"Fine, fine!"
"You forced me to do this."
Orochi was furious. An indescribable, horrific aura rose from his body.
"If that's the case..."
"Let me show you my strongest form."
His low voice echoed through the world for a long time.
Rumble! Rumble!
Vast and magnificent energy fluctuations erupted from within Orochi.
The ground around him began to crack, presenting a scene of earthquakes and natural disasters.
The next moment.
Orochi's burly body mutated, becoming more slender, more suited for combat.
Countless tentacles extended behind him, easily tearing through the air, causing explosions.
"Hmm, not bad momentum."
Ayato nodded, slightly raising one hand.
"Then you can die."
As his voice echoed, a bolt of lightning shot out.
This bolt of lightning was ten times stronger than before, at least.
It descended from the sky, vast and magnificent, as if simply unstoppable.
"What kind of power is this?"
Orochi's expression changed in horror, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.
Every cell in his body trembled involuntarily.
As if he had returned to his time as a human, small and fragile.
Without any hesitation, Orochi pierced a tail into the ground, beginning to frantically absorb the power of the planet's core.
Gaia Cannon!
The next moment, a massive mouth opened in his chest, and a world-destroying energy cannon shot up to meet the lightning in the sky.
Rumble!
With a deafening roar.
The lightning and the energy cannon completely merged.
Endless air currents flowed upwards, carrying sky-filling dust and smoke, forming a huge mushroom cloud that shot into the sky.
Faintly.
One could see that earth-shattering energy cannon being completely overwhelmed by the lightning, like tofu.
"How is this possible?"
Orochi exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with terror.
He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
The lightning was too fast.
If he tried to dodge, he would probably die faster.
Facing a life and death crisis, a look of fierceness appeared on Orochi's face.
He tore off his own mask, revealing countless intertwining tentacles.
His entire body changed rapidly, as if turning into a twisted spider-like shape.
Rumble!
At this moment!
Due to his continuous draining of energy, the entire planet shook.
Boom!
An even larger energy bullet shot into the sky, as if to defeat the lightning.
Rumble!
The entire world shook.
The surrounding space seemed to show visible ripples.
Countless air currents compressed, turning into vast shockwaves that rolled in all directions.
Wherever they passed.
Everything around was completely shattered, completely leveled.
Under this impact.
Even Psykos's expression changed, and she had to open a telekinetic barrier to withstand it.
No one knew how long passed.
Only the continuous tremors and roars in the sky could be heard.
Each time the sound rang out, Orochi's body staggered back, leaving a deep trench on the ground.
"N-no... impossible."
"I... I can't be defeated."
His voice was filled with fear and horror.
Before Orochi's eyes, the lightning had already overwhelmed the energy cannon he had unleashed, falling like a meteor.
And this!
Was the last image of his life.
In an instant!
His consciousness fell into eternal darkness.
Orochi's body was completely engulfed by the lightning, leaving no trace.
Having done this, Ayato's expression shifted, and he looked into the distance.
"What is it, Master?"
"Nothing. After the appetizer, the main course is almost ready. Lucky."
Inside the Monster Association.
"What's this? You lot, playing Hero games, why aren't you attacking?"
On the ruined rubble, Garou stood.
At this moment, he had completely lost his human form. His entire body was covered in monster cells, he had completely turned into a monster.
Around him lay bodies everywhere.
Some were monsters, some were Heroes.
And on his face was an unrestrained look of madness.
He looked around and laughed wildly, "Whether you're a Hero or a monster, I'll defeat as many as you send."
"Come on, come on, attack me to your heart's content."
"This monster."
Facing Garou, the remaining few S-Class Heroes looked grim.
Unlike the original trajectory.
They had witnessed with their own eyes Garou breaking through his limits again and again during battle.
Growing to this point.
Even Superalloy Darkshine had been taken down by him.
"Since you won't attack..."
Garou sneered, "Then I will."
With that!
His figure vanished.
