A mob of clones

Chapter 509: We still don’t know where Saitama’s power comes from, even though he can’t finish eating udon noodles

“So what exactly is the God of the One Punch World? Is it the emotional forces that roam above the world, or is it some more abstract collection of great beings—Gods?”

One Punch Man world, suburbs of City X.

Yiquan Wuhe sat here cross-legged, pinching his chin, thinking about some very important issues.

However, when he mentioned God, he couldn't help but think of the guy he had come into contact with when he was feeling all kinds of emotional power, and who also appeared in the original work - God.

That great will, whose real existence is unknown, influences the world by focusing its attention and acknowledging the existence of a certain phenomenon.

The gods described in the original work also use their gaze to cast down power, turning people or objects into monsters.

There are certain similarities between the two.

However, the process of becoming stronger in most worlds is, to a large extent, to comprehend the truth of the world and bring oneself closer and closer to the core of the world.

Therefore, the performance of the strong in a world basically represents the underlying logic of that world to a large extent.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they have certain similar properties.

But to say that the two are the same entity, Yiquan Mist Core disagrees.

"This guy, who is like the greenskin and allows all kinds of strange phenomena to exist, should be different from the gods in the original story~"

"If that guy is really that powerful, how could he be blocked from the Earth by the blasters?"

With messy thoughts churning in his mind, he shook his head with Yiquan Mist Core, throwing those messy thoughts out of his mind, then patted his butt and stood up.

"Forget it, forget about it for now. Some things can always be figured out. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

"As for now..."

The image of Kinos's panic appeared involuntarily in Yiquan Mist Core's mind, and he shook his head slightly.

"We need to temporarily divert his attention, otherwise his faith will be shattered. It would be a waste of talent for a good scientist to sell octopus balls..."

"How about getting some of Saitama's body tissue that Genos has been thinking about?"

"If I use beef hot pot to trick Saitama into coming for a physical examination, it should be able to divert his attention a little."

……

Listening to One Punch Mist Core's narration of what he had experienced, Yugi Wuhe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"What you said is a bit too mysterious."

"But..."

Yugi Wuhe touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then made a suggestion:
"It's too difficult for us to make a true judgment based on what you said with our current strength. It's better to wait until the other Wu Hes gather together before giving them some advice."

"Especially regarding the great will that may exist just like the Heart Element, this ability to modify the underlying logic of the world has a bit of our distorted worldview in it."

"It's a bit like the rule-based abilities we had in our previous lives. If we can understand the principle behind its existence, or even control this power, it will surely be a great improvement for the entire Wu He group."

In response to this, Yiquan Wuhe nodded slightly. This kind of thing was indeed beyond his control.

Seeing the thoughtful look on One Punch Mist Core's face, Yugi Wuhe spoke again:
"Don't be so anxious to think about it. Keep talking. You haven't finished yet."

"You are talking about the origin of the transformed monsters, what about the origin of those born monsters?"

"Kinos is still advancing research in this area, and I am also actively cooperating in investigating various information."

With Yugi Gowa's reminder, One Punch Mist Core came back to his senses, but he still shook his head slightly about the matter of being a natural born freak.

"Now I have figured out the bases where the Underground King, the Deep Sea King, the Sky King, the Ancient King, and the Underworld King originally were, and I have found traces of their lives."

"We even found some traces of interactions between several kings."

"But what makes me feel a little strange is that, based on the memories of several kings, I found the environment where the Underground King once lived."

"He did live underground in City Z in the past. There was even a very complete inheritance system inside. The throne has been passed down for who knows how many generations."

"They are so close to the Monster Association in City Z, but there is no sign of any interaction between the two."

"It seems that neither of them can detect the existence of the other."

"The same goes for the Sky King~, and the Deep Sea King..."

"The locations of those nests are very obvious. After checking their memories, I found their addresses without spending much effort."

"Most of these places can even connect to mobile phone signals, but no one has come to discover these natural freaks that have existed for so long."

"This is really too weird~."

"I strongly suspect that these guys were transported from another world along with their territory by some existence using power~."

"After all, logically speaking, the blaster in the original novel can do these things, so logically speaking, the gods should be able to do it as well."

"However, I have not yet found any traces of the gods, so this guess can only be left undecided."

Having said that, Yiquan Mist Core paused slightly, thought about it, and decided to finish everything in one breath.

“That’s about all the things I’ve been through.”

“But something else actually happened after that.”

"That means inviting Saitama to eat beef hotpot."

"I promised to treat him during the Poros incident. Seven days after the incident, I invited him to dinner."

"As for this time, I mainly want to steal some of this guy's body tissue and give it to Kinos for research, so that he can divert his attention a little."

"But I didn't expect a tornado to come during that time."

"In fact, as early as the third day after the Boros incident, Tornado came to me and confirmed that what I said was not a lie."

"Since then, we haven't had any special contact."

