Chapter 93: Thank Goodness I Haven't Started Balding Yet
When the golden fist expanded to fill his entire vision again...
When his own fist collided head-on with the opponent's, only to be crushed into fragments effortlessly...
When the punch, containing heart-stopping power, blew his neck apart...
Boros's headless body continued to swing punches, launching charge after charge, even as his severed head flew through the air, his scarlet eye flickering with a dazed light.
In this tense moment of a life-or-death duel, for some reason, Boros felt an unprecedented calm. It was as if his entire state of mind had transformed into a tranquil surface of water.
The river of time churned with colorful fragments of memory. Unknowingly, scenes from his long life flashed through his mind.
Years ago, Boros was born on his home planet—a world with an extremely harsh environment. To survive, his people had no choice but to constantly become stronger.
His race was naturally powerful and possessed incredible regenerative abilities, making them the dominant species in their galaxy.
And Boros was the pinnacle of them all. His regeneration far surpassed that of ordinary kin, and his energy reserves exceeded the limits of his race.
When he released all the energy in his body, he could level the entire surface of a planet.
Given the chance to direct all his energy into a planet's core, destroying the entire world wasn't impossible for him.
After growing up, the powerful Boros left his home planet and founded the Dark Matter Thieves, conquering endlessly across the vast, silent cosmos.
During his travels, he gathered a large group of subordinates, including powerful generals like Melzargard, Geryuganshoop, and Groribas. The name of the Dark Matter Thieves resounded through the stars.
As time passed, Boros grew bored. He longed to find an opponent who could fight him, making it the ultimate goal of the latter half of his life.
Upon learning that Earth had an opponent capable of fighting him, Boros spent 20 years crossing galaxies to reach this place.
In mid-air, watching his own scarlet blood spray around him, Boros's eyeball rolled twice, and he suddenly understood.
Yes... I spent the first half of my life conquering... and the second half searching for an opponent to fight...
Everything else in the world seemed to fade away. Boros's eye could no longer see anything but the blond man burning with berserk vitality reflected in his pupil.
Perhaps my entire life existed just for this battle with you.
Then, let me bloom with the most brilliant light of my long years. Let me burn passionately for the last time!!
Thousands of flesh tendrils extended from his severed neck and head simultaneously. In an instant, they wove together and fused. Boros's head reattached to his neck in the blink of an eye, and the energy fluctuations around him grew even more violent.
"I WAS BORN TO DEFEAT YOU! COME! LET US FIGHT TO OUR HEARTS' CONTENT! KING!!"
Boros looked like a demon. His pink hair danced wildly in the void as he sprinted at extreme speed, roaring. A dazzling trail of pink light followed him, warping space wherever he passed.
He appeared in front of King instantaneously, unleashing the strongest energy available in his Meteoric Burst state without reservation.
Originally, Boros had ample energy. Even with constant regeneration from heavy injuries, if he only used energy to heal and maintain Meteoric Burst, he could have lasted at least another ten minutes.
But now, Boros was exploding with all his energy regardless of the consequences or exhaustion. His desire for victory in this battle had transcended his own life.
Or perhaps, he no longer cared about winning, but was simply enjoying the process of combat.
Sensing Boros's desperate burning of life force, King's expression remained unchanged. Thunderous drumming echoed in his chest as the King Engine beat in rhythm with the tremors of heaven and earth.
He sensed the purity and madness in Boros's heart.
In that case...
The corner of King's mouth curled up slowly. He raised his fist again. The crimson vitality burning on his body surged like fire doused in oil, his strength rising to another level.
I will grant your wish!
King, with his physical stats boosted again across the board, took a step forward. A casual punch unleashed a shockwave that spanned dozens of miles.
When their fists collided, King's fist crushed Boros's right hand with unstoppable force and punched a massive hole directly through his chest.
However, Boros didn't care. Facing a fatal wound that would kill a normal person instantly, he regenerated in less than 0.1 seconds and threw a vicious left hook.
King countered without hesitation. Boros's left fist exploded into a mist of blood, skin fragments and energy scattering everywhere.
But in the split second their left fists clashed, Boros's right fist had already regenerated and launched another attack.
Just like this, they stood in place, trading blows frantically. Even though Boros's fists were easily shattered every time, and his body was destroyed by irresistible attacks, he launched new attacks again and again.
Unknowingly, King's expression became weirder and weirder.
Looking at Boros, who had abandoned defense relying on super-regeneration, King found it increasingly familiar.
This fighting style... where have I seen it before?
Crap! Isn't this ME?!
King remembered. During his spar with the Bald Demon, hadn't he relied on his insane regeneration to struggle and survive because the stat difference was just too massive?
Looking closely, it was exactly the same. Back then, Saitama smashed his arms with every punch. Now, King was smashing Boros's fists with every punch.
Bad news! I've become the Demon King!
In the midst of such a tense battle, King actually reached up and ran a hand through his golden hair, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness I haven't started balding yet. Otherwise, I'd really be in trouble.
