The Monster Association, deep within the prison.
The Garou's hands and feet were bound with iron chains, and he fell into a deep sleep with his eyes closed.
Previously, although he had suppressed Cutting King and Eye Power, the Monster Association soon sent reinforcements.
Mud Jellyfish + Bug God, two monsters at the peak of the Demon-level.
At that time, the Garou was already at its last gasp, and with the Nose Guy captured by the Mud Jellyfish and taken hostage, the wolf was afraid of harming the wolves and was eventually defeated and captured here.
At the same time, Psykos watched Garou on the monitor screen and controlled Big Eye to go to Garou's cell.
"Monster King Orochi's strength should be enough to deal with Tatsumaki. If necessary, he can merge with me. Even if we face the combined forces of Scarlet Ninja and Tatsumaki, we might still have a fighting chance. But we also need to prepare a contingency plan with King."
"This guy, like Orochi before he became a monster, has a history of dying in crises and becoming stronger in the end. This shows that he also has the potential to become the next Orochi. If we want to deal with King, then it can only be him."
The Big Eye floated its body, rapidly traversing the tunnel.
But the next moment, a roar came from the top of the tunnel, and the road in Big Eye was buried by countless rubble.
The Big Eye slowly floated into the air, looking at the Tatsumaki in front of it.
This is being manipulated by Tatsumaki.
Psykos's Psychic Power- controlled Big Eye was almost powerless against Tatsumaki, the Psychic Power.
Where are the hostages?
Tatsumaki hovered in mid-air, looking down at Big Eye.
"Heh heh, Tatsumaki the Terrible, as expected of the Hero Association's ultimate weapon, her Psychic Power are indeed incredibly powerful, but..."
"Never stop babbling!"
Tatsumaki impatiently waved her hand, crushing the Big Eye in front of her into a perfect cube without even drawing blood.
"Hmph, so that's really his personality after all."
Psykos was not surprised. Instead, he waved his hand, intending to send one of the Big Eye clones he had left behind to the prison.
But...
"You've stalled for time enough. You've been hiding your true intentions pretty well!"
Tatsumaki frowned, looked down at her feet, and with a wave of her hand, lifted the ground, opening a crack.
"Hey! There's something the enemy is interested in on that road to the southeast behind me. Maybe the hostages are over there. Whoever has time, go check it out. I'm going to find the mastermind behind the Monster Association!"
After speaking to the buttons on her collar, Tatsumaki leaped down and, protected by her psychic powers, flew rapidly downwards.
Psykos frowned.
Really?
This is already deep inside the Earth's crust. No matter how strong Tatsumaki's Psychic Power, could it still sense this place?
Could it be that she found the location by sensing the psychic fluctuations through the same Psychic Power she possessed in Big Eye?
As a fellow Psychic Power, Psykos knew just how outrageous this was.
"There's no other way. We can't afford to worry about the Garou anymore. The only option now is..."
Psykos, with a grim face, picked up a bottle of medicine from the table and drank it.
The psychic energy fluctuations that were already at the level of Dragon-level monster on his body increased several times over!
"Boom!"
Even a thousand meters underground, cracks have appeared from the tremors.
Psykos, her long hair flowing, struggled to fend off the Tatsumaki's attacks.
Thanks to that potion, she had the Psychic Power to fight Tatsumaki for a short time, but she couldn't maintain it for long.
So...
"Boom..."
Meikyō removed the Ama-no-Ohabari from a Demon-level monster called the Suction Demon and looked at the cracked wall in front of him.
Although the blood energy on the Suction Demon's body had not been completely absorbed, Meikyō still put away the Ama-no-Ohabari.
Because he could sense that a powerful being, strong enough to warrant his serious attention, was approaching him.
"This power..."
Meikyō clenched his left fist and threw a punch forward.
Even now, with his current strength, Meikyō's ordinary punch is enough to destroy a mountain. Now, by using certain techniques to restrain this punch, which is enough to destroy a mountain, within a certain range, he can crush the dust again.
The wall shattered, and the next moment, a monster more than ten meters long, with a body resembling both a snake and a dragon, roared and flew towards Meikyō, colliding with his fist once again.
Meikyō took three steps back.
