Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

Early morning, the sun rises.

bang bang bang~

"Hello, is anyone home?"

On the bed, Saitama, still half asleep, glanced at the silent alarm clock beside the bed, turned over, and returned to a baby-like sleep.

bang bang bang~

Is anyone home?

Carrying a large bag of vegetables and expensive Wagyu beef, Natsuki continued to knock on Saitama's door.

Not to mention that there are very few residents in this vast no-man's-land, even if this were a bustling city or the headquarters of the Hero Association, Saitama's exaggeratedly powerful and boundless life force would still stand out from the crowd.

Therefore, Xia Jie, who was hovering over Z City, quickly located Saitama's residence.

"May I ask who you are?"

The cyborg wearing an apron wiped his hands, turned the doorknob, and poked his head out.

With golden hair, golden eyes, and a black mechanical arm, he is none other than Genos, the S-class hero, cyborg, and legendary figure who lives in Saitama's house under the guise of being his disciple.

"Hello, my name is Xia Jie, a prophetic psychic. I brought you and Saitama a little gift."

"First and foremost, Genos. You're so obsessed with getting stronger because you want to find the mad cyborg and take revenge, right?"

"You mean!?"

Genos's eyes sharpened instantly upon understanding Xia Jie's implication.

"That's right, the murderer is Dr. Cuseno; he was just using you."

"Please don't joke like that, Dr. Kuseno would absolutely never..."

Genos emphasized the word "please" heavily, and his gaze towards Xia Jie turned unfriendly.

To Xia Jie, these words were like someone telling David of Night City—David, Lucy never liked you. She was just cooperating with the company to use your body for experiments with prosthetics, and she even planned to sell the military-grade ribs you carried on her back and go to the moon alone.

Who could stand listening to that?

Genos held his nerve.

Because, like Adam Hammer, he is a cyborg whose only remaining part is his brain, making him a true "talking steel plate".

"It's best not to make such definitive statements," Xia Jie interrupted.

"Your memories and your intelligence are all given to you by him. You have been living in an information cage that he has woven for you."

"I know you won't believe me, so I suggest you go and ask him yourself."

"Faced with you, who may already know the truth, I think he would probably disdain continuing the act."

Xia Jie stepped aside and watched Genos take off his stain-resistant apron and walk out from behind the door.

"Who are you?!"

Genos stepped closer to Xia Jie.

"I already told you my name is Xia Jie. I can predict the future and have seen your future."

"So what am I going to say next?"

"I'm just a prophet, not an omniscient being who knows everything."

Xia Jie sighed and mobilized a trace of her "power".

Since the atmosphere has gotten this far, it wouldn't hurt to show off a little.

"You didn't say anything more. You planned to catch me in silence and then seek help from Saitama and the Hero Association."

"What?" Genos was startled when his thoughts were read out. He quickly turned around, grabbed a chopstick from the kitchen, and threw it into the air outside the apartment.

"Which way will the thin end of the chopsticks point?" This is a test to see if Xia Jie is a mind reader or if she can truly predict the future.

"Saitama will catch it and point it this way."

Xia Jie pointed to a street sign a dozen meters to the right and behind Genos.

next moment.

"Genos, don't throw your chopsticks around. If you really want to throw something, throw your shoes instead."

Saitama, wearing blue and white striped pajamas, leaped from the doorway into the air and grabbed a chopstick, the thin end of which was pointing precisely at the road sign.

"...You really can predict the future."

Seeing that Xia Jie had proven her abilities, Genos's expression turned extremely ugly. Now, he had to seriously consider the veracity of the information Xia Jie had provided.

What if, what if it's true...

Genos clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together; he dared not, and did not want to, think about it any further.

If Xia Jie's words are true, then what about the almost familial respect for Dr. Kuseno that coexists with the flames of hatred in his heart?

Genos flashed and dashed off in a certain direction outside of Z City.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia Jie, let's talk about the gift later. I have to catch up with Genos now, anyway..."

Saitama's figure vanished in an instant, leaving only a drawn-out trailing sound:

"He can be considered half of my disciple."

"Huh?"

Sensing the rapidly receding life force, Xia Jie entered Saitama's house and put the vegetables and beef she had bought into the refrigerator.

