Long Summary[]
Sweet Mask is revealed to have survived the attack by Fuhrer Ugly, who appeared to have killed him. He approaches Pig God, who has unexpectedly slimmed down, making it difficult for Sweet Mask to recognize him. Sweet Mask inquires about Pig God's presence, but Pig God counters with the same question. Sweet Mask explains that a monster tore his jeans. Spotting Pig God's jacket on the ground, he mistakenly thinks it’s a tent and uses it to cover his lower half, much to Pig God’s indifference. Sweet Mask insists on getting Pig God to safety, but Pig God replies that he can't move until he eats something first. He then proceeds to eat the corpse of Gums, which surprises Sweet Mask. After a brief moment of contemplation, Sweet Mask simply wishes Pig God well and leaves.
Meanwhile, Sage Centipede is attempting to retrieve its regeneration core, which Garou has hurled towards the sky. The monster manages to grasp the core with its antennas, revealing its immense length as it stretches from the ground to space. Garou, having run along its back, leaps up and destroys the core with a downward jump. As he approaches Sage Centipede with a karate chop, he recalls his early days at Bang's dojo, where he could not break 50 tiles in a single strike, leaving just one intact, a testament to his capabilities as a newcomer. The giant centipede ultimately meets its demise as the Hero Hunter slices it in half vertically down to the surface, declaring that "his fist" has now been perfected.