The monster, which resembled both a dragon and a snake, also pulled its head back and shrank away.
Finally, the smoke and dust dissipated, and a giant over fifty meters tall slowly walked towards them through a huge hole in the wall.
The monster that looked like a dragon and a snake was one of his arms.
Monster King, Orochi!
He had horns on his head, cracks on his face, and long, serpentine Dragon Snake that resembled his arms coiled around his body.
"Orochi... Your Majesty... Save me..."
The Suction Demon, barely clinging to life after being drained by the Ama-no-Ohabari, reached out to the Orochi and murmured.
The Orochi did not answer, but instead extended Dragon Snake from its shoulder, grabbed the Suction Demon in front of the Meikyō, and then opened its seemingly multi-layered maw and swallowed it whole.
The Orochi's calm expression changed slightly.
He could sense that the energy contained in the blood of this Demon-level monster was somewhat diminished, even less than that of some weaker Tiger-level monsters.
"Did you do this? Scarlet Ninja, in that case, offer yourself up as compensation."
The Orochi uttered a flat, emotionless voice, and then the Dragon Snake on its shoulders stood upright, opening their mouths wide.
Extremely hot breath spewed from the mouths of the Orochi and these Dragon Snake, attacking the Meikyō.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Arrow!
"Wind Style: Divine Wind Net!"
Extremely hot flames, accompanied by a gale, spewed from Meikyō's mouth.
In the Naruto World, the upper limit of the five elemental Ninjutsu is actually only at the peak of the Kage Level. In the One-Punch Man World, it would probably only be able to deal with Demon-level monsters. Even if the Third Hokage at his peak came, Meikyō would probably only be able to go toe-to-toe with someone like Deep Sea King.
Meikyō's Fire Style is certainly very strong, even ranking among the top tier in the history of the Ninja World. In addition, with his current Chakra being stronger than that of the First Hokage, the Fire Style he releases has actually exceeded this limit.
However, in the clash with the Orochi's high-temperature breath, it inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.
Conventional Ninjutsu becomes largely ineffective at the Super Kage-level; techniques like Shadow Clone Jutsu can only be used as supplementary tactics.
"Wow, that's really impressive! Your energy and blood flow so smoothly!"
Seeing that his combined Wind Style Fire Style Ninjutsu had been suppressed, Meikyō nodded in satisfaction.
If Bruce could absorb this guy's life force, his strength should increase considerably, right?
Thinking of this, Meikyō clapped her hands again.
"Wood Release: Wood Style: Forest Creation!"
Countless trees, trailing flames, lashed out from the sea of fire and coiled around the Orochi.
The Orochi remained expressionless, simply controlling the tentacles on its head and the Dragon Snake on its body, which all shot out to engage in battle with Meikyō.
"The location that Little Tatsumaki mentioned should be right here."
The Sexy Futanari slapped the lock off the cell door, opened the door, and saw a muscular figure bound by chains inside.
"Not a hostage, but someone's holding another cute boy captive? Hey! Sweetheart, I'm coming to rescue you..."
The Sexy Futanari took big steps and ran forward.
But the commotion seemed to have elicited a reaction from the people inside.
Suddenly, the Garou raised its head and faced the Sexy Futanari.
The Sexy Futanari paused in his tracks.
"Hero Hunter... Aren't you a member of the Monster Association? How come you're locked up here?"
The Garou didn't answer the Sexy Futanari's question. Instead, he used his strength to break the chains binding him.
Previously, these chains could bind him, but now, having experienced another life-or-death crisis, Garou's strength has increased significantly once again. Even though he is currently in a sleepwalking state, they can no longer restrain him.
"Although I didn't want to hurt cute boys, since you've injured other cute boys in the Hero Association, I'm sorry, Garou!"
The Sexy Futanari clenched his fists as he watched the Garou approaching him.
"Angel Rush!"
"Dark Angel Rush!"
"Angel Vibration!"
Every move the Sexy Futanari made was easily countered by the Garou.
Even while sleepwalking, Garou can still unleash his superhuman strength through instinct.
"Boom!"
The Sexy Futanari's body was blasted more than ten meters away by a punch, embedding itself in the wall, and he coughed up blood.
