Chapter 183: My Name Is Ancient King
At the same time, deep underground beneath the Ghost Town of City Z, Psykos had also witnessed everything that had happened through her clone.
A human who could grow stronger by slaughtering Monsters.
That alone was enough to make him an unignorable disaster for the Monster Association's future plans.
They had to act before he reached a level where he could no longer be suppressed.
He had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
After a brief moment of thought, Psykos already had a strategy in mind.
That man would most likely continue searching for Monsters within the Ghost Town. Although she was not entirely certain whether his growth came from that strange sword, that did not stop her from spreading the information.
If she used the sword as bait, there would certainly be powers willing to cooperate.
For example, the Ninja Village.
And the Organization behind the Machine Gods.
Both would surely be interested in that sword.
Thinking of this, Psykos immediately informed Monster King Orochi of her plan.
After receiving his approval, she summoned Machine God G5, who was also within the Monster Association, and began discussing possible cooperation with the Organization behind it.
Meanwhile, Sonic had already appeared in front of Saitama's apartment.
In an inconspicuous corner, he left behind his unique Flying Thunder God Mark.
Only then did Sonic slowly stand up.
The purple armor on his body faded away, and he stood in the hallway, murmuring to himself.
"It seems those Monsters are gathering to plot something incredible."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Are they planning to overthrow the world?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the plain, ordinary rental apartment in front of him.
Sonic felt nothing but contempt for the Monsters' ambitions.
However, after this battle, he finally realized his own shortcomings.
He had been too single minded in pursuing the growth brought by slaughter, and because of that, he had forgotten to refine his techniques.
Without much hesitation, Sonic asked inwardly, "Asuramaru, do you have any sword techniques suitable for me?"
"A sword technique suitable for you?"
Asuramaru pondered for a moment.
Then he decided to teach Sonic Thunder Breathing, the style that fit him best.
When the knowledge of the sword style surfaced in Sonic's mind, Sonic quickly made his decision.
"Next, I should leave the Ghost Town. Those Monsters will definitely be searching everywhere for me."
But before leaving, Sonic took a few steps forward.
Then he knocked on Saitama's door.
Knock, knock, knock.
After a series of knocks, the door opened.
The person behind it was Genos.
The moment Genos saw Sonic, he immediately raised his hand.
"What are you doing back here, stalker?!"
That shout also caught the attention of the three people inside.
Only then did Sonic notice that besides Saitama and that woman, the so called King of the Hero Association was also here.
But Sonic did not care.
His expression remained cold as he spoke.
"I only came here to warn you."
He looked past Genos and toward Saitama inside the room.
"There is a Monster Association in City Z. They are planning to overthrow the world."
Then Sonic's gaze sharpened.
"Saitama, you're a hero, aren't you? I'll leave those guys to you for now."
His voice turned arrogant once more.
"I'm leaving for a while. When I return, it will be your funeral."
Inside the sword, Asuramaru almost failed to hold back his laughter.
He had come to the door with such an aggressive aura, only to shift the trouble onto someone else.
Aren't you all looking for Sonic?
Then Sonic will simply tell Saitama about the Monster Association and let him go out to find you.
Let's see who finds whom first.
The Monsters had suddenly become the prey.
"Eh?!"
Inside the room, Saitama hurriedly stood up, wanting to say something.
But Sonic's figure had already vanished from the spot.
Even after he left, the atmosphere inside the rental apartment did not calm down right away.
King had already made up his mind.
He definitely would not be coming back here for a while.
Fubuki, who sat opposite him, was considering whether Sonic's information was credible, and whether she should report it to the Hero Association.
Unlike the two of them, Saitama only had one thought in his mind.
When he had free time, he really needed to go out for walks more often.
Meanwhile, after traveling alone for a full day, Sonic arrived in the deep mountains near City Z and began cultivating in solitude.
He held his sword with both hands and honed his swordsmanship.
At the same time, he practiced the Breathing Style with growing proficiency.
By the third day, Sonic had comprehended his own Breathing Style.
Breath of Darkness.
He also successfully developed his own sword forms.
However, right as he was training, the forest around him began to tremble violently.
Sonic leapt onto the canopy of a nearby tree.
From there, he saw it.
A burly humanoid tyrannosaur, hundreds of meters tall, was slowly walking toward him.
Each step shook the forest.
Its voice rumbled as it advanced.
"I have waited too long for this moment, humans!"
The giant Monster's crimson eyes burned with ancient arrogance.
"We of the Dinosaur Clan shall rule this planet once more!"
"A Monster?"
Sonic's eyes immediately sharpened.
"Perfect. I'll use this guy to test my Breath of Darkness."
His figure flashed.
In the next moment, he vanished from the treetop without a trace.
At Sonic's waist, Asuramaru looked at the dinosaur and felt a trace of confusion.
According to the original story, this guy should have been resurrected in a glacier.
Even if that place was not terribly far from here, why had he been able to walk all the way to this mountain?
Had the plot changed because of Asuramaru's interference?
Unable to figure it out, Asuramaru decisively asked in his mind.
"System, what's going on?"
The system immediately answered.
[Ding! Because you have interfered with too much of the plot, the world has shifted, causing deviations in the world timeline. Various uncertain situations may occur.]
Hearing the system's explanation, Asuramaru pondered briefly before asking, "Then doesn't that mean Boros could descend to Earth at any moment, or maybe never come at all?"
The system gave an affirmative answer.
Then, as usual, it followed with its persistent sales pitch.
[Ding! It does not matter. Give me one million emotion points, and even if Boros runs to another world, I will take you to find him.]
Listening to the system's unchanged sales pitch, Asuramaru fell into a brief silence.
Outside, Sonic had already arrived on the path the humanoid tyrannosaur was taking.
Facing that giant head on, cold killing intent erupted from his eyes.
Locked onto by that killing intent, the humanoid tyrannosaur seemed to sense something.
It lowered its head slightly and saw the tiny figure that had suddenly appeared on the ground.
Looking down at Sonic with crimson eyes, it spoke in a booming voice.
"Though I know not who you are, listen well."
The giant's voice rolled through the forest like thunder.
"I am the Ancient King, the ruler who once led the ancient dinosaurs!"
Perhaps because of the memories Asuramaru had transferred to him, Sonic's expression suddenly changed.
He gripped the hilt of his sword and asked in return, "Tell me, what kind of King did you say you were?"
"Did you not hear me, little shrimp?"
The humanoid tyrannosaur looked down at Sonic with complete indifference.
"I am the Ancient King!"
It raised its right foot and stomped down fiercely.
At that moment, Sonic drew his sword from its scabbard.
Pitch black shadows wrapped around the edge.
His voice was cold.
"Breath of Darkness, Fourth Form."
The darkness moved.
"Four Shadow Burial!"
