The Hero Association's Savior: Sakura / Postwar Cleanup; The Astonishing Spoils from Destroying the Monster Association ...
"Fortunately, with me here, Miss Tatsumaki doesn't have to worry about her own safety."
After all, the master is quite interested in you and your sister.
The following words were not spoken, but Tokisaki Kurumi was seen waving the slender silver-white saber in his hand in a circle around the battlefield, and suddenly a large space was cut away by Kurumi's slash.
The space cracks left by these removed spaces naturally formed a barrier to intercept around the battlefield. All energy approaching was swallowed up by the space cracks and disappeared into Nihility.
As Tokisaki Kurumi arranged protective measures, Heaven's Strike released by Jibril finally fell at this moment, and the dazzling light instantly occupied everything in sight.
Chapter 292: Hero Association's savioro Sakura
As Jibril's Heaven's Strike's full of Destruction power exploded, the entire One Punch World earth was literally trembling.
At this moment, everyone on the earth can feel the ground shaking under their feet, and it becomes more intense as time goes by, as if it is about to explode in the next second.
"This... this power, does the earth really want Destruction?!"
Located at the Hero Association headquarters in City A, looking at the energy data erupting in City Z on the screen in front of him, which had already exceeded the limit of the association's observation methods, Sitch spoke with difficulty, his tone already filled with a bit of despair.
According to the inference of the staff responsible for analysis within the association, the energy erupted in City Z at this time has not yet reached the stage of complete explosion. In a few seconds, with the complete explosion of this force, the planet under their feet may fall apart in an instant.
There is no doubt that this is the most terrifying disaster they have observed so far since the establishment of the Hero Association. It is an unprecedented God-tier disaster that is truly enough to cause the extinction of human civilization!
In the face of such a disaster, do humans really have any means to resist it?
"Damn it, is there really no hope Yuki? No matter who you are, please save humanity!"
The number one S-class hero, Blast, has been missing most of the time. The second-ranked S-class hero, Tatsumaki, also lost contact not long ago. The third-ranked S-class hero, Silver Fang, was seriously injured when he faced Nightmare a month ago. It is still unknown whether he has fully recovered.
The basic scope of activities of the rest of the S-class heroes is not within City Z. Faced with the current situation, it can be said that they are beyond their reach. Even if they receive a notice from the association and are willing to rush to City Z for support, there is simply no time.
In other words, Hero Association... or it can be said that the entire human civilization is powerless to deal with the current situation. Perhaps, these are the last few seconds of human civilization's existence in this world.
Just when Sitch was about to fall into despair, suddenly, a joyful voice came from his subordinates.
"Sir Sitch, the situation has changed. The energy erupted at City Z was suddenly forcibly blocked by another energy within the range of City Z!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Sitch immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the screen in front of him.
"Quickly, use satellite surveillance to see if you can see the scene!"
Satellite surveillance was not used to check the scene before because the Destruction explosive force that erupted at City Z interfered with the signals of electronic equipment, so even with satellite surveillance, it was impossible to view the details of the scene.
But now, if you just take a rough look at the distant view of City Z, there is no problem. As the staff operated, a photo of the City Z area from the universe was displayed on the screen.
In the picture, the terrifying power that erupted in Z was indeed firmly sealed within the scope of City Z by another force. From a cosmic perspective, the entire City Z was wrapped in an unknown pure white power. Even the trembling feeling that was constantly coming from under the feet had disappeared at this time.
This phenomenon is obviously man-made, which means that someone is probably working secretly to help mankind overcome this difficulty.
"Can you find out who took action?"
Seeing this scene, Sitch quickly asked the staff.
"Currently searching."
The staff member in front of Sitch replied, and at the same time controlled the satellite monitoring to continuously search along the area around City Z.
Finally, not long after, the staff of the Hero Association locked the target. Located outside City Z, a little girl's figure appeared on the screen.
At the same time, in addition to City Z, Sakura also took back his cards at this moment.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shield Card."
The Shield Card in Sakura's hand flickered slightly as if in response, and was then put away by Sakura.
Yes, the person who just helped One Punch World to resolve the crisis and successfully protected human civilization and the earth from Jibril's blast of Heaven's Strike was Sakura.
Using the defense mechanism of Shield Card, Sakura, who had been entrusted by An Xiu to deal with the aftermath, used Shield Card at the same time as Jibril attacked.
As for the target, it is the entire City Z.
Under normal circumstances, Shield Card's defense capability is external, but this does not mean that Shield Card has no defense against attacks from within. Theoretically, as long as Sakura does not interrupt the supply of magic power, then the defense provided by Shield Card will be the same whether it is an outside-in attack or an inside-out attack.
In fact, the result is very obvious. The attack Heaven's Strike released by Jibril did not make any waves and failed to shake Shield Card's defense at all.
After all, even as the strongest clone before Sakura under An Xiu, coupled with the enhancement of An Xiu that is now at the star system level, there is still a gap of more than one level in strength between Jibril and Sakura.
"I didn't expect it to be her..."
Over at the Hero Association headquarters, looking at the little girl on the screen, Sitch murmured to himself.
