Chapter 239 : The Fallen Hungry Wolf
"Yes, that's it. This is how it should be." He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and excited.
"This is the true power of an S-Class Hero..."
The terrifying power that had nearly crushed him did not destroy his will; instead, it excited his body, which was already pushed to its limits!
A strong sense of shock surged in Blacklight's heart.
Is this guy a Monster?!
"You..."
"It's not over yet!" Garou abruptly raised his head, roaring as he interrupted Blacklight, "Again!"
Before he finished speaking, his already broken arms emitted a "kacha kacha" sound, forcefully resetting under the drive of his willpower!
Immediately after, ignoring the heart-wrenching pain, he charged towards Blacklight once more!
This time, his speed was actually faster than before!
Blacklight's eyes narrowed, and he crossed his arms over his chest, adopting a perfect defensive posture.
"Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist!"
Garou's figure appeared on Blacklight's left side, his hand-blade creating a sharp whistling sound as it fiercely chopped towards Blacklight's neck!
Clang!
A crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out.
Garou's hand-blade seemed to strike a piece of superalloy; the immense recoil left his entire arm numb, but his attack did not cease.
Failing to land a hit, he immediately used the momentum to spin, his body whirling like a top, his fists and feet transforming into countless afterimages, wildly assaulting Blacklight's indestructible physique from all directions!
Dark Body Sky Dragon Fist!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The dense sounds of impact echoed like a rainstorm within the stone chamber; every single one of Garou's attacks was heavier, faster, and fiercer than the last!
However, Blacklight remained standing in place, not moving an inch.
He was like a reef in a raging sea, remaining steadfast no matter how the waves crashed against him.
"That's enough, Garou."
Blacklight's voice reached Garou's ears.
"Your muscles are crying."
"What?" Garou's offensive suddenly stalled.
"They are wailing, they are mourning." Blacklight slowly lowered his arms, a hint of pity in his eyes.
"You are forcibly squeezing their strength but giving them no time to rest or recover. This is no longer training; it is self-mutilation."
He looked at the wounds on Garou's body that had just healed but were now tearing open again due to the intense exertion, and said in a deep voice, "The body and the spirit are one."
"Your body is this exhausted, and your spirit is already overwhelmed. Stop now. Rest is what you need to do most right now."
"Rest? Rest?!"
These two words seemed to completely ignite the nerve that Garou had stretched to its limit.
"How can I rest here!"
He let out a beast-like howl, and the red light in his eyes flared intensely!
"How can I stop before I become the 'Absolute Evil' and bring equal fear to this hypocritical world!!!"
Boom!!!
A terrifying aura, far surpassing anything before, erupted from within Garou. The tattered bodysuit he wore was completely shredded, revealing the scarred physique beneath.
His body had actually evolved again!
"Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!"
Garou shouted it out again, but his voice had become somewhat slurred.
His consciousness seemed to be blurring.
The speed of his physical evolution had exceeded the limit his spirit could endure.
What was driving him now was no longer reason, but the pure obsession to defeat everything!
His body sank slightly, and he adopted a strange starting stance with his hands in front of him.
The next second, his entire being transformed into a streak of light that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!
"Roar!!!"
Accompanied by a frantic roar, he poured all his strength and all his will into this final strike!
A trace of seriousness finally appeared on Blacklight's face.
He could feel that this strike already faintly possessed the power to injure him!
However, just as Garou's all-burning fist was about to make contact with Blacklight's body, an emerald green light abruptly appeared, enveloping Blacklight's entire body.

Meanwhile, on the other battlefield.
The aftermath of the battle had already rendered the structure of the Monster Association fragile.
"Damn it!"
Tatsumaki hovered in mid-air, looking at the behemoth below, her emerald green eyes filled with killing intent.
In the short few dozen seconds just now, she and Psykos-Orochi had already exchanged several earth-shattering blows.
Psykos-Orochi turned the entire cavern wall into tens of thousands of stones to attack Tatsumaki.
Tatsumaki, using even stronger psychokinesis, instantly compressed these stones into highly dense black spheres and hurled them back.
The force of the explosions nearly overturned the entire underground space.
Although Tatsumaki still held the absolute advantage in skill, Psykos-Orochi's nearly inexhaustible energy, combined with the reckless, death-defying fighting style adopted after merging with Orochi, made her incredibly difficult to handle.
The most crucial point was that she constantly had to divert a significant portion of her energy to stabilize the structure of the entire Monster Association base, preventing it from completely collapsing in the aftermath of the battle and burying the hostages who had not yet been rescued.
This feeling of being constrained fueled the anger burning in her heart.
"What in the world are those guys dragging their feet for! Does rescuing hostages take this long?!"
Tatsumaki thought irritably while simultaneously using a psychic barrier to block a massive dragon head swept toward her by Psykos-Orochi.
Just then, the communicator on her waist suddenly emitted a "beep beep" notification sound.
Tatsumaki connected the communication with a thought, saying in an unfriendly tone, "What is it now?!"
From the other end of the communicator came the hurried voice of Zekinger, the Chief of Operations for the Hero Association.
"Miss Tatsumaki! Good news! Just now, the S-Class Hero Silver Fang successfully infiltrated the enemy camp and safely rescued both child hostages! They have reached the surface!"
"..."
Hearing this news, Tatsumaki paused for a moment.
The next second, all the negative emotions instantly melted away from her tightly strained small face.
In their place was an extremely radiant smile.
The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and her emerald eyes sparkled with excitement.
The psychokinesis she had been holding back was, at this moment, completely and unreservedly unleashed!
Boom!!!
An emerald green energy storm centered on her swept out in all directions, instantly crushing all of Psykos-Orochi's attacks!
"Oh?"
Psykos-Orochi felt the sudden surge of terrifying pressure, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
Tatsumaki, however, raised her head, looked at the communicator, and said with a light chuckle:
"Finally, you're slightly useful."
She elegantly extended a slender finger, condensing an extremely refined emerald green psychic energy at the tip, and said casually:
"In that case, let's start by sending all those guys in the base flying out."
