New Gene Modification Plan and Boros's Training Facility

The next day, early morning.

"The murderer must be among us!"

Child Emperor looked at the Zombie Man lying on the ground with bloodstains on his neck and a machete beside him and said decisively.

"As S-Class Hero, it's hard to imagine anyone who could assassinate Zombie Man, and there are no monsters nearby. Only you fellow S-Class Hero have the ability to assassinate Zombie Man! Moreover, you are either among the top in S-rank strength or extremely fast experts."

Child Emperor stroked his chin, his gaze constantly shifting between King, Flashy Flash, and the others.

Genos asked, "But isn't it said that Zombie Man is immortal? Why is he still lying on the ground Fudō? Is he asleep?"

Child Emperor said, "How could that be! Who would be so bored as to sleep in the corridor? Could it be that the Zombie Man couldn't fall asleep, so he simply slit his own throat to make it easier to sleep?"

"Wait a minute, you've been talking for so long, why don't you check the security footage?"

Saitama raised his hand, looking speechless.

"Hmph, how could a master of this caliber leave behind such basic evidence so easily?"

Child Emperor crossed his arms over his shoulders, looking utterly disbelieving.

"Anyway, it won't make any difference if we just look at it."

Saitama scratched his head and said.

Ten minutes later, in the monitoring room.

Everyone was speechless as they looked at the surveillance footage that Sitch had brought up.

Child Emperor was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes.

"Speaking of which, what exactly are Teacher Meikyō and Tatsumaki doing flying out so late at night?"

Genos looked bewildered and said while watching the surveillance footage.

King seemed lost in thought, stroking his chin.

"King, do you know anything? With your abilities, you should have been able to detect their movements last night, right?"

Seeing King's expression, Sitch couldn't help but ask.

The plots of the various dating sims he had completed flashed through King's mind, and connecting them with the events of last night, he immediately spoke:

"Scarlet Ninja and Tatsumaki are both single young people in their twenties. They are similar in age, status, and strength, and they are both very good-looking. They just happened to drink so much last night. They are alone together. What will happen next should be a natural progression, right?"

King was filled with doubt, but he was used to putting on a calm, expressionless face in front of others, so to everyone else, King's words seemed very confident.

"So that's how it is. In the past, because of Tatsumaki's appearance and personality, everyone always treated her like a child. Now that I think about it, she's reached an age."

Sitch Satori.

"The Scarlet Ninja is indeed a very attractive boy," the Sexy Futanari nodded in agreement.

"Ugh... you freak, can you please stop disgusting me?"

The Metal Bat makes a vomiting motion, indicating nausea.

"Ballstick, are you jealous? It's okay, I understand."

The Sexy Futanari spoke gently to the Metal Bat.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Metal Bat immediately vomited up everything he had eaten the night before.

Just then, the door was knocked open, revealing the figure of the Zombie Man.

"Oh, that explains why I couldn't find them after looking for so many times. They're all here. Scarlet Ninja and Tatsumaki just got back. Sitch, didn't you say last night that you had a meeting today? Scarlet Ninja said Tatsumaki was exhausted last night and needs to rest this morning, so she's not going. Just let her know the details later."

"Ah, I understand. It's rare for young people to be so energetic as to work through the night, but it's understandable."

Sitch had an expression that said, "I know everything."

The morning meeting lasted for four hours before it ended.

After the meeting, Sitch immediately went to Meikyō.

"Scarlet Ninja, how was your night?"

Sitch, dressed in a sharp suit, stood in front of Meikyō and greeted her.

"Ah, it's alright, just a little tired."

Meikyō replied.

Tatsumaki is quite strong, but she was drunk and acting crazy last night. Meikyō didn't intend to hurt Tatsumaki. He thought that once the girl got tired and the effects of the alcohol wore off, she would naturally want to go back to sleep. So Meikyō stayed with her and fought all night.

"Ah, I've been there too. Although I can't stay up all night like you young people, I still have some experience. If needed, I can offer some 'health-preserving' tips."

Sitch said with a smile.

"Um... I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't think I need any health-preserving remedies."

"Ah, I forgot, Scarlet Ninja is also skilled in medicine and should be knowledgeable in pharmacology. I was just being nosy."

Sitch it was just a young man being shy and embarrassed, and then straightened his expression.

"Ahem, Scarlet Ninja, I actually have another mission here this time."

"Is it about the disposal of the spaceship wreckage?"

