Chapter 182: The Gaze of a God
This time, Sonic's speed was far greater than before.
Even though Nyan sensed the fatal strike, his body could no longer react in time.
Having lost his claws, he could not even counterattack. He could only watch as the sword swept toward his neck.
The edge passed cleanly through.
Nyan's head flew.
Even at the moment of death, he never imagined he would die so suddenly.
Inside the sword, the system notification rang in Asuramaru's mind.
[Ding! Intense negative emotions detected from Dragon level Monster Nyan before death. Gained 130,000 emotion points!]
[This kill obtained 65,000 Demon Power. Fifty percent will be fed back to the Sword Master.]
As the system notification faded, Sonic's body received another enhancement.
Nearby, Gouketsu finally arrived.
His leg swept out in a full power whip kick, tearing through the air with a violent roar.
But Sonic vanished from where he stood.
In the next moment, he reappeared at Gouketsu's side and repeated his previous trick.
Another strike aimed straight for a vital point.
Gouketsu had already been on guard.
He immediately raised his right arm to block.
But against Asuramaru, especially with Sonic's arm strength amplified, that defense was not enough.
The sword sliced through skin and muscle.
Sensing the power behind the strike, Gouketsu forcefully swung his arm sideways, guiding the sword to slide along his flesh rather than cutting deeper.
His left fist followed immediately after.
Sonic had already vanished again.
Seeing this, Gouketsu did not hesitate.
He slammed both fists into the ground.
In an instant, the ground shattered.
A violent shockwave spread outward, carrying loose stones and broken concrete with it.
The formation of the nearby sword fragments was disrupted at once.
Watching the battle through her surveillance, Psykos immediately reported back to the Monster Association.
"Lord Orochi, Gouketsu needs support."
Her voice was heavy.
"Nyan is dead. Only Gouketsu remains, and he is barely holding on."
Seated upon his throne, Monster King Orochi looked down at the gathered Executives with an expressionless face.
"Who among you wishes to support him?"
His cold voice echoed through the chamber.
For a moment, none of the Executives stepped forward.
They had gathered to overthrow the Hero Association. As for the lives of other Executives, none of them cared much at all.
However, several of them were clearly interested in the sword in Sonic's hand.
In the end, a few Executives stepped forward.
Without wasting words, they headed straight toward Gouketsu's location.
On the surface, amid the ruins, Gouketsu was breathing heavily.
For the first time, he truly felt helpless against Sonic.
If it were only speed, he could handle it.
But Sonic combined extreme speed with free control over sword fragments, and he could teleport to any fragment's location.
Against that kind of opponent, even Gouketsu's martial arts had fallen into disadvantage.
After all, no matter how powerful his techniques were, they meant nothing if he could not hit his opponent.
If this continued, he might really die here.
At the same time, within Asuramaru's perception, three powerful auras suddenly appeared.
Clearly, three more Executives from the Monster Association had arrived.
Without hesitation, Asuramaru warned him.
"Sonic, three more Monsters are heading this way."
"Three more?"
Hearing this, the corners of Sonic's mouth curled upward.
He had already decided.
He would kill every Monster that appeared here.
But first, he had to finish off the one in front of him.
Once his mind was set, Sonic's attacks became even fiercer.
When the three Monster Association Executives arrived, their identities were revealed.
Fuhrer Ugly.
Black Sperm.
Homeless Emperor.
The moment the three reached the battlefield, they saw Gouketsu standing amid the ruins.
His body was covered in wounds. He had already lost his left arm, and one of his eyes had been blinded.
Opposite him, Sonic held his sword in one hand and turned his gaze toward the newcomers.
Even in such a tense situation, Black Sperm, whose entire body was short and pitch black, pointed at Gouketsu and mocked him.
"What's this? You lost because you can't use martial arts after losing one hand?"
His tone was full of sarcasm.
"Oh, famous martial artist."
Gouketsu clutched the wound where his arm had been severed. His expression did not change.
"Enough with the sarcasm."
His four eyes remained fixed on Sonic.
"Psykos should have already informed you of his abilities."
"We knew before we came."
Homeless Emperor stood behind the others, dressed like a beggar and looking rather inconspicuous.
After all, his physical ability was no different from an ordinary human's. If anyone got close to him, he would be as good as dead.
Even so, he had still come.
The reason was the sword in Sonic's hand.
As for the ugliest among the three, Fuhrer Ugly, his bloated body carried a face hideous to the extreme.
When he saw Sonic's handsome appearance, his already twisted face became even more grotesque.
"This guy's face is really irritating."
His voice was thick with malice.
"I can't help wanting to smash it."
Four Dragon level Monsters had gathered here.
The moment Asuramaru saw Black Sperm, he knew the idea of killing all these Monsters was no longer realistic.
After all, once Black Sperm completed his final fusion, he would possess peak Dragon level strength.
Asuramaru did not waste words.
"It's time to go."
His voice rang in Sonic's mind.
"You are not a match for these four Monsters right now."
Although Sonic liked to talk back, he trusted Asuramaru deeply.
Since Asuramaru had clearly said they could not win, Sonic naturally would not continue staying here.
He looked at the four figures before him, then calmly sheathed his sword in front of them.
With his arms crossed, he spoke coldly.
"The next time we meet, I will kill all of you."
With that, he prepared to leave.
Gouketsu seemed to realize something and hurriedly asked, "You said that if we can defeat Saitama, you will join us. Correct?"
"That's right."
Sonic gave a firm answer.
Then he activated Flying Thunder God and vanished from everyone's sight.
"What the hell?"
Black Sperm's expression twisted.
"He threw out tough words and just ran away? You loser ninja!"
His body split instantly into countless clones of the same size.
They scattered in all directions, searching outward with the battlefield as the center.
Seeing that Sonic had already left, Homeless Emperor also lost interest.
But just as he was about to turn around, his consciousness suddenly sank into stillness.
It was as if he had received a summons from a certain existence.
A vast and boundless plain appeared before him.
Homeless Emperor stood there and looked up at the sky.
What appeared before him was a humanoid lifeform so enormous that its height could not be measured.
Its body was covered with countless circular holes.
The moment Homeless Emperor saw it, he prostrated himself on the ground.
"God."
The so called God had given him a second mission.
Seize Asuramaru from Sonic's hand.
Homeless Emperor knelt on the ground and vowed with devout reverence.
"I will definitely seize Asuramaru for you!"
