“KING… has defeated powerful monsters multiple times, but his attack methods remain a mystery to this day. There is no video footage left. He is truly an extremely mysterious man,” another clone said as they approached.
“Legend has it that before he makes his move, you can hear the roar of his ‘Emperor’s Engine’ inside him, a symbol of his power,” another clone said.
"Anyway, they're just test subjects. Send envoys to invite them both over, whether it's that bald guy or the S-class King, invite them to the House of Evolution."
Seated in his seat, Genus was incredibly confident. Ever since using the gene serum to reverse his aging process, Genus had fallen into a state of near-obsessive self-confidence.
He firmly believes that genes are the only secret to the evolution of humans and all life.
"I want to see why those two are so powerful..."
It has been almost five days since the Mosquito Girl incident, and since the last time he shared hot pot with Saitama, Lin Mo could clearly feel that his relationship with Saitama had become a little closer.
After that, Lin Mo would often visit under the guise of a visit, and he even bought a bunch of game cartridges, which made Saitama scream in surprise.
"Saitama, mindless combos are useless."
Lin Mo shook his head, looking at the bunny girl on the screen who was already low on health, exuding a "powerful" aura.
"Let me show you... what a real combo is!"
After saying that, the bunny girl on the screen suddenly crouched down nimbly, dodging the opponent's pounce, and then sent Saitama away with a smooth little combo.
"Damn it! You definitely cheated!" Saitama was so angry that his face turned red. He threw the controller aside and his whole body turned "red-hot".
[The wrath of Saitama, energy +20!]
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Saitama, your moves are too monotonous. Even when you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you just randomly press buttons. I could beat you with my eyes closed."
Saitama was instantly filled with despair. He let out a cry and lay sprawled on the tatami mat, as if his soul had been ripped away.
Just then, the doorbell rang abruptly.
"Who is it? I haven't bought anything online recently," Saitama muttered weakly, slowly getting up from the ground and going to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a familiar blond face came into view.
"Hmm? You look familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before?" Saitama stared at Genos with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, Saitama-sensei, you saved me from Mosquito Girl before, and I’ve come to thank you.” Genos bowed deeply to Saitama. “Please do me the honor of taking me as your apprentice.”
------
Five days earlier, after Lin Mo and Saitama returned home, Dr. Kusno found Genos and repaired his body.
Then began a five-day surveillance operation.
Through his investigation, he naturally discovered that Lin Mo was KING, but the bald man was just an unknown nobody.
He understood KING's strength; it was recognized by the Hero Association and the public, supported by countless achievements.
But where does this bald man's immense power come from?
To dispel his doubts, he thoroughly investigated the two men's daily lives, including their food, clothing, and shelter.
He saw them rushing to the supermarket to buy discounted items, and he saw them idly reading comics and playing games at home.
He even bought a survey of the top-grade Wagyu beef that the two of them often ate at.
However, the analysis results showed that, apart from having higher protein, fat content and muscle fiber quality, this beef did not contain any special energy or gene-induced components.
The more he investigated, the greater the mystery became for Genos. Ultimately, he came to a conclusion:
Saitama must have reached his current level through some kind of unknown training!
This kind of cultivation method is exactly what he has been dreaming of!
"I must become stronger!" Genos stared at the bald man in front of him and made a silent vow.
Lin Mo, who was still playing video games inside the house, breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Genos would come to ask him to be his apprentice, but thankfully he didn't, since he himself had come to beg for a mentor.
Meanwhile, Genos had already begun telling Saitama about his experiences...
"Idiot, summarize it in 20 words or less!" Saitama was already furious from playing games with King, and hearing such a long string of words made his head feel like it was going to explode. He couldn't help but roar.
Just then, the ceiling exploded with a "bang," and a strange man jumped down.
"Hehehe, I am the Mantis Monster, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Saitama punched him into dust with a furious expression, yelling, "You'll have to pay for the ceiling!"
"Leave it to me, Saitama-sensei." Genos, with great foresight, rushed out, intending to deal with the monsters outside.
But when he rushed outside, he found that the frog man and the slug monster had been slammed into the ground by Saitama with brute force, leaving only their upper bodies outside, unable to move.
"Can't you use the main gate, you bunch of bastards!"
Lin Mo, who was sitting inside, was also startled and quickly came out as well.
Saitama had already been pulled into the ground by the earth dragon, with only his head sticking out, while Genos was already fighting with the armored gorilla.
The second strongest fighter of the House of Evolution, the Beast King in his lion form, flicked his golden mane and, seeing KING come out, ignored the bald man.
When it walked up to KING, it even bowed slightly in a very gentlemanly manner:
“Mr. King, we have been sent by the House of Evolution. Dr. Genus cordially invites you and your companions to visit the House of Evolution.”
