Chapter 198: Upgrade to Version 2.0: The Invincible Myth

City J, Seaside Beach.

The air shimmered with salty, scorching heat; sun umbrellas spread across the sand like colorful mushrooms.

Girls in bikinis drew particular attention.

Beneath their rounded shoulders and necks, crisscrossed straps traced full curves, confined within palm-sized fabric.

Occasionally, scenes of half-unbuttoned swimsuits and sunscreen application unfolded.

Perhaps due to the world’s rules, it was rare to see flat-chested girls like certain S-Class heroes; the entire beach was filled with ample bosoms and rounded hips.

At that moment, a sudden scream pierced the noise.

The crowd turned toward the sound and saw the once-blue sea suddenly churn like boiling water, a stench of rotting seafood rushing toward them.

The Deep Sea King emerged from the depths, leading a horde of seafood.

King crabs, golden squid, deep-sea salmon—all were there.

The seafood from dinner tables had risen in rebellion.

Seeing these strange figures, the crowd erupted in waves of screams.

Sun umbrellas were knocked over by panicked people; sunscreen and sunglasses scattered across the ground.

A beautiful, busty girl, seeing the Deep Sea King so close, turned pale and collapsed onto the sand.

On the streets, alarm sirens blared shrilly.

Many heroes arrived at the scene.

Yet their attacks proved ineffective against these deep-sea creatures.

Even though the Deep Sea King’s subordinates couldn’t match the old gods of Bikini Bottom.

They still possessed overwhelming power over ordinary heroes of the Hero Association.

The Deep Sea King stormed into the city, looking down at the heroes collapsed among the ruins, his mouth splitting ear to ear, revealing a full set of serrated fangs:

“Humans, it’s time Itachi were served on a dinner table.”

Before he finished speaking, the S-Class hero Sexy Prisoner roared forward, his pale muscles gleaming under the sun, his fist smashing through the air toward the Deep Sea King’s face.

The Deep Sea King sneered, muscles tensing; as he sidestepped the blow, his palm whipped out like an iron whip.

Sexy Prisoner grunted and flew backward, his back shattering a convenience store sign before crashing onto the road.

“Too weak. The weak belong as food; only the strong stand atop the food chain.”

As he mocked, the Deep Sea King strode toward Sexy Prisoner.

“Don’t underestimate humans.”

Sexy Prisoner wiped blood from his lip, veins bulging in his neck.

Angel Transformation!

With a sharp rip of tearing fabric, Sexy Prisoner exploded out of his clothes, his muscular body glowing with holy light.

“No one who has seen my angel form has ever escaped.”

The Deep Sea King’s pupils shrank; his mocking expression twisted into revulsion.

Even as a monster, the sight was so grotesque it made him feel nauseated.

“What a disgusting meal!”

But Sexy Prisoner was already upon him, fists raining down like a storm.

The Deep Sea King crossed his arms to block; the ground cracked violently under the impact.

“Speed means nothing—your strength is too weak.”

The Deep Sea King suddenly snarled, unleashing a punch packed with full force straight into Sexy Prisoner’s abdomen.

Sexy Prisoner’s abdomen was pierced through; his entire body was flung backward.

He could not rise again.

Perhaps disgusted, the Deep Sea King shook his blood-splattered arm as if he’d touched something filthy, his face twisted in revulsion.

At that moment, a blue light slashed across the sky as Genos plummeted from above.

After being modified by Rojie’s Shura Path ability and enhanced with Stark Industries technology from the Marvel world.

Genos had been upgraded to Version 2.0.

Evolved from the Unbeaten Legend into the Invincible Myth.

Electric arcs swirled around him; his newly installed weapons gleamed with cold metallic luster; his rear thrusters emitted streams of orange-yellow particles.

Before landing, Genos’s chest reactor flared brightly—a bolt of electricity, as thick as a bowl’s rim, tore through the air and struck straight for the Deep Sea King’s face.

The Deep Sea King had just been about to hurl a bus at the crowd; sensing danger, he recoiled sharply backward.

The electric beam grazed his chest, blasting the wall of a shop behind him to rubble.

“Another annoying fly.”

The Deep Sea King sneered and hurled the bus at Genos.

Genos dodged, and a row of micro-missiles popped out from his shoulder.

The missiles, trailing smoke, surged forward and slammed into the Deep Sea King.

Amid the explosion’s firelight, Genos closed in, his reinforced mechanical fist smashing toward the Deep Sea King with a sonic boom.

The Deep Sea King crossed his arms to block; the ground cracked violently under the shockwave.

Genos used the recoil to leap skyward, his chest reactor flaring again—a second electric beam pierced straight through the Deep Sea King’s chest.

Yet the Deep Sea King’s regeneration far exceeded expectations; black-green slime oozed from the wound and sealed it instantly.

At that moment, a rapid bicycle bell rang from afar.

The Unlicensed Rider, drenched in sweat, wore his green helmet crookedly on his head.

He pedaled forward.

“I’ll help Itachi!”

“Eight Gates Released!”

The next instant, the Unlicensed Rider erupted with green energy, leaping from his bicycle and delivering a flying punch to the Deep Sea King’s back, fueled by momentum.

“Together!”

Genos fully activated his rear thrusters, forming a pincer attack with the Unlicensed Rider.

The Deep Sea King, caught between two foes and suffering discomfort on land without rain, entered his shriveled mode.

He couldn’t hold out for ten minutes.

“Impossible…” The Deep Sea King rasped a hoarse roar.

Genos seized the opportunity; his chest reactor blazed with blinding white light.

Amid a thunderous roar, the Deep Sea King’s body was swallowed by an energy torrent.

The stench of charred flesh filled the air; the Deep Sea King had been turned into charcoal-grilled seafood.

As the Deep Sea King’s charred corpse collapsed with a crash,

Applause echoed from afar.

Genos looked and cried out in delight: “Senior Rojie!”

There stood Rojie, wearing sunglasses and beach shorts, beside him the Mosquito Woman in a bikini sipping a coconut happily.

“Not bad. Your coordination is impressive.”

Rojie walked over with a smile and kicked the Deep Sea King’s charred remains.

After the meteor strike, he knew the Deep Sea King would attack City J.

So Rojie had specifically brought the Mosquito Woman to City J for a vacation in advance.

But he hadn’t expected that before he even moved, Genos and the Unlicensed Rider had already finished the battle.

In the original story, Genos was originally evenly matched with the Deep Sea King, but was ambushed and lost an arm, then forced to block acid to protect a little girl, leading to his defeat.

Now, Genos had been upgraded into the Invincible Myth, aided by the Eight Gates version of the Unlicensed Rider.

Beating a Deep Sea King without rain enhancement was effortless.

At that moment, the Unlicensed Rider, upon seeing Rojie, froze in shock: “Itachi!”

Genos turned to his battle companion: “Itachi know Senior Rojie too?”

The Unlicensed Rider nodded: “He taught me the Eight Gates.”

Saying this, the Unlicensed Rider walked to Rojie and bowed deeply in gratitude.

“So that’s it…”

Genos was astonished—he hadn’t realized he was Rojie’s student.
