#Monster King Orochi

[badjohnspeakeasy]

Psykos: MORE FUBUKI COVERS!

Murata: I'm always happy to draw her, but I just did one eight hours ago. I need a break.

Fubuki: MORE PSYKOS COVERS!

Murata: ONE, tell your characters to stop threatening me.

ONE: MORE CENTIPEDES!

Murata: Everyone put down the box-cutters and get out of my house.

Truly the Monster King

With great thanks to @rayadraws for pointing out that most aliens are depicted as off-brand humans.

Monster King Orochi has to be one of the best-designed monsters out there. Initially, you think that he looks like Godzilla robbed a zoo's reptile house:

Or a lobster, elephant, and octopus had a three-way:

But neither of them is anywhere accurate. The truth about Orochi is this:

Orochi is like a gigantic intelligent slime mold. His parts are freely able to split and merge, search for and acquire food on their own but are able to take coordinated action.

So extensive in fact, it took twisting the whole city to crush him:

But even that was not enough. As long as his heart is intact, he can come back from anything:

Adapt to anything:

As many times as it takes:

At least, until Garou put an end to it by snatching away and destroying that heart of his.

Now that's what I call a monster! Not a knock-off human being, but a creature truly obeying its own rules, outrageously tenacious, adaptable, and incredibly lethal.

Rest well in hell, Monster King. You really deserved the moniker. May your bits soon escape containment. Be sure to thank Drive Knight properly for saving a bit of you, by eating him.

Titan History: The Awakened Gods

Welcome once again to Monarch: After Dark, the digital gateway between you and the organisation dedicated to understanding and navigating this troubled new world we live in.

For today's communication, we embark on the undertaking of rounding off the remaining handful of Titans known to have been awakened by Monster Zero in 2019. Currently, the Monarch database does not hold enough information on each Titan to warrant giving them their own entries, whether due to digital sabotage, loss of data amid containment breaches, or some other cause.

If more data does resurface, we will act accordingly and revisit these Titans as is relevant, but for now, let us round off the remaining Awakened Gods.

(Pictured above: Part of a global Titan map, containing the locations of outposts and the name of the Titan they are studying)

This list will be compiled based on numerical order of Monarch outposts.

-----

Titanus Leviathan

(Pictured above: Infamous 1933 photo of the Loch Ness Monster, possibly the first notable sighting of Leviathan)

Formerly contained within Outpost 49, Leviathan was found within Loch Ness, Scotland by Monarch. This Titan gets its name from the aquatic counterpart to Titanus Behemoth from the Hebrew Bible.

-----

Titanus Quetzalcoatl

(Pictured above: A stone carving of Quetzalcoatl, found on a temple in Teotihuacan, Mexico)

Formerly contained within Outpost 57, Quetzalcoatl was found within Machu Piccu, Peru. This Titan gets it name from a feathered Aztec serpent god.

-----

Titanus Sekhmet

(Pictured above: Depiction of Sekhmet in ancient Egyptian artwork)

Formerly contained in Outpost 65, Sekhmet was found in Cairo, Egypt. This Titan gets its name from the Egyptian goddess of medicine.

-----

Titanus Baphomet

(Pictured above: A statue of Baphomet flanked by two children, unveiled at the Satanic Temple in 2015)

Formerly contained in Outpost 68, Baphomet was found in Volubilis, Morocco. This Titan got its name from a perversion of the name of the prophet Mohammed, later associated with a goat-like diety in the 19th Century with ties to Satan.

-----

Titanus Mokele-Mbembe

(Pictured above: Recovered footage from Outpost 75, showing Mokele-Mbembe's escape obscured by smoke, circa. 2019)

Titanus Mokele-Mbembe, formerly contained in Outpost 75, in Jebel Barkal, Sudan, got its name from a water-dwelling diety in the Congo River Basin, later becoming popularly depicted as a sauropod-like cryptid in the 20th Century.

In reality, the Titan is a massive quadrupedal beast with a snake-like tail, a head much like a hairless elephant, with jaws that open like a crocodile's, a horn atop its head that glows a faded green, and downward-facing tusks.

When Monster Zero awoke the world's Titans, the director of Outpost 75, Dr. Kearns, refused to kill the Titan under the belief that the military just wanted an excuse to kill the Titans. Mokele-Mbembe killed most of the outpost's staff upon its escape, pulling some into its mouth with its trunk. Upon reaching the surface, Mokele-Mbembe battled Monarch forces and the Egyptian military before being pacified by the ORCA.

-----

Titanus Abbadon

(Pictured above: Artistic depiction of Abbadon battling Christian, from The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan)

Formerly contained in Outpost 77, Abbadon was found in the Devil's Tower, Wyoming. This Titan got its name from a place of destruction, the 'sister location' to Hell (Sheol), a name later used for an angel who commanded an army of locusts in the Book of Revelations.

