Chapter 396: World Destroyer – Saitama
"Give that guy… to me!"
Tatsumaki's anger, accompanied by Mental power that similarly shook the spirit world, made Kageyama Shigeo feel a sense of sorrow as he sensed that terrifying superpower, comparable to his own power when he fully unleashed the suppression in his heart.
Humans are fragile and sorrowful creatures, always susceptible to emotional whirlpools, whether it's himself or Tatsumaki.
No matter how powerful an Ability User, they cannot escape the shackles of being Human.
Or rather, the root of that power is precisely this instability and insecurity inherent in humans.
Kageyama Shigeo raised both hands, Mental power roaring, barely managing to withstand the Mental power storm, preventing the spirit world from collapsing again.
"No one attacked your sister…"
He sensed the movements within the spirit world and finally felt no probing power, so he spoke to explain.
But Tatsumaki grew even angrier.
"So, you can still sense my sister's existence, right…"
Her hair stood on end, the green glow almost engulfing her form; the excessively powerful Mental power made her heart pound unusually fast, a feeling she had never experienced before welled up within her.
It turned out she, too, had limits…
Tatsumaki was a naturally powerful raw gem, an unpolished jade that would become crystal clear with just a little carving. Ever since she slightly awakened her ability, she had never encountered any opponent.
She didn't need to learn any superpower techniques; superpower was like an instinct to her.
She didn't need to do any superpower training; with a wave of her hand, she could crush Dragon-level monsters, and with a bit of effort, she could twist cities.
In this world, there was little she couldn't do.
She had never encountered anyone who required her to use her full power to defeat, except for the Monster Association battle, she had not even faced any effective resistance.
At this moment, Tatsumaki, in a healthy state, for the first time wanted to unleash her full power while perfectly fine. She knew someone had attacked her sister.
She began to lose perception of Fubuki's location, as if Fubuki had been erased from the world, and if she hadn't constantly used her Mental ability to self-suggest.
She probably would have forgotten her sister's existence by now.
Tatsumaki's expression was as dark as water; her sister was her inverse scale. No matter who did this, she would never let them off the hook.
"Calm down, Tatsumaki, the angrier you are, the closer you get to their goal…"
"Don't become like me."
Kageyama Shigeo's tone was sorrowful. He, too, had been consumed by emotion, even after sensing the intentions of those people, simply because he couldn't control his feelings.
Ultimately, an irreversible tragedy occurred.
"Ha~ Are you lecturing me, kid…"
Tatsumaki floated forward within the spirit world. The green superpower light around her, in the black and white spirit world, spread out like dye, quickly staining the surroundings green.
She was learning, the so-called "Mental ability."
Even Kageyama Shigeo's type of power, if she wanted, she could still learn it. She could become as powerful as him in this world!
Her voice exuded intense malice, and her spirit became even more invigorated.
The next moment, she twisted her hand.
Kageyama Shigeo's massive body was instantly controlled by an invisible force. The two entered a direct contest of strength, and chaotic light began to spread from the black and white world.
The indestructible terrain of the spirit world also began to change, and time and distance became chaotic.
Tatsumaki flew high, pressing her hands down, slowly suppressing Kageyama Shigeo.
"Don't think I'm some crying half-baked product like you!"
Tatsumaki roared, her aura instantly overwhelming Kageyama Shigeo. She had already understood in her childhood that only she could be relied upon, and only power could save everything.
"Want me to fall into darkness?"
"Fine… Then let them be prepared for everyone to die in exchange!"
At this moment, a colossal emerald demonic shadow appeared behind Tatsumaki. Kageyama Shigeo felt her terrifying power and even more resolute will, finally realizing what he lacked…
If he had possessed such resolve half a year ago… then even if the people of Diaowei City suffered misfortune, not everyone would have met with tragedy.
He could have at least… that guy…
"Tatsumaki, go protect your sister while you still have a chance…"
He suddenly shrunk, and the space of the spirit world began to twist and overlap. In an instant, countless distances seemed to stack between him and Tatsumaki.
Kageyama Shigeo envied Tatsumaki's strength and decisiveness. Such an Ability User might even have a chance to change her own future…
He abandoned his plan to kill her. At least, before killing those two people, he didn't need to fight Tatsumaki to the death.
Tatsumaki tore with both hands, and the overlapping space began to peel back layer by layer. She could sense that the one who had hidden her sister's existence had briefly appeared in the spirit world when she chased him in.
She was unwilling to give up that trace.
Bang, crack!
A crisp breaking sound, as clear as a piece of glass being shattered.
Sunlight suddenly shone into this dark spirit world, becoming colorful and drifting within the spirit world.
Not just sunlight, but also wind and sand, and the unique heat of the desert, all appeared with the shattering of the spirit world.
A familiar bald man suddenly appeared in Tatsumaki's sight.
He was wearing a comical, simple hero uniform, with an old-fashioned cape draped over his back.
"Oh, why are you here too, kid?"
Tatsumaki's overwhelming anger suddenly vanished at this moment, as if with the shattering of the spirit world and the entry of sunlight and sand, something else, equally unstoppable, had burst in.
She blinked, not having time to scold this bald man for calling her a kid again, when she saw a beautiful woman behind the bald man, disheveled but with an anxious expression.
That was her overly "rebellious" sister!
Kageyama Shigeo, who was about to turn and leave, suddenly froze. He turned his head and saw the bald man in the yellow jumpsuit standing at the boundary between the desert and the spirit world with an unfamiliar expression.
His eyes were lifeless, not showing the eager demeanor Kageyama Shigeo remembered.
Nor could he sense any trace of power from him.
But… there was no mistake, this was that guy!
This was the man destined to destroy the world…
"I must…"
Buzz!
The black and white spirit world suddenly began to vibrate. The distorted buildings began to dissipate one by one, and loud, fearful shrieks of "Spirits" came from the depths of the spirit world.
But Kageyama Shigeo no longer cared about those.
His sanity rapidly began to decline. The "???" hidden within him, which he had overly suppressed and ultimately transformed into an unspeakable power, surged rapidly.
"Kill you!"
The spirit world suddenly contracted. The next moment, Tatsumaki instantly fell out of the spirit world, and a giant black hand rose from beneath the spirit world's ground, as if the entire spirit world together was clenching Saitama in its grip.
—
"Your Eminence, even if you can erase Fubuki from Tatsumaki's perception, Tatsumaki might not necessarily turn dark. How exactly will the Black King Plan be executed…?"
Mu Shuren still didn't understand how the Black King Plan was to be carried out.
Destiny Eternal sat in the room, looking down and playing with a handheld game console. He generously explained the valuable information.
"The true meaning of 'Black King' is the King of a world that has lost everything."
"In this world, only that one person is truly qualified to be the Black King."
"I never said that the Black King, who lost the world, necessarily had their world taken by us Reincarnators…"
"Some people will destroy it themselves~"
