Starting with one punch, I'll stop being human.

The thick, solid black armor was covered with spikes, and through the gaps in the armor, one could see exceptionally strong muscle tissue and thick energy lines.

The top three advanced combatants in the House of Evolution—

"Armed Gorilla!"

Disaster Level —

"Beep beep beep..."

"High energy reaction detected... Intruder... Threat level... Extremely high...!! Initiate... Elimination mode...!!"

Boom, boom, boom...

The armored gorilla, over three meters tall, emitted a monotone, mechanical synthesized voice, slammed its thick arms into the ground, and strode toward Han Sen with overwhelming force as the ground trembled.

“Oooooohh ...

"Uru ru ru ru—!!"

"Wryyyyyyy——!!"

Seemingly encouraged by their leader's imposing manner, the modified gorilla monster behind them excitedly pounded its chest, letting out a series of incomprehensible roars as if cheering them on.

"It's noisy."

Han Sen picked at his ear, a faint blue light appearing in his eyes.

An invisible force field swept by like a gust of wind, and the tremors that flattened the ground spread rapidly!

In an instant, it bypassed the armed gorillas and landed precisely on the modified gorilla troops behind it.

Sensing something amiss, the armed gorilla paused, tilting its head slightly. Out of the corner of its eye, it saw its many subordinates struggling, enveloped in purple light, floating in mid-air like drowning wild beasts!

The next moment, a thunderous roar erupted in the underground base, and dense lightning bolts fell from the sky. Dozens of large lumps of charcoal appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with a strange smell of burnt meat!

[Defeat 64 Tiger-level monsters and obtain 5218 Origin Points!]

Upon seeing the pop-up system notification, Han Sen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in satisfaction.

As expected of an elite force led by a Demon-level combatant, this group of modified gorillas is far stronger than the previous monster force. Although their numbers are small, the amount of Origin Points they contribute is comparable!

"...Huh?"

The armed gorilla turned around stiffly and saw the handsome human standing in front of it. It immediately shivered.

"Alright, now it's your turn."

As the blinding electric light emanating from the opponent's fist flashed, the electronic light in the armed gorilla's eyes suddenly contracted.

The Demon-level monster's intuition told it that if this punch landed, it would definitely die without a burial place!

"A private Marseille!!"

"……Um?"

The fist crackling with electricity froze in mid-air, and the armored gorilla's alloy helmet opened and closed like Iron Man's helmet, revealing a grinning gorilla head.

The gorilla's forehead opened again, like a rice cooker lid, and a small white flag popped out, fluttering in the wind.

The three-meter-tall armed gorilla obediently sat down in front of Han Sen, as docile as a child weighing several tons.

Chapter 58 Ouch! What are you doing?!

"That...ahem..."

Seeing Han Sen squinting and casting a questioning glance, the armed gorilla quickly cleared his throat. The cold and ruthless mechanical voice from before vanished, replaced by a deep male voice that was slightly obsequious and nervous.

"I apologize, sir! I may have spoken too loudly just now, actually..."

"I'm here to welcome you, please don't misunderstand!!"

Dr. Genus & his clones: ? ? ?

Sure enough, people laugh when they're speechless.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

Han Sen chuckled and lowered his fist, his gaze teasing, "So you can talk nicely after all?"

"Armed Gorilla" chuckled and replied, "It's just for show... and my identity is indeed that of a biologically modified combat robot..."

"Really? Then why are you so skilled at this surrender gesture?"

"Ah...this..."

Han Sen looked the armed gorilla up and down, his face contorted with embarrassment, and asked, "So, your brain has also become completely mechanized?"

“Yes,” the armed gorilla said, looking down to show its empty head, “but because it has a smart chip as a substitute, it’s actually no different from a normal living being.”

Goodness, they've even managed mechanical ascension.

Sure enough, anything is possible in this world, and Dr. Genus, the villain from the beginning, is becoming increasingly formidable.

"Alright, since you said you came to welcome me, then..."

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Han Sen raised his hand and patted the hard alloy shoulder of the armed gorilla, leaving several clear palm prints on it: "Doing a few more of those welcoming ceremonies like just now shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course I didn't ask T... huh?"

The armed gorilla blinked, and seeing that Han Sen wasn't joking, it broke out in a cold sweat.

House of Evolution, underground base control room.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost frozen.

On the main screen, a clear image played of an armed gorilla bowing and leading Hansen deeper into the area.

Clones 17 slammed their fist hard on the control panel, their handsome faces contorted in pain as they clutched their aching fist and gritted their teeth.

"Armed Gorilla! That traitor!!"

The demon-level combat power that was cultivated with a lot of resources and effort actually chose to surrender?

Beside him, clone number 16 calmly adjusted his glasses: "Is it possible that it actually did this for a longer period of time than it did?"

"……Uh?"

Just then, one of the clones exclaimed in surprise, "We have received an encrypted communication from the armed gorilla!"

As he made his move, a dialog box popped up on the big screen, showing the image of an armed gorilla with the following text written behind it:

I have successfully infiltrated the target's inner circle! While preserving my forces, I will search for the enemy's weaknesses and await the opportunity to counterattack!

"Endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens...preserve your strength...!?"

