Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

Their clan even has a near-god-level dragon-level being—the Great Monster Centipede Immortal.

"You look down on me and refuse to talk to me, then let's just start fighting!" Water Dragon, inside the Mech God, had a thought, and the crystal on his forehead shot out a red beam of light once again.

The massive energy beam struck Elder Centipede's shell, shattering a large chunk and revealing the purple muscles and blood beneath.

But compared to its enormous size, this injury is only equivalent to a normal person's finger getting a minor cut.

"Not bad attack power, but it's far from enough to kill me."

The centipede elder's body trembled, and its carapace instantly regenerated, the new carapace even more lustrous.

"Super-fast regeneration, indeed a troublesome enemy." Water Dragon frowned, then relaxed: "Then I'll bomb you to smithereens!"

Click click click!

The shoulders, arms, body, and thighs of the Guardian Machine God were adorned with countless cannon barrels, each one emitting terrifying destructive rays.

"You won't succeed!"

Elder Centipede was certain that the Machine God's beam could break through its defenses, so how could it allow all of the Machine God's attacks to hit it?

It can withstand one energy shot with only minor injuries, but if it were to withstand all of them, it would be severely injured.

Elder Centipede roared and moved at high speed, like a high-speed train crashing into the Guardian God of the Nation.

The 500-meter-long, 10,000-ton-heavy Guardian Machine God stumbled slightly and almost lost its balance from the impact.

Elder Centipede seized the opportunity to coil around the body of the Guardian Mech God, and sneered, "As long as I keep you entangled, let's see how you attack."

"Innocent!"

The water dragon sneered and launched a fierce attack, with hundreds of energy beams exploding around him.

A super energy ball spread out in place, and the rising explosion cloud rushed directly into the stratosphere.

Elder Centipede was like an earthworm wrapped around explosives; in the instant of the explosion, its massive body was blasted into several pieces.

Its upper body, which had flown away, looked at the equally tattered Guardian Mech and laughed loudly: "Idiot, you really dare to attack? Your iron shell is finished. I'll tear this thing apart and drag you out."

Elder Centipede expended energy to regenerate instantly, and the severed limbs grew back intact, only this time the new carapace was no longer shiny and glossy.

It wrapped itself around the body of the Guardian Machine God again, and with a strong pull, it squeezed the steel body of the Machine God, making a teeth-grinding sound.

The machine god's arm was bound by Elder Centipede, and it couldn't even pull Elder Centipede away. Only if the Guardian Machine God launched another concentrated attack could Elder Centipede be blown away.

However, doing so would severely damage the Guardian Machine God, causing significant harm to its body.

But Shuilong never cared about the damage to the Guardian God of the Nation. It was a disposable item; if it was damaged, he would just take out another one.

This time, the Guardian Machine God not only revealed hundreds of cannon ports all over its body, but even the supreme energy cannon on its chest began to charge up.

Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations, Elder Centipede was terrified.

At that moment, he was like a centipede wrapped around a super-powerful nuclear bomb. He screamed frantically, "Idiot, stop! Do you really want to die with me?"

The previous explosion had already blasted Elder Centipede into several pieces, and the current energy fluctuations were even more terrifying, a hundred times stronger than before, causing Elder Centipede to panic.

Shuilong did not answer. Inside the cockpit of the Guardian Mech God, he materialized another mech, the Spiral Drill Mech from the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann series.

This mecha, only a few meters in size, has unimaginable defensive capabilities. Even if the Guardian Mecha God explodes while Shuilong is inside, he will remain safe and sound.

Seeing the water dragon's frantic self-destruction, Elder Centipede finally became afraid.

No matter how strong or fierce it is, it is afraid of those who are reckless. It quickly burrowed into the ground, trying to avoid the massive explosion.

But just as it touched the ground, the Supreme Energy Cannon of the Guardian Machine God and countless Emperor Fire Lines detonated together.

A terrifying burst of energy erupted at close range, and a super energy sphere with a diameter of more than ten kilometers covered the entire wasteland.

After the dazzling white light, the global live broadcast was interrupted. The man in the baseball cap who had been secretly filming the battle died on the spot, and the outcome of the Water Dragon's battle became unknown.

Afterwards, the Hero Association's helicopters arrived at the scene and found only a super crater in the wasteland, with a diameter of one kilometer and a depth of three hundred meters.

Scattered around the giant pit were broken metal fragments of the Guardian Machine God and the centipede elder's charred flesh reduced to the size of a palm.

Chapter 232 The Heroic Name of the Water Dragon

What was originally just an ordinary hero duel, initiated by the Water Dragon who was dissatisfied with his rating, had an astonishing ending.

Sweet Mask's transformation into a monster, Suiryu's super robot, and the sudden appearance of a large number of monsters—all these are shrouded in mystery. Driven by various forces, the entire internet is outraged and demanding an explanation from the association.

The association urgently sought out KING, hoping to obtain inside information from him, and unexpectedly discovered the surviving water dragon at KING's residence.

The association was overjoyed and wanted to have Shuilong give a speech, shifting all the blame onto the deceased Sweet Mask.

They prepared a story, claiming that the entire competition was specially designed to eliminate the threat posed by the eccentric Sweet Mask.

The association had known for a long time that Sweet Mask was a monster, but it was difficult to take action against him. They could only rely on the help of rookie heroes to challenge Sweet Mask.

They also claimed that their people were the ones filming the scene and broadcasting it live online.

The reason they said they wouldn't stream was to lull Sweet Mask into a false sense of security, allowing him to expose his monster identity without restraint.

