Chapter 943

"Hah~"

The high-intensity use of psychic power gave Tatsumaki a feeling similar to an ordinary person pulling an all-nighter; her heart rate sped up a bit, and her breathing grew heavier. She took a deep breath in and let it out, only then calming her tense spirit.

"Are there going to be new enemies appearing————"

The humming sound drew closer. Tatsumaki, floating in mid-air, looked down at the ruins beneath her feet. Her powerful psychic ability granted her perception that was not weak; although it didn't reach the level of Broly's Ki Sense, she could clearly capture the existence of high-energy individual units.

At this moment, within Tatsumaki's psychic perception, there was indeed a high-energy unit underground, rapidly approaching from the depths below.

"Boom~"

Atop the ruins, soil and stone suddenly shattered and exploded. A figure leaped out from within, and with a thunderous crash, landed upon the ground. Some nearby rubble and buildings were shaken and sent flying one or two meters high.

The guy who emerged from underground actually had a giant humanoid body over ten meters tall. Its body seemed to be wearing a squirming suit of armor, and behind it dragged a massive dragon-snake long tail.

On its head was a contour resembling a human face like a mask, only the entire face was covered in cracked patterns. Its mouth held layer upon layer of multiple rows of sharp fangs, and its pair of eyes emitting a faint yellow glow, after scanning a circle across the surface, locked onto Tatsumaki's body in the sky.

"I'm still alive, no wait, Monster King Orochi-sama has come out, great, we monsters are saved!"

The Tiger Level monster who had luckily survived amidst the giant waves of earth and stone kicked up by the shockwave, upon seeing the tall figure standing atop the ruins in the distance, shouted out in pleasant surprise.

"So that's your Monster Association's big Boss, huh? Come on, spill it honestly, what tricks does that big guy have and what are his weaknesses?"

A voice came from behind. The Tiger Level monster turned its head and discovered a row of S-Class Heroes standing behind it. Bang and the others had all been thrown over by Tatsumaki using psychic power, and were all thrown into one spot.

"I'll spill it honestly, brave heroes, can you spare me a way to live?

The Tiger Level monster's heart was somewhat collapsing; it asked with a forced smile.

"That depends on your performance."

Metal Bat tapped his baseball bat against the palm of his other hand. Beside him stood two white-haired youths who both looked pretty arrogant: Young Bang and Garou. These three standing together looked just like a delinquent gang bullying the weak, making the Tiger Level monster surrounded in the middle tremble and shake.

"Within the Monster Association, no monster knows Monster King-sama's true strength. The only thing we can know is that that Lord's strength is definitely above all Dragon Level monsters. In the past, there were also some outside Dragon Level monsters who tried to challenge Monster King-sama, but without exception they were all defeated, some even eaten directly————"

While the Tiger Level monster poured out the Monster King's intel to a group of S-Class Heroes like beans from a bamboo tube, Tatsumaki's side was also sizing up the intimidating Monster King, and gave an evaluation of the guy standing on the ground: "You look like you're a bit stronger than the small fry from just now."

"Being able to kill Giant Eye, you've got some skill. If you're willing to eat Monster Cells and turn into a monster to join us, I can spare your life."

From within the Monster King's giant mouth full of sharp fangs came a low, hoarse voice; it was actually recruiting Tatsumaki.

"Sorry, maybe my words gave you a misunderstanding. Although you look stronger than the small fry from just now, in front of me, you're still just a slightly bigger small fry.

97

The corner of Tatsumaki's mouth curled up slightly; the content of her words was filled with a haughty, bratty loli tone.

"Looks like you've chosen death."

"If you can do it, then come try."

Tatsumaki raised her hand, fingertips pointing toward the Monster King's direction. The stones around the ground where the Monster King stood flew up out of thin air, wrapping around the Monster King's body at extreme speed and sealing its movements.

And in front of Tatsumaki's fingertips, a visible air vortex appeared. Her psychic power compressed a large amount of air, forming a super-sized psychokinetic air cannon.

"Big small fry, your existence truly makes me feel unpleasant. Disappear.

