"Isn't it big? This is the largest room in the base. Experimental subjects will fight here to test if they can serve as combat power," Asura Kabuto vividly described.
His eyes swept over the two humans in front of him—
One bald man in a yellow jumpsuit with a dull expression, and another... hmm? Why is there also a guy whose face screams, "I'm a passerby"?
Asura Kabuto's gaze briefly lingered on Lin Mo before he automatically classified him as an irrelevant nobody.
"So... which of you two wants to come up and die first? Or... do you want to come at me together and save me some time?" Contempt filled Asura Kabuto's eyes.
Suddenly, a scorching pillar of fire roared from the left, tearing through the air. The high temperature even made the surrounding ground glow red.
However, Asura Kabuto's reaction speed was beyond imagination.
His massive body agilely retreated a step, and the pillar of fire whistled past him.
"Mr. KING, Master Saitama, please allow me to fight it."
After speaking, Genos immediately shot into the sky, his metal right fist carrying a powerful momentum, like a small meteor, smashing down fiercely towards Asura Kabuto's head!
Saitama complained helplessly, "Hey, I haven't even agreed to be your master yet."
"Too slow."
Facing the deadly blow from above, Asura Kabuto merely slowly raised his head, a sneer of extreme disdain appearing on his face.
Just as Genos was about to strike him, Asura Kabuto instantly vanished from his spot.
"Machine Gun Blow."
One attack failed, but Genos was not discouraged in the slightest.
The thrusters on his arms instantly increased in power, and countless fist shadows appeared in mid-air, engulfing Asura Kabuto's entire body like a torrential storm.
"Idiot."
Asura Kabuto didn't even bother to dodge, allowing the dense fist shadows to all hit his brown carapace, emitting a series of "clank, clank, clank" metallic collision sounds.
He endured all the damage and casually swung his hand in return.
Genos's pupils contracted sharply. He only had time to cross his arms over his chest before he was struck hard by this immense force.
He was sent flying backward, drawing a pathetic parabola in the air, and finally, with a "boom," he crashed through a wall dozens of meters away, sending debris flying.
"Damn it, I was careless."
Genos struggled to climb out of the rubble. All his parts were even more battered, and the armor on his left arm was completely torn, intermittently flashing with dangerous electrical sparks.
But he didn't hesitate at all, channeling all his energy into his hands, "Maximum Output — Incineration Cannon!"
A pillar of energy, several times thicker than before and carrying an aura of destruction, surged towards Asura Kabuto.
Asura Kabuto, instead of dodging, took a deep breath, his chest visibly swelling. Then, he forcefully blew towards the incoming pillar of fire.
"Blow it back? Impossible..." Genos's face was filled with shock.
The originally unstoppable fire snake, in front of the airflow blown by Asura Kabuto, became like fragile foam, dissipating to both sides.
Immediately after, the entire energy pillar began to retreat even faster, directly engulfing the caster himself.
Genos — defeated!
At the entrance of the room, Dr. Genus watched the entire battle, muttering to himself with a smug expression:
"This is the most terrifying demon ever created by the House of Evolution. How could you humans possibly defeat it..."
"Dr. Genus, I can call you that, right?"
Lin Mo walked towards Dr. Genus. The moment the battle began, he quickly slipped out, fearing accidental injury.
"Fortunately, Asura Kabuto doesn't seem to care... He probably thinks he's got us cornered..."
Lin Mo secretly congratulated himself, unaware that he had been labeled as a nobody.
"KING!? How are you here!" Dr. Genus's face was filled with shock.
Shouldn't he be over there dueling with Asura Kabuto? And why does he know my name? I clearly haven't shown my face in front of them.
"Just watch, that bug can't beat Saitama." Ignoring Dr. Genus's many questions, Lin Mo confidently said to Dr. Genus.
He couldn't possibly say he hid because he was afraid of dying, could he? He had personally seen Dr. Genus limping over... — — — — — —
In the center of the battlefield.
Saitama also stopped watching. As he walked towards the swaggering Asura Kabuto, he stretched his wrists and said, "Watching those moves really made me itch."
"Don't disappoint me. You're the ultimate weapon here, right? You look different from those guys this morning."
"I can tell, you're very strong," Asura Kabuto said to Saitama with a very arrogant expression.
Then he instantly flashed behind Saitama, his right hand bulging with veins, raised high, poised to strike.
However, just as he was about to throw his punch, Asura Kabuto's expression suddenly changed from arrogance to terror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
He abruptly stopped his attack, his wings on his back spread open with a "buzz," and he flew backward with all his might, landing on the wall.
"If I had attacked just now... I would definitely have been killed!" Asura Kabuto's face was filled with terror.
"What? Asura Kabuto actually retreated?" Everyone present, except Lin Mo, was shocked.
"You... why... what exactly are you? How could you become so powerful!?" Asura Kabuto's voice was filled with trembling and fear.
"Do you all want to know?" Saitama looked at everyone seriously, "Genos, you listen too."
Genos still wanted to stop Saitama, "Master, how can such an important matter be discussed in front of the enemy..."
"One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run, every day!" Saitama seemed unconcerned, adding, "The key is consistency!"
...The field instantly fell into a deathly silence.
A few seconds later, Genos was the first to object, "Please don't joke, that's just very ordinary exercise, and the intensity isn't even high!"
"It's fine if you don't want to say it. Yes, how could something like this be casually told to others?" Asura Kabuto on the side took Saitama's words as mockery.
The anger of being so underestimated and the humiliation of being intimidated by the opponent's aura intertwined, completely igniting his ferocity.
His body began to rapidly expand, muscles growing wildly, and his originally brown skin began to turn an ominous dark purple.
Strange green patterns appeared on his body, and the horn on his head also lengthened again, becoming even more hideous and terrifying.
An extremely violent aura, far surpassing before, swept through the entire room.
"Asura Mode!!"
[Anger from Asura Kabuto, Energy Points +500]
From afar, Lin Mo saw that the time was ripe and enough emotional value had been collected, so he immediately shouted:
"Hey, Saitama, today's Saturday, supermarket sale! We can have hot pot again tonight!"
Saitama's perpetually dull expression suddenly changed, showing an unprecedented urgency.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing sooner? I thought it was tomorrow!"
Before his words finished, he had already thrown a punch.
"Boom!!!"
Asura Kabuto, who had entered "Asura Mode" and was said to be able to destroy everything, was thus reduced to dust under the "Supermarket Sale Punch."
Killed in one punch.
Saitama didn't even glance at the result. He lunged over to Lin Mo, grabbed him by the collar, and rushed out.
"Hurry, hurry! If we're late, all the beef will be gone!"
