[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 236 - 240

Chapter 236: The Silly Super Strong One!

"The bald devil is not ranked in the Hero Association? This is definitely not because of his strength."

The universe overlord Boros thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked Lucas: "What the hell is going on?"

Lucas: "Because the senior leaders of the Hero Association don't know the true combat power of the Bald Demon King. Many of the Bald Demon King's achievements have been replaced by others."

Dongfang Yuechu: "No way? Someone actually gain the great bald devil's achievement? Didn't the bald devil destroy him? Stealing the glory of someone strong is the way to die!"

Lucas: "The bald-headed devil is not a real devil. He is a hero who goes by the name Saitama! He doesn't care about other people's opinions, and he just laughs when others take credit for his work."

Pirate King Roger: "The person who replaced his record is too lucky, right? Group Leader, can you tell us more about that person? I really want to get to know him!"

Lucas: "The man who replaced Saitama's record has the code name 'King,'. After taking credit for many of Saitama's achievements, he is known as the strongest man on the surface, but he is actually an ordinary person with little strength."

Fire Fist Ace: "Why does this person give me a familiar feeling? I seem to have met someone like that somewhere."

Pirate King Roger: "My former trainee crew member, the clown Buggy, was praised by Group Leader as having 'Luck Luck Fruit Ability.' Is his luck the same as this King should have?"

Whitebeard: "Gurararara! That lucky red nose? I remember him! Even though he has no strength, he has won the support of a group of powerful pirates. In the end, he was recognized by the World Government in a confused way and became a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Senju Tobirama: "Clown Buggy? I remember! This guy joined our world federation with the redhead Shanks and got a good job. If you think about it, this guy's luck is really good."

Lucas: "The King of this world is the same! Although he doesn't have the funny red nose like the clown Buggy, he has a wonderful heart—the sound of his heartbeat is several times louder than that of ordinary people."

Fire Fist Ace: "The heartbeat is louder than ordinary people? This ability is the same as the clown Buggy's red nose. There is nothing to praise."

Lucas: "No~ Every time King is in danger, his heartbeat will speed up wildly, and the heartbeat will make a huge noise like an engine. Others don't know the specialness of his heart and regard it as King's trick—The King Engine!"

Holy Keisha: "It's just other people's conjectures, so no one will question it? Judging things should be as rigorous as science."

Lucas: "Keisha, you don't understand! People who believe King and Buggy the clown are powerful won't be easily convinced otherwise. Even if some people question them, others will make up explanations to convince them."

Whitebeard: "Gurararara! I have a deep understanding of this, because I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Every time that funny red nose does something embarrassing, someone who is good at making excuses will come up with a reasonable explanation for him and make him seem even greater."

Golden Lion Shiki: "An ordinary person without any strength can actually get the title of the strongest man on the surface? This title is the same as Whitebeard's 'strongest man in the world,' right? It's outrageous!"

Senju Tobirama: "The red nose in the world of pirates has ended his lucky era, and he can no longer fool around. Lord Group Leader, will King be exposed? The red nose in the world of pirates has not been exposed. Have they been revealed in the future?"

Lucas: "Who knows? But although the clown Buggy and King have average strengths, their ability to make friends is really strong. The clown Buggy and the Four Emperors' redhead Shanks are close friends, and King also has a good relationship with the bald devil."

Pirate King Roger: "The ability to make friends is also part of luck! Shanks and Buggy were partners when they were apprentice pirates on my ship. Why did the bald demon king become friends with the King who take his credit away him?"

Lucas: "Maybe it's because King's game skills are very good, while the bald devil's game skills are bad. Even if King only uses one finger, he can still beat the bald devil in games."

Boros, the overlord of the universe: "What are you kidding me? That's the super strong one who can defeat me. How can he become friends with the weak for such ridiculous reasons as playing games?"

Lucas: "Boros, don't project your ideas onto the bald-headed demon king. Although he has the same desire for powerful enemies and hot-blooded battles as you, he does not exclude fun in his daily life."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

After a long struggle, Golden Lion Shiki determined that his Float-Float Fruit ability was not as convenient as telekinesis in manipulating objects.

Shiki firmly believed that he would not fail if he used swordsmanship and Haki in melee combat against Tatsumaki. But if he just used his Float-Float Fruit ability to compete with the opponent, Shiki felt that he would definitely lose.

"Your body doesn't seem to be strong. Can you handle melee combat?" Shiki moved forward and swung two golden long swords towards Tatsumaki.

"Melee? What a joke!" Tatsumaki replied confidently.

"Is this something you can decide?"

Tatsumaki's body flashed green light, hovering in the air and proudly opening her mouth as a powerful psychic force blocked Shiki, who was charging towards her.

Mind power was a part of her body, and it was the strongest part. She never chose to engage enemies in melee combat.

Looking at her light and delicate appearance, anyone could see that her body was very fragile and could not withstand the impact of physical battles.

"That's enough!" Lucas raised his hand and released a powerful psychic force to stop the fight between Shiki and Tatsumaki.

[CHAT GROUP]

Golden Lion Shiki: "Group Leader, why are you stopping us? I haven't decided the winner with her yet!"

