Chapter 242 : The three slackers
Meanwhile, in another passage of the Monster Association.
"Ahhh! Faster! Faster!"
"Slow down for the turn ahead! We're going to crash! We're going to crash!"
"Whoa!!!"
Accompanied by screams and violent bumps, a rusty mining cart was speeding wildly down the tracks.
Three people were sitting in the mining cart.
To be precise, there was a handsome blonde man, a bald man, and an eyeball Monster.
"Hey, I'm just saying,"
Saitama gripped the edge of the mining cart, letting the strong wind make his cape flap wildly, and said helplessly to Flashy Flash beside him:
"Are we really going to find that Monster King by riding this thing? I feel like it's a roller coaster at an amusement park."
"Of course!"
Flashy Flash also gripped the mining cart, his golden hair a mess from the wind, but he still tried to maintain his dignity, stubbornly saying:
"To reach the enemy's core fastest, one naturally has to take this kind of rarely traveled shortcut! This is the essence of infiltration!"
"But..." Saitama pointed at Big Eye in front, who was clutching its head and trembling in fear, "The guy leading the way looks like it's about to faint from fright."
"And, it seemed like some green light just flew past us."
"That's just your imagination!" Flashy Flash said decisively.
He had, of course, also seen those green lights, and even felt Terrible Tornado's unique psychokinetic fluctuations from them.
But he chose to ignore it, because admitting he saw it would be admitting that his decision was wrong.
And that was impossible!
Big Eye in front heard the conversation between the two fiends behind it, and its huge single eye looked on the verge of tears.
A shortcut? This was clearly an abandoned ore transport tunnel, alright?
Monster King is above! Above!
But, it didn't dare to speak.
Because the handsome blonde man's blade was still subtly pressing against its back.
And the bald man's gaze, though seemingly dull, always gave it the illusion that it would be punched to smithereens the next second.
Heaven knew what sin it had committed to encounter both "Flashy Flash" and "Caped Baldy"—these two fiends—just by going to the restroom!
What was even worse was that these two fiends were both directionally challenged!
"Speaking of which," Saitama suddenly remembered something; he fumbled around but found nothing, so he looked at Flashy Flash and asked:
"Don't we have that communicator from the Hero Association? The square one with a small antenna. Why don't we just ask others if they've found any clues."
Hearing this, a trace of unnatural stiffness flashed across Flashy Flash's face.
He cleared his throat twice and said, feigning composure: "What communicator? I'm not sure. Perhaps it was lost in a previous battle."
He quickly changed the subject, his tone becoming stern: "Don't mention such useless things again! In short, now we can only rely on ourselves! And this guide!"
Saying that, he poked Big Eye's back with the hilt of his sword.
Big Eye shuddered and quickly nodded like a pounding garlic: "Yes, yes! We're almost there! The next intersection... right, turn left at the next intersection, then go straight and we'll be there!"
It had given up thinking and started talking nonsense, just hoping to live a few more seconds.
"Did you hear that, Caped Baldy!" Flashy Flash shouted confidently, as if everything was under control.
He suddenly pushed a rusty control lever and said confidently, "Turn left at the next intersection! Hold on tight!"
--------
On the other side, above the surface of Z-City.
Terrible Tornado no longer had any reservations; from her petite body, terrifying psychokinetic power poured out without reserve!
Boom!!!
A emerald green energy storm, centered on her, swept in all directions!
The stone pillar was instantly peeled away, and the rocks converged in the air into an emerald green giant dragon over a thousand meters long, roaring as it slammed fiercely into Psykos-Orochi!
However, facing this attack, which was several times stronger than before, Psykos-Orochi's face revealed a strange smile.
In her laboratory, countless research data on psychics she had collected were stored.
Among them, the most detailed records were naturally of Terrible Tornado.
Previously, she had worried that the timing was not mature enough to be effective in one blow, so she had never truly used her trump card.
But now—Terrible Tornado, in order to rescue her companions, forcibly uprooted the entire base, and her psychokinetic power must have been greatly depleted.
"The time has come." Psykos-Orochi's voice became incredibly smug.
"Uprooting the entire base, this level of rescue, even for you, must have caused an unimaginably huge expenditure, right?"
Psykos-Orochi spread her arms, feeling the endless power within her, fused with Orochi, and shouted:
"Let me show you my true strength."
The moment her voice fell, the purple psychokinetic power on Psykos-Orochi's body began to operate in an extremely strange way!
It was no longer a simple release of power, but an energy structure that was several times more complex!
"Die!"
Psykos-Orochi condensed this strange psychokinetic power into a deep purple beam of light, bypassing the giant dragon's attack, and aiming directly at Terrible Tornado's body!
"Hmm?"
Terrible Tornado's brow furrowed slightly.
She instantly analyzed that the energy intensity of the opponent's attack was not particularly high, even far less than the rock giant dragon she controlled.
But the strange way it operated, contained within it, made her feel a trace of instinctive vigilance.
She didn't meet it head-on, but instead flashed her body, trying to dodge the attack.
However, the purple beam of light seemed to have a locking function, following her like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing her!
"Interesting."
Terrible Tornado snorted coldly, no longer dodging.
She stretched out her hand, constructing a solid psychokinetic barrier in front of her, preparing to crush the attack.
However, the moment the purple beam of light touched her barrier!
A sudden change occurred!
The beam of light was not blocked; it actually drilled through Terrible Tornado's psychokinetic barrier!
"What?!"
Shock appeared in Terrible Tornado's eyes!
Her psychokinetic barrier couldn't block this attack?
No, it was that the way this psychic power operated was too strange, how did it work... Before she could think further, the deep purple beam of light, after penetrating the barrier, without losing speed, fiercely struck her forehead!
Buzz—
Terrible Tornado only felt as if her head had been violently struck by someone!
"Ugh..."
Terrible Tornado let out a painful groan, her body swayed violently in mid-air, almost falling.
She felt as if her brain was boiling.
Countless sharp noises echoed in her mind, causing her proud psychic power to temporarily lose control!
The originally majestic rock giant dragon, having lost control, disintegrated with a crash in mid-air, turning into countless fallinggravel.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Psykos-Orochi let out a hearty, unrestrained laugh.
"It worked! It worked!"
"I knew you would let your guard down, hahahaha!"
This move, "Psychic Piercing," was her ultimate killer move, specially developed after studying all of Terrible Tornado's combat data.
It seemed clever, but it could only be used once.
After all, Terrible Tornado was a combat genius; once she experienced it, she would quickly analyze the principle and devise countermeasures.
But... she wouldn't have that chance!
Psykos-Orochi no longer hesitated, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a ferocious dragon head violently swung out, fiercely striking the figure who had not yet recovered from the mental shock, sending her flying!
Terrible Tornado instantly pierced through several streets, finally crashing into a distant skyscraper and embedding herself deeply within it.
Immediately after, all the dragon heads in front of Psykos-Orochi simultaneously opened their huge mouths.
Endless energy began to condense towards the center, aimed at Terrible Tornado's figure in that building.
"Terrible Tornado! This is the end for you!"
