Chapter 121: The Harvest Target List
"Impossible!"
The Vaccine Man panicked upon realizing the situation.
The will of the Earth was invincible—how could humans possibly surpass it?
"Is this all you've got?"
Chang Wei noticed the problem even earlier than the Vaccine Man. He felt a bit disappointed—he had expected the Vaccine Man to evolve into a fourth stage. The third stage was already terrifying. Every punch Chang Wei threw could shake entire continental plates. His strikes weren't much weaker than Saitama's punches, which could wipe out entire mountains.
By this point, the Vaccine Man likely possessed Dragon-level peak strength, possibly even beyond that.
Unfortunately, this was its limit.
Through molecular information analysis, Chang Wei observed that some of the Vaccine Man's cells were beginning to lose vitality and could no longer regenerate. He didn't hesitate—if the Vaccine Man died completely, his gains would be significantly reduced.
"Made in China—Za Warudo!"
Behind Chang Wei, a pitch-black version of The World emerged. Instantly, everything froze in place.
Then, his Divine Light Virus—Invisible Killer devoured the Vaccine Man.
[You have gained one million genetic points!]
"One million?"
Chang Wei was surprised. Even an ultimate lifeform would only provide a few thousand genetic points. Yet, the Vaccine Man had given him a million. Was it due to sheer power, or was its genetic material uniquely rare and valuable?
The term "genetic points" was hard to define. If it had been labeled "life points" or "energy points," it would have made more sense.
"If that's the case, this world is a treasure trove for me!"
Setting aside his speculations, Chang Wei grew excited.
In One Punch Man, monsters appeared one after another without any logic. Someone could transform into a crab monster just from eating too many crabs, or an arcade player could turn into an electric monster after raging at a game.
There were also ways to mass-produce monsters, such as Dr. Genus's human modifications in the House of Evolution or the Monster Association's monster cells.
With all these factors in mind, Chang Wei realized that even without destroying the world, he could accumulate an immense amount of genetic points.
"Only one second of stopped time?"
His Stand returned to normal as Za Warudo ended, confirming Chang Wei's earlier speculation—each world had different time-stop limits.
Fortunately, through adaptive evolution, he could make his stand stronger, eventually extending the time-stop duration.

Sitch watched the screen, where the Vaccine Man had suddenly vanished, leaving Chang Wei standing high in the sky.
"…Is it over?"
At that moment, the S-Class heroes finally arrived on the scene. However, what remained was only a sea of molten lava—both the monster and Chang Wei were gone.
"Find him! We must find him! He is humanity's hope!"
Sitch was a bit disappointed that Chang Wei had already left, but he quickly composed himself and gave orders.
The Vaccine Man's appearance had made it clear: humanity was in greater danger than ever. They needed more powerful heroes.
A monster so strong that even Tatsumaki wasn't confident in defeating it had been obliterated by Chang Wei.
Sitch was overjoyed and determined—Chang Wei had to be found.
—
Meanwhile, Chang Wei was walking down a city street, still feeling exhilarated after his fight.
However, after absorbing the Vaccine Man, he began to sense something—a god's gaze.
It was a humanoid figure, surrounded by swirling air currents. If Chang Wei didn't already know the story, he wouldn't have recognized what this entity was.
"Get lost."
He impatiently snapped at the figure.
"I will reclaim—"
The figure spoke.
"I said, GET LOST!"
Chang Wei unleashed his soul, mental energy, and a host of other abilities—combined with the Ultimate Lifeform's innate power to attack intangible and conceptual beings.
"God-Slaying Strike!"
With a single blow, the godly apparition vanished.
Of course, Chang Wei knew that it wasn't truly dead.
The divine power extracted from the Vaccine Man turned out to be perfect nourishment for the Divine Light Virus. In terms of energy levels, it even surpassed Chang Wei's nuclear fusion power.
This was the first time he had encountered energy superior to nuclear fusion. And unlike nuclear fusion, which required cooldown periods, this divine power had no such constraints.
If not for the existence of that godly being, Chang Wei might have already begun converting this divine power into his own.
"Breathing Techniques… The One Punch Man world's breathing techniques seem worth learning."
Given the Divine Light Virus's learning ability, he could master them in an instant.
Chang Wei had decided on his next destination. Both the original and remake versions of the story emphasized the potential of breathing techniques. Garou, after becoming a monster, focused heavily on them and developed what was considered the strongest breathing technique.
Since Chang Wei already had a foundation in Ripple Energy, he figured it wouldn't be too difficult.
He quickly inquired about the Silver Fang's location, then used supersonic movement to reach Bang's dojo.
Bang was always eager to take on students. In the original story, he even tried to recruit Saitama, hoping to interest him in Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist—though Saitama had no interest.
Likewise, Chang Wei had no intention of becoming anyone's disciple.
With a mere time-stop, he took a genetic sample from Silver Fang before the old man could react. His Ultimate Lifeform and Divine Light Virus then replicated Bang's physical state, allowing him to instantly master the breathing technique of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
"Oh? It can enhance me even at my level?"
To his surprise, his base strength increased by 10% just from applying the breathing technique.
A mere 10% might not sound like much, but considering his current power level, it was equivalent to gaining the strength of a third-stage Vaccine Man.
Still, it wasn't enough.
Chang Wei was now deeply interested in breathing techniques.
Would combining Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, Exploding Heart Release Fist, and Water Dragon's Underworld Body Fist allow him to develop a Perfect Breathing Technique, just like Garou?
"It's different from Ripple Energy, though…"
After analyzing the two, he set the thought aside. He would need more samples to study properly.
And in the meantime…
Should he go fight Saitama?
After careful consideration, he decided to fight Boros first.
He still wasn't absolutely certain about defeating Saitama.
…Or maybe he should transform into a cat and stealthily obtain a sample of Saitama's limiter-breaker genes?
If Saitama's miracle could be replicated, it would be one of the most valuable assets in this world.
"Genus's brain is a must-have. And Metal Knight…"
