Gloribas's killing intent surged: "Seeking death! I'll dissolve you along with..."
[Ding! Detected extreme killing intent and super rage from Gloribas, Emotion Points +70,000!]
His words came to a screeching halt.
Because King moved.
King simply took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and casually swung it toward Gloribas's insect-like face.
The movement even appeared somewhat "slow."
In Gloribas's perception, however, that fist was expanding infinitely, sealing off all space for evasion; the air in front of the fist was compressed to the extreme, letting out a strained shriek!
"What?!"
Gloribas was horrified, the muscles beneath his carapace instinctively tensing to their limit.
He crossed his arms in front of his face, and his nozzles subconsciously sprayed his strongest acid in an attempt to intercept!
The torrent of acid collided with the fist.
Then, as if hitting an invisible and absolutely immovable wall, the acid instantly surged backward!
The fist pierced through the acid and lightly imprinted itself onto his crossed arms.
Time froze for a single frame once more.
The next moment—
BOOM!!!!!
Gloribas's thick carapace, which was sturdy enough to withstand naval cannon fire...
Along with the muscles, bones, and internal organs inside, exploded into a cloud of blood mist the instant that weightless fist made contact!
Splatter—
The blood mist and debris splashed against the walls and ceiling of the rear corridor, making a wet, sticky sound.
King retracted his fist and shook his hand.
"Tsk, disgusting."
Just like Saitama, who had just blown Melzargard apart with one punch.
Having blown Gloribas apart with one punch, King's hand was likewise stained with filth.
Moreover, Gloribas smelled even worse than Melzargard!
The corridor fell into a brief silence.
Only Zombieman's skull remained on the ground, its mandible opening and closing with a "clack-clack" sound, as if clapping.
"Impressive."
"Thanks, King."
"But could you make your move a bit earlier next time?"
"I won't die, but being dissolved until only a head is left is still quite a hassle."
At his neck, granulation tissue had already begun to writhe frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
King ignored him, his gaze fixed deep within the corridor.
Saitama scratched his face: "Why did that guy just now smell so bad?"
"Do you want to go back and take a shower first?"
"No need, I'll wash up after the fight. Let's keep going."
King's voice drifted back; he had already started walking again toward the depths of the corridor.
That massive, violent aura, brimming with battle intent...
Like a lighthouse in the dark, it was becoming clearer and clearer.
And King could also feel an inexplicable sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
The emperor engine accelerated slightly because of it.
Thump!