Meikyō had anticipated this.

"Hmm, not bad. Although you, Scarlet Ninja, Tatsumaki, Saitama, and the others deserve the most credit for this alien invasion, and you should rightfully handle the spoils, you also know that with such a large spaceship wreckage in A-City, we can't even begin reconstruction, so..."

"Ah, I know, it's okay. If Metal Knight wants it, let him take it back himself."

Meikyō waved his hand dismissively and said.

In a week, he had already dismantled the most valuable items from the spaceship with Dr. Kuseno and Genus, and taken them away in batches using Sealing Scroll.

The rest can be left to Metal Knight without any problem.

"Ah, thank you for your understanding. Based on the discussions between the Hero Association and Metal Knight, the research results obtained from the spaceship wreckage will be shared among the S-Class Hero as a reward for your participation in this battle."

Sitch breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was still a little uneasy.

The Scarlet Ninja is clearly a very proud person, and her strength is absolutely top-notch among S-rank heroes. According to the descriptions of the S-Class Hero after the battle, her strength is no less than Tatsumaki's, and even slightly stronger due to the versatility of her abilities.

Now that Tatsumaki has allied herself with Scarlet Ninja, and considering Tatsumaki's personality, if Scarlet Ninja disagrees, it could really cause a major conflict with Metal Knight, which would have a certain impact on the Hero Association.

It's a good thing that we've achieved this result.

After saying goodbye to Sitch, Meikyō left.

However, instead of returning to his residence in the uninhabited area of Z-City, he went to a building in Z-City.

The twelve large characters "Evolution Takoyaki Global Chain Headquarters" gleamed in the sunlight atop the building.

At the base of the building is the laboratory that Genus built at great expense.

"Genus, I didn't expect that in such a short time, you've really made a name for yourself."

Meikyō sat at the table, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Ah, it's nothing. With my intelligence, I only need to study business a little to outsmart most businessmen. Plus, with enough technical expertise, our takoyaki is inexpensive. We've also researched and developed a variety of flavors that best suit the taste buds of the general public. Such success is to be expected."

"I'm so cocky," Genus said, fiddling with his hair.

His Evolution Takoyaki has opened many branches around the world, and now there are Evolution Takoyaki chain stores in almost every city. It is a rising star in the industry.

"If I hadn't used most of my profits to build this laboratory, my company could have more than doubled in size by now. Of course, there's no need for that right now."

Genus swirled the red wine in his glass, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Then, what about those things I asked you to study?"

Meikyō asked Genus.

"There have been some results, but the effects are not very good."

Genus, carrying the Meikyō, arrived in front of a giant electronic screen.

"I have studied the new gene samples you brought me. It is indeed very likely that they share a common ancestor with your Uchiha. That should be the progenitor of your special bloodline, right? If you want to integrate these genes into your body like the previous ones, it will be much more difficult."

Genus pulled up a series of data and displayed them in front of the Meikyō.

"The cell samples I cloned based on these genes all have extremely strong vitality, especially this one, which is so domineering that it can almost devour all other cells as nutrients. If an ordinary person were to have such a domineering gene transplanted, it would likely cause unavoidable damage to their body."

"And what about me?"

"You are an exception. Although your genes are not as good as those of the previous batch of your Uchiha clan members, they are still from the same source as you. With your genes and physical abilities, transplanting them is not a problem at all. But the problem lies with another one."

Genus pointed to the screen and said:

"The shape expression of this No. 3 gene bank should be the same as that of your Uchiha, all in the eyes. If it is transplanted into you, I don't know if it will have any effect on your eyes, and the success rate will be much lower."

"To give an example, if the genes of the original Uchiha clan members and your genes are 90% to 95% compatible, it's because of the close bloodline. The genes in the second gene pool also come from a closer ancestor, and I can sense that you have also been enhanced by products of these genes, so the compatibility is about 80%."

Meikyō nodded slightly, indicating that what Genus said was true.

They have been taking the Golden Potion for quite some time now. Even today, Uchiha Fugaku says he can feel the decrease in his eye power consumed when using his Dojutsu, and that he has a slight ability to recover his eye power.

Overall, I can say that I have a basic, or rather, incomplete, version of the immortal body.

In that case, it's reasonable that his genes are highly compatible with those of Senju Uzumaki.

"As for this third gene, its expression in the eyes is vastly different from that of your Uchiha Sharingan. Although it is of the same origin, it is much older, and its compatibility may be less than 70. I do not recommend that you take this risk."

