Chapter 164: How Did He Turn into Charcoal?
"Ora ora ora ora ora!!"
Two figures pinned the massive, distorted humanoid creature down and pummeled it, their fists moving so fast they left afterimages.
Garou remembered the pain of being tortured by Divine Power earlier, as well as the resentment and anger of being possessed; his fists grew more powerful with every swing.
King's eyes were also filled with rage. He couldn't help but recall the time he was suppressed, forced to watch helplessly as God sent his subordinates to invade Earth, while he himself was powerless.
At the thought of this, the fire of anger in his heart burned even brighter. King's fists also struck faster and faster, each punch causing God's body to cave in.
King's attacks were heavy and powerful, each strike enough to shave away God's Soul Origin, making him increasingly weak.
Although Garou's attacks were very weak, this Soul world was his home turf. Along with his continuous strikes and hostile desires, this world also began to constantly reject God.
Being pinned to the ground and beaten, God was also incredibly annoyed, but he could not stand up. Because the combined power of the two was too great, and in his current state of mere mental will, he was simply unable to resist.
Damn it... these damned human bugs... damn it!!
The humiliation in his heart made God want to roar, but before he could even make a sound, he took another set of combination punches to the face.
One possessed Soul power that was already stronger than his, while the other was the true master of this space. As a weak God who had invaded from a higher dimension, he had no right to resist at all.
Under the duo's group beating, God's figure became increasingly ethereal, a sign that his Soul power was weakening.
If I let the two of them keep hitting me like this... I'm afraid I'll be in trouble... Even as a higher-dimensional being, although God wouldn't die even if his Soul shattered in this lower-dimensional world, it would still severely deplete his vitality.
One must know that he wasn't the only being in the higher dimension. If he truly suffered irreparable damage, he would easily be devoured by other entities.
Thinking of this, God immediately began to beat a retreat.
Even though this meant thousands of years of planning would be ruined and he would completely lose the chance to invade Earth, he could only grit his teeth and give up.
After all, if he didn't give up now, his Soul would be beaten to bits, and then the life of his true body would be at risk.
Watching the two still mounted on him and beating him frantically, God had a thought. A violent surge of chaotic colored energy erupted from his body, causing King and Garou to temporarily stop their assault.
Seizing this opportunity, God finally gained time to speak. His cold and grand voice echoed continuously throughout the Soul space:
"So what if you have the upper hand? I am God, a being from a higher dimension than yours. No matter how arrogant you are in this low-level world, you will ultimately never be able to reach my level!"
As he spoke, God's gaze fell upon King, his tone carrying a hint of provocation, as if certain that King would definitely fail this time:
"I have to admit, as a human from a lower-dimensional world, you are truly impressive. Even if you are a stowaway, it doesn't change the fact of your strength.
But so what! Whether it's you or that bald head who transcends the rules, you are ultimately inferior beings! I will be watching you forever from the higher-dimensional world! Hahahaha!"
Hearing these words from God, King immediately realized that this guy wanted to flee.
But scanning the means he currently possessed, he discovered with some helplessness that he really didn't seem to have any way to keep God here.
Wait, there's still this move!
While God was still spouting threats, King silently split off strand after strand of his own Soul, integrating them all into God's Soul body.
This way, as long as there was still a connection between their Souls, he could hunt God down in the higher-dimensional world.
As for how to get there? He'd have to ask the magical bald guy.
As long as Saitama wanted to go, there was nothing he couldn't do. It was all about the "I Reckon" power.
"Is that so?" King spoke, the speed of his fists swinging faster and faster:
"No matter where you hide, Saitama and I will find you and beat you until you're on your knees. Remember those words."
God sneered, his Soul body having become extremely ethereal, turning into a sky full of light spots that slowly dissipated:
"Then I shall look forward to your arrival. I only hope you can cross the dimensions, you ridiculous lot."
The next second, God completely dissipated. The remaining Divine Power flooded into the Void and vanished, all returning to the higher-dimensional world.
Having dealt with God, King did not remain in Garou's mental world any longer, but returned to reality.
He had to hurry. Before the Divine Power on Garou completely dissipated, he needed to move the guy out of the star as quickly as possible.
Without Divine Power, Garou would surely return to his previous weakling state. If the current Garou were exposed to a 500,000°C environment, he would likely be vaporized instantly.
Sure enough, after losing the Divine Power, Garou's physical strength began to regress continuously, and he became dying in an instant.
The reason he didn't die on the spot was thanks to the Divine Power of God that had not yet fully dissipated.
Under such violent temperatures, besides beings of King's level who could survive, any other weak creature entering would only result in being instantly vaporized.
King grabbed the half-dead Garou, and a massive amount of Energy flooded in, wrapping around his entire body.
A scarlet stream of light shot out in a straight line, moving away from the heat of the distorted space.
He looked down at the charcoal-like lump inside the Energy shield, which no longer resembled a human, and couldn't help but complain:
"How did he turn into a piece of charcoal?"
