Great, we're doomed now!

"I...I understand...Um...thank you."

Fubuki took a small step back, creating some distance between herself and Ye Shou, but the man's body heat and scent still seemed to linger on her clothes, and she could still feel a slight sensation on her chest, as if she could feel his firm muscles and arms...

"Did you just bump into him...?"

"What did you say?"

"No!"

Fubuki composed herself, her smile returning to her face as she quickly regained her composure.

It was just an accident, why are you so excited? Didn't you see that the other person didn't care at all?

Show some spirit! You're [Hell's Blizzard], don't let people think you're like a little girl!

"Cough cough... That makes sense. Looks like I need to exercise more too."

Fubuki changed the subject: "My sister's superpowers are very strong, but her figure is... somewhat thin, and you can't see any muscles at all. But I know that's just an appearance. Many people are deceived by their eyes. In fact, her physical strength is quite good—although it can't compare to the S-class heroes who specialize in hand-to-hand combat."

"This is what they mean by 'you can't judge a book by its cover,'" Ye Shou casually chimed in. "If you're not used to it yet, just use your mental power to support your body. Looks like there's still a long way to go."

"Alright... Lord Ye Shou, to be honest, how can I thank you?"

Although you said the [Fubuki Group] is useful, I don't think it can really help you—the Hero Association would be more than happy to handle things appropriately for you.

Their resources, manpower, and professionalism far surpass those of the Blizzard Group, and..."

Moreover, if Ye Shou were willing, with his special skill of stimulating people's potential, wouldn't he have as many subordinates as he wanted?

Given time, his number of followers will surely surpass that of Atomic Samurai and Tanktop Master!

So Fubuki doesn't quite understand why Ye Shou would choose to elevate Fubuki's group when there are better options available.

[Fate Coins +3 (Fubuki)]

Oh?

Ye Shou's expression immediately softened, as if a filter had been applied to him. His pleasant mood made his whole aura as comfortable as a spring breeze, and Chuixue's heart inexplicably raced just by looking at him.

"There's no particular reason, let's just say it's fate. I just happened to run into you when I arrived."

"Just arrived?"

Fubuki paused for a moment, then immediately caught the key words:

Huh? Was it for me?

-

warn!warn!

The red warning lights in the monitoring room were still flashing wildly, and cold mechanical voices rose and fell as the clones broadcasted the battle situation in sync.

"In the west passage, the experimental subject 'Steel Armored Lizard' has been defeated."

"In the corridor, the 'three-headed snake' has lost vital signs."

"Main road, mechanical tiger face... confirmed to be annihilated."

Dr. Genos slumped in front of the control panel, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

On the screen, Ye Shou and Fubuki's figures advanced steadily, their steps as leisurely as if they were strolling in their own garden. What made him most desperate was that Ye Shou was clearly deliberately slowing down, always leaving openings for Fubuki to make her move when they encountered slightly stronger monsters.

He could have easily defeated her in one move, but he deliberately created opportunities for Fubuki to unleash her power, as if he was patiently feeding her experience and nurturing this newly enhanced superpowered individual.

—What exactly did they give you to make you work so hard?

"Damn it... This isn't a fight, it's a joke!" Genus trembled with rage, his eyes behind his glasses bloodshot.

The House of Evolution, which he had painstakingly built, was completely destroyed, and most of his experimental subjects were killed or injured. Meanwhile, the other side seemed to be conducting a simulation training exercise. This absolute crushing of strength made his decades of research seem like a joke.

The clone continued broadcasting: "The target has advanced to the thirteenth underground level, and is only two checkpoints away from the core training ground."

Genos took a deep breath, his face showing a resolute determination.

He abruptly stood up, pushed aside the clones beside him, and strode towards the deepest part of the House of Evolution—where a trump card he was unwilling to use was hidden.

A heavy alloy door stood at the end of the passage, covered with a dense array of locks. Even when the system was offline, the superalloy mechanical lock with its independent circuitry remained firmly locked, demonstrating just how dangerous the person imprisoned inside was.

Genos pressed the emergency button on the wall, and with the screeching sound of gears turning, the alloy door slowly slid open to both sides, and a cold wind mixed with the smell of fish and decay rushed in.

In the dark cell, a hideous beetle head slowly emerged, its single horn almost touching Genus's face—

Its shell is dark brown, smooth and sturdy, but in the center of the beetle's head is a human face with large nostrils, thick lips, and a wide grin that reveals sharp teeth, looking down at Genus with a mocking gaze.

"Hmph, so you finally remembered me?"

The monster's voice was hoarse and grating, like the scraping of metal: "I sensed the commotion outside a long time ago. Your useless experimental subjects were indeed no match for you."

It slowly moved its body, revealing its armored insect legs. Each step it took on the ground made a dull thud, and its carapace reflected a faint light, exuding an indestructible texture.

—Overall, he has the feel of a "beetle man," but he is more primitive and savage than the Kamen Riders. He is also nearly five meters tall and has a demonic sense of oppression.

Genos clenched his fists, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, barely suppressing his anger: "There are foreign invaders now, and we need you to deal with them."

"Solve it?" The beetle scoffed, while the human's jaw dropped even wider. "Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are? My creator? Don't make me laugh!"