"It's just that this Tornado didn't come specifically to find me, but came with Fubuki."

"And Fubuki is following Saitama..."

"This couple finally met..."

In response to Yugi Goku's sigh, One Punch Mist Core nodded and said:

"That's normal, after all, Saitama is being promoted. After reaching B rank, he will naturally attract the attention of the Fubuki Group."

"After seeing Saitama's strength, Fubuki will naturally want to use various methods to lure him into joining the Fubuki Group, just like in the original novel."

"As long as these fundamental conditions do not change, other changes are just minor details."

"Although Tornado heard me say that Saitama is very strong before, he didn't really care about it. After all, it has little to do with him."

"It wasn't until I saw Saitama and Fubuki together that I remembered what I said before. I wanted to test each other's strength."

"It was just that Fubuki blocked the way and he didn't succeed until he came to my side."

"So the original idea of ​​exchanging food for organization points fell through. Tornado proposed to compete with me during the dinner, and during the conversation, he expanded his goal to include everyone present."

"The purpose is self-evident. They say they are targeting me, but in fact they are targeting Saitama."

"After all, in Tornado's eyes, my sister is more important."

"Saitama himself had no objection to this proposal. Fubuki thought it was too much of an S-class beating a B-class and voted against it, while Genos voted in favor."

"Then, because Genos' wishes were more important than Fubuki's to Saitama, and with my help, Tornado proposed that the loser should treat the winner to beef hotpot, he agreed to the tournament."

“Although there were five people at the scene, there were only three protagonists.”

"That's me, Saitama, and Tornado..."

"I also had an idea for pulling Tornado up with me. After all, I can create a territory as a battlefield. As long as I am pulled up, I don't have to worry about the influence of the terrain and can explode at will. The calculations are so good."

Hearing this, Yugi Wuhe raised his eyebrows.

"so?"

"So of course I agreed—"

Yiquan Mist Core spread his hands and said with a smile:

"After I awakened my realm that time, I discovered something."

"What happens in the sea will be imprinted in the sea's memory."

"That is to say, any existence that has appeared in my domain will become a part of my power."

"The limit is the maximum power I can exert, which is also the maximum power exerted by the people I fight in my domain."

"For example, when Boros and I fought in my domain, my domain now has memories related to him."

"As long as I can defeat him in the field, I can possess his power and ability."

"It's just a pity that a large part of it was burned by me in the collision that day."

"So if I start the taming ritual, I will directly face the Collapse Star Roaring Cannon at full power." "And even if I defeat him, since the memory in the domain only contains the Collapse Star Roaring Cannon, I can only gain the ability to release this move."

"So simply defeating Boros in my memory doesn't really mean much to me."

"But this fight is different~"

“Look at me, for example. I can do this now…”

As he spoke, Ichikū Mist Core slowly raised his fist under the gaze of Yugi Goku and made a gesture as if he was about to punch.

Seeing this, Youxi Wuhe did not delay and just waved his hand lightly, unleashing all his current cultivation.

In the secret realm of magical powers, the immortality cultivation of the fifth-level celestial being erupted, and the energy of the five elements turned into a huge sliding cover above his head, pressing down to protect his body.

At the same time, magic runes burst out from his fingertips and merged into the earth. In an instant, a huge magic tower rose from the ground, and the strength of a high-level magician was revealed at this moment.

At the same time, elves flew out from his spiritual world one after another, forming circles of halos covering the periphery of the magic tower, and finally forming a magic array of more than a hundred layers, forming an almost indestructible wall blocking the way.

The god-level magic in the world of No Game No Life, defensive magic - the fourth protection of the ancient times.

In addition, there are also illusion defenses of the Dhampirs and passage prohibitions of the Ex-Machinas.

All kinds of buffs are piled up as if they are free.

Ten seconds later, when everything was ready, a huge mountain completely covered by light appeared on the ground.

In front of this giant mountain, Yiquan Mist Core's figure seemed so small, as small as an ant.

At this moment, Yiquan Mist Core stretched out his hand and slowly punched in front of him.

This punch did not have any amazing speed or terrifying quality.

It seemed like just an ordinary, plain punch.

It looked like a moth flying into a huge fire, as if it would be burned to ashes by the dazzling magic and flames in the next moment.

But when it actually fell, Yugi Wuhe realized that he was wrong, and extremely wrong.

The small fist hitting the huge magic barrier was like a steel needle piercing through a huge soap bubble.

Almost instantly, all the defenses he had set up for a long time were shattered by this punch.

The ancient fourth protection that symbolized the wisdom of the entire elf race, the magic tower that represented the most powerful defense on his magic path, and the five elements shield that contained his immortality skills were all dissipated in an instant like phantoms of the past.

And all that was left in front of Yugi Satoru was a clean fist that was getting bigger and bigger.

