Chapter 153: Ultimate Orochi
"The strongest hero, Chang Wei…"
The Monster King, Orochi, chuckled.
Chang Wei, however, remained expressionless, his face as lifeless as a dead fish, showing not the slightest ripple of emotion.
"If this level of attack isn't enough to make you take me seriously, then I have no choice but to go all out!"
Orochi suddenly withdrew his smile, realizing how awkward it was to be laughing alone.
"Oh? I've been waiting for your performance."
Chang Wei replied.
Orochi stood up, his massive body rapidly shrinking—or rather, compressing. In the end, he condensed into a small giant over two meters tall.
His appearance and art style underwent a drastic change—this was the power he had gained after evolving once more by absorbing the Supercell Solution.
"Be careful not to die. In this form, I have no idea how strong I really am, but I'm certain I can hurt you!"
In an instant, Orochi vanished from sight.
"Not bad… Boom!"
The next moment, Orochi closed in on Chang Wei, launching a lightning-fast, forceful straight punch. Chang Wei opened his mouth as if about to speak, but his attack was even faster.
Orochi only saw a flash of light before he was sent flying, crashing into the wall. Only after that did Chang Wei's words and the piercing, shrill shockwave reach him.
Even without entering that state, he still possesses such terrifying speed, power, and reflexes?
Orochi freed himself from the rubble and exploded forward with even greater speed. This time, his hands formed the stance of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist mid-air.
"A monster using martial techniques? Are you scared?"
Chang Wei chuckled. Facing Orochi's incoming flowing strikes, he considered something for a moment and decided not to use his psychic powers to maintain an untouchable defense.
Though it was indeed invincible—even if Boros in his Meteoric Burst form were here, Chang Wei's psychic powers could still block his attacks—
Thinking about it like this, wasn't he a bit too overpowered?
But against that bald demon king, Saitama, psychic power probably wouldn't hold up to a single punch.
"Normal Punch."
Chang Wei decided to follow the local customs. Besides, Saitama's move names had an undeniable sense of style—if only the guy himself weren't such a clueless goofball.
As his fist swung forward, the friction with the air turned it from a glowing red to a blinding white-hot.
Chang Wei deliberately refrained from using psychic power to isolate air friction, wanting to remind Orochi of how terrifying this punch was.
"Normal Punch?"
"What kind of move name is that?"
Orochi felt mocked—was this meant to insult him?
"I'll deflect your fist!"
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a massive dent appeared in his body!
"Ba… Ga… Na!!!"
"That punch was still so far away—"
Yet just the shockwave alone had almost pierced through him!
Orochi blasted through the Monster Association's walls, soaring aboveground before finally slamming into the psychic barrier Chang Wei had set up.
"Urgh!"
He opened his mouth, vomiting fragments of his own organs. The invisible force of the punch had nearly torn through him, and his insides had turned to mush.
However, Orochi's recovery was absurdly fast—this level of damage wouldn't affect his life or combat ability.
—
Psykos was stunned by the battle between Orochi and Chang Wei.
The surveillance eyeballs she had dispatched had witnessed Orochi's unexpected transformation into a new form. If it weren't for his unchanged brainwave signals, she wouldn't have recognized him.
Yet this vastly stronger Orochi was still so helpless before Chang Wei?
Chang Wei, after sending Orochi flying, didn't bother following up. Instead, he turned his attention to Psykos, sensing her hesitation about whether to approach.
Of course, he had to give Psykos an opportunity.
With telepathic guidance, he nudged Psykos toward making her move—this is your chance, seize it!
Psykos, already on the verge of madness from her visions and prophecies, unhesitatingly grasped at the opening.
—
Orochi waited for a while but saw no sign of Chang Wei.
"That bastard… does he think I'm dead?"
Orochi was furious. That punch had been terrifying, but there was no way it had killed him in one hit.
Especially since it was just a Normal Punch.
Then, he saw Psykos.
"Psykos…"
"Orochi…"
The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's intentions. Orochi acted without hesitation—his body retained the abilities of his previous form.
"Trying to resist me? Dream on—you'll always be mine!"
Psykos didn't resist as Orochi's tendrils wrapped around her.
Their battle transitioned into a mental clash, while their physical bodies began merging!
However, this fusion wouldn't cause drastic changes—unless, like in the redraw version, Psykos came into contact with God's power. That might allow her to break past the Dragon level in one go.
That planet-slicing energy cannon had been calculated to be more than ten times stronger than Boros' Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon.
And yet, even that absurdly powerful Ultimate Orochi was instantly shredded into dried-up snake skin once an unrestrained Tatsumaki went all out…
Mind you, that was injured Tatsumaki.
So… could Tatsumaki actually stomp Boros?
The redraw's logic was completely broken—the power scaling made no sense.
—
Tatsumaki pursued Psykos' true body, only to run into Chang Wei.
"You again!"
Tatsumaki immediately got riled up.
"Want to be sealed away again?"
Chang Wei mused—third time's the charm. If Tatsumaki tried jumping at him again, he'd just lock her in the Earth's core forever.
His patience had its limits. He had destroyed countless worlds already—good or evil, in his eyes, they were all the same. The only reason he even acknowledged them was due to their designated roles.
"Hmph! Don't get cocky! One day, I will—"
Before Tatsumaki could finish, Chang Wei had already vanished.
"Damn it, that bastard!"
Tatsumaki fumed—how dare he leave before she finished talking?!
—
Chang Wei left, not just out of impatience with Tatsumaki but also because he had suddenly sensed a strong energy presence.
It was insignificant compared to him, but among the beings he had encountered so far, this one was top-tier.
Then, he saw it—
A gigantic, white-colored Psykos.
"So this is power… I've surpassed even monsters!"
Psykos gazed at her own massive body in awe. Then, she noticed Chang Wei.
"How much power does God even have? Damn shame I can't find his real body… maybe I should check the moon?"
Seeing her transformation, Chang Wei knew she had accepted God's power.
He couldn't help but drool at the thought of that mysterious entity handing out power like candy.
