According to Takahashi Yu's orders, apart from Dr. Genus, the founder of the House of Evolution, the other members of the House of Evolution need not be cared for and need not be deliberately left alive.
After all, apart from Dr. Genus's own clones, the members inside the House of Evolution are basically all modified monsters, and in Takahashi Yu's eyes, they are all living points.
"Who's over there?!"
As Ryougi Shiki drew closer, the House of Evolution reacted swiftly.
Although in the original story, the area of the House of Evolution located on the surface was razed to the ground by Genos's Incineration Cannon, that was only because Dr. Genos had retreated after he had provoked a powerful enemy.
In addition, because Dr. Genus was eager to study Saitama's power, he sent out most of the House of Evolution's combat power to capture Saitama. The only one left that the base could still use was Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. Therefore, apart from some of the base's own protective measures, there were basically no monsters left in the House of Evolution in the original work.
But things are different now. The story is still in its early stages. Dr. Genus has not yet discovered Saitama's existence. There are plenty of monsters inside the House of Evolution. Even the surface buildings used for disguise are guarded by a number of monsters.
"That woman tried to break into the House of Evolution! Kill her!!!"
A strange-looking man, resembling a giant praying mantis, spotted Ryougi Shiki approaching the House of Evolution and immediately shouted at the other members of the House of Evolution.
Suddenly, more than a dozen strange-looking people rushed out of the building. Most of them had obvious animal features and looked like various animals that had come to life. They had obviously been modified.
The monsters had ferocious expressions and bared their teeth at Ryougi Shiki, who was charging towards them. Ryougi Shiki glanced at them briefly and found that although there were many of these monsters, their strength was generally not very good. Most of them were at the wolf level, and a few were at the tiger level.
That makes sense, since even the House of Evolution would need to consume a lot of resources to create a Demon-level monster. If they really had the ability to mass-produce Demon-level monsters, then the House of Evolution wouldn't need to be afraid of the Hero Association.
According to the Hero Association's ranking system, a hero who has the ability to fight a Demon-level monster on their own is basically qualified to be an S-class hero. In other words, the strength of a normal Demon-level monster is comparable to that of a lower-level S-class hero, although they may be slightly weaker under normal circumstances. This is because S-class heroes generally have the ability to defeat Demon-level monsters on their own, but the two are at least on the same level.
Although the House of Evolution deployed multiple Demon-level monsters in the original story in order to capture Saitama, it was almost an all-out effort. The House of Evolution was clearly not so extravagant as to use Demon-level monsters as guards.
With a flash of light, blood splattered instantly. Ryougi Shiki drew the katana hanging from her kimono waist and instantly killed all the monsters in front of her before rushing into the building.
Upon detecting an intrusion, the building's defenses activated instantly, but before they could even locate the enemy, Ryougi Shiki found the control center's weak point and stabbed it with her sword.
Suddenly, all the protective measures failed, and with all the monsters above already dealt with, the House of Evolution area on the surface was no longer in danger.
Ryougi Shiki then carefully searched the area and found the passage leading to the underground house of evolution.
Sheathing her katana, Ryougi Shiki used the passage to travel to the underground area of the House of Evolution.
Just like Saitama and Genos in the original work, Ryougi Shiki was greeted by a long and narrow passage. People unfamiliar with the House of Evolution might get lost in this environment, so it seems that meeting Dr. Genos will not be so easy.
But just then, the sound of the ground trembling came from afar. Ryougi Shiki looked in the direction of the sound and saw several more tall monsters rushing over, their average strength clearly much better than the ones above.
Unfortunately, she was still no match for Ryougi Shiki.
Ryougi Shiki opened her iridescent blue eyes and gripped the dagger in her sleeve. In this narrow passage, the dagger was more useful than the katana.
Swish!
With a slash across the death line on the body of one of the monsters who charged forward, the monster's body was instantly sliced open without any resistance. The unhealable wound caused the monster to retreat in pain.
