Chapter 216 : The S-class heroes suffered a crushing defeat, prompting the summoning of Saitama!
"Ugh!"
Vest-Top Master's muscular body was brutally crushed by the mountain-sized Centipede Elder.
The Centipede Elder's Talon, like a blade, cut open his robust body, and Vest-Top Master instantly turned into a puddle of mangled flesh.
Child Emperor's giant robot, "Brave Giant," was corrupted by the power of the gods, its programs in disarray, and its crimson electronic eyes sharply turned towards his Master, a giant fist smashing down with destructive energy!
Child Emperor's tender face was filled with horror and despair, and he was instantly engulfed by the violent energy.
Zombie Man's proud immortal body was completely devoured by Evil Natural Water; acid corroded him, and even with his strong regeneration ability, his body disintegrated inch by inch until his stark White bones were exposed… Metal Knight's mechanical body was torn apart into countless pieces.
Pig God attempted to devour a giant monster but was instead burst open by the monster's expanding flesh.
Superalloy Darkshine's proud muscles rapidly withered and carbonized under Homeless Emperor's god-level power… One by one, familiar figures fell, blood staining the ruins.
Genos, Saitama's closest disciple, had a severely damaged mechanical body; his core furnace was overloaded, and the azure flames turned crimson.
He stood in front of Tornado, Bang, and others, who were gravely injured and dying from their battle with Psykorochi, facing a tide of Dragon-level monsters, his sole remaining mechanical arm desperately propping up a tottering energy shield.
"Teacher… I… I did my best."
Genos's core processor pulsed with searing pain, and data streams flashed wildly with warnings in his vision.
He saw King attempting to intimidate the enemy with his King Engine, but he was instantly impaled through the chest by a speed-type monster.
He saw Flashy Flash's proud divine speed become sluggish under the suppression of the divine realm, and he was tackled and torn apart by several monsters… The strongest combatant, Saitama, was dragged into an alien space by the god, and neither side could determine a victor in a short time.
Despair, like cold venom, seeped into the bones of every surviving hero.
Above the sky, Saitama's punching motion suddenly paused.
His White cape flapped violently in the turbulent energy flow.
Below, his disciple Genos's broken body was being heavily struck by monsters, his core furnace erupting with dazzling sparks.
Tornado collapsed from exhaustion, Bang vomited blood and fell, King's chest had a large hole… The sight of familiar faces struggling on the brink of Death, like billions of steel needles, fiercely pierced his heart, which had already grown indifferent due to his strength.
"Genos, Bang, King… everyone…"
A scream, suppressed to the extreme, as if squeezed from the depths of his soul, rolled from Saitama's throat.
Buzz!
An indescribable storm of will erupted from Saitama!
On his bald head, veins protruded menacingly, like coiled angry dragons.
His eyes, usually somewhat dull, now burned with rage and sorrow that could incinerate the eight directions, and within their depths, stars seemed to explode!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
This time, he was no longer simply throwing a punch.
Saitama himself transformed into a lightning bolt tearing through the Universe, colliding with the ultimate darkness representing the god at a speed beyond the limits of time and space!
This punch condensed all his emotional outburst: the grief over his comrades' demise, the fury over his disciple's near-Death, the unwillingness to see the World suffer, and the ultimate hatred for the god's malice!
Boom!
At the point of impact between the pale light and the dark abyss, a light billions of times brighter than the birth of a star erupted!
Time and space were completely twisted, shattered, and reassembled there!
The god's massive, indescribable body trembled violently for the first time; the dark Shadow that constituted its essence was forcibly torn open by that pure, emotionally driven power, creating a huge, penetrating wound!
Countless black fragments, viscous like asphalt, with the illusory sight of billions of stars flickering within them, sprayed out from the god's wound as if alive!
Those were the shattered fragments of its essence, blasted by Saitama's ultimate punch, containing part of the god's power and will.
But this alone was not enough to kill him; those black fragments quickly reassembled and flowed back into the god's body.
The black giant stood in the sky, letting out a cold sneer.
"Saitama, to defeat me, your power is not enough, far from enough!"
A hint of despair flashed in Saitama's eyes; damn it, can he really not be defeated?
How strong do I need to become to possibly defeat him?
A prompt popped up in front of Li Yu.
"Detected a high-potential individual meeting conditions, currently in an extreme mental state, meeting recruitment criteria…"
"Do you want to send an invitation to the Reincarnation Space to Saitama?"
Li Yu's lips curved slightly; good, it's this moment!
On the edge of the battlefield, Li Yu, who had been observing the battle like a ghost, moved… The spear of longinus appeared from the void, held in Li Yu's palm, its shaft transforming into a purple swimming dragon, constantly leaping.
"Go!"
Li Yu gripped the spear of longinus and gently threw it!
Crack!
This fierce spear directly penetrated the sealed space, ignoring time and distance, instantly piercing through the god's massive body.
The fierce spear exploded within the god, and countless root-like tentacles spread throughout the god's body, absorbing the chaotic laws within it.
"Ah!"
The god let out a painful roar; the chaotic laws within his body were plundered and absorbed by the spear shaft. He twisted his face with difficulty, looking at Li Yu.
"Who are you?"
Li Yu did not attack the god's main body again, nor did he pay attention to the fierce battle below.
"Get out, if you don't leave now, I'll kill you!"
"You… you just wait for me…"
The god's body twisted violently, instantly turning into a whirlpool and disappearing.
The Dragon-level monsters rampaging below also retreated, and soon the noisy battlefield became calm again, leaving behind only the remnants of many S-Rank heroes.
Saitama gasped heavily; even he was somewhat exhausted from the battle with the god.
A lone figure wearing a Gold Cloth appeared before his eyes.
He looked up; the man in front of him, whose face he couldn't make out, had eyes that glowed with a golden light.
A low voice sounded in his ear.
"Do you want to become stronger? Strong enough to break through all obstacles and protect everyone you want to protect!"
The man extended his hand, and a red hexagram in his palm glowed brightly.
"Join me, and I will give you a chance, a chance to change history!"
Saitama hesitated, but when he saw Genos's sole remaining damaged core emitting faint electrical sparks on the ground, his eyes became resolute.
Their hands clasped together, and Saitama's usually dull eyes instantly sharpened. He murmured to himself.
"So, so that's it…"
Li Yu's lips curved slightly, and his figure gradually blurred.
"I give you ten years. In ten years, you must become powerful enough to disregard all gods!"
"By then, everything you have lost will have a chance to be regained!"
Saitama clenched his red gauntlet. He took one last look at his familiar companions below, then suddenly exerted force, following Li Yu, and transformed into a golden stream of light, disappearing into the air.
The second piece of the seven puzzles is complete!
