The rest was much simpler.
Although the Heavenly Ninja Party was cruel and killed without mercy, that was only towards the weak.
Once they realized their enemy was someone they couldn't possibly defeat, the subservience buried deep in their subconscious began to sprout, and they quickly chose to surrender.
Gale Wind and Flame of Impure Ardor began interrogating the captives, and the interrogation went exceptionally smoothly.
They quickly obtained information about That Lord from the surviving Heavenly Ninja Party ninjas.
The Ninja King, Void of the Void, was indeed not dead.
As Sonic had seen, he had previously been slumbering in the deepest part of the Ninja Village base.
Later, the village was destroyed by Flashy Flash and then tragically attacked by Blast, the mysterious number one Hero Association member, turning it into ruins and rubble.
The life-sustaining capsule containing Ninja King Void was secretly moved by the remnants of the village and was hidden in a nearby cave.
These remnants of the village contacted each other through ninja methods, gathered together, and with the goal of resurrecting the Ninja King and ruling the world, they formed the current Heavenly Ninja Party.
"Very good."
Gale Wind, in his Monsterification state, nodded in satisfaction, a smile spreading across his ferocious, leopard-spotted face: "As expected, only the wise adapt to circumstances. The seniors are indeed excellent graduates of the village, knowing what to do at crucial moments."
Heavenly Ninja Party: "…"
Facing the enemy's sarcastic taunts, they gnashed their teeth in hatred, but circumstances were against them.
The terrifying giant six-eyed black dog was still watching them menacingly, and no matter how unwilling they were, they didn't want to be turned into dog poop and recycled on the spot.
(Poochy: Who are you calling poop-eaters?!)
Beside him, Flame of Impure Ardor, whose face was equally ferocious, had his beast fur wristbands and cape all transform into towering, blazing Flames.
"Next, it's the second phase of our mission."
As he spoke, he kicked over the trembling muscular man, Muscle of Maso, twisted his neck in boredom, and looked back at Sonic, who had a complex expression: "Sonic, remember to keep up and don't drag us down."
"…"
Sonic, who felt underestimated, kept a straight face and said nothing, merely following silently, his thoughts in a jumble.
Power!
Under the repeated stimulation during this period, he yearned for stronger power like never before!
Before long, the surrendered Heavenly Ninja Party members tied each other up with ropes and, led by Force of Violence, headed deep into the dense forest.
The ninjas were fast on their feet, and in no time, they traversed dozens of kilometers, passed through a hidden forest, and arrived at a cliff face covered in vines.
Force, who was leading the way, pushed aside the tangled vines, revealing a dark cave hidden behind them.
"Everyone, That Lord is inside."
The Monsterified Wind of Cyclone poked him with a short knife, pushing him inside: "Lead the way."
Force dared not show his anger and could only obey under the threat of death.
The cave was deep and damp, and the air was filled with a stale medicinal smell and a faint scent of blood.
They walked for about ten minutes before a faint green light appeared ahead.
It was a huge underground grotto, and in the center of the grotto, there was a technologically advanced but extremely old capsule life-sustaining chamber.
The life-sustaining chamber was filled with transparent, light green nutrient fluid, and a well-proportioned man, whose appearance was terrifying and ferocious like a demon from hell, was silently suspended within it.
His entire body was Insert with various thick tubes, connected to the humming, strange machines around him, his eyes tightly closed, as if he had fallen into an eternal slumber.
But even so, a faint, heart-pounding powerful aura still emanated from him.
Like a sleeping volcano, it made the air in the entire grotto viscous and heavy.
Undoubtedly, he was the legendary Ninja King—
Void of the Void!
"Finally found it…" A flicker of eagerness crossed Flame of Impure Ardor's eyes.
As long as they completed this mission, they would gain the Monster King's appreciation and accumulate more contribution points.
In the future, they could exchange them for "Evolution Cell 3.0," which directly increases Dragon-level cadre strength, and become even stronger!
Wind of Cyclone also seemed very excited. Just as he was about to step forward to observe more closely, a voice so familiar it made their souls tremble resonated without warning in the empty grotto.
"Not bad, you actually found him."
That voice!
Wind of Cyclone and Flame of Impure Ardor both stiffened abruptly, and Sonic behind them also had his pupils suddenly contract!
The Heavenly Ninja Party members were still bewildered, but the others had already turned their heads sharply.
In the shadows of the cave entrance, Han Sen had appeared behind them at some point, his hands in his pockets, watching them with a playful expression.
His appearance was silent, as if he had been there from the beginning, or as if he was a deity who had walked directly out of the shadows.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify due to his presence, and even the "humming" sound of the machines in the life-sustaining chamber seemed insignificant.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" x 2
Flame of Impure Ardor was the first Monster to have seen Han Sen's human form, and since Han Sen occasionally visited the manor to walk Poochy, Wind of Cyclone was naturally not unfamiliar with the Monster King's human form.
At this moment, their reactions were extremely quick, and fear and reverence instantly overwhelmed all other thoughts.
Both of them knelt on one knee with a "thud" without hesitation, their heads bowed deeply, their attitudes utterly respectful.
Only then did the Heavenly Ninja Party members react, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The combination of the two traitors, Wind of Cyclone and Flame of Impure Ardor, plus the six-eyed black giant dog, was already troublesome enough; this man they called "Your Majesty" was clearly even harder to deal with!
Everyone's vision instantly darkened, and the slightest bit of cunning they had harbored earlier immediately receded.
—The situation has changed; act according to circumstances!
Han Sen ignored the ninjas, each with their own thoughts, and his gaze passed over them to land on Sonic, who was still standing stiffly, raising an eyebrow.
"What, Sonic, even now you still refuse to call me Your Majesty?"
The tone was flat, yet it seemed to carry the weight of ten thousand tons.
"…"
Sonic's body instantly tensed, and a thin layer of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
He could feel an invisible but irresistible terrifying pressure enveloping him.
It was as if the entire space was repelling and squeezing him, making it incredibly difficult for him to even move a single finger.
His bones groaned, and his pride shattered inch by inch.
This man seemed to have grown even stronger than the last time they met!
In comparison, the slight improvements from his diligent training were simply a joke!
—It's outrageous! Does this guy's power really have no limit?!
Under Han Sen's seemingly calm but all-seeing gaze, Sonic felt like an insect held in a giant's hand; any thought of resistance seemed so ridiculous and overestimating his own strength.
"When you get back, clean Poochy's toilet for a month."
Sonic: "…"
—No, you're going too far!!
