Chapter 178 - Chapter 178 You Don’t Even Want to Call Me Your Majesty

Monster: Centipede Elder

Disaster Level: Dragon (High)

Ability 1: "Super Regeneration Exoskeleton (SSR)": An outer shell composed of ultra-high-density biological keratin, possessing ultra-high density and hardness, with extremely strong resistance to physical and energy attacks; upon suffering fatal damage, it can shed an old shell to negate the damage and regenerate a more robust new exoskeleton in an extremely short time, returning to its peak state.

Ability 2: "Ancient Species Body (SSR)": A gigantic gene originating from ancient times, gaining a body, strength, and vitality beyond biological limits after mutating into a Monster. Its super corrosive digestive fluid can quickly dissolve most substances, including minerals and rocks, until completely digested, from which it extracts energy and nutrients sufficient to sustain its enormous size.

Ability 3: "Hundred-Legged Great Roll (SSR)": Rolls its massive body, utilizing its mass and kinetic energy to launch indiscriminate attacks, capable of easily destroying mountains and cities.

The "Hundred-Legged Great Roll" attack is nothing special, but "Super Regeneration Exoskeleton" and "Ancient Species Body" are top-tier numerical abilities, truly a mobile war fortress.

The latter also comes with powerful digestive capabilities, able to completely decompose and digest even minerals and rocks, perfectly compensating for the huge window of vulnerability of "Ultimate Devour," which can only be activated when near death.

With this ability, isn't the usually slow cell proliferation speed saved?

After reviewing the Centipede Elder's abilities, Han Sen then turned his gaze to the old face on its forehead, which was wreathed in smiles, his eyes cold.

"Centipede Elder, you aren't even willing to call me Your Majesty?"

Centipede Elder: ???

Sensing a hint of malice from the top of the food chain in Han Sen's gaze, the Centipede Elder's old face stiffened.

He had already learned from "Centipede Junior" about Bug God's victory over "Orochi" and was somewhat wary of this suddenly appearing powerhouse.

But he hadn't expected that as soon as they met, the two sides were already at loggerheads.

Its massive body wriggled slightly, emitting a sound like rocks grinding: "Bug God… Your Majesty…"

The Centipede Elder was about to explain that he just wasn't used to it yet, but then he heard the dark figure opposite him say: "It's too late to call me Your Majesty now."

Han Sen's voice betrayed no emotion, but his burning gaze was undisguised.

After all, raw materials of such a large size are hard to come by!

"You actually made me come find you. Commit suicide."

Centipede Elder: "..."

The Centipede Elder, who could escape from Blast, clearly had normal intelligence and naturally wouldn't commit suicide just because of a single sentence from Han Sen.

"Junior, you're looking for death!"

"Very good, I gave you a chance!"

As Han Sen's words fell, the Centipede Elder was utterly enraged!

—What do you mean, he gave me a chance?!

"Roar—!!"

The Centipede Elder roared in fury; Bug God clearly intended to kill him!

What else was there to say!?

The deafening roar echoed in the underground space, and its mountain-like massive body rapidly rampaged!

Its terrifying body, several kilometers long, easily smashed countless gaps in the rock layers, and its waving giant segmented legs almost burst the entire underground space!

...

...

Above ground, Z-City uninhabited area.

Saitama had just finished his instant noodles with cabbage and was contentedly sitting on the living room floor, holding a cup of hot tea, enjoying his leisurely after-meal time.

"Burp..."

He burped, feeling his life was complete.

Just then.

Rumble rumble rumble—

The ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently, the teacup on the table rattled, and tea spilled out.

Saitama was startled and looked up at the ceiling.

Crack... crack...

Several clear cracks were rapidly spreading across the ceiling.

"Hmm? Another earthquake?" He scratched his smooth head, a bit helpless.

Before he finished speaking, a cement block the size of a washbasin suddenly fell from the ceiling, heading straight for him.

Saitama didn't even lift an eyelid; he simply casually extended a finger and lightly tapped.

With a "pop," the cement block turned into dust in mid-air, scattering down.

However, another cement block followed closely, accurately smashing into the kitchen sink.

Clang—Splash!

With a loud crash, the pot he had just used for instant noodles and hadn't had time to wash, along with several bowls, were smashed to pieces.

Saitama: "..."

He slowly turned his head, looking at the mess in the sink, and an angry crossroad appeared above his head.

"Damn it all—!!"

"Why are there so many earthquakes lately! My pot!!"

...

...

At the same time, thousands of meters underground, on the outskirts of Z-City.

"Roar—!!!"

Amidst the roar that shook the earth's crust, the Centipede Elder's massive body, carrying terrifying kinetic energy that could shatter all things, ruthlessly crushed towards Han Sen's location!

Its massive body covered in purple exoskeleton was like a living train; the hard rock layers were as fragile as tofu before it. A sweeping tail lash created large cavities in the rock layer, a terrifying sight!

A giant body thousands of meters long was itself a terrifying area-of-effect weapon.

Facing this mountain-crushing charge, Han Sen twisted his neck and met it head-on.

Within the dark Monster body, dormant powers awakened one by one.

Strength and speed surged, energy ran wild!

Blazing golden aura then ascended, endless light power permeated his entire body, and the hideous, demonic dark battle armor scattered sacred radiance, like a platinum war god from the heavens, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Han Sen, who instantly activated his Super Saiyan form, casually threw a punch. Amidst the bursting thunder, his iron fist directly collided with the Centipede Elder's head!

At the center point of their contact, space visibly distorted, and terrifying shockwaves frantically spread outwards in a circle!

Wherever they passed, the hard rock layers turned into dust, like tofu crushed by a foot!

Crack... crack...

Amidst the crisp cracking sounds, an unexpectedly immense force erupted with ferocity!

The old face on the Centipede Elder's forehead showed a pained expression, its terrifying momentum, carrying vast kinetic energy, was halted, suddenly braking!

Not only that, its giant head, along with its long body, was struck straight backward, as if standing at attention!!

And at the center of the collision, the incredibly tough purple exoskeleton instantly shattered, and the penetrating immense force materialized into spiderweb-like cracks that rapidly expanded along its long body!

Wherever they passed, countless shattered exoskeleton pieces flew in all directions!

The Centipede Elder's mountain-long purple body was sent flying by a single punch, embedding itself into the rock layer.

The old face on the Centipede Elder's forehead showed pain and shock, and the next second, its shattered body expanded and extended!

New white exoskeleton, like a spine, pushed open the cracks and rapidly grew. Almost simultaneously with the shattering and peeling of the previous shell, the regeneration into a deep purple exoskeleton was already declared complete!

That pained old face also reappeared with a joyful, ugly smile.

"Hehehe...!"
