A mob of clones

Chapter 502 S-class heroes: This boy is so terrifying!
In the world of One Punch Man, City A, the Hero Association Headquarters...

"Master Tornado, you are finally back. The meeting room is over there."

"And Lord Harmony of the Star Sea..."

He waved his hand and refused the guidance of the staff in front of him. Yiquan Mist Core looked at Tornado, who was holding his head high and looking angry not far in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

As soon as they received the call from the Hero Association, they rushed directly back to City A from the Polar Region across half the globe.

The whole process took about twenty minutes in total.

It was not known whether Tornado was flying to compete with him or for some other reason, but her speed was extremely fast.

And it is accelerating all the time.

During the whole process, I used the One Punch Mist Core to catch several sailfish.

From the 20-meter-class swordfish that just barely reached the speed of sound at the beginning, to the largest batch of shikigami he had caught recently, the 2,000-meter-class swordfish in the end.

The extreme speed is a hundred times the speed of sound, but it can only barely follow behind Tornado.

If it hadn't been for the fact that it accelerated to a hundred times and basically reached the Hero Association directly and stopped, I'm afraid the One Punch Mist Core wouldn't be able to keep up.

He really didn't understand why Tornado, who had been accelerating ahead of him the entire time, would appear so angry after arriving at the Hero Association.

Even if Tornado deliberately wanted to compete in speed, it should be obvious that she won the match, right?
While thinking, Yiquan Mist Core felt a pair of eyes staring at him, like a needle pricking his scalp and making it numb.

He turned his head to look in the direction where the gaze came from, and then he saw Tornado's slightly hateful look.

In response, I punched the mist core: "???"

As a result, One Punch Mist Core, the brain that could think of the origin of monsters, still couldn't understand Tornado's thoughts and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Women are such complicated creatures..."

……

The view returns to Tornado...

Different perspectives, different imaginations. Different views on things make Tornado's thoughts on this matter almost completely opposite to One Punch Mist Core's.

Looking back at the performance of One Punch Mist Core as it followed her to the Hero Association, Tornado couldn't help but grit her teeth.

The meaning in the look in his eyes when he stared at Yiquan Mist Core was very clear - "Don't think you win just like that!"

"You are the challenger—"

In Tornado's mind, One Punch Mist Core is an overconfident guy who thinks he is quite powerful and wants to challenge her status as a superpower.

As for the false reputation of "the one with the strongest super powers", Tornado naturally doesn't care much. If possible, he hopes that Fubuki can surpass him in strength, so that he doesn't have to worry about the other party's safety.

But this doesn't mean that she doesn't have a competitive spirit.

That was why she wanted to compare her superpower level with One Punch Mist Core in this way on her way to the Hero Association.

Although the speed of the punch mist core was quite stable at the beginning, it was not fast and just barely broke the sound barrier.

Tornado was relaxed about this.

Then Tornado just accelerated slightly, wanting to see the expression of this guy when he was left behind.

Then a punch of fog core followed, at three times the speed of sound.

But this is a piece of cake for Tornado, and then...

Then five times the speed of sound, ten times the speed of sound…

As fast as the tornado flies, the mist core of a punch can fly as fast.

In the end, even at fifty times, the punch mist core was still following.

And unlike the uniform acceleration of Tornado, each time One Punch Mist Core accelerates there is no sign. It jumps from one speed to another in an instant, without any acceleration process at all.

What does this mean? It means that this guy can burst out with stronger and faster speed at any time!

But this guy just doesn't use it! He just plays with it!

This is clearly a disdain for the strength of Tornado, the second-ranked S-level warrior!

"Hmph, young man, you should learn your lesson..."

"Don't let me get the chance next time, or I'll end up in trouble..."

Finally, he glared at the Mist Core and then walked towards the passage at the back.

Then, Tornado saw a shining bald head.

……

The view returns to the One Punch Mist Core...

He shook his head slightly and ignored the mess for the time being. Before entering the passage, he turned around and took a look at City A outside the Hero Association headquarters.

After finding the Ancient King through the Hero Association's network, One Punch Mist Core was mentally prepared for the Cosmic Dark Matter Thieves to come to Earth to cause destruction.

After all, according to the anime, this is almost the order.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

However, he was not worried about this. After all, the Bald Demon King was directly involved in this matter, and the biggest boss Boros could be solved directly by just asking Saitama to go there.

If we exclude the sudden mass bombing of City A by the Cosmic Dark Matter Thieves Group at the beginning, the overall incident this time actually involved just a cadre from the thieves group fighting with S-class heroes on the ground.

As for the rest, Saitama basically handled them all by himself.

From the beginning to the end, the Bald Demon King was directly involved in the frontal battle. It can be said that it was a pure favorable situation. There was no need to consider winning or losing at all...

but……

"I remember that after the Cosmic Dark Matter Thieves arrived, they blew up the entire city A."

"And he directly killed the Sky King who wanted to attack the Hero Association..."

Thinking of these two questions, Yiquan Mist Core couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Although his current strength seems to be able to compete with Tornado to a certain extent.

