Chapter 946: Night City and Saitama, Considered a Threat by the Divine Being
Chapter 946: Night City and Saitama, Considered a Threat by the Divine Being
Hungry Wolf's strong willpower was evident as he managed to escape death multiple times from the relentless pursuit of the Hero Association's heroes, even severely injured. He repeatedly defeated the professional heroes who blocked his path, showcasing his unwavering determination.
Even when Hungry Wolf was severely injured by Saitama, he still resisted the assimilation powers of Monster King Great Snake, who took advantage of his weakened state.
Night City relentlessly pursued them, but Hungry Wolf's strong willpower resisted the assimilation and consumption, forcing Monster King Great Snake to retreat and propose a temporary agreement.
Defeated by Saitama, Hungry Wolf was filled with resentment, longing for another battle. However, his severely injured body couldn't even stand up again.
Great Snake promised Hungry Wolf that if they merged, he could fully recover and regenerate his abilities within a short time, gaining even greater strength.
Hungry Wolf scoffed at the idea of acquiring power that wasn't his own, but he couldn't bear the thought of giving up just yet.
When Great Snake promised to help him deal with Night City and then separate their merged forms, Hungry Wolf eventually agreed.
Great Snake had intended to fully assimilate and consume Hungry Wolf's consciousness, as he sensed that Hungry Wolf had more potential than Sexes. If he could devour Hungry Wolf, he might become even stronger than when he transformed into Sexisnake.
Unfortunately, due to his previous severe injuries inflicted by Night City and Hungry Wolf's strong willpower, Great Snake couldn't assimilate him at that moment.
Hungry Wolf wanted to find Saitama for a rematch and continue his plan to hunt down other heroes. Meanwhile, Monster King Great Snake, facing Night City's relentless pursuit, had to do everything to ensure his survival.
With their needs aligning, the proud Hungry Wolf and the enraged Great Snake merged into the current Hungry Lang Great Snake.
"Damn it, don't you forget that if it weren't for my power, you'd still be lying on the ground, barely clinging to life!"
"I, Great Snake, am the king among monsters and the chosen sovereign of this world by the divine being!"
Hearing Hungry Wolf's words, Monster King Great Snake was infuriated. As the Monster King, when had he ever been treated with such disdain?
And if it weren't for his power, how could you, Hungry Wolf, stand up again? Now, you're talking big, clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Hmph, even if you're barely hanging on, you're still better off than a pathetic dog like you.
And you dare to talk about being the Monster King and the World Sovereign? If the divine being behind you is so powerful, why did they let you get beaten to a pulp and then ask me to merge with you to survive?"
Monster King Great Snake was left speechless by Hungry Wolf's retort, as he couldn't find a way to refute it.
"He's not wrong. To defeat that baldy, you have to take him out in one go. Otherwise, a stalemate will only make him stronger.
He's an anomaly, a being who broke through his limiter, and his very existence can disrupt the balance of this world.
Perhaps your current strength is on par with his, but as the battle drags on, he'll widen the gap between you."
Great Snake had intended to argue with Hungry Wolf, but suddenly, the transparent and blurry "Divine Being" appeared in his mind without warning, explaining the danger Saitama posed.
After receiving the Divine Being's guidance, Great Snake stopped bickering with Hungry Wolf and instead used their mental connection to speak, "You, with your expertise in human martial arts, may have impressive combat prowess, but your destructive power is lacking.
"I do possess the ability to defeat that baldy with a single decisive move, but it requires some preparation time."
In the realm of consciousness, the "Divine Being" mentioned by the Great Serpent has revealed to him the means to defeat Night City and their allies. Furthermore, the Great Serpent now understands why Saitama, despite being a human, possesses such formidable strength.
The so-called "Divine Being" has also explained why it is willing to lend its power to eliminate Night City and Saitama. The reason lies in the fact that Night City and Saitama pose a significant threat to the "Divine Being" and the entire world.
As for Saitama, it goes without saying. By breaking through his Limiter, he has surpassed the constraints that should bind all living beings.
To put it simply, while Saitama may appear human on the outside, his very essence of life can hardly be considered "human" anymore.
Humans require oxygen to breathe, they cannot fly, and so on. These limitations exist because Saitama believes himself to be a human, and thus, he cannot surpass them.
However, in reality, having broken his biological Limiter, if Saitama were to have such thoughts, he could easily live in a vacuum environment.
Breaking the Limiter within his body signifies that his life has acquired infinite possibilities. This limitless potential, even a true Divine Being, would find terrifying! The Divine Being, high above all, does not tolerate any being that threatens its existence in this world, even if it's a floundering entity.
As for Night City, the "Divine Being" has finally grasped the true nature of Night City through their battle with the Great Serpent. Although Night City's body is indeed from this world, the "Divine Being" senses the lingering presence of an Otherworld within Night City's soul!
Even for the "Divine Being," the Otherworld remains a mystery. Night City's soul strength, comparable to that of a Divine Being (Type-Moon's Third Law), and the traces of the Otherworld within Night City, equally intrigue and frighten the Divine Being.
The Divine Being is unaware of Night City's true origins, but it is evident that Night City's existence has also escaped its control.
Night City and Saitama, one a native who might replace the Divine Being, and the other an unknown entity causing unease, are both unstable factors in this world. To eliminate them, the Divine Being is willing to lend its power to the Hungry Wolf Great Serpent.
At this moment, the Hungry Wolf Great Serpent, due to its dual consciousness, effortlessly executes a one-mind-two-uses strategy. The Hungry Wolf consciousness engages in a struggle with Night City and Saitama, enduring beatings most of the time, but thanks to the Great Serpent's regenerative abilities, it won't be easily defeated.
Meanwhile, the Great Serpent's consciousness controls the numerous tentacles sprouting from its body, piercing the earth's surface, and delving deeper into the core of the planet!
With the guidance of the "Divine Being," the Great Serpent aims to absorb the power from the earth's core through its dragon tentacles and utilize it for its own purposes.
The original Monster King already possessed such power, but this time, with the assistance of the "Divine Being," its control becomes smoother, and the power obtained from the earth's core increases significantly.
The "Divine Being" itself and its relationship with Earth remain unclear, but based on the current situation, it is evident that there is a close connection between the two.
