Chapter 32: It's Supermarket Sale Day!!
Looking at the trembling Carnage Kabuto, Saitama couldn't help but complain:
"This is the strongest monster of the House of Evolution? Isn't it just a giant rhinoceros beetle? And it's pretty ugly too."
Saying that, he prepared to rush forward and explode the ugly thing with one punch.
However, just then, King reached out and stopped the eager Saitama.
"Leave this guy to me. Don't you have something more important to do?"
Saitama tilted his head, face full of question marks. "More important? Do I have something important to do today?"
Hearing this, King silently held up one finger.
"Do you remember what day of the week it is?"
"Today is..."
Saitama's voice cut off abruptly. His eyes slowly widened as if recalling something of utmost importance.
Today is Saturday...
Which means!
Bloodshot veins slowly crept into the whites of his eyes. Saitama vanished from the spot, turning into a blur. He punched straight through the specially reinforced super-alloy wall, his heart-wrenching scream drifting back through the air:
"TODAY IS SUPERMARKET SALE DAY!!!"
Carnage Kabuto was dumbfounded. He stared at the wall that had been punched open like a blooming flower, his heart nearly stopping.
Are you kidding me?
The main door's durability was several grades lower than the walls, yet he had pounded on it for a full minute just to warp it slightly.
And you're telling me this bald human punched through the wall with a single hit?!
Accompanied by continuous booming sounds, metal debris flew everywhere. All ten layers of reinforced walls were blasted through in an instant, leaving a massive, gaping tunnel to the outside world.
Watching this, King couldn't help but sigh. Saitama's obsession with discount goods was truly beyond human comprehension.
Even though he was now an S-Class hero with a generous salary, he couldn't shake the habits formed over years of poverty.
Only buy on sale.
Seeing that the unfathomable bald man had really left, leaving only the blond man with the deep, ocean-like aura, Carnage Kabuto's panic subsided slightly. However, he remained extremely cautious.
The reason King stopped Saitama from one-shotting this guy was mainly because he wanted to experience Carnage Kabuto's strength firsthand, and also to test out the so-called "Carnage Mode."
With that in mind, King took a step forward. His golden hair fluttered in the wind blowing from the hole behind him. His majestic, domineering face stimulated Carnage Kabuto's nerves.
King crooked his finger at Carnage Kabuto, his tone filled with disdain for the weak creature before him.
"Choose: Fight me, or die right now."
The provocative words landed in Carnage Kabuto's ears like a depth charge.
His mental state was already fragile and unstable. He had been under high pressure from fear and despair since the intruders arrived. Now, being provoked like this...
In an instant, all his accumulated emotions turned into unparalleled rage—giving him the courage to strike even at a god.
"ROAAAARRRRRR!!!"
Carnage Kabuto let out a beastly roar. His wings buzzed, and he shot forward at breakneck speed. His massive fist descended from the sky, smashing viciously toward King.
King put his hands back in his pockets. He didn't even have the desire to block with his hands. He simply released his surging Qi and blood, forming a crimson barrier around himself.
Immediately after, his immense spiritual power surged, wrapping his body in psychokinesis. Beneath the blood barrier, a layer of faint green psychic shielding also formed.
Carnage Kabuto's fist tore through the air, creating a sharp sonic boom, and slammed heavily into the blood barrier.
BOOM!
Invisible airwaves rippled outward from the center of impact. The specially made super-alloy floor beneath their feet caved in.
However, as the attacker, Carnage Kabuto stumbled back several steps, clutching his throbbing fist. The reason that had been drowned by anger returned momentarily.
King's blood barrier didn't even crack, let alone shatter. And beneath that was another layer of psychic shielding he hadn't even touched.
"Is this the power you're so proud of? How pathetic."
Provoked again, Carnage Kabuto trembled with rage. Anger once again washed away his remaining sanity.
"Don't look down on me! You trash of the Old Era! I am the New Human who will rule the world!!"
In the last second before his reason vanished completely, Carnage Kabuto decisively unleashed his full power.
His body began to expand rapidly. From three or four meters, he ballooned to seven or eight meters tall. His poop-yellow carapace fell away, replaced by blue-green skin.
His eyes, which previously had whites and pupils, turned completely scarlet.
Carnage Kabuto: [Carnage Mode]!
"I didn't want to use this mode. In this state, I will have limitless stamina for seven days and seven nights, and I will be consumed by the urge to kill! You forced me into this form, so use your life to pay for it!!"
Carnage Kabuto turned into a blue-green streak of light, shuttling back and forth across the spacious training ground. Moving at near-teleportation speeds, he appeared behind King.
He let out a furious roar. His hands became a blur of afterimages. Fists like a torrential storm, carrying berserk power, bombarded the blood barrier.
"KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL!!!"
The super-alloy floor beneath them groaned and twisted under the strain. Ripples of shockwaves and thunderous impacts echoed endlessly in the training ground.
The more Carnage Kabuto fought, the more excited he became. In this state, even though his fists were fracturing from the relentless impact, he couldn't feel it.
"DIE!!"
Finally, under the sustained assault, a crack appeared on King's blood barrier. The crack expanded rapidly, almost covering the entire surface of the shield.
Seeing this, the smile on Carnage Kabuto's face became even more savage and twisted. His punching speed increased even further.
Standing in the center of the storm, King yawned. With a thought, he repaired the blood barrier instantly.
"Since I've experienced the power of this mode, it's time to test its defense."
Saying this, King voluntarily deactivated both the blood barrier and the psychic shield, exposing his physical body.