"To give an analogy, just like humans and monkeys are not only mammals but also primates, and they shared a common ancestor many years ago, but if some of the monkey's genes were transplanted into humans, it might not necessarily bring good results, because humans don't need such abundant body hair or such a long tail."

Genus's explanation was easy to understand, which quickly dispelled Meikyō's idea of transplanting the Hyuga Clan's genes.

"When will the transplantation of this second gene bank begin?"

Meikyō asked Genus.

"It will take a little more time. The nanobots we used last time will be fine. I need to modify the algorithm based on your current physical condition. Also, this time there is no excuse to borrow the supercomputer from Dr. Kuseno. We can only rely on ourselves to save money. However, given my company's current ability to make money, it won't be too long."

"I understand. What about the things brought back from the alien spaceships? Is anything of them useful?"

Meikyō nodded and continued.

"Well, that depends on your definition of useful."

Genus adjusted his Glasses, walked to the wall, and pressed a button.

Suddenly, a long tunnel appeared underground.

At the end of the tunnel was a huge basement, the size of two football fields, filled with various instruments and weapons that Genus considered valuable, obtained from the Dark Pirate Ship.

"Most of these weapons, according to the Hero Association's regulations, are destructive enough to be comparable to the damage caused by Demon-level monster. Only a small portion are comparable to Dragon-level monster. They are very useful to others, but they are useless to you."

As Genus said, the weapons here are basically of little use to Meikyō.

"We all know your strength. You can easily crush most Dragon-level monsters. The power of these weapons is probably not even as good as a single sword aura you unleash. Even as an auxiliary weapon, I can't think of anything that could help your combat ability."

Genus spread his hands and began to list the abilities of the Meikyō one by one.

"You can sense things and see through things, so radar and spectral imaging devices are useless to you. The hardest alloys can't match the hardness of your physical body. You can even conjure up that flying golden giant, so exoskeleton armor and large mechs won't help you much either. You can even breathe fire and generate electricity, and you can blow up Tatsumaki. You also have plenty of combat experience. To be honest, there are no flaws you need to make up for."

"I see. Then it really isn't very useful."

Meikyō, resting her chin on her hand.

Given Boros's strength, the things on the spaceship were useless to him. Although Meikyō's strength was not as good as Boros's, it was still stronger than the three top-ranking combatants on his ship, and his situation was somewhat similar to Boros's.

"It's not that there aren't any uses for it."

Genus turned a corner and led Meikyō to an instrument that looked as big as a single-story house.

"According to the data I deciphered, this Gravity Chamber should be where Boros usually trains. It can adjust the magnitude of gravity according to the energy output. If there is the help of Psychic Power, the effect can be multiplied. I think it should also be of some use to you."

"A gravity training room, for Psychic Power individuals..."

Meikyō touched the outer casing of the large instrument and raised an eyebrow.

By now, Enel's Lightning has almost no effect on him.

Mingjing's body has almost reached its maximum resistance to Lightning, and Meikyō can even jump rope with high-voltage power lines now.

This thing appeared at just the right time.

If it can help a powerful figure like Boros, then it can help oneself as well.

"Want to try it out first?"

Genus pointed to the gravity training room and asked Meikyō across from him.

"Certainly."

Meikyō nodded and immediately began warming up.

"Let me explain it to you first. This gravity training room is divided into three levels, which can be set freely. They are divided into three levels: Standard Stellar Class, White Dwarf Class, and Black Hole Class. The gravity intensity of each level will increase significantly, and the energy required for each level is also extremely large. The electricity in this building may only allow you to try the Standard Stellar Class, while the energy required to activate the White Dwarf Class for one hour is enough to power the entire Z-City for a month."

"As for the Black Hole Class, humanity's current power generation capabilities are insufficient to activate it. Even the energy from the destroyed sphere on Boros's ship probably wouldn't last long. According to the information I've uncovered, Boros was only able to activate the Black Hole Class for his own training thanks to the powerful telekinesis of the giant octopus-like creature on his ship. Simply relying on energy, no matter how vast the energy, wouldn't be enough. This involves some physical laws that current human technology hasn't yet encountered."

As Genus spoke, he adjusted the equipment, and finally pressed the next button, opening the door to the gravity training room.

