American Comics: BOSS Invasion

#188 - Evolution of the Ant King

Qi Shan noticed Peter Parker and Harry Osborn's little actions, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

His main focus was on the battle between Meruem and Retsu Unohana.

The two had been entangled in battle for over an hour.

As expected of the first Kenpachi, known as Yachiru, Retsu Unohana's swordsmanship was unparalleled.

The Zanpakuto in her hand seemed to come alive; a casual swing would create a storm, shattering Meruem's telekinesis into fragments.

Meruem maintained his kingly demeanor throughout, his expression unchanged by the deaths of his three subordinates.

His fighting spirit soared, his eyes fixed on Retsu Unohana.

His fists moved freely, and waves of telekinetic power, like cannonballs, bombarded her, causing explosions in the air.

With such a commotion, it would be strange if the American government remained indifferent.

The initial losses from the first attack were insignificant to a major power.

The anti-air forces had assembled, and a massive amount of missiles were being fired into the sky as if they were free.

The United States was originally a military superpower, second only to the great bear in the north in terms of ammunition reserves.

They could afford to expend this amount of ammunition.

Such a display could probably shoot down one or two ordinary spaceships.

However, for two superhumans who could unleash immense power with a flick of their wrists, gunpowder weapons posed no real threat.

This was a blatant insult to the proud American soldiers.

Experts from the Department of Defense had begun to suggest using conceptual weapons.

However, the commander directly ignored such dreamlike proposals.

It was a joke; pulse cannons and electromagnetic railguns required days of preparation.

The energy consumption was enormous, and who would be responsible for the losses caused by any mistakes?

For example, if an electromagnetic railgun fired a shot that went into space, it would be fine, but if it entered near-Earth orbit and fell on the other side of the Earth, destroying a city in another country...

By then, the trouble with the two aliens would not be resolved, and they might even face the threat of war from another major power.

They needed more powerful weapons.

And only by specifically researching the opponent's weaknesses could they possibly win this battle.

But…

"Sir, a call from the World Security Council."

A technician hurried over and handed the communicator to the commander.

"At this time, do they have any good ideas?"

The commander frowned and put on the communicator.

"What, a weather controller? Thunderclouds? You actually have this kind of technology? 30 minutes? That's not enough at all; I need at least two hours to arrange a battle plan!…"

The commander took off the communicator, punched the table in the center, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn bureaucrats, they never listen to anyone finish speaking!"

The staff members next to him looked straight ahead, but they were all being careful.

With the situation unfavorable and the leader in a bad mood, they couldn't afford to offend him at this time.

The commander crossed his arms and pondered for a few seconds before shouting, "Ryan, connect me to the president's office and tell those advisors that I want to deploy the Sky Corps!"

"Sir, the Sky Corps is just a pilot unit, and the number of personnel will not exceed 300. Should we…"

"There's no time to hesitate! Everything will be revealed in 30 minutes!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate was silent for a moment, gave a firm salute, and turned to leave.

In the sky, a blade of light cleaved Meruem, and Retsu Unohana's killing intent soared.

While spinning back in retreat, Meruem's expression was calm, and his mind raced.

This woman is not simple!

An incredible swordsman!

Ten years? No! Probably hundreds of years of swordsmanship cultivation have integrated the sword in her hand with herself, making every move a killing strike.

This woman must have committed no small amount of slaughter!

Meruem stabilized himself, his aura surging, and he actually stepped directly into the sky.

Retsu Unohana chuckled, "Amazing! You've mastered the technique of stepping into the air just by watching. You must be a true martial arts genius!"

Meruem calmly said, "I have met a true martial arts genius! Compared to him, I can only be considered an inhuman being who relies on talent!"

"Oh? Then you had a battle with him?"

"I won, and he lost! But I also learned a lot from him!" Meruem's expression suddenly turned solemn, and the Nen within his body trembled violently.

It folded, compressed, and deformed continuously, like dough.

Gradually, new attributes appeared in the Nen.

That was…

Reishi!

Boom!

The Nen throughout his body erupted, his aura surged, and specks of Reishi, like fireflies, constantly gathered on his body.

"This is…"

Retsu Unohana's mind shook violently.

For thousands of years, she had never seen a creature capable of gathering Reishi with its physical body.

Even converting its own energy into spiritual pressure little by little right in front of her.

Could it be that the battle just now was…

As a master of swordsmanship, Retsu Unohana immediately thought of the battle just now.

It turned out that his purpose from the very beginning was to evolve!

Meruem waved his right hand, tearing apart the Nen on his body.

Specks of Reishi dotted the fragments of Nen.

Obviously, he had achieved his goal.

Meruem calmly looked at Retsu Unohana.

"I didn't make any major moves when I entered the new world, yet you still came to my door at the first moment.

Then there are only two explanations: First, you can monitor the entire world, and even the slightest disturbance will trigger your vigilance.

Second, you knew we were coming!"

Retsu Unohana held her sword, her expression calm, but her killing intent surged.

Lured by the previous fight, she couldn't suppress her desire to kill.

And this enemy in front of her was perfect!

Meruem ignored the provocation from the enemy and continued:

"But I prefer the second option because your personnel configuration is clearly aimed at the weaknesses of the Royal Guards.

So, the question is?"

Meruem narrowed his eyes and said, "Who exactly are you?"

"I'll tell you if you can beat me!"

Meruem neither agreed nor refused but said faintly, "Do you know what a Chimera Ant is?"