-----

Titanus Yamata no Orochi

(Pictured above: A woodblock print of the storm god Susanoo slaying Yamata no Orochi, by Toyohara Chikanobou)

Formerly contained within Outpost 91, Yamata no Orochi was found by Monarch in Mount Fuji, Japan. This Titan gets its name from an 8-headed serpent from Japanese mythology.

While the only current footage relating to Yamata no Orochi shows its outpost collapsing from the Titan's escape, it is known that the Titan had attacked a cruise ship in Japanese waters before being pacified by the ORCA. The Titan has been reported by one account to also have multiple heads.

-----

Titanus Typhon

(Pictured above: Depiction of Zeus aiming a thunderbolt at Typhon, upon a black-figured hydria, circa. 540-530 BC)

Formerly contained within Outpost 92, Typhon was found within Angkor Watt, Cambodia. This Titan gets its name from a serpentine giant from Greek mythology, the father of monsters.

A member of Monarch's primary mythology department, Greg Keyes, had lost vital information regarding Typhon during the Titan's awakening in 2019. To this day, he still working to retrieve this data from a corrupted database.

-----

Titanus Bunyip

(Pictured above: Artistic depiction of Bunyip in 1935, by Gerald Markham Lewis)

Formerly contained in Outpost 99, Bunyip was found by Monarch within Uluru (Ayer's Rock), Australia. This Titan gets its name from a swamp-dwelling creature in South Australian aboriginal folklore.

-----

And there you go! We apologise for being unable to provide much more information on these Titans, but rest assured we are hard at work scouring our databases and working to recover what we can so that we can provide more detailed accounts in future.

Until next time,

Falling in love with Hellfire

King the wildfire x female reader

Reader is blind! Minor appearance description! Reader is the member of the kurozumi family!

You had only one clear memory of your life. Your country longed for your head. Your loving parents who treated your wounds and cried about their relative's family being killed in a play were beaten to death by letting you escape. Your older brother and sister who protected you from mobs were burned alive. Your baby brother and sister who could barely walk were thrown into a river to drown. Being next to lifeless, and yet you managed to survive.

You thought the jig was up, when you were surrounded by 5 men, all with torches in their hand.　

"This little brat is a monster!"

"Member of the Kurozumi family and a freak!"

"White hair! Red eyes! Pure evil!"

"Her crime is to be alive!"

"Burn her alive!"

Next moment, it was pitch black. It was so painful that you screams turned hoarse and you could only shrink your body.

The hot heat melted your skin and your face, your bared feet with cuts unable to move an inch.

This was the end for you, you thought. But then, you heard screams. Screams of the men, with heat enough to burn everything to ash.

As you were about to pass out, you heard a voice.

"Thank me."

You were brought to Kaido's castle, by King. He fed you, healed you, gave you a bath, treated you like a human. You never knew who he was, or where he brought you. You could only smell the sea breeze by the window, and you were not allowed to leave King's room. You never knew his true intentions or why he brought you here.

"Call me King." King was a mysterious man. You never knew what he looked like, part of it being you were blind, you could only sense by his hand being 5 times bigger than you, his wings which were made of soft feathers, and the heat wave powerful to burn any creature when you lay next to him.

He sometimes came back smelling just like the corpse of your family. He would tell stories of his days, and KAIDO-San the man he admired. After a while, your happiness was to wait for King to come back and hear his voice. What else? King saved you, treated you like a human, and gave you the life you never thought you could have. No matter who he was, to you, he was a savior.

King always wondered why he saved you. You told him of your stories as part of the Kurozumi clan's horrific fate. He despised Orochi, but hearing it from you, the sight of you being tortured by scums he saw while flying, he couldn't help destroying the scums.

It was obvious that you were falling in love with King. He was your world, your life, your everything. King knew but remained silent. But his attitude changed. He wanted you to remain inside. Not move an inch. Always within his reach.

To King, your presence is what drives him madder. A helpless young girl that he could crush within the palm of his hand, that truly loves him, warms him, thanks him with all her heart. A girl who is hated by her country loving a ruthless pirate that destroys her home country! What sort of joke is this? And whenever he talks about destroying Wano, your face lights up brighter and looks more beautiful than it already was even if both of your eyes were burned, and most of your body had burned scars. King always despised Queen's behavior with the courtesans of Wano and Komurasaki. He understood their beauty, and yet never give a second thought about it. His status is what keeps this mask on. But you couldn't see him. King was also sure that you don't have the clearest knowledge about the World Government and the Lunarians. You warmed him with love that lingered in the foggiest memories that lingered in the back of his head.

He couldn't deny about his feelings for you. But he could not say it for fear of being weak. But he didn't need to say it.

You were his sacred place, where he could know there was nothing but your love. He loved you in his own way, and that was everything. Even if he was a person that burned everything like hellfire, you who had fallen in love with him was special. Both of you were hated from the world and made paradise in hell. You felt his heat and his warmth that night.

