A mob of clones

Chapter 501: Mist Core: Miss Tornado, you can imagine whatever you want. If I have to explain, I lose.
"Ah~, this cool breeze~, this relaxing feeling, if there are no ghosts or gods, it seems nice to just lie down like this..."

Lying on the belly of a giant seal, Yiquan Mist Core was lying in the sky in the shape of a "木" with his eyes squinting. He had a long plastic straw in his mouth and was sipping the naturally frozen drink beside him while his eyes were narrowed into long slits.

The leisurely and comfortable look on his face made the surrounding world of ice and snow seem a little warm.

In this pleasant mood, Yiquan Wuhe felt as if his whole body had melted away, and the style of painting gradually became more Q-version...

However, just when Yiquan Mist Core was immersed in this beauty, a small black shadow suddenly appeared in the air.

The black shadow just happened to overlap with the sun in the sky, just like a sunspot, making it difficult to see its true appearance.

However, Yiquan Mist Core did not pay too much attention to it. He did not sense any real dangerous aura. Even if there was something in the sky, the threat to him was obviously not that big.

He didn't even stop drinking his drink. He just stretched out his hand to slightly block the sunlight in front of his eyes, then narrowed his already narrowed eyes even more. He didn't even use his magic power. He just wanted to use his naked eyes to see clearly what the black shadow overlapping with the sun was.
then……

"Pfft~"

A small figure suddenly fell from the sky like a missile, cutting through the air, and a pair of black thick-soled shoes hit the belly of the fog core very accurately.

The stomach was suddenly under pressure, and a stream of gas gushed out from Yiquan Wuhe's stomach, pushing the drink that he had not yet swallowed into his mouth directly out, and the whole person turned into an artificial fountain.

But things seemed to be going a little wrong afterwards.

Sudden attack, the punched mist core did not fall naturally like other superpowers, but instead seemed to sink into a trampoline. The clothes he was wearing had an obvious wrinkle as if being pressed down, and then bounced back violently.

The rebound that went against common sense caused the falling and rising height to directly allow the punch mist core to catch up with the Nutri-Express that it had sprayed out, directly knocking the long strip of liquid apart.

Large puddles of liquid instantly scattered like iron flowers.

Yiquan Mist Core himself was covered in the face by the drink he sprayed out.

Of course, the figure that suddenly fell from the sky was not much better.

This sudden rebound was obviously beyond her expectations. Not only did she stumble and fall, but the water scattered around her also splashed all over her.

The milky white Nutri-Express was splashed everywhere on the hair, face, and clothes.

Fortunately, this thing is not thick yogurt, otherwise the picture would become a little weird.

Such a shocking blow woke Yiquan Wuhe directly from his half-asleep state. He opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the figure in front of him with his hands open and an angry face because his face, clothes and hair were sticky with the white drink. He recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

This is of course Tornado, the second S-ranked member of the Hero Association.

Faced with Tornado's sudden attack on him, One Punch Mist Core didn't care too much.

Although he was hit directly just now, the drink was spat out all over his face.

But that was just a conditioned reflex when he was in a relaxed state and set his body's reaction to be the same as that of a normal person.

If the opponent had been a little stronger just now, his body's defense mechanism would have been triggered.

In other words, although Tornado was falling very fast just now, as if to prevent him from reacting in time, he controlled his strength when he actually landed. The effect was similar to when he was lying on the sofa and someone suddenly jumped on him.

Lethal, no, insulting...

Look at the tornado on the other side who was sprayed all over and looked mad. I punched the mist core and I didn’t know whether the insult was more serious, myself or the other side…

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but the next moment, he stopped his chaotic thoughts with a punch of the mist core. He used his strength to directly shake off the drink stuck on his body. Then he lay down, looking at Tornado sitting on his stomach, and said calmly:

"Ms. Tornado, my stomach is so comfortable that I won't let you sit on it~"

There is no doubt that the words "One Punch Mist Core" were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It instantly turned into sparks and ignited Tornado, a barrel of explosives that was already loaded to the limit and was about to explode.

In an instant, Tornado jumped off One Punch Mist Core's body. Green light exploded from her body, and the white liquid that was still clinging to her body was instantly dispersed by this force...

Then he looked at Yiquan Mist Core who had stood up, pointed his finger at his face, "You you you you you~", you're not done...

Tornado is really about to explode...

Today is another day of wasted time.

