Saitama and King were not found by Tatsumaki because their current situation is somewhat special.
Saitama has been searching for that bag of gold at the bottom of the mine for a long time.
If you can't find the Monster King, then go find the Gold—that's King's suggestion. He's genuinely afraid of encountering the Monster King, in which case he might accidentally meet his end here.
"Oh? What is this black box?"
Saitama searched for a long time before finally finding a black cube-shaped box.
"Um... I don't know, but according to the game's mechanics, this might be some important item that we can use to find the mastermind behind it all."
King shook his head.
Unbeknownst to him, he inadvertently revealed the true answer, even though the mastermind he mentioned was not the same person as the real mastermind.
Now, due to the influence of the black cube box's power, Tatsumaki's Psychic Power are also unable to locate the people located here.
Because now, they are caught between reality and another dimension.
Meanwhile, the mastermind King believed to be behind the scenes was now lying on the ground, coughing up blood in a very pitiful state.
Even though Psykos took the potion and amplified her Psychic Power, she could only barely hold out against Tatsumaki for such a short time.
Fortunately, the current situation is quite chaotic, and Psykos is still able to survive.
"The Scarlet Ninja and the Monster King, what terrifying power they possess! I wonder what about this Tatsumaki the Terrible?"
Homeless Emperor stood on a pile of rubble, raised his hand and summoned countless enormous energy orbs, which he then blasted toward the Tatsumaki.
Fuhrer Ugly grinned as he chased after Sweet Mask; Pig God, with the help of Tanktop Master, fought against Gums, who possessed the same abilities as him; Child Emperor piloted the Brave Giant and fought against Phoenix Man, who had been reborn from the ashes; Flashy Flash suppressed Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame, but Meow's arrival caused him to be suppressed in turn.
"Hmph, even your boss isn't a match for me, and you think you can fight me?"
With a Tatsumaki of her hand, Homeless Emperor's orbs of light in mid-air.
"It's not just me."
Homeless Emperor said to Tatsumaki with a relaxed expression.
The next moment, a huge, six-eyed dog roared to the sky and unleashed a scorching laser cannon at the Tatsumaki.
Pochi, a peak Dragon-level monster!
Behind Pochi, countless Black Sperm raced toward the Tatsumaki, continuing to pour forth even as they were crushed by the Psychic Power.
Three peak Dragon-level monsters are already a threat to Tatsumaki.
"Tsk."
Atomic Samurai reluctantly spat out the toothpick and turned to help Flashy Flash.
Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame are extremely fast, but Flashy Flash's abilities would be more than enough to take them down. However, the cat is more agile and has sharper claws.
As it happens, Atomic Samurai believes that his sword is far sharper than this thing.
"Cough cough."
Psykos took a breath, spat out a mouthful of foul blood, and glanced with apprehension at Tatsumaki, who was single-handedly suppressing three Dragon-level monsters. Then she looked at Meikyō, who was exchanging blows with Orochi.
"Fortunately, Tatsumaki and Scarlet Ninja have been restrained, so there is only one King of the same level left among the enemies. And coincidentally, I have prepared two cards specifically to deal with King. However, the Garou card is probably going to be useless. Fortunately, it still played a significant role."
Psykos turned his head away and looked at another battlefield.
Even with the brothers Bang and Bangp joining forces, they are still being suppressed.
The person who suppressed the two of them was...
"Garou..."
Bang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily, and looked at the Garou in front of him.
"Bang, this guy is even harder to deal with now! He just used not just the Exploding Heart Release Fist, but the Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist that we could only unleash together!"
Bangp's face was solemn as he stared at the Garou and spoke slowly and deliberately.
The two brothers were of one mind. One used the Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist for defense, while the other used the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist for offense. Only by combining the two could they barely stop the momentum of the Garou's attack.
Even so, they all have serious injuries.
But now that Garou can unleash the Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist all by himself, they are probably no match for Garou anymore!
"Garou's strength is probably far beyond that of Centipede Elder. Now that Tatsumaki and Scarlet Ninja are tied up, Onii-chan, we have to fight tooth and nail until a strongman like King comes to our aid before we can have any chance of defeating Garou!"
