Great, we're doomed now!

“That won’t do, I’m not a philanthropist.”

Ye Shou shook his head: "The snowstorm is an employee perk, you've never given me any gold coins."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Chapter 339: My Elder Sister is Full of Majesty

Something's not right! Something's nine out of ten wrong!

Why did a man suddenly appear next to Fubuki? And can superpowers be improved so easily?

Tatsumaki knew her sister well. Although they were related by blood, their talents were vastly different. Fubuki was not weak to begin with, but she was only "not weak". Now, her output power was several times that of before, and she could fight against Demon-level monsters on a fair and square basis.

The difference between them is not small!

In the end what happened?

Ye Shou claimed that he only patted Fubuki's head and that her strength improved by leaps and bounds—Tornado didn't believe such nonsense at all!

She knew that evil forces existed in this world that coveted superpowers, and that they did indeed possess drugs or technology that could temporarily enhance mental strength. Although Fubuki appeared perfectly normal, it was hard to rule out the possibility that she had been affected by some more subtle method.

Tornado, who is overprotective of her younger sister, cannot ignore this and is determined to find out the truth.

Fortunately, she is an absolute powerhouse who transcends all evil, so she is not afraid of any underhanded tricks. No matter who tries to harm her sister, she will throw them into the sky without hesitation!

However, Ye Shou didn't respond at all, which greatly disappointed her.

"Do you want money? Any amount is fine with me. Who do you think I am?"

Tornado is the Hero Association's top fighter. Not to mention the prize money she's accumulated over the years, the association will do everything in its power to meet her every request if she asks, so they are full of confidence.

"Money..." Ye Shou smiled subtly, "What I want is not the same as the money you understand."

"Why all the rambling? Could it be that you have some kind of secret to hide?"

Sensing that Ye Shou's words and actions were somewhat suspicious, Tornado emitted a green light and slowly floated to the same height as the man, coldly meeting his gaze.

"Now that you've already laid a hand on my sister, do you still think you can escape right under my nose?"

"Don't talk as if I did something wrong. I just did it on a whim, but your tone makes me very unhappy."

Listen carefully: when asking someone for help, lower your head and politely say 'thank you' and 'please,' understand?

Ye Shou crossed his arms, appearing unmoved.

Tornado's eyes widened slightly, and her expression visibly became more lively, like a Chihuahua that had been triggered.

"You want me to humble myself before you...it seems you really don't understand—"

"Are you going to use violence? You're definitely not like Fubuki." Ye Shou's smile vanished. "As her friend, I don't want to do anything that would hurt her."

"..."

Perhaps thinking of her sister, Tatsumaki's aura actually rose, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face: "Even if Fubuki hates me because of this, I don't care. She's too weak. There are many things that can hurt her. I have to nip this in the bud."

“It’s different from what I think. After all, you’re her sister, and beating up a subordinate’s family member isn’t a good reputation,” Ye Shou said calmly. “But since you’re so worried about Chuixue, don’t you want to know why she’s changed so much?”

"...Please, please."

Tornado's eyes twitched slightly, she gritted her teeth, and her smile was terrifying: "This matter... I'm leaving it to you."

"Okay~ lean your head closer~"

Seeing the green-haired girl's blushing face, her unwilling yet forced restraint, Ye Shou was overjoyed and decided to let bygones be bygones for her rudeness.

"Damn it... Remember this!"

Tornado pursed her lips, her brows furrowed slightly, and although she was unwilling, she still listened to Ye Shou's words.

Her delicate chin was slightly raised, as if she wanted to say something harsh, but then she awkwardly lowered it again—even though they had only known each other for a short time, she instinctively realized that she couldn't win against Ye Shou in a verbal battle.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally she slowly closed her eyes.

Using telekinesis, she slowly moved closer, her small feet rising a few centimeters off the ground like a ballerina's, but compared to that forced and painful posture, it exuded a naturalness and lightness.

The high slit of the skirt swayed gently, like an open cross-shaped flower crown—yet the defense was exceptionally tight.

As she approached Ye Shou, she tilted her head slightly, her green curly hair swaying with the movement, seemingly bouncy, instantly arousing curiosity. Reluctantly turning half her face away, revealing only her smooth, snow-white nape and delicately sculpted jawline, she exuded a touch of adorable arrogance despite being a powerful S-class hero.

But if someone dares to say such a thing, they will surely be punished by her, right?

If it were a tornado, throwing a person to cosmic velocity wouldn't be difficult at all.

"Hurry up!" Her voice carried a hint of impatience, as if she was trying her best to hide her unease, but her body obediently stopped in front of Ye Shou, waiting for the next move.

Although this voice is slightly hoarse and sharp, not as sweet as Chika's, it is surprisingly comfortable to listen to after a while. It's like gently rubbing your ear canal with sandpaper, making you feel itchy but wanting to keep listening.

Ye Shou chuckled, but didn't continue teasing Tornado—this was the limit. It was already difficult enough to make Tornado bow her head; if he provoked her any further, the two of them would really have to fight here!

He raised his hand, his fingertips touching the head of green curly hair. It felt soft and smooth, like the finest silk. Ye Shou couldn't help but subconsciously ruffle it, but to avoid suspicion, he closed his eyes the next second, his expression turning serious.

hum~

A faint silver light emanated from the man's body, and a blue phantom of a warrior of light flashed past him.

