It was accompanied by a thunderous roar.
Large swaths of air were shattered.
The ground was breaking and collapsing in pieces.
The terrifying shockwave, like a hundred-foot-high wave, swept outwards in all directions!
Its attack range is astonishingly large.
There is no way to avoid it.
The Child Emperor and several other heroes were blown away.
When the dust settles.
The area appeared to have been struck by a meteorite, leaving a crater. Monster King Orochi stood atop the central protrusion.
"Is it okay?"
"Just this once."
Ron did not pursue the matter further.
Ever since.
The eleventh battle begins.
A strange figure, entirely black and exuding an ominous aura, appeared before everyone.
Bang's eyes widened.
"Hungry, hungry wolf?!"
52. Garou Joins the Battle
Bang continued, "You actually turned into this inhuman, ghostly creature for the sake of power."
Everyone present stared at this strange man with surprise and disbelief.
Garou glanced in Bang's direction and said casually, "Teacher, long time no see!"
Ron's gaze also shifted to the strange man. However, this wasn't a big deal for Ron; he was merely surprised that among these oddballs, there was actually one who could be considered a decent opponent. So, Ron glanced at him twice and then looked away.
Seeing this strange man, Tatsumaki, riding on her previous momentum, spoke first: "I'll go first. Garou, huh? Let me see just how hungry you are."
Tornado said sarcastically. The heroes below couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The hungry wolf looked at everyone standing there with a fierce and disdainful expression, waiting for its opponent.
The tornado slowly rose into the air, a pale green light flickering around her. At that moment, Bang stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said slowly, "I'll do it!"
Tornado turned her head, glanced at him, and said, "You old geezer, don't get beaten to death!"
After saying that, Bang rushed towards Garou and said, "Let's settle this here."
Then he shouted, "Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist!" Hungry Wolf also assumed the same stance, and Bang recognized his move at a glance.
“So you haven’t forgotten after all!” Bang said softly.
The hungry wolf chuckled and said, "How could I possibly forget what you taught me, my good master?"
After saying that, the war between the two of them officially began!
Ron was also drawn to their display, and he sat there with his legs crossed, looking like he was watching a show.
Bang and Garou were fighting using the same moves. For a while, it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.
As if he didn't want to waste any more time, Garou began to change his moves, no longer using "Water Flow Rock Smashing Fist," but slowly reverting to some of his own moves.
Soon, Garou clearly gained the upper hand, while Bang seemed to be struggling a little.
Garou showed no mercy; he specifically targeted Bang's weaknesses.
Ron could tell that Bang seemed to be struggling, almost as if he was doing it on purpose.
Ron, who hadn't even glanced at the fight scene at first, is now focusing his attention on it.
Hungry Wolf slid under Bang on his knees, then stood up and slapped Bang.
Bang was sent flying several meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground.
Seeing the situation was turning bad, Tornado took a few steps forward. She was prepared to rush in if Bang couldn't win.
Ron saw Tornado eager to try something and decided not to interfere, choosing instead to sit back and watch them.
After a fierce fight, Bang was exhausted, and Garou showed no mercy by throwing him away.
Tornado couldn't bear to watch any longer and flew over to catch Bang. Her eyes sharpened as she looked at Garou.
Then, the tornado slowly rose, and a faint green light appeared beside it. She was preparing to exchange blows with this hungry wolf.
Ron usually turned a blind eye to the Hero Association's actions, but suddenly someone from the monsters' side shouted:
"This is against the rules, don't bully us."
The members of the "Weird Guys Alliance" suddenly appeared to be benevolent rule-makers, sparking a flurry of discussion.
As the one who set the rules, Ron still needs to step in and uphold them.
"Ahem, the Monster Alliance wins this round!" Ron stood up and announced it himself.
Upon hearing this, the wolf's smile grew even more contemptuous. He raised his hand, pointed at the tornado that had stopped, and said, "You, come up here."
Seeing Garou pointing at her, Tatsumaki's temper flared up instantly, and she gracefully stepped forward with an air of unstoppable power.
Ron didn't want the Hero Association to lose either, so he didn't say anything, which was considered as tacitly agreeing to let Tatsumaki go.
