Chapter 636: End of Psykos



Chapter 636: End of Psykos

"!"

Upon hearing the sound from behind, Garou almost immediately turned and launched an attack.

Garou clench his right hand's five fingers together into a blade shape. As he twisted his body, he delivered a downward slash without hesitation. The air roared with the force, and even the ground was split by the force of his punch.

But in the next second, Garou's attack suddenly ceased.

It wasn't for any other reason than that he saw the child in the other person's hand.

"You..."

Garou stared at the Snot Boy being held up by Fang Mo, unsure of what to say. After a long silence, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Are you really a hero?"

"Then are you really a villain?"

Fang Mo smiled and said, "So now I've found the way to deal with you: just say the opposite of whatever you say. It will absolutely leave you speechless."

"I just think it's meaningless."

Garou said in a deep voice, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?"

"I think it makes a lot of sense."

Fang Mo directly lifted the bewildered Snot Boy in his hand: "Even the Monster King Orochi knew to have you kill a hero to prove your identity as a villain. But in the end, you haven't killed a single person... So in my view, you're just a sulking child. You simply don't dare to kill."

"In that case... I'll kill him then."

Hearing this, Garou seemed to give up on explaining anything and directly assumed an attack stance.

"Come, aim right here."

Fang Mo smiled and pointed at the chest of the Snot Boy: "Kill him instantly so he won't feel any pain."

"B... Big brother?"

Seeing this scene, the Snot Boy was also a bit stunned, looking at Garou in disbelief.

Garou didn't say much. He just looked up at the frightened Snot Boy. His aura continued to rise, but he remained completely still.

After waiting for a few seconds, Garou finally moved.

He first took a step forward, seemingly about to kill the human child. But at that moment, a terrifying explosion sounded in the distance, and then a dreadful stream of light instantly attacked Garou. It was as if Garou sensed it, and he raised both hands to block the attack.

There was a loud bang.

The violent white energy instantly swept over a range of several hundred meters.

Fang Mo wasn't affected, but the Snot Boy was almost scared to death. Fortunately, a light shield suddenly appeared around him, so he wasn't torn apart by the terrifying shockwave.

"Hmm? You can withstand a punch from me in my normal state?"

Boros, seeing this scene, felt somewhat surprised: "Fang Mo... actually found me a decent opponent."

"Are you... a monster?"

After blocking Boros's punch, Garou looked up and observed him.

"I am Boros, the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves." Boros laughed heartily: "Since you're an opponent Fang Mo found for me, I suppose you can fulfill my wish to fight strong opponents... So, tell me your name."

"Dark Matter Thieves? Leader?"

Garou, hearing this, seemed to realize something: "Wait, that invading spaceship in City A, could it be..."

"That's my ship."

Boros laughed: "Alright, enough with the nonsense, come and fight me with all your strength!"

Saying this, Boros clenched his fists again: "I've been hitting that absurdly tough stone pillar before, it was no fun at all. Now I can finally have a fair fight with a strong opponent..."

"You, as expected, are not a hero."

However, upon hearing this, Garou turned his gaze to Fang Mo: "You hypocrite, you're actually siding with a monster..."

"You, indeed, are not a monster," Fang Mo retorted without even looking up. "You pseudo-evil person, you didn't even dare to kill a human child... Were you stalling for time just now, waiting for him to come and fight you?"

"....."

Hearing this, Garou fell silent again.

On the contrary, Boros on the opposite side, excitedly launched an attack on Garou: "I don't know what you're discussing... but talking is pointless now. Let's settle things by defeating me first!"

Boros' strength was still undeniable.

Even the monster-fied Garou did not dare to underestimate his attacks at this moment. He immediately used his martial arts to counter Boros' strikes and attempted to retaliate.

Although there was no official designation for a god-level threat, both the monster Garou and Boros clearly far surpassed the dragon level. Thus, their battle was extraordinarily fierce, with the two of them moving like flashes of light, colliding everywhere, and unleashing hundreds of punches in an instant.

In a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with scenes of catastrophic destruction.

Fang Mo watched their battle for a while.

Boros still focused on raw power, complemented by his regenerative ability, embodying the ultimate in violent aesthetics with every punch and kick.

On the other hand, Garou was completely different. Although his strength and speed were also formidable, his agility and technique were astonishing. He seamlessly integrated various forms of martial arts, including fist, leg, and breathing techniques, achieving near-perfect execution with constantly changing and unpredictable moves.

Just as Fang Mo was watching the fight like a movie, a subtle movement suddenly came from a distant crater in the ruins. Then, a wise-looking stone head emerged from it.

"Hmm?"

Turning his head, Fang Mo saw that it was the Bedrock Golem that Boros had taken away earlier.

"Isn't that Old Stone?"

Seeing the Bedrock Golem not far away, Fang Mo waved at it: "How are you? Are you hurt?"

"....."

The Bedrock Golem shook its head as it walked towards Fang Mo.

"As expected of the Stone people, tough as ever," Fang Mo remarked casually, then drew his degenerate greatsword and poked the golem with it: "Alright, go back and stay put, you're not needed here anymore."

The Bedrock Golem did not resist and was immediately absorbed into the sword, turning into a vortex.

After storing the Bedrock Golem, Fang Mo looked at Boros and Garou again.

