Chapter 230 : Sykes
Terrible Tornado, who had been hovering in mid-air, keenly caught that name.
Her emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and her previously playful expression instantly vanished.
In its place was a clear look of displeasure and irritation.
"Tch."
Terrible Tornado pursed her lips.
"What the hell... Did that guy beat me to it again?"
She muttered to herself, her voice filled with unconcealed frustration and annoyance.
Ever since that S-Class Hero meeting, an unnamed fire had been burning inside her.
KING?
She won the previous bet, didn't she?
Since she won the bet, it should be natural for her to always surpass KING in terms of strength and achievements.
But what was the result?
That guy had secretly slipped ahead of everyone, facing the so-called "God" alone without anyone knowing.
This made her slightly unhappy—no, extremely unhappy.
Therefore, as soon as the Hero Association's strike team began their operation, she didn't hesitate for a moment, slaying her way down from the surface.
She did this precisely to get ahead of everyone and personally eliminate the so-called Monster King, using his head to prove that she, Terrible Tornado, was the ultimate trump card against all disasters!
She would not be inferior to KING in any aspect!
Yet, in the end, that guy with the three scars still got there first.
This feeling was truly infuriating.
However, annoyance aside, business had to be handled.
Since the greatest threat was gone, the scheming mastermind currently playing tricks no longer had any reason to exist.
Terrible Tornado's gaze fell back onto the pile of rotten flesh on the ground, her eyes now holding only cold killing intent.
"Your trump card is gone, so this clown's performance of yours should also come to an end."
The moment she finished speaking, she made no unnecessary movements, merely moving her mind.
*Pchhh—*
The puddle of flesh on the ground, composed of Gyakusatsu's remnants, along with the massive eyeball, was instantly crushed into powder by psychic power.
Having dealt with the irritating puppet, Terrible Tornado slowly turned around.
Her emerald green eyes seemed to pierce through the thick alloy floor and layers of rock, accurately locking onto a spot deep underground.
"You don't need to tell me. I've already determined your location, you rat hiding in the shadows."
A cold curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Just as Gyakusatsu had shouted "KING" through the detached eyeball, the violent emotional fluctuation completely exposed Psykos's true location to Terrible Tornado's psychic senses!
1,500 meters underground!
"Get out here!"
Terrible Tornado shouted, no longer holding anything back!
*Rumble—!!!*
A terrifying psychic force, several times larger than before, erupted skyward from her petite body!
The emerald green light flared brightly, illuminating the entire space with an intense jade hue.
This power transformed into an invisible giant hand, fiercely tearing through the control room floor and countless rock layers, plunging down towards the depth of 1,500 meters underground!
... 1,500 meters underground.
In a laboratory hidden deep within the rock layers.
This was Psykos's true hiding place.
Pale blue energy patterns flickered on the surrounding walls, and countless precise instruments were running steadily.
In the center of the lab, a woman wearing a high-slit black dress, possessing a stunning figure, and sporting black-rimmed glasses, was slumped in a control chair, her face ashen white.
She was the true brain of the Monster Association, the planner of all the schemes—Psykos.
The scene she had just witnessed through the detached eyeball, and the shock of the Gyakusatsu puppet being instantly annihilated, had severely damaged her mind.
Monster King Orochi, the ultimate life form she had poured her heart and soul into creating, expending countless resources—had he truly died just like that?
Without even a shred of decent resistance?
Killed so casually by that man, the man hailed as the strongest man on earth—KING, without making any noise at all?
This reality had virtually destroyed all her plans.
"Damn KING, did I still underestimate him..."
Psykos muttered distractedly, her eyes bloodshot.
However, before she could recover from the massive shock, a terrifying Intimidation descended suddenly from above!
"This is bad!"
Psykos's pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs on her body instantly stood on end!
She could feel a psychic power, too immense to describe, tearing through thousands of meters of rock layers and grasping toward her laboratory!
It was Terrible Tornado! She had found her!
The shadow of death instantly enveloped her entire body.
But Psykos was, after all, a schemer capable of plotting the downfall of human society.
At the critical moment of life and death, her fear-ridden mind instead erupted with a trace of ruthlessness and determination!
"Want to catch me? It won't be that easy!"
She violently grabbed a specialized container filled with dark purple viscous liquid from the control panel and drank it without hesitation!
"Gulp!"
As the potion was injected, a painful groan escaped Psykos's throat.
Her body began to convulse violently, and she collapsed heavily onto the floor.
Veins beneath her skin bulged like earthworms, and her beautiful eyes instantly became bloodshot.
This was the final trump card she had prepared for herself—the "Limit Amplification Potion."
A potion capable of boosting psychic power intensity several times, or even dozens of times, in exchange for burning life force!
"Ahhh—"
Under the stimulation of the potion, a psychic force several times stronger than before erupted wildly from Psykos's body!
Almost simultaneously, Terrible Tornado's "giant hand" of psychic power had torn through the final layer of protection above the laboratory!
*Boom!!!*
Two massive streams of psychic power violently collided within this cramped space 1,500 meters underground!
All the instruments in the laboratory were instantly ground into dust by the terrifying energy clash!
The sturdy alloy walls were also instantly ripped apart!
"Get... back up there!"
Psykos's eyes were blood red.
She gathered all her exploded power into a dark purple psychic barrier, desperately holding back the emerald green "giant hand" descending from above!
For a moment, the two forces actually reached a brief stalemate!
"Oh?"
Terrible Tornado above let out a soft sound of slight surprise.
She could sense that the strength of the resisting force below was completely different from when it was controlling Gyakusatsu.
"So she was hiding this little trick," Terrible Tornado said, a curve forming on her lips.
"Burning life force in exchange for temporary power? Interesting."
She commented softly, her tone sounding neither complimentary nor mocking.
"Since you want to play so badly, I'll humor you for a bit!"
The instant she finished speaking, the emerald green psychic light surrounding Terrible Tornado surged again!
The psychic giant hand, which had been briefly held back, suddenly increased several times in size and Intimidation!
1,500 meters underground, Psykos's newly established confidence instantly vanished.
She realized with horror that the power she had gained by burning her life force was still no match for the opponent's even more terrifying strength!
*Crack—!!!*
The purple psychic barrier she maintained with all her strength lasted less than a second before letting out a crisp sound and cracking open.
Following immediately were the second and third cracks... The fissures spread rapidly, covering the entire barrier!
"No... Impossible..."
