Chapter 493 God Has Descended?
One Punch Man world.
House of Evolution.
The light of a magic circle appeared.
Ayato's figure emerged from it.
Seeing this, Sumire quickly stopped what she was doing.
"How is the research on limiters going?"
Ayato pulled over a chair, sat down, and spoke with a light laugh.
Sumire thought for a moment, then said, "There has indeed been some progress, but achieving true results will probably take time."
As she spoke, she had already compiled a document and came before Ayato, handing it over.
[Origin: 3005]
[Origin: 3615]
[Origin: 3771]
Ayato flipped through the document with one hand while patting Sumire's arm with the other, smiling. "Just reading the document is quite boring."
Sumire rolled her eyes at him, but crouched down like a little kitten.
"Hiss..."
Ayato inhaled and began to focus on reading.
"M-master... how is this?"
Sumire looked up, her eyes silky.
"Let's first talk business."
Ayato stroked Sumire's head, a smile playing on his lips.
"???"
Sumire blinked.
Good grief.
Now he wanted to talk business.
Wasn't that making things difficult for her?
"But I think you could maybe adjust the research direction?"
"Master... mmph... what do you mean?"
"For example, instead of extravagantly hoping for developing a potion that can completely remove the limiter..."
"Rather... raise the limit of the limiter."
"I wonder if that would lower the difficulty of development?"
The so-called limiter... varied from person to person, representing the limit of a species' power.
For example...
The upper limit of an ordinary person's limiter might be ten.
But for Heroes or monsters... the upper limit could be thousands or even tens of thousands.
Sumire busied herself, saying, "M-master... if you put it that way, it indeed could."
Mentioning research, Sumire began to think.
Ayato tapped her head. "Don't get distracted."
Sumire: "..."
He was really hard to please.
Dozens of minutes later.
Sumire wiped her mouth and said, "Master, I'll go get busy now."
"Mm."
Ayato nodded.
Suddenly, Ayato's expression froze as he looked into the distance.
There...
An extremely powerful force had descended.
"Finally making another move."
Ayato's eyes lit up slightly.
This power...
He seemed to have encountered before.
This should be the so-called... God.
"Since you've appeared, I need to go see you."
Inside the base.
An aged-looking old man in a white research coat was constantly fiddling with instruments.
He was Dr. Bofoi.
Very few people knew this name.
But his true identity was the S-class rank 6 Hero, Metal Knight.
"Just a little more... almost done."
Dr. Bofoi murmured to himself, his eyes growing brighter.
No one knew how long passed.
He turned his head.
Looking at the life pod not far behind him.
Inside, Boros's figure floated within.
"But this side... is a bit troublesome."
Dr. Bofoi looked at Boros, a troubled expression on his face. "Indeed, having only obtained a bit of flesh and blood cells..."
"Cloning an alien of this level is truly difficult."
Although Boros looked quite convincing...
If he tried to use it, it would probably collapse due to genetic instability within a short time.
He now only regretted...
That Boros's corpse had been destroyed far too thoroughly back then.
Otherwise, why would he need to go through so much trouble now?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just then, a series of sounds came from outside, along with the noise of many walls shattering.
Then.
A piercing alarm began to blare.
"An intruder?"
Dr. Bofoi frowned slightly and quickly began to access the surveillance footage.
Under his watch...
Only a figure was seen rapidly breaking through the base at a speed the surveillance couldn't capture.
Wherever it passed...
Countless booby traps, guard robots... were like paper, all broken to pieces.
Rumble!
The heavily guarded metal gate, constructed from the highest technology, collapsed with a roar.
A figure in a school uniform walked in.
Behind him was a pile of scrap metal, within which the outlines of robots could be vaguely seen.
"Mr. Ayato? Why you?"
Seeing the visitor, a flicker of caution appeared in Dr. Bofoi's eyes.
Throughout the Hero Association...
The one who made him fear the most was Ayato.
Because he was far too mysterious.
Leaving him unable to see through or understand.
