Chapter 614: Kamaitachi

Chapter 614: Kamaitachi

When there's an absolute level gap between Superhumans, sheer numbers no longer matter.

Neither Li Guoqiang nor Meng Shucheng, leaders of two major factions, had expected that their bodies—hardened through countless battles—would be split in half by a single casual slash from Daiku Kai Enjin.

It wasn’t even right to call it a “defense failure”—

They didn’t have time to react at all before they were cleaved at the waist.

“Among all martial arts, speed breaks all defenses!”

Only when their torsos hit the ground did the surrounding soldiers realize what had just happened.

“AHHHHHHHHH!”

Agonized screams tore through the air.

Li Guoqiang and Meng Shucheng howled in unbearable pain.

This kind of execution was far crueler than a quick death.

As Strength-type Superhumans with incredible vitality, they didn’t die immediately—even in the frigid air.

But everyone knew it was just a matter of time.

Now came the agony.

The dozens of elite fighters and Superhumans who had surrounded Daiku Kai Enjin were frozen in fear, too shocked to even lift their weapons.

But Daiku had no intention of stopping there.

“If you’ve come, then don’t even think of leaving!”

He charged like a hurricane in one direction—

The massive Dragonfly Cutter in his hand cutting through enemies like a hot knife through butter.

That terrifying strength—against anyone below Delta-class—was utterly unstoppable, even through combat gear.

It was a one-sided, overwhelming massacre.

In the command center, Tu Yunlie saw it all clearly.

The entire room was thrown into stunned silence.

An entire joint force of two outer-city powers was being butchered like cattle by a single man?

Tu Yunlie’s expression grew darker by the second.

“He’s at least on par with an elite investigator… possibly a vice-captain or above.”

“No wonder these monsters rampaged through Kanto, and even the Izumo Organization couldn’t handle them.”

The battle on Daiku’s side was wrapped up quickly.

Over fifty people—not one survived.

And these were elites from the outer cities—

Nearly half of them were Superhumans.

After slaughtering them, Daiku devoured their Superhuman origins without hesitation.

While low-level origin energy didn’t give much boost to someone of his level, sheer quantity could help make up for the lack of quality.

“What a delicious feast,” he said with a content smile.

“I really hope the Jiangnan District sends over more food…”

“Preferably of higher quality.”

Meanwhile, over in Heying’s sector, Peng Jialuo's men were up against the duo of Takizawa Takashi and Wagatsuma Nanako.

A team of twenty elite Superhumans faced off against a two-person combo with a Railgun and Illusory Sound.

The result?

A completely one-sided slaughter.

Wagatsuma stayed hidden, attacking with her shakuhachi flute to launch sonic illusions.

Peng Jialuo immediately ordered everyone to cut off their hearing, preventing their minds from being tampered with.

But this also cut off their internal communication.

And that gave Takizawa an opening—he swiftly gunned down eight people!

When the rest tried to fight back, they found their bodies starting to change.

It was like they were drowning from the inside—

A liquid-like force surging through their internal organs.

Peng Jialuo sensed it instantly.

His heart sank.

“This... this isn’t just illusion. That sonic attack... it’s bypassing our defenses and hitting us internally!”

By the time he realized it, it was already too late.

Two Superhumans swelled up like water balloons—

Then

POP!

They burst open with a disgusting splash of multicolored liquid!

Peng Jialuo himself felt the force growing inside him.

He quickly used his powers to reinforce his body.

But he now faced two threats:

Wagatsuma Nanako's sonic attacks…

and Takizawa Takashi, who watched him like a predator waiting to strike.

Despite outnumbering them, Peng Jialuo's team was the one getting boxed in.

But Peng Jialuo refused to die here.

His ability—Diamond Invincible—was powerful in both offense and defense.

No matter how tricky her tricks were, Wagatsuma couldn’t kill him that easily.

He realized Takizawa was a long-range combatant.

If he wanted to win, he’d have to close the gap.

Take out Takizawa, and Wagatsuma alone was no threat.

With that thought, his golden Buddha body flared with light—

He roared and charged straight at Takizawa!

Takizawa frowned, firing multiple railgun shots in rapid succession.

But Peng Jialuo didn’t dodge—

He chose to tank it for speed.

The golden aura around him protected his body—

Even though the coin bullets hit with the force of cannon shells, denting his muscles and embedding deep into his flesh—

They didn’t break through.

Through sheer physical power, he clamped down on the coins with his muscles.

He was wounded—but only superficially.

In just one second, he reached Takizawa and swung a golden fist straight at his head!

Takizawa’s pupils shrank.

He raised his lightning-coated arms to block—

BOOM!!

The punch sent Takizawa flying hundreds of meters away!

Wagatsuma immediately sensed Peng Jialuo’s strength—

The shakuhachi's tune grew sharper and more urgent.

Peng Jialuo began to feel it too—

Something was screaming in the air, slashing at his body.

That was Wagatsuma Nanako’s ability: Kamaitachi.

A sound-based power that caused auditory illusions—

But more than that, it could use sonic resonance to attack a person’s internal organs, making them explode from the inside!

Peng Jialuo’s Diamond Invincible was unmatched in defense—like a tank.

But no matter how tough a man is, his organs are still fragile.

And with all his attention focused on attacking Takizawa, he couldn’t defend against Kamaitachi.

A muffled grunt escaped him—blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

But by now, no one could come help him.

His team had been completely wiped out in just a few minutes.

When the power gap between Superhumans gets too wide, numbers mean nothing.

From the cloud of smoke, Takizawa Takashi walked back out.

One of his arms was clearly twisted.

Even he was surprised—this enemy was far tougher than expected.

He suddenly recalled Takeuchi Mayumi’s fortune reading.

His fortune for this mission had been “Small Luck.”

He could complete the task, but it wouldn’t go smoothly.

“Tch... just my luck today.”

He muttered to himself.

But before he could rest—

Peng Jialuo's next attack was already right in his face.