In the blink of an eye, it occupied his entire field of vision. At this moment, in Yugi Wuhe's perception, the punch of mist core was not a fist but a planet, a world.

At this moment, a whole world was crushing towards him.

"touch~"

A huge muffled sound broke through the sky, and Yugi Goku's body instantly turned into blood mist and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The next moment, Yugi Goku's figure reappeared at the same place. He opened his eyes again, but there was still some palpitations in his eyes.

At this moment, he looked up at the fist of fog core in front of him, and wanted to say "Fuck it", but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

But thinking that this thing seemed to be scolding him, he swallowed it back and spit out another sentence:
"Saitama's fist?"

In response, Yugi Satoru nodded.

"That's right!"

"This is Saitama's fist, but it's the same fist Saitama used when he fought Genos."

"It's just that during the coaching match with Genos, Saitama stopped at the last minute."

Hearing this, Yugi Wuhe naturally knew what the One Punch Mist Core meant and rolled his eyes.

Anyway, no one will die in the foggy space, so just take the hit. It’s not like I haven’t experienced similar things during training before.

Compared to those who died at least this time there was no pain at all.

What really made Yugi realize and confused was another thing.

He looked up and down at the One Punch Mist Core and started to complain:

"Can you beat Saitama?"

It’s not that Yugi Wuhe looked down on One Punch Mist Core. If the Bald Demon King wanted to win, it was estimated that there wouldn’t be much that the most powerful Wu Hes in the Mist Space could do.

In response to this, One Punch Mist Core shook his head and said:

"You forget that I can be divided into grades in this regard."

“What I challenge is ultimately the memory, not the individual.”

"It's like a shrimp in the eyes of a small shrimp and a shrimp in the eyes of a big shark. The shrimp is still the same shrimp, but the memory and impression are different. Naturally, the power it possesses when summoned cannot be exactly the same."

"The memory in the field is different from the memory in the ocean. In the ocean, there are countless observation individuals who can verify each other, so we can get almost perfect data just by zooming in and out of the individual data."

"But in the field, the only observers are me and the field."

“The patterns of behavior we observe are all that our memory can capture about an individual’s behavior.”

"So I asked Saitama to be a standing turret, doing all kinds of punching and kicking movements without moving, and as long as he moves, his walking speed will not exceed that of an ordinary person."

"Then I created a memory model of a turret with extremely strong attack power but extremely slow movement speed."

"I didn't defeat Saitama. I only defeated this model whose movement speed was no faster than the walking speed of an ordinary person and whose attack power was extremely strong."

"That's outrageous, okay..."

In the face of Yugi Goku's complaints, Ippen Mist Core shrugged slightly.

"Don't expect it to be so good. The destructive power will also come with corresponding costs."

"Like the punches you just saw, even if I used all my strength, I could only throw five punches."

"And that wasn't even Saitama's serious punch..."

"If it's a serious punch, I'm afraid I'll be drained before I even throw it..."

"And with punches like these, Saitama can fight me all day long."

"Even after a whole day of fighting, all Saitama needs is a bowl of udon noodles, and it can't be a big bowl, otherwise he won't be able to finish it."

"How should I put it? Life is something amazing, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Yiquan Mist Core revealed a slightly sad expression, and it was obvious that this was also his current research direction.

When I-Punch Mist Core mentioned life, Game Goku couldn't help but think of his own research and nodded slightly, but just when he was about to say something.

"boom--"

A loud explosion suddenly sounded, and the originally quiet gray fog was instantly stirred at this moment, and a terrifying energy swept wildly around.

And one of them was coming towards the two of them.

Before they even had time to react, the force instantly overwhelmed them.

By the time they realized what had happened, they had no idea how many times they had died from the power just now.

During the journey, the two tried to resist, but even though they used all their tricks, they were bound to perish again in the next second.

It was not until an unknown amount of time later that the terrifying power that permeated the sky and the earth stopped and the two of them regained their ability to move.

Seeing this, One Punch Mist Core and Yugi Satoru looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds.

"What the hell are those guys doing?"

There were no more attacks after that, but the two of them no longer had any interest in telling stories.

After they reached a consensus, without any hesitation, in an instant, their figures turned into a ray of light and flew towards the location where the power had just exploded.

……

Time moves forward a little bit, the field of vision turns, and comes to the other side. As One Punch Mist Core and Yugi Satoru tell each other about their experiences in their own worlds...

It was the same gray environment, and there were also many tombstones around.

Two young men, wearing normal casual clothes and looking somewhat similar, with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, looked at each other, staring at each other, not knowing what to say for a long time.

The two of them didn't know how long they continued staring at each other like this.

It was not until a long time later that the two of them reacted almost at the same time. They stepped forward and shook each other's hands, and introduced themselves:
"Hello~, nice to meet you. My name is Wu He, and I'm from Tianhe City, China, Earth."

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Wu He, and I'm from Hongning Base City, China, Earth."

……