"Take off your clothes before going in and put on this special suit. Ordinary clothes will be torn to shreds by the strong gravity inside, but only the special suit can withstand it. It also has a switch that can activate an emergency program to interrupt the process when you reach your limit."

In the sky, the Mosquito Girl flapped her wings and delivered a neatly folded, sealed garment.

"Okay, I'm going in then."

A few minutes later, Meikyō, who had changed into new clothes, stretched her arms and legs. Feeling that it did not hinder her movement, she stepped into the gravity training room.

Genus pressed a button and closed the door. The Mecha Gorilla stood in front of a device resembling a ship's wheel and pulled it downwards.

"Standard Stellar Class gravity training, initiated!"

Inside the gravity training room, Meikyō suddenly felt a strong pressure covering her body, and she stumbled, almost losing her balance.

However, after a few seconds of getting used to it, you can move more freely again once you start taking steps.

This is just Standard Stellar Class training exercise, and it probably won't be of much training value to Boros himself.

Meikyō estimates that even the highest- Black Hole Class would only put pressure on Boros in its pink form.

That form already reduces Boros's lifespan, so there's no point in Boros using it for training.

"Standard Stellar Class, White Dwarf Class, Black Hole Class —the names sound impressive, but they're just using celestial bodies to categorize gravity. A white dwarf's gravitational acceleration is 180,000 times that of Earth, enough to crush atoms into free electrons. If there were truly an entity capable of withstanding the gravity of a white dwarf or even a black hole, it could probably destroy Earth and even the Solar System with the flick of a finger."

Meikyō placed his hands on the ground, did a few push-ups, tested the intensity, then stood up and threw a punch forward.

The gravity on the surface of the sun is thirty times that on the surface of the earth, Meikyō estimates that the gravity here is probably more than thirty times.

This is due to the fact that standard stars in the universe are different from the Sun.

Ordinary humans can only withstand two or three times the Earth's gravity at most, while trained humans may be able to withstand five or six times, and astronauts, selected from thousands of candidates, can withstand ten times the gravity.

But this does not mean they can move normally under multiple times the gravity.

"Here, my speed has slowed down to a level comparable to that of an ordinary Jonin, roughly equivalent to my level when I first went to the Demon Slayer World more than a decade ago. In that case, high-intensity training here should have a certain training effect on my body."

Meikyō waved his fist, silently calculating in his mind.

The strength of an ordinary Jonin is already quite good. In the One-Punch Man World, it's not a problem to become a hero in the upper B-rank, enough to deal with ordinary Tiger-level monsters. With good luck, they might even be able to become A-rank.

However, for Meikyō, his speed decreased by many times in this gravity training room. After all, speed was his signature feature on the battlefield of the Shinobi World War, and the name "Meikyō the Body Flicker" had been sung in the Ninja World for more than ten years.

"Try using the sword here, see if Bruce can handle it."

Thinking of this, Meikyō took out the Ama-no-Ohabari and began practicing the sword form of Sun Breathing on the spot.

The material of the Ama-no-Ohabari is hard, and Bruce further enhanced its essence by obtaining the power of the Vampire-Vampire Fruit Ama-no-Ohabari. Later, he also absorbed the blood energy of several powerful beings along with Meikyō to continue strengthening himself, making it able to withstand this level of gravity without any discomfort.

"Such a physical body! Incredible! He can still wield a sword under this level of gravity, and at a speed far exceeding that of a normal human! The data from the sensors in his training suit also shows that his body is not experiencing any discomfort!"

Dr. Genos stood outside, watching Meikyō's movements through the monitor in the gravity training room, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He knew that Meikyō was very strong, and now it was far stronger than his most outstanding creation Carnage Kabuto, but this was the first time that it had a more direct manifestation of its power.

"Luckily, it was the Beast King who faced him back then, not me."

The Armored Gorilla watched the monitor and thought to itself.

He had done experiments for Genus, and even with his Demon-level monster body, he was almost crushed inside the machine, unable to move an inch.

A dozen minutes later.

"Hey! Uchiha Meikyō, how are you feeling right now?"

Genus shouted into the microphone.

"Not bad, I worked up a sweat. This place is indeed a great help to me."

Meikyō smiled and spoke to a loudspeaker made of some kind of alloy above.

"Then I'll turn off the equipment first. The power reserves I've accumulated over the past two weeks are almost used up by you!"

Genus pressed the button, Meikyō immediately felt a lightness in her body as the door in front of her slowly opened.
