Starting with one punch, I'll stop being human.

"Besides Phoenix Man, they also recruited two wild Demon-level monsters, which can be considered a disguised boost to the Monster Association's strength. So... let's not summon that guy over such a trivial matter."

As she muttered to herself, Sykes' eyes narrowed, her dead fish-like gaze almost activating her superhuman mode.

—If we really summon him, who knows how that guy will use this as an excuse to cause trouble!

On the other side, in the deep corridor leading to the territory of Pochi.

Han Sen suddenly frowned, feeling as if he had inexplicably missed two E's.

(ー`'ー)

Behind him, a dozen or so wolf-level monsters he had casually named suddenly shivered, falling silent inexplicably in a chill.

They were originally the lowest-ranking henchmen of the Monster Association, following the violent law of the jungle, and were either fighting each other or on their way to fight each other.

Today, I was suddenly "personally chosen" by the Insect God. I thought it was a stroke of good fortune and that I would receive some reward, but instead, I was brought to this strangely gloomy and silent area.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and a faint, pungent odor, and a heavy, oppressive feeling emanated from the depths of the tunnel.

It was as if some ancient, terrifying being lurked there, suffocating them.

"M-Sir, where are we going?"

A grotesque figure with a lizard's head and covered in spiked scales finally couldn't withstand the terrifying atmosphere and mustered his courage to ask in a trembling voice.

Han Sen didn't turn his head, his voice echoing clearly in the tunnel: "I'm taking you to meet an old friend, and while I'm at it, I'll give it a better meal."

The lizard-like monster quickly nodded in agreement: "Oh, oh, oh... improve its diet... Huh?!"

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

As Han Sen finished speaking, the group of wolf-level monsters turned ashen-faced, filled with despair.

In the face of the Insect God, there is no way to escape; even if you want to, you can't get away.

A moment later, a dazzling white light suddenly shone in the darkness.

boom--! ! !

The deafening explosion drowned out a piercing scream, followed by a series of crunching sounds, like an ordinary person gnawing on a chicken carcass, echoing deep underground.

Inside the empty cave, Han Sen looked at Boqi, who had been awakened and was now feasting, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Just over three months ago, I was nothing more than a lowly wolf-level nobody, trembling in fear before this behemoth and living hand to mouth.

Just three months later, they were already able to stand on equal footing with the behemoth in front of them.

No, if we really go all out and punch Pochi so hard he has to sit down, it shouldn't be a big problem!

“…Huh?”

Pochi, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly stopped.

The enormous head swayed from side to side, and finally, six lantern-like, glowing eyes stared suspiciously at the tiny figure at its feet, a figure that instinctively made it feel uneasy.

"Ouch, ouch ouch ouch? (Chef, are you thinking about something bad?)"

Han Sen's face darkened as he was stared at by Boqi's six suspicious eyes.

Although it is originally a pitch-black insect-like monster, there is no visible change in its appearance.

—It was just a fleeting thought in my mind, but this dog's intuition is just too sharp, isn't it?

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized.

It's "beast instinct"!

Back then, it was precisely because of this SSR-level ability copied from Bochi that he was able to master Bochi language to level 10 without a teacher and successfully become the personal chef.

Now, with the infusion of massive amounts of Origin Points, this ability has already surpassed its limits and broken through to SSR+.

Its effect goes far beyond simply understanding animal language; it's more like a telepathic connection, establishing an invisible spiritual link between him and Bochi.

Han Sen's heart stirred, and his deep gaze pierced through the darkness, meeting Boqi's six lantern-like blood-red giant eyes precisely. A thought was silently transmitted to him.

—It's okay, Pochi-chan, you can eat slowly first.

—Later, let's go to our usual spot for a full-service spa treatment to help you relax.

Pochi, who was devouring the roasted wolf-level monster, suddenly froze, his huge head shaking from side to side in confusion, as if searching for the source of the sound.

After failing to find any suspicious targets, it quickly realized what was happening, bringing its enormous nose close to Han Sen and nuzzling him affectionately, seemingly displeased with his pretentious and gimmicky way of scaring him.

At the same time, indistinct cries of excitement emanated from its massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth: "Awooo! (Yes, yes! Spa! I love it!)"

Han Sen endured the terrifying force that was enough to send a heavy truck flying, yet his body remained completely still in place.

He reached out and patted Poch's wet nose, his gaze enigmatic.

Taming a large dog that roams freely in someone else's home is not easy; you need to play with it first.

(Sydkes: Achoo—!!)

Before long, the underground river roared with the sound of flowing water.

With a deafening roar, Pochi, like a frolicking husky, joyfully plunged headfirst into the wide river.

In an instant, towering waves tens of meters high surged up, the turbulent waters crashing against the cave walls, creating a deafening echo.

It tumbled and splashed around in the water, having a great time.

On the shore, Han Sen looked at the unsuspecting giant dog, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

He slowly stretched his muscles and bones, and his joints made a "crackling" sound like metal rubbing together.

Immediately afterwards, the dark figure began a silent and terrifying transformation in the swaying shadows!

Its originally three-meter-tall, slender body rapidly expanded and grew taller, its jet-black carapace becoming increasingly ferocious and heavy.

One after another, ferocious bone spurs burst out from his shoulder blades and back, exuding a terrifying aura like that of a prehistoric beast!

Chapter 96 Times have changed, Pochi-chan!

As Han Sen unleashed his true power for the first time, a terrifying demon god, even more imposing than Boqi who was frolicking in the water, stood on the banks of the dark river!

"Pochi, come here."

Hearing this call that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Pochi poked his huge head out of the water.

