Chapter 180: The Ultimate Clash of Power!!
Blast raised his hand, and the power of space was instantly activated. The space where Saitama and King were located was immediately mobilized, projecting their images onto the light screen here.
However, in the very next instant, Blast only felt a strong sense of backlash hitting him, and the spatial light screen in front of him suddenly exploded into a shower of energy particles.
He himself also received a significant backlash, as if he had been hit head-on by energy from such a vast distance using this light screen as a medium; blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey... this is a bit too exaggerated..."
Blast remarked in shock, while simultaneously offering an apology in his heart.
Sorry, King, I can't act as the referee anymore.
Now, I have even lost the qualification to just watch your battle.
"Sigh, those who know me would think I'm Blast, the protector of Earth; those who don't would think I'm just out here cosplaying as space debris."
Thinking that compared to those two fighting in the distance, he wasn't even as significant as dust and didn't even have the qualification to watch, he felt somewhat helpless.
We're all clearly human, so why is the gap so massive?
In Blast's view, the gap between himself and other S-Class Heroes was already large enough—even larger than the gap between the lowest-ranked S-Class Hero and an ordinary person.
But now, compared to Saitama and King, he was more like the difference between Blast himself and a paramecium.
...
At the Place of Return, all things were extinguished.
space turbulence continued to surge out incessantly, a silver tide carrying terrifying power as it raged on.
Yet, at the very center of the ocean of space turbulence, there was a vacuum zone nearly ten kilometers in diameter.
That area had lost all rules; it was as if even space no longer existed, becoming a Domain constructed solely by two immensely vast powers.
Saitama and King were both fighting in earnest, trading punch for punch in a state of primitive physical combat.
Now, every punch from the Bald Demon King was his most serious, far stronger than the punch that parted the Earth's atmosphere in the original story.
There were no flashy beam struggles or dazzling special effects; there was only the ultimate competition of raw power.
Saitama didn't need to follow any rules; he himself was the ultimate rule.
King also didn't need to follow rules; his absurdly broken Infinite Evolution was his basis for ignoring them.
A punch was thrown in an instant. Saitama didn't dodge or avoid it, taking the hit directly to the face.
The power behind this hit caused even the incomparably powerful Saitama to feel quite a bit of pain, as a streak of crimson nosebleed slowly trickled down.
He wiped his face, and looking at the crimson residue on his palm, the excitement on his face was beyond words.
"It's been a long time since I've seen myself bleed. This is the first time in three years. I'm truly grateful to you, King."
As he spoke, Saitama's surging emotions caused the power within him to skyrocket, his Aura instantly becoming several times stronger than before.
King's pupils couldn't help but contract. Before he could even react, Saitama's clenched fist smashed into his face.
Crack!
A crisp sound of bone fracturing rang out. After his enhancement, the Bald Demon King's punching power became even more terrifying, shattering half of King's skull on the spot with just one hit.
Ultra-Speed Regeneration and Infinite Evolution immediately activated.
Accompanied by the simultaneous flickering of green and white light, not only did King's face return to its original state in an instant, but his vitality even became several degrees more powerful.
Hearing Saitama's words, King also smiled, though that domineering and majestic face looked somewhat stiff when smiling:
"You're grateful to me, and I feel the same. After all, we are good friends, Saitama."
The two powerhouses, who regarded each other as close friends, exchanged a glance. Without another word, they raised their hands and swung their fists at each other.
Everything was understood without words.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!!
In this "real man" duel arena constructed from their energy, the shockwaves produced by every collision no longer spread out, but were instead firmly locked within this area.
The speed at which Saitama and King threw their punches was incredibly fast. Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to see their movements; they were so fast they had reached a point of relative stillness.
King's fist smashed into Saitama's nose, immediately making his nose bleed profusely and even causing his nasal bone to fracture.
But who was the Bald Demon King? His injuries would always mysteriously recover in an instant. Even he himself didn't know why; essentially, it was just a pure cheat.
And as he got injured, the Battle Intent in Saitama's heart would grow even higher, and his strength would begin to skyrocket frantically.
The strengthened Saitama also threw a punch, his fist even directly punching through King's skull, sending two bloodshot eyeballs flying into Outer Space.
With the simultaneous activation of his two passive skills, King not only recovered from his injuries but also saw a massive increase in strength.
Ultra-Speed Regeneration allowed King to continuously recover from injuries, giving him extremely long-lasting endurance in battle.
Infinite Evolution further enabled King to keep up with the Bald Demon King Saitama's constantly increasing strength.
King didn't initially know just how ridiculous this passive was, but now he knew.
When Saitama, who had become significantly stronger, threw a punch, King would be injured but simultaneously have his physical toughness immediately raised to the same level as the strengthened Saitama.
In other words, the situation from the original story where Cosmic Garou copied strength but couldn't keep up with the Bald Demon King's growth rate did not exist here.
Here, both of them were strengthening in sync!!
