Chapter 944

Psychic powers are not an ability without cost; once overused, they result in a state of exhaustion similar to excessive physical exertion.

Seksu, when the Monster King mobilized and arrived at the surface, also secretly slipped out from deep underground; she wrapped herself in psychic power to conceal her presence.

Only after Tatsumaki cleared the field, grinding the Monster King into scraps that drifted down from the sky — at what looked like the moment she breathed a sigh of relief — did Seksu make her move.

She silently approached behind Tatsumaki, her hand shaped into a claw, condensing her psychic power upon it, and reached for Tatsumaki's head.

However, contrary to Seksu's expectation that she could instantly shatter Tatsumaki's head, her psychic power actually clashed against the pale green psychic power wrapped around Tatsumaki's body.

"You're truly cautious enough; even after defeating a powerful enemy, you still haven't dispersed the psychic barrier around yourself?"

"This mental frequency fluctuation — you're the manipulator behind that pink disgusting guy, right? After I wiped out your puppet, not only did you not escape while I was too busy to deal with you, you actually dared to launch a sneak attack on me — what nerve!"

The collision of psychic powers constituted some ionization phenomena; arcs of electricity wandered between the two.

"Being able to eliminate the Monster King I painstakingly cultivated for many years, you are undoubtedly a psychic monster; however, after eliminating the Monster King, you also expended a massive amount of mental power. I can clearly sense your psychic strength has weakened by more than a notch compared to before. The current you is no match for me, who has deployed my main body!"

Blue veins bulged on Seksu's forehead; her psychic output instantly increased, and cracks appeared in the protective barrier around Tatsumaki.

"Go die!"

The barrier shattered; Tatsumaki was sent flying backward, her head assailed by waves of dizziness, the psychic light on her body flickering like a bad signal.

"Bang~"

Tatsumaki crashed onto the ruin-like ground.

"Suffering a heavy blow to the head, yet still able to prop up a protective barrier again, blocking the impact before being crushed to death — truly lucky enough."

Seksu inhaled and exhaled deeply, calming the stabbing pain in her head like needle pricks from psychic power overload.

On the ground, the disappearance of the psychic light from Tatsumaki's body meant she wasn't in a rush to pursue.

"That guy Fubuki once treated you as an insurmountable mountain, but looking now, you're nothing more than this.

Tell me, should I capture you, the world's number one esper, or just kill you right now?"

Seksu floated down, saying this to Tatsumaki lying on the ground, yet discovered she received no response.

And this was only natural; the violent mental shock left Tatsumaki currently in a state of concussion, her ears full of buzzing, completely unable to hear what the person before her was saying; even her vision had double images, her consciousness somewhat scattered.

【Am I going to die? Is there anyone to save me?】

Unable to focus her attention, with consciousness gradually scattering, some messy thoughts surfaced.

【In a critical situation, don't think someone will come save you.】

Tatsumaki suddenly recalled what Blast had said to her in childhood.

The world before her eyes seemed to become clear again, only her body completely lacked strength.

At some unknown time, a familiar figure appeared before her.

"Sorry, Tatsumaki, I'm late."

"Blast, is that you?"

"It's me. Rest assured, now that I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."

The Blast before her extended his palm toward her.

"Come, accept my power; let's defeat the enemy together."

It seemed as long as she grasped that palm, she could completely relax.

"Blast————"

Tatsumaki raised her hand and reached out, but did not grasp Blast's palm; instead she directly grabbed his face.

"You're not Blast at all; the real Blast wouldn't say this kind of thing to me, he would only make me believe in my own power—" The vague man's face dissipated, transforming into a visage resembling plant roots.

"Finally caught this guy's moment of mental weakness, didn't expect it would still fail————"

The clear scene began to shatter, like a dream bubble.

Tatsumaki merely blanked for an instant, and her spirit instantly returned to her body in the real world.

"Can't hear my words? Forget it; capturing you is too dangerous — once you recover, I'm done for. Better just kill you directly."

Seksu raised her hand, psychic power condensing again; Tatsumaki also raised her hand, attempting to condense a psychic barrier, but the incessant surging dizziness in her head prevented her from focusing her spirit, and thus her psychic power could not coalesce.

【In a critical situation, no one will come save me, huh? Looks like this time I'm going to die————】

Tatsumaki wasn't particularly afraid of death, only————

【My little sister is so weak; she still needs my protection. If I die, who will protect her when she encounters danger in the future?】

Thinking of this, Tatsumaki roared inwardly.

【My spirit, focus for me! My psychic power, get moving for me!】

Unfortunately, this state of anger flaring up only brought Tatsumaki even more intense dizziness.

