BOOM!
A massive figure was sent flying before crashing to the ground, barely clinging to life.
This was the newly elected leader of the Subterranean Kingdom. Though far weaker than the Subterranean King—who had been stomped to death by Saitama—he was still a formidable force.
Yet, against the black figure that had invaded the Subterranean, he stood no chance.
A closer look at the surroundings would reveal that nearly all the Subterranean dwellers had been wiped out, most of them long dead.
"Tch, tch, is this all the Subterranean Kingdom has to offer?"
Amid the corpses of the Subterranean dwellers, several small black figures hopped around. Their antenna-like protrusions made them unsettling to look at. At a glance, they resembled dwarves in black bodysuits—limbed and faced, yet with a chibi-like, two-headed stature.
Their name was Black Sperm, members of the Monster Association. Though they appeared as many individuals, they were, in fact, a single entity.
True to their name, Black Sperm consisted of hundreds of millions of individual cells, each possessing considerable strength. When fused together, they became even more terrifying.
The few Black Sperm present in the Subterranean Kingdom were not highly fused, their strength barely reaching Demon-level. But against the Subterranean dwellers, who had lost their king, they were more than enough to slaughter them effortlessly.
"Boring. I shouldn't have wasted so many cells coming here."
One Black Sperm sighed in disappointment, mocking the weakness of the Subterranean dwellers.
Their mission was simple: eliminate the Subterranean dwellers and claim their anthill-like kingdom as the Monster Association's new base. They had expected resistance, but without their king, the Subterranean dwellers fell easily.
Just as they were about to leave and report to the Monster Association's strategist, Gyoro Gyoro, one of them suddenly sensed something.
"Hm? Someone's coming… A surviving Subterranean dweller?"
Several Black Sperm turned toward the room's entrance, hearing footsteps approaching.
"No… Doesn't sound like an Subterranean dweller. Did someone stumble into their territory by accident?"
Soon, under their watchful eyes, Zuke stepped into the room.
His gaze swept indifferently across the gruesome scene—corpses of Subterranean dwellers littered the floor, including a massive one that had already died. It didn't take much to guess that this giant might have become the new Subterranean King—had it not been killed prematurely.
Zuke's eyes then fell on the culprits—the Black Sperm in the room. He sighed in exasperation.
"Talk about bad timing… Did I just walk in on the Monster Association's cleanup operation?"
He had considered the possibility that the Subterranean Kingdom might already be occupied by the Monster Association, or that the Subterranean dwellers no longer ruled. But he never expected to arrive right in the middle of the transition.
Neither ruled by the Subterranean dwellers nor fully claimed by the Monster Association—just stuck in this awkward in-between state.
"Huh? A human?"
One Black Sperm stared at Zuke, sensing no overwhelming pressure from him.
This was because Zuke suppressed his "ki", much like how Future Trunks once registered a mere battle power of 5 on a scouter. Without the ability to perceive internal energy, it was impossible to gauge his true strength.
Naturally, Black Sperm remained oblivious.
One of them lunged at Zuke without hesitation, aiming to kill him on the spot.
Though these Black Sperm were only Demon-level in strength, to ordinary humans, they were unstoppable calamities.
But just as the Black Sperm was about to strike—
WHAM!
An invisible force smashed into its face.
Before it could react, the impact obliterated it, reducing it to scattered fragments.
"Disgusting. Stay away from me."
Zuke frowned, watching as "Black Bird Requiem" annihilated the Black Sperm.
The very idea of touching something based on sperm repulsed him—even using his Stand to destroy it felt unpleasant.
Maybe I should just erase them with "Void Miasma" instead.
"Wha—?! What just happened?! How was it destroyed?!"
The remaining Black Sperm tensed up, immediately recognizing that Zuke was no ordinary human.
To instantly kill a Demon-level monster… This guy had to be at least Dragon-level, right?
That was the limit of their imagination—Zuke didn't expect them to grasp his true power anyway.
"You're Black Sperm from the Monster Association, right? Where's your strategist, Gyoro Gyoro?"
After obliterating one of them, Zuke didn't press the attack. Instead, he questioned the remaining Black Sperm.
Since the Monster Association hadn't fully moved in yet, he could just interrogate Gyoro Gyoro directly to find Homeless Emperor's whereabouts.
Or, if possible, get the info straight from Black Sperm.
"Alternatively, just tell me where Homeless Emperor is."
"...You know a lot for a human."
One Black Sperm seemed surprised but still didn't grasp the danger. Instead of answering, it rambled arrogantly.
"Trying to join the Monster Association? I mean, I'm only temporarily allied with Gyoro Gyoro, but—"
SWOOSH!
Before it could finish, Zuke lost patience.
"Black Bird Requiem" activated "Void Miasma."
A spherical space was erased, taking the Black Sperm with it.
"No nonsense. Tell me where Gyoro Gyoro or Homeless Emperor is."
Zuke's sharp gaze locked onto the remaining Black Sperm, his killing intent unmistakable.
Honestly, Black Sperm's "division" and "fusion" abilities were intriguing, but Zuke had no interest in absorbing them.
First, because each divided cell had its own consciousness—Zuke knew himself well enough to realize that if his clones shared his personality, they'd likely disobey orders, creating unnecessary chaos.
Second, and more importantly—they were sperm. The very thought of consuming them was revolting.
Even using "Black Bird Requiem" to absorb them felt unacceptable.
So if these things refused to cooperate, Zuke wouldn't hesitate—annihilate them all.
