A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

In an instant, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's entire carapace was drenched in sweat, and it couldn't help but ask the question from that famous punch scene.

"Um, well..."

Johnson glanced at Dr. Genus, who was also eagerly listening outside the door, and decided not to repeat the old cliché that everyone could recite from memory, but instead prepared to tell the truth.

"My current strength is all thanks to my own hard work, bit by bit!"

Dr. Genus: ?

Is it possible to achieve this simply through hard work?

"What a joke! How could human efforts possibly create such a terrifying power that makes me feel like I'll be killed if I get any closer?"

"What a joke!!!"

As the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle screamed hysterically, its body began to swell under the control of extreme rage.

The outer carapace on its back, along with the insect wings that were protected inside, broke off and fell away. The remaining carapace became as tough and soft as skin, and trembled and writhed along with all the muscles in its body, as if a demon was about to burst out of its body!

The veins on the single horn on its head bulged and stretched continuously, and the forked tips merged together, resembling a sharpened rhinoceros horn, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.

A thicker horn has evolved on the back of the neck, along the spine, with a slight curve between them, as if anything that collides with it will be completely pierced through!

In addition, the rampant evolution continues.

The brown beetle's body turned a deep purple as its muscles expanded, and the explosive muscle lines were tinged with a striking bluish-green.

Adopting the classic paint scheme of Unit-01, the Ashura Rhino Beetle's size has increased dramatically from its normal 3.5 meters to nearly 10 meters after its liberation!

His last shred of rationality was replaced by the urge to kill. His pupils and the whites of his eyes turned crimson, and his large mouth with protruding fangs spewed out a scalding heat wave. Compared to when he first appeared, his power and oppressive aura were instantly maximized!

Asura Rhinoceros Beetle—

"Asura Mode"!

"Oh!"

After watching the entire transformation process up close, Johnson couldn't help but whistle.

No wonder Dragon Ball's popularity has endured for so long; there are hardly any colors left for Super Saiyan Gold.

Thai pants are hot!

Transformation is indeed a standard feature of shonen manga!

"This is really annoying..."

"So, kill him first and then talk!"

"Asura Mode!!"

Upon reaching its final form, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle suddenly gained power dozens of times greater than before. Its terrifying physical abilities, combined with its monstrous size, meant that destroying a human city would be a matter of minutes.

Clearly, in this mode, the Asura Rhino Beetle's combat power skyrockets, making it comparable to the Dragon-level executives of the Monster Association in the later stages.

However, due to its lack of rationality, it remains to be seen how much of its combat power it can actually unleash.

"He won't be able to regain his senses for at least a week, and he won't be able to suppress his fighting instincts!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle savored the power flowing through its beautiful muscles, muttering to itself.

"So after I kill you, I'll go to the city and exterminate all of humanity until next Saturday!!"

"If you're really a great hero, then come and stop me!"

The alarm sounded, and the white alloy walls were stained crimson by the flashing alarm lights.

Amidst the soaring killing intent that coalesced into flames, Qiao Sen couldn't help but narrow his dead fish eyes.

"You're still setting it for next Saturday? I really don't know how you'll die, do you?"

The passionate exchange of threats was interrupted. The ferocious expression on the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's face froze for half a second, and then, driven by instinct, it roared and charged forward!

"Extinction Strikes!"

The bluish-purple figure blurred into a blur, appearing before Johnson in a few leaps. The beetle-like monster, its ferocious aura burning, roared and unleashed a storm of punches!

As the fist fell, Johnson's figure moved at high speed, also turning into a blurry afterimage.

"Wood big wood big wood big..."

As his fists, comparable to giant power hammers, kept missing their mark, Johnson couldn't help but let out a mocking "Dio-like Dio-esque" laugh.

"That kind of relentless attack is simply not up to par!"

"Aaaaaah—die!!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle let out a long, irrational howl, doubling its attack speed once again. Its fists became phantoms, creating rapidly cavitating air in front of it, and each punch produced a violent sonic boom!

As if tired of dodging, Johnson simplified his response, merging countless afterimages into one. He stood still, using one hand to block or slap, easily stopping the entire onslaught of the giant fist.

"How, how is it possible!"

Dr. Genos stared blankly as the clones behind him revealed a truth that filled him with despair.

"The gap is too big!!"

"Aaaaaah! Why isn't he dead yet!?"

The shouts around him grew increasingly noisy, and Johnson frowned.

Why are you yelling so loudly?

Even my grandfather never dared to yell at me like that!

His eyes shone with a ruby-like hue, and two dazzling golden beams swept upwards from below.

"Gamma rays!"

"……what?"

Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's attack momentum was interrupted, and it felt something slicing through its body.

It watched in astonishment as its left arm, which it had swung out, was severed clean at the root. Then, green fluid seeped from the carbonized midline of its forehead.

"how so?"

As he spoke, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's body slid down, revealing a smooth cross-section that ran from the top of its head to its crotch.

Chapter 157 Dr. Genus's Choice

The immense pressure within his body suddenly dissipated, and a large amount of green, viscous insect fluid gushed out onto the ground.

The once invincible beetle tyrant, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, was completely split in two and promptly met its demise.

[Fate card draw count +1.]

The diligent F-zai arrived on time to get to work, and shoved the astonished soul of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle into the card.

From the Stand user's perspective, which only Yanzu can see, a golden light shines behind Johnson, like the rising midday sun.

The alarm sound and the high-frequency flashing red lights in the battle space stopped when the vital signs of the rampaging Asura Rhinoceros Beetle were detected to have disappeared.

Apart from the two extra corpses on the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, now let's talk about cooperation."

“I’ve finished speaking,” Johnson said, standing amidst the trembling clones, his gaze sweeping from right to left. “Who agrees? Who disagrees?”

"Cough cough..."

Dr. Genus stepped forward reluctantly, raising his hand weakly, and said, "I agree..."

The clones stayed behind to clean up the battlefield. Johnson knew they wanted to take the opportunity to recover the cells and tissues of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, but he didn't bother with them.

This thing is quite powerful. This time, it used a colorless skill to instantly kill the evil doctor in order to intimidate him.

I'll have him clone an enhanced Plus version later, and I'll definitely come back to try it out.

One minute later.

Dr. Genus reached out and pressed his fingerprint on the access control, and the heavy alloy mechanical door opened to both sides. He immediately bowed and made an inviting gesture.

"Please come in, sir. This is my office."

Johnson nodded and stepped inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large bookcase that occupies an entire wall, filled with theoretical books from various modern disciplines, many of which are labeled with Dr. Genus's name and are his own works.

The desk was placed in front of the bookshelf, and a blackboard covered with calculation formulas hung on one side of the wall, giving off an air of a researcher.

More books were piled up in different corners of the office, making it look somewhat cluttered.

This office is like an antique showroom from the last century, decorated mainly with vintage wooden furniture.

Apart from the office computer on the desktop that can project holograms, there is almost no trace of modern technology.

Dr. Genos noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered; how come he hadn't noticed his office was in such a mess before?

"Uh, I'm used to being alone, so I haven't tidied up much, sorry..."

"fine."

Johnson walked straight to Dr. Genos's desk and sat down in his chair.

"sit down."