Lucas: "Don't make trouble! Your Float-Float Fruit ability has obviously lost to her telekinesis. If you lose, you lose. Don't be a sore loser!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "I can't afford to lose. I admit that my Float-Float Fruit ability can't beat her mind power. I admit defeat in that aspect, but I want to compete with her in all aspects of strength."

Lucas: "People from the Hero Association have seen the situation here through satellites, and their reinforcements are coming. There will be many top heroes of the Hero Association. Do you want to take this opportunity to compete with them?"

Pirate King Roger: "I want to! It's a rare opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it. Group Leader, summon us!"

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, when did you get telekinetic power?"

Lucas: "My spiritual power is not weak, especially after I became the Ten Tails Jinchūriki. What I lacked was the means to turn spiritual power into telekinesis. The Mind Stone and the power of the phoenix helped me complete this step."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas looked at Tatsumaki and smiled. "It seems that the Hero Association really cares about you! After realizing that you were in danger, they immediately called all the heroes they could reach."

Tatsumaki looked at Lucas vigilantly and asked, "Who the hell are you? You have a more powerful mind than me."

Lucas shook his head and smiled. "I said that I have no ill intentions. Why are you so suspicious of me?"

Tatsumaki said disdainfully, "How could I not be vigilant around a guy like you who is so powerful and arrogant? It's not easy for me to relax my guard. Tell me your purpose."

Lucas said with a smile: "We are visitors from another world, and our purpose here is very simple. I heard that there are many strong people on this planet, and my friends and I want to compete with them."

Lucas glanced at the sky in the distance where a jet was approaching quickly.

"The heroes of the association are coming soon, and so are my friends."

"Remember to keep things peaceful. I hope everyone can have a good time."

Lucas looked at the slowly descending jet plane and the group members arriving from the Otherworld with a big smile on his face.

With a single movement, Lucas immediately disappeared, leaving that location with his space ability, and appeared in the no-man's land where the bald demon king lived.

"Who are you?" The bald devil, who was playing games at home, looked at Lucas who suddenly appeared with a puzzled face. He looked a little cute.

[CHAT GROUP]

Uchiha Madara: "Is this the bald devil? The gap between him and my imagination is too big."

Howard Stark: "This guy looks funny. Is he really powerful? I feel like he is more like a comedian."

Thomas Wayne: "I think he looks like a joke!"

Lucas: "What do you know? This is the style of a truly strong man. Although his appearance and character are very casual, it is undeniable that the strength of the bald demon king is extraordinary."

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "But he looks stupid. To say that this kind of person is super strong... um, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. First Hokage is also stupid, and he is also super strong!"

Senju Hashirama: "Hey!"

Chapter 237: Everyone is Excited!

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

In the desert, led by Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai, a group of heroes from the Hero Association descended from the jet.

Silver Fang smiled and said to Tatsumaki, "It looks like you're in trouble! Are these guys strong?"

Tatsumaki huffed, "Who asked you to come? These guys aren't something you can deal with. If you hadn't come, I could have easily gotten away. Now that you're here, be careful not to become a burden to me."

Atomic Samurai pondered, "It seems these guys are really strong to make the arrogant Tatsumaki say something like 'getting away'! But looking at their appearance, they don't seem to be monsters."

Silver Fang squinted his old eyes and said slowly, "That's not necessarily true. Have you seen any cracks on their bodies? Maybe their monstrous characteristics are inconspicuous!"

When Pirate King Roger, who had just rushed over from Otherworld, heard this, he immediately said unhappily, "Who said we're monsters? Although our current state can't be called completely human, we're definitely not monsters."

Sword God Ryuma looked at Atomic Samurai and said eagerly, "That person's swordsmanship seems very strong. I'll choose him as my opponent!"

Pirate King Roger pulled out the "Ace" saber, laughed and said, "That's not possible! There are too little opponent here. We have to fight for opponents ourselves."

After saying this, Pirate King Roger rushed toward Atomic Samurai, determined to claim him as an opponent before Sword God Ryuma could.

"Stop!"

Sword God Ryuma gave a low shout with annoyance and chased after Roger without saying another word. The two hadn't even fought against Atomic Samurai yet, and they were already fighting each other.

"???"

Looking at Sword God Ryuma and Pirate King Roger who were stumbling over each other while rushing towards him, Atomic Samurai had a deeply puzzled expression on his face.

"Infighting?" he wondered.

"Jihahaha!"

"I knew that Roger bastard wasn't following the plan."

Golden Lion Shiki laughed, not surprised by the scene in front of him.

As long as Roger was present, there could never be a plan or order.

[ELSEWHERE]

Lucas looked at Saitama in front of him, directly used Rinnegan's dojutsu, and took him to the independent space.

Saitama cried out in panic, flailed in mid-air, and finally landed on the snow-covered ground.

"Snap!"

After Saitama fell, his clothes that didn't conform to normal fashion standards also fell on his head.

"What the heck?"

"You brought me to this place for no reason. Are you some kind of weirdo?"

Saitama muttered unhappily as he put on his hero costume.