How could they even say that!

Dr. Genus's lips twitched. This damn gorilla, does he think he can whitewash the fact that you surrendered with this kind of rhetoric?

However, the next moment, he and his numerous speechless clones suddenly realized that this approach seemed...

It is not entirely incomprehensible.

In the scene, the arrogant second combatant of the House of Evolution, the cyborg "Beast King" in lion form, walked out of the passage with "Mosquito Girl".

Upon meeting, the two exchanged only a few words before the Beast King roared and unleashed his killing move – "Lion Slash: Rain of Power"!

The claws, which blurred into a streak of light, unleashed countless dazzling slashes, shattering the solid alloy ground into countless fragments!

But in the next second, it was struck head-on by an ordinary fist and blasted apart!

Blood and bits of flesh instantly stained the surveillance screen red. The mosquito woman, who had been eyeing Han Sen with lustful eyes, froze in mid-air, speechless with fear!

"This guy said he could beat me with a flick of his fingernails, but it seems he can't."

Han Sen looked at the dumbfounded, strange woman, "Mosquito Girl," with a kind of sinister gaze: "How about it, do you want to give it a try?"

His calm gaze was like the tip of an iceberg floating on the water, yet the overwhelming sense of oppression he exuded made the poor Mosquito Girl too afraid to move, terrified that his terrifying fist would fall on her at any moment.

According to Dr. Genus's calculations, if she can absorb a large amount of blood, she can awaken an even stronger "bloodthirsty form".

However, that's just speculation, and besides...

Looking at the fresh blood of the Beast King flowing all over the ground, Mosquito Girl felt that even if her strength increased several times over, she might not be a match for the terrifying human in front of her!

"Well, sir... the one that died was just its own doing. My colleague, like me, had no ill intentions towards you!"

Just as Mosquito Girl was about to meet her tragic end, Armored Gorilla stepped in, rubbing his hands together and saying, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! If you'd like to have some fun, I can take you to the base's armory. As for her..."

"Hey! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pour tea for this respected gentleman!"

"Eh...me?"

Mosquito Girl blinked, seeing Han Sen's amused and noncommittal expression, she immediately raised her arm connected to the sharp claws and complained, "But look at my body structure, does it look like I'm capable of serving tea and water?"

The armed gorilla's lips twitched, and it whispered, "There are plenty of spare organs in the incubation chamber. Why don't you just find a human whose limbs were bred with your genes and replace them?"

Mosquito Girl pouted, her little face full of reluctance: "Ah, but that will hurt a lot?"

"Compared to being killed outright, it's just a brief pain, and it'll be over quickly."

"Eee~~~"

As the armed gorilla spoke, it tore off Mosquito Girl's arms and legs with two sharp "rips" and threw them aside. Mosquito Girl let out a soul-stirring scream in pain and turned to glare at it angrily.

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

"understood!"

The simple conversation revealed just the tip of the iceberg of the House of Evolution's technological prowess.

Replacing organs or limbs is considered a major surgery, but in the eyes of the freaks of the House of Evolution, it's a simple repair that can be done in minutes.

Watching the mosquito woman fly away in a flash, the armed gorilla helplessly wiped away his sweat.

Such a simple multiple-choice question, yet it took so much effort. These combat-type cyborgs are definitely missing a screw in their heads.

After finally managing to coax that clueless guy away, it remembered Han Sen beside it, and turned around with a start, its face full of embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, you had to see this!"

"It's nothing," Han Sen said teasingly, tapping the armored gorilla's alloy armor. "I didn't realize you were so capable."

Chapter 59 The Wisdom of Apes

Knowing that his little schemes had been seen through by the terrifying man in front of him, "Armed Gorilla" became so nervous that his body temperature soared and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Although I don't know why cyborgs have the strange ability to sweat, this is the One-Punch Man world, so it's fine.

Even in this life-or-death situation, it still smiled sincerely and quickly explained, "It's like this, although I am a combat robot, I am also equipped with a comprehensive module, so I am knowledgeable in various fields. Therefore, please feel free to tell me what you need!"

"Not bad."

Han Sen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

It must be said that there is a reason why the Armed Gorilla was able to survive well with Dr. Genus even after the House of Evolution was forced to disband.

This guy is quick-witted and knows how to act according to circumstances. He's a rare kind of intelligent eccentric, and would be perfect for an administrative role in a team.

And what about the mosquito woman who also survived...?

High popularity and the ability to act cute are all that's needed; what need is there for a brain to be a mascot with good looks and a great figure?

“That’s right, I need talents like you on my end.”

A semi-transparent, pale blue gust of wind rose from beneath Han Sen's feet, lifting him into the air with telekinesis. He patted the armed gorilla on the shoulder again: "I'll talk to Dr. Genus later. You two will be working for me from now on."

"what……?"

The armed gorilla froze again.

Even the doctor's identity has been investigated; the enemy was indeed prepared!

But what's with poaching people on the spot?

What kind of hidden evil organization is behind this guy?!

(Sydkes: Achoo!)

"Hey, hurry up and get to the next floor, there's still..."

Han Sen's voice came from afar, interrupting the armed gorilla's train of thought.

"Don't forget about the arsenal you mentioned later."