Normally, a free meal delivered to Saitama would be a special treat, as he would even use it as payment for the battle.

I should have dealt with Saitama first before bringing this up. Since things have come to this, let's eat first... oh wait, let's go check out the Monster Association.

After putting the gifts away, Xia Jie turned and disappeared into the main sewers of Z City. Deep underground, the Monster Association's labyrinthine lair awaited his arrival.

"Evil Natural Water" is rated as not natural enough.

The transparent water with two eyeballs was completely shredded by Boros's hair.

"Elder Centipede commented that the shell's hardness is quite good."

The centipede-like face, as thick as a building, disappeared inch by inch under the endless cutting of black hair.

"Pochi, described as an unfriendly harpy."

Before the six-eyed black giant dog could even bark, it was smashed into a roadside block by a heavy punch imbued with black light.

"Kyoko Black commented that I don't like playing other people's glue."

Excuse me, Black Flash.

"The ugly president is described as having begun to take on a human form."

Still black flashing, still excuse me.

"Gums, Homeless Emperor, Meow Meow, Phoenix Man... The assessment is that they finally realized a powerful figure had intruded and knew to join forces to attack."

Xia Jie stood on the mountain of corpses piled up from the strange men, shook the blood off her hands, and walked deeper into the area.

"Monster King Orochi is described as having the appearance of a king, but lacking the strength of a king and not even being surnamed Wang."

Inside the central void of the Monster Association, a massive, non-human head, splitting into numerous snake heads, fell from mid-air. Its glowing pupils slowly dimmed, watching as Xia Jie walked step by step toward the giant eye behind him.

A few seconds later, Xia Jie stepped onto Thunder's massive belly, which was as spacious as a trampoline, and pondered for a moment.

"Big Eyes, indeed, the eyes are bright and piercing, described as an oversized psionic version of Sudatta."

Then there's the mastermind behind the Great Eye, a superhuman with prophetic abilities, Psykos.

Following the energy trail, Xia Jie found a hidden room, pushed open the door, ignored Sykes's pleading expression, and delivered a Black Flash Fist that knocked Sykes to her knees.

Thus, Sykes' elegant, graceful, and sweat-drenched female body was mercilessly trampled under Xia Jie's feet.

"Tsk tsk, that physique, he looks like a Murata clone."

"At least the Monster Association part is Murata's version, but hopefully Saitama's strength and mentality are closer to ONE's version."

Xia Jie kicked Psykos, who was nearly killed by Black Flash, away and strolled out of the Monster Association, returning to the ravaged surface of Z City.

From entering the sewers to breaking through the Monster Association and returning to the surface, it took him less than 10 minutes in total.

"Hey, Saitama's back~"

"Yo yo yo, isn't this the S-class hero Genos? He's gotten so weak in just a few minutes?"

Xia Jiechong, with his strong aura and the temperament of Saitama (who resembles a simple egg drawing), greeted the nearly completely destroyed Genos he was carrying.

As things unfolded, Genos, not wanting to trouble Saitama, didn't bring Saitama into the base and chose to confront Dr. Kuseno alone. Unsurprisingly, he was then severely damaged and left in a semi-wrecked state by Dr. Kuseno's robots.

Then Saitama rushed in and used his Thunder Stats to solve everything.

"..."

Half-grateful, half-annoying, Genos glared at Xia Jie.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling depressed because you realize you have no family?"

Xia Jie stepped forward and, amidst Saitama's puzzled expression, poked Genos's cracked cheek.

With the activation of "My Power", the mechanical body that was just smoking was instantly restored to its original state, becoming as clean and new as ever.

"Although you've lost the kind-hearted version of Kuseno that only exists in your imagination, you still have your Saitama teacher, and the omnipotent me~"

Xia Jie snapped her fingers.

boom! boom! boom!

Several figures, as if reborn from the ashes, rose from the ground where large amounts of white smoke were billowing.

"Look at you, Genos, I've given your whole family a hard time. Even Batman doesn't get this kind of treatment. You'd better say thank you!"

"Th...thank you?!"

Genos opened his mechanical eyes to their widest extent. His memories had been altered by Kuseno, and he wasn't sure if the people who suddenly appeared before him were his family. But the atmosphere had already reached this point, and at this moment, all he had to do was express his gratitude.
