To make amends, you must take real action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain and first mate exchanged grim looks, then went to consult the other crew members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, the captain and first mate brought a bottle of clear sake to Kurosaki’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurosaki was currently plotting his “revenge plan” with his assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He claimed to know a reporter named “Hirakawa,” whose reports were highly incendiary; if he told him everything, all members of the Victory Team would be ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain hesitated before speaking: “Mr. Kurosaki, please return the turtle eggs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurosaki stared in shock: “What are you talking about? We’ve spent so much time and money—now that the turtle queen is gone, if we lose the eggs too, all our efforts will be wasted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain said the hives might truly be the turtle’s curse, and they shouldn’t stubbornly persist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurosaki: “Captain, don’t listen to those Victory Team fools—they know nothing. When we return to Tokyo, I’ll show them what real consequences look like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain pleaded earnestly, but Kurosaki refused to accept total loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, both sides broke down completely; the captain smashed his cup on the floor: “Don’t make me force you to drink the punishment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door burst open again—crew members, unable to bear the itching, appeared, demanding to seize the eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capture team refused to let their efforts go in vain; they worked for Kurosaki because they shared in the profits from selling the eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had been beaten unconscious by Qi Ming during the day and could do nothing but watch helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurosaki, obsessed with wealth, clung tightly to one giant egg—but after a powerful kick to the back of his head from the first mate, he fainted again and let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will this cause a concussion?” the captain asked as they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares? As long as we survive,” the first mate replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Qi Ming’s instructions, they sailed back to Oulongdao and found the furious turtle queen, weeping blood, howling to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My god, this turtle is enormous—it’s already a monster level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare Kurosaki and his crew provoke something like this? They’ve dragged us into this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew muttered curses under their breath; the turtle queen, seeing those bearing the “mark of death,” turned her eyes red and charged to kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please spare us! Your children were stolen by Kurosaki—we’ve brought them back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain and first mate placed the four turtle eggs on the sand and led the crew in kowtowing before the turtle queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the turtle queen refused to forgive those who ate her children; her rage remained fierce, and the crew trembled in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qi Ming stepped forward, standing between the turtle queen and the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They had only an employer-employee relationship with Kurosaki. Without them, others would have served him under profit’s drive. Please punish only the mastermind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the trembling crew, Qi Ming remained calm and composed, and his demeanor actually made the turtle queen halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy is the coolest person I’ve ever seen,” muttered one crew member, gazing at Qi Ming’s fearless, dignified presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the turtle queen retrieved the eggs and spat a stream of water onto the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So refreshing! My god, the itching is gone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, your hives have disappeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mine too—the curse is gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some crew members kowtowed again in thanks, but the turtle queen ignored them entirely, carrying her children back to the center of Oulongdao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a benevolent creature—to spare the accomplices,” Qi Ming mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One crew member looked around: “Hey, where’s the turtle king?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “He’s probably handling business. Good and evil always meet their due.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quarreling with the captain of the Fourth Sakura Maru, Kurosaki and his group, barely able to walk, quickly switched ships and returned to Japan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! It’s all their fault—we got nothing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agony of returning empty-handed made Kurosaki’s heart bleed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the journey, he swore that once ashore, he would destroy the Victory Team and the crew’s reputations, turning them into pariahs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll sue them in court—make them go to jail!” Kurosaki’s assistant echoed the same fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a massive shadow circled overhead, flying toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is that? A UFO?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurosaki raised his telescope—and turned pale: “It’s the turtle from Oulongdao—it can fly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turtle king arrived to seek vengeance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flew above the capture team like a bomber and opened its mouth, spitting out several red spheres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were [Ball-shaped Flame Bombs]—equivalent to powerful explosives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! It’s coming for us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spheres exploded among the capture team; flames spread, and the group screamed in the fire, reduced to charred corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally dead,” Qi Ming said upon hearing the news, unsurprised—he knew this wasn’t over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original Ultraman Taro series, an officer named Shi Misi viewed the giant turtle as a thorn in his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the turtle couple returned to Oulongdao, he dispatched a fleet to bombard it; the entire island was flattened, and most of the eggs destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turtle queen protected one egg in her mouth, but her head was accidentally hit by shrapnel, driving her into a frenzy. She stormed into Tokyo, wreaking havoc to avenge her kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hikaru Kotaro transformed into Ultraman Taro and fought the turtle queen; to protect innocent civilians, he was forced to kill her with the Stream Beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last egg hatched into a tiny turtle that pressed its head against its dead mother’s, sobbing toward Taro—a scene that once shattered young Qi Ming’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on information from Hui Mei, Qi Ming discovered that this officer named “Shi Misi” was active in this world, currently serving in the Defense Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Mei: “Oulongdao falls under Shi Misi’s jurisdiction. He’s long believed the giant turtle obstructs Defense Force ships and submarines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that the turtle has killed people, he finally has an excuse to eliminate them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was running out; Qi Ming prepared to visit Aizan Makoto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—what’s this? So beautiful!” Another report arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night had fallen; the residents of Shenjindao witnessed an unbelievable sight—light scattered like snowflakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the footage was projected onto the big screen, Qi Ming’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Chaos Virus from Ultraman Gaos!