The secret live stream was intended to expose Sweetheart's true identity to the world and silence public opinion.

It must be said that if Shuilong really stood up to clarify according to the statement prepared by the association, the public opinion would at least be greatly reversed, and the association, which had previously performed muddleheadedly and incompetently, would be labeled as shrewd and calculating.

Shuilong didn't agree immediately. After the association leader left, he asked Luo Yan, "Master, what should I do about this?"

"Agree to the association's request."

Luo Yan directly told Shui Long the answer.

"Why should we help the Hero Association, such a muddle-headed organization, overcome its difficulties?"

After learning from Luo Yan that the group of strange people who arrived later were sent by the association, Shui Long developed a sense of rejection towards the association and was unwilling to help it.

"In this world where monster disasters occur frequently, the existence of heroes is necessary, and the Hero Association, which organizes heroes to carry out disaster relief, is also very necessary."

Luo Yan explained, "Even if you kick the Hero Association while it's down and undermine its foundation, a new Hero Association will emerge and take over everything from the old one."

As for the forces behind the new association, no one can say for sure what they are. If it is an even darker organization or force, then overthrowing the association would not only be a futile effort, but might even make you an accomplice to evil.

Conversely, we know Algni, who founded the association, very well. He's a wealthy man. If we can reduce his shareholding and force him to step down as the largest shareholder, turning the heroes from employees into shareholders with equity, and implementing a new hero rating system, then the association might be reborn.

"Master means to turn the association into an association of heroes, not an association of the rich, right?"

"Pretty much, but the heroes shouldn't own too many shares. They just need to have a certain amount of say and oversight. If the heroes control all the power in the association, it's not even as good as when the wealthy managed it."

Imagine having guys like Metal Knight and Tatsumaki running the association.

One is ambitious, the other is capricious; sooner or later they'll ruin the association.

“Then I will negotiate with the association now, demanding a portion of the shares in exchange for the opportunity to give a speech.”

"Sure, but there's no rush to rally other shareholders to remove Agni. You have a bigger problem right now!"

Shuilong asked in confusion, "What trouble could I possibly have?"

"I've been following your battle with Sweet Mask the whole time, and Sweet Mask is not dead."

"What? He was struck by my holy sword, his soul should have been cut open, and then there was such a huge explosion afterwards, how could he not have died?"

"Because 'God' saved him."

"God?" Water Dragon asked, puzzled. "Gods exist in the world? Shouldn't gods protect humans? Why would they save a monster?"

"It is said to be 'God,' but I am not really sure what it is. In short, this being who calls himself 'God' aims to destroy humanity and is by no means a protector of humanity. He saved Sweet Mask, and perhaps he will grant him great power so that he can continue to target you."

In the original work, the gods were always causing trouble. The Homeless Emperor was a low-level henchman created by the gods, the giant centipede immortal was a monster, and the evil ocean water was sent to the human world by the gods.

Even Tatsumaki was almost bewitched by the god, accepting his power and becoming his henchman.

谷殙

It's not surprising that Sweet Mask, this highly promising weirdo, was chosen by God to become a new henchman.

The appearance of the god was very strange. When the god bewitched Sweet Mask, Luo Yan's Heavenly Eye Suspension Technique could only detect the slightest clues.

The god seemed to exist in another world and never appeared in the real world, which made Luo Yan, who wanted to make a move, give up his attack.

In his observation, God must reside in a higher-dimensional space, and what appears in front of Sweet Mask is merely a projection.

Without finding the space where the god is hiding, it is impossible to truly defeat the god, so Luo Yan gave up making a move to avoid alerting the enemy.

Regarding the space where the gods hid, Luo Yan suddenly thought of the mysterious explosion in the original work.

The number one hero in this association made a brief appearance in the comics, when he was collecting black cubes that would allow him to talk to 'that guy'.

The guy in the explosion's mouth is definitely a god.

Saitama and Flashy Flash were about to touch the black cube underground when they heard the god's temptation.

The opponent of the explosion is God, and he may have already grasped God's whereabouts, known the space where God is located, and may even be preparing to fight God.

The evidence is that when Blast said goodbye to Tornado, he opened a passage, and there were several figures in the passage. Blast said they were all his comrades.

Blast's strength is enough to easily defeat Dragon-level monsters. Even if he is far inferior to Saitama, he is probably at the level of Boros and Garou.

A battle that even he couldn't resolve alone—who else could his opponent be but a god?

Thinking about this, Luo Yan felt even more that the world of One-Punch Man was unfathomable.

This world is filled with mysterious organizations, aliens, advanced technology, gods, and the greatest mystery, Saitama.

However, no matter how strong an individual is, they cannot be immune to their own skills unless they reach the level of an information setter.

Even in the face of God and Saitama, Luo Yan was not without power.

……

Shuilong accepted Luo Yan's suggestion and agreed to help the association resolve this public opinion incident in exchange for association shares.

With Shui Long's public statement, all the blame was thrown at Sweet Mask, and the association became the planner of the effort to expose Sweet Mask's true identity.

Some people accepted this explanation, but many others still had doubts.

However, the Hero Association subsequently carried out a series of internal reforms, claiming to revise the hero rating system, expel heroes with unethical behavior, reorganize the rights of heroes, and increase their voice and oversight within the association.

Through these changes, the association finally regained some investor confidence in the stock market and the trust of some key figures within the association.

Immediately after the incident, the association upgraded Shuilong's rating, placing him at the eighteenth S-class.

Genos remains ranked seventeenth, and Saitama's ranking also remains unchanged.
