"Seriously, they really pick their timing."
Saitama grumbled, carrying a box of fatty beef, his tone as if complaining that his neighbor's dog was barking again in the middle of the night.
Han Sen, still quickly stocking up, casually said, "You'll get used to it."
"You're right."
Han Sen and Saitama conversed calmly, seemingly out of place amidst the surrounding chaos.
Ordinary citizens screamed and fled, while a small portion held up their phones from afar, snapping pictures of the Monster.
Some even dared to get closer and take selfies with the Monster.
It could only be said that after countless disasters, many humans in this world had developed nerves of steel.
Han Sen's eyes shimmered with a faint golden psychic glow, which was the further evolved UR-level psychic superpower, Imaginary Divine Power.
His gaze, as if transcending dimensions, penetrated the supermarket walls and directly locked onto the source of the chaos in the street.
It was an exceptionally burly plant-type Monster, over five meters tall, shaped like a Muscle Carrot that had gained sentience.
Its entire body was covered in bulging, gnarled muscles, with a few carrot greens fluttering on its head, making it look incredibly powerful.
At this moment, the Carrot Monster was wantonly destroying the street.
A casual wave could send a car flying like a toy, and every stomp of its foot created spiderweb-like cracks on the ground.
However, in Han Sen and Saitama's eyes, this so-called Demon-level Weirdo exuded a sense of farcical bluster.
"All show and no substance," Han Sen commented.
"Yeah, it looks strong, but it's actually nothing special," Saitama agreed.
Han Sen's system prompt displayed the Carrot Monster's ability information; its disaster level was still miles away from a true Demon-level.
The Hero Association's intelligence department was, as always, concerningly incompetent.
Just then, Han Sen's brows slightly raised, and he shifted his gaze to the other street corner.
There, another Monster had appeared.
In stark contrast to the Muscle Carrot's might, this Monster looked weak and pitiful, shaped like a slender, malnourished bean sprout, its delicate limbs seemingly ready to snap at a touch.
An out-of-control car was tumbling towards it, and the Bean Sprout Monster's face showed an expression of extreme terror, as if it had been scared silly.
But just an instant before the car was about to hit it, its frail arm casually waved.
Crack—!
A bone-chchilling cold instantly erupted, and the tumbling car was redirected by suddenly rising ice shards, crashing to the ground with a bang and shattering into pieces.
The slender Bean Sprout Monster seemed startled by its own unintentional action and quickly withdrew its hand.
It continued to tremble, its terrified expression even more pronounced, its acting truly superb.
"Oh? That bean sprout seems a bit more interesting."
As he raised an eyebrow, Han Sen's lips curved into an amused smile.
The seemingly Wolf-level Bean Sprout Monster, under Han Sen's system panel assessment, had a disaster level completely different from its appearance.
[Monster: Slender Bean Sprout]
[Disaster Level: Dragon (Lower)]
[Ability 1: 'Ultra-Low Temperature Cold Air (SSR)': Can instantly freeze water vapor in the air to form ice mist and frost crystals. Organisms or objects directly exposed to this area will experience slowed movement, frostbite, or even instant freezing due to rapid heat loss. The intensity can be controlled for disguise.]
[Ability 2: 'Ice Thorn Assault (SR)': Instantly condenses a large number of sharp ice thorns on any solid surface or in the air within the area of effect for area attacks or to conduct cold air to freeze enemies.]
[Ability 3: 'Bean Sprout Consecutive Strikes (SR)': The seemingly weak and slender bean sprout limbs can unleash unimaginable hardness and speed when attacking.]
A nasty fellow who liked to play weak, but its core abilities were quite good.
It was qualified to be the first dog food SSR!
After deciding the fate of the "Slender Bean Sprout" in his mind, Han Sen couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of King, even when he wasn't around, two wild Monsters could be spawned nearby. A natural Monster-attracting physique…
Still terrifying!
"Saitama."
Han Sen looked at the bald head beside him, raising an eyebrow in suggestion: "One each, quick battle, don't delay our hot pot tonight."
"Alright!"
Saitama grinned, readily agreeing.
He glanced between the two Monsters and unhesitatingly walked towards the larger Muscle Carrot: "I'll take care of this one. This big guy looks like he has more meat."
Before his words fell, the yellow and white figure had already vanished from its spot.
Han Sen, meanwhile, placed his shopping cart by the roadside and walked towards the weak Monster still trembling at the street corner.
…
…
On the street, the Monster "Muscle Carrot" was reveling in the destruction and panic it had created.
"Did you see that, foolish humans!"
"This is the power of me, Lord Muscle Carrot!"
"I declare! The Carrot clan shall rule the human world!"
"You weak humans will all become my nutrients! Hehehehehe—!!"
It struck a bodybuilding pose and laughed wildly.
The next moment, a bald head abruptly appeared in front of it.
"Hello."
Saitama politely waved and greeted, attracting the Monster's attention, then grinned and said, "Excuse me, could you give me the biggest and crispest piece of meat on you? We're having hot pot tonight."
The Muscle Carrot's laughter abruptly ceased. It lowered its head, looked at the bald head that wasn't even as tall as its calf, froze for three seconds, and then flew into a rage.
"Bastard! Are you looking down on me… Poof—!"
Before it could finish speaking, the time-pressed Saitama had already thrown a punch, and even gave himself a move name.
"Normal Punch."
Bang—!
The giant Carrot Monster didn't even have time to finish its threatening lines before its entire body exploded with a muffled thud!
It turned into a sky full of orange-red fragments, like a downpour of carrots.
Saitama casually caught the largest and most intact piece of carrot meat, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to walk towards the supermarket.
On the other side, Han Sen arrived in front of the Slender Bean Sprout.
When the Slender Bean Sprout Monster saw a human approaching it voluntarily, the terrified expression on its bean sprout face became even more realistic, and its slender body trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind.
"Ah—! Don't come any closer!"
"I'm not a bad Monster, I'm just passing by, I don't want to hurt anyone…"
It let out a high-pitched scream filled with fear, hugging its head with its slender arms and squatting on the ground, looking utterly helpless.
However, a cold and cruel hint of mockery flickered in the corner of its eye.
—Another idiot who doesn't know his place, trying to be a hero?
—Perfect, I'll play with him, and then freeze him into an eternal ice sculpture, hehehehehe—!!
