He could feel it clearly—the strike had nearly reached his own level of speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By his estimation, Hit's current combat power hovered around five hundred billion in power level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that speed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was frighteningly close to Kyūjō's own movement speed in his normal state, a realm that reached into the trillions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight twist of his body, Tachibana Kyūjō narrowly avoided the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze toward Hit, curiosity flickering in his eyes, and asked calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do that?

Most of them fell after a single strike, their battles ending before they truly began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the man standing before him had not only dodged effortlessly, but had even identified the name of his technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone was enough to spark genuine interest within Hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your name?\" Hit asked slowly, his hands still resting inside his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The attack just now was only an advanced application of Time-Skip.

Blood trickled from the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, he was smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you finished, Hit?\" Kyūjō asked calmly. \"If so… then it's my turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, relying solely on his body's natural sense of Ki, Kyūjō threw a straight punch—one powerful enough to shake the planet's atmosphere itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the overwhelming surge of energy, Hit immediately retreated. He knew the difference in raw power between them was vast, and Time-Skip was ill-suited for close-range exchanges against an opponent like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true assassin exploited advantages and struck at weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only fools—or anime protagonists—chose to clash head-on in contests of brute strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hit activated Time-Skip once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, within that frozen 0.1-second interval, a relentless barrage of strikes slammed into Kyūjō's body. The sound of flesh and energy colliding rang out in rapid succession, blow after blow landing without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō's body was sent flying once more, tossed around like a training dummy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that brief moment, his bones cracked, muscles tore, and most of his internal organs suffered severe damage. Only the divine energy coating his body kept him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Time-Skip ended—its natural cooldown kicking in—Kyūjō moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the back belt of his battle uniform, he pulled out a single Senzu Bean and swallowed it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, every wound and ounce of fatigue vanished. His energy returned to its peak, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this sudden change, Hit frowned. He was about to activate Time-Skip again to snatch the mysterious object from Kyūjō's waist—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—but instead, Kyūjō pulled out a handful of the same beans and tossed them toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around ten small green beans landed neatly in Hit's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at them in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are these?\" he asked flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tachibana Kyūjō smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're called Senzu Beans. A miraculous item—no matter how severe your injuries are, just one is enough to fully restore your body and recover all your energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't misunderstand. I'm not giving these out of mercy. I just want to fight you without holding anything back. That Time-Skip technique of yours must consume a lot of energy, right? With these, you won't need to restrain yourself anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō clenched his fist, his aura blazing to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use your full power, Hit! Show me everything you've got!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed across the darkened sky of the planet, awakening a long-buried fighting spirit within Hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had it been… since he last felt this rush?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since mastering Time-Skip, within Universe 6, no one had been able to stand against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the God of Destruction and his accompanying Angel, he stood at the apex of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Saitama in another world, every battle had become dull—his opponents always fell in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man before him—a warrior from another universe, Tachibana Kyūjō—had endured his attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than that, he had invited him to fight without limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames of battle within Hit, extinguished for hundreds of years, roared back to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If 0.1 seconds still isn't enough to bring you down…\" Hit said slowly, his eyes gleaming with razor-sharp intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…then I'll break past that limit—0.2 seconds… 0.3 seconds…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Hit—will never lose to anyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Join my Patreon here:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🔗 patreon.com\u002FFaaanzKun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>",1480,"2026-06-06T13:14:24.001Z",1,"novelbin.me","521995a2c46f41ab5ba5447949cd217254d83b9a4415130311f82de0a68bfaba","from-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-chapter-237","from-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-chapter-236",389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
