With brisk steps, she walked over to Zenin Kyūjō and Saitama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fubuki standing beside him like that, Zenin Kyūjō could only sigh helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she really expecting both him and Saitama to help her deal with her older sister's wrath?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Since when did you three get so close, huh?\" Tatsumaki shot them a sharp, suspicious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenin Kyūjō just shrugged and replied casually, \"Maybe... just a few minutes ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, Tatsumaki.\" His tone softened, but his words carried weight. \"Honestly, there's no real grudge between us. Sure, I made you throw up twice, but think about it—weren't you the one who attacked first each time? You never even gave me a chance to explain. If you keep doing that, I won't be as nice next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\" Tatsumaki snorted coldly, her voice sharp as usual, but there was a faint shift—her tone had softened ever so slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the tension melting away, Zenin Kyūjō smiled and turned to the two sisters. \"Have you eaten? If not, stay and have a meal here. I can cook plenty of dishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want ramen... tonkotsu ramen... is that okay?\" Fubuki asked softly, her cheeks tinged pink as she glanced sideways at Zenin Kyūjō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Give me a moment,\" Kyūjō replied with an easy smile before turning to Tatsumaki. \"And you? What do you want to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmph... Fine. Since you seem sincere enough, I'll accept your apology. Make me some hot rice with soup...\" she muttered, her voice trailing off toward the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. One tonkotsu ramen and one bowl of hot soup rice. It'll be ready soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Kyūjō headed straight to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their casual conversation left Sweet Mask frozen in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tatsumaki—the Rank 2 hero of the S-Class. He could understand that she might not be able to defeat Saitama, since he'd seen firsthand just how absurdly powerful that bald-headed man was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zenin Kyūjō... was on that level too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he spoke to Tatsumaki—it was as if he were talking to a mischievous child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are still heroes this powerful hiding in the world? Sweet Mask thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he'd been far too naïve all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the sisters' meal and calming the mood, Zenin Kyūjō suddenly felt something through his Infinity Perception System—an enormous object moving fast through space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive spaceship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hurtling through Earth's orbit, descending rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenin Kyūjō's eyes narrowed. He knew exactly what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main villain from One Punch Man's first season—the Dominator of the Universe, Boros—who crossed the sea of stars just to meet his death on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who would eventually be obliterated by Saitama's Serious Punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the bald man still relaxing nearby, Kyūjō mused silently, Should I head there first and take care of those monsters myself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Why not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At worst, he could have a light spar with Saitama afterward—and maybe help him break through to the God-level even earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made up his mind, Kyūjō decided to distract his bald friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saitama, I saw a new supermarket open downtown yesterday! They're doing a fifty-percent-off sale today—everything's half-price. Want to check it out? If you find any good ingredients, grab some for me too. I'll make you a special lunch later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saitama's golden eyes sparkled instantly, his excitement bubbling over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously?! I'm going right now! Where is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō calmly gave him the name of a rather remote location. Without hesitation, Saitama dashed off, his figure vanishing in a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sweet Mask looked like he was about to follow, Kyūjō quickly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sweet Mask, let him go alone. I still need your help here. Alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Mask hesitated for a moment, then nodded. \"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Saitama was far enough away, Zenin Kyūjō's expression turned serious. He faced everyone in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's going to be an attack—by a group of monsters. Aliens, to be exact. Their mothership is currently in orbit, approaching Earth. Their goal is to conquer this planet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to confront them. Anyone who wants to come with me, I'll take you along. This is a great opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Except you, Fubuki. Sorry—but your strength isn't enough yet. I'll be fighting their commander myself, and I can't guarantee your safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Aliens?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tatsumaki stared at him like he'd just lost his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if aliens did exist, how could he be the only one who knew? The Hero Association hadn't detected a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he pinpoint the enemy's exact location all the way out in space?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she found it hard to believe, Tatsumaki still asked, \"If that's true... how strong are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of them are Dragon-level threats, and there are many. One of them is even said to be the strongest esper in the galaxy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their leader, Boros, is somewhere between the peak of Dragon-level and the threshold of God-level. In this world, only Saitama, Blast, and I can face him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't want to come, that's fine. I can just bring Genos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Mask frowned slightly. \"But you said their ship is still in space. We're human—we can't survive in a vacuum. Even with space suits, our movement would be too limited for a real fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not wait until they land? Once they enter the atmosphere, we can take them all out together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And one more thing... why send Saitama away? He's insanely strong. If he came along, this would be over with one punch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenin Kyūjō exhaled softly and replied with calm certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a way to keep everyone alive in space. As for Saitama—he's too powerful. Those aliens wouldn't give him any meaningful experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for the rest of you, this is a rare opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we fight them on Earth, the destruction would be catastrophic. That's why I want to confront them outside the planet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I get it! Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Tatsumaki—usually so stubborn—looked excited this time. She genuinely wanted to see what kind of esper dared to claim the title of the strongest in the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Mask merely shrugged, a faint smile tugging at his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case... I'm coming too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>📖 Full Novel Available! 📖\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All chapters are now complete and available in full on Patreon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to read the story faster and without waiting, join here 👇\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🔗 patreon.com\u002FFaaanzKun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you so much for all your support! ❤️\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>",1121,"2026-06-06T13:14:24.001Z",1,"novelbin.me","48042b9785e60885c437f52b3c22e6b94a7ba3519c6fcb1eeb3321393ae4e81c","from-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-chapter-279","from-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-chapter-277",389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