"Die."

A psychic projectile was fired by Seksu; Tatsumaki suddenly felt her vision blur, a familiar scene — a tall figure appeared before her.

Blast———— no, not Blast, but the one who often delivers three meals a day, the S-Class Hero subordinate under her little sister.

"Broly, why are you here?"

"I didn't leave originally; are you okay, Sister Tatsumaki?"

"I'm dizzy."

"Mental power overexertion; sleep and you'll be fine."

Broly extended his hand, using healing magic on Tatsumaki while simultaneously pressing the sleep acupoint on her head.

"Don't rub my———— head————"

Tatsumaki spoke haltingly; her injuries were directly healed, and she fell into a deep sleep. Healing magic can restore injuries, but cannot replenish consumed mental power.

Although Broly has methods to replenish Qi, converting Qi into mental power takes time; still not as good as properly sleeping to recover.

Picking up the unconscious Tatsumaki, Broly then turned to look at Seksu watching him warily from behind: "Super Flash?!"

She personally watched the Hero Association people retreat, yet never expected such a troublesome one would still remain here.

"Miss Seksu, let's talk."

"You know me?"

"I only know your name, and that you should be a member of the Monster Association."

"In that case, what do we have to talk about? You're a hero, I'm a monster."

【Damn it, how am I supposed to break this deadlock? This guy in front of me obviously isn't any weaker than Tatsumaki. The trick I used to guarantee Tornado of Terror's complete death hit him in the back, yet it didn't even tear his clothes————】

Seksu had absolutely no intention of engaging in battle. After all, her psychic bullets hit this guy's back, yet couldn't even tear the clothes on his body—how was she supposed to fight?

"I think we can first put aside the prejudices of identity between heroes and monsters, and discuss the possibility of seeking common ground while reserving differences."

Broly weighed his words as he spoke.

The sudden appearance of this new capture target was, honestly, quite unexpected for Broly.

To the extent that when Tatsumaki was just now blown away, he didn't even have time to intervene and stop her.

And the current situation is that this Miss Seksu is a capture target of the hostile alignment.

【What is this guy saying? Monsters and heroes seeking common ground while reserving differences?!】

"Do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course. In fact, although I'm a hero, I also shelter some monsters who are willing to remain friendly and protect world peace."

Seksu:

"

She didn't understand why Flashy Flash wasn't attacking her, but instead wanted to say these things to her.

"What do you mean? You can just say it directly."

However, this didn't obstruct her either; she continued along this person's line of conversation.

"Cough, in that case, I'll speak directly. I've taken a liking to you, I want to pursue you, and I hope you won't continue making an attacking posture."

"Hah?"

Seksu's mouth gaped open, but she suddenly reacted—she wasn't in her Giant Eye form right now, and in Flashy Flash's data, the other party was a lover of beauty.

【So, it was her main body's external beauty that had an attractive effect on this guy?】

【Seksu, Happiness Value increasing】

Seksu's feeling was very subtle, but she also felt a trace of self-satisfaction at her charm as a woman being acknowledged by a powerful guy like Flashy Flash.

"Hmm, you wanting to pursue me isn't impossible, but I hope you can hand over the person in your arms to me."

Seksu's thoughts raced like lightning; after figuring out her value, she pointed at Tatsumaki in Broly's arms and spoke.

Just paying with beauty to win over a powerhouse like Flashy Flash was, for her, a profitable deal.

"Sorry, that probably won't work."

However, Broly directly refused.

"Why?"

Seksu frowned and asked.

"Because Miss Tatsumaki is also a target I'm pursuing."

Broly said seriously.

Seksu: "————"

Good, this guy wants to pursue me, but I'm merely one of the targets he wants to pursue.

For some reason, looking at Broly's serious answering manner, Seksu suddenly felt a bit of an itch in her teeth, an impulse to viciously bite him one mouthful appearing.

However, this is also normal. As the mastermind behind the Monster Association, Seksu absolutely counts as an independent woman. This kind of statement that obviously shows someone two-timing naturally made her feel displeased.

【But, the situation is stronger than the person right now. At this kind of time, it's still better to muddle through first————】

"I see, it was my arrogance. Hmm, I can give you the chance to pursue me, it's just that I have other things to do right now, so————"

The words "I'll leave first" at the end hadn't been spoken yet when the spiral pillar Tatsumaki created suddenly collapsed, and the Monster King, who had been ground into scraps, actually revived again.

Turn back time, push it back to when Homeless Emperor was smashed by Tatsumaki with half a city.

At that time, Homeless Emperor wasn't smashed to death; he was just smashed into the underground depths.

