Chapter 194: How Can a Warrior Who Built His Muscles Through Drug Injections Compare to a Mage Who Manipulates Space?

The Evolution House, laboratory.

Dr. Genos was fiddling with a pile of instruments.

Suddenly, the floor split open without warning, and a mole-like monster scrambled out from underground, disheveled.

Dr. Genos jolted violently, nearly dropping the experimental equipment in his hand.

“Tulong, Itachi’ve broken the floor again.”

Dr. Genos glared furiously and shouted loudly.

But Tulong looked panicked, stammering: “The… the Beast King was punched to death by that man.”

“He got the base’s location from the Armored Gorilla and is heading this way.”

Upon hearing this, Dr. Genos froze for a moment.

“Didn’t expect him to be this strong.”

When he learned the man was coming straight for the base, Dr. Genos curled his lips into a chilling smile.

“Good.”

His strongest combatant, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, had never fully evolved and was kept imprisoned deep within the base.

He had previously worried about how to deal with a powerhouse like Luo Jie—now Luo Jie had come to him willingly, a gift from heaven.

He could use Asura Rhinoceros Beetle to capture him.

At that moment, a piercing alarm blared through the room.

Dr. Genos spun around swiftly and activated the surveillance footage.

On screen, Luo Jie entered boldly, accompanied by the Armored Gorilla.

Several pitch-black Chibaku Tensei orbs flew wildly throughout the base.

Wherever they touched—whether solid doors or thick walls—they instantly shattered into dust.

Dr. Genos stared at the Armored Gorilla on the monitor, gritting his teeth in rage: “Damn traitor.”

Suddenly, his expression shifted—he seemed to sense something, and his face softened:

“That direction is where the Rhinoceros Beetle Asura is imprisoned.”

“Good. The Armored Gorilla is still loyal.”

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Guided by the Armored Gorilla, Luo Jie arrived before a laboratory.

Along the way, the Chibaku Tensei orbs had cleared all defenses as if they were paper.

With another thunderous crash, a Chibaku Tensei orb shattered the heavy door ahead.

Immediately after, a massive, rhinoceros-beetle-like monster stepped slowly out from behind the door.

His body was covered in hardened armor, muscles bulging violently, his face twisted in a wild, arrogant grin.

It was Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, slain by Saitama’s Saturday Special Punch.

Asura Rhinoceros Beetle spotted Luo Jie, his eyes blazing with malice. Without a word, he raised his right arm high and slammed it down toward Luo Jie.

Facing this furious attack, Luo Jie remained calm.

In an instant, his right arm split open, revealing countless missile launch ports.

A barrage of missiles rained down upon Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, howling with deafening force.

This was the power of the Asura Path.

Seeing this, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle reacted instantly, crossing his arms over his chest to shield his vital areas with his hardened armor.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of violent explosions followed.

Flames shot skyward, smoke engulfed everything, completely obscuring Asura Rhinoceros Beetle’s figure.

Yet he burst forth from the fire and smoke.

Closer inspection revealed only minor cracks in his armor—his massive frame still radiated overwhelming pressure, his aura unchanged.

Just as Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was about to reach Luo Jie, Luo Jie’s forehead slowly split open, revealing a blood-red Rinnegan Sharingan.

He was struck by an unprecedented terror—a trembling deep within his soul.

Asura Rhinoceros Beetle instantly unleashed all his power, retreating rapidly backward, his eyes locked on Luo Jie, filled with wariness.

After a moment, seeing Luo Jie make no further move, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle began to doubt himself.

Had it just been an illusion?

The thought of having been frightened into such a state filled him with shame and fury.

In a rage, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle activated his Asura Mode.

His armor cracked and fell away; his muscles swelled visibly, his body growing another full size.

His skin darkened to deep purple, threaded with green veins like glowing lines.

It was less Asura Mode than it was Unit-01 Mode.

He looked like Unit-01 after a drug overdose.

Yet Luo Jie merely raised his hand and waved it lightly.

In an instant, space tore open—Asura Rhinoceros Beetle vanished, banished by Luo Jie into another realm woven by Tenchi Muyo.

How could a warrior who built his muscles through drug injections possibly compare to a mage who manipulated space?

At the same time, Dr. Genos stared at the screen, eyes bulging, face filled with shock.

His prized Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had vanished into thin air—as if he had never existed.

“My giant monster?”

“Where did he go?”

“How did he disappear?”

As he stood helplessly bewildered, Luo Jie on the monitor seemed to sense something—he slowly lifted his head, gazing directly into the camera.

That gaze felt as if it pierced through the screen, locking eyes with Dr. Genos.

Though reason told Dr. Genos that Luo Jie was merely looking at the camera,

in that instant, he still shuddered involuntarily.

Unfortunately, his intuition was right.

The next moment, Luo Jie followed the network cable straight to his door.

A pitch-black Chibaku Tensei orb drifted effortlessly through layers of barriers and into the surveillance room.

Before Dr. Genos could recover, Luo Jie’s figure appeared before him.

Dr. Genos startled, instinctively shrinking back.

But soon, the panic on his face faded.

After all, as the founder of the Evolution House, the genius scientist who had created Dragon-class monsters and S-class heroes, he had his own trump cards.

For instance, his clones—his greatest reliance.

Luo Jie glanced at Dr. Genos and spoke: “Two demands.”

“First, hand over Mosquito Woman. She’s my spoils of war.”

“Second, become my dog.”

At these words, Dr. Genos’s face turned ghastly.

One moment pale, the next flushed red.

Mosquito Woman was nothing—a half-finished product; giving her to Luo Jie didn’t matter.

But to become Luo Jie’s dog…

This was utter humiliation!

Even if Luo Jie’s power terrified him beyond imagination, Dr. Genos still believed his countless clones would protect him.

Dr. Genos forced down his rage, twisting his lips into a cold sneer: “Aren’t Itachi being a little too arrogant?”

At that moment, Luo Jie formed a hand seal.

The Heavenly Immortal Technique: Nail Head Seven Arrow.

Almost simultaneously, across the Supercontinent, every one of Dr. Genos’s clones stiffened without warning and collapsed, lifeless.

As a curse technique, Nail Head Seven Arrow was extremely complex when used against opponents of equal strength.

It required preparing a bow and arrows, crafting a straw effigy, forging the Seven Arrow Scripture, and maintaining continuous ritual for days—any mistake would cause failure.

Even if successful, it risked backlash.

That was why Luo Jie rarely used it.

But against an ordinary man like Dr. Genos, it became simple.

Luo Jie needed only to cast it casually for the curse to take effect.

How many clones came, how many died—none escaped.

After Dr. Genos’s clones died.

Certain instruments in the room began flashing wildly, their alarms shrieking.

He instinctively looked at them—his face turned ashen.

The confidence he’d clung to, relying on his clones to turn the tide, was now utterly devoured by terror.

Luo Jie’s expression remained calm as he asked simply: “How about now?”

Dr. Genos’s body trembled with rage, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white.

He walked step by step toward Luo Jie.

Suddenly, he bowed with perfect smoothness and shouted loudly: “Anko ni simimasai.”