"An incredible power. Even with my Bristle Armor activated, I still couldn't defend against it..."
Sexy Futanari felt that the Garou at this moment was many times stronger than the Deep Sea King he had encountered before.
The next moment, the Garou sprang up again and charged towards the Sexy Futanari.
A sound like metal clashing rang out, and the Garou's figure retreated again.
At that moment, a tall, muscular, dark-skinned man with muscles like cast iron appeared in front of the Sexy Futanari.
"As expected of an attack launched from superior muscles, Hero Hunter lives up to its name. Even I can feel it slightly. Prisoner, are you alright? I can see that most of your muscles are groaning."
Superalloy Darkshine stared at Garou with his small eyes, while at the same time looking at the Sexy Futanari behind him with concern.
"I'm fine, Kuro. For the sake of those cute boys who were captured by the Monster Association, I'll recover!"
The Sexy Futanari said with a deep affection.
During the previous monster invasion, Sexy Futanari escaped from prison to fight the monsters, and the other monsters from the Monster Association took advantage of Sexy Futanari's absence to kidnap a large number of prisoners from the prison.
Now, filled with hatred for being violated by the Sexy Futanari, those prisoners have taken Monster Cells, turned into monsters, and intend to take revenge on him.
The Sexy Futanari was unaware of all this, still hoping to rescue his "angel wings".
With a series of rapid steps, the Garou moved like a dragon, quickly reaching the front of Superalloy Darkshine. Its hands clapping, like a raging storm, unleashed a continuous barrage of punches and palm strikes at Superalloy Darkshine's body.
"What a powerful attack! But thankfully, there's no attack my body can't defend against!"
Superalloy Darkshine felt that Garou's attack had surpassed that of most Dragon-level monsters.
Since his debut, even when Superalloy Darkshine was hit by Boros in the second stage on the spaceship during the alien invasion incident, he only felt unprecedented pain, but he barely managed to endure it.
However, Garou is currently only in a sleepwalking state, yet he already possesses strength surpassing most Dragon-level monsters. Once he awakens...
"Superalloy Bazooka!"
Following his usual practice, Superalloy Darkshine blocked the enemy's attack with his muscles, then seized the opportunity, gathered all his strength, and punched Garou's body.
"Boom!"
Garou's body was blasted away like a cannonball by Superalloy Darkshine's punch, smashing into the wall and creating a large crater several meters deep, resembling a spider web.
"Who hit me while I was sleeping?"
The Garou shook its head, rubbing its aching chest, then looked at the Superalloy Darkshine in front of it, grinning maliciously.
"I've seen you in the Hero Encyclopedia, S-Class Hero number 11, Superalloy Darkshine. Was it you who fought me while I was asleep and sleepwalking?"
Superalloy Darkshine sensed something was wrong.
The guy in front of him gave him a very special feeling.
It was a feeling that was completely imperceptible in terms of depth. The Superalloy Darkshine could only be sensed by two types of people: one type was ordinary people with very little strength, whose gap with him was too great, so his perception was automatically blocked; the other type was people whose strength was far above his.
In the past, only Tatsumaki and King gave him this feeling, and later it was Scarlet Ninja, Boros and Saitama, who were also considered by Superalloy Darkshine to be stronger than himself.
And now, the Garou gave him the exact same feeling...
"Boom..."
Everything around seemed to be trembling, like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
Underground, a thousand meters deep.
Saitama wore a goofy expression as he sat with King in a minecart, descending the tracks.
In front of them was a strange man with two horns on his head and a large eye.
Eye Guy, a low-level monster, is a monster so weak that it doesn't even reach the Wolf-level. Its only ability is to emit light from its eyes, and it can also use the horn on its head as a switch to adjust the brightness of the light, which can replace a large flashlight. It can even adjust the warm or cool tone of the light.
The main reason for this situation is that King, as an ordinary person, is Fudō, so the two of them captured a living monster as a guide and looked for a means of transportation, so they got on the minecart.
King was terrified by the enormous pit in the mine and the increasingly bumpy minecart moving forward. His King Engine roared continuously, and he gripped the edge of the minecart tightly with both hands.
Saitama, on the other hand, still looked like a complete goofball.
"It's exactly like riding a roller coaster when I was a kid!"
