Put down your gun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four immediately rushed forward and wrestled with the Daisi alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daisi alien’s physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary Earth humans; in the original series, he easily overpowered Asuka and Ryo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, he knocked down Tian Rui and Xiao Wu in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing the combined assault of Zara and Lucia, two “extraterrestrial Qiangzhe ,” he struggled to defend himself, unwilling to fire his weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Zara delivered a sharp chop to the Daisi alien’s shoulder, causing him to slump and slowly lose consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucia: “That was close. What was he planning to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zara: “Should we kill him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu hurriedly said: “Wait—I’ve dealt with extraterrestrials before, and this one doesn’t seem to have ill intent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mefras alien watching secretly: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dealt with extraterrestrials”? That’s me you’re talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu continued: “If he truly wanted to kill this girl, he could’ve shot her outright just now—but he didn’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And during the fight with us, he never fired at us either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone agreed it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu: “Before we uncover the truth, let’s observe a bit longer. Every life—human or alien—is precious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, Ultraman is also an alien.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve had cases before—Kofu and Metz aliens—before they showed clear hostility toward extraterrestrial visitors, we should exercise restraint.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“TPC’s people are on their way anyway. Let them take a look when they arrive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others agreed with his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the group comforted the shaken Umeda Ka while examining Gabishu inside the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucia: “Are there animals like this on Earth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though extraterrestrials, their knowledge was limited—far inferior to Hikari Toregia’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rui studied it for a while, then shook his head: “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu: “Then it must be an extraterrestrial lifeform... Take a photo and send it to TPC—they might know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rui had the same idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he soon realized, for some reason, the communication had been cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because of the scorching heat—and for some reason, he felt hotter and hotter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the ground shook violently. Far off, the mountain split open completely, and a searing blast of hot air erupted from within—a tower-like object appeared in their view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two seal-script characters on its surface revealed its identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the [Flame Mountain], another natural control machine like the previously seen [Heavenly Realm]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Realm generated typhoons to sweep across the surface; this one raised global temperatures, melting glaciers and flooding the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a massive thing! Was it hiding inside the mountain all along?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A monster? Did it create this extreme heat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the car wasn’t fixed yet, they had no time to care now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orphanage director and teachers quickly gathered the children and led them away from Flame Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some children who had just received Ultraman toys weren’t happy: “Why run from a monster? Ultraman will show up and destroy it soon, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu said: “Yes, Ultraman will come to fight the monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Ultraman has his own duty, and we have ours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we leave the battlefield, Ultraman won’t have to worry about protecting us—he can focus entirely on defeating the monster. None of you want to burden the hero, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words convinced the children, and they followed their teachers down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rui glanced at Xiao Wu in surprise—he hadn’t expected this guy to be so quick-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu slung the unconscious Daisi alien over his back and urged everyone to descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Ka walked at the rear of the group, clutching the box containing Gabishu, while Umeda Tsu kept a sharp eye on the creature inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But halfway down the mountain, they found the path blocked by trees toppled during the earthquake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems... this is the only way...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu placed the Daisi alien on the ground and moved forward to clear the branches, trying to carve a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspired by him, even Umeda Tsu—a diligent child—joined in, along with everyone except the orphanage director and teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you okay? You don’t seem to handle heat well,” Tian Rui said, watching Xiao Wu drenched in sweat, suspecting heat exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from his face with force, his hands never stopping: “I’m fine—I’m a believer in Ultraman. I won’t collapse so easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Ka, standing at the rear, gripped the box holding Gabishu tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—a flash of light—the box failed, no longer able to contain Gabishu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabishu emerged—and its body had grown larger; it was beginning to recover!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Seeing her friend grow, Umeda Ka froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Gabishu emitted a blue beam from its eyes, enveloping itself and Umeda Ka, teleporting away with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the intense heat from the rising ground temperature had awakened the unconscious Daisi alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him rise, Lucia and Zara immediately tensed, eyes sharp, ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu, exhausted from moving trees, gasped out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not evil, otherwise you’d have shot us back there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Things are urgent—a monster is behind us. If you can, help us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daisi alien tapped the device on his right hand, activating the translator, and spoke in the local language: “Fine. I’ll help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his laser gun and fired, swiftly clearing the blocked trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned—they hadn’t expected this alien to actually help. Xiao Wu was right; he didn’t seem evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu: “Great. Come with us and escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daisi alien: “The cage holding Gabishu may fail at any moment. Our priority now is to destroy it before that happens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rui: “Gabishu... is that the monster from the box just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daisi alien chose his words carefully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gabishu is a ferocious extraterrestrial lifeform. It claimed countless lives on Daisi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After sealing it, we intended to banish it into a black hole—but somehow, it escaped to this Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once freed, the consequences would be unimaginable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Tsu understood the gravity: “Gabishu is with my sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he turned to look at the rear of the group, he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Ka—with Gabishu—was gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horror spread across the Daisi alien’s face: “The cage must have failed. Gabishu took the girl—kidnapping hostages is its usual tactic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his sister now in the clutches of a vicious monster, Umeda Tsu panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rui: “Can you locate that monster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daisi alien tapped his device: “I can track its position. I’ll rescue the girl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu: “I know these roads. I’ll go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rui: “I’m coming too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucia and Zara wanted to follow, but Tian Rui said too many people would be a liability—they still had to protect the other orphanage children and escort them down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu: “Go ahead. We’ll catch up after rescuing Little Ka.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orphanage director, gazing at Flame Mountain in the distance, reluctantly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Tsu followed too. Xiao Wu understood his desire to protect his sister and allowed it, warning him not to get too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running against the heat for five minutes, Xiao Wu began sweating profusely, his skin turning pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight filled Tian Rui with dread—was this heatstroke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you alright? Don’t push yourself,” Tian Rui said. His own body was stronger, but even he was barely holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu stopped to catch his breath, his body limp but his gaze unwavering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine... don’t forget—I’m a follower of Ultraman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Ultraman faces a powerful foe, even with wounds and his chest light red, he never abandons those he protects. I won’t give up either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ultraman?” The Daisi alien behind him froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning through translation what Ultraman was like, he became delighted: \"You mean the members of the Cosmic Security Force? Can you contact them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vast and boundless universe, the Cosmic Security Force of the Land of Light shone like a beacon for countless peaceful interstellar civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not only symbols of order but also beings revered and longed for by the inhabitants of weak planets.\u003C\u002Fp>",1423,"2026-06-19T16:40:34.912Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","250240af20485ccac54305a7ab4f72f16db8a93c9bff1cbbb9fbd77a9d441831",null,"ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-546","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
