In the original work, Saitama is a hero driven by interest. He first killed Mosquito Girl, then wiped out the elite force sent by the House of Evolution to capture him, and then headed aggressively towards their headquarters, clearly intending to exterminate them all.

Under those circumstances, Dr. Genus hesitated for a long time before deciding to release the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

On the other hand, Ryougi Shiki, although she also wiped out the House of Evolution's elite forces, spared the life of Gorilla Steel. Her purpose from beginning to end was very clear: to find Dr. Genus, not to destroy the House of Evolution.

Furthermore, Ryougi Shiki is not a hero of the Hero Association, at least not now, so there is no obvious conflict of interest between her and the House of Evolution in terms of their positions.

Dr. Genus, harboring a glimmer of hope, naturally wouldn't release the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle as he did in the original story.

Otherwise, if we were to release the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, it would be a Dragon-level monster, and not even the lowest-ranking one.

Although Ryougi Shiki has a record of defeating the Dragon-level monster Vaccine Man, and Takahashi Yu believes in Ryougi Shiki's strength, if she is accidentally bumped or injured by the opponent during the battle, her body, which has just recovered from its injuries, will probably have to go back to the infirmary. That would be truly a situation that is both funny and frustrating.

Therefore, the Asura rhinoceros beetle must be dealt with.

Currently, the other clones each have their own missions, and Ryougi Shiki's body is too fragile, so there is a risk in sending her into battle.

Coincidentally, Takahashi Yu hasn't made a move in a long time since he took possession of Sadako's videotape, and now he's itching to do something.

With Borsalino's power already synchronized, he can basically win even against Rhinoceros Beetle.

Therefore, Takahashi Yu is prepared to personally handle the matter concerning the Asura rhinoceros beetle.

Of course, that's all for later. Right now, Takahashi Yu needs to go and meet Genus to formally recruit him and confirm the situation.

......

The next day, the One-Punch Man world.

"Director, are you really sure about this?"

Inside the House of Evolution, two figures could be seen walking one after the other in a passageway.

Looking at Takahashi Yu in front of him, Dr. Genus, who was walking beside him, couldn't help but ask again.

After being taken to the containment facility by Ryougi Shiki yesterday, Dr. Genus suddenly experienced shock from other worlds. In addition, he was recruited by Takahashi Yu. In the end, he joined the containment facility and became a member of Takahashi Yu's team. He was mainly responsible for biological aspects, such as ideas on super dangerous species, weaponization of ghouls, and research on the perfect T virus, etc.

At the same time, Takahashi Yu also ordered people to use Genos's cloning technology and DNA samples of Japanese officials collected from the containment facility to begin creating clones loyal to the containment facility, and to secretly replace the original owners with these cloned officials.

Although such practices are somewhat unethical, it is reality after all, and it is impossible to have the best of both worlds. Besides, those officials who were replaced were not good people either.

Those who can rise to high positions in Japan are mostly good people, with only a small minority. Takahashi Yu doesn't need to replace them all; as planned, he can simply win over some, control others, and sideline the rest.

As for those officials who were replaced, unless they say so, who would know that they have been replaced?

Chapter 88: Leaders Should Possess a Sense of Mystique

With Dr. Genus's cloning technology, Takahashi Yu could truly turn Japan into his own personal fiefdom without any future troubles, and even gradually seize power over the entire real world.

Now, Dr. Genus's newly hired boss wants to challenge his former most powerful henchman to a one-on-one duel, and just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Having witnessed the existence of other worlds, Dr. Genus, after joining the containment facility, was eager to make his mark. However, today, Takahashi Yu came over and told Dr. Genus that she was going to have a one-on-one fight with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, which almost gave him a heart attack.

The two are currently in front of the underground passage where the Asura rhinoceros beetle is imprisoned; a short distance further ahead is the area where the Asura rhinoceros beetle is imprisoned.

Despite Takahashi Yu's repeated explanations that he was very strong, he was still very uneasy.

If his new boss dies, forget about realizing his ambitions by relying on the existence of other worlds; his dreams might just be starting out and then crumble halfway through.

