Make it appear, just like in the original series, and turn into Ultraman Next to kill this monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The executives burst into tears: “Shinmori Shun’ichi is fictional!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Russian: “Aren’t the monsters fictional too? Yet here it is, running wild across the world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, someone from Shenzhou reminded them: “Shinmori Shun’ichi lacks the power—he couldn’t fully kill [the·one] in the original series, which is why the Alien Vivifier factors spread everywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need something stronger—someone who can completely eliminate the Alien Vivifier disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they had Tsuburaya’s screenwriters produce a short film: [Ultraman King, Reideen, Noah, and Saga] descend into their “real world” to kill [the·one].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless—they never actually summoned the Four Mystical Ultras; the short film remained just a film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still unwilling to give up, they tried again, urgently recalling every human host actor of every Ultraman to transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the original to Blazar, even the female human host of Belial wasn’t spared—they filmed countless shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how many gods they summoned, it made no difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exhausting every method without success, the “Five Good Men” lost heart and accepted reality, abandoning their fantasies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, even Biyaku has imagination,” Qi Ming muttered, astonished and unable to suppress a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ordinary people living in this world found nothing funny—most citizens believed the end of the world had come and lived in constant dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many felt Earth was inevitably heading toward a countdown, since humanity’s weapons were powerless against the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others trusted their governments, believing scientists could eventually develop weapons to counter or even crush [the·one], like the super mechs from [Pacific Rim].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet from the news comment sections, most remained pessimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—who are those people outside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Qi Ming noticed a pair of figures outside the car window, clad in dark purple robes, holding televisions that repeatedly played footage of military units being pierced by [the·one].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this public education, trying to make people take the monster disaster seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver said: “They’re members of the [the·one] Church.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming froze—using the name of the Ancestral Alien Vivifier as a cult?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver: “They believe human development has violated nature and angered heaven. The gods took the form of that monster to punish humanity and purify this filthy world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only by giving away all your wealth and converting to their faith can you be saved and reach the purified new world alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming thought: This is clearly a cult—“People actually believe this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver: “We have hundreds of thousands of [the·one] Church followers here, but I feel something’s off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming said: “Clearly, the majority are still rational—you think it’s nonsense too, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver replied with a skeptical look: “This cult isn’t just in Britain—it’s in France, in America, in every major country except Shenzhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>",735,"2026-06-19T16:40:34.912Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a8602b6f0e78cf6fa62057c8279b29fa5ea0e12a6f1990556ef76cd6c75d9654","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-519","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-517",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