The energy sphere ability bestowed by God protected him well.

But as an ordinary person, his physical quality was really no good.

In a short time, there was simply no way for him to crawl out from underground.

Until Tatsumaki and the Monster King battled, and to completely defeat Orochi, she rolled up the entire city like a rag. Only then was Homeless Emperor rolled up and brought along.

The reason he didn't immediately blast out a passage with energy bullets was mainly because he was afraid of collapsing the surrounding buildings and getting himself killed.

Until he suddenly received a revelation from God, telling him to tunnel in a direction within the ruins. Only then did Homeless Emperor act.

【Truly, I am a child favored by God. Even calling me Child of God would not be an overstatement.】

Thinking thus, Homeless Emperor quickly blasted into a tunnel, and inside saw the Monster King Orochi's defective flesh chunks.

The Monster King's life force far exceeds other monsters. Even if ground into dust, every defective part of his flesh can still stay alive for a short time.

And if there is sufficient nutrition to supplement, he can regenerate and recover like a planarian.

His flesh cells were searching for supplemental nutrition underground.

And suddenly encountering Homeless Emperor who blasted through the tunnel and entered, the part of flesh in the tunnel naturally treated Homeless Emperor as a target for absorbing nutrition.

Seeing this situation, Homeless Emperor didn't move. Not because he was scared stupid, but because he believed the sphere ability bestowed by God would actively protect him.

But what he didn't expect was that those spheres actually actively dispersed, allowing the Monster King's defective flesh to pounce onto his body.

"What's going on? I'm the Child of God, how could I possibly die here————"

These were the last words Homeless Emperor left before being completely devoured by the Monster King's flesh.

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

And the Monster King who had devoured the Homeless Emperor didn't fare much better either; through the Homeless Emperor's consciousness connection, he reached a certain Unknown Space, but in this space he saw the Existence located within.

"Who am I? Naturally, I am your master. Come, accept the bestowal of my power, my Imperfect Body that has not yet Evolved To perfection."

The Monster King's consciousness was directly crushed, the God occupied his body, and with the infusion of the God's power, the Monster King's Defective body also Rapidly Recovered.

"Although it is not a perfect Descent, it is enough for me to do some things. Blast, when you come looking, I will give you a surprise. For now, let's first go out and Devour Life, Perfect Body————"

"Orochi, you're actually not dead?!"

Seeing the Monster King revive, Seksu was surprised and delighted.

"Quick, join forces with me, Solve the two guys on This Side."

The thought of Retreat was thrown to the back of her mind by her; Seksu completely didn't avoid Broly being at the Side, Flying Over towards the Monster King's Direction while shouting at the Monster King Orochi.

Hearing this, Broly sighed in his heart: 【Truly, a Hostile Capture target is not so easily persuaded.】

Mm, must Force Subdue; just how to gauge the force of beating the other party, however, requires careful consideration.

For Example, the Monster King striding over now, and Seksu are acquainted; Broly regarding whether to beat the other party to death......

Has some Hesitation.

"Seksu, no problem, only, you must first become a part of me."

The Flying Over Seksu was directly Wrap Body by the Monster King's Meat Tendrils.

"You guy, want to Absorb me?"

Seksu Realized things were bad, quickly using Psychic Struggle.

"Don't do futile Struggle; become a part of me, Turn Into my power!"

However, an absolutely not Belong to Monster King Orochi powerful will instantly Crush Consciousness her Mental Power.

"You, you're not Orochi, who exactly are you?"

Seksu asked in shock.

"I am the Existence that bestows your destiny; I am the supreme God; you may Address me as God Orochi, and after Absorbing you in, can change the Address again, For Example, Psykos Serpent."

Seksu widened her eyes, but was somewhat Despair; the God's will was not something she could resist; she did futile resistance while Angrily shouting: "It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this; I am the one who will become the supreme Existence, not become a part of some supreme Existence's Body————

"

"There is no Difference, Seksu, become mine————"

Words not yet Finish, Broly's figure arrived This Side, Finger Sword directly Tear Tendrils.

While Despair Expression still hung on Seksu's face, Broly embraced this guy's waist, Pulled Out the other party from the God Orochi's Body.

"This wasn't my Arrange, but this should also Count as Heroic Rescue Question?"

Broly Bow Head asked Seksu; Seksu stared blankly at him, seemingly No Reaction.

"Heroic Rescue? No Meaning, because you will also become a part of me————"

God Orochi's speed was very fast; after Seksu was rescued, rapidly chased over.

He Body Transformation into a collective of Countless Meat Tendrils, directly Pounced towards Broly.
