Chapter 105: Becoming the Strongest
Twenty minutes ago.
A City, Suburban Biological Muscle Research Institute.
"My goal is to become the world's strongest man, the strongest... This is my dream."
Marugori, wearing a white sports vest and pants, with short hair and developed muscles, was in the gym. He was slightly out of breath, doing sit-ups like a madman. His room was equipped with various fitness equipment, and the walls were covered with posters of muscular men.
"King, I will definitely surpass you and become the strongest man in the world!"
His gaze was fixed on the poster on the wall, a man with an imposing figure—King, the strongest man on Earth!
"That's right, I am the strongest man!"
His entire body's muscles trembled from overexertion. However, he still gritted his teeth and persisted in lifting the barbell, trying to stimulate his potential and break through his current limitations.
He was just an ordinary person, but he dreamed of one day becoming the strongest man, and tirelessly trained for it, putting in two hundred percent of his effort to strengthen his muscles.
"Hahahaha, my thirteen years of painstaking research have finally succeeded! The Ultimate Anabolic Steroid—Biceps King—is complete!"
Next to Marugori's gym was his brother Fukegao's laboratory. Fukegao was a mad scientist who had spent his life researching how to maximize the enhancement of human muscles. Heaven rewards the diligent; after thirteen years of effort, he finally synthesized the most perfect steroid muscle-enhancing drug.
"With this potion, my silly younger brother's dream of becoming the strongest man will finally be realized! And my desire to conquer the world will no longer be a fantasy. By then, my brother will be the world's strongest man, and I will be... the King of the World! Hahahaha!!"
Fukegao held up a bottle containing a multicolored liquid in a test tube, his face filled with madness. His usually wise eyes were now brimming with a fanatical glow.
"Marugori must be eager to swallow the Biceps King now, right?!"
He chuckled, pushed open the laboratory door, and strode towards the gym. Marugori was still desperately training his muscles. "Brother, stop doing those time-wasting, low-efficiency training sessions."
Hearing the voice, Marugori looked up in surprise at Fukegao, who was beaming with excitement. "Brother, aren't you doing experiments today?"
He was very curious. In the past, his brother rarely left the laboratory, practically living inside it. Why was he in the mood to come see him today?
"Brother, drink the Biceps King in my hand, and you will gain the power you desire."
Fukegao fanatically held the test tube containing the Biceps King and offered it to Marugori. "Drink it, and you will achieve your dream—to become the world's strongest man."
"Huh? Drink this?"
Marugori looked blankly at the multicolored Biceps King in Fukegao's hand. Can this stuff really be drunk? Mom said the better-looking something is, the more poisonous it is?!
"That's right, drink it." Seeing Marugori's slightly disgusted look, Fukegao comforted him, "Don't worry, I specifically made the Biceps King strawberry flavored for you. It will be very comfortable to drink, with absolutely no bitter aftertaste or nausea."
"Brother..."
Marugori was deeply moved. His brother was too good to him; not only helping him realize his dream, but even considering the potion's taste so thoroughly. "Brother, I love you. I will definitely become the strongest to protect you and our shared home."
He said firmly, "Brother, if I drink this, can I surpass King and become the world's strongest man?"
"Of course."
"Gulp!"
As soon as Fukegao finished speaking, Marugori immediately gulped down the Biceps King from the test tube.
"Ugh…"
As soon as the Biceps King entered his bloodstream, his entire body's muscles immediately swelled rapidly like balloons. With a tearing sound, his bulging muscles ripped his clothes apart.
"Wow, the Biceps King is effective!"
Fukegao fanatically stared at Marugori, who was getting bigger, stronger, taller, and more powerful. He felt as if the throne of the King of the World was beckoning to him.
"Ahhh!"
Marugori's muscles continued to swell, and his height continued to surge. His appearance underwent a terrifying transformation. His entire skull gradually became skeletal, and his collarbones broke through his muscles and protruded, creating a hideously terrifying scene.
"One hundred meters... three hundred meters... eight hundred meters... one thousand four hundred meters... too strong, the Biceps King is too strong! Brother has already become an ancient deity—a Titan?!"
His face was full of excitement. The stronger Marugori became, the greater his chance of ascending to the pinnacle of the world.
"Ah~"
After a while, the effect of the Biceps King gradually wore off. Marugori had completely transformed. His body, several thousand meters tall, was like an insurmountable peak. The upper half of his skull no longer had flesh and skin, his bare skull conspicuously exposed, making him extremely terrifying. His entire body's muscles were as strong as steel, and every move contained ten thousand tons of power.
"Hahaha, my brain combined with your muscles, the combination of the strongest intellect and the strongest physique! As long as we brothers unite and cooperate, we can conquer everything on Earth and become the World King who rules the Earth."
Fukegao stood on Marugori's broad shoulders, looking down at the tiny world below. He spread his arms and embraced the air, shouting his declaration with a face full of fanaticism.
"Power, this is the strongest power!"
Marugori clenched his fists, feeling immense power gushing forth. He had a misconception that he could smash the earth with one punch, tear open the sky, and level all mountains.
"Ah!"
He roared lowly in excitement, his palm suddenly sweeping towards a skyscraper. He had originally intended to swat away the obnoxious tall building, but unexpectedly, with one sweep, the force of his palm directly blew away and destroyed a section of buildings, tearing up the ground and leaving behind nothing but ruins.
"Too... too strong."
Fukegao was stunned by Marugori's power and said excitedly, "Well done, brother. Tens of thousands of people died in an instant. This is it! This is how we will conquer Earth. Come on, let's go sweep through the next city!"
"Yes, okay."
Marugori listened to Fukegao's command and strode towards the next city—City B.
"Brother, it's not wrong. This is what I want... the strongest power, surpassing King's power... I... I am the world's strongest man..."
"That's right, brother. You are the strongest man now, not some lousy King anymore."
Fukegao said excitedly, "Your power combined with my wisdom, we two brothers will definitely conquer the world and become the Kings of the World. King and those S-Class heroes with frail bodies have no ability to stop our advance."
"We came, we saw, we conquered!"