When it saw the familiar yet enormous figure on the shore, its six eyes simultaneously revealed bewilderment and confusion.

This smell... it's the chef's smell, that's for sure.

But... when did the cook get so big?

"Woof? (Who are you?)"

The simple-minded dog's brain was full of big question marks.

Upon hearing Boqi's question, Han Sen couldn't help but grin, his sharp white teeth gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light.

Times have changed, Pochi-chan!

"Come here you go!"

With a roar, the massive body suddenly leaned forward, its speed completely disproportionate to its size!

The next second, two enormous hands, as big as the sky, descended from the sky, like the Five Finger Mountain in mythology that suppresses giant beasts, and pressed down on Boqi's head, which was bigger than an off-road vehicle!

"Don't be nervous. We agreed it would be a spa, so let's start with the most basic head relaxation!"

Before he finished speaking, the two giant hands suddenly exerted force, their knuckles popping out, and began to frantically rub and knead Bochi's dog head!

The force was so great that it caused the air to crackle and explode with a sharp sound!

"Woohoo—!?"

A frantic, vigorous rubbing deformed Pochi's face, squeezing and elongating its six large eyes into ferocious squinty eyes. Saliva mixed with humiliation dripped uncontrollably from between its bared teeth, flowing into the underground river below.

As a dog, Pochi may not have the arrogance of a strongman, but being treated so roughly still made it instinctively start to fight back frantically.

Its massive body thrashed violently left and right in the water, creating raging waves as it tried to break free from the iron clamp above its head!

However, to the dog's disbelief, the two giant hands that were wreaking havoc on its head seemed to be growing on its body!

No matter how much it struggled or how terrifying the force it unleashed, it remained completely still!

"Awooo... Awooo!! (What's going on... Let me go!!)"

After struggling for a full half minute, the enormous wave nearly engulfing the entire cave, Pochi belatedly realized a cruel reality—

There's no escaping it... there's absolutely no way to escape it!

The power of the black giant is greater than mine!

After giving up the futile resistance, Poch was surprised to find that something wonderful had happened.

Although the opponent's movements were still extremely brutal, the terrifying force seemed to be controlled perfectly.

Every rub and every press landed precisely on the most comfortable and relaxing spots on its scalp.

A strange, tingling sensation shot from the scalp to the tailbone, causing all the muscles in the body to relax involuntarily.

What... what is this feeling?

The struggle gradually subsided, and Pochi's massive body went completely limp.

Its six eyes were so comfortable that they were narrowed into slits, and its thick hind legs began to thrash rhythmically in the water uncontrollably, creating ripples of joy.

A huge tongue drooped down from the corner of its mouth, and saliva flowed like a waterfall.

"Aww...Woof...Woof woof...! (This feels so good...I'm going to become...a useless dog...!)"

U(???????)U

The surging sound of the underground river gradually subsided, leaving only Boqi's satisfied and loud snoring and the "plop" sound of his hind legs unconsciously kicking the water.

After Han Sen's skillless yet forceful traditional Thai head massage, this dragon-level monster had completely given up thinking. It lay slumped in the water like a satisfied lump of mud, its eyes glazed over, its soul seemingly detached from its body.

Han Sen transformed back into his normal three-meter-tall form, looked at Boqi with all six eyes narrowed into slits, and clapped his hands in satisfaction as he saw Boqi looking like he'd been played with to the point of being dazed.

The best way to tame a wild beast is neither simply to feed it nor to intimidate it.

Instead, we need to make it understand who's in charge in a way it can comprehend.

Over the next week, Hansen demonstrated to Boqi what it meant to be a leader.

Freshly baked quirky snacks are an essential part of daily life, and they also provide extra playtime.

Of course, what was supposed to be play was seen by the other weirdos as more like a brutal one-sided beating.

Simply by unleashing his power, Hansen can transform into a giant monster over ten meters tall and engage in a primal struggle with Bochi.

His SSR+ ultimate ability, "Beast Body," allows him to easily withstand Pochi's charges and bites, and even use its energy spray as hot water for a bath.

Every time they played, Pochi would get beaten up until he was completely dazed, his dog face filled with confusion and awe.

It couldn't understand why this chef, who could suddenly grow bigger and smaller, was about the same size as itself when he grew up, yet he could completely overwhelm it in terms of strength, speed, and skill.

His own indestructible body was like dough under the opponent's fist, and could be molded however he wanted.

After several attempts, Pochi finally came to terms with reality.

In this family, it is no longer the eldest.

This guy who can cook, grow bigger, and fight better than me is the real boss.

Thus, the canine instincts ingrained deep within their genes were fully awakened.

Now, as long as Han Sen gives it a command, it will never dare to go west if it is told to go east, and it will never dare to lie down if it is told to sit. From time to time, it will make a coquettish "woof woof" sound in its throat.

The entire domestication process was a natural progression, much like tens of thousands of years ago when the first wolf wagged its tail and walked toward the human campfire.

Psykos, the mastermind behind the Monster Association, was completely unaware of everything that was happening right under her nose.

She never dreamed that the Insect God, who had been unusually quiet lately, had quietly turned one of her top lieutenants into his loyal hound in the most unassuming way.

Thinking of that woman deep underground, Han Sen calculated the gap between himself and the Monster King, a burning flame igniting deep in his eyes as he slowly clenched his fist.

"Forget about the dog, I want everything from the Monster Association!"

The afternoon sun was rather harsh, and the air was filled with a lazy and hot atmosphere.

The coffee shop on the street corner casts a large patch of shade under its huge parasols.

A young man dressed in simple casual clothes was sitting on an outdoor bench, his long, slender fingers holding the day's newspaper, looking relaxed.
