"If you're really a powerful hero, then stop me!" Asura Kabuto raised his right arm and pointed directly at Allen.
Allen watched Asura Kabuto, who had entered Asura Mode, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He slightly curved his lips: "Are you finally serious?"
"Be careful, Senior! His aura has surged several times over!" Genos shouted nervously, his detector blaring wildly.
Dr. Genus lay on the ground, a Jax light flickering in his eyes: "Hahahahaha! Finally! Finally, I'll see the limits of human evolution!"
Meanwhile, Saitama's pupils trembled violently, and he was covered in sweat. Asura Kabuto's words reminded him of an extremely cold truth.
If this guy's strange state was going to last for a week, ending next Saturday? Didn't that mean… today was Saturday's supermarket big sale!
"Ooooh—! Let us fight to our heart's content!" Asura Kabuto roared and charged towards Allen, his speed several times faster than before.
Allen's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately used Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist to counterattack. Their figures moved at high speed within the laboratory, each movement creating terrifying sonic booms, and the shockwaves from their colliding fists and feet caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the walls.
"Die, die, die, die, die, die, die…" Asura Kabuto's attacks became increasingly frantic, even forcing Allen into a passive defense for a time.
But as time passed, Allen's responses became increasingly effortless. The maddened Ashura couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
Because Asura Kabuto's fighting style was too primitive, Allen had completely analyzed it, understanding every single move he made, leaving no secrets whatsoever.
"How is this possible! How is this possible!!!" Dr. Genus seemed to have all the strength drained from his body, slumping powerlessly to the ground.
Asura Mode actually couldn't do anything to him! Although the young man inflicted limited damage on Asura Kabuto, as time passed, Asura Kabuto was bound to lose!
(PS: In the official radio drama Genos's Special Training, Zombieman endured seven days of beating from Asura Kabuto, and finally counter-killed him when the opponent ran out of stamina. This indicates that after activating Asura Mode and shedding his carapace, his defense was not high, and could even be said to be very low.)
Allen looked at Asura Kabuto, who had no new moves, and gradually lost patience. He had played enough.
Allen disengaged all defenses, stood still with his hands in his pockets, and faced the countless fist shadows assaulting him without panic. He simply said indifferently: "The game is over."
"Die, die, die, die, die!" Asura Kabuto roared as he charged.
Just as his fist was mere millimeters from Allen's nose, his eyes erupted with dazzling crimson light, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"Psychokinesis full power! Stop!"
An invisible force instantly erupted, halting Asura Kabuto's movements in mid-air, unable to advance an inch, as if time had paused.
Although Ashura's fist was only a finger's width from Allen, under his extremely terrifying Psychokinesis, that finger's distance felt like an entire galaxy.
Allen slowly walked in front of Asura Kabuto, raised his right hand, and gently tapped his forehead with his fingertip, his tone full of pity: "Vanish."
Asura Kabuto's muscles suddenly trembled violently, and his massive body emitted sounds of cracking under the strain.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Asura Kabuto's body exploded from within. Flesh and some kind of liquid splattered everywhere. Allen had already formed a barrier with his Psychokinesis in front of him, blocking all the filth.
The moment Ashura exploded into a mist of blood, the alert in the laboratory disappeared, and the deep red space reverted to pure white.
Only the slowly spreading green liquid on the floor proved that an arrogant being who called himself a perfect Rookie had once existed here.
[Ding! Asura Mode evolution condition complete! Evolve now!]
[Ding! Detecting that the host has defeated a Dragon-Level Monster for the first time, the shop is now open! The host can use traverse points to purchase all abilities of defeated enemies and complete evolution directly!]
"What kind of power is this?" Dr. Genus's eyes widened, watching the scene before him in disbelief.
Genos's mechanical eyes flashed with golden light: "Although Psychokinesis is a factor, why can such slow movements cause such terrifying destructive power to the enemy?"
Saitama was pacing anxiously beside them. Allen-kun, why was he still showing off! If he kept showing off, they would miss the big sale!!!
"Allen-kun! It seems we're going to miss today's supermarket big sale!" Saitama shouted anxiously, his bald head covered in fine beads of sweat.
"What! This is truly a miscalculation!" Allen cried out, holding his head, looking extremely annoyed.
"Who exactly is this young man? What is he talking about?" Dr. Genus looked at Allen, who wasn't happy despite defeating Asura Kabuto, filled with doubt.
"My teacher and Senior should be concerned about this." Genos handed the flyer to Dr. Genus, then turned and rushed towards Saitama and Allen.
"Teacher, Senior, closing time is 10 PM."
"It's only a four-hour one-way trip for us. If we hurry, we can still make it."
"We can still make it if we hurry, right?!" Allen and Saitama said in unison.
"Yes." Genos nodded.
"Let's go, Genos! Our training mission is to get the special-priced vegetables from the aunties and uncles!" Saitama and Allen simultaneously punched through the laboratory and ran outside.
"Yes! Teacher! Senior!" Genos maxed out his power just to barely keep up with their pace.
Dr. Genus held the flyer Genos had given him, wanting to see what people like them, who had completed their evolution, cared about, and if what they cared about was the key to human evolution.
"Saturday-only big sale promotion." Dr. Genus read the words on the flyer with a trembling voice. He angrily crumpled the flyer into a ball and threw it on the ground, but then he smiled with a sense of relief.
Dr. Genus had always hoped for humans to evolve into highly capable species. These two were undoubtedly Rookies who had completed their evolution.
Even with immense power, they maintained their true selves and did no evil, instead worrying about trivial matters in daily life. Wasn't this precisely the goal he had always wanted to achieve?
What was there left for him to be conflicted about now?
"So that's it… Is this what it's like after evolution?" Dr. Genus slumped to the ground, a bitter smile on his face.
"The thing I've always pursued was right in front of me all along."
"I'm the one who needs to change." Dr. Genus watched the three figures rushing away for the special-priced vegetables, a smile unconsciously forming on his lips.