"Director, perhaps we should just forget about it. With my clones stationed at the House of Evolution, we can keep the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle under control for now. Now that I've joined the containment facility and have its research resources, I can quickly develop new biological weapons. It won't be too late to deal with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle then."

Looking at Genus, who was still admonishing him, Takahashi Yu shook his head with amusement.

Although Genus is an early villain in the One-Punch Man world, he is not strictly speaking a bad person. It's just that his experiences from childhood have led him to believe that all humans are a bunch of hopeless idiots, which is why he wants to form the House of Evolution and lead the old humans to evolve into new humans.

Now that Genus has joined the containment facility and witnessed the existence of other worlds, his perspective is no longer limited to his original narrow world.

Therefore, everything Dr. Genus is saying now is out of genuine concern for Takahashi Yu. After all, as the founder of the containment facility, Takahashi Yu is the most crucial channel for the facility to communicate with other worlds.

If anything were to happen to Takahashi Yu, Dr. Genus's newly broadened horizons would likely be forcibly pushed back, which would undoubtedly cause him even more pain than the original situation.

This is the main reason why Dr. Genos repeatedly gave this advice.

However, it is clear that Dr. Genos underestimated Takahashi Yu's strength. But this is not surprising, since as the founder and leader of an organization, few people would directly associate his strength with his identity.

Just like Dr. Genus next to Takahashi Yu, as the founder of the House of Evolution, although there are many powerful monsters in the House of Evolution, and even Dragon-level monsters like Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, isn't his strength no different from that of ordinary people?

Of course, exceptions exist in some worlds where strength reigns supreme.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

After leaving Dr. Genus outside, Takahashi Yu walked alone towards the area where the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle was located.

He was just itching to fight, so he suddenly decided to find an opponent to test his current strength. However, he had no interest in being a monkey on the sidelines as a spectator during a battle.

As the leader of the organization, a certain degree of mystery is also important. Just like many ordinary members of the shelter, they all know that Takahashi Yu has extraordinary abilities, but no one knows exactly what they are.

The ability to transport people to other worlds, and the use of Stands, are just some examples. Who knows if there might be more?

The question of what abilities the director possesses has always been a popular topic of discussion among the members of the shelter during their leisure time.

As Takahashi Yu's abilities continue to grow, this mystique will never be broken, which will be even more beneficial for him in leading his subordinates.

......

After walking to the end of the passage, a huge space appeared before them; this was the area where the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was imprisoned.

Upon entering, a pungent, fishy stench assaulted Takahashi Yu's nostrils, causing him to wrinkle his brow in disgust.

Clearly, as the dwelling place of the Asura rhinoceros beetle, the sanitary conditions here are not very good.

On the one hand, no one dares to come and clean it up, and on the other hand, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle itself doesn't care about it.

After being modified by the House of Evolution, Rhinoceros Beetle became a Dragon-level monster, but this also resulted in various defects such as intellectual decline and emotional instability.

Despite gaining immense power, the human aspect of them actually leaned towards that of beasts, which, from an evolutionary perspective, was undoubtedly a loss.

After all, the reason why humans are powerful is because of their wisdom. Even the power of the Asura Rhino Beetle, which is almost comparable to that of a high-level Dragon-level monster, is strictly speaking based on the wisdom and research of Dr. Genus. It is no wonder that Dr. Genus would say that the Asura Rhino Beetle is a flawed failure because it abandons wisdom for power.

Boom...boom...boom...

Heavy footsteps echoed in the silent space, and the bloated body of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, bound by iron chains, slowly emerged from the shadows.

"You have the scent of a living person. So you're the one Dr. Genus sent here for me to ravage today? You bastard~"

The enormous body raised its arm and pointed at Takahashi Yu in front of it. The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had a sickly smile on its face and asked Takahashi Yu with its mouth wide open.

Behind it were many broken body parts, as if they had been crushed by a powerful force, with dried blood everywhere.

In order to keep the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle in check, Dr. Genus sends many clones to the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle every day for it to vent its frustrations, and the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's way of venting its frustrations is to cruelly kill these clones.