Then, Ryougi Shiki changed direction and plunged the dagger into the vital spot on the chest of another monster. In just an instant, this seemingly ferocious monster lost its life.
As for the remaining monsters, they were quickly dealt with by Ryougi Shiki, leaving only the first monster lying by the passage.
Where is Dr. Genus?
Kneeling in front of the dying monster, Ryougi Shiki asked.
"I will never betray the Doctor!"
The severely injured monster roared at Ryougi Shiki.
"I understand."
Upon hearing this, Ryougi Shiki nodded, then pierced the monster's heart with her dagger, ending the monster's life.
Before dying, the strange man stared wide-eyed at Ryougi Shiki, seemingly puzzled as to why the other party had acted so decisively.
It was just putting on a show of toughness, and after a little probing, it readily confessed. But unexpectedly, after being rejected, Ryougi Shiki killed it without saying a word.
Unfortunately, this strange creature clearly couldn't understand the logic of clones. For a clone that pursues efficiency, since it had been rejected, there was no need to waste any more time.
Chapter 85: Genus's Doubts, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that Killed in One Click
Meanwhile, inside the House of Evolution, in the central control room.
"Has an intruder broken into the House of Evolution?"
Genus looked at the large screen in the center of the control room, which was showing Ryougi Shiki rampaging through the House of Evolution with the power of her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
"A strange attack method. The force doesn't seem particularly strong, yet it can easily tear through alloy with ordinary weapons. It's not a problem with the weapon itself..."
"Moreover, the method of killing the enemy also seems rather strange."
On the screen, several more monsters appeared, blocking the way. Ryougi Shiki plunged her dagger into one of the monsters. Although the location of the attack should not have been fatal to the monster, the House of Evolution monster that was attacked died instantly.
"What a strange power! It seems capable of killing enemies without regard to certain conditions? How exactly does this ability work?"
"It seems like a good research subject."
After much thought, he still couldn't figure out the essence of Ryougi Shiki's power. Then, Genus turned around and saw a dozen people behind him who looked exactly like him. These were clones he had created, possessing the same intelligence and thoughts as his original self. They could assist him in his research and also handle many of the household chores.
"Send out the Beast King and the Steel Gorilla. The House of Evolution's current strength is insufficient to deal with these invaders."
All we heard was Dr. Genos speaking.
Beast King and Steel Armored Gorilla are both modified monsters belonging to the House of Evolution, with strength at the Demon level, and at least at the mid-Demon level or above. They are fundamentally different from the small fry in the House of Evolution who have gone to obstruct Ryougi Shiki so far.
Among them, Beast King is the No.2 level combatant in the House of Evolution, while Steel Armor Gorilla is the No.3 level combatant. Apart from these two monsters, the only other combatant the House of Evolution has left is a certain Asura Rhinoceros Beetle that is imprisoned in the House of Evolution due to a defect.
As for Mosquito Girl, who could easily overpower Genos in the original work, she hadn't been modified by Genos at this point in time.
After all, the Vaccine Man storyline has only just ended, and even the Giant Brothers from the original work seem to have not yet appeared, let alone the storyline related to Mosquito Girl from the House of Evolution.
"Received. Beastmaster will arrive at the target location in two minutes, and Steel Gorilla will arrive within six minutes."
......
House of Evolution, inside the underground passage.
Relying on clues extracted from some cowardly eccentrics, Ryougi Shiki is steadily moving closer to the central control room.
However, at that moment, a strange noise was heard.
On the left, an iron gate at the end of a passage opened, and a strange, beast-like figure covered in thick hair rushed out, exuding an aura of restlessness.
"Be careful, the target has a positional ability that can kill the enemy directly. Try not to be hit by its attack."
The communicator on his body transmitted a warning message, but the Beast King threw it away, smashing it against the wall around the passage and shattering it into pieces.
"Enough with the nonsense. Even if someone is strong, so what? They'll still die by my hand."
Roaring, the Beast King charged straight at Ryougi Shiki.
"Tear your body apart with my claws! Beast King Burst Slash!!!"
