Chapter 224: Trading with God!

One Punch Man world.

After Mumen Rider and Garou woke up, they were thrown into a special room by Chu Yang.

The surrounding walls, floor tiles, and ceiling were all made of the highest-strength metal, fully capable of withstanding the battle of S-Class heroes.

This was a room Chu Yang prepared specifically for them.

Fighting!

Constant fighting! Chu Yang wanted to stimulate their potential to the greatest extent.

In the constant fighting, Garou felt Mumen Rider's growth, thereby understanding that Chu Yang was using himself as a whetstone.

While angry, he couldn't help but feel curious about the reason for Mumen Rider's strengthening. It was impossible for a person to become stronger for no reason.

High-intensity fighting was only an indirect cause. Garou knew that talent is destined from birth, and no matter how hard one tries afterwards, one will not exceed the scope of what talent can reach.

Mumen Rider is not a genius. He confirmed this fact from the first time he met the other party.

It was Chu Yang who turned him into a genius!

Garou really wanted to question how that annoying bastard did it.

Why could he change a person's talent without "monsterization"? Unfortunately...

Chu Yang didn't give Garou a chance at all. After the battle, he would always knock him out and throw him into the laboratory.

As Mumen Rider became visibly stronger, even if Chu Yang didn't take action, the number of times Garou could stay awake until the end became fewer and fewer.

Interestingly, the trend of Garou's "monsterization" was also decreasing rapidly.

After seeing Mumen Rider break his limits with his own eyes, Garou's heart fluctuated. The speed at which the other party became stronger exceeded his imagination.

After hesitating again and again, Garou found Chu Yang and asked, "What is the secret of Mumen Rider's strengthening?"

Chu Yang didn't hide it but said straight to the point, "He broke the limiter."

"Limiter?" Garou looked at Chu Yang in confusion.

Chu Yang had no choice but to call Dr. Genus to explain the concept of the limiter to him.

Why call Dr. Genus? Because Garou was too stupid.

His talent in martial arts was inversely proportional to his IQ. If he wanted to understand this concept, he had to use easy-to-understand terms to explain it.

Dr. Genus was better at this kind of thing because his original subordinates had an IQ about as high as Garou's.

Dr. Genus, who put down his experiment, appeared very impatient but still tried his best to explain. However, Garou still didn't quite understand.

He only heard one key point.

"He conducted some kind of experiment here with you, and then he had the qualification to become stronger!"

"What kind of experiment is that?"

Garou's tone was very urgent, continuously questioning Chu Yang.

"Do you also want to become an experimental subject?"

Chu Yang looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes revealing playfulness.

Garou was very angry at such eyes. If possible, he wanted to punch and explode this man's head.

"What price do I need to pay to become an experimental subject?"

Garou was not a child and wouldn't think there was a free lunch in the world.

"No price needs to be paid..." Chu Yang shook his head and said indifferently, "Because you don't have that qualification."

Hearing this, Garou was furious. In a state where his reason had left, he attacked Chu Yang, and the result was another beating, lying in the infirmary.

Chu Yang said he didn't have the qualification, not to insult him on purpose, but to state a fact.

Breaking the limiter not only requires Saitama's lineage factors, but the will one possesses is also a key condition.

Only when both body and spirit meet the standard is there a certain probability of triggering the special substance hidden in Saitama's lineage factors.

As long as this special substance is extracted, one can bypass the hard requirement of will to break the limiter.

Garou's perseverance is indeed tougher than most people, but it is still a notch worse than Saitama and Mumen Rider.

The strength of these two people's hearts is hard to describe in words.

If Garou and Mumen Rider's experiences were swapped, whether Garou could stand in front of the Deep Sea King with a weak body is a big question mark.

People like Mumen Rider are ultimately just a minority.

Chu Yang could certainly transplant Saitama's lineage factors for Garou, but the result is certain.

He would not gain Saitama's power and would not be able to break the limiter.

The outcome would either be death, or nothing would happen at all.

It was four days later when Garou came out of the infirmary again. He found Chu Yang and asked another question.

"Are you so powerful because you broke the limiter?"

"No, I am seeking a way to break the limiter."

After getting the answer, Garou's expression became very complicated.

Being so powerful without breaking the limiter meant that Chu Yang's talent was originally very high.

