"So this is the person you said would join the Monster Association?"
In Gyoro Gyoro's room, the enormously formed Gyoro Gyoro looked at Garou brought over by Qin Chuan, narrowing that single enormous eye, tone somewhat subtle.
"I didn't expect it to be Garou..."
Gyoro Gyoro, or rather Psykos, knew about Garou. When Garou started his hero hunting activities, she had already begun paying attention to this guy who opposed the Hero Association everywhere.
Although Garou was still in human form now, far from being called a monster, because Garou's character fit her "Monster King Cultivation Plan's" required personality very well, she had also paid attention.
It was just that at that time Garou had only just started. His potential hadn't fully manifested, so Psykos hadn't rushed to find him, but wanted to let him grow for a period first.
As a result, during that period, Qin Chuan appeared from somewhere unknown, caused a bunch of trouble in this world, stirring the environment upside down.
Hero Association mass blood replacement, Garou captured and taken away by Fubuki with whereabouts unknown, Monster Association conquered by Qin Chuan—a series of events left Psykos overwhelmed. She had almost forgotten about Garou.
She hadn't expected that just when she had almost forgotten about Garou, Qin Chuan would bring Garou back, then say he wanted Garou to join the Monster Association.
Although Garou was still human, since Qin Chuan was now the Monster Association's decision-maker, whatever he said, Gyoro Gyoro just had to obey. Naturally there were no objections.
However, although Gyoro Gyoro agreed to let Garou join the Monster Association, Garou seemed to have quite an opinion of Gyoro Gyoro.
He stared at Gyoro Gyoro's enormous and somewhat bloated body with unruly eyes, raised an eyebrow, as if provocatively saying:
"Master, this guy is the Monster Association's leader? Looks a bit too weak, doesn't it?"
Gyoro Gyoro's appearance truly didn't look very strong, but actually possessed Dragon-level monster psychic abilities—if it was Garou before being captured, he might not even beat Gyoro Gyoro.
However, the current Garou not only had gained massive strength increases, but had also learned to sense others' strength through "qi."
Under his perception, although Gyoro Gyoro's strength might indeed be respectable, it was still far too distant from himself. Completely didn't have the qualifications to step on his head.
"If you want me to obey this guy's commands, I'm afraid that'll be difficult."
Think about it too. Even Bang, this master who was previously stronger than Garou, hadn't successfully tamed Garou. Gyoro Gyoro's level was indeed a bit lacking.
"How many times have I said it, I'm not your master."
Qin Chuan looked at Garou, slightly furrowing his brow, then slapped Garou's head, almost making him fall to the ground.
"And the Monster Association's true leader is me. I'm telling you to join, so you join. Why so much nonsense?"
Garou stumbled, then hurriedly stood up. The arrogant air on his face just now instantly dissipated, replaced with an awkward smile:
"I got it, I'll join... I didn't know the Monster Association's leader was you either."
The instant Garou agreed to speak, Qin Chuan felt some connection also formed between himself and Garou.
This meant Garou had also become a Monster Association member, become one of the many members controlled by "King's Army."
Although from Garou's previous performance, his obedience to Qin Chuan's commands was already nearly absolute, having "King's Army's" restraint at least meant he didn't have to worry about Garou becoming disobedient after his mentality changed.
If he didn't listen, Qin Chuan would let Garou properly experience what being unable to control one's body meant.
"Speaking of which, before I had people monitor Garou's whereabouts, but after Garou was taken away by Fubuki some time ago, his traces could no longer be searched for."
Gyoro Gyoro looked at Garou's submissive appearance before Qin Chuan, also showing an understanding expression—seemed Garou had also witnessed Qin Chuan's might, knew he couldn't resist Qin Chuan.
"Where exactly did he go? And his current strength... is also somewhat unfathomable."
Gyoro Gyoro possessed a certain level of ability to see through others' strength. In the original work, it used this ability to make disaster level assessments for the Monster Association's monsters.
And now Garou in its eyes was already an existence it couldn't see through—the last one it couldn't see through was still Qin Chuan.
"Oh? Clearly Master's subordinate, yet you can't guess where I was sent by Master?"
Hearing Gyoro Gyoro's question, Garou also showed a sinister smile.
He seemed to have guessed that Gyoro Gyoro didn't know Qin Chuan came from another world, also didn't know Qin Chuan could send people to other worlds for training.
For a moment, an inexplicable sense of superiority welled up in Garou's heart.
"..."
Gyoro Gyoro couldn't help but twitch—Garou's childish personality left it quite helpless.
However, from Garou's reaction, it could also see that Qin Chuan should indeed have some secret, and Garou was the beneficiary of that secret.
His current expression clearly came from a sense of superiority of "you don't even know this kind of thing."
However, Gyoro Gyoro quickly thought of another matter. Its originally somewhat displeased gaze toward Garou also transformed into sympathy:
"Forget it, that kind of thing I can just ask Qin Chuan later... But you, do you know what you were called here to do?"
"Huh?"
Garou showed an indifferent expression, even picking his ear with his pinky.
"Don't really know clearly, but as long as it's what Master requires, I'll just do it."
Hearing Garou's words, Qin Chuan also raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Garou to seem quite obedient, without the slightest intention to oppose his wishes.
Of course, being obedient now didn't mean he'd still be obedient after awakening as Cosmic Garou.
In the original work, after awakening as Cosmic Garou, Garou's behavior pattern also underwent huge changes in a short time.
Originally just wanting to teach heroes a lesson, he began unscrupulously using nuclear attacks, nearly killing heroes and even the little brat he wanted to protect under nuclear radiation.
Not until after being beaten up by Saitama did he realize what happened.
So Qin Chuan had long prepared to suppress Garou the first moment he awakened as Cosmic Garou. He really didn't believe Garou could resist his full strength.
After all, Garou hadn't even seen what his full power looked like.
"What you need to do is very simple."
Qin Chuan once again took out that black cube, tossing it to Garou, simply commanding:
"Hold this thing and pray again, just like you did earlier."