This time, Tatsumaki quickly exerted her power. With a beam of green light, a force flew straight towards Garou. Garou raised his hands and actually used his internal strength to block Tatsumaki's psychic power.
Now the two are locked in a battle of wills to see who is stronger. Tornado is in a bit more of a hurry, so she quickly starts to exert real force, sending Garou flying several meters away.
The hungry wolf seemed to be enraged, and he began to stare at Tatsumaki with a very unfriendly gaze.
What Tatsumaki didn't know was that Garou was slowly awakening. He hadn't used much of his strength to fight Tatsumaki, and while Tatsumaki was also very strong, she had indeed exerted her full power.
The hungry wolf seemed to be convulsing; he clutched his chest, looking somewhat uncomfortable, but this discomfort wasn't due to any injury.
He raised his head, his eyes glowing red. He was almost completely transformed into a monster.
Tornado, however, didn't seem to care. She hadn't realized that Garou was awakening, so she confidently walked towards him.
A flash of red light streaked across the sky. Before Tatsumaki could even recover from her smugness, she was struck down by Garou's Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Tatsumaki exclaimed in surprise, "His speed is incredible!"
Even though the tornado was already in such a state, it still pressed on relentlessly, pushing people to the brink of death.
Fubuki shouted anxiously from below, "Watch out!"
Ron had already been disturbed by the commotion. Just as Garou was about to investigate Tatsumaki, Ron teleported to Garou's side with lightning speed and pulled Tatsumaki away.
Seeing this, Fubuki quickly went forward to help her sister and led her to the side. At this time, Tatsumaki was already seriously injured, and she did not expect that her carelessness would lead to such a result.
Everyone was also incredulous, because judging from Tornado's power, she was still extremely strong, and ordinary people would definitely not be her match.
At this moment, the hungry wolf had lost his mind. He didn't care who was in front of him and pounced on him directly.
Ron dodged the wolf's attack perfectly with a flash, and without even breaking a sweat, he flashed behind the wolf.
"Hungry Wolf, you shouldn't be so ruthless. Otherwise, I would be even more ruthless than you," Ron said casually, completely disregarding him.
But Hungry Wolf no longer cared who was in front of him; all he wanted now was to get rid of everyone in front of him.
Unfortunately, the person in front of him was someone he couldn't handle at all.
Seeing the wolf's reaction, Ron knew that it was a sign of awakening. So, to avoid putting in too much effort, he decided to take advantage of the wolf's incomplete awakening and defeat it first.
Ron flashed behind the wolf and delivered a straight punch that sent turmoil churning inside the wolf's body.
53, Mysterious Awakening
The hungry wolf struggled to his feet, his eyes red as he stared at Ron. "Pah!" The hungry wolf spat out a mouthful of blood.
The hungry wolf sneered and said, "Ha, so this is all the hero's character is like? All he can do is use such petty tricks? How utterly laughable!"
Ron's actions briefly made the situation difficult to control. The monster alliance below were saying that Ron had broken the rules.
However, Ron was neither afraid nor flustered in the face of this situation. Instead, he slowly looked at everyone and said in a domineering tone, "I know many of you here are not convinced, but here, I am in charge. Since ancient times, the winner is king and the loser is a bandit."
As he was speaking, the hungry wolf behind him stood up and attacked him.
Although Ron was facing away from the wolf, he had an extremely keen sense of his surroundings and had already noticed the wolf behind him.
Hungry Wolf threw a punch, but Ron easily turned and caught it. Ron, using the same contemptuous tone Hungry Wolf had used before, said, "You're no match for me!"
Although what Ron said was true, Garou refused to admit that he was no good, so he became even more excited.
The hungry wolf secretly exerted his strength and shook off Ron. Even though he used a lot of force, he only managed to make Ron take two small steps back.
Bang, Blizzard, Tornado, and the others were all stunned. Garou had used so much force, yet he had only managed to make Ron stagger twice.
The hungry wolf clenched his fists and attacked Ron with frenzied speed. Ron didn't fight back, but simply made defensive movements, dodging the attacks repeatedly.
They were at a stalemate.
The hungry wolf seemed tireless, relentlessly attacking Ron. But Ron was too lazy to play along. So, Ron said in a low voice, just loud enough for him to hear, "I don't have time to play with you for that long, let's end this here!"