[CHAT GROUP]

Uchiha Madara: "Is this guy really that strong? It's totally unacceptable for a strong person to have this style."

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "Senju Hashirama's style isn't much better than his. Didn't you also love and fight him for a lifetime?"

Uchiha Madara: "Fuck off! I can barely accept Hashirama's style, let alone this guy."

Senju Tobirama: "Could it be that his funny style reminds you of being suppressed by my big brother?"

Space Overlord Boros: "Don't underestimate him. You'll know his true horror very soon."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Saitama, who had put on his hero costume, suddenly became serious. His appearance changed drastically compared to before.

"State your purpose!" Saitama clenched his fists and looked at Lucas with sharp eyes.

"To fight with you!" Lucas said bluntly, while simultaneously removing the Infinity Stones.

Saitama's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Really? Then I'll be happy to meet your request!"

BOOM!

As soon as he finished speaking, Saitama threw a punch. The powerful fist opened a huge passage in front of him, and terrifying energy surged towards Lucas. This force was enough to easily shatter a mountain.

"Good! Come on!" Lucas laughed and bombarded the air in front of him repeatedly. Air cannons like beams of light shot towards Saitama.

" Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

This was one of the Ninja World's top taijutsu techniques, a physical attack that could only be released by the body of a Ten Tails Jinchūriki. The dense air cannons shattered the energy that Saitama had released and enveloped Saitama's body.

DONG! DONG! DONG!

The entire ice and snow world seemed to usher in doomsday. Endless gusts of wind began to sweep across the landscape, and one mountain range after another was smashed by the air waves.

"What a strong body!" Lucas lamented Saitama's physical strength—as expected of a man who had removed his limiter.

Lucas had absorbed a lot of magic power, but even his Ten Tails Jinchūriki's strong body couldn't be said to be stronger than Saitama's.

[CHAT GROUP]

Uchiha Madara: "Can a pure taijutsu attack do such a thing? It's an eye-opener!"

Senju Hashirama: "Perhaps because of physical limitations, our Ninja World doesn't have much potential for taijutsu."

Lucas: "The taijutsu in the Ninja World has little potential? Don't be kidding! Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack I just used is from the Ninja World. It's a move that can destroy Six Paths powerhouses with physical attacks alone."

Senju Tobirama: " Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack? It feels similar to the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan! The Gentle Fist must be derived from it, right?"

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "The reason why taijutsu has limitations in the Ninja World is because of a major drawback—recoil!"

Uchiha Shisui: "That's right! The more power you use to attack others, the more shock your own body will endure. And ninjas' bodies are generally fragile and not strong enough to withstand such impacts."

Senju Hashirama: "The Sage Body of our Senju family doesn't have this trouble, and the strange force technique can also mitigate the shock of physical attacks to a large extent. Of course, even so, taijutsu isn't as easy to use as ninjutsu."

Namikaze Minato: "Group Leader! Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack Strike you just used can't be used by just anyone, right? Ordinary people don't have such powerful strength, nor can they withstand that kind of overloaded exertion."

Lucas: "That's right! At minimum, you need the physique of a Ten Tails Jinchūriki, otherwise you won't be able to use the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. But don't underestimate the physiques in the Ninja World. Even without the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, the physical skills that people with noble physiques can practice are also very terrifying."

Uchiha Madara: "How terrifying?"

Lucas: "In the original future, Uchiha Madara who became Ten Tails Jinchūriki was almost killed by taijutsu."

Uchiha Madara: "Are you kidding?"

Lucas: "No! The Konoha Forbidden Technique Eight Inner Gates can release incomparably terrifying strength. A Konoha Jōnin using this technique almost kicked you to death."

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Senju Tobirama: "Was Uchiha Madara being arrogant at the time? If he hadn't been arrogant, would that Konoha Jōnin have had any chance to hurt him at all?"

Lucas: "Second Hokage, you know Uchiha Madara too well!"

Uchiha Madara: "It's not your friends who know you best, but your enemies. That mediocre Tobirama has always considered me a great enemy, so it's not surprising he knows me so well."

Space Overlord Boros: "Group Leader, your body is also very strong! How did you train yourself to be able to compete with this bald devil in such a head-to-head physical competition?"

Lucas: "How did my body develop? I absorbed a Super Ten Tails, which contained two Ten Tails and the chakra of four Six Paths-level powerhouses. I absorbed the magic power of eight demons, which included the Demons and Earth Demons that strengthen the body.

I've absorbed the magic power of the mask and magical spells, including self-healing, immortality and bull spells that strengthen the body. I've also absorbed energy from the dark dimension, enhancing my life form and strengthening my physical power.

Of course, there's also the sixth sense from the world of Stealing Stars that can improve physical fitness a hundredfold, and the physical energy obtained after developing the top talents from the world of pirates. By the way, I also have passive skills that improve my own strength."

Space Overlord Boros: "That configuration is complicated! No wonder you can fight with this bald devil. But have you noticed? This bald devil seems to get stronger and stronger as the fight continues."

