Chapter 407: Reincarnators Retreat

"You guy...?!"

Tatsumaki's pupils trembled. Although she had vaguely realized that this B-rank hero named Saitama possessed some special strength, she had never imagined that the other party possessed this kind of... power.

For a moment, she actually didn't know how to describe this power.

The firmament shook, yellow sand poured backward, and the atmosphere and sky of this world were shattered together, as if the air above this planet had been blasted away all at once; several yellow sand tornadoes immediately appeared on the desert.

These tornadoes swept up countless sand grains, pouring them out toward the heavens.

The sky became bizarre and grotesque, and the laws of physics were also affected.

This level of strength could no longer be described by the Concept of 【Human】. If she, 【Tatsumaki of Terror】, was a power that other heroes were wary of and crowned with the title of 【Potential Dragon Above Disaster】 because of that Superpower.

Then what this bald man was displaying at this moment must be the power truly capable of exterminating the human world!

An unimaginable, powerful force made Tatsumaki's expression change for the first time.

Kageyama Shigeo lowered his hands, the last shred of luck in his heart vanishing. This guy called 【Saitama】 was indeed that kind of existence.

Completely impossible to restrain; the survival of the world rested solely on his single thought.

At this moment, the Saitama revealing that detached and indifferent posture looked increasingly like the "person" he had seen in his Prophecy, the one who fought 【Fatalism】 until the world was destroyed.

Saitama was actually a person quite lacking in terms of 【Ability】. He couldn't fire lasers, couldn't fire energy blasts, and couldn't even fly; he would even subconsciously hold his breath in outer space.

But he had pushed the basic abilities belonging to a 【Person】 to an unfathomable realm.

He couldn't fly, but a forceful kick was enough to jump from the Moon back to the ground.

He couldn't fire energy blasts, but a single punch was enough to "part the hair" of the planet with its shockwave.

His power had completely lost its "limit," making it increasingly difficult to obtain satisfaction from battle. That enthusiasm gradually cooled, leaving only the first glimmer of kindness in the radiance of humanity, which made him a "hero for fun."

Yet these people kept using him, stimulating him, and treating him as some kind of rule-based thing to try and conquer or influence.

Whether it was this guy who pretended to be a Supermarket owner and stripped away his sense of fulfillment bit by bit.

Or that guy who conversely claimed to be "for fun" to wake him up...

Saitama had completely understood the game Fate Eternal and Bai Cangshu were playing around him.

He actually didn't mind being used; if necessary, they could even slander him, and he wouldn't care.

But in the battle between these two just a moment ago, that indifference—treating their own lives and the lives of everyone in this world as nothing—made Saitama feel extreme disgust.

Yes, he could clearly feel that Tao Baibai was deliberately luring that guy into attacking. He intentionally provoked that guy, then let him launch an attack, because Tao Baibai had calculated that he and the bad-tempered brat would intervene...

And that "Supermarket owner" understood everything as well. He knew that he and the bad-tempered brat would save Tao Baibai, so he chose to attack the entire city, and even the entire tectonic plate.

Using this form to force them to give up on saving Tao Baibai, and even...

He also had the awareness that he would not kill him.

Saitama liked fighting, and thinking during a fight was reasonable, but the thinking and judgment of these two had a flavor that made Saitama feel sick.

There was no "passion" belonging to a normal living being; it seemed everything had a line, and they were making choices according to that "optimal" line.

Looking at the prompt in the space panel, looking at the shattered crown above his head, 【Shiyu】's expression was shaken, but soon, he adjusted his mindset and gradually calmed down.

【Fate Eternal】's own Reincarnator codename was 【Shiyu】. Because he had become accustomed to being addressed as 【Fate Eternal】 after obtaining the Supreme Being Crown, Shiyu only now uncomfortably remembered that he was Shiyu, not Fate Eternal.

Moreover, the Supreme Being Crown 【Fate Eternal】 did not have good compatibility with him, so its shattering could not be considered an unacceptable loss. The next selection cycle was only about two mission cycles away from now...

He quickly weighed the gains and losses in his mind and soothed his mindset.

His breathing was slightly disordered, and Shiyu was also very clear that his current state of thinking itself manifested his "fear."

He looked at Saitama, who was showing an expression he had never seen in either anime or mission worlds. That fear, which only appeared when life and death were beyond one's control, had appeared again after a long time.

On Saitama... some kind of change had occurred...

"Hehe, Mr. Saitama, we..."

Saitama moved his right hand backward. Shiyu's breathing stopped instinctively. Divine power circulated within his body, and in just a moment, a large amount of the fear he radiated, mixed with the fear generated by the people of Z City witnessing his divine finger descend twice, began to be absorbed by him.

As a 【True Word God Clan】 Bloodline that he had spent an S-rank Singularity to improve at the Goddess, he did not need to rely on the emotions of human prayer, but could instead directly use human emotions to enhance his divine power.

But this kind of power could not give him much sense of security at this moment.

Saitama shook his arm, and the creaking sound produced by the friction of muscles and bones made the man in front of him, who was beginning to display a more powerful aura, take a step back.

"Are you afraid?"

"Is it because my actions exceeded your expectations?"

【Warning, ae21154911, your actions have caused the Special Plot Character Saitama to exhibit trans-dimensional characteristics, which will cause unpredictable effects on this world. Please stop contact immediately.】

【Warning, ae21154911, please stay away from the Special Plot Character Saitama immediately.】

【Warning, ae21154911...】

Shiyu only glanced at it before moving his gaze away from the space panel. 【Black King】 was originally a kind of "bug" in the space, a Special Reincarnator that shouldn't exist.

Wanting such an existence to appear, having the space show such warning messages was naturally nothing.

It was just that right now...

He raised his hands in front of himself, and at the same time, his True Word divine power rose infinitely, ready to activate the True Immortal state at any time.

"Mr. Saitama, can you listen to my explanation?"

"You must also be longing for an opponent who can fight on equal terms, aren't you..."

His "talk-no-jutsu" hadn't fully begun before Saitama interrupted again. At this moment, Saitama displayed a rare oppressiveness.

"So you had to use this method to drag everyone in..."

Saitama's words didn't sound like a question, but more like he had finally received an answer.

But clearly, he didn't like this answer.

Saitama lifted his foot and took a step forward. He looked at Shiyu coldly, his right fist pulled back to his waist.

In this instant, a clear intent to kill appeared in Shiyu's mind. He released his divine power in an instant, his figure becoming gigantic within the divine power.

Saitama's punch had already been thrown.