Unexpectedly, the girl who confronted Miss Tatsumaki that day at the association headquarters actually had such power and was able to prevent this crisis that might lead to the destruction of the world.
Although when confronting Ms. Tatsumaki, the super power that the girl released to suppress Ms. Tatsumaki had already demonstrated her strength to a large extent, but it was still not as powerful as in the scene now, where the girl casually restrained all the terrifying power that exceeded the association's observation limit in City Z.
As for City Z being completely Destruction? It's not a big problem. Although the destruction of a city is indeed not a trivial matter, due to the initial commotion when Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi attacked Monster Association, the residents in City Z have already been evacuated, and what is now completely destroyed is just an empty city.
And with One Punch World's speed of infrastructure construction, even if an entire city is completely destroyed, it won't take long to rebuild. Therefore, this loss is nothing compared to the crisis that was resolved by the girl, which may lead to the destruction of all mankind. From Sitch's perspective, it is nothing.
Of course, having been around the Hero Association all year round and serving as a manager, Sitch also has a lot of experience. Naturally, he has seen many ghosts and monsters, such as people who blame the hero for the losses caused by weirdos or various disasters because the hero did not show up at the first time, and thus abused him.
Sitch, who was worried that something like this would happen to a young girl, was a little hesitant to let this matter spread. After all, Sakura is a genuine twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and his mental endurance may not be as strong as that of an adult. If this really happens...
"I will keep this matter secret for the time being. After this matter is completely over, I will try to visit in person. At that time, Ms. Sakura will decide whether to let this matter spread."
After thinking for a moment, Sitch finally chose the safest option.
Chapter 293: Post-war treatment, the amazing harvest of destroying Monster Association
On the other side, on the battlefield of City Z, because the entire city had disappeared under the Heaven's Strike shot just fired by Jibril, the battlefield at this time had turned into a huge endless basin as far as the eye could see.
The only place that is still intact is probably the piece of pure land carved out by Tokisaki Kurumi with the power of space.
The figure of Jibril fell from the sky, came to the location where Monster King Orochi was previously, and then picked up a piece of broken body tissue on the ground.
Due to its tenacious vitality, and the fact that Jibril deliberately left it behind in its previous attack, this remaining piece of body tissue belonging to Monster King Orochi still maintains a certain vitality, constantly squirming in Jibril's hands and trying to regenerate, but it is firmly held Binding Vow by Jibril's power.
At this time, Tokisaki Kurumi also flew over with Tatsumaki in his arms and landed next to Jibril.
"In this way, all the tasks assigned by the master this time have been completed."
Just listen to Jibril speak, and at the same time look at Tatsumaki in Tokisaki Kurumi's arms.
"Should we take her to the research base and hand her over to the master? Or Mobius and the others should also be interested in a powerful superpower experimental product."
"The master didn't ask me to take her back. I just want to find a safe place to put her down later."
Tokisaki Kurumi shook his head and said.
At this time, Tatsumaki had completely lost consciousness. As early as when Jibril's Heaven's Strike broke out, Tokisaki Kurumi found that Tokisaki Kurumi could resist the aftermath of Heaven's Strike by himself. After leaving a sentence of "you lied to me", Tatsumaki fell into a coma and has not woken up until now.
And for a character like this where the owner has clearly expressed interest, but has not specifically told their clones what to do, it is obvious that there are other arrangements. Regardless of whether the owner intends to let nature take its course, or wants to take it slow, it is best for these clones not to disturb An Xiu's interest.
"There seems to be some living weirdo there."
As if feeling something, Jibril suddenly looked at the area where Tokisaki Kurumi was previously.
"I should have survived your attack with the help of the safe zone I created."
After listening to Jibril's words, Tokisaki Kurumi replied, and at the same time, his figure flashed to the safe zone he had previously created using the power of space.
As if he sensed someone approaching, he saw the rubble-filled ruins in front of Tokisaki Kurumi rising slightly, and then a shrunken black Big Dog emerged from under the ruins.
"Woof!"
Yes, the weirdo who survived Heaven's Strike from Jibril is none other than Monster Association's top weirdo cadre, Pochi.
Previously, he was kicked by Tokisaki Kurumi during the battle and was temporarily incapacitated. His body was buried in rubble and remained on the battlefield. Only then, by some strange combination of circumstances, did he survive Heaven's Strike from Jibril.
"Do I need to kill it again?"
Jibril asked.
"It shouldn't be necessary. If you just need points, you can bring it back and give it to Ms. Makima to control, just like the original Gojo Satoru."
"And if a living peak Dragon-level weirdo like this is brought back as a living research material, it will be more helpful to Miss Mobius's research."
Of course, the most important point is that Pochi is fundamentally different from other weirdos like Monster Association. It does not have much of the brutal character of a weirdo, but it is literally a dog that was raised too big and mutated as a result of Monsterization.
From the original book, Saitama brought it back as a pet dog and even cosplayed with Blizzard Group's foreign aid from time to time. It can be seen that as long as the opponent can suppress the opponent in terms of strength, it can be kept as a powerful and docile pet.
