Exposure Crisis

No sooner had Dr. Genus, still injured, reluctantly came to see Asura.

He also made it clear that Asura could kill him at any time to vent his anger, but there was a 'sample' he absolutely had to get.

Immediately, a screen lit up on the wall, showing Saitama and Genos sitting at a control panel in a laboratory.

"Hmm? So, that person was also an intruder?"

After scolding Genus, Asura spoke up.

"Just now? Who?"

Genus was stunned.

"It was just a guy in a black suit... who walked straight out of the space, saying it was some kind of teleportation method... I thought he was one of yours," Asura said.

"It's him!"

Genus recalled the mysterious figure he had just seen on the surveillance footage. The person was clearly not part of the bald man and the cyborgs... because their methods and timing of infiltrating the base were inconsistent. The bald man and the cyborgs outside had simply launched a violent intrusion without any attempt at concealment.

Moreover, judging from the messages sent back by the Armored Gorilla, they did not encounter the man in the suit.

I just don't know why they've set their sights on the House of Evolution! "Has the person already left?"

Genus looked around.

"Of course, I scared them away! Hahahaha."

The rhinoceros beetle burst into laughter.

Now is not the time to investigate the man in the suit's origins; the bald duo is already about to invade this place.

Faced with Genus's plea, Asura finally agreed. He hadn't lost control yet... Although he wanted to kill the doctor, the doctor had at least turned him into a new human and given him this power, so before he could slaughter humans to his heart's content, he didn't mind doing Genus a small favor.

Then, Asura roughly grabbed the doctor with one hand and ran wildly towards the location in the base where Saitama and Genos's auras were present. He charged recklessly along the way, not taking the normal route, and after smashing through many walls, he arrived in front of the bald duo in a passage.

The two sides agreed to meet at the combat laboratory inside the base.

Before Asura and Saitama officially began their battle, Genos made a brief display of skill, launching the first wave of attacks against the House of Evolution's strongest fighter. However, against his 'Machine Gun Blows' and 'Flame Jet' techniques, they didn't even scratch Asura's skin.

Instead, he got beaten up... even his hair was singed.

From afar, Genus, who witnessed this scene, was quite confident in his masterpiece.

The Asura Kabuto is the ultimate product of artificial crystallization. In his view, it is capable of defeating Saitama, a "monkey" whose "human genes" have evolved and grown autonomously.

Asura's strength also piqued Saitama's interest.

Just as the two were about to fight, Asura, who had been looking arrogant, was suddenly terrified by a single glance from the bald man and flew far away, not daring to breathe. His facial features even twisted and distorted, and he roared, demanding to know where Saitama got such powerful strength from! Saitama then continued the conversation he hadn't finished telling Genos at home.

He proactively revealed his training methods over the past three years.

However, to Genus, Genos, and Asura, his words sounded like a joke.

I didn't take it to heart.

Feeling betrayed, Asura was furious and began to transform, activating a special 'Carnage Mode'.

In an instant, the entire combat laboratory was brightly lit with red light, and the passageway was forcibly closed.

Everyone was trapped inside, with nowhere to go.

"Being able to sense that Saitama possesses ineffable power, just that alone makes him stronger than many monsters..." Above everyone's heads, unnoticed by the others, there was a spatial rift. Oboro's eyes looked down at the Asura Kabuto, whose flesh and blood had multiplied and whose aura had become extremely terrifying, and he thought to himself.

Not to mention the monsters that appeared later, even many S-class heroes of the Hero Association did not notice anything special about Saitama.

It is clear that this Asura Kabuto, although a character who appears in the early part of the story, is already quite powerful.

This indirectly proves that this House of Evolution of Genus is quite sophisticated.

Oboro thought that after transforming, Asura Kabuto would beat Saitama up like in the original story... because in this state, his mind is out of control, and he will only fight and kill endlessly for a week.

Unexpectedly, this guy transformed, and after describing his state, he shouted, "I'm going to kill all three of you... you, him, and that runaway man in the suit!"

"I'll show you my power... then I'll go out and kill all of humanity!!"

"Wait a moment!"

Saitama was stunned when he heard the voice.

He raised his hand, which was covered by a red leather glove, with a puzzled look on his face.

He glanced at Genos behind him, then at himself, and then looked up at Asura. "The man in the suit... do you mean him?"

Saitama pointed to the doctor in the distance.

"It seems you and that person are not in cahoots after all... The person Asura mentioned infiltrated our base before you..." Genus spoke before the Genus could answer.

However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes hardened and he shut his mouth.

"There's one more person?"

Saitama frowned.

Then, Oboro, who was hiding in the space, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second, the bald man standing on the ground suddenly looked up.

The gaze was fixed on the tiny, invisible crack high in the sky.

Their eyes even met.

"Ah!"

Saitama opened his mouth slightly, "It's you!"

"..."

Long was speechless.

He thought that there was no problem with him freely coming and going to the House of Evolution.

Even though Genus saw his own reflection in the surveillance footage and was exposed to Asura.

Because the time between Saitama and his apprentice breaking into the House of Evolution and leaving was quite short, in such a tense moment, everyone's focus was on different things, and no one paid any attention to him... Genus was thinking about Asura defeating Saitama to prove his own ideas.

Asura is in a state of madness and mental instability, so there's no need to worry about him.

Who would have thought... that the latter would casually mention himself.

"It seems I've gotten too used to the easy and comfortable days lately... and I'm not as meticulous in my actions as I used to be." Oboro chuckled to himself.

Saitama must have recognized 'him'.

This 'voyeur' has been hiding in the shadows all along.

But strangely enough... enemies are bound to be furious when they meet, and Saitama didn't immediately jump up and attack Oboro, who was hiding behind the spatial rift.

Bang! At that moment, Asura's One-Punch Man, as swift and terrifying as a gust of wind, slammed towards Saitama.

Unlike in the original story, Saitama didn't let the monster hit him like a ball, sending him flying and bouncing wildly around the laboratory space. Instead, his expression instantly became extremely serious, and he raised one hand, instantly catching Asura's giant fist as it swung to the side.

The residual force of One-Punch Man punch alone shattered large sections of the laboratory floor, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

Saitama remained unmoved, his red leather gloves constantly tightening, causing Asura, who had just unleashed a terrifying attack, excruciating pain as Saitama crushed his enormous fist like cotton.

"Hey, I have a question for you..."

"What does the man in the suit you mentioned look like?"

Saitama met Asura's gaze with icy eyes and asked, word by word, solemnly.

Saitama knew very well the strength of the spy above him, and the ability to hide in space... Even if he made a move now, he might not be able to 'find' the other party.

At this juncture, he has become 'smart'.

Very calm.

Since Asura has met the other party.

So... I should first find out what the enemy looks like.

This makes the subsequent revenge much easier.
