Its appearance is very similar to a rhinoceros beetle magnified countless times, covered with a hard brown shell, with bulging muscles, full of explosive power.
It is the ultimate weapon of the House of Evolution—the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!
The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle casually blasted the clones that were firing at it into dust, then looked at Genus with a mocking expression.
"Damn it, I am the strongest fighter in the House of Evolution, and you actually locked me up here." His words seemed angry, but his tone was completely indifferent.
"There's nothing we can do. Your mental state is unstable, so we have no choice but to keep you here."
Genos looked grim. He still believed that the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was a failure, possessing great power and intelligence but utterly devoid of morality.
"It doesn't matter if you kill me, there are plenty of clones anyway," Genus said, turning on the projection and pointing at Saitama and the other two, before addressing the rhinoceros beetle.
"Didn't you want to fight? Both of them are extremely strong..."

"Wow, this underground area is quite spacious," Saitama looked around, his interest rekindled. "It's really exciting, it feels like a maze."
Lin Mo walked silently at the very back, deliberately letting Saitama and Genos walk in front of him.
Are you kidding? The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle is at least a terrifying monster at the mid-level of the Dragon rank.
He stood a little further back to avoid being accidentally brushed against and turning into dust.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Heavy footsteps suddenly echoed in the passage, and before anyone could react, a huge brown figure appeared in front of them as if by teleportation!
The newcomer was none other than the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle! In its right hand, it was clutching Dr. Genus, whose face was covered in blood.
"boom--!"
Before Genos could react, he was blasted into the wall by the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.
"Phew..." Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and cold sweat instantly broke out. "Thank goodness... thank goodness I was standing far enough away."
After instantly killing Genos, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle casually tossed Dr. Genos aside and laughed maniacally with a ferocious expression, "My name is Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. The place outside is too small to unleash my full power."
"There are special laboratories here for combat. Let's go fight there."
“Dare to turn Genos into modern art… then I’ll fight him. Perfect, I’m itching for a fight too.” Saitama’s expression became slightly more serious.
Chapter 13 Supermarket Special Offer Punch
"Is it big? This is the largest room in the base. Experiments are tested here to see if they can serve as combatants," the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle described vividly.
His eyes swept over the two humans in front of him—
There was a bald man in a yellow bodysuit with a blank expression, and another... um? Why is there also a guy whose face says "I'm just a passerby"?
The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's gaze lingered briefly on Lin Mo before he automatically categorized him as an insignificant nobody.
"So... which of you two will come up to your death first? Or... do you want to come at me together and save me some time?" The rhinoceros beetle's eyes were full of contempt.
Suddenly, a blazing pillar of fire roared and tore through the air from the left, the intense heat even causing the surrounding ground to glow red.
However, Ashura's reaction speed was beyond imagination.
With an unnatural agility, his massive body took a step back, and the pillar of fire roared past him.
“Mr. King, Saitama-sensei, please let me fight it.”
After saying that, Genos rushed into the sky, his metal right fist carrying a powerful aura, like a small meteorite, and smashed down hard on the top of the rhinoceros beetle's head!
Saitama exclaimed helplessly, "Hey, I haven't agreed to be your teacher yet, okay?"
"too slow."
Faced with the fatal blow that came from the sky, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle simply raised its head slowly, a sneer of extreme disdain appearing on its face.
Just as it was about to be hit, the rhinoceros beetle vanished from its spot.
"Machine gun sweeping punch".
Undeterred by his failed first attack, Genos remained undeterred.
The thrusters on his arm instantly increased in power, and countless fist shadows appeared in mid-air, enveloping the rhinoceros beetle's entire body like a storm.
The rhinoceros beetle didn't even bother to dodge, letting the dense fist shadows strike its brown carapace, producing a series of clanging metallic sounds.
He withstood all the damage and casually swung his hand back.
Genos's pupils contracted sharply, and he only had time to cross his arms in front of his chest before being struck hard by the immense force.
He was sent flying backward, tracing a messy parabola in the air, before crashing into a wall more than ten meters away with a loud bang, sending debris flying everywhere.
"Damn it, I was careless."
Genos struggled to his feet from the rubble, his body parts even more tattered, the armor on his left arm completely torn apart, occasionally flashing with dangerous sparks.
