Chapter 346

Luo En gazed at Kiyoshi and Genos over there, thinking to himself: "With my current strength, what level could I reach in this world?"

"There must be plenty of formidable opponents worth fighting here…"

As this thought surfaced in his mind, Luo En—who had never truly fought in the Demon Slayer world—suddenly felt his fingers twitch, his various powers stirring within him, eager for a full-out battle.

Just as he was lost in thought.

Genos obliterated billions of mosquitoes with a single blast.

The evolved Mosquito Woman teleported behind him and slashed across his abdomen, nearly cutting his mechanical body in half.

Genos countered with a reverse strike.

The Mosquito Woman instantly dodged, then swept her blade—Genos's eyeball was instantly scraped out.

Luo En flashed forward, using the power of his Reincarnation Eye to teleport onto the rooftop near the street, watching up close as the battle turned utterly one-sided.

"There's no chance of winning anymore…"

"I'll have to self-destruct. Sorry, Doctor…"

Just as Genos's body was shattered beyond repair and he was utterly cornered, about to self-destruct.

Kiyoshi, now completely naked from Genos's earlier attack, slapped the Mosquito Woman across the face.

Thwack.

The Mosquito Woman, still unaware of what had happened, was instantly reduced to a spray of blood mist.

"Finally landed one."

Kiyoshi grinned, hands on his hips, looking satisfied.

"Mosquitoes are such a nuisance."

"…!!"

Genos, cut in half, lay on the ground, stunned.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

On the rooftop nearby, Luo En pinched his chin and stared at Kiyoshi, murmuring: "Pure physical strength reaching this level? It's absurdly overpowered—no wonder he's the Bald Demon King…"

The Mosquito Woman was weak, even after evolution.

Luo En could crush her with a single casual punch—she was utterly unfit to measure Kiyoshi's power.

Luo En's current Blood Qi exceeds five thousand points; without considering other powers, a single punch fueled purely by Blood Qi could shatter a hundred-meter-tall mountain.

Yet Kiyoshi, relying solely on physical strength, can shatter meteors and blow entire mountain ranges away with his punch pressure—such physical power, if converted into Blood Qi points, would be an unimaginably terrifying number.

Kiyoshi, as if sensing someone watching him, turned his head toward Luo En—but saw nothing, only empty air.

Kiyoshi scratched his smooth, gleaming bald head in confusion.

"I definitely felt someone peeking at me… was it my imagination?"

"Ah, whatever."

He turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Genos, lying on the ground, shouted.

Kiyoshi turned back, puzzled.

"Huh? What else do you want?"

"I'm a robot who fights for justice alone. My name is Genos. Please tell me your true name!"

"Huh? I'm Kiyoshi."

"Mr. Kiyoshi, take me as your disciple!!"

"…Huh?"

A second before Kiyoshi moved, Luo En, forewarned by his Observation Haki, vanished instantly.

…………

Luo En, dressed like an ancient man, strolled calmly down the deserted streets of City Z.

Why had he left just now?

Luo En knew clearly inside.

Having gone too long without a truly even fight, he instinctively craved battle—if he appeared before Kiyoshi now, he might lose control and challenge him.

Of course, the outcome would be an inevitable defeat.

He would fight Kiyoshi—but not now.

Before facing the Bald Demon King, he must first elevate his strength to its peak.

To do that, he needs battle.

Whether against heroes or monsters…

Fortunately, this world holds many formidable opponents worth fighting.

Thinking of this, Luo En's eyes brightened, his Blood Qi beginning to boil.

His blue eyes swept the surroundings, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"Where should I go first…"

2, too light

"According to reliable reports, the Demon-level disaster in City Z has been eliminated."

The alarm triggered by the Mosquito Woman was lifted at dusk; the people of City Z gradually opened their doors, shops reopened.

Even in this world teeming with monsters, ordinary people carried on with their daily lives as usual.

In an alleyway.

A hairy, ball-like monster appeared before two children.

"Jie jie jie, my name is Fuzzy Monster—lucky for you two brats to meet me! Turn into fluffy dolls right now!"

Just as it was about to strike the two children with terrified faces.

The temperature around it plummeted.

A cold, ice-blue mist appeared around the Fuzzy Monster.

"So, so cold! This, what is this…"

Before the Fuzzy Monster could finish speaking, it was frozen into an ice statue, then shattered abruptly under the stunned gaze of the two children.

Luo En walked past beside the street outside the alley, eating an ice pop.

He had changed into casual clothes indistinguishable from ordinary people—black athletic pants and a white short-sleeve shirt—and his hair had been cut short, making him look refreshingly crisp and sharp.

As a result, he drew many glances from women along the street.

"Hey, look at that guy—he's so hot."

"Really? Is he some kind of idol?"

"So tall, such great aura—he even looks hotter than Sweet Mask…"

A beautiful young woman rested her chin on her hand, gazing dreamily at Luo En's retreating back as he passed by.

After walking out of this street,

Luo En now wore a baseball cap on his head.

…

Night.

Inside a high-end restaurant in Z City.

Luo En enjoyed his meal in a private dining room, the table piled high with dishes.

He ate while using his computer to learn about the Hero Association and heroes of all ranks.

The appearance of Mosquito Woman means the One Punch Man world's story has just begun.

Next should be the Evolution Home arc.

Luo En shoved a piece of steak into his mouth, chewing as a thoughtful expression crossed his face.

Evolution Home has a pretty strong rhinoceros beetle.

I might as well go fight it first.

…………

The next day.

Luo En activated his Observation Haki to its maximum range, located the Armored Gorilla of Evolution Home somewhere in Z City, and immediately appeared before it.

"You're the Armored Gorilla, right?"
