Armored Gorilla, on the other side, still didn't know that Beast King had already gone to heaven. Even after being defeated by Genos and lying on the ground, he was still talking tough.
"Don't you guys get cocky... My strength, in the House of Evolution... is merely the third rank."
"With your level of attack, it's impossible to defeat the second-ranked Lord Beast King! Just wait to be torn to shreds, you foolish guys!"
Just then, Saitama walked over, wearing his iconic yellow and red battle suit, and pointed to the lower half of Beast King's remains not far away, "Are you talking about that?"
Seeing this, Armored Gorilla fell silent, then immediately put on a fawning expression.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'll confess, I'll tell you everything! Please, don't kill me! Just now... I just felt the atmosphere was right, and it would have been inappropriate not to act tough..."
Lin Mo twitched his lips, "He's surprisingly honest."
------
House of Evolution Headquarters.
"Impossible! The unit meant to eradicate old humans was completely wiped out..." Dr. Genus, dressed in a suit, looked at the screen with an expression of disbelief.
"According to Armored Gorilla's report, King and the other two are heading this way," a clone in a white lab coat reported, looking at the large screen.
"If they come, all our past achievements could be destroyed in an instant. Damn it, they're forcing me to play my trump card..."
"At this point, there's no other choice... Prepare to release 'Asura Kabuto'!"
"Boom—"
The name was like a bombshell, exploding throughout the control room.
All the clones instantly turned pale, their faces showing deep fear.
"No, Doctor!" a clone shouted, "You absolutely cannot release him! That guy is a complete monster!"
"Exactly! His mental state is extremely unstable; once he loses control, this place will be leveled!"
"But, besides him, what else do we have to contend with a Dragon-level existence like King?"
..."Everyone calm down!" Dr. Genus yelled, stopping the chattering clones. "This is only a last resort. First, set countless traps on the first to eighth floors underground. As for the rest, we'll have to see how things play out..."
The scene shifts.
Lin Mo and his group had already arrived in the suburbs of Z-City. Armored Gorilla, fearing being blasted to dust with one punch, spilled everything without even needing interrogation.
Lin Mo clutched his chest, panting heavily.
To keep up with Saitama and Genos's inhuman speed, he had almost risked his life.
Fortunately, he had already raised his three basic stats to 50; otherwise, he would have surely collapsed on the way.
"We're here. This is the House of Evolution's coordinates provided by Armored Gorilla," Saitama said, looking at the eight-story building in front of him.
Genos, a man of few words but decisive action, threw his hands back, and the core of the Incineration Cannon in his palms suddenly lit up with dazzling light. After charging, he pushed his hands forward.
"Incineration Cannon!"
In an instant, raging flames directly engulfed the entire building. The air was scorched and twisted, emitting a piercing wail.
As the flames gradually receded, the building that had once stood there had vanished without a trace, leaving only a huge crater and a scene of utter devastation.
"Hey... what was that for?" Saitama stared blankly as Genos obliterated the headquarters with a single move.
He had originally wanted to fight his way up, floor by floor, like in the game King gave him, and finally confront the boss.
He couldn't reach the final boss in the game (he actually got stuck in the first few levels), but that couldn't possibly happen in reality, right?
"I believe this is the best way to wipe them all out," Genos turned around, his expression as serious as ever, and answered honestly.
While Saitama was still sulking over his ruined "gaming experience," Lin Mo's eyes were drawn to an anomaly in the ruins.
He walked to a metal door whose upper structure had been blown off in the explosion and said, "Hey, it's not over yet. There's still a path here."
With that, he grabbed the handle on the door, exerting all his strength, and forcibly pulled open the incredibly heavy special alloy door.
"Hiss—"
How could a broken iron door be so heavy? Lin Mo rubbed his aching arms. He then jumped down, following Saitama and Genos.
------
At this moment, a massacre was taking place underground, and the scent of blood permeated the entire subterranean space.
A terrifying creature of immense size, two stories tall, was wantonly unleashing its fury.
Its appearance resembled a rhinoceros beetle magnified countless times, its body covered in hard brown carapace, muscles bulging, exuding explosive power.
He was the House of Evolution's ultimate weapon—Asura Kabuto!
Asura Kabuto casually blasted the clones who were firing at him into smithereens, then looked at Dr. Genus, who was walking towards him, with a mocking expression.
"Damn it, I'm the House of Evolution's strongest fighter, yet you kept me locked up here." His words seemed angry, but his tone was nonchalant.
"We had no choice; your mental state is unstable, so we could only keep you contained here."
Dr. Genus's face was grim; he always considered Asura Kabuto a failure, possessing immense power and intelligence but utterly devoid of morality.
"It doesn't matter if you kill me, there are many clones anyway," Dr. Genus opened a projection, pointing at Saitama and the other two, and said to Asura Kabuto:
"You want to fight, don't you? These two are very formidable opponents..."
------
"Wow, this underground area is quite spacious," Saitama looked around, his interest rekindled. "It's exciting; it feels like a maze."
Lin Mo quietly walked at the very back, deliberately letting Saitama and Genos walk in front of him.
Are you kidding? Asura Kabuto is at least a mid-Dragon-level terrifying monster.
He'd rather stay further back, lest he accidentally gets grazed and turns into dust.
"Rumble!"
Heavy footsteps suddenly echoed in the passage. Before anyone could react, a huge brown figure appeared before them as if teleporting!
The newcomer was Asura Kabuto! He was still clutching Dr. Genus, whose face was covered in blood, in his right hand.
"Bang—!"
Genos didn't have time to react before he was struck by Asura Kabuto and slammed into the wall.
"Whew..." Seeing this, Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat in fright, and cold sweat instantly broke out. "Good thing... good thing I stood far enough away."
After instantly defeating Genos, Asura Kabuto casually tossed Dr. Genus aside and cackled maniacally, his face contorted. "My name is Asura Kabuto. The outside is too small; I can't really stretch out."
"There's a laboratory specifically for combat here. Let's fight there."
"You dared to turn Genos into modern art... Then let's fight. It just so happens, I also feel a bit itchy to fight." Saitama's expression became slightly more serious.
