Chapter 171: What's Going On Here?!
Following the awakening of the more resilient Superalloy Darkshine, the other S-Class Heroes also began to slowly wake up.
Bang looked at Z City, which had been completely reduced to scorched earth, his old eyes gazing worriedly into the distance, his fists unconsciously clenching.
Charanko... His dojo was located in the suburbs on the outskirts of Z City, but looking at it now, the mountain where the dojo was situated had likely been leveled by the aftershocks of the battle.
I hope that kid escaped.
If it were just the dojo being destroyed, Bang might only feel heartache and helplessness, but if Charanko had also died in the aftershocks, Bang would spend the rest of his days in pain and guilt.
He wouldn't think it was because Charanko was too weak, but would always believe it was his own weakness and incompetence that failed to defeat the powerful enemy and protect him.
Flashy Flash sat squatting on the ground without a word, his long golden hair drooping over his cheeks, looking somewhat dejected.
He remembered the battle before he lost consciousness, that Monster whose whole body shone with diamond brilliance, who had actually crushed him so easily in the Domain of speed.
For Flashy Flash, who had always taken pride in his super speed, this was simply a great insult.
But that wasn't even the greatest insult; more importantly, that Monster shining with diamond brilliance wasn't even in its final form. According to other heroes, this guy evolved later and became much stronger than during the diamond-shining period.
Was my speed... really crushed so easily... Just as Flashy Flash was feeling a bit discouraged, a pig-slaughtering scream caught his attention.
"Gwah! Why have I become only one meter tall?! Dammit, I'm not even as tall as your thighs!!"
Hmm? Where is that Mosquito-like voice coming from?
Flashy Flash looked up in confusion, only to see a short, muscular dwarf wearing a large blue tank top, jumping in anger.
Although the other's face had become very youthful, relying on that old-fashioned blue tank top and the signature short golden hair, Flashy Flash still recognized the identity of this little dwarf.
This guy is Tanktop Master?!
Immediately after, Flashy Flash discovered that although Tanktop Master was covered in blood, he hadn't suffered much damage.
Was it some kind of special secret technique... As a Ninja, Flashy Flash naturally knew that many secret techniques existed in this world, some of which might involve burning the body to recover from injuries.
On the other side, King was located in some ruins, observing the state of the S-Class Heroes after they woke up, while his Divine Sense continuously scanned in all directions.
After all, that God fellow was only expelled and not completely killed; some level of precaution was needed to prevent him from making a comeback.
The S-Class Heroes couldn't handle any more trouble right now, so it was natural to be cautious.
What is that?!
His Divine Sense scanned something falling rapidly from ten thousand meters in the air. King abruptly looked up, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Such speed! And even the energy fluctuations are so massive!
Just as King was preparing to enter his Death Gate form to go up and investigate, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura within that rapidly approaching energy fluctuation.
Oh, it's the Bald Demon King.
King sat back down, all the tension on his face dissipating into nothingness at that moment.
The Bald Demon King Saitama; in a sense, this guy was the synonym for absolute safety.
It seems there's an equally massive energy aura following him... King sensed it for a moment, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
Is it Sun Sperm? The Bald Demon King didn't kill this guy but brought him back to Earth instead?
It seems the convergence of world lines is truly breathtaking; it can even be rounded back like this.
You should know that although Saitama tamed Black Sperm as a pet in the original work, that only happened when the other party was incredibly weak.
But the current Sun Sperm shows no signs of being weakened; he still maintains extremely powerful strength, capable of easily insta-killing all S-Class Heroes.
He can even be tamed as a pet like this?
King didn't know what to say, only that it was truly worthy of Saitama.
Boom boom boom!!
A stream of light burning with flames fell from the sky, kicking up dust everywhere the moment it hit the ground. A thunderous roar accompanied by an invisible shockwave swept in all directions.
All the S-Class Heroes immediately forgot about resting and looked over nervously, mobilizing all the power in their bodies, ready for another life-and-death struggle.
A tall figure burning with raging flames gradually appeared in the dust; it was indeed Sun Sperm.
In an instant, the expressions of all the S-Class Heroes changed, all of them acting as if facing a formidable enemy.
Metal Bat, disregarding his not-yet-fully recovered body, grabbed his bat and rushed forward with a ferocious expression.
Tanktop Master glanced at his body, which was now only one meter tall, yet he still bit his teeth, crossed his arms over his chest, and began to charge with large strides, roaring:
"Tanktop Tackle!"
The moment Tatsumaki saw Sun Sperm, angry killing intent erupted in her eyes. Her Psychic Power poured out like a whistling ocean, turning into a sky full of spikes:
"You actually dare to come back! Die for me!!"
Zombieman first glanced at King. Seeing that the The Strongest Man on Earth showed no shock on his face, he frowned at first, then understood.
Even Sun Sperm's return was within Mr. King's expectations... Then there's no need to act; Mr. King's plan doesn't require interference.
Watchdog Man looked up at Sun Sperm, then at the calm and composed King, before lowering his head as if nothing had happened, continuing to scratch his ear with his hind leg.
Pig God, after also observing King's reaction, knew that nothing should be wrong, and then went back to stuffing himself with snacks to replenish his energy.
Only three S-Class Heroes present launched an attack without hesitation: one was Metal Bat, one was Tanktop Master, and the other was Tatsumaki.
And the biggest thing these three S-Class Heroes had in common was that they temporarily had no brains.
Tanktop Master presumably had his brain capacity shrink along with his body, as he didn't observe King's situation at all.
Metal Bat's blood rushed to his head in an instant, remembering the ridiculous way he had been casually insta-killed before, and he couldn't help but rush forward in anger.
As for Tatsumaki, it was purely because she remembered Sun Sperm's previous provocation and his cruel behavior toward Blast that she instantly burned with rage and launched an attack without further thought.
Sun Sperm, who had just been brought back to Earth by his master Saitama, had only just poked his head out when he saw three attacks surging toward him, leaving him completely bewildered.
What's going on here?!