Tatsumaki's voice turned cold, her eyes like she was looking at a dead object. The next instant, she fired the super-sized air cannon toward the Monster King.

"Trifling skill."

The Monster King's body was sealed, but it opened its mouth. From inside its mouth spread dense, plant-root-like flesh tendrils, forming a layered, man-eating flower maw, which bit toward the flying super-sized air cannon. It actually swallowed the air cannon.

"Seen ones seeking death, never seen one seeking death this much. Detonate!"

Tatsumaki snapped her fingers. The Monster King's body rapidly swelled up. The compressed air released instantly inside its body, bloating the Monster King up like it was about to explode.

However, the Monster King, bloated to twice its size, merely had a portion of its skin burst open. Immediately after, its body deflated like a punctured leather ball, expelling the large amount of air from the compressed air cannon shot into its body. A small storm formed around its body, then it returned to its original state, and its injuries rapidly recovered.

It raised its head and glanced at Tatsumaki above. Its dragon-snake-headed tail lifted and opened, and immediately a super high-temperature heat ray sprayed out from within, shooting toward Tatsumaki's direction.

The super high-temperature heat ray was blocked by the psychokinetic defensive barrier on Tatsumaki's body, but the feeling it gave Tatsumaki was that its power was stronger by ten-odd times compared to Homeless Emperor's energy bullet spheres.

"Monster King-sama is an Ultimate Lifeform; he has no weaknesses whatsoever."

The Tiger Level monster finished speaking, *pa* a sound.

"With this kind of useless intel, you also want to live?"

Metal Bat sent it off with one swing of his bat.

"Do we need to go over there and help?"

"That side's situation, do you think we can even intervene?"

The crowd of S-Class Heroes watched the core battle zone. The Monster King, from whose body countless dragon-snake vines drilled out, had each of those dragon-snake heads open its mouth and fire large amounts of high-temperature rays pursuing Tatsumaki, carving out molten gullies on the ground — such a scene.

With a scene like this, let alone intervening in the battle, just getting close would only add trouble for Tatsumaki.

After all, they aren't espers; they don't know the trick of a psychokinetic defensive barrier. Once hit by a ray, they'd probably evaporate from the face of the earth.

Of course, there are individuals who can participate in this kind of battle, for example Genos. His mecha body underwent modification before coming, allowing it to form an energy barrier similar to a psychokinetic defense.

Just as he prepared to fly over to support Tatsumaki, a high-pressure water cannon shot toward him. Evil Natural Water actually didn't die.

Not only did this Dragon Level monster resembling an elemental life not die, the Dragon Level monsters who timely escaped the core bombardment zone also didn't die.

Even Gum and Ugly Great President, who were inside the core bombardment zone and failed to escape in time, relied on their thick-skinned and tough bodies to endure the soil and stone shockwave.

Of course, they weren't unscathed either; they still had not-light crush injuries. It's just that as Dragon Level monsters, their life force is comparatively astonishing.

"Damn it, to actually put me in such a sorry state————"

Ugly Great President crawled out from the rubble. His words weren't finished when Gum, crawling out behind him with severe injuries, pounced over and bit him.

"Bastard, Gum, what the hell do you think you're doing?"

Ugly Great President panicked, raising his hands to block its gnawing, yet shouted out in some terror.

"What else can it do? Gum is severely injured; right now it only has the instinct to devour. Naturally it wants to devour you, treating you as nourishment to recover from its injuries."

Black Sperm was acting like a monster with nothing wrong. Although the soil and stone shockwave just now killed many of its clones that couldn't escape in time, compared to its total clone count of fifty-four trillion, these dead clones didn't amount to much.

"Black Sperm, hurry up and help, stop this guy Gum!"

Gum's gnawing and devouring ability is also a unique skill within the Monster Association. Ugly Great President felt he could barely hold on, and directly cried for help toward Black Sperm outside.

"Help? No problem!"

Hearing the plea for help, Black Sperm first froze for a moment, then nodded.

Seemingly to guarantee the rescue, it fused multiple clones, turning itself into the form of a Giant Black Sperm, and sprinted over rapidly.

