Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 231: Flea

Tamazuki's reaction was outside this being's thought.

This being didn't expect there to be an existence that could even rebel or show a fighting spirit when facing it.

Whenever anyone saw it, all they could feel was hopelessness.

They could only give up and showed their alliance with their utmost loyalty to serve this being.

Yet... yet.. this mongrel dared to hurt it?!

It was filled with rage as part of its body was cut by Tamazuki.

Then, without hesitation, this being used its hand to catch him.

Tamazuki knew that he would be caught if he didn't do something, as the hand of this being was so massive.

This hand was as huge as the several Suns were combined together.

Everything was covered by this hand.

In front of this hand, Tamazuki felt like he was nothing but a flea or, even worse, one biological cell creature!

Moreover, it was also impossible to run away as it also had a gravity that attracted his body, like a black hole.

Erasing the fear in his heart, Tamazuki didn't give up and turned his body into the wind!

As his body continued to break the limit, he became the wind and ran away!

Wind.

This was the reward that he had gained from Tatsumaki before.

Like the "Fire" that he got from Julis in the world of Gakusen, the "Wind" had a similar effect, but he became the wind.

Unlike a fire, the wind was free, and it was fast.

His body was scattered in all directions as he became the wind, and his speed was about five percent of the speed of light.

His speed might not be as fast as the light, but it was still fast.

Yet, this was far from enough, so he continued to break his limit.

This being was also surprised by Tamazuki's persistence, yet it didn't show any gloom or depression. Instead, it showed a smile on its creepy face.

This being was having fun.

It was like how a hunter played with their target.

Like a cat playing with a mouse instead of giving it a decisive blow.

Watching Tamazuki run away scared was something fun for this being.

This being had been living for so long that it existed before everything even started, so it also decided to play along.

Strangely, Tamazuki didn't feel that his mind was corroded or being invaded again, but he was still being chased around.

What was this thought?

Was this playing with him?

While he was speechless, Tamazuki could imagine that this being thought so and played with him since, in this being's mind, he was nothing but an ant.

At worst, he was a pet dog that could be killed anytime.

While he was furious and wanted to devour this being, he also knew his limitations.

Even if he had Saitama's ability, it was impossible for him to get stronger so fast enough to match this being's power.

What he needed to do was to run away.

Run away! Run away! Run away!

Using his Shukichi, his surroundings quickly changed before he was inside the core of the Sun.

He didn't care about the heat and stayed there, thinking of escaping, but suddenly the world stopped.

The time had stopped.

Everything was stopped.

'Time manipulation?!'

Tamazuki, whose mind was working so fast that it was moving millions of times faster, could feel the world stopped moving. Soon, a circle-like portal appeared on top of him, and a hand emerged from that circle, trying to catch him.

'Fuck!'

He wanted to curse once again, and he realized that this was the greatest danger that he had ever encountered in his life.

Even if he faced the protagonist's halo, the power of the plot, and everything, he wouldn't be so helpless. Instead, he didn't give up and continued to fight, yet this... this... was different!

This was on an entirely different dimension!

In front of absolute power, everything was meaningless.

Even if he had the systems, knowledge, and everything, it was all worthless.

Everything was useless.

Tamazuki understood the fear, and he also understood that he would die.

Even worse, even if he died, his soul might be kept, imprisoned, and tortured for eternity!

"THERE IS NO WAY I WILL BE CAUGHT HERE!"

Tamazuki roared and broke the limit again, creating immunity for this time-stop ability before he used his Shukuchi again, running away without hesitation.

The hand of the being that was about to catch Tamazuki missed him.

This being couldn't help but frown upon and didn't expect that Tamazuki could move so fast, but even so, so what?

Once again, this being tried to search for Tamazuki, yet, this being didn't expect that Tamazuki would run away in such a complicated place.

Tamazuki appeared again and saw blazing magma in his surroundings, burning the earth and everything.

However, unlike before, the magma was moving and wasn't affected by the time-stop ability of that being.

Even so, he ignored all of this phenomenon and quickly opened the door and vanished from this world.

Then, soon, a hand appeared again and stared at the planet where Tamazuki disappeared for a moment, trying to search for him, including everything in the universe as it continued to stop time, yet everything was futile.

Tamazuki had disappeared as if he didn't exist in this universe.

Moreover, the mark on Tamazuki's body was also nullified, and it was impossible to track him.

This being tried to put a mark again, but it was impossible, and he lost him.

The being was curious and continued to search for him for thousands, tens of thousands, millions, billions of years, patiently from one corner to another, peering at every corner without missing anything before it gave up and stopped the time-stop ability and let time flow like before while thinking about where Tamazuki had disappeared.

Yet, at this moment, everyone that was living in the universe didn't realize anything. They continued with their lives without realizing anything. Even if time had been stopped for billions of years, no one felt a change in them, and they felt that everything was the same as the time had never stopped, to begin with.

However, in the ghost town of Z-City.

"Sensei, what's wrong?" Genos asked

Saitama looked at the sky in silence and moved his body slightly since he felt slightly stiff for some reason.

"Sensei?" Genos even became confused since Saitama had been silent for a few minutes.

Still, Saitama scratched his bald head, then sighed. "I want to eat Tamazuki's food."

"Let me cook for you!"

"No, you can't match his cooking skill."

"..."

This time, Genos didn't say anything.

It was like Genos didn't think he could match Saitama's power; he knew he couldn't match Tamazuki's cooking skills.

"Though, I wonder where he is."

"It seems that he is living with his girlfriends currently."

"Really? That bastard! I hope he receives a punishment!"

Yet, what Saitama didn't know, Tamazuki had received his punishment, and this punishment almost made him lose his life.

---

Then, a door suddenly opened, and Tamazuki fell directly into his human form, rolling into the ground, closing it instantly, and making it disappear before he gasped in the air when he knew that everything was alright.

"Ha... Ha... Ha..."

His heart was full of hatred at that moment, and he swore for revenge, but he knew he was still weak.

He didn't care where he was now and just thought to sleep since he was so exhausted, yet what he didn't know, two figures found him and looked at him worriedly since his appearance was so miserable.

"Mom, let's help him!"

Looking at her daughter, she hesitated, but when she looked at the young man, she nodded.

"Okay."

I know that this might be unacceptable.

Tamazuki is strong, but the problem is... is he strong enough to fight the creator of the universe?

Frankly, if I don't make the opponent become strong, then... his journey will be too boring, right?
