Z-City, Ghost Town.
Minoru's figure appeared out of thin air above the ruins of the Monster Association headquarters.
His gaze pierced through layers of rock and soil, reaching deep down to 1,500 meters underground. There, several powerful auras were surging, rapidly approaching the surface.
"Moving quite fast." Minoru murmured to himself as his body descended.
The moment his feet touched the ground, the ruins in front of him suddenly exploded.
Boom!
Countless rocks splattered, and dust billowed into the sky.
Three figures burst out from deep underground.
On the far left was a man with messy hair and beard, wearing tattered clothes. His whole body emitted an eerie white light, and his eyes burned with fanatical flames.
Homeless Emperor.
"Finally! We're finally out!" Homeless Emperor spread his arms and roared at the sky.
"Gyoro Gyoro is dead! No matter who did it, these bugs on the surface today will be buried with it!"
In the middle was a bloated ball of flesh. His body was covered in greasy fat, and his mouth was so large it almost took up his entire face.
Gums.
'Kill the murderer who killed Gyoro Gyoro, and then... eat them.'
On the far right was a centipede over a hundred meters long. Its dark red shell gleamed with a metallic luster.
Elder Centipede.
"Gyoro Gyoro's aura has indeed vanished. No matter who the killer is, they must die here today."
The ground in the distance shook again as several more equally powerful auras approached.
Not far away, a wretched-looking figure—entirely black with a white face and a single antenna on its head—was riding on a slightly smaller dog, moving quickly toward them.
Minoru recognized them at a glance. It was Black Sperm and Overgrown Rover.
"All familiar faces." Minoru murmured with some emotion.
Almost all of the Monster Association's top combat power was here.
Homeless Emperor, Gums, Elder Centipede, Black Sperm, Overgrown Rover.
Any one of them would be a headache for the Hero Association for a long time, yet they were all gathered before him now.
"Hmm?"
Homeless Emperor finally noticed the figure ahead.
He squinted at Minoru. "A human?"
"Hahahaha! Gyoro Gyoro just died, and a human delivers himself to our doorstep! Just right! Let me show you the power granted by God..."
"Excuse me." Minoru spoke and took a step forward.
Homeless Emperor's body froze. His body lost all control in that instant.
Two steps.
A look of blankness appeared on Gums' face. It looked down at its bloated body and saw that it was disintegrating.
Three steps.
Elder Centipede's pupils shrank. Even having experienced countless battles, he had never felt this kind of fear.
"You..."
He wanted to say something but it was too late.
Four steps.
Minoru walked between the three bodies, not even giving them a second glance.
Behind him, Homeless Emperor's body turned into countless points of light and scattered, Gums' mountain of flesh collapsed into a pile of black powder and Elder Centipede's hundred-meter-long body shattered segment by segment, finally collapsing completely.
...
Five hundred meters away.
Black Sperm's movements froze completely.
"What... what was that..."
Beneath him, Overgrown Rover's limbs went weak, and a low whimper came from its throat.
The man and the dog watched the figure slowly approaching from the distance.
There were three living Dragon Level monsters there just a moment ago. Now, nothing was left.
"Am... am I dreaming?" Black Sperm's voice was trembling.
He had never seen anything like this. He just walked by, and they died.
What level of monster is this?
Overgrown Rover crouched even lower, wishing it could bury itself in the dirt.
In the distance, Minoru's footsteps stopped and he looked over.
Black Sperm's heart skipped a beat. "Run... run quickly!!!"
Overgrown Rover's four legs dug frantically into the ground, and he turned and bolted.
Minoru watched the figures disappear over the horizon in a flash, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.
"It runs quite fast."
Minoru withdrew his gaze and continued walking deep into the ruins.
...
Minoru stood at the entrance of the passage leading to the Monster Association Headquarters.
Ahead was a deep tunnel that seemed to have no end.
Minoru's consciousness had already spread out in all directions and covered the entire underground fortress.
Soon, noisy sounds came from the tunnel ahead.
"A human has broken in!"
"Kill him! Avenge Gyoro Gyoro!"
"Charge!"