Lucas: "The place where we're fighting now is my personal space—the dojutsu obtained after opening the Rinnegan on the forehead Amenominaka! Why do you think I brought him here to fight?"

Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, have you discovered something?"

Lucas: "The Infinity Stones and the Phoenix Force have terrifying powers in the Marvel world, and so does the power of the bald hero in front of me. I can feel a steady stream of energy from outside entering this space and flowing into his body, making him stronger."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas laughed as he watched Saitama growing stronger during their battle. Lightning, flames, and vibrations appeared on Lucas's fists. He mixed them perfectly with Armament Haki and punched forward.

"Come on!" Saitama shouted with a frenzied expression, his whole being excited. "This is the battle I've been looking forward to—the feeling of blood boiling!"

"Let me see where your limits are!" Lucas stared at Saitama as various abilities circulated through his hands. Even the Infinity Stones that he had removed earlier returned to their places.

He didn't use this power immediately. He was just concerned that Saitama's strength might suddenly skyrocket, and he didn't want to be caught off guard.

Chapter 238: Becoming Bald and Stronger!

[CHAT GROUP]

Space Overlord Boros: "The last time I fought with the bald devil, I was very excited. But the bald devil at that time gave me the feeling that he was still calm."

Howard Stark: "Isn't it simple? This shows that you weren't strong enough to ignite his fighting spirit. The battle between you two was only exciting for you—the bald devil didn't feel anything at all."

Space Overlord Boros: "..."

Sebastian Shaw: "Group Leader, has the strength of the bald demon king improved more and more?"

Lucas: "Of course! But I feel that he has reached his limit. I can handle this kind of combat power. The bald devil has the power of the whole world, and I also have a full body of Imperial armor to enhance my combat power."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas and Saitama fought more and more fiercely, their strength constantly increasing. With the fierce confrontation between them, the entire ice and snow space was pierced, revealing a passage that could lead to other dimensions.

"What? Something seems to be broken. Is that a problem?" Saitama looked at the broken space and asked awkwardly.

"It's okay. I can easily put everything back as it was!" Lucas said indifferently. Powerful pupil energy flowed from his eyes, and the destroyed space quickly recovered.

Lucas looked at Saitama and said, "This battle will end here! If we continue to fight, there will be no clear winner."

Saitama touched his bald head and smiled. "Okay! You are really strong—about 15 times stronger than all the enemies I've encountered before. Since I became stronger, I have never fought so happily."

[CHAT GROUP]

Space Overlord Boros: "Group Leader, how did this bald devil become so strong?"

Lucas: "He is the son of destiny, and he doesn't need a logical reason to become stronger. It's just like his art style and character design—the reason he became stronger is also quite ridiculous."

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, how did the bald devil become stronger? I want to hear this ridiculous reason."

Lucas: "How can I explain it? A few years ago, the bald devil was just an ordinary office worker. One time, when he was off work, he fought with a monster, defeated the opponent, and saved a little boy. At that time, he remembered his childhood dream of becoming a hero who fights monsters."

Howard Stark: "Then with this belief, he became stronger for no reason? That's too much like a fairy tale. It seems that if you have faith, you can be invincible."

Sebastian Shaw: "I feel the same! With firm belief, you can become infinitely stronger—many popular stories tell this same tale."

Lucas: "It's not just as simple as having firm belief. Saitama has done very hard training to become stronger."

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "He became stronger through training? This way of becoming stronger is quite inspiring. Rather than relying on talent and bloodline to become stronger, it's not bad to gain strength through hard work."

Uchiha Madara: "I feel like you're indirectly mocking me, but unfortunately I have no evidence. Still, I'm very unhappy about it."

Senju Tobirama: "How did the bald devil train himself? If this training method is feasible, I could consider promoting it in the ninja world."

Lucas: "Want to know the bald devil's training method? Then listen to this—100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day. This intense training regimen took three years."

Space Overlord Boros: "Is the Group Leader kidding? How can such a simple training routine produce a powerhouse like the bald demon king?"

Lucas: "That's why I said he's the son of destiny, and the reason for his incredible strength is particularly ridiculous. But he has paid a price for becoming stronger—all his black and shiny hair is gone. He's become stronger, but also bald."

Uchiha Madara: "What kind of price is baldness compared to such powerful strength?"

Lucas: "Madara, are you willing to trade your hair for strength?"

Uchiha Madara: ""

Uchiha Madara's mind began to imagine himself fighting with a shiny bald head, punching through obstacles and overpowering Senju Hashirama's Wood Style techniques...

No, this style doesn't suit me!

Uchiha Madara suddenly realized that he still preferred his long flowing hair. Although losing hair might make him stronger, having hair made him look handsome!

Uchiha Madara sadly found that he had been reduced to caring about appearances, willing to give up the opportunity to become stronger for the sake of looking good.

After thinking about it, Uchiha Madara spoke in the chat group: "@Senju Hashirama, are you willing to give up your hair for power?"

Senju Hashirama: "This..."

Uchiha Madara breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that Hashirama was like him!

Howard Stark: "Isn't it just hair? As long as I can get the power of the bald devil, I am willing to give up my hair. Not just for the bald devil's power—even for a fraction of such power, I'd sacrifice my hair."

