But right now, there’s still room for maneuver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the command room door opened and Professor Kiriyama entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded to Moroboshi Dan and Qi Ming first, then got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regarding this monster named Reiyeros, the Director wants every possible means deployed to eliminate it as soon as possible and minimize its impact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming looked up: “Tsuchibashi Yu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Kiriyama nodded: “Correct. Though in a sense, this monster is a sacrifice of human science, we must now find a way to destroy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming was uncertain whether Reiyeros, this “acquired mutation,” fell within the realm of Renryū—he wanted to observe further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Kiriyama glanced at Qi Ming, then at Moroboshi Dan: “Very well. Since you two are the frontline combatants now, you’ll handle the specifics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, he hesitated, glancing at Moroboshi Dan, reminding them to act swiftly and maintain secrecy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The reason behind Reiyeros’s appearance must not leak to the media—if it does, Director Tsuchibashi Yu will hold us accountable, and that’ll be trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Kiriyama left, Qi Ming asked Emi: “Tsuchibashi Yu seems very concerned about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emi looked around, leaned close to Qi Ming, and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Director Tsuchibashi Yu founded TPC, the United States gave major assistance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many of TPC’s cutting-edge technologies, it’s said, were transferred from a U.S. organization called ‘TLT.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now, many believe TPC is essentially no different from the former U.S. Okinawa garrison—a nail planted by America in Japan—and everyone wants to eliminate TPC’s influence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Reiyeros was directly caused by U.S. military nuclear tests in the Pacific—if word gets out, American environmentalists will protest, and the Director won’t be able to answer to the U.S. military.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming nodded slightly, thinking that in the original plot of *Blazer Ulaman*, Tsuchibashi Yu was indeed closely tied to the U.S. headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he could “retire but remain active,” “pull the strings from behind the curtain,” and wield real power strong enough to remove Chief of Staff Hazano Retsu at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kishida suggested that Reiyeros would leave behind large amounts of radioactive material during its movement, which could be used to track it and determine its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “It’s likely to head for the Ocean Research Institute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emi: “You mean the ultrasonic lure system will attract Reiyeros there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Why not evacuate the civilians there in advance, set up a battlefield, and fight it there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original plot, even after Rina shut down all ultrasonic lure transmitters, Pippi Reiyeros still landed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it can’t be avoided, better to fight it there directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moroboshi Dan: “But that area is under Defense Force jurisdiction—they might interfere, and things could get out of control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Isn’t the Defense Force supposed to be mourning Smith right now? If any fool dares to meddle, I’ll send him down to join Smith.” “Real impressive...” Yamana muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Qi Ming’s battle plan was approved; Moroboshi Dan decided to engage Reiyeros near the Ocean Research Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana and Kishida immediately departed—they would pilot Flyer I to patrol the ocean surface and monitor Reiyeros’s movements at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting, Nishijō Nagi regarded Qi Ming approvingly: “Your judgment is correct—we must seize the initiative.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming, glancing at his phone, replied: “The most important thing is not to split our forces—I’m only one person; I can’t attack two places simultaneously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emi beside him leaned in curiously: “Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “That O-wave... I can’t shake the feeling it’s not that simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, a boy named Iida Osamu returned home with the monster fish, placing it in a tank filled with seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the large red monster fish, pulled out his phone, and invited his friends over to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Osamu, your friends are here.” The door opened, and two boys and one girl entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So big!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three children stared at the monster fish in the tank, filled with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This greatly satisfied Iida Osamu’s vanity: “How’s that? Impressive, right! Five Wei , hand over the Champion’s Golden Belt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other boy looked dejected, unfastening his toy belt marked with a fish emblem: “I hate to give it up... here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing over the dragon-headed rod... no, the belt, the boy named Five Wei  asked: “But... is this fish really yours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iida Osamu’s heart skipped, but he kept a calm face: “Of course it is. What, are you doubting my skill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Wei : “Not exactly, but does this kind of fish exist along the Kanto coast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other boy also wondered: “This doesn’t look like a coastal fish—it’s more like a deep-sea species.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl said: “But it’s definitely a big fish—if you’re not satisfied, go catch one just as big.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!” said the boy who had previously held the Champion’s Belt: “I’ll catch an even bigger fish right where you caught this one—then you’ll have to give back the Golden Belt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the three asked where he had caught the fish, Iida Osamu stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, is this fish really yours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Going alone is cheating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell us already—where did you catch it? We’re begging you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with no choice, Iida Osamu reluctantly agreed to take his friends there the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, aboard the plane, Kishida analyzed: “At this speed, Reiyeros will reach the Ocean Research Institute around 10 a.m. tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.” Qi Ming replied from base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Ci : 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amplification: 6\u002F10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the main control page for the Any Key, thinking the next “Star Gathering” was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this Star Gathering, he had made some “special preparations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If successful, he might directly “gather” a 【S-Class】 top-tier existence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1128,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","558e0055df6db67d9424b5ea78ce17256dec45e5bbaa0d37ec2104ecfd49b0ab","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-75","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-73",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
