Chapter 85

**The Power of Nessie** (ネッシーの力, *Nesshī no Chikara*?) is the eighty-fifth chapter of the *Dandadan* manga series.

## Summary

As instructed by the Serpo, Momo targets the mind-control alien to pull it off the ceiling with her psychic powers. However, her attempt fails as the alien overpowers her grasp on its body. The Serpo informs Momo that it is impossible to drag the alien into their dimension and that she must use her powers to attack it directly. Despite this instruction, Momo points out that she has no way of using her psychic powers to perform an offensive attack and ends up being flung around the room by the mind-control alien's tentacle. As this is happening, more of the Serpo become mind-controlled to reduce the numbers of the Serpo that have been unaltered. Momo, in her mind, becomes conflicted on how she is unable to fight back without Okarun and finds herself starting to blackout as she takes on more damage. After receiving a memory of Miko criticizing her on her poor performance while pouring tea, Momo remembers all the way back to her childhood to when Seiko instructed her to use the power of words to alter reality by practicing on kicking a sandbag. After failing to do so, Seiko asks Momo as to what she believes to be the most powerful creature in the world. After Momo answers Nessie, Seiko decides to give this name to her bat and uses it to demonstrate on the sandbag on how to properly use the power of words, resulting in it being sent bouncing off of the house. Along with this memory, Momo recalls having to do the Moe Moe Tri-Beam with her friends, which results in her awakening. With all the Serpos defeated and mind-controlled, Momo becomes the only target for them to attack as she is hanging by the mind-controlled alien's tentacles. However, after forming a heart-shape with her hands, Momo fires off a psychic blast that pushes back the mind-controlled Serpos. Momo is then called out by the last remaining Serpo to target the mind-control alien and fires off another blast while shouting "Moe Moe Tri-Beam", resulting in the alien's body being shattered.

Aira manages to dodge all the punches thrown at her by the crab-headed alien, kicks him up the ceiling where his head gets stuck, and prepares to fight the Serpo. However, the alien uses his psychic powers to subdue Aira to a wall and becomes delighted to see that there is more than one human with superhuman powers.

Using her Acrobatic Silky hair, Aira grabs onto the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie's neck to pull herself towards him and send out a flying kick. However, the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie intercepts her attack with a punch and sends out a volley of shockwave punches as he explains to them that he is a close combat fighter due to possessing the crab alien's arms. After catching Aira, the three become conflicted with trying to figure out a way to fight against the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie, however, after Okarun points out that the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie has the mantis shrimp arms from the crab alien, Momo develops an idea after Okarun points out the fused creature's mantis shrimp arms. The three then become separated after being hit by one of the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie's shockwave punches.

As he prepares to have his fist close in on her, Momo uses her powers to separate the water, resulting in the Serpod Dover Demon Nessie's mantis shrimp arms ripping apart due to them being unable to withstand the power when out of the water. The Serpod Dover Demon Nessie then resorts to trapping Momo by his teeth and dives down into the water to recharge another water blast that will split Momo in half.

With the translator only managing to make out bits of her words, Okarun learns from Bamora that she came to Earth to find a husband through a fight, and if she loses, she will decide to marry that person.

After Ayase removed the charm protecting her home from evil spirits, the Flatwoods Monster makes its appearance to steal Takakura and Ayase's genital's. In order to stop its rampaging, Ayase helps Takakura to use the Turbo-Granny's powers to attack the alien and figures that defeating the Flatwoods Monster would require them to force its hand to touch the ground (since its fighting style is similar to a sumo wrestler's) and putting the charm back at the entrance. After Takakura and Ayase forces the Flatwoods Monster's hand to touch the ground, the alien's arm starts to disintegrate but manages to hold itself up after growing a pair of legs from its neck and attacks Ayase. Though she had taken damage, Ayase reveals that she purposely let the Flatwoods Monster pummel her into the wall behind her in order to create a deep enough hole to prevent the possessed Takakura from being affected by the charms effects as she uses her psychic powers to bring him towards her. After putting the charm back at the entrance, the Flatwoods Monster is brought down as its body completely burns to ash.

## Abilities and Powers

### Physical Abilities

**Immense Strength:** Due to its large size, the Flatwoods Monster was powerful enough to cause great destruction to Ayase's home by simply stomping on the ground and sending a human flying with one open-palm strike.