Then, right in the hopeful gaze of Ugly Great President, an evil smile surfaced on its face, and with one kick it sent Ugly Great President flying into Gums' mouth.

【The Monster King has appeared; the combat power of monsters and heroes has become unbalanced. Eliminate you first, so those heroes have more strength to deal with the Monster King————】

"Letting Gums recover power is fine too; a severely injured Ugly Great President indeed has no need to survive any longer."

The Monster Association is not a monolith; on the contrary, there are many ambitious Dragon-level monsters inside. The other Dragon-level monsters felt nothing strange about Black Sperm kicking Ugly Great President while he was down; some even directly agreed.

"The world of monsters is truly cruel and devoid of humanity."

The battle between S-Class Heroes and Dragon-level monsters began again, and this time Black Sperm did not intervene; it planned to watch the other Dragon-level monsters get killed off.

Even after the other Dragon-level monsters were killed off, as long as no heroes came after it and they all went to deal with the Monster King, it was happy to stand by with folded arms.

Of course, Black Sperm's idea was good, but it miscalculated one thing: Ugly Great President is a monster who grows stronger the uglier he becomes.

Although Gums swallowed Ugly Great President down into his stomach, the digestive fluids inside also ruined the other's appearance beyond recognition,

making him even uglier, and this instead increased Ugly Great President's power.

The weakened Gums suddenly felt abdominal pain, collapsed on the ground and struggled for a short while, then his belly was torn open from the inside by someone, and Strong Acid Form Ugly Great President made his reappearance.

"Black Sperm!"

The reappeared Ugly Great President did not target the S-Class Heroes, but instead locked onto Black Sperm who had kicked him into Gums' belly, raised a hand and dissolved the Giant Black Sperm, absorbing it as protein into his own half-melted body.

"Hiss, Ugly Great President, can we reconcile?"

The other Black Sperm, seeing this, hurriedly asked.

"Reconcile inside my body!"

Not to mention the civil war erupting between the enraged Ugly Great President and Black Sperm, Garou — a Hero Hunter who dislikes bullying the few with the many and oppressing the weak with strength — directly gave up on ganging up on the remaining Dragon-level monsters with the other S-Class Heroes, and instead rushed straight toward the most dangerous core battle zone.

In his view, the Monster King's current multi-headed hydra form belonged to the numerous and powerful side, while Tatsumaki, being pursued and attacked, belonged to the few and weak side.

He is a companion of the minority and the weak; besides, he wants to settle accounts with the Monster Association, so naturally he must settle with the strongest one.

"That idiot!"

Bang saw this, cursed once, and could only chase after him.

Facing the beam attacks of the Monster King Orochi in peak form, the pressure on Tatsumaki was immense, but as she dodged, she felt the beams shooting at her suddenly decrease.

Tatsumaki looked down and discovered a white broom-headed guy attacking the dragon-snake heads underneath that were spraying high-temperature beams.

"Truly a fool who doesn't know death; is this a battle you can participate in?!"

Although someone shared the pressure for her, Tatsumaki still cursed, because she saw some dragon-snake heads had already turned their heads toward that fool who intervened in this battle, and the light of high-temperature beams was condensing in their mouths.

However, just as Tatsumaki prepared to use telekinesis to protect Garou, another figure rushed in a step ahead and blew up the dragon-snake heads preparing to attack Garou.

"Stinky old man, why did you follow me here?"

"I followed because I don't want to watch you, this idiot disciple, run over alone to send yourself to death."

"Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!" *2

Master and disciple spoke with their mouths, but their hands didn't stop; cooperating, they unleashed Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, pulverizing the surrounding dragon-snake heads.

And the core battle zone shifted from Tatsumaki soloing the peak-period Monster King Orochi to a situation of three heroes — Tatsumaki, Bang, and the Garou master-disciple duo — fighting the Monster King.

Not to mention, with two frontline fighters causing disturbance, the pressure Tatsumaki faced plummeted, and she finally had the leisure to observe why the Monster King Orochi dared to so recklessly use high-temperature energy beams and still continuously recover from injuries.

