Kurumi's Spatial Slash; Genos Is Cut in Half / Sakura and Sakuya Return; Heading to the Hero Association
"I hope my old bones won't fall apart this time."
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Bang, who was originally calm, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and his figure turned into an afterimage at an extremely fast speed and came to Tokisaki Kurumi.
As a martial arts master, strictly speaking, the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist style practiced by Bang is not a boxing style that tends to be proactive, but rather a defensive and counterattack style. This can be seen from the battle between Garou, a disciple of Bang, and the S-class hero Tanktop Master in the subsequent Garou chapter.
However, by observing the damage at the scene and the extremely dangerous aura that Tokisaki Kurumi continued to exude, the experienced Bang immediately judged that the enemy in front of him must not be allowed to take the initiative to attack.
However, although Bang moved quickly, Tokisaki Kurumi, who knew Bang's combat style in advance through the original work, moved even faster. The moment Bang approached, Tokisaki Kurumi raised the firearm in his hand and pointed it in front of him.
"Leo Bullet."
Bullets with terrifying power were shot out, and the space they passed through was distorted by its power, and then suddenly exploded between Tokisaki Kurumi and Bang.
Rumble, rumble, rumble--!!!!
The violent Spacequake oscillation swallowed up everything within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area. Although the range was not as wide as the temporary Spacequake Tokisaki Kurumi had released before, its power was countless times stronger.
Fortunately, Bang, who sensed the danger, immediately avoided the attack range with his explosive speed, but Tokisaki Kurumi also took the opportunity to distance himself.
"Burn!"
Genos, who had recovered not far away, saw this and raised his hands. He saw the right moment and released Incineration Cannon with full firepower at Tokisaki Kurumi.
In response, Tokisaki Kurumi just raised the firearm in his hand again and released a shot of Libra Bullet, but this time it was no longer a swap of positions, but a direct reflection of Genos's Incineration Cannon by reversing the effect of cause and effect in the space.
At the same time, Tokisaki Kurumi also waved the saber in his hand. In an instant, a space-cutting slash struck Bang at a speed that was almost impossible to react.
PS: Let me mention here that the Lucifugus of Kurumi written by the author does not only include the version of White Queen in the Gaiden anime, but also incorporates the game version. After all, it is also the setting given by the original author of Date A Live. By the way, there are also some abilities that White Queen has not used but can be reasonably inferred based on the abilities in the original work.
Chapter 280: Space Slash of Kurumi, Genos who was cut in half
The silver-white sword light instantly approached Bang at a speed that was almost impossible to react, and passed through Bang's body without any hindrance.
Suddenly, a scar spread from his right shoulder to his chest appeared on Bang's body, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
On the other side, Genos's figure was almost submerged by the flames again. Fortunately, after having the previous experience, this time Genos was prepared in advance. He moved his legs quickly and dodged the reflected attack. At the same time, his body also approached Tokisaki Kurumi at an extremely fast speed.
"Machine Gun Punch!"
Considering that long-range attacks would be reflected by the enemy in front of him, Genos, who was close to Kurumi's side, punched with both fists, turning into an afterimage and shrouding the opponent.
Such an attack would indeed be a bit threatening if faced with the previous Kurumi. After all, Genos's melee strength is not weak. In the original plot, he could even fight Deep Sea King with one arm at close range even after being upgraded only once, and they were evenly matched in a short period of time.
But it is a pity that under the infusion of An Xiu, Kurumi's physical fitness has been strengthened in all aspects. Even if the ability is removed, physical fitness alone is enough to suppress the ordinary Dragon-level monster. Therefore, facing Genos's close attack, Tokisaki Kurumi, who was in the posture of White Queen, only exerted a slight force on his legs, and the figure disappeared from Genos's sight.
"Target disappears..."
"No, up there!"
Facing this scene, Genos's pupils tightened for a while, and then he suddenly raised his head.
I saw the silver Astronomical Clock appearing behind Kurumi in mid-air, and a huge slash across the space instantly appeared in front of Genos.
Fast, really too fast.
Facing this Space Slash that appeared in front of him instantly, Genos had no time to react. The body transformed from the machine was cut in half and cut into two pieces.
However, after being chopped in half, Genos did not completely lose his fighting power. Instead, he propped up the upper part of his body and continued to raise his hand to aim at Tokisaki Kurumi in mid-air.
"Thirty-five percent power loss, activate backup combat plan."
The front end of the mechanical arm burst out with powerful force. Considering that Incineration Cannon's attack would be reflected, this time Genos chose a more flexible mechanical flying fist.
However, Genos responded with another Space Slash strike. The silver-white slash destroyed the mechanical arm that flew out as well as the power furnace in the remaining upper part of Genos's body behind it.