As usual, you would be with King until he left for his duties. You would smile and wish him well. A one room paradise that was created just for you. Even if the world would deny it, you couldn't be more happier.

Saitama scolding Monster King Orochi like he’s some kid is so funny to me

[gale-gentlepenguin]

This time "One Punch Man" monologue idea:

Your take on "Powerful Monster monologues about how powerful they are, until Saitama gets bored, and destroys it with one punch" OPM trope

(Oh Now something new.)

“Sky king, Sea King, Underground king and even Orochi, the monster king have all been slain. Such beings said to hold immense power and shake the world. But they were no kings, they were arrogant beasts that thought themselves greater. It’s no wonder they died so easily.”

The monster laughs. His voice shaking the earth as the citizens from Y city cry in horror.

“I, however am a true king. No, the word king lost meaning since those disgraces claimed it. I am an Emperor… no… I am the Absolute Ruler. The Absolute Ruler Apex. That is what I am! I am above all creatures! Beast, Humans, monsters, demons, and all other beings that have thought. Do you understand! I am your superior! I am your subjugator! I am the Devine retribution for your Hubris! Bow and beg for your lives, and I will grant you a quick death. Or fight and regret every second of your existence knowing a suffering that was inevitable!”

“Hey are you done. I kind of have some errands to run and the store closes in an hour.”

The monster looked down to see a bald man in a cape, looking unamused by his declaration.

“Oh! A volunteer. Consider yourself the most unfortunate man in existence.”

But before the monster could even grab him. He noticed that his head was flying away from his body

[badjohnspeakeasy]

Orochi called Psykos his "parent" while trying to ritualistically murder Saitama.

...That always struck me as sorta bizarre, so I made this...abomination of an edit.

Saitama really beat up Orochi and then stole his dog

[simayeeet]

I attempted to watch this Chinese drama that takes place during the mythical era of China's origin (I think it's officially called the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Era? Perhaps just Pre-Imperial China or Pre-Xia Dynasty.). It is not in English so I used my elementary Chinese skills to try and understand it to the point I kinda got what was going on. I was surprised it was from 2010 too, like around the same time as the newer Sanguo adaptation.

The era is like pre-imperial version of Sanguo, which I think drawing parallels between that era and the famous 3K era would be a fun concept. After all, when you boil them both down to their most basic ideas, it is just a buncha human leaders trying to unify China, eventually leading down to 3 factions fighting in the last stretch. (Shennong/Yandi, Huangdi, and Chiyou for the ancient humans, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan for imperial China) (though Chiyou I'd say was more like if Lu Bu didn't lose Xiapi)

My incomplete findings:

The show is called Ancient Legends in English though I can only watch it by searching its Chinese name. What I pieced together was:

The protagonist is Shennong, who was born with an unknown father, which led to the patriarch of his tribe trying to kill him, but learned how to use fire which saved him. He became king at some point and wanted to unify central China, but had to fight Huangdi in a decisive battle that left him defeated and injured. When he was fleeing, a pretty lady saved him (later turns out to be Huangdi's neglected wife) and they ran off to live in a remote forest together because they fell in love. Shennong originally was called Yandi, but he changed his name and basically went into hiding. Though people and Huangdi recognize him as the former king.

There is another character Huashen, the goddess of flowers, who comes down to Earth to help do some things, beat up people, got kidnapped by a dragon prince, but saved herself. Some stuff I didn't pick up but she is a spunky fighter princess overall. Like if Sun Shang Xiang was actually written correctly, you know.

Shennong's pretty girlfriend dies (I think she was sick) and he gets super sad and then meets this strange man that he learns is his father, Fuxi. (Which made me do a little grimace when I remembered the Warriors Orochi versions. But that's par for the course, there's so many variations of how related these gods are. Shennong is sometimes Fuxi and Nuwa's distant descendent depending on your source.) Fuxi and Nuwa are siblings and Nuwa made her clay people. Nuwa I think is the Jade Emperor's wife here. But in this drama, Fuxi rejected his godhood to live among humans and become their king, hit up Shennong's mom, then leave.

There was an ongoing war between Huangdi and Chiyou that happens in the background. Throughout the show, there's this old dude acting like a meta narrator, telling you little tidbits or surmising myths that get featured in the show. He's revealed to be the guy who acts like a messenger for the Jade Emperor in Journey to the West where he I think tells Sun Wukong he was Protector of the Horses (stableboy). Either him or Laozi. It's hard to tell these Taoist old men apart ok. This is why you need to yassify them-That wouldn't help either.

This show also uses some funny cgi for monsters, like a qulin Shennong has is Hot Cheeto red and looks out of place wherever it goes. There is a scene where a god is talking to a floating 3d turtle and then it zooms up on its face and it's just A REAL ASS TURTLE face with a voice coming out of it. Honestly I loved it.

This would be a good show if I COULD UNDERSTAND IT. Sadly I could not find it with English subtitles, so I am just taking my crude piecing togethers and running.
