"So Holess Emperor is dead..."
Lying naked on the bed, Psykos looked at Zuke sitting on the edge of the bed. After hearing Zuke's account, she couldn't help but sigh.
From her fragrant, sweat-drenched state, it wasn't hard to tell what had just happened—although Psykos acted like "I'm being forced" on the surface, in reality when she got going, she was more proactive than anyone.
At least judging from Psykos's bodily reactions, she had actually completely accepted being dominated by Zuke, without the slightest intention of resistance.
"Yeah, it shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"
Zuke nodded. He had just told Psykos about Holess Emperor's death, and Psykos's reaction looked quite calm, seemingly not treating Holess Emperor as important.
Speaking of what impact Holess Emperor's death had on Psykos... it was probably that one fewer person knew that Gyoro Gyoro's true form was Psykos. Now only Zuke and Tatsumaki knew.
However, since they had just done that sort of thing together, Zuke still put on an act of concern and asked Psykos about her plans, to see if Holess Emperor's death would affect any of Psykos's arrangents.
"Originally there would have been trouble. After all, the Monster Association's goal was originally to counterattack the Hero Association, and Holess Emperor was very important combat power."
Hearing this, Psykos rolled her eyes at Zuke—you already killed Holess Emperor, yet you're still coming to ask if I'm troubled. Even if there really is trouble, it's already too late to fix it, right?
"However, now that you've said not to attack the Hero Association, naturally this matter doesn't matter anymore... I'm thinking about what I should have the monsters do next."
Although Psykos inwardly still held dissatisfaction toward the Hero Association, since Zuke had ordered her not to attack the Hero Association, she could only abandon her original plan.
However, with so many monsters gathered at the Monster Association, if there was consistently no action, quite a few monsters would probably beco restless afterward. So Psykos needed to find sothing for them to do.
Hearing that Psykos seed to already have follow-up arrangents, Zuke also nodded without asking further.
After all, Zuke wasn't so impressive managent talent. After using "King's Army" to subdue these forces, he basically acted as a hands-off boss, letting others continue managing these forces.
However, Zuke's return this ti wasn't purely to do that sort of thing with Psykos—or rather, having already done that sort of thing, it was ti to discuss serious matters.
Zuke raised his hand, and golden ripples appeared in the air. Then that black cube from "God" fell out of the ripples and was caught by Zuke:
"By the way, I'm planning to find a monster to test sothing. They might gain a huge boost in strength afterward, or they might die... Do you have any recomnded candidates?"
"Hmm? You want to grab a guinea pig for experints?"
Psykos froze, then looked sowhat oddly at the black cube in Zuke's hand, asking in a sowhat subtle tone:
"The strength boost you ntioned, it couldn't be giving them Divine Power like Holess Emperor, could it?"
"Oh? So you know that Holess Emperor's power ca from 'God'?"
Zuke looked at Psykos with so surprise. He hadn't expected she could imdiately na the source of Holess Emperor's power.
However, thinking about it carefully, in the original work Psykos also ntioned content related to "Divine Power."
"It'd be hard not to know. Holess Emperor was always talking about how he received 'God's' favor at the Monster Association, calling his power 'Divine Power.' My ears have calluses from hearing it."
Psykos's face showed a sowhat disgusted expression, probably recalling so of Holess Emperor's past behaviors, leaving her montarily speechless.
"However, since you've brought out this black cube... that ans this thing is related to that so-called 'God,' right?"
"That's right. After touching this cube, you gain the qualification to converse with and et 'God.' If you pray to it, you might receive the power it bestows."
Zuke smiled as he explained to Psykos, tossing the black cube in his hand—this thing was actually quite heavy. If thrown on the ground, it would probably crack the floor.
"How about it? Are you interested?"
"...I'll pass. After hearing your description of how Holess Emperor died just now, I really don't want to die like that."
Psykos's eyes flickered, but in the end she shook her head in refusal—once she accepted "God's" power, the result would be having her life controlled by "God."
Although now her everything had already been controlled by Zuke, she really didn't want another controller above her head. One Zuke was already more than enough.
"So you want to find a monster to test—what are your requirents?"
"As for requirents, strength shouldn't be too high, but also not too weak. Preferably soone whose combat power has flaws and urgently needs to improve their own combat capability."
Zuke thought for a mont, then casually gave a requirent.
Those too strong probably wouldn't have much desire for "God's" power. In that case, "God" might not bestow power on them.
As for those too weak, "God" might look down on them. Not everyone was as lucky as Holess Emperor, getting "God's" attention just from sensing their own insignificance.
"Not too strong in strength, but can't be too weak either... then we'd be choosing from Demon-level monsters, right?"
Hearing this, Psykos quickly began screening according to Zuke's requirents.
"And they need combat power flaws... In that case, I can think of a possibly suitable candidate."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Zuke raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Psykos to co up with a candidate so quickly, so he also asked curiously.
"You don't know much about the Monster Association mbers anyway. Even if I told you, you wouldn't recognize them, right?"
Psykos naturally didn't know that before transmigrating, Zuke had seen a manga called One Punch Man. She rolled her eyes but still answered Zuke's question.
"It's a monster called Crossbow S. That guy's disaster level is decent, but actually relies mainly on mind control abilities to fight. Their own combat power flaws are huge."
"Crossbow S..."
Zuke stroked his chin—he did have so impression of this monster.
Though this impression didn't co from their combat power, but from their appearance, and from certain special works he'd seen on certain websites.
To be continued…
