Chapter 197: Sykes's Commission, the Devouring Method Bestowed by God?
Because Link was about to leave, Sikes immediately stopped Link.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Link."
"Is there anything else?"
Link stopped and looked at Sikes curiously.
"If you have the opportunity, help collect the blood of some strong men." Sykes said straight to the point, "Of course I will give you a certain reward at this time. As long as you collect the blood of five S-class heroes, then I can The method of devouring is given to you by a god."
"Blood...the method of swallowing?"
After hearing Sikes' words, Link thought to himself.
He did know that Sykes' purpose for the blood was most likely to cultivate the monster king Orochi, but he really didn't know what the so-called devouring method given by the gods was.
Is it possible that this so-called method of devouring has something to do with the Sykes and the Orochi formed by devouring each other?
Perhaps seeing the confusion in Link's eyes, Sykes chuckled: "The so-called method of devouring is one of the routes we weirdos can take to reach the highest level."
"It's just that if you want to reach the highest level in this way, the danger is not the slightest. When you want to devour the other party, the other party also has the opportunity to devour you."
"Anyway, just do your best. Anyway, when you get the devouring method, it's up to you whether you use it or not."
"...the blood of an S-class hero?"
Link thought silently in his mind.
In fact, he now has the blood of an S-class hero, that is Super Alloy Black Light.
After all, Genos is also quite good at biological research on blood.
He originally collected the blood of Super Alloy Black Light with the intention of giving it to Genos for research.
Since now Sykes also needs this blood, and has also offered a high price, the devouring method given by the gods.
"A god?"
Link raised his eyebrows slightly.
That guy is a very weird existence in the world of One Punch Man.
It seems that it has never appeared seriously in people's sight, but it seems to be everywhere.
In addition to those who had contact with Sykes, there seemed to be traces of this guy behind the peak ghost-level vaccine man and the dragon-level wandering emperor.
At the same time, the power it can bestow is terrifying, allowing an ordinary person to be directly promoted to dragon level.
According to the foreshadowing of this situation, this so-called 'god' is even more powerful than the universe overlord Boros and the Starry Wolf.
In this case, it shouldn't be a bad thing for the guy who calls himself "god" to give something.
"I just don't know if there will be any pitfalls in this devouring method..."
Link thought to himself.
In the original work, the Wandering Emperor gained great power but still performed very poorly. The 'god' withdrew his power in anger.
The Wandering Emperor immediately turned into a pile of bones and died.
It can be seen from this that the 'gods' have absolute control over the power given by themselves, and there are even pitfalls.
There is no way of knowing whether there will be any pitfalls in the devouring method given by Sykes, the so-called god.
However, for Link, it would be better to have this devouring method in his hands and not use it than not having it at all.
Therefore, he finally nodded, and then immediately transformed into wings and flew into the air.
Looking at Link's leaving back, Sikes's expression gradually changed from a calm smile to a deep one.
"Is this Link the variable that the gods say?"
"As long as you cultivate him and let the gods take his body, then the gods can save the world..."
"Then hurry up and become stronger, Link!"
…
City Z, Evolution House Research Institute.
Just after Link came back from the Monster Association, Genos ran back with excitement on his face.
"Boss, you are back. I almost thought you were intercepted by the Heroes Association. This time your data is perfect, which shows that there is no problem with your training direction. I believe you will become stronger after practicing for a while. !”
"Okay, Genos, wait a minute, I have other things I want to tell you first..."
While Genos was chattering, Link stretched out his hand to interrupt the other person's speech.
Immediately afterwards, he told Jinos everything he had encountered in the Monster Association.
After listening to Link's words, Jinos frowned slightly.
"Weird cells can stably turn ordinary people into weird people, and there is also a method leading to the supreme phagocytosis. It sounds quite possible from a technical perspective."
"After all, being able to stably turn ordinary people into weirdos, and even allowing ordinary people to retain their original memories, is already very valuable!"
"What's more, according to what you said, the other party actually cultivated a peak dragon-level being."
"I'm not afraid of your laughter, Master Link. I don't think I can do this myself."
Jinos said slowly.
Although he also possesses considerable biotechnological power, he has also cultivated beings with dragon-level combat power such as Ashura.
