Genos's core processor nearly crashed.
He stared in shock at the path he had taken, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.
My body... moved on its own?
—No, that's not right!
—This is…external manipulation?!
Who is it?!
"Relinquish control of your body, Genos."
Hansen's voice drifted gently from the hillside, clearly resonating in his auditory sensors through the electromagnetic field constructed by King.
"King is helping you. Watch carefully and learn well."
"Mr. King?!"
Genos was even more shocked upon hearing this.
He instinctively turned the view sensor toward the hillside, where he saw King standing steadily, his eyes flashing with a blinding white light.
With his hands hanging naturally at his sides, his fingers were unconsciously tapping at an extremely high frequency, as if he were controlling an invisible keyboard and joystick.
—Is this… Mr. King's instruction?!
He didn't choose language; instead, he took to the field himself and used my body to demonstrate real combat!
Genos instantly understood, and his heart was filled with an overwhelming mix of shock, shame, and ecstasy.
He was by nature a decisive and impulsive man, and immediately shut down all control over his body, completely relinquishing all authority.
"Please, Mr. King!"
In King's mind, a confirmation tone, like a game notification, rang out.
Having gained full control, King's lips curled into a confident smile—the kind he only showed after single-handedly conquering the hellish difficulty of the game.
To him, Genos is now a game character with excellent performance but some flaws.
"Then... let the game begin!"
Chapter 231 Counterattack
As if the game had officially begun, King's eyes instantly sharpened.
In his view, the entire battlefield seemed to have transformed into a giant game interface.
The Beetle Monster's health bar, attack patterns, skill cooldown times...
All the information, digitized by his superpowers, was clearly presented before him.
Genos's various body parameters, including remaining energy, range of motion of joints, and the charging, firing, and cooldown time of the "Incineration Cannon," are also clearly displayed.
"Chirp—! Die, die, die!!"
Enraged by its missed attack, the "Centennial Steel Armor Larva" unleashed a torrent of crisscrossing, cold light beams from its two forelimbs, slashing towards Genos like a storm.
However, under King's godlike skill, Genos's broken body seemed to transform into a top dancer teetering on the edge of a knife.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
King manipulated Genos's remaining two arms, using his alloy hands to precisely block each slash.
Every parry was perfectly timed, not only completely negating the damage but also causing a slight stun to the monster, disrupting its attack rhythm without it noticing!
There wasn't a single superfluous movement; every step was brimming with ultimate efficiency and beauty.
It was as if this was not a battle to the death, but a splendid performance to toy with the opponent!
—This is…my body?!
Genos experienced all of this firsthand, and the shock he felt was beyond words.
His combat AI was operating at full speed, trying to analyze and learn this incredible maneuver.
But he came to only one conclusion: Impossible!
This grasp of timing, this control of distance, this ability to push one's own capabilities to the limit while still ensuring zero errors...
This is no longer a battle, this is art!
So... my physical abilities can be utilized to such an extent!
In Genos's eyes, King's grasp of timing and control of distance had reached a level of divine skill!
Before the enemy knew it, they had fallen into the rhythm of death he controlled!
After blocking and dodging dozens of attacks, King finally launched a counterattack as the monster grew increasingly agitated.
"It's now!!"
King's eyes flashed, and his hands, hanging by his sides, unconsciously trembled at an extremely high speed, as if he were preparing a set of earth-shattering combos!
The controlled Genos spun rapidly on the ground, using centrifugal force to instantly aim his right arm's incineration cannon at the beetle monster's relatively weak abdomen.
The orange-red "Incineration Cannon" was further shaped and compressed by King's superpower, and slammed into the beetle monster's abdomen at almost zero distance!
"Machine gun punch!"
The aftershock of "Incineration Cannon" was perfectly covered by a dashing forward motion, and Genos's upper body rushed into the monster's arms like a cannonball!
His fists transformed into countless afterimages, each punch landing precisely on the same spot on his abdominal carapace!
"It's not over yet!"
King pressed his advantage, manipulating Genos's remaining hands to grab the edge of the beetle monster's wound at the moment of the final punch.
With the miniature thrusters on both arms operating at full power, Genos's upper body was torn apart by the high temperature and heavy punches, and he directly entered the monster's body!
"what?!"
This scene left Saitama, who was watching from afar, completely dumbfounded.
"This guy... he's really going too far!"
Han Sen glanced at him: "Then do you remember how many times you were killed by King with a sliver of health left, how many times you were outplayed and died?"
Saitama: "..."
"I'll get my revenge on this guy when we get back!"
Hearing Han Sen and the other man discussing something, King calmly gave the final order.
