A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

"hero".

Chapter 2 The Stranger Attacks (Part 1)

It is easy to confirm the current timeline of the One-Punch Man universe through media networks and other means.

Simply put, at this time, a certain bald trainee had not yet debuted, and the conflict between the two camps of heroes and monsters was already brewing.

It is foreseeable that strange incidents may occur more frequently in major cities in the future, and the intensity of the disasters will gradually escalate.

Johnson subconsciously pulled down the brim of his hat.

Ugh, this is really troublesome.

boom--

Amidst the loud noise, Johnson snapped out of his daze, his brows furrowing slightly.

Black smoke billowed from the street to the left, and faint screams and shouts of rioting could be heard.

"That's... Senmu Commercial Street!"

With a squeeze of the accelerator, the scooter roared out of character for its appearance and sped toward the location of the explosion.

five minutes later.

The scooter swerved and stopped on the side of the road. Johnson got out of the scooter, and all he could see were raging flames and thick smoke that blotted out the sky.

The office buildings on both sides of the street were painted with a thick layer of smoky makeup, and the burning vehicles and broken tree branches formed a death barrier, completely locking away people's hope of escape along with the high temperature and flames.

Apart from those trapped in the pedestrian street, all the nearby pedestrians had already fled.

Johnson nodded, saving the trouble of clearing the area.

He loosened his tie, tossed it, along with his police cap and coat, into the trunk, rolled up his sleeves, and cracked his neck.

He strode towards the fire.

Click!

Behind them, a reporter who had just arrived instinctively raised his hand to snap a picture, capturing the scene of people going against the flow on film.

The reporters didn't even see that, the moment after being engulfed by flames, a layer of azure flames ignited on the outside of Johnson's body. The almost tangible spiritual flames acted as a barrier, isolating him from the surrounding flames and thick smoke.

Influenced by the rules of the One-Punch Man world, the Stand users' mental power changed, evolving into psychic superpowers similar to the Tatsumaki sisters, capable of directly affecting reality.

With a month and a half of training in telekinesis, plus a daily draw of fate cards, Johnson's combat strength is now quite formidable.

……

"Help!"

"Who can help me!!"

"Ah! Ah...No!! Ah, I'm dying!"

"Strange man, please don't kill me! Ugh..."

……

Inside the pedestrian street.

Crackling...

Beside the shattered floor-to-ceiling window, a neon sign, broken in two, struggled to emit a spark before going completely out.

The air was filled with the distinctive metallic smell of blood.

Following the cries for help, Qiao Sen frowned slightly, his gaze gradually sharpening.

It was all corpses.

Various kinds of human corpses.

Humans have become prey, indiscriminately hunted and killed by unknown hunters.

An explosion suddenly occurred at a pet store on the street, sending steel bars and rubble flying and smashing through the floor-to-ceiling windows of a clothing store across the street, filling the air with smoke and dust.

Bang, bang, bang...

Heavy, slow footsteps sounded.

The bluish-black, five-toed claws of a reptile pierced through the smoke, and its feet, over fifty centimeters long, stomped on the cracked ground, producing a chilling, vibrating sound.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a towering monster over three meters tall revealed its true form, with thick, horny skin, two robust hind legs that allowed it to walk upright, and a tail as thick as a water bucket swinging behind it, carving a deep drag mark in the concrete road.

"I'm a 'Lizard Monster' who mutated because I looked too much like a lizard! Hiss hiss hiss—"

The lizard monster grinned triumphantly, its forked tongue dangling from its massive mouth, dripping thick, foul-smelling green saliva that corroded the ground, creating smoking pits.

"Foolish humans, you will pay the price for mocking me—ah!!!"

boom--

A pistol bullet, carrying far more kinetic energy than usual, precisely pierced the giant lizard's left eye socket, penetrating the keratinous eyelid strong enough to defend against ordinary firearms, turning the lens inside into a mushy mess.

Ow—

The one-eyed lizard monster roared in fury, "Who! Who!! Who dares to ambush me?!"

bang bang bang-

The lizard monster was met with a series of gunshots.

If a superhuman were present, they would see that each bullet was enveloped in a layer of azure energy flames, which greatly increased the power of the pistol bullets.

Puff puff puff——

The facial scales, whose defensive capabilities were comparable to armor plates, were as fragile as a sheet of A4 paper in front of the psychic bullets, which tore open more than a dozen bloody holes. However, due to its size, the lizard monster only cried out twice in pain. The muscles at the wounds on its face continued to wriggle and squeeze out the bullets, so the damage it suffered was negligible.

Even its shattered eye is actively withering and regenerating; it seems only a matter of time before it grows a completely new eye.

That's the vitality of an oddball.

"So strong, like a monster. Troublesome indeed."

Muttering to himself, Johnson put away his empty pistol and stepped out of the shadows, standing firmly to face the ferocious monster whose size rivaled that of a dinosaur.

The reptilian creature's vertical pupils instantly focused, locking onto the seemingly unguarded human figure. The lizard monster whirled around, its massive tail whipping out afterimages as it snapped a landscape lamp post in two, revealing a grotesque, human-like grin on its狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) head.

"They actually dared to show themselves!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bricks shattered and scattered everywhere. In just three steps, the cold-blooded reptile hunter traversed a distance of thirty meters, opening its blood-red maw to bite down.

The lizard monster even conjured up a vivid image in its mind: the damned human in front of it being bitten in two and crawling on the ground, struggling in agony.

Faced with the oncoming sharp teeth and stench, Johnson suddenly looked up, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Spider Time Start-up —

Smash Varudo!

The world seemed to freeze at that moment, with only the amber eye of the lizard monster reflecting a fist enveloped in blue flames, which gradually grew larger.

Europe--

Euler, Euler, Euler, Euler!

(??Pan?)=3????????????

Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!

Time flow returns to normal.

Before it could react, it was struck by countless iron fists. The lizard's head, which had been ferocious and terrifying just moments before, was completely deformed, with its swollen eyes and crooked mouth forming a large comical shape.

"call--"

After the "Ora" was finished, the massive lizard monster was knocked down by a powerful, all-encompassing punch. The police officer who threw the punch exhaled a breath of stale air and snapped his fingers at the same time.

Snapped!

Stand ability activated!

An ordinary N card materialized in an instant, emitting a bright light as it was launched into the air by Johnson.

The next second, a heavy shadow covered the sky and fell from the sky!

On the ground, the lizard monster's single, barely open eye suddenly contracted, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world!

A yellow-painted heavy road roller appeared out of nowhere above it, transforming into an attacking steel monster under the combined force of Mother Earth and the azure flames.

Finishing move -

Takizawa Laura!

Oh my god! No—

boom!

The heavy, solid roller at the front of the vehicle crashed down without any fancy maneuvering, instantly crushing the lizard monster's spine, chest cavity, and even most of its body!