Logically speaking, if Tornado can return all the shells fired by the Universe Dark Matter Thieves, then One Punch Mist Core should be able to do the same.

but it is not the truth.

"Is Sky King okay? Just leave a shikigami outside and kidnap him when that guy shows up."

"But Boros is a bit troublesome."

"City A is the largest city on the entire planet. It's probably as big as half of the Asian continent in One Punch Mist Core's previous life."

"If we strike such a large area, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop any large marine creatures."

"This kind of large-scale attack is not something I am good at dealing with..."

"If I want to save the entire city A, if I come alone, I am afraid I have no other choice except to attack the spacecraft first and destroy all the shells..."

"As expected, telekinesis is more useful for solving this kind of problem~, but this thing is not my strong point~, I have to let Tornado do it."

"Should we tell this kind of thing in advance?"

"It's just that Tornado seems to be annoyed with me for some inexplicable reason."

"If I say this directly, the possibility of her believing it is probably not high."

"Maybe I'll have to imagine some other weird things. The key is that this thing is hard to explain. After all, explanation is concealment, and concealment is the truth..."

However, just as Yiquan Mist Core was thinking, struggling, and considering the pros and cons of various options, a voice in the passage next to him made him stop thinking involuntarily and look sideways slightly...

"Who brought these B-rank trash in?"

"It's a bit too rude for us."

"Would a normal person come here? It's too brainless."

"You came here just to build relationships with the S-class heroes~"

"I'm not happy~"

"roll--"

This voice was naturally very familiar to Yiquan Wuhe. It was the voice of Tornado that had just separated from him.

And then he remembered a male voice that seemed strange, yet familiar to him...

"Little kid? Are you lost?"

Although the iron door in front of him was closed, only a few sounds could be heard coming from inside.

However, the sound in his ears and the memory in his mind overlapped with each other, causing One Punch Mist Core to involuntarily imagine the scenes in the anime and couldn't help but smile slightly.

“Although I have changed a lot, this group of people has generally not changed much.”

This interaction between Tornado and Saitama had nothing to do with the problem that One Punch Mist was struggling with. But this interruption also interrupted the choice he was still worrying about.

"Forget it, why think so much?"

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate~"

"Just like before, just don't let yourself regret it..."

He stretched out his hand, and rays of light burst out from the fingertips of the Fist Mist Core.

Dense swarms of marine life instantly flooded the world before his eyes.

At this moment, Yiquan Mist Core's body was surrounded by countless marine creatures. The huge whale acted as his mount under his feet, sharks with sharp teeth guarded him on both sides, sailfish and swordfish were his vanguards, and all kinds of fish served as his soldiers.

Starfish, sponges, jellyfish, turtles, barnacles, crabs, shrimps...

There were endless kinds of marine creatures extending from in front of One Punch Mist Core to the outside of the Hero Association building and all the way to the sky.

It was like a river flowing down from under the stars, with no end in sight.

At this moment, Yiquan Mist Core reached out and caressed the surrounding marine life, just like a father caressing his child, so peaceful and calm.

At this moment, in the passage, Tornado, who was feeling a little angry because Saitama ignored her, had a slightly frozen expression on her face.

She looked around with some confusion, then looked behind her where she had walked past, and looked at the steel gate that closed automatically. Her telekinesis directly penetrated the thick iron wall and she saw the scene outside.

Then, she saw a fist of fog core outside the door.

Although telekinesis could not see the cursed spirit of One Punch Mist Core, Tornado couldn't help but be dazzled by the peaceful and even sacred aura of One Punch Mist Core.

She rubbed her eyes with her hands, then walked back and reopened the iron gate. She saw with her own eyes how One Punch Mist Core was performing now, and saw with her own eyes that the other party's aura was completely different from before. She even began to doubt herself, and lowered her head to question her life.

"Is this guy really a good person? Did I misunderstand him?"

But the next moment, when Tornado raised her head, she found that a punch of mist core had walked in front of her at some point and was looking at her with a smile.

Seeing this, Tornado involuntarily took a step back and subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest.

"What do you want to do? Getting so close all of a sudden!?"

"Thank you, but I do want to, but not now. I have something else to do."

Tatsumaki: "???"

Looking at One Punch Mist Core stretching out his hand to express his refusal, then stepping over him and walking directly to the end of the passage, Tornado was stunned for a long time, completely unable to react to what this guy One Punch Mist Core was saying.

After a while, she stomped her feet hard...

"It turns out that my thought that this guy was a good person just now was an illusion!"

"This is a complete asshole!"

As for Tornado's thoughts behind him, Yiquan Mist Core didn't care. He just looked up at the sky, looking through the layers of barriers at the various marine life shikigami that spread throughout the city, and muttered to himself in his heart:

"There are about 30 million people in City A. 90 million fish should be enough~"

"I just hope that there will be enough time for the fish to find everyone in City A..."

……

City A, Hero Association Headquarters, Meeting Room...

After Yiquan Mist Core took his seat, this rather mysterious new S-level hero naturally attracted a lot of attention.