"Fortresses are always breached from within; that's common sense..."
"Energy overload...! Incineration Cannon at maximum power!"

Genos, who had entered the monster's body, instantly increased the power output of the energy core to its limit under King's control.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp—!!!"
The "Centennial Steel Armor Larva" let out a mournful cry of extreme pain, and its massive body trembled violently.
The increasingly glaring orange-red flames shone through the cracks in the shell, like a giant bomb about to explode.
"3, 2, 1..."
King calmly counted down, and a second before the explosion, he controlled Genos to push his hands outwards, blasting a hole in the monster's back and sending him flying out like a rocket!
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
Just as Genos broke free, a deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth!
The massive body of the Zerg monster was completely detonated from the inside, blasting into countless charred fragments and green liquid flying everywhere.
A terrifying shockwave spread outwards, lifting a layer off the ground!
Genos's battered upper body traced a perfect parabola through the air before landing steadily on the hillside with a "thud," less than half a meter from the barbecue grill.
Saitama and Han Sen were just about to applaud and congratulate this amazing comeback when suddenly...
As if they had just realized something, the two of them stiffly turned their heads to look at each other, their expressions changing simultaneously.
Besides rubble and dust, what filled the air was... countless pieces of flesh and carapace...
Oh no, the food exploded! ×2
Genos lay on the ground, his golden electronic eyes flickering, his core processor reviewing the battle that had just taken place, preparing to study it frame by frame as a textbook.
The roar of the "Emperor Engine" gradually subsided, and the white light in King's eyes slowly faded, turning him back into the ordinary, fierce-looking otaku.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and confidence gradually welled up in his eyes.
"Well, the difficulty of this BOSS is just so-so."
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that Han Sen and Saitama were both staring at him with an arrogant look, King suddenly felt a little guilty.
He quickly helped Genos up from the ground, a slightly shy smile appearing on his cold, fierce scarred face: "I have fulfilled my mission, Genos-kun."
Saitama looked at Genos, who was now only half a body, and then at the monster fragments flying everywhere, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
"I told you not to go too far..."
"Mr. King, thank you so much! Your guidance has benefited me greatly, and I will carefully study and learn the combat techniques you taught me!"
Despite losing his legs, Genos was in good spirits and immediately expressed his gratitude to King.
"Oh, you're welcome."
King waved his hand: "After all, you helped me pick out a lot of food for the hot pot last night."
Genos was taken aback. So that was the reason?!
Chapter 232 Fubuki's Worries
"Okay, stop lying down."
Han Sen walked over, raised his hand towards Genos, and activated "Universal Force Field".
Genos's leg parts, scattered throughout the battlefield, seemed to be instantly attracted by invisible magnetic threads and automatically assembled in mid-air.
Azure magnetic sparks flickered and danced at the broken joint, and the metal structure rapidly and precisely reassembled itself, fitting together perfectly and looking brand new.
In just a few seconds, Genos transformed back into the handsome cyborg with all four limbs intact.
Once he regained awareness of his legs, Xiao Jie sprang to his feet and stretched his limbs.
The neural sensor connection was seamless, the power system operated smoothly, and the performance was even improved compared to before.
"Thank you, Mr. Hansen!"
He bowed deeply to Han Sen again to express his gratitude, his heart filled with thanks.
"It's nothing." Han Sen waved his hand, but his gaze was already fixed on the distance.
Just then, the earth trembled violently once again.
Moreover, this tremor was more than ten times stronger than the one before!
It was as if a colossal beast, slumbering deep within the earth, was awakening!
Boom——! ! !
On the distant horizon, a massive, mountain-like figure slowly rises from the ground, with soil and rocks cascading down its body like a waterfall.
It was a giant beetle several times larger than the "Centennial Steel Armored Larva," its entire body covered with a shell that shone with a dark golden metallic luster. The shell was covered with ancient patterns eroded by time, resembling a weapon of war from a mythical era.
It has a long, menacing horn on its head, the tip of which gleams with a dangerous, cold light.
A pair of enormous, scarlet compound eyes, like two blood-red suns hanging on the earth, were filled with boundless rage and a murderous intent capable of freezing the soul.
A terrifying, suffocating pressure, like a tsunami, instantly enveloped the entire wilderness, making the air thick and heavy.
"I am the 'Eternal Steel-Armored Adult Insect'... Who... killed my child?!"
The sound it emitted was no longer a piercing shriek, but a powerful roar like ten thousand thunderclaps, so loud that it made people's eardrums ache and even their souls tremble.
"Dragon... Dragon-level monster!"
