Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

"Kusuke, Doctor—"

Inside the cave, the voice of a large ape rang out.

"Arturo-san, what's the matter?"

Kousuke sat up from the recliner.

"Our People's Liberation Army is planning to wage war against the United States."

Arturo grinned as he jumped off the slowly approaching cat tank, making no attempt to hide his desire for Kousuke.

"war?"

Kousuke frowned, then yawned.

"so what?"

"Dr. Kōsuke, I need more military support."

Arturo said to Sosuke.

"Just those cat tanks should be enough for you to take over several states in the US, right?"

Kousuke lay back down.

"No, no, no, although the cat tanks are indeed very strong, there are still too few of them."

"I need more, stronger soldiers."

"Only in this way can we truly take over the entire United States."

Arturo explained his purpose to Sosuke.

"More and stronger monkeys? I'd rather not make that kind of thing."

Kūzū waved his hand, "If you asked him to do some scientific research, he might be interested."

But to have him mass-produce those useless ape warriors for Arturo... is this going to cause a "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" scenario?

Kousuke gave a disdainful sneer.

Arturo looked somewhat embarrassed as he looked at Dr. Sosuke, who had decisively rejected him, and a surge of anger rose within him.

"Dr. Sosuke, this is for our great cause, for liberating all ordinary people oppressed by superhumans!"

General Arturo is trying to give our great Air Assistance Doctor value.

"Isn't it normal for ordinary apes to be bullied by super apes?"

Kousuke looked at Arturo with the same eyes he would give a silly monkey.

"I don't want to get involved in what monkeys do."

"Helping you is merely a matter of fulfilling the original contractual obligations."

Kousuke waved his hand dismissively and said to Arturo with a look of disdain.

.......

Arturo's expression turned somewhat grim.

"Dr. Kōsuke, you should know that you are now on my turf."

I don't like the tone of your voice.

Arturo's body approached Dr. Sosuke, and just before his hand was about to touch Sosuke, Ape One, dressed in a black suit, grabbed his hand.

"Arturo ape-san, apes don't like human tone of voice, and humans don't like ape tone of voice either."

Kenji, standing behind Arturo, watched this scene with a sense of bewilderment.

"General, Doctor, you..."

Arturo took a deep breath and stepped back, while Ape One released its grip on Arturo.

"Dr. Kōshū, I immediately plan to lead all the troops across the Pacific Ocean and directly attack California on the west coast of the United States."

He spoke to Kong Zhu with a tone that was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

"Go ahead, go ahead, let's make the Planet of the Apes rise!"

Kousuke, with a lollipop dangling from his mouth, casually brushed it off.

......

Arturo watched Sosuke's retreating figure, his expression constantly shifting, before finally abandoning the idea of ​​attacking Sosuke.

In a sense, this base has been taken over by the air force.

"Kenji, let's go."

He called to Kenji, who was wearing silver-white armor, and together they rode in a cat tank and left the cave.

"Tsk, if we were to invade, a lot of people would probably die, right?"

Kousuke took the lollipop out of his mouth.

"But with Qi Mu around, so what if I die?"

Kousuke put the lollipop back in his mouth.

"If I succeed, I'll travel through time and intervene to change things."

"Anyway, it's a worldview that reverses the superhero genre."

The man in black remained silent.

Kūzū did not help him repair his throat, nor did he install any voice system for him.

"Super Ape Number One, go follow Arturo Ape and see if you encounter anything interesting."

Xuan Se nodded, then turned and left.

After Super Ape One left, another figure covered in metal armor appeared behind Kousuke.

"Number Two, it's up to you now."

Kousuke pulled the lollipop stick out of his mouth after finishing it, and casually tossed it into the trash can.

------------

United States.

Water Corporation.

82floor.

"Mr. Edgar, we now only have two paths."

"Either admit it outright, or deny it to the death."

At the board meeting.

The directors all looked rather grim.

Stan Edgar sat in the CEO's seat, looking at the anxious directors, his gaze finally settling on Rorner.

"Director Rorna, what are your thoughts on this crisis?"

Reclining comfortably on the Italian-style sofa, Rolner raised an eyebrow as he watched the flustered state of the Walter board members.

No, Stan, in this situation, you still dare to ask me for my opinion?

"Me? I'll just sit and watch."

Rolner didn't even bother to talk to Stan.

"Director Rolner, how could you do this?"

"Excuse me, this is extremely rude."

"You haven't learned any of the scholarly demeanor from Dr. Bob."

One by one, the surrounding directors began to criticize and berate Rorna.

Rolner was getting impatient.

He slammed his hand on the table.

"Quiet."

He stood up from the sofa, glanced around at the board members present, and said calmly:

"Mr. Stan, I don't understand. Things have already come to this point, and the directors have just made their choices clear."

Why are you even asking me?

"Are you trying to shift the blame for the V leak onto me?"

"Please, I've only been on the board for a short time. How many labs are out there, how much V compound has leaked out? Are you trying to smear me?"

Stan's face twitched.

"No, Director Rolner, my..."

"Then get out! Are you the CEO, or am I?"

"If you can't handle the problem, you should step down and get out of here as soon as possible."

"I will be the next CEO."

Rolner criticized Stan mercilessly.

The directors from Stan's faction standing nearby blushed, but couldn't find a reason to refute them.

"It's obvious, as you said, Director Rolner, that I am the CEO."

Stan took a deep breath, looked at Rolner who was about to sit on the table, and said:

"Now, please return to your seat and do not disrupt the order of the meeting room."

Rolner rolled his eyes, picked up his bag, and left the meeting room.

Outside the door, three superhumans waited for him respectfully.

"Bishop Rorna."

"Let's go back to the office, a bunch of idiots."

As the conference room door closed, the remaining board members' faces darkened.