"Are you careless...?"
As the power furnace was destroyed, Genos's broken mechanical body quickly lost its power, and he could only lie on the ground and watch Tokisaki Kurumi slowly fall from the air.
It was clear that the other party had previously demonstrated a slash that seemed to span space, but he still failed to figure out a way to deal with it in advance, which led to the current failure.
Now, the power furnace has been destroyed, and with the little energy remaining in the body, even the self-destruction program cannot be started, let alone fighting.
There is no doubt that he is at his wits end now.
Peng!
Kurumi, who had just landed, raised his hand and released a spiritual attack on the location of Genos. The generated Clash force directly knocked Genos away, flying upside down and crashing into a building.
Then, Kurumi took another look at the direction of Bang, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual about the other party, he turned around and left the battlefield, flying towards the hotel.
Now that all the incoming heroes have been defeated, Kurumi will naturally return to An Xiu and Jibril who are watching the battle in the hotel, and then leave as soon as possible.
After all, the city Kurumi, An Xiu and Jibril are currently in is City Z, and Bang and Genos have just been defeated.
If you don't leave, do you still have to think about what you will face next?
As the strongest clone, Sakura is not around. Neither An Xiu nor Kurumi is interested in Bald Cape, so it is best to retreat before Saitama arrives on the battlefield.
Is it possible to still expect Kurumi to cut Saitama in half with Space Slash, and let the other party also cosplay Teacher Gojo?
"It's such a powerful slash. If it hadn't been for a fatal purpose from the beginning, I might be in danger now."
On the messy battlefield, Bang, who had been seriously injured, looked at the direction the girl was leaving, and Yunyun said.
The slash across space did not give anyone any time to react or dodge. Fortunately, the opponent seemed to have no killing intention towards him, the young man who was also an S-class hero, and the other heroes present from the beginning to the end.
Otherwise, Hero Association may suffer heavy losses this time.
It's a pity that they didn't figure out the reason why Nightmare appeared in this hotel until the end. The opponent's strength seemed to be stronger than expected from the information provided by the Hero Association.
On the other side, An Xiu, Kurumi and Jibril have appeared again in the no-man's land of City Z. Kurumi has also exited the reverse posture of White Queen and changed back to the appearance of Nightmare.
"Haha, I wonder if Master is satisfied with the battle just now?"
Just listen to Kurumi ask.
Hearing this, An Xiu nodded.
"Not bad. With the destructive power of Zafkiel transformed into Lucifugus, coupled with my reinforcement, you are considered to be a very powerful person in this world."
At least with the power of space, he is absolutely powerful in attack. Except for Saitama, there should be no one in this world who can defeat him head-on with defense.
"Speaking of which, Kurumi, you said before that you need to use the identity of a weirdo to do something?"
After a night of fierce fighting with two clones, and watching the battle between the heroes Kurumi and Hero Association, now An Xiu finally has time to think about what Kurumi said when he and Kurumi talked about being a weirdo before.
As for An Xiu's inquiry, Kurumi naturally would not hide anything.
"Of course it's to help the master sneak into the Monster Association."
"Sneaking into the Monster Association?"
After hearing Kurumi's answer, An Xiu suddenly understood.
Monster Association, as an important character in the Garou and Monster Association chapters of the original One Punch, is home to many monsters, including countless wolf-level and Tiger-tier monsters, as well as a large number of ghost-level and Dragon-level monsters.
For the clones of An Xiu and An Xiu, if you can eat Monster Association, you will undoubtedly get a very considerable amount of points.
And this is also the reason why Kurumi mixed into the Monster Association.
By virtue of Dragon-level's identity as a weirdo as assessed by the Hero Association, Kurumi who joins Monster Association can at least gain a good status. In addition, Hero Association on the surface and various celebrities and rich people are also secretly controlled by Mobius.
In this way, whether it is the hero or the weirdo, the movements will basically be controlled by the clones of An Xiu. Whether intentionally or not, with the combat power of An Xiu's clones, including Jibril, it is not difficult to destroy Monster Association.
PS: An elder in the family has passed away, so I will update first today and second update tomorrow.
Chapter 281: Returning Sakura and Sakuya, heading to the Hero Association
"However, as for the elimination of the Monster Association, let's wait until the research results from Mobius come out."
Although with the current strength, it is not impossible to try to destroy Monster Association, but according to Mobius's research progress on Factor of Light, An Xiu's strength will be greatly improved again in the near future.
And with the ability of Soul Supply, the strength of An Xiu has increased, which means that the strength of the clones around An Xiu will also be greatly improved. In this case, there is absolutely no need to rush to start a war with the Monster Association now.
After all, you only need to wait patiently for a month to turn the situation into a crushing one. Why do you have to rush to find excitement for yourself?