Its compound eyes flashed red, and its tone was full of disdain: "You're nothing but a piece of trash who can't even control what he created, yet you dare to talk to me like that? I think you don't want your head anymore."

"!"

Genos was so angry that he trembled all over, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He knew, of course, how terrifying this beetle was—it was the most failed yet most powerful product of the experiment, possessing dragon-level combat power, but completely devoid of rationality, acting purely on instinct, irritable and unrestrained.

Many clones had died at its hands before, simply because it was annoyed. It would tear them apart in a rage, without any reason, only pure destructive desire.

However, Genus was not afraid of dying, so he did not show any fear in front of the rhinoceros beetle.

Because he didn't know whether he was a clone or the original.

Just like that guy next door who's suffering from pain, delving too deeply into this field can lead to chaos...

So many years have passed that he can no longer determine his own identity. In any case, even if he dies, there will be other individuals who will inherit and study his identity, so he has nothing to fear.

“I’ll give you your freedom.” Genus gritted his teeth and said, word by word, “As long as you kill those two people, you can do whatever you want with all the test subjects in this building.”

The beetle tilted its head, and the human's features revealed a mocking expression: "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm quite easy to talk to, as long as they have fun playing with me... But, if you dare to lie to me!"

It stretched out its barbed insect legs and gently scraped across the ground, leaving deep scratches: "You will die a worse death than those other trash!"

Because of me—

Lord Asura Rhinoceros Beetle is invincible!

Chapter 318: What's Wrong with Being a Dog? (Fourth Update! Requesting Votes!)

"Hmm? It's here! Getting closer! This is—"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle suddenly raised its beetle head, its eyes flashing with a fierce red light. Its muscles bulged, its sharp teeth grinding together, and even its carapace trembled slightly.

"Haha! Found it! Finally found it!"

It roared excitedly, the sound making the cell walls tremble.

"Such a powerful aura! This is an opponent who can rival me!"

A restless, belligerent energy surged from its body, its thick, worm-like legs rubbing back and forth anxiously, digging deep furrows in the ground. Hard metal seemed no different from mud to it.

Beneath the armor, blood surged, and even the air seemed to distort from its aura. Standing to the side, Genus felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's unbridled and ferocious appearance sent a chill down his spine.

This is the uncontrolled power of a dragon-level being, which even its creator cannot restrain.

If only it had a little bit of rationality, then at least in terms of power it would meet its requirements for a perfect life... but this savage mental state simply cannot continue to evolve.

"I can't wait! I'm so excited I want to spread my wings! I'm about to stretch out my wings, I can't wait any longer!"

"Hey--"

Before Genus could give any orders, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle suddenly raised its hand and shoved him away like a fly.

The seemingly casual touch carried immense force. Kinos was struck as if by a high-speed train, his body slamming against the alloy wall with a "thud," his flesh and bones almost completely separated, turning into a thin pool, with blood slowly sliding down the wall...

"Get out of my way!" the rhinoceros beetle growled, then turned and charged away like a mad dog that had broken free of its reins—completely disregarding its creator.

The heavy insect legs pounded the ground with a loud thud, and it disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Fun toys! Fun rivals! Here I come!"

It ran and laughed wildly, its piercing shouts echoing through the passage, still sending shivers down your spine even from afar, revealing its barely suppressed excitement.

...The voice of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had just disappeared at the end of the passage when another Dr. Genus emerged from the shadows, pushed up his glasses, looked at the pile of rotten flesh on the wall, and his face was covered in sweat.

"Thank goodness I had the clone awaken it," he muttered to himself, his voice still tinged with fear. "Directly ordering this kind of monster around is definitely too dangerous."

However, for researchers, the danger is not unbearable; the key is whether they can get the rewards they deserve.

As long as it benefits his research, Genus will definitely do it, even if it means sacrificing his own life!

Just like now, even though he knew the battlefield would be dangerous, he didn't dare delay and quickly walked to the corner in order to collect first-hand combat data. A silver powered device popped out from a hidden compartment.

Dr. Genus quickly donned his gear, the thrusters on his back blasting out pale blue jets of air as he accelerated to give chase. Intelligent data streams flickered in his glasses, and his eyes gleamed with a wild intensity—

The duel between the Divine Knight and the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle will surely create the most precious battle record!

A perfect life form should be "powerful," and these two can certainly exemplify that word!

boom!boom!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's every step was as heavy as thunder, twisting and deforming the passage floor made of super-hard alloy, and leaving scratches around it like flying knives with broken metal fragments.

Wherever it passed, the passage was left in ruins, like a meadow ravaged by a massive herd of beasts. The walls were covered with dented footprints and scratches, making it hard to imagine that such a scene was caused by just one creature "going out".

"Huh? What's that?"

"Oh no, it's Ashu—"

"It's in the way!!!"

A few strange creatures who had managed to escape ran into it. The moment they saw the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, their pupils shrank, and they were so terrified that they tried to make way for it before they could even beg for mercy.

But the rhinoceros beetle is faster than them!

Compared to this beast, the movements of these strange people seemed to be slowed down. They were knocked away before they could do anything—those with weaker bodies were directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Why are there so many?"
