Chapter 635: Two God-level! Who will win?
"Hmm? What is this..."
Seeing the humanoid monster suddenly appear not far away, Fang Mo was momentarily stunned.
Although it was his first time encountering the creature, given the current situation, it was clear that this being should be the final BOSS he had never met before—the monsterized Garou.
However, even though this was the monster Garou, the Garou in front of him did not look like the reset version of Garou.
Yes, Fang Mo remembered this quite clearly. In Murata's redraw, the monster Garou's design was significantly different from the original. In the redraw, he appeared to be encased in a shiny black shell, while in the original, he had truly become a monster, even growing two devil horns.
"So, what is this all about?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Mo instinctively frowned.
Based on various indications, Fang Mo had almost confirmed that this was likely the redraw version by Murata, especially since Saitama's character setting had been changed.
But if it was the redraw version, how do you explain this horned Garou?
"What is happening to me...?"
While Fang Mo was pondering this, Garou across from him instinctively looked down at his fist and saw it wrapped in pitch-black bandages.
Though described as black bandages, Garou realized it was actually formed from a mass of blood scabs, flesh, and clothing fragments stuck together, looking dark and somewhat creepy. However, beneath these bandages, he could feel a powerful force he had never experienced before.
"This feeling..."
Seeing the changes in his body, Garou seemed a bit surprised. However, he quickly raised his head and surveyed the battlefield around him.
He showed no reaction to the massive crater but soon noticed Fang Mo not far away, locking his gaze onto him.
"The S-class hero from the Association, Priest."
Garou's voice was somewhat hoarse as he unleashed his killing intent towards Fang Mo: "Tell me, what do I look like now?"
"What... what is this killing intent..."
Before Fang Mo could respond, the nearby Tanktop Master couldn't help but take a step back. Even though he had been strengthened, he couldn't withstand Garou's killing intent, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe and causing cold sweat to soak his tank top.
"What is this guy...?"
The Homeless Emperor, who had fallen to the ground, also felt the terrifying killing intent. He was even more affected, his face turning pale, lips trembling, and lacking the courage to lift a finger.
Garou's earlier words echoed in the Homeless Emperor's mind, making him feel as if Garou was terror itself.
"Answer me."
Garou ignored the others and slowly walked forward.
He soon reached the top of a pile of rubble, looking down at Fang Mo from a height, even striking a pose: "What do I look like?"
"You?"
Hearing Garou repeat the question, Fang Mo instinctively scrutinized him.
One had to admit, Garou's current form was decent. While his overall shape was closer to the original, this was reality, and ONE's abstract art style couldn't exist here.
Garou's body was now wrapped in pitch-black bandages, through which one could see his rock-hard muscles. His build was tall and imposing, though not as massive as the Hulk's, but still exuded a commanding presence.
After becoming a monster, Garou's head no longer showed any human features.
His face barely had discernible features, with no visible eyes, mouth, or nose, only shrouded in dense shadows, looking like a human sculpture hidden in darkness. Only two crown-like giant horns curved upward from his head, symbolizing his demonic identity.
"I see you..."
Staring at Garou for a moment, Fang Mo soon commented: "Like a 148cm tsundere nine-tailed fox beast-girl."
"..."
The whole battlefield fell into a stunned silence at these words.
Tanktop Master, Black Sperm, the Homeless Emperor, and even the little black cat transformed by Shoggoth all stared at Fang Mo in bewilderment, unable to understand why he said that.
And it wasn't just them.
Even Garou himself fell silent after hearing these words.
"Is that so?"
After a long pause, Garou spoke again: "I asked out of curiosity, but it seems you haven't realized the seriousness of the situation."
"No, no, I think it's you who hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation."
Fang Mo shook his head upon hearing this.
"Say whatever you want, but if you can only show off now, then so be it."
Garou stared at Fang Mo, the killing intent on his body growing increasingly intense. "I came here to hunt you down, heroes... This childish hero game you're playing has gone on long enough. Now, it's time for me, Garou, to put an end to it all."
"Look at yourself, you're just a loser too."
Fang Mo responded to Garou's accusation with a smile and a shrug. "You're just a fool playing monster games. Am I wrong?"
"You bastard!"
Garou was instantly furious. "Do you believe I can kill—"
"If you're so tough, kill that kid first."
Before Garou could finish his sentence, Fang Mo pointed at the bewildered Snot Boy. "You claim to be a necessary evil but can't even kill a human? Who would fear you? Even I've smashed glass marbles when pushed. I don't expect you to smash marbles, but can you kill a kid?"
"..."
Garou fell silent.
After a long while, he suddenly tossed Snot Boy aside like garbage. "Hmph, human children... killing them is worthless. Such trash isn't worthy of dying by my hand."
"Shall I kill him for you?"
As Fang Mo spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Snot Boy. "This isn't a game. If you don't stop me, I will kill him."
At this point, a white light appeared at Fang Mo's fingertips.
In the next second, with a 'biu' sound, a beam of light shot toward the pale-faced Snot Boy.
"You seek death!"
Seeing that Fang Mo dared to attack Snot Boy, Garou's limits were truly tested. In an instant, Garou unleashed his full power.
He sidestepped and positioned himself in front of Snot Boy, striking a strange martial arts pose with his hands. Then one hand turned into a claw, reaching forward. At this moment, he integrated all his martial arts techniques and launched his God-Slaying Fist.
Even the energy beam was shattered into fragments by Garou's single hand.
But that wasn't all. In Garou's view, Fang Mo was already on the path to death. He stomped the ground with one foot and charged at Fang Mo with full force. His three fingers curved, gathering terrifying power, aiming to obliterate this bastard.
However, what Garou did not expect was.
As he charged, Fang Mo merely smiled and said softly, "Ancient One, open a door for him."
With orange sparks flying around, a circular portal appeared in Garou's path.
"!?"
Garou's pupils shrank as he sensed something was amiss. He stomped the ground, halting his body.
Just then.
In mid-air, the Ancient One lightly flicked her two fingers...
In Garou's shocked gaze, the portal, initially suspended in the air, rushed towards him and swallowed him. The surrounding space rapidly changed, transforming into a terrifying wasteland in the next second.
"What is this..."
Garou was baffled by the scene and started to observe his surroundings instinctively.
As he observed.
He noticed something fighting in the distance.
Focusing his eyes, Garou saw a cyan humanoid creature attacking something, punching continuously, causing the ground to tremble faintly.
Noticing Garou's gaze.
The creature seemed to sense something, stopped its attack, and turned to look in Garou's direction.
At this point, Garou noticed the full appearance of the creature, a humanoid monster with cyan skin and strange patterns, and most notably, a single huge eye on its face.
The eye shone with a fervent and manic battle spirit.
"You are..."
Garou frowned in confusion.
Before he could finish, Fang Mo's annoying voice came from behind, "Boros, I brought you someone!"
