Chapter 76: The invitation from Carnage Kabuto
A mountainous area in the suburbs of City Z.
Under the leadership of the armored gorilla, Bane and his crew successfully arrived at the House of Evolution.
On the surface, this place seemed unremarkable, with only an ordinary building of several stories, but in fact, this ground building was a cover—the core area of the House of Evolution was underground.
In the original story, this building didn't play any role at all. Genos came over and blew it up with a single shot. Then they found an underground entrance under the ruins and went in to meet Dr. Genus.
This time it was completely different. Bane came here to "visit" the House of Evolution, and he didn't intend to destroy it.
"The doctor is upstairs," said the gorilla after opening the door of the base.
Bane glanced at him and said, "Think it over before you speak. This is your only chance."
The next moment, the gorilla immediately changed his tone and said, "The doctor is downstairs. In fact, the upstairs are all traps. The core area of our House of Evolution is entirely underground. There are several floors. I'll take you there."
At the same time, Carnage Kabuto had been unsealed and had killed many clones of Dr. Genus. His bloodthirsty desire had been activated.
After Carnage Kabuto calmed down a little, Dr. Genus approached and started communicating with him.
"Kabuto, how have you been these days?" Dr. Genus asked, trying to remain calm.
At this moment, in front of him, a huge monster in the shape of a rhinoceros beetle was easily tearing off the shackles on his body one by one.
"Nothing good or bad," Kabuto said mockingly.
After a short pause, his expression immediately turned ferocious, and he approached Dr. Genus with an extremely intimidating presence and said, "How dare you—you actually locked me, the strongest fighter in the House of Evolution, deep underground."
"There was no choice. Your mental state is too unstable and we can't control you," Dr. Genus said in a deep voice.
"Control me?" Kabuto said with a fierce smile. "Hey, don't get me wrong. I am the perfect form of the new human being you're pursuing. I am a higher being than you. You should listen to me!"
Faced with such a challenge, Dr. Genus remained silent. After a moment, he didn't argue with Kabuto , but changed the subject and said, "Time is urgent. There are some things I want you to hear. It doesn't matter even if you kill me. After all, I have as many replacements as I want."
Kabuto, who had originally been preparing to kill Dr. Genus, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? What do you want to say?"
"There is a specimen that I really want to get my hands on, but that guy is very powerful. All other creations have failed. Only you can defeat him, and he's here now." Dr. Genus was about to explain the current situation.
However, Kabuto had no interest at all. He only heard the comment "the opponent is very strong." At the same time, he seemed to sense something, and the smile on his ferocious face became more intense.
"Indeed, they are coming. There are four of them, and you only want one, right?" said Carnage Kabuto
"Give me the best one," said Dr. Genus.
"Which one do you want most?" Kabuto didn't give the doctor any chance to negotiate.
Hearing this, Dr. Genus gritted his teeth and said, "The bald one!"
"Okay, I will kill the rest!" said Kabuto with a sinister grin.
As he finished speaking, he had already smashed the prison door and disappeared into the depths of the corridor.
At the same time, at the end of the dark corridor, Zoro suddenly said, "Here he comes!"
Bane smiled and said, "What a strong aura!"
That's right—at this moment, an extremely powerful presence and murderous intent could be felt in the corridor. The other party's unconcealed attitude undoubtedly represented his extreme self-confidence.
The next moment, the figure of Carnage Kabuto rushed out from the shadows of the corridor. His eyes flashed across Bane, Zoro, Genos, and Saitama, and then he determined that the bald Saitama would stay, while the rest could be killed directly. He didn't intend to say anything more, his feet kept moving, and his figure rushed directly at the four people.
Genos immediately moved to resist, but it was useless. Carnage Kabuto was too fast. He elbowed Genos instantly, and the powerful burst of force made resistance impossible. Genos was blasted directly into the reinforced wall next to him, and his mechanical body, which had just been repaired, was immediately damaged again.
After defeating Genos with one blow, Carnage Kabuto didn't stop at all and locked onto Zoro as his second target. In his rapid charge, he suddenly braked and plowed two grooves in the solid metal floor with his feet. At the moment of stopping the charge, he kicked Zoro hard.
With a bang, lightning exploded, and Zoro's entire body burst into an indigo stream of light. Obviously, he had turned into his elemental form!
However, Kabuto was unaware of this situation. Although he was a little confused about the person in front of him who had exploded into sparks, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he changed targets again and locked onto Bane.
It happened so quickly. In fact, from the time he attacked Genos to when he blew up Zoro, it only took a moment. The speed was astonishingly fast.
A punch filled with strong murderous intent hit Bane mercilessly. At the same time as he threw the punch, Kabuto's eyes were already on Saitama. After all, he didn't think anyone could catch his punch.
With a bang, violent airflow swept through the narrow corridor.
Kabuto also stopped moving. His gaze, which had originally been directed toward Saitama, turned to the end of his arm with some confusion.
His punch, which was full of murderous intent, was caught with one hand by the man he thought was finished just now.
"Your strength is pretty good, but it's just pretty good. If you want to kill me, you'd better get more serious," Bane said with a smile, gripping Kabuto's fist with one hand.
The power of this attack was very strong, but it still wasn't as strong as the giants' power. However, Bane knew very well that this was just a casual attack by Kabuto. He wasn't even taking it seriously, not to mention that he also had another mode.
"Interesting!" Kabuto said with an excited look on his face.
He originally thought there was only one worth fighting, but he didn't expect there was another one?
This was really a pleasant surprise. He hoped it could bring enough fun to his boring life!
Genos, trapped in the wall, looked at this scene and became more certain that Teacher Bane was indeed very powerful!
At the same time, Zoro's figure also walked out from the dispersing lightning completely intact. He looked at Kabuto with some excitement, as if he really wanted to fight him.
"Hmm?" Kabuto was a little confused when he saw that Zoro wasn't dead. After examining Zoro, he said with a little disdain, "I don't know what's wrong with you, but you're still going to die."
Zoro looked a little unhappy when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it because he could also sense that Kabuto was indeed extremely powerful.
With no intention to kill Zoro again, Kabuto puffed out his chest and said arrogantly, "My name is Carnage Kabuto Beetle, the highest combat power in the House of Evolution. I heard that you two are very powerful? There's a good battle room here. Let's go there and have a proper fight?"
"Can you compensate me for my TV?" Saitama suddenly asked.
Kabuto stared blankly.
But just when he was confused, Dr. Genus finally arrived. He said breathlessly, "As long as you can beat him, I can compensate you for your TV or your house!"
Saitama was in high spirits now and clapped his hands, saying, "Let's go!"
Bane said, "Hey, let me try first."
Although he had just acted cool by catching the heavy punch from Kabuto, in fact, Bane had no confidence of winning against him. It's just that there weren't many opportunities to fight against such a strong opponent. Especially now that he had Saitama to back him up, he wouldn't be killed here.
So he really wanted to fight with Carnage Kabuto.
"Indeed!" Kabuto nodded, looked at Bane and said, "You are much weaker than him. I will kill you first, then kill him!"
Even though he hadn't fought Saitama yet, he instinctively felt that Saitama was very strong! And Bane wasn't bad, but for Kabuto, he was just "not bad."