But this is certainly far from the terrifying technology that can steadily turn ordinary people into monsters and cultivate peak dragon levels.
At the very least, Genos doesn't think he has the ability to develop peak dragon-level combat power.
"Then do you think there will be any pitfalls in this?"
Link continued to ask.
Hearing this, Jinos was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "From your description, that god is obviously not a good thing.
Moreover, judging from my research, there is no so-called omniscient god in the world, just a very powerful monster!
If there really is one, it would not be the god who gave the so-called Devouring Method.
After all, if he is really a god, why does he need his subordinates to do these things?
What is it that is not just a matter of snapping his fingers?
If I guess wrong, the other party must have some unknown purpose for letting you join the Monster Association, and it may even be disadvantageous to you! "
After listening to Genos's analysis, Link nodded.
Genos's analysis is no different from his analysis. The so-called god is indeed more like a powerful monster.
"It seems that while helping Sykes complete the task, I must also be careful of the Monster Association's trap... Otherwise, I deliberately revealed Saitama's affairs to them in advance. Trick them into attacking Saitama, thereby reducing the strength of the Monster Association. "
Link muttered to himself.
With his current strength, it is not an easy task to deal with the Monster Association.
The best way is to attract the Monster Association to provoke Saitama to die, and then he can reap the benefits and reduce the trouble that the Monster Association can cause to him.
In addition, he also needs to consider hunting those S-class heroes in exchange for Psykos's reward.
"It was just a while ago that I just defeated the current S-class hero Superalloy Darkshine of the Hero Association. Now the Hero Association must be in a state of emergency alert. "
"If I want to get the blood of S-class heroes by fighting, it must be very difficult not to mention other things!"
"Otherwise, pay money and see if you can buy some S-class hero blood. "
As for the collection of S-class hero blood, Link was not so reckless as to use fighting as a means of doing so.
Anyway, unlike the completely hostile relationship between the Monster Association and the Hero Association, Kinos and the Hero Association, in a sense, are mutually hostile but interdependent.
Before this, they had relatively frequent transactions.
The Hero Association needed Kinos to provide monsters to make money, and Kinos also needed the Hero Association to provide funds for their research.
So, after considering this, Link immediately asked Kinos to contact the guys in the Hero Association to see if he could get the blood of S-class heroes.
Hearing Link's request, Kinos nodded and immediately picked up the phone to talk to the people in the Hero Association.
Five minutes later, Kinos quickly walked out of the room.
"What did the people in the Hero Association say?"
Link asked curiously.
Even he himself was not very clear whether this transaction was successful.
After all, this was a transaction involving S-class heroes, and the association should be more cautious.
"They agreed. "
Ginos said to Link, and then his expression became a little strange.
"But this time the Hero Association doesn't want money, but adds a prerequisite to us. They hope that we can make a clone of Danzo, and then hand it over to the people of the Hero Association to defeat."
"Make a clone of Danzo, and then hand it over to the people of the Hero Association to defeat?"
Link's expression also became strange when he heard this.
Good guy, this hanged man from the Hero Association turned out to be so smart!
He can actually come up with such a method!
Let Genos make a clone that looks exactly like Danzo, and then hand it over to the association to defeat.
In this way, wouldn't the association be able to minimize the impact of his previous hunting of Superalloy Black Light?
"But this doesn't make sense! Even if we hand over a clone Danzo to them, aren't they afraid that the real Danzo will continue to attack it later? "
Link asked with some doubts.
"Maybe they have other ways to deal with the real Danzo, it may be siege, or it may be other methods. "
Ginos shook his head.
Although he has cooperated with the Hero Association, it is impossible for him to know all the actions of the Hero Association.
"Forget it, since they want it, just trade with them directly." Link said calmly.
Anyway, Link doesn't care about the reputation of his pseudonym Danzo.
The main reason why he used this pseudonym was that he was afraid that Saitama would cause trouble for him, so it was safer to directly make up a non-existent pseudonym.
Now, just using the reputation of a pseudonym, he can directly complete the collection of the required S-level hero blood.
Then Link naturally couldn't refuse, and directly asked Genos to set off as soon as possible to complete the transaction with the Hero Association!