Neither of them broke the limiter, yet the gap in strength was like a chasm.

From this day on, Garou seemed to have become a different person, gradually becoming less arrogant and becoming incomparably silent.

His battles with Mumen Rider began to end in draws more often, and he no longer dealt lethal blows. That innate sharpness slowly became invisible.

But Mumen Rider, as his opponent, could feel that Garou was suppressing his emotions, like a volcano about to erupt.

On the other hand, Mumen Rider's strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, already reaching the upper level of S-Class, but he himself hadn't felt it yet.

Because he had been fighting Garou and there was no one else as a reference, Mumen Rider felt that his biggest change was just that he was not so easily beaten down by Garou.

The laboratory was already piled up with experimental data related to Mumen Rider, and even a separate room was vacated to store the lineage factors extracted from him every day.

Repeated extraction, repeated testing, repeated comparison.

Dr. Genus was almost going crazy, and even Chu Yang was a bit mentally weak.

"I found it!"

Dr. Genus jumped up in front of the analyzer, laughing maniacally.

"I found that substance!"

The excited Dr. Genus tremblingly held a small tube of pale golden liquid with his fingers.

Chu Yang walked over, took the test tube from his hand, and looked at it carefully. Except for the color, this tube of liquid was no different from other lineage factor reagents.

"Sir, this is the key! The key to breaking the limiter!"

Dr. Genus held the bottom of the test tube with both hands, his eyes hot and blurred, as if looking at the most exquisite work of art in the world.

Chu Yang just wanted to say something when he suddenly felt someone peeking here. The Conqueror's Haki poured out immediately.

Consciousness collided with consciousness! "Eh?!"

A surprised and uncertain voice rang in his mind!

The person peeking here didn't seem to expect to encounter such a powerful resistance at Chu Yang's place.

And at the moment of contact, Chu Yang knew the identity of this person.

"God!"

Chu Yang directly put the mysterious substance into the Soul Palace and then used Conqueror's Haki to shatter the other party's sparse spiritual power.

The feeling of being peeked at disappeared immediately. "He felt the existence of the mysterious substance..."

Chu Yang sighed. He didn't expect God to feel the mysterious substance. This was truly an unexpected thing.

It is estimated that it won't be long before the other party comes to the door.

At the entrance of the laboratory, a figure flashed by.

"Release the Iron Mechanical Legion and be on alert for the surroundings 24 hours a day."

Chu Yang didn't want the other party to appear silently at the House of Evolution and cause massive destruction. This place condensed too much of his hard work.

When he built the production line here, it was also to guard against this day.

Dr. Genus nodded and immediately operated on the computer. Just from this sentence, he understood the seriousness of the matter.

A moment later, Chu Yang called Bang, Saitama, and others to explain the situation.

"A strong enemy might come to the door recently. I have already scattered the robots. You must be careful."

Bang muttered in his heart that an enemy that could make Chu Yang cautious must be very powerful.

Regarding God's strength, Chu Yang couldn't make a rash judgment. The only thing that could be determined was that the other party had not broken the limiter.

He might be the same as Chu Yang, belonging to the type with a high ceiling, and could be as powerful as a god without breaking the limiter.

God is full of malice towards humans but has been slow to take action against humans personally, instead destroying humans by bestowing power on monsters.

Why this is the case, Chu Yang doesn't know either. Perhaps it is some kind of bad taste.

Thinking of monsters, Chu Yang's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked Bang about the result of the last battle between the Hero Association and the Monster Association.

Because the plot was changed, Tatsumaki, Saitama, Genos, and others did not participate in that battle but met Elder Centipede at the House of Evolution.

Bang and Bomb fought Garou and brought him to the House of Evolution, so they didn't participate in the war either.

"Not clear." Bang shook his head, "I didn't participate in the last conscription, and I have been practicing here at the master's place, so my contact with the Hero Association has become less."

Chu Yang frowned, "Is it that they don't contact you?"

Bang thought for a moment and nodded, "You could say that. If it were before, I guess they would have arranged tasks for me long ago."

Chu Yang probably understood where the problem lay and sneered, "Those guys are really stingy. You are close to me, so they want to draw a line with you."

Sonic leaned against the wall in the corner and said listlessly, "We snatched a lot of monster corpses. It's normal for the Hero Association not to like us, right?"