Sebastian Shaw: "Me too! It's just hair. I could always get a headgear or a wig."

Howard Stark: "Exactly! Who would refuse such powerful physical abilities? With that kind of power, couldn't you become a perpetual motion machine?"

Lucas: "Howard, your thinking is really strange! With such powerful strength, you only want to use it as an energy source?"

Sword God Ryuma: "The heroes in this world are good, but the number of top heroes is a bit limited. We have many here, and the heroes aren't evenly matched with us!"

Pirate King Roger: "It's true! If we hadn't fought each other to compete for opponents, the heroes on the other side would have been defeated by us long ago."

Lucas: "You come from different worlds, different eras, and different factions. The number of strong people combined must be more than the strong people of the Hero Association. What's so strange about that?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahahaha! That's right, the powerhouses on the opposite side are only members of one organization in this world. Group Leader, are there many monsters and powerful beings in this world?"

Lucas: "I can't say there are a lot, but there are definitely many. If you feel that fighting the heroes isn't enough, then I'll take you to deal with some monsters. I happen to know that there's a group of monsters with quite a few experts among them."

Pirate King Roger: "Group Leader, do you want to bring these heroes with you? I found that they're quite good. Dealing with monsters together can help us build bonds with each other."

Lucas: "???"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Roger, that idiot, made friends with these heroes not long after fighting them. But I think it's better not to bring these heroes—I'm afraid there won't be enough opponents to go around."

Sword God Ryuma: "I also think it's better not to bring heroes. It would be very troublesome. After all, some heroes also have strange appearances, and it would be difficult to distinguish who's who."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

After being brought out by Lucas from the space, Saitama warmly invited Lucas to visit his home. However, Lucas rejected his offer, saying he still had things to deal with.

Saitama said disappointedly, "Is that so? That's a pity! By the way, are you also a hero from the Hero Association? I feel that you should be a monster. How can humans have so many complex abilities?"

Lucas laughed. "It's not wrong to say I'm a monster, since that ability is one of my powers. Next, I'm going to bring my friends here, so don't attack them automatically."

After telling Saitama this, the Space Stone on Lucas's finger glowed, directly summoning everyone from far away in the desert.

Saitama, who watched this scene, was impressed. He pointed to Lucas's Space Stone and asked, "Is it the ability of this gem? This ability is too convenient! Space-type ability, right? You don't need to walk anywhere if you have it."

Lucas glanced at Saitama and nodded with a smile. "Yes, this gem does have space power. Do you really want space-like powers?"

Saitama replied with an envious look, "Of course! If I had the ability to teleport, I could save a lot of effort every time the supermarket has a sale."

Lucas was speechless, and everyone in the chat group was even more shocked.

[CHAT GROUP]

Howard Stark: "What did the bald devil just say? I think I heard something about supermarket discounts. He can't be struggling financially, can he?"

Lucas: "Yeah! He can't even afford to rent a proper house, so he can only live in this abandoned building. Because of the monsters in the neighborhood where he lives, he's the only one living here."

Lucas: "Except for his housing, his food and clothing are basically maintained by shopping discounts at supermarkets. Of course, he also eats monsters he defeats."

Space Overlord Boros: "What…. are you kidding? Such a powerful being lives in a slum? Wouldn't he use his own power to gain wealth?"

Lucas: "Who knows? King who took credit for his achievements has become rich, while he remains poor. Maybe poverty, like his baldness, is an enemy that Saitama can't defeat."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas looked at the ground under his feet. His powerful thoughts instantly activated, directly opening a huge hole in the ground and revealing a passage leading to an underground world.

Saitama asked in confusion, "What are you doing? The road in this area is already poorly maintained. It's very troublesome to damage it further."

Lucas laughed. "Why do you think this community is uninhabited? It's because there are too many monsters underground. The frequent monster incidents here make people afraid of this place, so they've all left."

"Under this," Lucas continued, "there is a Monster Association!"

Chapter 239: Cheap Monster Cells

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

"What? There is a Monster Association underground where I live?"

Saitama showed a shocked expression on his face and immediately declared that he was going to destroy them.

"No!" Lucas shook his head firmly. "My buddies will deal with them. These monsters are their pre-selected opponents."

"If you attack, those monsters won't be able to withstand even a single punch from you."

"No one can withstand my punch?" When Saitama heard this, he suddenly lost interest in destroying the monsters. It was destined to be a simple and boring battle.

Having just fought with Lucas, Saitama was no longer interested in such one-sided encounters after experiencing such an intense fight.

Lucas waved his hand, and the group members around him moved quickly, rushing into the underground cave one by one.

Soon, the whole earth trembled. A huge figure broke out of the ground, followed by a few wooden dragons with glowing eyes.

Lucas jumped into the cave, quickly appeared in a huge underground space, and saw Whitebeard fighting a massive snake-like creature.

"Group Leader, what is this thing?" Whitebeard waved the naginata in his hand, clearly unhappy. The underground space was very unfriendly to men of his size.

His strongest Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability couldn't be used freely here. If the underground space collapsed, he and his teammates would also be buried.

