Chapter 133: Could it be Blast?!
Flashy Flash opened his mouth to speak, but a massive foot shimmering with a diamond luster slammed down onto his chest.
"Pffft-ugh!"
Blood sprayed from his lips. Intense pain flared through his chest, and the sheer weight of the force pinned him so hard he couldn't even twitch.
Damn it... that stomp broke at least four or five ribs...
Diamond Sperm leaned down, looking at the blood-stained, battered Flashy Flash. His grin stretched nearly from ear to ear, his laughter wild and unrestrained.
"This is an S-Class hero? You're no different from a stray dog on the side of the road. But I'm a nice guy—seeing you in so much pain, I'll give you a quick end!"
Flashy Flash sensed the shadow of death descending. He struggled desperately, but the gap between his strength and Diamond Sperm's was a literal abyss. He was being crushed by raw stats.
Just as Diamond Sperm raised his fist to detonate Flashy Flash's head, a sharp whistling sound cut through the air.
BANG!
A thunderous gunshot echoed across the battlefield. A custom-made armor-piercing round tore through the atmosphere and slammed directly into the side of Diamond Sperm's head.
However, as the casing fell to the ground, the bullet didn't penetrate.
A faint wisp of white smoke rose from where Diamond Sperm's head was struck, but the skin was perfectly unscathed. He scratched his head in confusion.
"Did something just touch me? It felt a bit itchy. Got any more of those pebbles? I'd like to feel a few more."
Saying this, he twisted his head around, his gaze locking onto a pale figure in a gray-black trench coat in the distance.
Zombieman was covered in blood, his previously exploded head fully restored, but his eyes were filled with unstoppable shock.
It's not just the speed that's despair-inducing... even his defense is this broken. Armor-piercing rounds can't even scratch him.
But he had no choice. Zombieman couldn't stand by and watch Diamond Sperm kill Flashy Flash. Flash wasn't just a comrade; he was one of their most vital combatants.
With that thought, Zombieman's eyes narrowed, his scarlet pupils locking onto Diamond Sperm as he rapidly squeezed the triggers.
The dual pistols roared like cannons. A torrential rain of bullets poured out, saturating the area around Diamond Sperm.
Against this onslaught, Diamond Sperm could have easily dodged, but he chose not to. Instead, he spread his arms wide in a gesture of embracing nature.
The barrage of armor-piercing rounds struck his body, producing only the crisp, metallic sounds of steel hitting diamond. Not a single mark was left on that perfect crystalline frame.
"A soothing massage every now and then feels quite nice. As a reward, let me treat you to a punch!"
Diamond Sperm cracked his neck, a relaxed expression on his face. Then, he took a step. In a flicker of movement, he was standing directly in front of Zombieman.
What?!
Even though he knew the monster was fast and had prepared accordingly, Zombieman never expected a speed that felt like literal teleportation.
BOOM!
Diamond Sperm threw a punch. The resulting sonic boom and violent shockwave vaporized Zombieman's entire upper torso into a red mist. His internal organs didn't even have time to fall; they were vibrated into dust by the impact.
Zombieman's lower half remained standing firmly on the pavement. Diamond Sperm looked at the perfectly clean, horizontal cross-section of the remaining waist and nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems that after gaining this Divine Power, my control has improved significantly. I can even create a perfect 50/50 split."
Having turned his opponent into a grizzly "half-man" cosplay, Diamond Sperm didn't leave. He waited unhurriedly.
As a powerful and cautious entity, back when he was in his Black Sperm state, he had thoroughly researched the data on most S-Class heroes.
Therefore, he knew that the supposedly "immortal" Zombieman wouldn't die just because his upper body was gone.
After waiting a few seconds, accompanied by a slight tremor in the lower body, the blood mist around the area began to coalesce. The exposed flesh writhed and expanded.
His body began to recover at an extreme rate. New granulation tissue wove together to form muscle and skin, and white bone grew rapidly, reforming upward toward the head.
As two blood-stained eyeballs reconnected to the nervous system, Zombieman's head was mostly restored.
The moment his vision returned, the first thing he saw was a massive, shimmering crystalline fist.
Crap!
Zombieman screamed internally.
Sure enough, his head was exploded by a single punch again. Red and white matter splattered everywhere, and his two bloody eyeballs rolled across the ground in surprise.
Diamond Sperm crouched down beside Zombieman as if he had found a fascinating new toy.
"Interesting. I really want to see if your regeneration is truly infinite. Come on, keep growing back for me!"
He decided then and there to "spawn camp" this interesting Zombieman, exploding him every time he revived.
He wanted to see how many times this guy could recover—or if he really possessed a true undying body.
Just then, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly rose from the depths of his soul. Diamond Sperm's brow furrowed, his excitement cooling into a grim, somber expression.
Who dares to interrupt my fun? Someone's courting death!
But a powerhouse's intuition for danger was usually unerring. Even someone of Diamond Sperm's caliber took it seriously.
He pushed his perception to the maximum, scanning the surroundings.
Diamond Sperm's mind raced, filtering through any possible enemies.
To be able to make an Ultimate Lifeform like himself feel a strong sense of impending crisis... the opponent's strength had to be unfathomable.
Is it the Strongest Man on Earth, King?
No, that's not right. Diamond Sperm had personally sensed King's aura before. That domineering, regal pressure was nowhere to be found.
That meant only one mysterious powerhouse remained on the side of humanity.
Could it be the S-Class Rank 1 hero whose data has never been made public... the ghost himself... Blast?!