At least twenty monsters swarmed out from the depths of the tunnel.
Demon Level, Tiger-level, and even a mutated creature that had just been promoted to Dragon Level.
They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, acting aggressively.
Minoru just continued walking forward.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
The movements of those twenty-odd monsters froze simultaneously. They maintained their charging postures, bloodthirsty excitement still remaining in their eyes. Then, they disintegrated silently, turning into countless tiny specks of dust.
'It really is quite useful.' The corners of Minoru's lips curled up slightly.
This psychokinesis originated from Geryuganshoop and had been completely absorbed by him using Divine Authority Deprivation. At this moment, it had completely surpassed the scope of being "Number One in the Universe."
...
Inside the Infinity Castle.
Psykos stared intently at the light screen. Seeing monsters turn to dust just by Minoru walking, her pupils contracted.
"Th-this, what kind of power is this?"
...
Deep inside the underground fortress.
Minoru continued forward, encountering more and more monsters along the way.
Demon Level, Dragon Level, in groups, or patrolling alone. Not a single one could last more than three seconds.
No, to be precise, not a single one could last past the moment Minoru walked by.
Wherever he passed, the existence of the monsters was deleted from the world.
A Dragon Level monster tried to launch a long-range attack. The energy cannon had just condensed when it dissipated into the air.
A Demon Level monster wanted to run away. Having just run two steps, its body began to disintegrate.
Monsters acting in a group tried to scatter and surround him. They did indeed scatter but they also disappeared at the same time.
Minoru didn't even deliberately try to "kill" them, he just maintained the coverage area of his psychokinesis..That was all.
"This efficiency is faster than cleaning up a room." Minoru remarked with a sigh.
Ahead, a massive Dragon Level monster was shrinking into a corner. It was a crustacean-like mutated creature, and its defense ranked in the top three within the association. It didn't charge forward because it had already seen how those companions in front had disappeared.
"D-don't kill me... I surrender... I can be your slave..." it begged for mercy while trembling.
Minoru glanced at it. "A monster from the Monster Association, begging me for mercy?"
He walked past, the crustacean Dragon Level monster turning into dust.
"Having Psykos as a slave is enough." Minoru said.
Inside the Infinity Castle.
Hearing these words, Psykos's face turned red. "Wh-who is your slave!"
She bit her lip, staring at the back of the figure continuing forward on the light screen. Her heartbeat, however, inexplicably quickened by a few beats.
...
Underground fortress, entrance to the core area.
In front was a stone door, with distorted patterns carved upon it. From the cracks of the door, a suffocating sense of pressure seeped out.
That aura was completely different from other Dragon Level monsters. That was the King of Monsters, truly standing at the top of the biological chain.
"Finally here."
Minoru raised his hand and gave it a light push, the stone door swinging open.
Behind the door was an empty underground space. A dome hundreds of meters high, and a circular plaza nearly a thousand meters in diameter.
In the center of the plaza was Monster King Orochi.
Its head turned, two eyes looking at the tiny figure at the door.
"Human, it was you who killed my children."
Minoru looked up at this behemoth, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Finally, there's one that can last two seconds longer."
He stepped forward and entered the plaza.
Orochi leaned forward slightly, its eyes locking onto Minoru. "Human, you are very strong. Join me. Together with me, rule this world."
Minoru raised an eyebrow. "Is your Monster Association always this direct when recruiting?"
"Refuse? Then die."
Orochi moved, his speed completely inconsistent with his size. A hand descended from the sky, smashing down towards the top of Minoru's head.
Minoru glanced up and continued walking forward.
BOOM!
The hand smashed into the ground, and the entire underground space shook.
Orochi's pupils contracted slightly. In the dust, that figure was still walking forward and in the center of his palm, a huge hole had appeared. Minoru had passed right through that hole.
Minoru commented, "Good strength. But it's completely useless against me."
Orochi's pupils contracted sharply. It felt an invisible force covering the entire space.
This force had been there from the very beginning. It was just that he had only noticed it now.
Minoru stopped and looked up at this behemoth. "You are Psykos's creation. So I will give you a choice. Submit, or disappear."
