"DIE! DIE! DIE—!!!"
The rampaging Asura Kabuto had completely transformed into an embodiment of slaughter. Its massive purple-green body broke through layers of sonic booms, carrying a destructive frenzy as it charged toward Jack—who had transformed into a dark-golden demon god.
Facing this furious charge, the miniature Hyper Zetton that Jack had become erupted with no less speed. The alloy ground beneath his feet instantly twisted and collapsed.
No flashy techniques. No superfluous movements.
The dark-purple fist—wrapped in ear-splitting explosions—violently collided with the bright-and-dark-golden scythe-like forelimbs in mid-air.
*BOOM—!!! *
An indescribable, terrifying shockwave—centered on the point of impact—transformed into a visible white air current and spread wildly in all directions.
This time, Armored Gorilla outside the door changed expression drastically. His survival instinct screamed warnings. He instantly turned, with great caution, picked up the bewildered Mosquito Girl, and burst out with all his might—running away.
Immediately after they left, the passage connecting to the combat space instantly deformed and collapsed under the tsunami-like impact—completely buried by countless rubble.
On the monitors, Doctor Genus and his clones couldn't even observe afterimages—only blurry static caused by the violent vibrations.
The sturdy alloy ground rippled and shattered violently like water thrown with stones, kicking up sky-obscuring dust and a metal frenzy. A strong tremor came from beneath their feet. The entire underground base shook violently under this terrifying collision—as if it would completely disintegrate in the next second.
*CRACK—! *
After countless collisions, the bone-chilling sound of bones cracking clearly and abruptly entered Asura Kabuto's mind.
The seemingly indestructible carapace of its fist shattered inch by inch. Then an irresistible, terrifying force penetrated—instantly destroying the muscles and bones of its entire arm.
The next moment, a furious barrage—surpassing the limits of biological perception—wrapped in destructive dark-golden energy—poured down like a sudden storm.
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG—!! *
Dull and terrifying pounding sounds were continuous. Each impact twisted Asura Kabuto's massive body in mid-air. Each strike exploded dazzling dark-golden light across its form.
Within the combat space, the two Monsters had already become two intertwined storms of destruction. Under successive ravages, the ground had long lost its original flatness. The alloy walls were covered with crisscrossing giant cracks—like the moon's surface bombarded by countless meteorites—pitted and a mess.
"ROAR, AH, AH, AH, AH—!!!"
Asura Kabuto let out a painful, frenzied roar.
Yet—its strength, speed, and defense were as weak as a child's before its opponent. Mercilessly crushed in every aspect. Its extremely powerful berserk body, under the opponent's bombardment, was instantly covered with terrifying, crisscrossing wounds. Its sharp single horn had long since broken off at the base. Its hard chest bones were completely pulverized and collapsed.
"No… I am… the strongest…!"
Hyper Zetton suddenly stepped forward. Its giant foot stomped down hard. Asura Kabuto's distorted head was deeply bent back and embedded into the ground. Its unwilling roar abruptly stopped.
Its crimson eyes reflected the crystal single eye burning with golden flames—no emotion whatsoever. Only indifference toward the weak. Only extreme coldness.
*TEAR—! *
Two blood-soaked, thick arms were severed at the base by the sharp dark-golden scythe-like forelimbs. The severed arms and splashing blood were thrown into the air like trash.
The scythe—gleaming with destructive light—was raised high like a hammer of judgment—and slammed down heavily.
One punch.
Two punches.
The mechanical and cold bombardment gradually transformed into a destructive dark-golden afterimage. The entire combat space became the epicenter of the tremors. The terrifying vibrations propagated to the surface, causing violent landslides and earthquakes. Countless birds and beasts fled frantically in the opposite direction.
*BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM—!! *
The terrifying pounding sounds that shook mountains and moved the earth gradually ceased in the collapsing depths of the underground.
[Killed Dragon-level Monster 'Asura Kabuto' | Gained Origin Points × 94,698!]
…Oh?
Amidst the dust, Jack's eyebrow lifted slightly.
One Asura Kabuto alone yielded nearly 100,000 Origin Points. Compared to a Demon-level Monster's upper limit contribution of about 1,000—this was a huge profit.
A moment later, the dust slowly settled—revealing the hellish scene within the combat space.
The originally flat, sturdy alloy ground had long disappeared, replaced by giant craters of varying depths and twisted metal wreckage. The surrounding walls were covered with shocking cracks and breaches—as if they had experienced an apocalyptic catastrophe.
The massive, grotesque dark-golden demon god slowly straightened up. As the light around its body receded, its giant form rapidly shrunk—instantly returning to the tall figure in the indigo shirt.
Jack, back in human form, dragged a shapeless, massive remains out of the deep pit. The once-arrogant Asura Kabuto had shockingly transformed into a shapeless mass of flesh and shattered bones—not a trace of its original outline remaining.
*RUMBLE—! *
A loud noise came from the entrance of the combat space. Armored Gorilla—clearing the way with iron fists—forcibly smashed a path through the collapsed rocks.
Then, he respectfully stepped aside, revealing a young man in a black shirt and glasses.
Dr. Genus, arriving in person, looked at the apocalyptic scene before him, then at the final biological weapon—completely unrecognizable. His pupils contracted violently behind his lenses.
"Truly… astonishing power."
He pushed up his glasses, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. His tone was complex.
Because he deeply understood Asura Kabuto's terror, he could better comprehend that this man's strength had exceeded his cognitive limits. So-called resistance would merely be inviting humiliation.
Jack grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.
"Just cleaning up some disobedient trash."
Dr. Genus's eye twitched slightly, but understanding filled his heart. The crushing dominance the other party had displayed in battle—and Asura Kabuto's current miserable state—indeed warranted the evaluation of "trash."
"May I… ask how I should address you, sir?"
A scorching white flame ignited in Jack's hand, burning away stains without harming his sleeve.
"No need to be so formal, Dr. Genus. You can call me… Bug God."
"Bug God…"
Dr. Genus chewed on the title, a mix of emotions in his heart. Jack's amiable demeanor seemed like a crucial signal. The tension in Dr. Genus's heart immediately eased slightly.
Fortunately—things hadn't developed in the worst direction after all.
He gently pushed up his glasses and bowed deeply. His posture was humble, sincere.
"Bug God, this place has become a ruin—not a suitable venue for guests and conversation. If you don't mind… would you be willing to move somewhere else, and allow me to speak in detail?"
Jack raised an eyebrow, looking at him appreciatively.
Look at this. This frank acceptance of defeat. This flexible demeanor of a true man. This refreshing hospitality.
This—this is a top-tier villain with both EQ and IQ maximized.