Sensing the strange energy surging within her, Tornado immediately prepared herself:

If Ye Shou tries anything funny, she will unleash her full power immediately to ensure he suffers a backlash!

When it comes to a battle of mental strength, Tornado is truly not afraid of anyone!

However, Ye Shou did not probe the tornado's body with his spiritual power. Instead, he condensed that strange energy, and a thin layer of light, like "qi," gradually appeared in his palm. It slowly seeped into the tornado's hair and spread along her scalp.

Tornado, who had been on guard, suddenly felt a jolt, as if a blinding lightning bolt had flashed through her mind—

Countless images flooded in like a tidal wave, moving so fast that it was impossible to react!

The city was destroyed by a meteorite, the streets were flooded, and strange creatures ravaged the ruins. Scenes of natural and man-made disasters flashed by, as if time had been fast-forwarded.

The scene then rewinds, the frequency of natural disasters decreases, and in their place is a childhood version of himself, effortlessly using his telekinesis to lift hundreds of kilograms of exercise equipment and play with it like a yo-yo, followed by a toddler taking his first steps...

Finally, the scene freezes in a warm darkness, where she can feel the soft embrace around her, peaceful and safe—the feeling of being nurtured by her mother.

Bang~!

A strange inspiration suddenly surged into my mind, as if connecting me to a very distant place and turning on some long-dormant switch, causing the psychic power within my body to surge uncontrollably!

...In reality, Tornado suddenly opened her closed eyes, her green pupils bleached white by energy, releasing a near-colorless, intense radiance. The telekinetic energy around her was no longer an invisible current, but solidified into a pale green mist, surrounding her like a tangible entity, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Click! Click! Click!

Suddenly, the earth cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns, and pebbles floated up with the fluctuations of telekinesis. Tornado's body slowly floated upward, getting higher and higher off the ground, her hair and skirt moving and fluttering without wind.

Ye Shou frowned slightly, watching the scene intently. His gaze swept over the tornado as if trying to find out the reason. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed—and then he gentlemanly looked away.

It's black.

This probably means that she lost her self-awareness, which is why she was negligent.

Tornado's face remained calm, even with a hint of bewilderment, as if she were in a sleepwalking state. Her gaze was unfocused, yet her petite body exuded a world-destroying power.

The fluctuations of telekinesis grew stronger and stronger, even causing the distant mountains to tremble slightly, as if something was stirring beneath them and about to burst forth from the ground at any moment.

"Is this her true power? If she goes all out, she could probably tear open the continental shelf."

This level of performance is second only to Bald Guy and Boros, and even the cosmic overlord isn't much stronger in terms of scale.

But the cosmic overlord is essentially a berserker who unleashes beam attacks; its strengths lie in high attack, high speed, and high regeneration, while its destructive range isn't its most boast-worthy feature. If they were to truly face off, even against the now-awakened Tornado, Ye Shou believes Boros would win.

After all, Boros has strong output, sustain, and regeneration. If he weren't physically no match for Saitama, he wouldn't have deliberately used that devastating AoE attack to try and force Saitama to use his full power (but ultimately he couldn't).

"I originally thought that at your level, your potential would have been almost fully developed, and the effects wouldn't be too noticeable."

Ye Shou looked at the tornado in the sky, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"...He awakened his superpowers while still a fetus, but his fragile body couldn't handle it, and his mother would also be in danger...so did he instinctively suppress his power?"

The burden was so great that it even affected physical development later on... This explains the huge differences between the two sisters.

boom!

Pale lightning exploded between heaven and earth, and beams of light twisted and flickered, slowly rotating around the tornado, indiscriminately destroying everything around them.

Tornado appeared indifferent, seemingly still not fully awake.

"The scale that has been suppressed for twenty or thirty years... If this continues, the body will not be able to support it."

Although Tornado is small in size, her stamina and strength are much higher than Fubuki's. After all, she is a max-level character. Even if she focuses on intelligence, her passive attributes can still crush a group of low-level characters.

Even so, the scene before my eyes was truly horrifying...

"There's no other way but to see this through to the end."

Ye Shou took a step forward—

boom!

A bolt of lightning swept across him, leaving a deep trench.

When he looked up again, Tornado had already lowered her head, her eyes staring blankly at him.

Defensive instinct? In this state, even a Dragon-level monster would be torn to shreds by her, right?

"Then let's give it a try!"

The blue phantom solidified on Ye Shou, and an elegantly sculpted warrior of light appeared on the earth.

slap~

With a light snap of his fingers, a semi-transparent psychic shield spread out, encompassing the ground within a radius of one kilometer, with him and Tornado at its core.

"I'm really looking forward to it...the so-called superpower showdown~"

-

Glug~ Glug~ Glug~

Tornado's consciousness was like falling into a bottomless abyss, enveloped in cold darkness, constantly sinking towards the edge of nothingness.

All I could hear was my own faint breathing; my consciousness grew increasingly blurred, as if I were about to fall into a deep sleep at any moment.

But just as she was about to lose control, a dazzling blue light suddenly pierced the darkness, and a warm touch enveloped her as if it were a tangible thing, dispelling the biting chill.

The light grew brighter and brighter, transforming into a large, broad hand that steadily lifted her from the deep sea.

...She looked up blankly and saw a face like a deity emerging in the center of the light. Its features were slightly different from those of a human, and its surface shimmered with a metallic sheen. Its eyes were full of pity and love, which instantly relaxed her tense nerves and made all her unease disappear.

"Well……"
