Chapter 156: The Choice Module Returns from the Dead?
GOD looked at the bald man who had suddenly materialized. His mindset was currently as steady as it could be.
By now, he had reached a point where he was no longer shocked by anything the Bald Demon did.
This guy was an existence that transcended all rules. Nothing he did was surprising anymore, not even inexplicably barging into someone else's soul space.
Anyway... what is he doing here?
GOD cast a suspicious glance at Solar Sperm. Through Solar Sperm's perspective just moments ago, he had witnessed this monster shamelessly choosing to submit to a master.
Does that mean his new "Master" is here to kick my ass?
Thinking of this, GOD felt the pressure on his psyche skyrocket.
In the physical world, He was already locked in combat with one constantly evolving monster (King). If another heaven-defying baldy joined the fray, it really was game over.
GOD was already frantically considering a tactical retreat.
Maybe I should just abandon the invasion for now...
After all, Solar Sperm—his strongest pawn—had defected. It was becoming increasingly difficult to fight two monsters who didn't even belong to this reality.
Returning to his high-dimensional world seemed like the best option.
No matter how strong King was, he was still a lower-dimensional being. As long as GOD hid in the high-dimensional realm, King couldn't touch Him.
GOD's only worry was whether that logic-defying baldy could literally punch a hole through the dimensional barrier.
Whatever. I'll give it one more shot. If I get killed, I get killed.
As for Solar Sperm...
GOD glared at him, preparing to strip away his Divine Power.
If I can't control you, I'll crush you.
Sensing the power being drained from his body, Solar Sperm's face filled with terror. He broke into a sprint across the pure white mental void.
He performed a magnificent power-slide, skidding for hundreds of meters until he stopped precisely at Saitama's feet, where he began kowtowing like a maniac.
"Master, save me! This guy wants to take your precious little pet to the slaughterhouse! I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that if I die, I won't be able to stay by Master's side anymore!"
As he reached the climax of his emotional plea, Solar Sperm actually burst into tears, looking like a heartbroken puppy.
Saitama looked at him, wanting to ask: Have we even known each other for thirty minutes? Is this level of drama really necessary?
But Solar Sperm was his new pet, after all. This "line-art creature" that looked like a bunch of mops tangled together actually wanted to send his pet to the slaughterhouse?!
Saitama's gaze shifted to GOD, looking thoroughly annoyed.
"Oi. Even if you're going to hit a dog, you have to look at its master first. You tried to send my pet to the slaughterhouse without even saying hello. That's pretty rude, you know!"
As his voice fell, Saitama threw a punch. Even though they were inside a mental world, the force of the blow was not diminished in the slightest.
BOOM!
GOD's mental projection didn't even have a chance to defend. It was detonated on the spot, turning into wisps of fading light.
Realizing the suction force inside him had vanished, Solar Sperm knew GOD's avatar had been deleted by his new Master.
"Gah! Long live Master! We adore you!!"
Looking at the fawning, sycophantic Solar Sperm, Saitama scratched his phantom hair helplessly.
I think I've picked up something really troublesome.
Meanwhile, Three Light-Years from Earth.
"Pfft-ugh!"
GOD's main body shuddered violently. A spray of blood erupted from his mouth, and his vision blurred for a moment.
The shard of his soul he had sent out had been annihilated by that punch before he could even retract the power.
Because the mental projection was destroyed so thoroughly, GOD's true body suffered a significant backlash.
The battle between Saitama and Solar Sperm in the mental space had felt long, but in reality, it had been resolved in less than twenty minutes.
In those twenty minutes, King and GOD had already exchanged several rounds of blows.
King was still radiating a vitality as vast as an abyss. His Aura was so powerful that it set the dark, silent starry sky ablaze with crimson flames.
He looked at GOD, whose aura had suddenly weakened, and guessed what had happened.
However, King didn't choose to press his advantage immediately. Instead, he stared at the translucent blue data panel that had suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations Host, you have triggered a Choice Event.]
Holy sht. The Choice Module actually returned from the dead?*
Since transmigrating to this world, King hadn't seen a new System Choice in a long time. He had mostly just been receiving daily stat updates.
Ever since breaking his limiter, King's stats had been growing steadily on their own, albeit slowly.
He had only seen these choices at the very beginning. King had assumed the "Choices" were just part of the Newbie Gift Pack.
[Option 1: Beat the GOD before you until He kneels. Let this self-proclaimed "Higher Being" from a higher dimension witness the true meaning of "there is always a sky beyond the sky." Show Him what a limitless, adaptive Super Stat Monster looks like!]
Reward: System Items x2, Random Skill Upgrade x1.
[Option 2: Stall for time against GOD as much as possible. Wait until you reunite with the Bald Demon, then slay Him with thunderous momentum. A true powerhouse must be cautious and thorough. Only with everything prepared can greatness be achieved.]
Reward: Random Skill Upgrade x1, All Attributes +5%.
King's eyes scanned the two blue panels, quickly locking onto Option 1.
The style of Option 2 wasn't for him. Besides, the reward included an attribute percentage increase.
What he needed more right now wasn't a small stat buff, but various items from the System. A diverse toolkit would boost his combat effectiveness much more than a 5% stat bump.
Not my style. Rejected!
"System, I choose Option 1."
[Ding! Congratulations Host for selecting Option 1. Rewards will be issued upon the defeat of GOD.]
