Underground Gold Veins
CharacterThe Underground Gold Veins form a sprawling mining complex buried below the Monster Association Headquarters, where monsters extracted rubies, gold, and other minerals. Once Tatsumaki tore the association's stronghold apart, whatever became of these tunnels was left a mystery.
Appearance
The site is an immense hollow carved out beneath the surface, threaded with tunnels and chambers that a rail line ties together. Oddly for a place staffed entirely by monsters, it is fitted with distinctly human machinery, including conveyor belts and the railway that moves material through the shafts.
Personality
Labor here is split along clear lines among the creatures who run it. Some monsters wield sharpened claws to bore fresh passages, beetle-like drones shove loaded minecarts along the tracks, and ant-shaped workers handle grunt tasks while keeping the others organized. Together they form a crude but functional mining operation.
History
During the assault on the Monster Association, Saitama and Flashy Flash ran into Manako and pressed her into serving as their guide, which sent the trio careening through the shafts aboard a minecart. Working monsters spotted them and a brawl broke out. Saitama snatched a few sacks of gold along the way but sacrificed them to catch Manako as the group plunged over a chasm, a loss he grumbled about even after clearing the drop. Why the monsters bothered mining at all is never confirmed, though the materials most likely fed their allies in the Organization or other unnamed partners. After Tatsumaki leveled the headquarters, the fate of the veins went unrecorded.