Like shooting stars, the sharp claws, leaving trails of afterimages, intertwined to form an impenetrable net, completely enveloping Ryougi Shiki in front of them.
All around, whether it was the alloy tunnel walls or the corpses of some monsters that had been killed, everything was torn to shreds in an instant, as if it had been put into a cutting machine.
In response, Ryougi Shiki drew her katana, focused her gaze, and slashed at the point of death.
puff!
Instantly, a bloody claw flew up and landed on the ground. The Beast King, on the other hand, looked at his left hand, which had been severed at the root along with his wrist, and let out a furious roar.
"That damned bastard cut off my left hand! I'll make him pay!"
If the pain was secondary, having one's hand severed by a woman was simply a disgrace.
The injury of a severed hand could be fully recovered in no time thanks to the medical expertise of the House of Evolution. However, the humiliation of being injured by a woman was something the Beast King could not tolerate.
It could clearly sense that although the woman in front of it gave it a strange sense of danger, she was not strong. Why... why was it injured by her?
Clearly, the Beast King, who hadn't listened carefully to the intelligence reports, didn't realize that the wounds inflicted by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception would never heal.
If it really wanted to heal the wound left by the cut, it would probably have to cut off its entire arm and replace it with a new one.
Of course, this is all predicated on the fact that it has such an opportunity.
Don't think you can beat me like that!
At this point, the Beast King had lost its left hand, and could no longer use dense attack techniques like the Beast King Hundred Slash. But even with only one hand left, it was still a Demon-level monster.
The Beast King bent his knees, and his three-meter-tall, muscular body moved rapidly through the narrow passage as if it were spring-loaded. His remaining right hand flashed across the spot where Ryougi Shiki had stood, leaving several cracks nearly half a meter deep.
Ryougi Shiki, who had left early, frowned at this.
Although she severed one of the opponent's hands, this fighting style actually posed a greater threat to her. After all, with her physical condition, she would be seriously injured if she were to be hit by the Beast King even slightly, and the Beast King was even faster than her.
Should I activate the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception at maximum power? Although that would consume a lot of energy, it would instantly kill the enemy in front of me.
But his goal this time was to find a doctor named Genus. Now that he hadn't even met him, was it worth it to waste a large part of his strength on this monster in front of him?
Based on her calm and rational thinking, Ryougi Shiki made a simple judgment and decisively activated the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Even though it consumes a lot of energy, it's better to activate the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and finish them off than to waste a lot of time on the opponent. Now that we're in the enemy's stronghold, the more time we waste, the greater the variables will become.
Ryougi Shiki made a decisive choice regarding the current situation.
With her gaze fixed on the Beast King who was relentlessly attacking her, Ryougi Shiki increased the power of her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, triggering all the death lines on its body.
"Damn humans, tear them apart!"
The roar that echoed through the passageway came to an abrupt halt.
In an instant, the Beast King, who had been filled with rage, froze on the spot, staring ahead with a hint of fear in his eyes. His throat throbbed as he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was covered with terrifying, lacerations, as if he had been cut.
The towering body was thus shattered into pieces of flesh before Ryougi Shiki's eyes, falling to the ground piece by piece, with blood flowing freely.
This is because Ryougi Shiki activated the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, but only triggered the Death Line, not the Death Point, resulting in such a bloody visual effect.
Chapter 86: A Wise Man Knows When to yield; Dr. Genus's stroke of luck
It wasn't that she did it on purpose, but rather that activating the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in this way would be much less powerful than triggering the point of imminent death at the same time, and the energy consumption would be reduced accordingly.
Although it makes the visual effects a bit scary, it's a trade-off.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Just as Ryougi Shiki stepped over the Beast King's corpse and was about to put away her weapon and continue towards the central control room, another tremor struck.
In the distance, a three-meter-tall, bulky, and incredibly robust black gorilla, clad in a suit of alloy armor, slowly strode toward Ryougi Shiki.
"Target detected, prepare to eliminate."
