In the darkness, someone was there!
Han Sen's eyes instantly sharpened like knives, and he immediately cleared his mind and entered a state of alert.
"Keen perception."
A cold, hoarse voice came from the darkness, accompanied by the faint sound of carapace rubbing, as a tall, muscular green figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
"As expected of the promising newcomer Great Eyes mentioned. It seems his judgment is as good as ever."
[Monster: Bug God]
[Disaster Level: Demon-level (Upper)]
[Ability 1: "Insectoid Physique (SR)": A powerful physique, possessing the astonishing strength and speed of an insect, capable of super-high-speed movement and close-quarters combat.]
[Ability 2: "Iron Wall Armor (SR)": Tough flesh and carapace, a powerful defense like an iron wall.]
[Ability 3: "Molting Liberation (SR)": Sheds skin to grow six new arms and wings on the back, with a large number of spikes appearing on the body's carapace, thereby transforming the entire body into a weapon.]
[Ability 4: "Six-Arm Consecutive Strikes (SR)": High-speed combo in Molting Liberation form, capable of easily destroying steel with powerful attacks.]
The system panel popped up in due course, but even without these informational prompts, Han Sen recognized the newcomer.
In the original work, Bug God was a Demon-level combatant of the Monster Association who teamed up with Cutting King to capture Garou, possessing extremely formidable strength and a two-stage transformation ability.
Although after transforming, he was brutally killed by a single slap from "Superalloy Darkshine," the human physical hero No.1 under Saitama.
But it's undeniable that Bug God was almost the ceiling of Demon-level Monster combat power!
"Bug God," Han Sen said in a deep voice, seeing that the other party did not immediately attack, "What are you doing in my territory?"
"Oh? You recognize me, that saves me the trouble of introducing myself."
Bug God casually tossed the cloth bag he was carrying on his shoulder at Han Sen's feet. The bag landed with a dull thud, and the contents inside seemed to be wiggling slightly.
"Great Eyes asked me to send you something, and also, he asked me to tell you—'I still have use for those low-level Monsters, they can't be killed off so easily,' that's roughly what he said, right?"
"And by the way… as a senior, I'll impart some necessary rules to a newcomer."
He twisted his neck and clenched his fists. The insect arms covered in carapace suddenly swelled with bulging muscles as he clenched his fists!
His narrowed eyes, like a top predator discovering its prey, revealed a murderous intent!!
"Hehe… you don't have to thank me~ After all, this process might be accompanied by some pain. I hope you can survive it."
Looking at the cloth bag still trembling slightly at his feet, Han Sen already knew what was inside.
Monster Cell!
Judging by the time, it should be the new week's quota.
It seems Psykos hasn't forgotten her promise, which makes things easier!
"Tch… rules?"
Han Sen sneered. The crimson patterns, like molten lava, suddenly lit up on his dark Spike Armor. A scorching heatwave blew away the dust, and the powerful aura, far exceeding that of an ordinary Demon-level in its normal state, erupted with a roar!
"Here… my rules are the rules!!"
Upon hearing this, Bug God's expression froze.
His scythe-shaped mouthparts clacked together, sparking, and a disdainful snort escaped his mouth.
"Hehe… interesting."
Tch—!
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp, piercing bang echoed in the air!
What followed was a green afterimage, carrying a tearing wind, shooting towards Han Sen!
Boom—!
Amidst an equally deafening explosion, a dark lightning bolt entwined with crimson patterns streaked through the dark nest, flashing and disappearing!
The next second, two fists, one black and one green, both covered in hard carapaces, collided head-on, and the resulting shockwave caused cracks to appear in the wide nest's rock wall!
In the rising dust, the two figures simultaneously flew backward due to the recoil.
However, Bug God merely swayed, taking two steps back before regaining his balance.
Han Sen, however, made five shallow pits in the rocky ground before stopping his retreat!
Just one exchange, and the victor seemed to be clear!
Crack—!
Bug God was about to praise the junior's strength, but his expression instantly froze!
Out of the corner of his eye, the arm guard on his right arm, which had clashed with Han Sen, had a clear crack!
The next moment, a piercing pain arrived late!
Bug God's eyes widened in disbelief. His carapace had been certified by Great Eyes; its iron-wall-like defense was enough to withstand attacks from ordinary Dragon-level Monsters!
Now, it had shattered in the first exchange with a junior!?
"How is this possible…!"
"Eat shit, senior."
Han Sen, having regained his footing, shook his slightly numb arm from the clash. A faint smirk appeared on his deep, grotesque dark faceplate.
"Reflect damage armor, ever heard of it?"
The dark spikes flashed with a metallic, deep luster. Han Sen's Spike Armor actively swelled and cracked, and streaks of cyan cyclones erupted from the armor's seams!
Vast life force burned into every inch of his muscles, and a terrifying phantom of a giant beast seemed to appear behind his dark figure!
Overgrowth!
Ferocious Beast Body!
Swift Wind!
As each of the SSR abilities' inherent enhancement buffs fully activated, Han Sen's already formidable aura surged again!
The terrifying values, surpassing the disaster level, began to show. His figure instantly blurred, disappearing from his original spot!
At this moment, all of Bug God's disdain vanished, and his Demon-level upper combat instincts instantly maxed out!
Bang—!
His raised elbow barely managed to block a high-speed strike that came from his left like a phantom. Bug God's almost instantaneous high-kick counterattack, however, only kicked through a blurry black afterimage!
Bang bang bang bang bang—!!
Punch! Knee! Elbow smash! Wrist lock! Side kick! Headbutt!
This set of top-tier combos, seamlessly connecting normal attacks, transformed into a storm of dense offense under the super-standard strength and speed boost, displaying pure violence!
In the dark nest, the sounds of fists hitting flesh, carapaces constantly shattering, and sharp air-splitting sounds from high-speed movement were incessant!
Han Sen's high-speed combo, with no technique and all raw power, was completely unreasonable. Bug God only managed to resist for less than ten rounds before completely devolving from barely holding on to being a one-sided punching bag!
His arm carapace shattered inch by inch, and his torso armor was cracked in multiple places. His chest was even caved in by a fierce knee strike!
Bug God, whose jaw was struck by an uppercut swung from the darkness, let out a muffled grunt. His slightly floating body was then met with a desperate, full-body front kick, like a runaway train!
The terrifying force erupted from the shoulder spikes, which acted as a ram. Bug God's bulky body, over two meters thirty tall, was like being hit head-on by a high-speed train, turning into a green cannonball that slammed into the rock wall deep within the nest, embedding deeply into it!
Rumble—
The ground trembled, and shattered rocks collapsed.
Han Sen's territory was once again subjected to a small earthquake, but the Monsters remaining there were already accustomed to it.
Ever since they got a new boss, similar commotions happened several times a day.
If there wasn't an earthquake one day, they'd actually feel a bit unaccustomed…