Although the snake was also huge, the opponent was obviously a non-human being. The confined space couldn't limit the monster's combat effectiveness, and tentacles flew out from it in all directions.

"That's Orochi, the strongest monster and leader of the Monster Association on the surface," Lucas explained. "But his strength is limited. Even Saitama's casual punches would be too much for him."

Lucas's understated description made Whitebeard depressed. The power gap was too great!

"Who are you?" Monster King Orochi noticed Lucas. Tentacles flew towards him but were stopped in mid-air by Lucas's telekinetic grip.

"Group Leader, this guy is really troublesome!" Whitebeard looked at the giant snake that Lucas had stopped. "To defeat him requires either overwhelming strength or special skills. He'll easily learn any combat moves used against him."

Whitebeard explained with some frustration that the snake had just effortlessly learned his swordsmanship techniques.

Fortunately, his swordsmanship was used in conjunction with his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, making it worthless for the Monster King to learn it by itself. And the opponent obviously couldn't learn Haki, which further reduced the effectiveness of the copied swordsmanship.

"This guy is just a puppet on the surface. He's not worth worrying about," Lucas said. "Since you can't fight freely here, then you can continue in Rinnegan space!"

Lucas smiled slightly, and his powerful psychic power instantly enveloped the entire underground area, pulling everyone who was fighting into the Rinnegan space.

There, they wouldn't have to worry about being buried alive by the destruction they caused. In the Rinnegan space, there was no need for such concerns.

After sending away the group members and monsters, the Space Stone in Lucas's hand glowed. He teleported directly to 1,500 meters underground and appeared in a huge laboratory.

A young woman with black-rimmed glasses appeared before Lucas. She looked very beautiful with her long, wavy hair.

The young woman looked at Lucas and said solemnly, "Who are you? You shouldn't exist in this world."

[CHAT GROUP]

Seeing the young woman through Lucas's eyes, the group members asked with surprise, curious about her identity.

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, what special status does this woman have? An ordinary beautiful woman shouldn't be enough to attract your attention."

Lucas: "If I told you this woman is the true boss behind the Monster Association, and that even the Monster King was created by her, would you believe it?"

Sebastian Shaw: "This woman created the Monster Association and created Monster King Orochi? It seems she has ambitious goals! Does she share the same ideology as me?"

Senju Tobirama: "The same ideology as you? You mean she transformed herself into a monster like you did, and then wanted to build an empire of monsters?"

Sword God Ryuma: "Speaking of this, can ordinary people become monsters? When I fought with the heroes earlier, they seemed to have mentioned similar topics."

Lucas: "Ordinary people can indeed become monsters. Special obsessions and strong inner desires can transform humans into monsters. Of course, people can also become monsters through other means even without such characteristics."

Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, you just said that strong will in one's heart can turn people into monsters, right? That feels similar to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!"

Lucas: "You're right about that! If Uchiha Obito had been born in this world, he would definitely have become a powerful monster after experiencing his trauma."

Thomas Wayne: "Since humans can become monsters, why hasn't this woman transformed herself? If she established a Monster Association, shouldn't she be yearning to join their side?"

Lucas: "To be precise, she's on Earth's side. The monsters are just her tools, and protecting the Earth is her ultimate goal."

Sebastian Shaw: "So that's how it is. I thought I'd found a kindred spirit! So she's made a grand plan to transform the world like I did?"

Lucas: "Like you? You intended to start a nuclear war to create more mutants. Although she has a strong desire to reduce human numbers, she has no plans to start a nuclear war."

Sebastian Shaw: "I see! The birth of mutants is related to nuclear radiation, while the creation of monsters has little to do with radiation."

Lucas: "That's not entirely true. If she just wants to increase the number of monsters, she already has a stable method. She has developed monster cells, and ordinary people can transform into monsters immediately after consuming them."

Senju Tobirama: "She actually created such a thing? Her scientific abilities must be very impressive!"

Lucas: "Her scientific talent is only one reason the monster cells were developed. Another important reason is the help she received from the Earth itself."

Howard Stark: "The creation of monster cells can accelerate the decline of humanity, so it makes sense that the Earth would assist her. But for this woman to betray humanity like this? She must have experienced something traumatic!"

Sebastian Shaw: "If you're saying she wants to protect the Earth out of pure kindness, that seems a bit hard to believe."

Lucas: "She has the ability to see the future, and what she saw made her change her position. Originally, she was the vice president of the Psychic Research Association. Psykos—Tatsumaki who was just fighting Golden Lion Shiki—is the president of the Psychic Research Association."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas looked at Psykos in front of him and said indifferently, "Although I don't fully understand your motivations, I think your memories will give me the answers I need."

His powerful psychic force locked onto Psykos, making her expression darken. Even Tatsumaki, the strongest esper she had ever encountered, didn't possess such overwhelming psychic power.

The Mind Stone and Soul Stone in Lucas's hands glowed simultaneously as he read Psykos's memories. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "You want to help the Earth by reducing both the number and power of humans, so that humanity can continue to exist in a sustainable way?"