"So where does the master want to go next?"
I heard Jibril flying next to An Xiu ask.
"Since we are at One Punch World, then naturally we will go and see Hero Association."
After all, Mobius still has the identity of the major shareholder of the Hero Association, so there is no need to use it in vain. As long as An Xiu wants to, he can contact Mobius, and then go to the Hero Association headquarters to become the boss.
But before that, we still need to determine the plot time.
"As far as I know, Hero Association has not broadcast news about Deep Sea Folk's massive invasion recently, which means that the current plot point is roughly before Deep Sea Folk's invasion."
Faced with An Xiu's inquiry, Tokisaki Kurumi replied.
The plot of the invasion of Deep Sea Folk has not yet happened, which means that the current plot has not progressed to the later stage of the Boros chapter. Even considering that the body of Genos has not been upgraded before, it is very likely that even the plot of the City Z meteorite has not happened yet. It will be at least one or two months before the arrival of Boros.
Therefore, it is completely feasible to complete the upgrade through the research of Mobius before the arrival of Boros, then destroy Monster Association and then fight against Boros.
"Then let's leave for City A."
After thinking about the next arrangements, An Xiu spoke.
However, considering the identity of Kurumi, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to accompany An Xiu on the next trip.
"It doesn't matter. It just so happened that there was a lot of commotion at City Z this time. I also need to deal with the inquiries from the Monster Association so as not to make the other party suspicious."
Although he felt very sorry that he would not be able to stay with his master for the time being, Kurumi still nodded empathetically.
"There's a little bit of trouble here, too."
Jibril on the other side also spoke in distress at this time. Compared to Tokisaki Kurumi, Jibril's image in One Punch World is closer to a weirdo in the eyes of ordinary people. Whether it is the wings on the back or the halo above the head, they are all typical characteristics of weirdos in this world, not to mention the powerful power.
Tokisaki Kurumi cannot stay with An Xiu because he is considered a weirdo by the Hero Association and is wanted. Jibril is not much better here. Although it is not impossible to continue to be with An Xiu, trouble will definitely be inevitable.
"It seems like we need to find a new clone with a good image."
An Xiu thought silently in his heart.
As for clones that just look like they won't be immediately spotted as weirdos, there are still a lot of them around An Xiu. In other words, clones like Jibril that look like they belong to an inhuman race at first glance are only a handful here with An Xiu.
In addition to Jibril, there seems to be only one Meli.
There are currently many clones who have time to accompany An Xiu, such as Sakura, Seele, Makima, Sakuya, and even Artoria should be happy to accompany An Xiu.
But after thinking for a moment, An Xiu finally chose Sakura and Sakuya.
Sakura Needless to say, as An Xiu currently has the highest potential and the strongest clone, there is nothing wrong with calling him together. As for other aspects, whether it is taking care of people in daily life or helping with various things, it is obvious that Izayoi Sakuya is more professional as a maid.
Therefore, after selecting these two candidates, An Xiu directly opened a portal and brought over Sakuya who was in the Londinium Palace and Sakura who was stationed in Hestia Familia in the DanMachi world.
Just like that, one day later.
An Xiu, Sakura and Izayoi Sakuya appeared outside the building located at the headquarters of City A Hero Association.
Located at the entrance, the staff who had been waiting here immediately came to greet you.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. An Xiu, and are you accompanied by Miss Sakura Kinomoto and Miss Izayoi Sakuya? Welcome to visit Hero Association."
Judging from the respectful look of the staff in front of me, it was obvious that Mobius had greeted Hero Association in advance.
After entering the Hero Association headquarters building, several more Hero Association management personnel rushed over after receiving the news.
"I am Sitch, the management staff of the Hero Association. I solemnly welcome three guests to the Hero Association headquarters."
I saw Sitch cautiously speaking to the three An Xiu in front of me.
Not long ago, Ms. Mobius, as the major shareholder of her company, personally contacted Hero Association and requested the association to focus on entertaining a few guests.
In this regard, Hero Association naturally did not dare to show any neglect, for fear that its major shareholders would withdraw their capital in anger because of the poor performance of the association.
Therefore, although the current An Xiu trio were not able to enjoy the highest-standard welcome ceremony due to the hasty preparation time of the association, the treatment in other aspects is undoubtedly top-notch.
The association's requirements for An Xiu can be said to be basically accommodating. Various confidential areas that are usually off-limits to casual visitors can even be visited at will. It is an attitude that the leaders send people to inspect.
With such a flattering attitude, it can only be said that the social structure of One Punch World is indeed deformed. If I remember correctly, the S-class hero, who is the representative of the decent side with the highest combat power, can even be sent as the bodyguard of the rich because he is named by the association's shareholders in the original work.
