Chapter 229 : Big Eyes: Are you kidding me!
Terrible Tornado slowly loosened her clasped hand, releasing the deadly pressure.
In her emerald green eyes, there was no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
She floated in mid-air, looking down at the pile of mangled flesh and the Gyakusatsu that was still barely clinging to life, and spoke haughtily:
"What a boring farce. I say, are you still going to waste my time with this puppet?"
The Gyakusatsu's only remaining giant eyeball trembled violently, filled with disbelief.
"You... what are you talking about...?"
"Still playing dumb?" Terrible Tornado pouted impatiently, a hint of mockery in her voice.
"Although your psychic power is much stronger than ordinary espers, its foundation is too unstable, like a castle temporarily built of sand."
"Showy but impractical, that describes someone like you."
She extended a slender finger and gently tapped her temple, her movements incredibly elegant.
"More importantly, this body is missing the most core element."
As she spoke, her emerald green eyes seemed to penetrate layers of rock, looking directly at the figure hidden deep underground.
"I can feel that the real you is hiding deeper in this base, peeking at everything through this puppet. Right?"
Terrible Tornado's words were like a clap of thunder, striking the Gyakusatsu's mind.
All of its disguises were completely seen through by this green-haired little girl!
The giant eyeball stopped twitching and fell into a deathly silence.
This silence, in itself, was an admission.
Psykos, she had never imagined that there was such a despair-inducing gap between herself and Terrible Tornado!
No! It absolutely cannot end like this!
She still had her strongest trump card!
Yes, the trump card!
That ultimate lifeform she had personally created, one that transcended all disasters!
That invincible being she had sent to block KING, who should have completely suppressed him by now!
"Do you think... you've won?!"
In despair, the Gyakusatsu's voice rang out again.
This time, its voice no longer trembled; instead, it carried a hint of crazed sneer.
"Terrible Tornado! You are indeed very strong! Strong like a Monster!"
"But! In this base, there are existences more terrifying and incomprehensible than you!"
"Oh?"
Terrible Tornado raised an eyebrow with interest, "Are you referring to that so-called 'Monster King'? Perfect, it saves me the trouble of looking for him. Tell him to get out here and see me."
"Haha... Hahahaha! Tell him to come out and see you? Terrible Tornado, you overestimate yourself too much!"
The Gyakusatsu laughed wildly, as if clutching at its last straw, and shouted:
"You will soon understand how ridiculous your insignificant psychic power is in front of the ultimate lifeform I created!"
It placed all its hope on that invincible existence.
Now, it was time to summon the king!
"Come out! Monster King Orochi!!!"
The Gyakusatsu roared with all its might.
Its voice, carried by the special structure of the lair, spread in all directions.
"There are invaders here who don't know their place! Please let her witness what true terror is!"
"Come and save me! Monster King Orochi!!!"
Its roar was filled with urgent anticipation, echoing for a long time within the control room sealed by psychokinesis.
However... one second passed.
Silence.
Apart from its own echo, there was no movement in the entire lair.
Two seconds passed.
Still a deathly silence.
Terrible Tornado stood with her arms crossed, watching it quietly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"Wh-what's going on?"
The Gyakusatsu's call began to fade at a visible rate.
A hint of confusion and unease appeared in its single eye.
It shouldn't be like this!
With Monster King Orochi's power, even if he couldn't deal with KING, he would definitely respond if he heard such an urgent call during a battle.
Even just a roar would be enough to prove his existence.
Could it be that the battle was too intense, and he didn't hear?
Yes, it must be!
KING was still very strong, and even Monster King Orochi had to concentrate all his energy to face him.
"Monster King Orochi!"
It called out again, unwilling to give up, its voice already trembling, "Come quickly!"
This time, it not only shouted with its voice but also condensed its remaining psychic power into a mental signal, transmitting it deep into the lair.
However, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
That will, which it was most familiar with, seemed to not exist in this world at all.
The atmosphere in the control room became incredibly eerie.
The Gyakusatsu's scream abruptly stopped.
Its giant single eye was wide open, its pupils constricted into tiny dots due to extreme shock and fear.
"No... impossible... my mental link..."
It mumbled, its voice so weak it was almost inaudible, "Why is there no response... Monster King Orochi..."
An unprecedented chill instantly pierced its true body hidden deep underground—Psykos's heart.
She dared not think further; that worst-case scenario made her body turn cold.
No! I must confirm it with my own eyes!
The Gyakusatsu exerted all its strength, mobilizing its psychic power to activate a backup eyeball clone it had long placed near Monster King Orochi.
It was a miniature eyeball, only the size of a fist, disguised as an ordinary rock, and had been dormant to prevent it from being destroyed by the aftermath of battle.
As psychic power was injected, the vision of that miniature eyeball was instantly synchronized with Psykos's mind.
The view was first a blur of darkness and chaos, then the image gradually cleared.
What first came into view was that familiar giant underground cavern.
This was where Monster King Orochi resided, the central hub of the entire Monster Association.
But now, it had become a ruin.
On the ground, on the walls, there were traces of battle everywhere.
However, none of this was the main point.
The main point was that the ultimate lifeform, as vast as a mountain—Monster King Orochi—was gone.
In its place were fragments of flesh scattered throughout the entire space.
The King was dead.
Psykos's consciousness, at this moment, went blank for a brief period.
Her eyeball clone rotated sluggishly, trying to find traces of the culprit.
Then, it saw him.
Right in the center of the King's remains, a figure stood quietly.
He wore a perfectly ordinary plaid shirt and jeans, had dazzling golden hair, and was currently facing away from her line of sight.
He just stood there, doing nothing.
No energy was released, no combat stance was taken.
He just stood there calmly.
But his very existence seemed to be the absolute center of this space, the source of everything that had happened.
It was him... he killed Monster King Orochi... The name, which she considered her greatest threat but had temporarily overlooked due to Monster King Orochi's power, flashed through the Gyakusatsu's mind.
She used all her strength to utter a voice filled with shock and disbelief.
"K... KING..."
