Konoha's Mission Master

The Hero Association, the top-level platform.

Tornado opened her eyes and stared coldly at Yakumo, while Genos next to her raised his head, giving her a look that said, "Are you crazy?"

Tornado is the anchor of all humanity. If she hadn't slaughtered so many god-level monsters over the years, perhaps by now... the seven cities of humanity would have been wiped out. Even if monsters need humans to live... they wouldn't be as free as they are today.

Yakumo shrugged helplessly.

"I'm guessing, under normal circumstances..."

"The true identity of that third god-level monster who has never appeared will surely surprise everyone... This is the twist."

"That couldn't be a tornado either."

Genos's voice was very confident.

"Okay, let's get back to the question... why didn't you lose your memory?"

"Because I have this."

Tornado pointed to the black Rubik's Cube pendant on her chest.

"This is an item condensed from the black stones collected by the explosion. It can not only amplify my telekinetic power, but also isolate the will of the gods, so that my memories will not be affected."

Yakumo released his soul energy, sweeping it across the black stone pendant.

In his original world, he had never read the One-Punch Man manga, only watched a few episodes of the anime. Although he knew that Blast was collecting black stones all over the world, he did not know the true purpose of the black stones.

At this moment, the soul energy probe did indeed detect a rather special energy, but it was impossible to determine the true function of that energy.

"In short, Tornado cannot be a mysterious monster."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Yakumo nodded in agreement. Although his conversation with Tatsumaki had resolved his doubts, many more questions had arisen.

However, there's no need to rush now.

"There will be a major operation in the next few days."

Tornado's body slowly floated off the cushion and drifted to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant city... She whispered to the group.

"How big?" Genos stood up and walked to the window to ask.

"It is enough to overturn the current situation. Only by uniting all of humanity's energy into one can we hope to save Saitama and rewrite the end of the world."

"Are you planning to take action against the senator?" Genos asked.

Power in the human world is now divided into two parts, with legislators holding authority over many technological weapons, such as laser weapons and nuclear weapons.

Tornado now intends to take both powers for herself.

After receiving the answer, Yakumo proposed to leave. Human change had little to do with him; after all, he was just a passerby.

Saitama's sealing away is probably the biggest secret in this world, and the sealing place in Z City should be the strongest BOSS level in this dungeon.

However, Yakumo only barely possessed the strength of the Darkest Monster and was completely incapable of participating in the ultimate battle.

This exploration has come to an end.

Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yuuki were very curious about the sights of City A, and in the next few days... Yakumo planned to take them for a stroll.

Over the next few days, Masako Mori learned how to use a computer.

She quickly fell in love with online games, spending a lot of time on them every day, while Yougu Qianxue used this time to continue practicing her swordsmanship.

After that parting, Yakumo never saw Genos again.

Although the plan to attack the three forbidden zones was shelved due to Yakumo's refusal, the Hero Association launched attacks on the Holy Light Cult, the Eternal Night Tower, and the Void Society.

Tornado personally directed the operation.

Many high-ranking officials in the seven human cities who had secretly sided with the monsters were purged, including five councilors and one S-class hero.

From this, it seems... Tornado is still trying to rewrite the ending and is trying her best to find a way to influence the power of the Angel King and the Dark King.

After this incident came to an end, humanity went into defensive mode, guarding against retaliation from the monsters.

The strange man did not retaliate, and City A remained calm.

After this period of purges, several members of parliament lost their power for various reasons.

The tornado suddenly erupted, forcefully reclaiming power from the remaining councilors and becoming the de facto ruler of humanity, reaching the pinnacle of its personal prestige.

When it all came to an end, Yakumo still couldn't believe that this was Tatsumaki's doing; she was turning from a hero into a dictator.

But she didn't stop. Tatsumaki planned to take advantage of Yakumo's residence in City A, where he could take care of the safety of human cities, to go deep into the cities controlled by monsters around her and carry out a cleanup operation.

That night, Tatsumaki left with Yakumo's shadow clone.

Three days later, Tornado returned severely injured.

Yakumo's shadow clones, in conjunction with Tatsumaki, killed three God-level monsters, fifty-six Dragon-level monsters, and nearly ten thousand other monsters of various levels.

During this outing... Yakumo witnessed Tatsumaki's difference. She no longer wasted a single bit of her telekinetic power, always targeting the monster's most vulnerable parts, and each attack was for the purpose of killing.

For three consecutive days, she didn't stop.

Finally, the Angel King appeared before Tatsumaki, seemingly representing some kind of rule, maintaining the balance between humans and monsters.

The two engaged in an epic battle. Even though Yakumo's shadow clones repeatedly pushed their intelligence attribute to over 100 points and used the ability to stop time, the two exhausted all means to fight against the Angel King.

However, the result was that the shadow clone was destroyed and Tatsumaki was seriously injured.

The Angel King displayed despair-inducing power, but according to the truth revealed by Tatsumaki, above the Angel King... there is a mysterious third person.

Tornado returned severely injured, but her influence expanded once again, making her the sole leader of the seven human cities.

