Chapter 593: Chapter 593: God
Fubuki's Home
Rei Ao glanced around.
"Your place is…kind of a mess."
While the apartment was quite spacious, clothing lay scattered all over—some of it rather suggestive undergarments.
"Ahem!"
Fubuki cleared her throat in embarrassment.
"I'm hardly ever here. Plus, I've got Blizzard Group stuff to take care of, so I don't have time to tidy up."
"Then maybe you should clean up a bit."
"Huh? Is that really necessary?"
Rei Ao spread his hands, exasperated.
"I can't just stay in a junk heap, can I?"
"Uh…"
Fubuki's cheeks reddened. She scratched her head, looking guilty.
"Alright, I—I'll clean it up now."
"And make sure to take a bath after."
"Yes, I know! Geez, you're that impatient?"
Fubuki mumbled under her breath. He already has so many women—why's he so eager? She couldn't help wondering if she had that much appeal.
Meanwhile, Rei Ao wasn't overthinking any of that. He was using this time to locate the world's Essence.
…
The Monster Association
An organization composed entirely of monsters—naturally, they were at odds with the Hero Association. Hidden deep underground beneath the city, the Monster Association possessed tremendous power, including multiple Dragon-level monsters strong enough to rival or even surpass S-Class heroes.
Their leader was named "Orochi," also known as the "Monster King." Resembling a being entwined with renewable dragon-like appendages, Orochi was considered the association's ultimate combat force.
But few people knew that "Monster King Orochi" was actually created by a human.
Inside a certain room at Monster Association HQ, a young woman with blueish-purple wavy hair and black-framed glasses lounged on a sofa, elegantly sipping red wine. This was Psykos.
She had once been vice-president of the Psychic Research Society. Now, she was the mastermind who created both the Monster King Orochi and the entire Monster Association, effectively controlling it from behind the scenes. Almost no one saw her true identity; she publicly appeared in the form of "Evil Eye," a Dragon-level monster puppet.
Why such a drastic change? It all started because she glimpsed the "future."
Originally, Psykos had lesser abilities than her Society president, Fubuki. Hoping to grow stronger, she studied a power called the "Third Eye," which could foresee the future. What she saw in humanity's future shocked her so deeply that she decided humanity must be destroyed to prevent a catastrophic outcome.
She proposed the "Psychic Research Society's Plan for Humanity's Eradication," but most members rejected it. Undeterred, she formed the Monster Association to pursue her goals. Thus, her ambition went beyond wiping out humans—she wanted to create a new world ruled by monsters. By distributing "monster cells," she could transform humans into monsters, aiming to rewrite the world's order. She felt her goal was now within reach.
A memory flickered in her eyes.
"Fubuki… I wonder how you'll react when I prove my beliefs are right?"
"!!!"
Suddenly, Psykos froze. Her Third Eye activated on its own, showing her a brand-new vision of the future.
"What is this?!"
She stared in bewilderment. The scenario she witnessed now was completely different from her previous vision. Monsters would vanish. Gods would die. The world would survive…
"???"
Psykos stared blankly, dumbfounded.
"What's going on here…?"
…
The Hero Association
Tatsumaki casually "clocked in," reporting that she'd just disposed of the Demon-level monster called Tiger King. As expected, the staff showered her with praise and fawning. Normally, she'd boast something like "that was no big deal," but today she didn't feel like it.
She recalled what she'd said to her younger sister, Fubuki, right before leaving.
"Was I too harsh?"
Tatsumaki wondered. But she didn't think she was wrong. She was just protecting her sister, after all. She didn't want Fubuki using psychic powers because… psychic abilities were dangerous. That group might come after her. She hadn't yet located them.
"Tch."
"So annoying."
She flicked her hair aside. She decided to check on Fubuki anyway, ignoring the staff's attempts to speak with her, then flew away. The Association employees stood there, confused.
…
"The world's Essence seems to be wrapped in something else."
Rei Ao frowned in puzzlement. He'd been searching for the Essence of this world. Normally, it would be sealed behind the world's barrier, but he didn't see any barrier. Instead, he saw a mass of flesh-like substance.
Sensing Rei Ao's presence, the fleshy mass quivered, slowly morphing into a… giant. It wasn't exactly human—though it had a humanoid shape and was immense. Rei Ao quickly identified it.
"A god?"
[God]
[Level]: 56
[Ability]: "True Nature Unknown"
He recalled that in One Punch Man, there was indeed a mysterious "God." But why was it here? Closer inspection revealed that it had somehow encased the world barrier.
One possibility came to mind, making Rei Ao's expression turn wry.
"Are you trying to seize the world's Essence but can't break through the barrier?"
"…"
The god didn't speak. It simply clenched a massive fist and swung it at the minuscule Rei Ao.
"Ah, so you sense a threat and go straight to violence, huh?"
Rei Ao smirked derisively.
"What a useless god you are."
He didn't bother dodging. As the colossal fist crashed down, Rei Ao merely puffed out a light breath toward it.
"Hoo…"
Crack!