Now, it's clear that Takahashi Yu has also been treated as the target of Dr. Genus's venting by the rhinoceros beetle.

Takahashi Yu nodded in agreement.

“I was indeed brought here by Dr. Genus, but there’s one thing you might have got backwards.”

"It's my turn to ravage you, not the other way around."

Raising his right leg, imbued with Armament Haki and the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, he kicked Ashura Rhino Beetle in the face like lightning.

In an instant, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's face twisted 180 degrees, and it flew backwards to the side.

"You dare kick my face!"

The excruciating pain in his face instantly overwhelmed Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle's remaining rationality with rage. He immediately turned around, and his massive body appeared before Takahashi Yu at a speed completely disproportionate to his size, his enormous hand reaching straight for Takahashi Yu's body.

If caught, even steel will be molded into a lump like clay.

However, the giant hand did not touch the object, but passed through Takahashi Yu's body without any obstruction.

Lightspeed kick!

While dodging the attack by transforming into an elemental form, Takahashi Yu delivered another kick, striking the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle in the face with lightning speed.

Chapter 89: The drawbacks of insufficient combat experience, Asura Mode!

Bang—! ! !

This kick was more powerful than the previous one, so despite being on guard, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was forced to retreat again.

Watching the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle cover its face and retreat, Takahashi Yu finally understood why some people like to slap someone in the face when they want to hit them.

Although the damage is not great, it is extremely humiliating, and most importantly, it feels great to fight.

"You bastard! I'm going to tear you to pieces!!!"

In contrast, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, which had been repelled twice, felt the pain on its face again. Its mind was filled with nothing but anger. Its bloated body rushed forward and attacked Takahashi Yu like a madman.

"Tian Cong Yun Sword!"

Takahashi Yu showed no fear whatsoever. He stretched out his hands and used the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit to materialize the Ama-no-Murakumo Sword to meet the attack.

For a time, the sounds of battle were incessant.

However, due to its elemental nature, the attacks of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had no effect on Takahashi Yu at all. On the contrary, each attack by Takahashi Yu, wielding a lightsaber, left several wounds on the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

Perhaps in the infinite world, there are many other powers that can restrain elementalization besides Armament Haki, but a pure physical attack like that of the Asura Rhino Beetle could not possibly cause even the slightest damage to Takahashi Yu.

Unless the attack is strong enough to reach Saitama's level, Ashura Rhino Beetle will never be able to touch Takahashi Yu in his lifetime, unless Takahashi Yu decides otherwise.

A few minutes later, the enraged Asura Rhinoceros Beetle seemed to realize that something was wrong.

My body is covered in wounds, while the other person's clothes are completely intact, as if I had been standing there punching the air for several minutes!

Just then, taking advantage of the moment when the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was distracted, Takahashi Yu's lightsaber pierced into the opponent's shoulder, with most of the blade embedded in it, and blood gushed out immediately.

However, this attack failed to force the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle back. Instead, it caused a ferocity to reappear in the beetle's eyes, and it lunged at Takahashi Yu instead of advancing.

In the mind of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, since it cannot touch the opponent when it attacks under normal circumstances, it should be able to touch it when it attacks while the opponent is attacking, right?

This time, Takahashi Yu did not use elemental transformation to evade the attack. Instead, he released the Ama-no-Murakumo sword and retreated a distance. Then, he condensed another sword and clashed head-on with the Asura Rhino Beetle.

In an instant, the immense force caused the entire underground space to tremble, and both figures were forced backward.

"You bastard, you actually managed to hurt me."

With its strong legs, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle carved two deep furrows into the metal floor. It steadied itself, and the anger in its eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a hint of instinctive wariness.

The creature before him, visible yet intangible, possessed truly bizarre abilities. Normal attacks could not even touch it, and he, the number one fighter of the House of Evolution, was being suppressed.

This was something the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had never experienced before, which annoyed it while also making it somewhat cautious.

Meanwhile, Takahashi Yu, who had been thrown backward, managed to regain her balance.
