"Woo…"
Pochi whimpered, tail tucked tightly between his legs, and tried to flee.
But the next second—
A colossal shadow swallowed him whole.
The Asura Giant's iron fist, wrapped in dark radiance, smashed downward without mercy.
Boom—!!!!
The entire L City shook as though struck by a magnitude 10 earthquake!
Centered on Pochi's position, a massive crater—over a thousand meters wide and seemingly bottomless—instantly formed. The shockwave erupted outward in a violent ring, flattening everything along its edge as smoke and dust soared skyward, forming a towering mushroom cloud.
"Woooaaah—!!!"
A miserable, distorted wail echoed from the depths of the crater. Pochi's massive body lay embedded deep in the shattered rock, limbs twitching, blood oozing from his snout. His once-monstrous aura plummeted to almost nothing.
But Kaito's sharp eyes narrowed slightly.
"Not dead?"
Impressive. This beast's vitality and defense surpassed even Centipede Elder's—truly worthy of having survived Saitama's "normal punch" in the original timeline.
The second strike came immediately.
Like a pile driver from the heavens, another massive fist fell.
Rumble—!!!
The ground convulsed once more. The crater deepened and widened, molten rock erupting from its depths as the earth itself groaned in agony.
Pochi's wail turned to a pitiful whimper. His aura weakened to a flicker—yet he still clung to life.
His six crimson eyes were filled with fear, pain, and… bewildered grievance.
"Woof… woof… Who is this?! I was playing so nicely—who did I even provoke?! Just came out of nowhere and gave me two full-powered punches! No martial ethics! It hurts! Mama, I'm scared…"
**Ding!** [Dragon-level monster Pochi has developed extreme fear toward the host. Deterrence Points +2000!]
At the bottom of the pit, the once-ferocious Dragon-level beast now lay curled up, trembling, tail wrapped around his body as pitiful whimpers escaped his throat.
Kaito's expression shifted slightly.
He remembered—
In the original story, didn't this creature have a precedent of being tamed by Saitama?
A canine monster's instinct to obey overwhelming strength… perhaps that could be used.
The 10,000-Meter Asura Giant stilled, his massive hand hovering above the pit.
Kaito's will—cold, commanding, divine—pierced directly into Pochi's panicked consciousness through his Mastered Kenbunshoku Haki.
"Submit… or be annihilated."
Pochi's entire body froze. Then, driven by the primal instinct to survive, he understood perfectly.Without hesitation, the giant beast performed an action absurdly small for its size—but utterly natural for a dog.
He rolled over.
Exposing his soft belly.
His enormous tail wagged awkwardly, submissively.
"Woo… woo… I surrender! Don't hit me anymore! You're the boss! I'll be good! From now on—I'm your dog!"
Inside the Asura Giant's core, Child Emperor and Saori stared in disbelief.
That terrifying Dragon-level monster, who moments ago had been destroying cities, was now surrendering like a scolded puppy?
Pochi's internal grumble echoed faintly: "What? Ever heard 'surrender and lose half'? If I don't surrender, I'll lose my whole life!"
"Very good…" Kaito nodded in satisfaction. "A smart beast indeed."
A Dragon-level enforcer with potential—and now a guard dog under his command. Not a bad addition.
The Asura Giant extended his colossal hand, lifting Pochi gently.
In that moment, the once-mighty monster looked no different from a frightened little pup resting in his palm.
Then—
Boom!!!
The enormous black wings spread wide once more, flapping with explosive force.
Airflow shattered.
The 10,000-Meter Asura Giant turned into a streak of black lightning, streaking toward M City at full speed.
M City — Kaito's Apartment
Evening.
The soft glow of chandeliers shimmered off polished glass and silverware. Fubuki, draped in a white mink shawl, sat gracefully at the head of the dining table. Her slender fingers elegantly cut a piece of steak, the aroma of black pepper filling the air.
