Chapter 87 - Tatsumaki's Dire Situation

"To actually split the surface and pull the entire Monster Association up—how spectacular." A mocking expression appeared on Psykos's face.

At this moment, she was only temporarily merged with Orochi, suppressing his consciousness. However, her power had received a terrifying boost, and she didn't take Tatsumaki, who was right in front of her, seriously at all.

'As expected, she's continuously absorbing energy through the roots.'

Tatsumaki observed that Psykos-Orochi's tail remained connected to the underground, it was obvious she was continuously absorbing energy from the Earth's core.

'In that case, as long as I cut her off at the root, she'll become quite weak.'

Just as Tatsumaki prepared to launch a Psychokinesis attack, she realized that Psykos had already locked onto her tightly.

"Do you still not understand even now? In terms of power, I have already completely surpassed you."

Tatsumaki's pupils constricted as intense energy surged out from Psykos's hands.

Energy Cannon!

...

"Get down!"

King immediately shielded Child Emperor, who was beside him. At this moment, Child Emperor's high-tech backpack had malfunctioned, leaving him with no combat power.

Rumble!

The terrifying attack pierced through half the planet, shaving off half the atmosphere and triggering a massive tsunami.

"This kind of power... Is this really a Dragon-level monster?"

A trace of hesitation appeared in Child Emperor's heart. His reason told him that the monster before him was absolutely undefeatable.

After the shockwave subsided, Tatsumaki's figure appeared. Aside from losing a sleeve, she looked unharmed, which made Child Emperor breathe a sigh of relief.

'Such powerful strength—it's definitely not something that could be obtained from a fusion. Where exactly does it come from?'

Tatsumaki was also shocked by Psykos's attack and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Give up. I am the one chosen by God, you are simply no match for me. I will devour Earth and become its new will." Psykos's eyes were filled with longing.

The moment she merged with Orochi, she saw God and received its power.

'It really is Divine Power.' King stroked his chin.

If he had known sooner, he would have tried to fuse with Orochi when he was underground. He might have been able to obtain the power bestowed by God.

"King, please take action and help Tatsumaki. I can feel how powerful the enemy is." Child Emperor spoke up.

Currently, the greatest threat from the Monster Association was right before them, and the only one who could oppose it was King.

"That's exactly what I intended."

Just as King prepared to move, several familiar figures suddenly appeared before him.

"Genos, Bang and Bomb?"

King was surprised to see the arrival of Genos and the others.

Child Emperor was overjoyed. "Demon Cyborg, Silver Fang, you're here. That's great."

"I have to settle the mess I created myself." Bang sighed with emotion.

He hadn't expected that he, an S-Class Rank 3 hero, would actually be excluded from such an important battle.

"I'm sorry, this was all my idea." Child Emperor lowered his head in shame.

Bang and the others didn't mind at all.

"It's not your fault, it was indeed my own soft-heartedness. However, I will personally put an end to Garou." Bang smiled slightly, indicating his understanding.

"The remaining members in the Monster Association are all Dragon-level executives. I'm afraid the other S-Class heroes are already locked in bitter battles. I'll leave the rest to you." King said with a serious expression.

"Are you going to deal with that big one?"

Genos looked up at the sky where Psykos-Orochi was locked in a fierce battle with Tatsumaki.

At this moment, his parts had been upgraded, and his strength had reached a new level. However, he knew that with King around, an enemy of Psykos-Orochi's caliber should be left to him.

"Yes."

Thump-thump! Thump-thump!

The deafening King Engine resounded all around, and everyone instantly perked up.

"King, have you seen Garou in the Monster Association?" Bang asked with deep concern.

He was worried that Garou would completely turn into a monster. If that happened, he would have no choice but to kill him.

"I have. But you need to be mentally prepared, he has already undergone Monsterization. But you don't need to worry, he hasn't joined the Monster Association and remains an outlier."

"However, if you still intend to go easy on him or be careless, you definitely won't be a match for him. His growth rate exceeds your imagination." King warned Bang solemnly.

Garou had likely already started his Monsterization, and his immense strength probably already surpassed the current Bang.

"I understand. Thank you, King." A look of gratitude appeared in Bang's eyes.

He thought that King had intentionally spared Garou to leave the final battle for him.

After all, given King's strength, dealing with Garou should have been easy for him.

"I'll leave this place to you."

Bang!

King's body was enveloped in blue light as he shot straight towards Psykos-Orochi.

"Is this Psychokinesis? I've never seen King use it before."

"He really is full of hidden depths. Where exactly is his limit?"

"King's strength is something we can never fathom."

Everyone exclaimed in succession, they had absolute trust in King.

Psychic Throw!

Swish... Swish...

In the sky, Tatsumaki used Psychokinesis to manipulate countless giant boulders and hurl them at Psykos-Orochi.

Boom... Boom...

Several dragons emerged from Psykos-Orochi's body, and the shockwaves spewed from their mouths instantly shattered the giant boulders.

Psychic Storm!

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Countless beams of light formed a tornado, enveloping Psykos-Orochi.

"Everything about you is within my grasp... Hm?"

Psykos suddenly realized that Tatsumaki had disappeared, and immediately after, a voice sounded from within her body.

"Your body is unexpectedly empty."

"What?!"

Psychic Crush!

Bang... Bang...

Psykos-Orochi's massive body twisted, and countless amounts of blood sprayed out.

"As expected, is the inside this fragile?"

Tatsumaki's figure appeared. At this moment, Psykos-Orochi's body had become tattered and broken.

'I have to save all the members of the assault team.'

The reason Tatsumaki entered Psykos-Orochi's body was because she sensed that some heroes were trapped in the structure at the tail end.

Bang....Bang...

The figures of Puri-Puri Prisoner and Atomic Samurai were forcibly dragged out.

Tatsumaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn you!"

Pfft!

A huge spear pierced through Tatsumaki's palm. Just as her other hand was preparing to use psychic power to counterattack, it was pierced by another spear.

"Aaaah!"

The intense pain made Tatsumaki scream, and the defensive shields on the other heroes disappeared.

"How dare you try to play tricks on me! In a moment, I'll take you and your sister together and let you both taste my fury!"

At this moment, blood was streaming down Psykos's face, her expression extremely terrifying, while the body belonging to Orochi was rapidly recovering.

The giant mouth on Psykos-Orochi's chest began to condense a terrifying energy fluctuation, firmly locking onto the immobilized Tatsumaki.

"Go to hell!"

Boom!

The energy ball shot out, and it looked like Tatsumaki was about to be reduced to ashes.

Hero's Heart activated! First Layer Liberation! Second Layer Liberation!

Ten Thousand Punch Barrage!

Rumble!

Ten thousands punches shattered the energy wave, and Psykos-Orochi's newly restored body was once again torn to pieces.

"King, who told you to interfere! This is my fight!"

Seeing that the newcomer was actually King, Tatsumaki was instantly fuming with rage.

"This thing's strength has already surpassed Dragon-level. It must be dealt with as quickly as possible, otherwise Earth won't be able to hold out." King spoke with a calm expression.

He was helpless against Tatsumaki's stubborn and competitive personality.

"Hmph! I don't need you to tell me that. Whether it's Dragon-level or God-level, I'm enough on my own."

Tatsumaki had a proud expression on her face, but inwardly, she was still extremely shocked by King's strike just now.

'To be able to reach this level with just a single blow? He deserves the title of the Strongest Man on Earth.'

At this moment, Tatsumaki's view of King began to slowly shift, and it was even mixed with a hint of gratitude.