As the second-ranked S-class monster, there are not many in this world who are strong enough for him to take action, and there is an idiot named Simon by her side.

Every time I saw her appearance, I thought she was weak and never threw any tasks to her.

Just like a while ago, a strange weirdo appeared in City Z, defeated two A-level heroes, and caused considerable damage.

I will inform a group of A-level heroes of the news later, but I won’t ask her to help me, saying that she can’t solve this kind of thing…

No strong tasks are assigned to her, and no weak tasks are assigned to her either. It can be said that Tornado has been idle for a long time and has become a little bored.

As a result, when a few missions finally came his way recently, every one or two that he could do competed with her for the kills.

It’s okay to steal the head, but you should at least let her know who stole it.

What was the result? The guys from the Hero Association simply said they didn't know, and then attributed the credit to the A-level heroes or even the B-level heroes present.

Tornado didn't yell at those guys directly, which showed that she was very well-mannered.

And today she finally caught this human-headed dog in the act, so of course she couldn't let him go...

However, after Tornado kept saying “you you you” for a long time, she suddenly realized sadly that she seemed to be not in the right about this matter.

After all, killing monsters is not like the performance in other companies, and there is no such thing as distribution. If it weren't for personal emotions, Tornado wouldn't even have a reason to be angry.

In the previous attack, she had some mischievous thoughts in mind, wanting to teach this guy who repeatedly stole her heads a lesson...

It would be fine if the lesson was successful. Even if the other party questioned me, I could just say that I didn't see anyone and didn't calculate the landing position carefully.

But now, I failed to win the game, the opponent looked calm, and I was the one who was directly defeated.

I, who had played a prank, ended up being the one being questioned.

When Tornado thought of this, his defense became even more broken...

But she is not the kind of person who wants to play a trick on others, then suffer the consequences and then blame others. She would not do such a thing.

Therefore, when her face turned green and red, she temporarily swallowed her anger, but her face was still red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Are you Mist Core? The S-class hero Xinghai Kairi?"

"Yes~, what advice do you have for me, Master Tornado?"

Looking at the calm smiling face of One Punch Mist Core, Tornado really wanted to reach out and tear that face apart.

But she still took two deep breaths before speaking:

"Aren't you a hero stationed in City W? How did you run so far all of a sudden, to this side of the Pole?"

"You don't have any conspiracy, do you?"

Tornado has not yet forgotten her first impression of One Punch Mist Core.

Tornado is still very confident about her intuition.

Through this intuition, she has caught many weird people who hid among ordinary people and wanted to do evil.

Although I don't know why the aura of this guy in front of me has disappeared, he is definitely not a good person...

Tornado believed that she simply had not yet found evidence that the guy in front of her had done something evil.

After some thought, Tornado slowly calmed down. The faint redness on her face caused by anger quickly faded, and she returned to her usual state.

She felt the soft texture of the soles of her feet, which was like a trampoline. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her figure floated up slightly. She stood at a relatively high altitude, squinting at the fist of mist in front of her and said, "Suspicious, you are too suspicious..."

Seeing this, Yiquan Mist Core shrugged and said:
"Can't I just destroy the monsters?"

"Look at the snow-capped mountains around us, and the footprints. Although I have sent that weirdo away, the traces of the battle should still be very clear."

Hearing this, Tornado looked around.

What Yiquan Mist Core said was right. Even if he didn't look at the surrounding environment, the Hero Association had previously reported to him that in the past ten minutes, the energy reaction in this area clearly showed that two individuals were fighting each other.

The only question is, the One Punch Mist Core is located near the red belt. How can it travel across half the globe to the pole to destroy the monsters without the Hero Association providing any information or causing any harm?
You have to know that Tornado came to do this mission because polar scientific researchers had discovered traces of polar monsters a long time ago.

And certain detection equipment was set up around.

And these detection instruments have come to the interior of the Hero Association, so it stands to reason that other people should be aware of it.

Recently, detection instruments have detected that the ancient king is gradually awakening, so she was asked to make this trip.

As a result, just when she was making this trip, Yiquan Mist Core came over and took the kill?

It would be weird if this were normal.

One Punch Mist Core didn't know what Tornado was thinking, but if he knew, he would probably applaud her for her sharp intuition.

The original work of One Punch Man does describe the ancient king's giant dinosaur, but it was only described a little bit in the opening scene of the anime...

There's not even any specific city specified, just a seemingly cold surrounding environment.

