American Comics: BOSS Invasion

“I descend upon the world as the Ant King, standing at the pinnacle of life from the moment of my birth.”

A gentle breeze stirred, carrying Meruem's soft voice.

“This is the greatest wish born from the collective instinct of all Chimera Ants. All Chimera Ants evolve solely for me.

Countless clans explored countless paths of evolution, taking billions of years. Through the selfless dedication of all Chimera Ants, they finally found the perfect direction for me. I am the ultimate masterpiece of the entire Chimera Ant race!”

Meruem stared at Retsu Unohana, saying softly, “Do not underestimate me, human! Before my powerful evolutionary abilities, your special powers are merely a small problem that can be solved with a little time!”

Retsu Unohana chuckled softly, “Ara, ara, you certainly dare to speak, Ant King!”

“This is an undeniable fact!”

“Perhaps, but there is one obvious error in your facts!”

“Oh?”

Meruem tilted his head slightly, and Retsu Unohana vanished from his sight in an instant.

“I am a Soul Reaper!”

The next moment, a sharp flash of blade light slashed down from behind.

Feeling the immense force transmitted through the blade, Hana-jie became even more excited. Her entire spiritual pressure erupted, covering the entire sky like a volcanic eruption.

The Ant King's tail danced in a blur, constantly colliding with Hana-jie's Zanpakuto.

The sound of energy explosions never ceased.

Throughout the battle, Meruem always had his back to Hana-jie. His eyes were calm, his arms were crossed, and he didn't even change his posture.

“It is useless. Whether you are a human or a Soul Reaper, you are just an ordinary individual. You are not a king, and you cannot possibly understand what a king bears.

As the King of the Chimera Ants, I bear the hopes of the entire ant race. This is the reason for my strength, and it is also the driving force behind my evolution.”

Speaking of this, Meruem slightly tilted his head, his right eye calmly watching Hana-jie, and said softly, “This is precisely the key to our victory.”

“Ha!”

Hana-jie stopped attacking and flashed back a hundred meters. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were full of arrogance and sarcasm.

“You certainly dare to speak! Since that is the case, I will let you witness the power of a Soul Reaper. I will let you know that no matter how much a living being evolves, it will never be a match for a Soul Reaper!”

Retsu Unohana's expression turned solemn, “Unleash everything!”

Spiritual pressure!

Spiritual pressure as viscous as blood flowed down from the Zanpakuto, one drop, two drops, three drops…

Boom!

The blood exploded suddenly, rushing in all directions like a waterfall of blood, turning the entire sky into a sea of blood almost instantly.

“What… is that?”

The people of New York looked up, trembling as they discovered that the sky had once again turned into a horrifying blood color.

Already on the verge of panic, fear instantly erupted.

“The end of the world! The end of the world is here!”

“The sea of blood descends! God, are the people of the world beyond salvation? Are you going to unleash the great flood again?”

The crowd, which had gradually calmed down, instantly became chaotic again.

Cries, screams, frantic roars, and crowds running amok.

Meruem was trapped in the sea of blood, like a lone boat in a stormy sea, barely able to protect himself even with all his strength.

His heart was filled with shock. What exactly was this? Why was it constantly devouring his power?

“The entertainment is over!”

Retsu Unohana pointed her sword downwards, saying indifferently, “Indeed, an amazing evolutionary ability. Evolving spiritual pressure from physical power is an unprecedented miracle. However, this is also the cause of your death.

Playing with spiritual pressure in front of a Soul Reaper is like a three-year-old child showing off their strength, both childish and laughable!”

Retsu Unohana drew a line of blood with one hand, stepped onto the sea of blood, and slashed down head-on.

While resisting the erosion of the sea of blood, Meruem launched punches with agility, his speed so fast that several clones seemed to suddenly appear.

Large masses of Nen energy smashed out, exploding in the sea of blood and stirring up monstrous waves.

The Ant King was indeed the pinnacle of Chimera Ant evolution. His martial prowess and evolutionary abilities were only part of it. Even more terrifying was his calm consciousness and his brain with the ability to learn quickly.

The two sides had only exchanged a few moves, but Meruem had already adapted and quickly found the flaws in Retsu Unohana's moves, delivering heavy blows.

This forced Retsu Unohana to constantly change her moves. Fortunately, with her name of Yachiru, she was not afraid of fighting for a day and a night.

The two sides fought quickly, both adopting a style of strong offense and weak defense, fighting with their lives on the line.

The two quickly sustained a body full of wounds.

After exchanging a blow, the two took the opportunity to separate.

Meruem lowered his eyes slightly, feeling the dense wounds on his body.

“Amazing swordsmanship. Standing at the pinnacle of biological evolution, coupled with the amplification of Nen energy, my defense is beyond doubt. Even under the attack of the strongest human martial artist, I have never been so embarrassed. Surrender! I will treat you with the highest courtesy and incorporate you into the Chimera Ant clan.

If you have any requests, it is not impossible to make them. Even letting go of a portion of humanity is not impossible!”

Meruem looked at Retsu Unohana calmly, persuading her.

“Oh? You speak with such confidence!” Retsu Unohana chuckled, “Is it because I am more injured than you?”

She took a punch from Meruem head-on, and a circular hole was blasted in her abdomen.

Flesh and blood flew, and the bleeding did not stop.

Blood dripped into the sea of blood, disappearing without a trace.

Meruem did not speak, but his expression spoke volumes.

Retsu Unohana gently stroked her Zanpakuto, and the sea of blood surged, with layers of ripples suddenly appearing at her feet.

At the same time, the large and small wounds on Retsu Unohana's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, even the damaged Soul Reaper uniform and even the outer haori became brand new.

The spiritual pressure consumed by the fierce battle also rose sharply.

In Meruem's shocked eyes, Retsu Unohana's condition returned to its peak!

“Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet!”

Hana-jie's emotions returned to peace, and she smiled, “I am Retsu Unohana, Captain of the Fourth Medical Division of the Gotei 13! Unfortunately! Complete healing is my ability. As long as I am in the sea of blood, then I will never die in the sea of blood! Any injuries are meaningless to me!”

“And you!”

Hana-jie pointed to Meruem and said softly, “You will melt in this sea of blood!”

“What!?”

A sharp pain came, and Meruem looked down in horror to find that his feet had already turned into blood, and blue blood dripped into the sea of blood, disappearing without a trace.

He instinctively wanted to escape, but his body was completely paralyzed at some point.

Nen energy erupted from his body, blasting huge waves in the sea of blood, but in the next instant, the Nen energy sent out was also dissolved by the sea of blood…

He could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed by the sea of blood, his legs, waist, abdomen, arms, and finally his head.

In the instant that consciousness dissipated, Meruem was unusually calm, and a sigh echoed in his heart.

Soul Reaper? Truly an amazing species…
