"AAAAHHHH!"
The oppression of the Cursed Energy was like mountains and seas. Garou's wails were unending.
Pfft! Pfft!
Then, two arms extended from Garou's body.
The monster cells all over his body seemed to come completely alive, covering layer after layer.
No one knew how long passed.
The wails stopped abruptly.
Garou had evolved once again in a short time.
"Roar!"
He let out a mad roar, actually managing to withstand the invasion of the Cursed Energy, and began to madly destroy everything around him.
At this moment!
Garou seemed to have turned into a monster that only knew how to destroy.
"As expected, he lost his sanity again?"
Ayato frowned slightly, a look of disappointment in his eyes.
But soon!
He let out a soft exclamation.
He saw Garou, who had been frantically destroying, beginning to madly bang his head against the ground.
The surrounding earth disappeared inch by inch.
After dozens of seconds.
Garou looked up, the chaos in his eyes gone.
"I never thought... I would end up looking this ugly..."
A somewhat complicated voice rang out. Garou looked at his own body, was silent for a moment, but then laughed.
"But, this power isn't bad..."
"The current me is stronger than ever before."
"He actually regained his sanity?"
Ayato looked at Garou, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile.
Not bad!
Although he didn't know the reason.
Compared to a mindless monster that only knew how to destroy...
The current Garou had more research value.
"Mori Ayato, I won't lose this time."
With a long cry, Garou pushed off with his legs, his whole body leaping up.
Like a tsunami going against the current, causing countless air currents to tremble, he shot straight into the sky.
Just this simple action.
Compared to before...
Was already worlds apart.
Garou, after extreme evolution, had regained his own sanity.
The terrifying aura emanating from his entire body.
Turned everything around him into a series of shockwaves, continuously spreading outward.
Boom!
Space distorted, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Garou clenched one fist, his momentum reaching its peak.
He bent and straightened his right arm. The sound of his heartbeat was deafening as he threw a vast, magnificent shockwave, heading straight for Ayato.
Looking from afar!
Wherever it passed, air scattered, residual waves surging.
Explosive Heart Liberation Fist!
This was a boxing technique used by Bang in his youth.
It had been sealed away because it was too dangerous.
It was an evil fist that Garou had learned by stealthily observing, truly created for destruction.
Facing this punch, Ayato's eyes sparkled like stars, and a glimmer of fighting spirit finally rose.
Become a Bull!
He clenched his fist, and the entire sky began to shake.
Vast and thick power spread as he threw a punch to meet it.
Rumble!
In an instant!
It was like the collision of sky and earth.
Vast residual waves spread in all directions.
The distant S-Class Heroes all turned pale, feeling their minds go blank.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gales howled, causing chaos in the sky.
Ayato stepped on the void, his figure not moving an inch.
Pfft!
In contrast, blood spattered from Garou's fist, and he was already injured.
But even so.
He didn't retreat a single step.
"Again!"
A look of madness appeared in Garou's eyes, and his figure vanished in an instant.
The next moment!
His figure flickered continuously in all directions, leaving countless afterimages.
Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Explosive Heart Liberation Fist.
Cyclone Iron Cutting Fist.
Self-taught Fist.
Various martial arts and boxing techniques were used by Garou with ease.
In just an instant.
He threw countless punches.
If viewed from the sky.
One would see countless streams of fists completely surrounding Ayato from all directions.
Gale!
Facing all this, Ayato's expression didn't change, slightly raising one hand.
Instantly, a tornado connecting sky and earth swept in all directions.
Rumble! Rumble!
Countless visible shockwaves continuously spread outward.
Mushroom clouds rose one after another, seemingly linking together.
Endless smoke and dust filled the air, blotting out the sky and sun.
"Ah!"
Garou wailed, his entire body flying backward, shattering layers of air.
His entire body was covered in blood, countless bloody wounds appearing on his burly frame.
"Still... not a match?"
Garou took a deep breath, the flesh and blood on his body constantly writhing.
In just an instant.
His injuries had healed completely.
His eyes flickered, the power in his entire body surging like a mountain torrent.
"If I continue fighting, I will definitely lose."
"If that's the case, I have no choice but to decide the outcome in one go."