"I see; those flesh tendril roots linked to you are continuously supplying you with Earth's core energy. No wonder you dare output energy attacks so recklessly and can keep healing wounds————"

After discovering this, Tatsumaki immediately took out her communicator and contacted the Hero Association Frontline Command personnel who had retreated far away earlier.

"You all quickly contact every hero on the ground, make them all withdraw from Z-City Ghost Town District right now."

"Ah, Miss Tatsumaki, what do you plan to do?"

"Don't ask so many useless things; in short, if they don't withdraw, I might just kill them all together later."

Broly's side soon also received the withdrawal order; he turned his head to look at Saitama beside him: "What did I say? We don't need to provide support; Tatsumaki alone can handle it."

"Alright, but what does that smug green algae-head intend to do? Just now she lifted half a city and smashed it down; this time she won't try to lift the whole city and smash it, right?"

Saitama asked with some curiosity.

"That I don't know.

"

Broly shrugged.

"I've never seen my sister push her psychic powers to the extreme either."

Hell's Blizzard also said a line.

On the ground, all non-S-Class heroes, upon receiving the withdrawal order, withdrew in an orderly fashion directly.

And the S-Class heroes who hadn't yet decided victory or defeat against Dragon-level monsters also left the field one after another.

The Dragon-level monsters did not pursue, only because they smelled an ominous presence.

"The shockwave of earth and stone caused by smashing half a city down just now was also like this right now————"

Hellfire, Gale Wind, and Chomusuke, these three Dragon-level monsters glanced at each other and decisively fled as well.

Conversely, Ugly Great President was fighting fiercely with Black Sperm, unaware of the heroes' movements.

It was Black Sperm, with its numerous clones, that noticed the situation.

However, having been provoked into anger by Ugly Great President, it simply didn't want to retreat.

【Anyway, some clones have already run out; even if this fused body dies here, I fundamentally have nothing to fear————】

Black Sperm thought so.

As the heroes evacuated Ghost Town District, leaving only Bang and the Garou master-disciple duo in close-quarters entanglement with Monster King Orochi, Tatsumaki used telekinesis to wrap the two of them up, then like firing a cannonball, launched them toward the outside of Ghost Town District.

The Monster King saw the two guys entangling him get taken away by Tatsumaki using psychic power, and couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, not understanding what Tatsumaki was doing.

"Alright, the troublesome guys are gone, now you should go die too."

"The three of you couldn't handle me together, now only you remain, and you still want to kill me? Who knows who it was that just now got grazed by my beams and flew around everywhere."

"Just now someone was here, so I couldn't go all out, but now no one's here, so let you witness the reason why I'm called the Tornado of Terror."

", my display seems to be broken, the satellite overhead view of Z City Ghost District, unexpectedly a distortion phenomenon appeared."

"No, your display shouldn't be broken."

"Huh?

"

"Because the image shown on my display is also like this."

Hero Association Headquarters, the staff monitoring Z City Ghost District via satellite, from a God's-eye view personally watched a city be forcibly twisted into the shape of a tornado.

At the scene, as the main target of Tatsumaki's attack, Monster King Orochi's body was uprooted, his flesh and blood thoroughly crushed by Tatsumaki's incomparably terrifying psychic power, transforming into part of the building materials of a spiral tornado platform rising from flat ground.

If only looking at the magic appearance, this spiral tornado platform is just like an abstract sculpture building, large amounts of city scrap mixed with Monster King's partially intact flesh and blood.

And Tatsumaki, having done all this, panted in big mouthfuls, her flight height gradually lowering, just like an artist who just completed a perfect work, temporarily exhausted of spiritual sense and physical strength, her fatigue now magic and visible.

Of course, inversely proportional to the fatigue, is her current sense of achievement after defeating a strong enemy.

. 888

Broly floated in the low sky, satisfied watching Tatsumaki land not far away.

And the happiness value on her right now, is rapidly rising.

Clearly, this Monster Association subjugation game, Tatsumaki played fairly enjoyably.

【New capture target discovered, Seksu, current happiness value 1】

Just as Broly was about to close the Crystal Palace Panel, a new prompt message suddenly jumped out.
