.
The moment her shoulder was touched, Psykos's hairs immediately stood on end.
Because she had only experienced this feeling once before, when she was controlling Evil Eye.
And now, less than five minutes later.
It was happening again?
She turned back to look, trembling.
Upon seeing the face of the person, her face instantly turned ashen.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought of resisting, but Rosen's clean and decisive action when killing Evil Eye made Psykos have no doubt that she too would be instantly eliminated.
But...
What about Orochi?
Accompanied by a certain vibration.
Solid concrete and rock spontaneously disintegrated before an irresistible force.
A roar, as if from ancient times, erupted from above, and the ceiling above Psykos's head instantly exploded, revealing a colossal body that seemed to blaspheme the gods, making humans feel insignificant.
Its size was immense, like a living mountain.
And its body was not composed of ordinary flesh and blood, but rather some kind of active tissues fused together.
Countless limbs, thick as giant pythons, covered with grotesque bone spurs and shimmering with a dark red glow, swung wildly from the monster's body.
The tip of each limb split open to reveal a gaping maw full of fangs.
Its head was an indescribable amalgam, with many other living things forming a pale human face.
Since it was a monster created by Psykos, Orochi, which temporarily had no independent will, its primary objective was to protect its creator.
Facing this pale, terrifying human face, Psykos's face instead showed a joyful smile.
Good!
As expected of the child she created!
Unlike other monsters, who were Dragon-level but completely useless, they were all trash!
But in the next second.
Psykos's face showed a horrified expression.
Because from the collapsing ceiling above, a dark red energy sphere was gathering in the indentation on Orochi's chest.
Inside the sphere, violent energy surged like billions of venomous snakes.
It emitted a terrifying gravitational pull that seemed to warp space itself.
Feeling this terrifying energy fluctuation, Psykos's expression changed dramatically.
"Orochi... what are you doing?! I'm still here!"
However, Orochi made no other movements, only continuously accumulating energy.
Seeing this, Rosen couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems the monster you cultivated not only doesn't want to obey your commands, but it also wants to eliminate you."
"That's impossible! I erased Orochi's consciousness beforehand; it can't disobey me!"
It seemed that a rampaging Orochi brought Psykos more despair than Rosen's arrival.
"That's the truth."
Rosen didn't waste any more words with Psykos.
This woman posed no threat at the moment.
Only the Monster King Orochi in front of him was worth Rosen taking a little more seriously.
Rosen released his hand, saying without looking, "Don't even think about escaping. After I deal with your pet, I'll come find you."
Upon hearing this, Psykos instead revealed a complex expression.
"You want to deal with Orochi? That's impossible. Those Dragon-level monsters you killed are nothing but trash that Orochi can easily stomp to death."
At this moment,
she became calm.
"Since it's out of control, then let everything be destroyed. Anyway, the final fate of this world cannot avoid destruction, so it's better to die early and be reborn."
He didn't continue listening.
The energy in Orochi's chest had become dazzling and scorching.
And in Rosen's hand, a Light Lance appeared, its surface irregular, like a flickering television screen.
Psykos noticed the change in Rosen.
He wants to use that thing to deal with Orochi? He probably can't even cut off a single tentacle!
However, what happened next left Psykos incredulous.
An indescribable aura spread from Rosen's body.
At the same time, a faint halo enveloped the man.
In her eyes, the Rosen in front of her suddenly transformed into an existence that could not be directly looked at or looked down upon.
A sense of awe, surging from the depths of her soul, instantly erupted, giving Psykos a strong, uncontrollable urge to prostrate herself on the ground.
If she wasn't still sitting,
Psykos's knees would have long since buckled and she would have knelt down.
And at this moment, Orochi, for the first time, felt an emotion stemming from biological instinct, enough to freeze all thought processes—
—Fear.
Some people scream in panic when they are extremely afraid.
But when this emotion reaches its peak, it turns into anger.
In an instant, Orochi's entire body burst forth with an unprecedented dark red light. All of its tentacles no longer flailed wildly, but instantly changed direction like startled venomous snakes. Thousands of mouths opened, and accompanied by a light cannon firing from its chest, it charged towards the tiny man in front of it.
Energy, regardless of cost or consumption, vowed to pierce through the man in front of it, along with the planet's core.
However, facing this destructive torrent capable of leveling several cities, Rosen's gaze did not waver in the slightest.
He merely tossed the Holy Lance in his hand with extreme casualness.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor the roar of clashing energies.
The moment that dark red torrent, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, touched the Holy Lance, it was annihilated.
Silent, yet utterly despair-inducing.
At the same time, the Holy Lance's momentum did not diminish. While neutralizing the light pillar, it finally struck Orochi's body.
Countless tentacles instantly shattered, and several dragon-like aggregates on its body surface were torn open.
Its enormous body was blasted backward by an unparalleled force.
A rock layer 1,500 meters thick was easily pierced, until it finally burst out of the ground, and then shot more than a thousand meters into the sky, before the Holy Lance's momentum finally slowed.
At the same time,
the Professional Heroes who had rushed to the vicinity due to the Hero Association's emergency notification, upon seeing that colossal figure clearly, all gaped in astonishment, their faces revealing expressions of immense shock.
Upon seeing Orochi's massive and grotesque body, all Professional Heroes felt a suffocating sense of terrifying oppression descend upon them.
However,
such a thing, which instilled fear in all heroes, was disintegrating and collapsing right before their eyes?!
So, what exactly is going on?
Who is attacking this terrifying monster?
Is it Tatsumaki?
But some heroes who were familiar with Tatsumaki also couldn't believe that the young girl could do such a thing.
After all,
even S-Class Heroes, upon seeing that monster, would become rigid with fear and immense pressure.
Even if Tatsumaki's strength gap with them was huge, it was impossible for her to do it so easily!