But without the slightest hesitation, he mobilized all his energy and gathered it in his hands, shouting, "Maximum power—Incineration Cannon!"
A beam of energy, several times thicker than before, charged toward the rhinoceros beetle with an aura of annihilation.
Instead of dodging, the rhinoceros beetle took a deep breath, its chest bulging visibly. Then, it blew hard at the incoming pillar of fire.
"Blow it back? Impossible..." Genos was shocked.
The once unstoppable fire serpent, in the face of the airflow blown by the rhinoceros beetle, became as fragile as a bubble and dissipated to both sides.
Immediately afterwards, the entire beam of light began to retreat at an even faster speed, engulfing the person who emitted it.
Genos—Defeated!
At this moment, Dr. Genus, who had watched the entire battle from the entrance of the room, muttered to himself with a smug look on his face:
"This is the most terrifying demon ever created by the House of Evolution. How could you, as humans, possibly defeat it..."
"Dr. Genus, may I call you that?"
Lin Mo walked towards Genus. He had slipped away the moment the battle began, afraid of being accidentally injured.
"Fortunately, the Asura rhinoceros beetle doesn't seem to care... It probably thinks it's got us cornered..."
Lin Mo secretly rejoiced, unaware that he had been identified as a nobody.
"KING!? What are you doing here!" Genos was shocked.
Shouldn't he be there dueling with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle? And how does he know my name? I clearly haven't shown my face in front of them.
"Just watch, that bug can't beat Saitama." Ignoring Genus's doubts, Lin Mo said confidently to him.
He couldn't very well say he hid because he was afraid of dying, could he? He saw Genus limping over there with his own eyes...
------
Saitama stopped watching the show and walked towards the swaggering Rhinoceros Beetle, cracking his knuckles as he said, "These moves are really making my mouth water."
"Don't spoil my fun. You're the ultimate weapon here, aren't you? You're definitely different from those guys this morning."
"I can see that, you're really strong." The rhinoceros beetle said to Saitama with a smug look on its face.
He then instantly appeared behind Saitama, his right hand, veins bulging, raised high behind him, poised to strike.
However, just as he was about to throw a punch, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's expression suddenly changed from arrogance to terror, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
He abruptly stopped the attack, his wings unfurled with a "whoosh," and he flew backward with all his might, landing on the wall.
"If I had attacked just now... I would have been killed!" The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle exclaimed in terror.
"What? The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle actually retreated?" Everyone present except Lin Mo was shocked.
"You...why...what are you? How could you become so powerful?!" The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's voice was filled with trembling and fear.
"Do you all want to know?" Saitama looked at everyone with a serious expression. "Genos, listen up too."
Genos tried to stop Saitama, saying, "Sensei, how can you talk about something so important in front of the enemy..."
"One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run—do one set every day!" Saitama seemed unconcerned, adding, "The key is consistency!"
The field fell into a deathly silence.
A few seconds later, Genos was the first to retort: "Please don't joke around, that was just ordinary exercise, and the intensity wasn't high at all!"
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. Well, how could you just tell someone something like this?” The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle took Saitama’s words as a joke.
The anger at being so slighted and the humiliation of being intimidated by the other party's imposing manner intertwined, completely igniting its ferocity.
Its body began to swell rapidly, its muscles grew wildly, and its originally brown skin began to turn an ominous deep purple.
Strange green patterns appeared on its body, and the horn on its head grew longer, becoming even more ferocious and terrifying.
An aura far exceeding anything seen before, and extremely violent, swept through the entire room.
"Asura Mode!!"
[The wrath of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, Energy Points +500]
Seeing that the time was ripe and he had collected enough emotional points, Lin Mo, who was in the distance, immediately shouted:
"Hey Saitama, it's Saturday today, the supermarket has a sale! We can have hot pot tonight!"
Saitama's perpetually blank expression suddenly changed, revealing an unprecedented anxiety.
"Why didn't you tell me something so important earlier? I thought it was tomorrow!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already thrown a punch.
"boom!!!"
Entering "Asura Mode," the rhinoceros beetle, which was said to be able to destroy everything, was reduced to dust by the "supermarket special offer punch."
Saitama didn't even glance at the result. He rushed to Lin Mo's side, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him outside.
"Hurry, hurry! If we're late, all the beef will be gone!"
[The astonishment (lingering) from the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, Energy Points +5000]