The girl, hammered by responsibility, spurred on by the apocalypse, and threatened by destruction, eventually grows into a queen, only... in the process she loses many emotions and becomes like a cold machine.

Of course, Yakumo gained a lot in these three days, acquiring a total of 1.5 million conquest points and 12 free attribute points.

At this point... the attribute points contributed by the god-level monster have reached their limit.

Yakumo's intelligence attribute dropped significantly due to using Time Freeze. After redistributing the points back to the maximum, he had 26 free attribute points remaining.

Tomorrow is the dungeon settlement day, and he wanted to try something out today.

City C, 5,000 meters underground.

Yakumo used Wood Release to create a powerful defensive formation, and then took out Kaido's Devil Fruit from a storage scroll.

Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form.

According to the game system's prompts, one can only withstand the pressure brought by two Devil Fruits when their constitution reaches 90 points.

Yakumo's current constitution is 79.9. With the 10% boost to all attributes, it will be around 88 points. If the boost from Sage Mode is added, her constitution will exceed 90 points, meeting the requirements.

But in fact, every time you break your limits, your body undergoes a new transformation, strengthening itself at a deeper level.

Although his constitution attribute broke through 90 thanks to various enhancements, he missed two very important transformations.

In other words... his current physical attributes are a bit artificially inflated.

Eating the Azure Dragon Fruit at this moment involves an element of gambling, but if the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit breaks through the current bottleneck in physique and strength, then Yakumo would save 150,000 gold coins.

Of course, if things don't work out, Yakumo can raise his intelligence attribute to over 100 points, seal the Azure Dragon Fruit inside his body, and then fuse and absorb it when his physical attributes meet the requirements in the future.

I'll stop here. This isn't too dangerous, so I can give it a try. I witnessed the power of the Angel King a few days ago, which strengthened my resolve to take the gamble.

Yakumo took out a blue Devil Fruit.

Before consuming it, he needed to suppress the fluctuations of his Soul Fruit as much as possible to avoid a major battle as soon as the two came into contact.

"Sage Mode, activated."

Yakumo's physical attributes are now close to 93 points, which meets the system's requirement for fusing a second fruit.

With a small crunch, Yakumo quickly suppressed the urge to vomit, allowing the new Devil Fruit to fuse with his body.

A strong heat flowed through his body, and Yakumo's height gradually increased, his physique became more robust, and fingernail-sized blue scales spread from his wrists to his arms.

Purple electricity coursed through his body. Suddenly, the lightning energy within Yakumo's body was awakened. It began to actively absorb the deep purple arcs of electricity, its aura subtly growing stronger.

The first step has been completed.

Immediately afterwards... the animal will within the Devil Fruit awakened and immediately began searching for a place to reside and rely on. However, when that will entered the heart, it immediately discovered that there was already a master there.

The battle between the two sides thus began, with the heart as the battlefield.

A sharp pain suddenly shot through Yakumo's chest, and he quickly manipulated his life force to enter his heart and repair the damage.

"Since you are unwilling to listen, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

The life source energy was responsible for repairing the heart, while Yakumo began to mobilize soul energy to attack the animal will. Since it was unwilling to submit, the only option was to devour it.

Suddenly, Yakumo saw a blue dragon soaring through the nine heavens, its divine power supported by auspicious clouds and thunder.

Golden light spread, and Yakumo's will transformed into a giant. He clenched his fist slightly, as if getting used to this magical feeling.

This body of will is very light, as if it can change its shape at will.

Apart from the Azure Dragon and the Giant, this space was an endless ocean with no ripples on the surface, like a large mirror.

This is Yakumo's space of will.

"How peaceful it is," Yakumo murmured.

Outside... the fruit that was gradually merging into flesh and blood also began to surge violently, and the scorching energy was no longer gentle but began to destroy the body.

Yakumo casually tossed the healing orb into his mouth, then stopped paying attention to the battle of flesh and blood, focusing more on the battle of wills.

In fact, Yakumo was not going to lose from the very beginning. The golden giant approached the Azure Dragon, and the originally violent purple lightning gradually disappeared.

Golden arcs of electricity rose from the embodiment of Yakumo's will, and the Azure Dragon's ability to manipulate lightning had been taken away by Yakumo.

The Azure Dragon, dwelling in the clouds, roared incessantly, its voice deafening.

If you look closely, you'll find that the scales on the Azure Dragon's body are lifelike, each one tightly fitted together, but its eyes don't have much of a sparkle; it's just instinctively venting its anger.

A blue dragon descended from the sky, bringing with it a fierce wind and dark clouds. Dense raindrops began to fall from the sky, causing ripples to spread across the once tranquil lake of the heart, which was as still as a mirror.

The battle of wills is inherently extremely dangerous.

"I want a weapon that is sharp enough to cut through everything."

Golden light spots gradually split from the lake of the heart, rapidly converging towards the palm of Yakumo's hand.

Golden light shone brightly, converging into a long sword in Yakumo's hand.