"So," she murmured, bringing a morsel of beef to her red lips, her eyes shifting toward the blue-haired woman seated opposite her, "should I call you Sykes now… or something else?"
Earlier that afternoon—while Kaito had been "disciplining"Do-S and Mosquito Girl behind closed doors—Black-Eyed Psykos had revealed everything to her former ally.
Her true identity as a clone of Sykes.
The tangled web of rivalry, affection, and ambition between herself, the original, and another clone.
Now, she calmly set down her utensils, adjusted her glasses, and met Fubuki's gaze.
"You can still call me Sykes."
A faint smile tugged at Fubuki's lips. She caught the subtle meaning in those words—ambition, veiled beneath composure.
This one sought to become the only one.
Swirling the wine glass lightly in her hand, Fubuki leaned back, her emerald eyes gleaming as she pondered the implications of what Black-Eyed Psykos had told her that afternoon.
The other party subtly expressed a willingness to continue serving as her subordinate, as in their student days, to help her solidify her future position as the mistress of the harem.
However, she indeed needed such a helper.
Having spent this time together, she understood King's character all too well.
The frequency of him bringing women home would likely only increase from now on.
To ensure her position as the main consort remained unshaken, she indeed needed a capable assistant who could help her suppress those alluring hussies.
Their gazes met in the air, and they tacitly reached an offensive and defensive alliance.
"Woo… hmm…"
Just then, from behind the tightly closed master bedroom door, Do S's tearful whimpering could be faintly heard.
Fubuki raised an eyebrow and turned to Mosquito Girl, who was devouring her food, saying, "Go let her out. It's time for dinner, and by the way, I also have some things to say to this 'new member'."
"Mmm-hmm!" Mosquito Girl nodded repeatedly, her cheeks bulging with roasted meat, her pink long hair gently swaying with her movements.
She hastily swallowed her food, picked up the maid uniform that had been prepared long ago, and skipped towards the bedroom.
With someone to help with chores, she would have it much easier in this home from now on.
A moment later, the bedroom door opened again.
Do S, dressed in new clothes, was supported by Mosquito Girl, her legs trembling as she walked out.
Although she possessed a rapid healing physique, that afternoon's "special training" had left no marks on her delicate skin.
But the lingering magical damage of "cooling oil + chili oil" was still present, especially when the fabric rubbed against the areas that had been specially cared for as she walked, making her bite her lower lip to suppress a groan.
Fubuki calmly observed this new member.
Do S's iconic chain mask had already been removed by King.
Surprisingly, on both sides of her exquisite face, there were faint scars extending to her earlobes.
However, these two scars not only didn't spoil her beauty but instead added a touch of flawed beauty, further arousing men's desire for conquest.
"Sit down." Fubuki pointed to the end of the dining table, her voice imbued with queen-like authority, "There are some rules that need to be made clear beforehand…"
Do S obediently sat down, looking meek and submissive, like a well-behaved student, quietly listening to Fubuki's lecture.
But in her heart, she was secretly thinking:
"Hmph! This pretentious woman! When this queen finds an opportunity to completely conquer that man, none of you arrogant sluts will escape! You'll all become the most lowly playthings under this queen's whip!"
Do S's mind had already begun to fantasize about tying Fubuki to a torture rack in the future and using her whip, which could inflict painful pleasure, to teach her what true "Queen's Etiquette" was.
However, what she didn't know was that after becoming King's "kin," Fubuki not only made significant progress in her psychokinesis but also awakened a new ability—mind reading!
Do S's little thoughts were as clear as an open book in Fubuki's eyes now.
Hearing Do S's inner thoughts, Fubuki's emerald eyes narrowed dangerously, and psychic energy already swirled at her fingertips.
She intended to give Do S another profound "training session" to make her understand what "not even thinking about it" meant!
Suddenly—
"Boom!!!"
The entire eastern wall collapsed with a roar!
A giant crow with venomous fangs crashed through the wall and rushed in, its sharp beak aiming directly at the women!