Psykos gave up resistance and replied calmly, "Yes! If history continues on its current path, the future is hopeless. Human power needs to be reduced and controlled. Only this way can humans and the Earth develop in harmony."

Lucas said, "You should discuss this idea with the top officials of the Hero Association."

Psykos sneered, "It would be useless! Implementing my ideas would damage many human power structures. Do you think those people would sacrifice their own interests for the sake of humanity as a whole? They would never do that!"

Lucas nodded and said, "You're right! Human greed and short-sightedness need no explanation. After all, long-term interests mean nothing to many people."

Psykos was speechless. Whose side was he on?

Lucas laughed, "But you don't need to worry. I'll help you convince the human leadership. If they don't see reason, then we'll simply replace them."

[RINNEGAN SPACE]

Whitebeard and the others had finished their battles. The group members who fought without restraint, relying on their endless physical strength and immortality, had solved their encounters in extremely simple and direct ways.

[CHAT GROUP]

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, can you get some monster cells for me to research?"

Lucas: "Are you lacking research materials? The things I've already given you should be enough to keep you busy for several years!"

Howard Stark: "As a scientist, it's my instinct to want to study interesting things when I see them. Even if I don't have time now, I can save them for later study!"

Senju Tobirama: "That's right! Even if you don't have enough time and energy to study them thoroughly, it's good to have some to satisfy your curiosity."

Lucas: "No problem! Monster cells aren't particularly valuable anyway. They're mass-produced in the Monster Association."

Howard Stark: "They're that cheap?"

Lucas: "What did you expect? They're cheap enough to be sold wholesale! If they were in limited supply, wouldn't that greatly increase their value?"

Chapter 240: Batman is Treated So Well!

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

"I'm sorry!"

"The treaty you proposed is too harsh, and it will cause great damage to human development."

"What's more, we don't believe you yet. What proof do you have that what you said is true?"

The top human leaders in the world of One Punch Man rightfully rejected Psykos' proposal and questioned Lucas and Psykos' motives.

"See? I knew they wouldn't agree." Psykos shrugged at Lucas, saying that she had expected this reaction.

The human leaders in the One Punch World looked serious. "We are acting for the good of humanity!"

Psykos said disdainfully, "Stop with the act! The reason you reject this is because the real crisis won't break out during your lifetime. 'Why worry about the flood after I'm dead?' is what you're really thinking. Stop pretending you care about humanity."

After a pause, Psykos said sarcastically, "And you're all making your little calculations, thinking that even if the real crisis comes, those of you who are wealthy or powerful can secure precious places to survive, right?"

"But I'm telling you, your calculations are completely wrong. If this planet collapses, you have nowhere to go. Don't think that the alien technology that appeared recently will allow your descendants to complete interstellar migration."

"I can see the future, and I can tell you with certainty that the interstellar migration plan you've prepared is doomed to fail. Of course, I will also stop you, because your so-called migration plan only saves a small portion of people."

Lucas sighed, "This is bad enough! But I've seen plenty of human nature at its worst, so I'm not surprised. Let me change your minds—since you keep saying that everything you do is for humanity's sake, then you should actually act like it from now on!"

"Divine Mind Manipulation [Shin'i Kaisha]!"

Lucas's thoughts about what was truly best for the people were imprinted on the minds of the human leaders. They immediately changed their perspective and decided to make adjustments for the future of the entire human race.

Lucas released a powerful spiritual force, communicated with the will of the Earth, and coordinated the relationship between the two sides.

"You can actually communicate with the will of the Earth?" Psykos was shocked. She knew better than anyone the power of the Earth's will.

An ordinary person without any special traits could become a Dragon-level monster comparable to an S-class hero with the help of the Earth's will. If the will of the Earth were considered a monster, it would undoubtedly be a God-level threat capable of destroying humanity, perhaps even beyond God-level!

"This is nothing," Lucas smiled, his expression calm. "Don't talk about the will of a planet. Destroying a planet would be nothing to me."

It was a pity that this wasn't the Marvel world, and the power of the Infinity Stones to transform reality had been severely weakened here. Otherwise, Lucas could have even created an Earth 2 for them.

[DC WORLD]

Lucas didn't stay in the One Punch world for long because the drastic world transformation beginning there wasn't particularly attractive to him. After completing his objectives, Lucas returned to the DC world.

The last time he left had been in a hurry, and he'd even forgotten to leave behind someone to monitor this world. Afterward, Lucas realized it wasn't a problem to have resurrected Thomas Wayne, as long as he wasn't allowed to meet Batman.

As long as Thomas Wayne didn't meet Batman, Lucas could continue to help Batman, treat his nearly terminal paranoia, and prevent him from having an "Batman who laugh" incident someday.

[GOTHAM CITY]

Looking at the chaotic streets with cops and gangsters in a shootout, Lucas showed a stunned expression. Had Gotham City welcomed another day of "peace"?

Moving instantly, Lucas found Catwoman, whom he had befriended earlier, and asked what had happened in Gotham City and if Batman was okay.

Catwoman explained, "Batman was defeated by a super villain named Bane, and now Gotham City is in chaos. Fortunately, some gangs are still maintaining order; otherwise, the whole city would be in complete disarray."

