Chapter 898

Fourth Hokage: "Too realistic."

Bofengshui Sect leader sighed deeply; no matter who one might be, Master Yu Qiyu could be described as an enemy that left them utterly despairing.

"……So, how much longer are you all going to keep chatting?"

His face remained expressionless, arms crossed, surveying the utterly destroyed headquarters of the Xiongxie Society.

He stood in confrontation with the powerful enemy before him.

This calmness even steadied the heart of the nearby S-level hero.

But in truth, his heart was panicking like hell.

Oh my god, why hasn't the guild's support arrived yet? Even though he's grown strong enough now to carry the image of an S-level hero, he has absolutely nothing to do with the title "Strongest Man on Earth."

Su Xiao Xiao: "……The mission officially begins now!"

Su Han clicked to join the mission without the slightest hesitation; the next moment, a faint glow enveloped his body, and Su Han vanished instantly.

……The world of One Punch Man.

The headquarters of the Xiongxie Society had been utterly destroyed.

Tornado floated in midair via her psychic power, gazing with solemnity at the countless alien creatures descending from the extraterrestrial spaceship.

"Extraterrestrial invaders? This is the catastrophe that terrified the Prophet Master into choking? Truly beyond imagination!"

"But! No matter how powerful this enemy may be, we must fight."

Genji Atom gripped the long sword at his waist, his gaze deep, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"You are… the strongest on this planet? If that's all you've got, you'll surely disappoint Lord Boros."

Gouryanshuu sneered, then suddenly waved his hand—thousands of rocks erupted from the ground, hurtling toward the S-level heroes.

"Psychokinesis!"

Tornado's eyes sharpened instantly; her psychic force surged out, shattering every single rock in a flash.

Meruzagaru was one of the three top combatants of the Cosmic Pirate Crew, possessing five hundred fifty heads; he stepped forward, and in a swift whoosh, appeared before Zhi.

A terrifying punch suddenly slammed toward Silver Fang Banggu.

"Incredible speed!"

Banggu's voice was low; he instantly activated Flowing Water.

A technique capable of severing waterfalls and shattering massive boulders.

Whoosh—he dodged Meruzagaru's punch and drove his fist straight into Meruzagaru's chest.

Instantly, Meruzagaru's chest was pierced clean through.

"Is that all…? No, this—"

Banggu had been puzzled a moment ago, but in the next instant, he sensed something—his pupils contracted sharply, and he reeled back violently.

Meruzagaru's chest instantly healed; his arms transformed into serrated blades, lashing toward Banggu.

Because Banggu retreated too swiftly, the devastating strike struck the ground, tearing it open instantly.

"Nice attack—it even made me feel a bit of pain! But this? Not enough… far from enough!"

Meruzagaru laughed wildly as he charged forward.

Gloribas, one of the three top combatants alongside Meruzagaru and Gouryanshuu, remained expressionless.

Though in the original story he was obliterated by a single punch from Yu Qiyu, that did not mean he was weak—in fact, quite the opposite; his strength was immense, fully deserving of the Dragon-class title.

Gloribas's expression hardened instantly; a torrent of corrosive acid breath blasted forth, drenching the onrushing Sexy Prisoner.

The Sexy Prisoner couldn't dodge it; he immediately felt searing pain, collapsed to his knees, and writhed on the ground, screaming.

"How could this be?"

Genji Atom's face turned grim; he growled, "Then let me be your opponent!"

His speed reached its peak—he stepped on the ground and instantly crossed infinite distance, appearing before Gloribas.

His face icy, he drew his sword in one swift motion.

"Die! Atomic Slash!"

A terrifying slash hurtled straight toward Gloribas.

"An attack beyond human imagination!"

Gloribas sidestepped the Atomic Slash, his body whooshing forward; Genji Atom kicked Gloribas's arm, and was flung backward toward the original battlefield.

"……What an unimaginable battle."

Child Emperor stood at the edge of the battlefield, watching this scene, taking two slow breaths.

After a moment of thought, Child Emperor turned to face him.

"Strongest Man on Earth! Aren't you going to act yet?"

His face expressionless, his words brief and direct: "The strongest has not yet appeared."

Child Emperor's pupils contracted sharply; he followed his gaze upward to the orbiting spaceship—and understood at once, his eyes revealing both realization and dread.

"Of course! I've been too narrow-minded."

Child Emperor fell into deep thought, his voice trembling slightly.

"These foes that have appeared so far are powerful, but clearly they are not the true leaders of this invasion force… Someone else is in charge! But if all this is true, just how strong could this… true leader be?"

The S-level heroes remaining beside him were now few and far between.

Most heroes had already entered the battlefield.

Super Alloy Darklight had been preparing to join the fight when he heard Child Emperor's words; his brows instantly knitted, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at Child Emperor.

"The true leader hasn't appeared yet? How could… Child Emperor, you must be joking."

Super Alloy Darklight found it hard to believe.

"Those three alone are already this strong… enough to be called Dragon-class monsters."

If none of them are the strongest..."

Boom!

With a deafening roar, time seemed to pause for a fleeting instant.

The figure of a one-eyed monster suddenly appeared in the arena.

No one noticed when it had arrived; it was as if, the moment they realized, it was already standing there.

At the very moment the one-eyed monster in battle armor appeared, a terrifying, oppressive aura spread outward, freezing the air.