The Ancient One ripped off his tattered bodysuit and charged at Garou.
Having practiced martial arts for over sixty years, the Banggu and Bangpu brothers have experienced countless life-and-death battles throughout their lives. They know very well that when facing an enemy whose strength surpasses their own, they must rise to the challenge in order to have a chance to survive.
"The Orochi can't hold on much longer."
Psykos surveyed the battlefield and finally focused her attention on the battle between Meikyō and Monster King Orochi.
"It will take some time for the Evil Natural Water to assimilate the ocean. Garou is strong, but his strength is uncontrollable. So, what's next..."
Psykos used her Psychic Power to control herself and flew rapidly toward the Orochi.
Just a second before he was about to touch the Orochi.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A powerful repulsive force swept over, as if to crush Psykos' sexy, fleshy body into dust.
"The Scarlet Ninja... how could he still spare some strength to deal with me while suppressing Orochi?"
Psykos raised a psychic shield, adjusted his Glasses, and looked at Meikyō.
Meikyō opened his Rinnegan and put his outstretched hand back on the stage.
Countless pebbles around them suddenly floated up, shimmering with a bluish-green light, and sped toward Psykos.
"Psychic Power... and they're very similar to the Tatsumaki and Fubuki sisters' Psychic Power. Were they obtained from them through some kind of experimental method?"
Psykos frowned.
Her strength is definitely not bad. Just the fact that she controls Big Eye with her Psychic Power is enough to make those Dragon-level monsters acknowledge her strength. Her Psychic Power are definitely at the Dragon-level. After taking the enhancement drug, she can even go toe-to-toe with Tatsumaki for a short time. Naturally, she can judge the level of Meikyō's Psychic Power.
"When this guy goes all out, his Psychic Power might not be much weaker than Tatsumaki's. Right now, Orochi is holding back most of Scarlet Ninja's energy, but even if he diverts some of his attention to me, he's still capable of defeating most Dragon-level monsters."
Without the slightest hesitation, Psykos immediately took out a test tube from the two watermelon-sized pocket between his chest.
"Luckily, I prepared a second one. If I can successfully merge with the Orochi, its power will be enough to easily help me bear the burden of the potion!"
Psykos put the test tube in his mouth and drank every last drop of the liquid inside.
The next moment, a wave of psychic energy, several times stronger than before, emanated once more.
"Um?"
Meikyō had to divert a small portion of his attention to Psykos, and at the same time use his Observation Haki to Future Sight, using his Psychic Power in conjunction with the repulsive and attractive forces of the Rinnegan to hinder Psykos as much as possible.
"That Scarlet Ninja also has the power to see the future!"
After realizing this, Psykos decisively extended his finger and pointed it at his brow.
She also has the ability to see the future.
Before she turned seventeen, she and Fubuki co-founded the Psychic Power Research Association. Before Awakening this ability, her Psychic Power was inferior to Fubuki's. However, after her Psychic Power erupted, it has now far surpassed Psychic Power 'Fubuki. With this "third eye" ability, she can see what will happen in the future.
"The Future Sight has failed! No, the future that was originally predicted by Observation Haki has been altered!"
Meikyō's face once again showed a look of surprise.
This was the third time he had encountered a situation where his Observation Haki had failed to work.
The first two times that Observation Haki was rendered ineffective were by Saitama and by Boros in his third stage.
"The upper limit of strength in the Pirate World is only at the level of the Admiral Four Emperors. The ability to Observation Haki Future Sight to its peak can play a huge role at this stage. However, as the strength of the opponent increases, the effectiveness of this ability is gradually limited, especially against enemies whose abilities are more inclined to the mental aspect."
Meikyō had anticipated this, after all, the examples of Saitama and Boros were right there in front of him.
Even in the Pirate World, none of those who have reached the level of Emperor are weak in Observation Haki. Even if they are suppressed in Observation Haki, they are not without the ability to resist it.
"Hey! Uchiha Meikyō! Are you alright over there? If not, you can go back and rest after I take care of these two guys!"
Tatsumaki used her Psychic Power to suppress the main Pochi and crush a large number of Black Sperm, then turned around and shouted loudly at Meikyō.