The area to be searched is basically equivalent to half of the earth.

It is naturally impossible for Yiquan Mist Core to do such a stupid thing as looking for a needle in a haystack.

But in the original work, wasn’t it a problem that the Hero Association sent Tornado to solve?
Since there are dispatch missions and plane flights, communication over the Internet is essential.

The network of the Hero Association has basically been riddled with problems by Genos, so anyone can enter or leave as they please.

However, it is naturally impossible for the Hero Association to know such a keyword as ancient king.

So One Punch Mist Core basically just waits, identifies a few cold mountain ranges on Earth that might be the hiding places of the Ancient King, and then waits for the Hero Association to send Tornado Money to these places.

Then the mist core can lock onto a rough target with one punch.

Then, using his speed which is much faster than that of a civilian airliner, he could go there ahead of time, kill the monster, notify the Hero Association that the mission is completed, and then send Tornado back.

Speaking of which, Tornado's kick at One Punch Mist Core was indeed correct. The previous times when he tried to steal someone's head, One Punch Mist Core was indeed unintentional, but this time he did it on purpose, and it was deliberate...

But just like One Punch Mist Core didn't know why Tornado was so angry, Tornado naturally couldn't be completely sure that One Punch Mist Core was here to steal the kill from her.

Therefore, One Punch Mist Core and Tornado could only stand there and stare at each other...

But this round was lost by Tornado because her eyes were a little sore...

"Running from the equator to the pole, crossing half the globe to fight monsters?"

"Why does the Hero Association have a rule that this is not allowed? I can fly very fast, and I accidentally flew here after a short while. I just happened to see a bad guy and I took care of him."

"So, Master Tornado, this is not allowed?"

Looking at Yiquan Mist Core and him spreading his hands calmly, Tornado felt his anger rising again.

"This guy really deserves a beating!!!"

However, while she was angry, the speed mentioned by Yiquan Wuhe once again caught her attention.

She couldn't help but recall the appearance of that strange man called Vaccine Man more than a month ago.

First, she went on a mission. She flew from City A to other cities to complete the mission. However, when she was halfway there, the mission objective was achieved.

Then she was notified that a dragon-level monster had appeared in City A. She hurried back, but that monster was also dealt with.

"Having the ability to quickly move between cities..."

Combined with the information about the One Punch Mist Core that Tornado investigated after the House of Evolution incident.

It seems that this guy's community had suffered a long-range attack from the Vaccine Man just before he was dealt with.

After the Vaccine Man incident, he seemed to have killed a demon-level monster in an instant on the way to W City.

Putting all of this together, Tornado couldn't help but come up with a story in his mind.

Yiquan Wuhe returned to his home after spending the New Year in other cities. He just got home and found that his home had been attacked by the vaccine man.

After getting rid of the Vaccine Man, he returned to his apartment and led the other survivors out, and then got rid of another ghost-level monster.

Considering that the time interval between these events is basically no more than a few minutes.

"He defeated three monsters in a row without showing any signs of fatigue, and he used his super powers to fly at such a fast speed."

"I'm afraid this guy's superpower level is extraordinary."

However, just as Tornado was thinking about this, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to her mind.

"Wait, this guy seems to have super powers too!"

Tornado suddenly raised his head and looked at the fist of mist core in front of him. His eyes, which originally contained a little anger, now held a hint of strangeness.

It seems to be a little angry, disdainful, eager to try, and happy...

That inexplicable look made Yiquan Wuhe feel uncomfortable.

"I don't know what you want to do, but it's absolutely impossible for you to surpass me with these."

Punch Mist Core: "???"

Looking at the arrogant Tornado in front of him, Misty Core's forehead was filled with question marks after a punch.

"What on earth did you imagine?"

Of course, although he really wanted to ask this, Yiquan Mist Core opened his mouth but eventually closed it.

Just imagine it. Even if Tornado imagines something strange, it is much better than the other party knowing that he is here to steal kills and fighting with him.

But just when the atmosphere between the two of them was about to reach an inexplicable stalemate.

"Ding-ling-ling~" x2
Both of their cell phones rang.

Seeing this, the two immediately decided to stop fighting for the time being. Almost at the same time, they took out their mobile phones, put them to their ears, and pressed the answer button.

Before they could ask what was going on, a hurried voice came into their ears from the other end of the phone.

"Trembling Master Tornado!"

"Master Xinghai and Lu!"

"Something terrible is happening!!!" x2
