Han Sen's deep gaze seemed to penetrate the thick dome of the Insect God Temple, looking out at the infinite void.
"Neo's other leader, the legendary hero, Blast's son... Blue!"
"Coincidentally, I'm also very interested in you and your father!"
...House of Evolution, the deepest laboratory.
The air was filled with a faint smell of ozone mixed with disinfectant, and countless precise instruments flickered with a faint blue light, emitting a low hum. Dozens of Clones, identical to Genus, were wearing white lab coats, working expressionlessly at various control panels, the entire space filled with a sense of high-tech efficiency.
As Han Sen's figure appeared in the laboratory, Genus, who was recording data at the main control panel, immediately sensed something, looked up, and a look of genuine respect appeared on his face.
"Boss!"
Han Sen nodded as a greeting, flicked his finger, and said, "Doctor, work's here."
The entrance to the Imaginary Nation opened before him, and dozens of Peach Garden Group members, who had been brought back by Reincarnated Phoenix Man, were dumped out like trash, piled up on the clean metal floor.
Genus paused slightly, then pushed up the glasses on his nose, the lenses reflecting the light of data: "Boss, these experimental materials are...?"
"Battle suits made by an underground organization that can instantly amplify an ordinary person's power to a level comparable to a Demon-level Monster."
Han Sen casually instructed, "You research it."
"So that's it."
Genus subconsciously adjusted his glasses, a white reflection flashed on the lenses, and several Genus Clones immediately understood and stepped forward, deftly dragging out Nailhead, who was on top, and placing him flat on the experimental table.
Various precise scanning probes extended from the ceiling and walls, aiming at the black battle suit.
"Interesting energy conduction structure, extremely high utilization efficiency, the armor uses a composite material of some kind of memory metal and bio-fiber, a technology I have never seen before..."
"Hmm? Adaptive neural connection system? The idea is bold, but the technical implementation is a bit rough, with a huge potential mental load..."
Genus, just by looking at the rapidly refreshing data stream on the screen, analyzed the characteristics of this battle suit clearly.
"Boss, I found something interesting."
Not long after, he raised an eyebrow, pointing his finger at a segment of highlighted core code on the screen.
"In the control system of these battle suits, a backdoor with the highest authority has been reserved."
"When necessary, the behind-the-scenes creator can forcibly seize control of the battle suits through this backdoor."
"It seems the organization behind them has big ambitions!"
Han Sen was already accustomed to Genus's research capabilities, which surpassed the current era, and was not surprised by this.
"As expected of you, Doctor, this is precisely why I brought them back intact."
Han Sen's tone carried a hint of approval, saying, "Analyze it, understand it thoroughly, and then integrate the useful technologies into our next generation of Monster modification plans."
"Understood!" Genus nodded slightly, his eyes calm and confident, "Please rest assured, Boss, in at most three days, I should be able to produce an optimized version of this battle suit!"
Hearing this, Han Sen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Genus, in his pre-shattered Dao Heart version, was indeed too overpowered!
Then, as if remembering something, he quickly said, "Oh, right, the technology extracted from the mecha Monster you captured earlier has matured and can be used in conjunction with these battle suit technologies."
"If convenient, you can have Armored Gorilla come to the base for an upgrade. I believe his computing power and combat power will both make a qualitative leap, allowing him to serve you better."
"Oh? Is that so."
Han Sen nodded. As a top-tier intelligent Monster, Armored Gorilla was quite handy for him.
This guy's biggest shortcoming was his combat power, but according to the Doctor, it seems the Monster Association will gain another Dragon-level executive this time.
(Psykos: Monster King is confirmed! This damned work ethic!)
"I'll have him report back to you. Oh, right, package up the new batch of Evolution Cells for me, I want to take them all."
Last time Han Sen only harvested the Mass-produced Asura and had already achieved a small goal, with completely sufficient Origin Point reserves.
The 2.0 version of Evolution Cells accumulated during this period could be used to cultivate his subordinates.
"Knowing that you, Boss, were coming, they have already been prepared for you."
Han Sen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What is talent? This is talent!
The two chatted as they left the laboratory, while the Genus Clones also called in the Mass-produced Asura Undead Warrior guard, who had been killed by Han Sen and then revived in batches, to package and take away the Peach Garden Group members lying dead on the ground.
Nailhead, whose skull was several times thicker than an ordinary person's, had long since woken up, but had been closing his eyes and pretending to be dead, not moving.
Discovering that he was being held by powerful Monsters he couldn't resist, his heart was even more filled with tears.
—Mom... I want to go back to work!
Nailhead's awakening naturally didn't escape Han Sen's perception, but he ignored it.
This guy's naturally endowed bone hardness was quite interesting. Giving him to the Doctor and Psykos for research might lead to a surprise.
One-Punch Kimimaro?
Han Sen had no interest in the fate of these small fries. What he truly cared about was the 'Machine God' organization behind the Peach Garden Group.
Hmm, various pieces of evidence showed their shadow also standing behind 'NEO. HEROES'.
This organization possessed robot technology far beyond the current era's level, and had long been stealing technology from the S-Class Hero, Child Emperor's mentor 'Metal Knight', seemingly intending to replace humanity through mechanical ascension.
A bunch of metal lumps, daring to attempt to rule the world?
Have you asked the Monster King yet?
...Z-City, uninhabited area.
Saitama's apartment could no longer be described as an apartment.
His originally somewhat shabby bachelor's residence had been transformed by Han Sen's Imaginary Divine Power into a luxurious large flat spanning multiple units, with a completely upgraded interior space.
In Han Sen's private suite, a huge LCD TV was playing a magical girl anime with a bizarre art style, in which the protagonist was physically exorcising enemies.
Han Sen was lying sideways on a soft sofa, enjoying imperial treatment.
"Ah—"
He opened his mouth, and Fubuki, kneeling beside him, picked up a peeled grape, and gently brought it to his mouth with her fair little hand.
She wore a dark green hip-hugging long dress, perfectly outlining her voluptuous curves. Her usually proud and aloof big-sister-like pretty face was now flushed with a complex blush.
She dared not look into Han Sen's eyes, only lowered her head, concentrating on the fruits in the fruit plate, as if it were some important task requiring the full effort of the B-Class Rank 1 Hero.
On the other side of the sofa, Tatsumaki sat with her arms crossed, pouting, like an angry cat with its fur bristling.
Beneath her iconic black high-slit dress, her two fair little legs swung impatiently, her petite body seemingly containing a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
"Puff-chan, I want potato chips." Han Sen didn't even look at her, his eyes still fixed on the TV, speaking lazily.
Tatsumaki's body stiffened, and her emerald green eyes flashed with a hint of shame and anger under Fubuki's curious gaze.
"Sister, what is a puff...?"
"Alright, stop asking!"
"Mmm mmm mmm...!"