Looking at the blond man who barely reached his waist, the Beast King couldn't help but feel contempt. So this is an S-class hero? If only he could take him down…
Once this idea took hold, it grew wildly like a wildfire.
The Beast King's pupils instantly contracted into vertical slits, and the lion-like golden mane on his neck moved without wind, unleashing a wild and savage aura.
"If I can defeat the S-class King, I, the Beast King, will be the most powerful monster in the world!"
Looking at the Beast King in front of him, who had already entered battle mode and was exuding murderous intent, Lin Mo was not flustered, because he saw that Saitama had already climbed out.
Sure enough, just before the Beast King was gathering his strength and preparing to unleash a thunderous attack, a figure appeared beside him as if by teleportation.
"Continuous... normal punches."
As countless fist shadows rained down, the Beast King was instantly reduced to only his lower body.
[The "Beast King's" astonishment: Energy +2000!]
Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief and walked towards the direction where Genos was fighting. "Let's go, Genos should be done by now. Let's go and ask him what happened."
Chapter 12 Asura One-horned Immortal
Meanwhile, the armored gorilla on the other side was unaware that the Beast King had gone to heaven. Even after being defeated by Genos and lying on the ground, it was still being stubborn.
"Don't be so smug... In the House of Evolution, my strength is only third place."
"With your level of attack, there's no way you can defeat the second-ranked Beast King! Just wait to be torn to shreds, you fools!"
Just then, Saitama walked over in his signature yellow and red battle suit, pointed to the lower half of the Beast King's body not far away, and asked, "Is this what you mean?"
Seeing this, the gorilla fell silent, then immediately put on a fawning expression.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I confess, I'll tell you everything! Please, please don't kill me! Just now... just now I felt the atmosphere was right, and it wouldn't be right not to put on an act..."
Lin Mo twitched his lips, damn it, he's quite honest.

Evolution House Headquarters.
"Impossible! The entire force meant to wipe out the old humans has been wiped out..." Genus, dressed in a suit, stared at the screen in disbelief.
"According to Armored Gorilla, KING and the other two are on their way here," a clone dressed in a white hospital gown reported, looking at the large screen.
"If they come, all the achievements we've made so far could be destroyed. Damn it, they've forced me to reveal my trump card..."
"Now that things have come to this, there is no other choice... Prepare to release the 'Asura Rhinoceros Beetle'!"
The name was like a bombshell, exploding throughout the control room.
All the clones turned pale instantly, their faces filled with deep fear.
"No, Doctor!" one of the clones cried out. "We absolutely cannot let it out! That thing is a complete monster!"
"That's right! Its mental state is extremely unstable. If it gets out of control, this place will be razed to the ground!"
"But besides it, what else do we have that can rival an existence of King's caliber?"
"Calm down, everyone!" Genus snapped, silencing the chattering clones. "This is just a last resort. First, set up countless traps on levels one through eight. As for the rest, we'll have to see how things go..."
Lin Mo and his group had arrived in the suburbs of Z City. The armored gorilla was so afraid of being punched to pieces that it spilled everything without any interrogation.
Lin Mo clutched his chest, panting heavily.
He had almost risked his life to keep up with Saitama and Genos's inhuman speed.
Thankfully, I had already raised the three base values to 50, otherwise I would have been stranded on the way.
"We've arrived. This is the coordinate of the House of Evolution provided by the Armored Gorilla," Saitama said, looking at the eight-story structure before him.
Genos was ruthless and didn't talk much. He raised his hands behind him, and the core of the Incineration Cannon in his palms suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. After charging up, he pushed his hands forward.
"Incinerator!"
In an instant, the raging flames engulfed the entire building, the air was distorted by the scorching heat, and a piercing wail was heard.
As the fire gradually died down, the building that had stood there had vanished without a trace, leaving only a huge crater and a scene of utter devastation.
"Hey... what's going on?" Saitama was stunned when he saw Genos blast the headquarters to smithereens with a single move.
He originally intended to fight his way up layer by layer, just like in the game KING gave him, until finally facing the BOSS.
He couldn't reach the final boss in the game (in fact, he got stuck in the first few levels), so it's impossible for him to do that in real life, right?
“I think this is the best way to wipe them all out.” Genos turned around, his expression as serious as ever, and answered honestly.
Just as Saitama was still feeling down about his "game experience" of soaking in the hot spring, Lin Mo's eyes were drawn to something unusual in the ruins.
He walked up to a metal door whose upper structure had been blown off in the explosion and said, "Hey, it's not over yet, there's still a way out."
After saying that, he grabbed the doorknob and, with all his might, pulled open the ridiculously heavy special alloy door.
Why is this broken iron gate so heavy? Lin Mo rubbed his aching arms. He then jumped down with Saitama and the others.
------
At this moment, a massacre is taking place underground, and the stench of blood permeates the entire underground space.
A terrifying creature, enormous in size and as tall as a two-story building, was venting its fury.
