Kabuto

The fighting in the forest became more intense, with loud explosions occurring on a regular basis before billowing black smoke for all to see. Although the combatants of the House of Evolution caused much consternation, Dr. Genus certainly looked down on professional heroes.

Slowly but steadily, the combatants fell one by one, while those who were afraid of death chose to return to headquarters, which proved to be a costly mistake because professional heroes led by some tough guys from class A were now following in their footsteps.

Dr. Genus, who could see everything that happened in the forest through his monitor, could only bite his fingers, his mind racing to find a solution to the problem he was facing, the noise made by his clones adding to his anxiety.

"What should we do?... I told you we should have released Kabuto from the beginning!"

"But, if we do that, the hero association will definitely send their S-class heroes."

"Doesn't matter... If Kabuto can keep them at bay while we all flee, we have a good chance of surviving."

"Shut up!" Dr Genus abruptly rose from his chair, and the room fell silent, but the expressions of fear and worry on their faces remained, "In the end, you are just my clones..."

*sigh

As if these clones were sharing thoughts, their eyes were drawn to Dr. Genus' departure at the same time, and they sighed at the same time, but what they talked about and thought about next was irrelevant because the final decision would be made by Dr. Genus himself, who was the real one.

"Actually, I didn't want to use this method, but after thinking about it, this could be a good opportunity to test my masterpiece."

Only the sound of Dr. Genus' footsteps could be heard along this quiet hallway, but the closer he got to his destination, the more nervous he became, and before he knew it, he was standing in front of a door that gave off an aura of terror. Dr. Genus could even see blood splattered on the door, but he knew it was just a hallucination.

"What am I afraid of? At worst, he just wants to kill me," he slowly put his hand against the wall before the door in front of him slid aside, revealing a pitch-black room inside. An unpleasant odor tried to greet him right away, but Dr Genus simply frowned and walked in.

"You again, haven't I killed you before? What do you want this time?"

"The one you killed was my clone," Dr Genus said, knowing that the creature he was speaking to wouldn't understand, but he was still hoping that this creature's intelligence would increase and it would try to think.

"Clones... what are they? Is that why you and your friend have the same face?" Because this creature has a long tongue full of mucus, something will splash out every time it opens its mouth. Not only does he have a bad personality, but he also has an ugly appearance.

"Kabuto, I'm sorry for locking you up all this time, you know I had no other choice-"

"Stop talking! I'll crush your body if you keep talking nonsense... hehehe... that's right, I'll kill everyone here because I'm bored..." The chain that bound Kabuto made an unsettling clatter as if the large, strong chain could snap at any moment.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to let me go? Don't irritate me!... now let me go!..."

"Weak humans like you are the same... you won't be able to match my strength and intelligence... hahahahahaha... so, remind me again, what do you want from me?"

Dr. Genus showed a sad face. Compared to being killed by Kabuto, he suffered more from seeing the flaws in the creatures he created. Over the years, he finally got closer to creating a superior species, and Kabuto was the first result.

'Humans can't match your strength, but in terms of intelligence, you're still far from superior,' that is one of Kabuto's weaknesses. He is currently nothing more than a slightly tame wild animal.

But the corners of Dr Genus' lips lifted, forming a smile, and the gloomy aura surrounding him faded as he reminded himself of his goal in establishing the House of Evolution.

"In the end, you are my creation that I am proud of-"

"Are you stupid? Stop talking nonsense and answer my question!" Kabuto interrupted once more, and this time, he could break the chains that bound his hands by pointing his index finger directly above Dr Genus' head.

"I need your strength, there are many people trying to break into this research place-"

"So you're basically asking me to kill them because you're incompetent, right?... I understand that, as weak creatures, your problems are unavoidable."

"Is this strange building their headquarters?" asked one of the professional heroes who had arrived at the entrance of a skyscraper-like building with eight floors and a mysterious metallic black color.

When no one responded, the Class A hero turned around, his furrowed brows indicating his irritation, especially when he noticed people in his group making scared faces. They hadn't recovered from the shock of seeing him slaughter these cornered monsters right at the entrance.

"Hmph! Useless scumbag-" Just as he was about to finish his curse, those people vanished, leaving only splatters of blood floating in the air. He was so shocked that he forgot to breathe, and his gaze remained fixed on the blood splatter, which eventually fell to the ground.

"Hahaha, I sent them all flying away at once... what an amazing sight," a large shadow of Kabuto stood above the pool of blood, a wide smile on his face as he looked at him. No one knew what he was thinking, but his intense, bloodthirsty aura terrified even A-class heroes.