One Punch Mist Core is not very keen on showing up in public. Usually after solving a problem, he just leaves with the monster's corpse.

From the time he became a hero until now, he has actually dealt with quite a few monsters, but this is the first time he has dealt with other S-class heroes.

Therefore, it naturally attracted a lot of curious eyes as soon as it fell.

The 18th Sexy S-Class Prisoner: "Another nice boy, and so is Genos-kun. We should take this opportunity to build good relationships with them."

The eighth S-rank zombie man: "Is he the Xinghai Xielu who destroyed the House of Evolution? I heard that he obtained a lot of technology from the House of Evolution after that, but I don't know what it is exactly?"

The fourth S-class Atomic Samurai: "Another strong man? I don't know how strong he is~, but according to the rumors, he should be quite strong."

The third S-ranked Silver Fang: "Another outstanding young man..."

The trembling Tornado, the second in S-rank: "Hmph~"

Of course, although there were many eyes on me, no one was familiar with me, so not many people approached me directly.

However, Saitama, who was sitting in Genos's seat, was stunned for a long time after seeing One Punch Mist Core, and was the first to greet One Punch Mist Core.

"You must be the hero Xinghai Kairi~"

Hearing Saitama suddenly talking to him, One Punch Mist Core was also stunned, but he also nodded, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Saitama in front of him and responded:
"Yes~, you are?"

As he spoke, Yiquan Mist Core carefully looked at Saitama in front of him, his eyes constantly scanning his entire body, especially his bald head.

He did not forget his promise to Kinos.

Bring some of Saitama's body tissue back to him for research.

The most easily shed part of a normal human body is naturally dandruff, so Saitama's head is naturally the focus of One Punch Mist Core's attention.

Just looking at the constant reflection, the bald head flashing his eyes, and the scalp that was as smooth as a mirror, without even a pore, the smile on Yiquan Wuhe's face seemed a bit forced.

However, Saitama on the opposite side did not notice One Punch Mist Core's gaze. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, then smiled and said:

"I'm Saitama~, Genos's teacher. Thank you for saving Genos before. I heard that you are very strong~"

Yiquan Mist Core shook his head and said modestly:

"Saving people is what a hero should do~, as for being strong or not..."

"I think my ability is just average~"

However, just as he finished speaking, a cold snort interrupted their conversation, and then a female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation.

"Hmph~, hypocritical guy..."

There was only one girl at the scene, and her status was not low. Although the voice was not loud, it directly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Seeing that Tornado actually reacted so strongly to One Punch Mist Core's words, several S-class heroes around who were not very interested in One Punch Mist Core couldn't help but cast their eyes over.

The S-class heroes around her naturally knew very well what Tornado's temper was like.

The other party would actually complain about others being hypocritical when someone said that their ability was average?
Doesn't that mean that the strength this person possesses is not just ordinary, but very strong?

And in Tornado's eyes, he is very strong.

Immediately, the dozen or so S-class heroes around him unanimously labeled One Punch Mist Core as "a strong man who can be recognized by Tornado."

In this regard, One Punch Mist Core did not seem embarrassed, but the conversation between him and Saitama became difficult to continue after that. He could only smile embarrassedly, then turned his gaze back and looked at Tornado with some displeasure.

The meaning conveyed in the eyes is also very obvious.

"Almost got it."

However, upon seeing this, Tornado not restrained himself but instead raised his head, but he did shut up.

It was just that a rare smile appeared on her face, which had been expressionless all the way.

"Hmph~, weren't you very calm just now? This won't work for you~"

"I thought you wouldn't be able to break through the defense!"

Seeing Tornado's look, One Punch Mist Core was somewhat speechless. He didn't know what to say, so he could only ignore her for the time being and observe whether there were any other flaws in Saitama that would allow him to obtain some of his body tissue for research.

At this point, the interaction between One Punch Mist Core and Tornado ended.

Tornado was in a good mood, sitting on the chair and swinging her legs.

One Punch Mist Core continued to look at Saitama intentionally or unintentionally.

However, in a place that neither of them paid attention to, the veteran S-class heroes almost dropped their jaws in shock.

Especially, the lollipop in Child Emperor's mouth fell to the ground, and his big watery eyes were filled with a bit of admiration when he looked at One Punch Mist Core.

"This new guy actually dared to give Tornado a cold shoulder~, and Tornado was not angry~, he even seemed very happy, so amazing! How did he do it?!"

Even the self-righteous Atomic Samurai had to take the newcomer One Punch Mist seriously and labeled him as "not to be messed with" in his heart.

"He was so aggressive against Tornado, but he wasn't thrown out directly. This man has something..."

A bunch of S-class heroes: "This guy is so at loggerheads with Tornado, but he hasn't even been admitted to the emergency room yet. This is really terrifying..."

More and more strange looks gathered on One Punch Mist Core and Tornado.

Gradually, even the two people who had other things on their minds couldn't help but pay attention to what was wrong with the people around them.

Looking at the puzzled looks of these guys, the same thought popped up in my mind - "Are these people sick? Is there money on my face? Why are they staring at me?" x2