Just now, the Zombie Man who should have been swallowed by the Gums emerged from underground, launched a close-range sneak attack, and subdued the Homeless Emperor, who was just an ordinary person except for being able to release energy orbs.
Now, Tatsumaki feels she should be able to free up her hands soon.
"Tsk, men never say no in front of women, Tatsumaki."
Meikyō shook her head and declined Tatsumaki's offer.
The purple Rinnegan emitted a captivating light, and its immense ocular power surged forth, transforming into howling Amaterasu Black Flame that enveloped the Senju Susanoo Great Buddha.
At this moment, the originally golden Buddha Form transformed into an evil Buddha with raging flames.
"What exactly is this black flame?!"
Psykos looked at the Orochi whose aura was gradually weakening and asked in surprise and uncertainty. Then, she used her Psychic Power to deflect the Susanoo Fists in front of her, which were covered in Amaterasu Black Flame, and found an opportunity to burrow into the Orochi's flesh.
Meikyō's Future Sight Observation Haki failed to work. In addition, given Orochi's enormous size, it wouldn't have been that difficult for Psykos, after taking the drug, to combine with Meikyō's help.
However, Psykos encountered a small problem during the integration process.
The backlash from the Orochi.
Orochi and Psykos are vying for control of the fused body.
However, their bodies can still rely on instinct to resist Meikyō's attacks.
But it is precisely because of this that we can see how powerful the two become after they merge.
"Orochi, you actually dared to defy me? I never expected you to have such a trick up your sleeve. Too bad, I am your creator."
Psykos looked at the tentacles wriggling around him, enveloping his body, and chuckled softly.
In this timeline, Orochi, attracted by the Meikyō, did not suffer the fate of being punched by Saitama and left with only a heart. Therefore, he did not borrow the flesh and blood of most of the monsters in the Monster Association to reconstruct his body as in the original timeline. Psykos's backup plan left in Orochi's body is still there.
Even now, Psykos only fused with Orochi after drinking the potion that greatly enhanced her Psychic Power, making her easy to suppress.
Soon, a long, slender creature with scales covering its body and a snake tail appeared. Its front half had four arms, each holding a spear that had transformed from the tentacles on the top of Orochi's head.
The original tentacles have been replaced by spiraling, shimmering tentacles, and the back of the tentacles has wings resembling fish dorsal fins, making it look both sacred and evil.
Its powerful energy was so great that even Tatsumaki couldn't help but take notice.
"I knew it, these useless guys would just mess things up one by one."
Tatsumaki looked quite displeased. With a wave of her hand, she instantly amplified her Psychic Power output, intending to eliminate Black Sperm and Pochi as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, in order to enhance its combat power, the Black Sperm has fused all 43 trillion of itself into Golden Sperm, greatly increasing its strength. Even someone as powerful as Tatsumaki finds it very troublesome.
After all, even though there were many Black Sperm before, their individual strength was only so-so. Tatsumaki's Psychic Power could sweep away a large number of them with one sweep. But now, this fused Golden Sperm has a physical strength far superior to Superalloy Darkshine.
According to Sweet Mask in the original work, even if most of the S-Class Hero attacked together, they would probably suffer serious injuries and lose several people if they faced Golden Sperm in this state.
In reality, Golden Sperm is not the limit that Black Sperm can achieve.
Good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.
Meanwhile, on the beach on the edge of Z-City, an even more terrifying, colossal creature appeared, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Evil Natural Water!
The Evil Natural Water, now greatly enhanced by merging with the entire ocean!
This is yet another enemy with strength exceeding that of a dragon!
"How could this be... The power of the Evil Natural Water seems to be even stronger than I imagined?"
Inside the Orochi, Psykos sensed the movement on the sea and looked somewhat puzzled. However, the next moment, Psykos looked dazed and suddenly understood why.
"The power of the God... the Will of the Planet, so that's how it is, I understand now."
Inside the Orochi, Psykos's body gradually disappeared and merged into the flesh and blood.
The appearance of the Orochi also changed accordingly.
Its already enormous size changed once more, with Psykos' upper body emerging from the tentacles atop the Orochi's head.
(Psykos-Orochi:)
