MC Raw name is Chen Xiao, change it to Ren(For my brain)
[Abandon your brain—just enjoy the fight]
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang in his ears. Ren forced his eyes open, his mind a mess.
What the hell happened?
All around him lay the shattered skeleton of a city; countless ruined houses were piled into hills, looking like the end of the world.
"What on earth is going on…?"
The moment he spoke, Ren realized something was off.
When did my voice get this rough?
The next second, memories flooded in like a tide. He instantly understood everything, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
I transmigrated into One-Punch Man and became the so-called "Strongest Man on the Surface of the Earth," KING?!
Judging by this scene… don't tell me—
A bad premonition struck him. Not only had he become KING, but he had also opened his eyes on a pile of rubble. There was only one scenario that matched.
A crisp crunch of tiles sounded behind him. He stiffly turned his head, and his face turned green.
It really is that one!
Behind Ren, a three-metre-tall, muscle-bound purple humanoid stood atop the ruins, its crimson pupils sweeping over the desolation with satisfaction.
Two long antennae sprouted from its head; at a glance, it looked just like Demon King Piccolo.
Dragon-Level Monster—Vaccine Man!
Cold sweat poured down Ren's body; his heart pounded like a drum, the dull thuds echoing inside him like an engine roaring to life.
This was KING's unique physiology—his heartbeat was thunderous, audible from dozens of metres away whenever he got excited.
Noticing the sound, Vaccine Man finally looked down and spotted the petrified Ren, his fists clenching.
"There are still humans alive?!"
Before Ren could react, Vaccine Man launched into his self-introduction, a torrent of words crashing down.
"Listen, human! I am Vaccine Man, the incarnation of Earth's will! You are maggots who pollute this planet! I judge you in Earth's name! I will exterminate humanity and give the world new life!"
As he ranted, he grew more agitated. A radiant sphere of light began to condense in front of him, aimed straight at Ren.
Ripples of energy flowed across the sphere's surface, its brilliant glow illuminating the apocalyptic ruins as destructive power gathered.
Ren wasn't unwilling to run—he simply couldn't move. The pressure of a Dragon-Level Monster, combined with his own terror, made his legs feel like lead. He couldn't take a single step.
Saitama—where are you? Bald Cape, save me!
On the verge of death, a cold system notification suddenly rang beside his ear.
[Ding! System loaded. Congratulations, host: you've received a newbie gift pack.]
[The pack grants one random ability—power completely random. Draw now?]
Draw, draw, DRAW! Hurry up!!!
Ren screamed frantically in his mind, afraid that even a single second's delay would cost him his life.
He had no idea what ability he'd get, but any port in a storm.
Though panic-stricken, his face remained calm. That majestic visage and composed expression stabbed straight into Vaccine Man's fragile psyche.
"You're not afraid? A mere human—don't get cocky! I'll grind your bones to dust and wipe every last germ of humanity from Earth!"
Vaccine Man poured in more energy; the sphere before him multiplied into dozens, each far larger than before.
Those few seconds of delay were enough—the novice draw was complete.
[Ding! Newbie pack opened.]
[Congratulations, host: you've obtained—Eight Gates (Death Gate) Physique.]
[Eight Gates (Death Gate) Physique: You gain Might Guy's power while the Death Gate is open, maintained as your default state with no life-force cost.]
Huh?!
Surprise flashed through him. Then a torrent of scorching heat erupted inside, surging through every limb and rapidly remodelling his tall but previously weak body.
Vaccine Man sensed the change. A trace of gravity flickered in his crimson eyes as an unprecedented pressure swept over him.
This human seems stronger—so what! I am the will of Earth. Why would I fear a mere human?!
Suppressing his unease, Vaccine Man flung his arm. Dozens of light spheres shot out at extreme speed.
The instant they hit the ground, they detonated. Devastating energy swallowed hundreds of metres, turning everything into scorched earth.
Looking at the blackened ground and the vanished human, Vaccine Man snorted disdainfully.
"Hmph. Just a lowly human daring to challenge Earth's will!"
At that moment, his antennae twitched. Sensing something wrong, his eyes snapped wide as he whirled around.
Behind him, Ren stood completely intact, staring at his own body in a daze.
In the 0.1 second before the explosions, Ren had instinctively dodged. The speed he displayed shocked even himself.
So this is Death Gate speed?
Interesting—at least ten times the speed of sound.
Seeing the human still alive, Vaccine Man felt rage like never before. Veins bulged across his purple skin.
Without hesitation, he entered Stage Two, his humanoid form ballooning into a monster nearly a hundred metres long.
Crimson pupils gleamed amid the smoke; razor claws and fangs completed the horrific transformation.
"Earth's maggot—just die!"
Facing the rampaging Vaccine Man, Ren lowered his centre of gravity and assumed a punching stance.
Feeling the explosive power inside him and the surging blood-qi, he drew a deep breath.
"Since I've more or less tested my speed, let's check my strength."
Rampaging Vaccine Man was at least high Dragon level—perfect for calibrating his power.
Vigorous blood-qi surged like tidal waves; every muscle was primed.
Ren launched himself like a cannon shell, the ground beneath him shattering into spiderweb cracks.
Eyes sharp, he faced the stinking maw of the roaring Vaccine Man and threw a punch.
No fancy effects. No flashy move names.
Just a punch that tore the air apart with a sonic boom.
Boom—boom—boom!!
An invisible shockwave erupted from the impact, blasting away smoke and rubble to carve out a clear circle.
Vaccine Man's crimson pupils widened in disbelief as he stared at his shattered body.
"H-how… is this possible…?"
The punch had torn straight through his defences. The terrifying force ripped his flesh apart, leaving a gaping hole in his massive frame.
Agony flooded his mind. Rage gave way to clarity, and his pupils sharpened.
This is bad—I can't win!
But the instant that thought surfaced, it was already too late.
Ren flashed in front of him. That fist—tiny compared to the monster's colossal body—filled Vaccine Man's vision…