What surprised him was that the two seemed evenly matched at this moment. This was unexpected because Boros should have easily overpowered him.

"Wait a minute..."

Thinking of this, Fang Mo suddenly noticed the degenerate greatsword in his hand: "Could it be that Boros has been fighting the Bedrock Golem in the mirrored space all this time?"

With this thought, Fang Mo looked up again.

Upon closer observation, he found that Boros indeed wasn't in great condition. Both the force of his punches and his internal energy seemed weaker than when he fought Fang Mo, likely due to significant exhaustion.

Nevertheless, Garou didn't seem to be gaining any real advantage either.

It seemed it would take a long time for them to determine a victor.

"Emmm..."

After contemplating the situation, Fang Mo simply turned and left. Since both of them were battle maniacs, he decided to let them continue fighting while he dealt with the aftermath.

Soon, Fang Mo crossed the portal and returned to the crater.

However, just as he returned, a black figure suddenly lunged at him.

Instinctively, Fang Mo was about to punch but stopped when he heard Black Sperm's voice: "Master! Save me!"

"Ah?"

Recognizing Black Sperm's voice, Fang Mo pulled back his punch, extending his hand instead to grab the strange antenna on Black Sperm's head.

"What's going on with you?"

Fang Mo was carrying a black blob the size of a child and asked a question.

"While you were gone, Psykos started attacking us again," the black blob hastily said. "Homeless Emperor has already been captured by her roots. I don't know where he went, and she just tried to attack me... Fortunately, I managed to evade her."

"What? Psykos is still alive?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo glanced around.

However, there was no sign of Psykos anywhere, only a smoking molten pit on the ground. In the air, a small demon was looking around as if searching for something.

As for the previously rampaging Elder Centipede, it seemed to have collapsed on the ground, motionless, with its body charred and covered in wounds.

Unable to spot Psykos openly, Fang Mo checked his Steve's perspective and indeed saw an avatar on the mini-map not far from him. Yet, there was nothing actually there, just an empty space.

"…Underground?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately reacted.

"Shoggoth."

Without hesitation, Fang Mo called out.

Soon, the sound of running came from not far away. Fang Mo turned his head and saw a gigantic Pochi running toward him.

As Fang Mo frowned, a chirping sound suddenly rang out. Pochi slammed his front paws on the ground, stopping abruptly in front of Fang Mo. Pochi lowered his head, revealing a small black cat perched obediently on his head, elegantly licking its paw.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"

Seeing Fang Mo, the little black cat meowed.

"…Are you saying you've tamed it as your underling?"

Hearing Shoggoth's explanation, Fang Mo couldn't help but rub his forehead. "As expected, a dog's status will never surpass a cat's?"

"Chirp?"

The little black cat tilted its head curiously.

"No, it's nothing," Fang Mo shook his head. "By the way, have you cleared the underground area?"

"Chirp..."

The little black cat closed its eyes to sense for a moment, then seemed to be stunned: "Chirp?"

"Another one appeared?"

Fang Mo nodded. "Very well, force it out."

This time, Shoggoth didn't chirp but started executing Fang Mo's order seriously. Soon, the ground began to shake, and not long after, the ground burst open a short distance away. A bloody, mangled mass flew out, struggling to free itself from Shoggoth's black tentacles.

The thing vaguely resembled a human, but its body was made entirely of blood vessels and tumors, looking extremely grotesque. Fang Mo even saw half of Homeless Emperor's face on it.

However, it seemed he had been completely absorbed, with his eyes sunken and worm-like tentacles emerging from his eye sockets, wildly waving about. The sight was utterly repulsive, giving one goosebumps just by looking at it.

"Damn it..."

After emerging from the ground, the bloody mass emitted Psykos's voice. She glanced around and, upon seeing Fang Mo and Xiao Yao, was terrified.

Almost immediately, she fled desperately in one direction.

But she hadn't gone far when she saw the recently deceased Elder Centipede lying on the ground.

Without hesitation, Psykos lay on Elder Centipede's body. In the next second, numerous blood vessels from her body pierced into Elder Centipede's shell. The supposedly dead Elder Centipede instantly revived, its massive body desperately fleeing.

Sensing her end was near, Psykos used all her strength.

In an instant, the wriggling flesh roots covered Elder Centipede's entire body. This fusion seemed to enhance the host's power, allowing Elder Centipede to burst forth with unprecedented speed, reaching the edge of the crater in no time.

"You're not getting away!"

In the air, Xiao Yao noticed this and fired an ion cannon from above.

With a loud explosion, a mushroom cloud slowly rose, and Elder Centipede's body was blown in half at the waist. But to everyone's surprise, the upper half continued fleeing desperately.

Just as Elder Centipede was about to escape the crater, a giant sword suddenly swooped down, slicing through his head, splitting both Psykos and the countless flesh roots inside in half.

Elder Centipede couldn't withstand this blow. With a sound, his shell cracked, his massive body collapsing to the sides. It continued to move forward slightly due to inertia, spraying foul-smelling blood everywhere, like a torrential blood rain over the area.

"Sorry, this time it's not a horizontal slash."

Near the corpse, Fang Mo stood with the giant sword on his shoulder, calmly saying, "This time, it's a vertical slash."
