Where’s Team Member Qi Ming? He’s gone again?” Megumi glanced around curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Ryu Chunya appeared unexpectedly beside Megumi and delivered a brutal elbow strike to her back, knocking her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!” The fish tank in Megumi’s hands shattered; Angulas’s child bounced wildly amid shards of glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?!” Kishida, on board Sherlock’s vehicle, turned pale and reached for his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard everything—this is the giant fish’s child.

Fuck, why did you have to play Haru no Kage?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all going to end perfectly, and now you, disarmed as you are, still stir up trouble like in the original plot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are there so many mad dogs in the Defense Force? Your personal actions will cost all of humanity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry—get the child out before it enters Reiylos’s stomach, or it’ll dissolve instantly in gastric fluid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running was too slow—he needed teleportation, a teleport with no casting delay… he had to try this move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focus his mind, concentrate his intent, project his psychic energy to the target location… Shifting Form and Changing Shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Tiga’s body left a trail of afterimages, appearing before Reiylos as if tearing through space, and struck its abdomen with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!” Reiylos opened its mouth in agony; Qi Ming quickly thrust half his body inside and fished for Angulas’s child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reiylos thrashed violently, pounding Tiga’s abdomen with its fin-like arms, named “Million-Ton Fins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing its child swallowed, Angulas went into immediate shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It charged forward and slammed into Tiga’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain—so much pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped between two foes, Qi Ming endured the agony and the foul stench inside Reiylos’s mouth while retrieving the child; his germophobia drove him to madness—he thought, why the hell am I doing this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene stunned everyone on shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryu Chunya couldn’t accept it, roaring: “What is Ultraman doing? Why isn’t he destroying the monster?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi frowned: “Does Tiga also believe in coexistence between humans and monsters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seijiro nodded: “Ultraman warriors fight for life and justice—he surely doesn’t want to deepen the conflict, or many will die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Megumi, still rubbing her back after being elbowed, stood up: “But… this is too hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida: “Under these circumstances, we can’t help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana: “How can we not help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped beside Ryu Chunya and delivered a powerful left hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryu Chunya, still stunned by Ultraman’s “inaction,” had no defense—three teeth, spattered with blood, flew out as he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yamana didn’t stop—he straddled Ryu Chunya and swung left and right: “Dare you attack our Victory Team? You bastard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defense Force personnel, seeing their commander attacked, rushed forward to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kishida, snapping back to his senses, drew his gun—forcing those just disarmed by Qi Ming to freeze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryu Chunya’s vision swam with stars; worse than the physical pain was the shocked, bewildered stares of his own soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own subordinates watching him beaten like this—how could he ever maintain authority again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain in his head surged like a tide; the humiliation in his chest cut like a thousand knives—his mind and body finally gave out, and he fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, now let Qi Ming handle this—he’s good at this kind of thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana looked at Ryu Chunya, now a swollen mess, stood up, and withdrew his fists with slight satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida blinked: “That’s oddly fitting… but where’s Qi Ming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Megumi: “You just noticed? I didn’t see him when I came back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone again… This stirred a quiet unease in Megumi and Nishijo Nagi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At sea, Qi Ming, enduring both physical and mental torment, seized the tiny fish just before it entered the digestive tract and pulled it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he withdrew from Reiylos’s mouth, he kicked Angulas backward several meters with a spiteful backheel and placed its child before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got your child back. Leave.” Qi Ming, furious and nearly out of his mind, had no patience left—his tone was harsh and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angulas instinctively sensed the overwhelming resentment radiating from the giant; it didn’t hesitate, snatched its child, and swiftly returned to the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Megumi murmured: “Ultraman Tiga… is so gentle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the “gentle Ultraman” Megumi spoke of turned around—facing the fallen Ryu Chunya, radiating pure malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1149,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1f664450aef75f246cbd01c83919205500a4a32f32fe7c067fb2f8e5cfb87844","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-78","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-76",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