"They haven't organized people to attack the House of Evolution, which can be considered as holding their breath."

Bang shook his head, "That's not because they are holding their breath. The Hero Association won't do things without benefits. Attacking the House of Evolution is thankless for them."

Chu Yang turned to look at Saitama, "Do you and Genos have any tasks recently?"

Saitama scratched his bald head and showed an innocent, dull expression, "I don't have any. Genos goes out often."

Sonic said helplessly, "Master, you are asking a C-Class hero in vain. How would they know about the big events of the Hero Association."

Mia reminded in a low voice, "Miss Tatsumaki seems to have not come for a while."

If Mia hadn't reminded him, Chu Yang wouldn't have noticed this at all. Whether Tatsumaki came or not, he was soaking in the laboratory.

"Tatsumaki didn't come..."

Chu Yang had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that the Hero Association lost?

"Master, why don't I go and communicate with the Hero Association to see what happened."

Seeing that Chu Yang's expression was not good, Bang immediately suggested.

"No need. If they really lost, then we'll just wait for the guests to come to the door."

Chu Yang looked helpless.

He originally thought he had to guard against God, but he didn't expect he would have to guard against the Monster Association as well.

"Damn it, if you want to fight, fight outside. Don't break my laboratory..."

After careful consideration, Chu Yang decided to add more barriers to protect the surroundings of the laboratory. Although the strength might not be enough, it was better than nothing.

Saitama stood by and listened for a long time without understanding what Chu Yang was saying, so he asked, "Who is going to fight?"

Sonic rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Where did your brain go? Haven't you understood what Master is saying yet?"

"Didn't you see that Elder Centipede last time? That guy is from the Monster Association. They are coming to attack the House of Evolution."

Speaking of Elder Centipede, Saitama suddenly had an impression. He did a squat on the spot and said confidently, "Yang, don't worry. If they dare to come, I will solve them."

Having finally found a place that provides water, electricity, and three meals a day for a long time, and can play games every day, how could Saitama let others destroy it?

Hearing that Saitama was going to take action, Chu Yang hurriedly stopped him, "You just stay in the room and play your games, don't go out!"

Saitama looked at him in confusion.

Chu Yang said helplessly, "Do you know which direction my laboratory is in?"

Saitama confidently pointed in the completely opposite direction.

Chu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Just listen to me, stay in the room and play games with King."

This fool didn't even know which side the laboratory was on. With one punch, even if it just grazed the edge, the barriers Chu Yang set up would instantly become meaningless.

"I always feel like you are looking down on me." Saitama squinted at Chu Yang, a bit unhappy.

"If you accidentally break something, the House of Evolution will have to have a power outage for at least a week."

"That means you won't have games to play for a week."

Chu Yang changed to a way of speaking that Saitama could understand.

Saitama suddenly realized and understood Chu Yang's good intentions, so he promised not to take action unless necessary.

After arranging Saitama, there was basically nothing to pay attention to. The strength of the Monster Association was not that strong.

What needed attention were just Orochi, Psykos, and Homeless Emperor.

Among them, Homeless Emperor was special. He was a direct creation of "God." He was originally an ordinary homeless man. One day he received a gift from "God" and gained powerful "Light Power."

The attack move was a bit similar to "Kizaru" in the Pirate world, but the combat consciousness was far worse than the other party.

Essentially, he was just a homeless man. Even if he gained powerful strength, he still hadn't changed.

Just when Chu Yang was busy reinforcing the barriers to protect the laboratory, Garou quietly left the House of Evolution.

He saw what happened in the laboratory and also heard the God in Chu Yang's mouth.

Thinking of Mumen Rider becoming stronger day by day, even surpassing himself, Garou felt unbearable.

"I will be qualified..."

Garou walked to an uninhabited wilderness. It was late at night, and the bright moon hung high in the vast starry sky.

He spread his arms, as if embracing this starry sky, his face hideous, and his eyes gradually became fanatical.

"If you really exist, then make me more powerful than I am now!"

"As a transaction, I will also satisfy your wish!"

"God!"

Garou shouted hysterically.

The surroundings fell into silence.

The bright moon in the sky suddenly grew pupils.

Staring fixedly at Garou!