[CHAT GROUP]

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Did I hear that right? The gangs are the ones maintaining order?"

Lucas: "Classic Gotham City is no joke. The gangs are the enforcers and defenders here."

Thomas Wayne: "Group Leader, Bruce has been defeated. Hurry and find him—I'm afraid he might die if we delay!"

Lucas: "Don't worry, Batman isn't so easy to kill. I've found him. He's receiving treatment in Arkham. It's quite ironic, actually. I never expected Batman to be thrown into Arkham one day."

Lucas teleported from the outside world and appeared in a ward of Arkham Asylum, where he saw Bruce being attended to.

Thomas Wayne: "What happened to Bruce? He looks completely paralyzed!"

Lucas: "If I'm not mistaken, the super-villain Bane broke his spine. But don't worry, Batman never follows logic. Even if he were beaten to the point where only one cell remained, he could still recover through sheer willpower."

Space Overlord Boros: "I have a bad feeling that Batman's recovery ability isn't as unreasonable as Saitama's, right?"

Lucas: "Yeah! Batman is just a mortal person, but his recovery ability is incredible. Even sleeping only one hour a day, he can be full of energy, and he can recover from a fatal injury in just a few days. To be honest, even you might not have this kind of ability!"

Senju Tobirama: "Power without reason, power without explanation?"

Lucas: "Exactly! As far as Batman's current injury is concerned, it's the kind that ordinary people couldn't recover from in a lifetime. But for him, he can recover in a few days, and it might even make him stronger than before."

Uchiha Madara: "Indeed! I can sense the unscientific life force within him that is speeding up the healing of his wounds."

Thomas Wayne: "Group Leader, can you speed up the process? Seeing Bruce like this is heartbreaking."

Lucas: "Okay! I'm not interested in watching Batman's life on a hospital bed either. I'll help him recover quickly."

Just as Lucas was about to treat Batman, the Joker walked in and said cheerfully, "Bruce, I'm here to see you again!"

Lucas paused and decided to remain a qualified spectator.

Batman gave the Joker a cold look, then turned his head away, refusing to look at him.

"La~ Batman, don't be so cold to me, okay?" The Joker said with a face of resentment. "It's not because of me that you ended up like this. It's clearly because you couldn't control your lower body."

Batman's eyelids twitched as he angrily said, "Shut up!"

The Joker said proudly, "Did I hit a sore spot? Liking women is your weakness. If your choice had been me—"

Batman interrupted with a dark face, "I'd rather die!"

The Joker said solemnly, "Bruce, a man who pays too much attention to appearance is superficial. Our spirit is the same—we're a match made in heaven. Why don't you come and learn about my spirit?"

Batman sneered, "I don't want to be a lunatic like you! Why are you still in Arkham if you're not planning some evil?"

The Joker said affectionately, "Of course it's because of you!"

Batman looked at the Joker expressionlessly, and the Joker said helplessly, "Okay! I admit that I want to get out of here, but I can't do it!"

The Joker suddenly changed his expression and said shyly, "This must be the intention of fate, letting us take advantage of this time to develop our relationship. From now on, I will be by your side every day. Aren't you happy?"

"Happy!" The Joker asked and answered his own question, responding joyfully to Batman, clearly having a great time.

Batman felt that his whole life had taken a dark turn—even while seriously injured, he had to face the Joker's harassment.

[CHAT GROUP]

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, what happened with Batman not controlling his lower body?"

Sebastian Shaw: "I'm also curious. Is that why he was defeated by the super-villain?"

Lucas: "Maybe! Before Batman fought Bane, he spent all night with a woman named Miranda. Maybe it was the lack of energy from staying up too long, or decreased physical function due to excessive fatigue... Anyway, he was defeated in the next battle!"

Howard Stark: "Isn't it said that Batman only needs one hour of sleep a day to be full of energy? It seems that wasn't enough in this case."

Sebastian Shaw: "Physical exertion affecting his condition makes sense."

Thomas Wayne: "Could that woman have drugged Bruce?"

Lucas: "It's possible! Otherwise, her pregnancy would be hard to explain!"

Thomas Wayne: "She's pregnant? Then she must be innocent."

Lucas: "You're selling out your own son?"

Thomas Wayne: "What does it matter? Bruce won't die anyway. Let him suffer a little—he'll remember the lesson! He's obviously a playboy, and he doesn't even have children yet. It's truly outrageous."

Lucas: "Let him have a long memory? I'm afraid that's very difficult. I gave him electric shocks for so long and it didn't cure him."

Thomas Wayne: "Group Leader, didn't you seal all the super villains in Arkham? Could it be that Bane wasn't there the last time you came to Arkham?"

Lucas: "Maybe! Batman's opponents are a bunch of lunatics, and I'm not interested in remembering them all. They won't kill your son anyway, so why are you so worried? Didn't you see that even when Bane defeated Batman, he didn't kill him?"

Howard Stark: "True! A group of opponents who don't kill him, plus an unreasonable recovery ability—Batman is treated so well!"
