Chapter 393

"Jenos, Luo En, are you interested? Want to sign up together and take a look?"

Jenos shook his head: "No, teacher, I won't bother—I seek ultimate destructive power, not martial arts."

Luo En: "I'm not interested either, but if you join, I'll go watch."

"Is that so…"

By the time the three left the dojo, Bangku had not yet returned.

They walked along the road back to Z City's wasteland.

Kingyu still held the registration form, pondering which style to write—Bubble Carbon Fist, or Carbon Bubble Fist?

Luo En looked at Jenos: "I heard you fought Sweet Mask?"

Jenos nodded.

"Who won?"

"Draw."

Jenos clenched his fist and growled:

"He's stronger than I thought, but if it were a life-or-death fight, he'd be dead for sure."

Luo En said nothing more.

After reaching the wasteland, Kingyu invited Luo En to his place to hang out and play games.

But Luo En refused.

"I have somewhere I want to go today."

"Is that so… then next time."

"Mm."

After parting ways with Kingyu and the others,

Luo En didn't walk far.

He stamped his foot and rose swiftly.

To a hundred meters above ground.

Luo En looked down at the wasteland stretching across an entire street, his heterochromatic vertical pupils glowing with strange light.

Kenbunshoku Haki spread continuously downward.

In a few instants,

it reached beneath the earth.

Wang Dashe, the Monster King beneath the wasteland, and Sykes, the true form of Dajiongyan, both sensed it at once.

Sykes immediately paled, rising from the sofa.

"Who's spying?!"

Monster Association, making its appearance!

"So this is the Monster Association?"

Luo En's lips curled slightly.

"What's the point of hiding?"

He reached out and clenched his hand, condensing blood qi into a crimson longsword shaped like autumn water.

He swung it casually downward.

Several thin, hair-thin crimson slashes flashed across the sky and plunged into the ground.

Boom—boom—boom—boom!

The earth trembled.

Four straight, ruler-straight fissures split the entire wasteland from the rest of Z City.

In Luo En's heterochromatic pupils, golden divine light flickered; his left hand clutched downward, unleashing the third-stage power of the Pawa Pawa Fruit!

"Come out."

As the words left his lips,

the earth shook.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar like the earth itself crying out,

the entire wasteland began to detach from the ground and float upward.

In Kingyu's house,

the shaking caused the lights to suddenly go out.

Kingyu, lying on his side watching TV, frowned in confusion.

"Huh? Earthquake?"

Jenos's expression hardened slightly.

Was this really an earthquake?

Intense tremors spread from the wasteland into Z City.

Citizens of Z City all assumed it was an earthquake and rushed out of their homes.

"W-what is that?!"

One man cried out in terror.

Others followed his pointing finger.

There, the wasteland's entire stretch of streets and land was floating upward into the sky, wider at the top, narrower at the bottom, like an inverted mountain.

Beneath the twilight,

a landmass like an island slowly rose.

This scene was simply unbelievable.

All citizens who witnessed this were stunned into silence.

"Am I… dreaming?"

The Hero Association, upon learning of this, immediately pulled up the footage.

When they saw this image appear on the screen.

Every staff member of the Hero Association was utterly incredulous.

"The no-man's-land… is floating?!"

"What on earth is going on?"

The officer with glasses broke into a cold sweat.

Suddenly.

A massive worm appeared on the screen.

It was a giant centipede thousands of meters long.

It burst forth from a deep pit beneath the ground, soaring upward, its lengthy body writhing toward the floating street.

"It's the Dragon-class monster, Centipede Elder!"

One officer cried out.

"It had been hiding beneath the no-man's-land!"

The middle-aged officer immediately gave orders. "Notify Volcano and all other S-class heroes immediately."

"Yes!"

"Order the people of City Z to evacuate at once."

"Yes!"

And just after the middle-aged officer issued the order.

Another scene on the screen plunged the entire Hero Headquarters into silence.

A beam of crimson sword light descended from the sky.

With unmatched force, it pierced straight through Centipede Elder's head.

But even so,

Centipede Elder did not die.

It writhed, thrashing its thousands-of-meters-long body, its scales trembling, beginning to molt; the massive wound through its head was forcibly squeezed shut and healed.

And the instant it completed its molt and healed its wound,

Another sword qi descended from the sky.