Therefore, rather than killing it directly here with a last hit, it would be more beneficial to take it back and hand it over to Mobius along with Monster King Orochi's body remains.
"Let's go."
Holding Tatsumaki in one hand, he picked up Pochi, which had shrunk to the height of a human knee, with the other hand. Tokisaki Kurumi then left the ruins of City Z together with Jibril.
But before leaving, both of them took a meaningful look at the previous battlefield, because there was still a lingering aura of weirdos there.
This aura was none other than Black Sperm, which had quietly slipped away after Tatsumaki arrived on the battlefield. However, the aura at this time was very sluggish, with only a few hundred cells left.
Unlike Pochi who survived an accidental collision, Black Sperm who barely survived Heaven's Strike from Jibril is Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi deliberately stayed behind after receiving the order from An Xiu, just like the body of Monster King Orochi that remained in Jibril's hands.
Considering the characteristics of Black Sperm in the original work of One-Punch Man, it can continuously replicate and divide itself by supplementing proteins, and each divided cell is considered an independent individual. Therefore, An Xiu intends to test whether it is possible to obtain points multiple times by repeatedly brushing the replica and leaving a little each time to continue dividing.
If feasible, then you can raise it in One Punch World and brush it every time it is fattened.
Of course, these are just conjectures at the moment. For details, we have to wait for An Xiu at the research base to make statistics and harvest the results.
In the research base, An Xiu is listening to a series of system prompts in his ears.
"Ding! Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi were detected and destroyed Monster Association for the host. 800,000 points will be rewarded."
"Ding! It is detected that Jibril kills Monster King Orochi for the host, and the reward is 600,000 points."
"Ding! It is detected that Jibril kills Black Sperm (49 trillion) for the host. Reward 400,000 points."
"Ding! It is detected that Tokisaki Kurumi kills several Dragon-level monsters for the host. Reward 400,000 points."
"Ding! It has been detected that Jibril has killed a large number of ghost-level, Tiger-tier, and wolf-level monsters for the host. 100,000 points will be awarded."
Big explosion, this operation to wipe out Monster Association brought an unprecedented big explosion to An Xiu.
The destruction of the Monster Association itself, plus Monster King Orochi plus a group of Dragon-level cadres and a large number of weirdos below Dragon-level, contributed a total of 2.3 million points to An Xiu.
The reason why it can get so many points is that on the one hand, the overall quality of the Monster Association is high enough, and on the other hand, it is because Monster Association takes up a lot of the plot in the original work.
It should be noted that the points rewarded by An Xiu's system are not only linked to strength, just like in the original Jujutsu world, Ryomen Sukuna and Teacher Gojo each contributed 50,000 points to An Xiu.
Are they able to contribute so many points because Ryomen Sukuna and Teacher Gojo are strong enough? There is a part of this reason, but in terms of strength, Seele, who had Herrscher Authority worth 10,000 points at the time, could easily lift Sukuna and Teacher Gojo up and beat them.
Therefore, the bigger reason is that Ryomen Sukuna and Teacher Gojo account for a large enough proportion in the plot of the Jujutsu world, which allows them to achieve such high status in a world like the Jujutsu world where the overall level of combat power is not high.
The same is true for the current Monster Association. As the protagonist of the Monster Association chapter in the original One Punch, he is also an important role in the Garou chapter. The higher proportion of the plot coupled with the overall higher strength of the One Punch World character contributed to the total of more than two million points, successfully making An Xiu fat.
Chapter 294: Dark Matter Thieves's movements, Boros: Should I fight Sakura?
"It's great."
The receipt of more than two million points undoubtedly made An Xiu feel good. At this time, the three clones Sakura, Tokisaki Kurumi and Jibril also returned to the research base.
"An Xiu-ge."
I heard Sakura walking in front speak, and An Xiu also stepped forward and hugged Sakura.
"You did a very good job in this operation to eliminate Monster Association."
Holding Sakura's soft body in his arms, An Xiu said to Sakura and Tokisaki Kurumi and Jibril in front of him.
Needless to say, Tokisaki Kurumi and Jibril were the main contributors to the annihilation of the Monster Association. As for Sakura, even though they only used Shield Card once at the end, their contribution was not small at all.
If Sakura hadn't been behind them, Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi wouldn't have been able to fight so wildly. It was precisely because of Sakura that Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi could do whatever they wanted without worrying about accidentally blowing up the planet under their feet.
Therefore, if we really want to talk about it, the role played by Sakura in this operation is no worse than Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi. Even considering that the strength of the clones around An Xiu is now as strong as An Xiu has collectively skyrocketed, but there is still only one candidate who can protect everyone, Sakura. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sakura is more important than Jibril and Tokisaki Kurumi.
Hearing An Xiu's compliment, Jibril, Tokisaki Kurumi and Sakura all had smiles on their faces.
But at this moment, Sakura, who was being held by An Xiu, seemed to suddenly feel something. He looked up and then turned to look at An Xiu.
"An Xiu-ge, the space pirate group's spaceship that you asked Sakura to pay attention to is already approaching Solar System, and it may arrive at Earth in a few days."
"Really? Dark Matter Thieves is coming soon."
Hearing Sakura's words, An Xiu nodded.
