Chapter 248: Baldy: This is the Secret to My Strength
Chapter 248: Baldy: This is the Secret to My Strength
Originally, Boros in his "Power Liberation" state had black skin and was adorned with blue, technological veins.
But at this moment, as another surge of energy erupted from his body, Boros' black skin instantly transformed into a pure white hue, and the blue veins turned into a vivid purple.
"Meteor Burst Form," this was Boros' ultimate trump card ability.
In this state, Boros would convert his internal energy into propulsion, thereby surpassing biological limits and achieving explosive speed, strength, and greatly enhanced destructive power.
Additionally, along with the enhancement of his physical attributes, he would also acquire an absurd regenerative ability. Even if his body were shattered, he could repair it in the blink of an instant!
"Boom——————!"
Boros, in his "Meteor Burst State," merely kicked the surface of the spaceship, and the immense force of that single kick caused the ten-kilometer-sized spacecraft to tilt!
His high-speed movement became so swift that he transformed into a bolt of lightning, tearing the spaceship in half from the top! As he rushed towards Saitama, seeing the latter's lack of movement, Boros didn't hesitate and punched directly towards Saitama's face.
Saitama managed to block this punch that created a sonic boom and even generated layers of shockwaves, but the overwhelming impact sent his body flying out of the atmosphere at high speed, out of Earth, and directly into the surface of the moon!
Yes, you heard that right. With a single punch in his Meteor Burst State, Baldy was knocked from Earth to the surface of the moon! In the entire One-Punch Man world, only Boros could break through planetary limitations.
However, even after punching Baldy to the moon, Boros still didn't feel a shred of excitement.
He could sense that even his full-power punch failed to effectively harm Saitama.
Although Saitama wasn't unscathed, the punch made Boros keenly aware of the gap between them.
After being punched to the moon's surface, Baldy's first thought wasn't about Boros' strength but the sudden realization that he couldn't breathe in outer space as a human.
But this was merely Baldy's preconceived notions about himself.
Having broken free from the "Restrictor," he appeared human externally, but in essence, he was no longer human.
Even without the need to breathe, Baldy should have been capable of it, but the suffocating feeling he experienced was solely because he still perceived himself as an ordinary human.
Saitama kicked off the moon's surface, creating a massive crater, and his body plummeted back towards Earth.
This punch from the heavens not only split the Dark Matter Pirates' spaceship in two but also pierced through Boros' body, who had intended to take the hit head-on.
With Boros' current speed, dodging Saitama's previous punch wouldn't have been difficult.
But Saitama stood his ground and took the punch, and if Boros had dodged it, how would he maintain his reputation as the Galactic Sovereign?
As it turned out, showing off came with a price. When Boros' punch clashed with Saitama's, prepared for a head-on collision, Boros' entire arm twisted at an eerie angle, and under the impact, half of his body was punched straight through! If it had been any other monster, they might have died from such severe injuries.
But such a near-fatal injury, Boros, in just a few fleeting moments, completely regenerated his body.
However, regenerative abilities are not invincible. Although those with regenerative abilities have more robust vitality, there is no such thing as power created out of thin air.
When regenerating his broken body, Boros also consumed a certain amount of his energy.
"How did you gain such immense power?"
Despite his reluctance to admit it, after several hundred exchanges, Boros was almost certain that Saitama's strength exceeded his own.
Moreover, Saitama's strength was not just a little bit greater; perhaps it couldn't be considered a different dimension of power, but the gap was something Boros couldn't make up for at the moment.
Boros attributed his strength to his racial traits and the harsh environment of his birth planet, which granted him unparalleled physical abilities, and he was the cream of the crop.
Additionally, Boros had spent years drifting in space, fighting countless strong enemies and emerging victorious, which contributed to his current power. But how did Saitama become so strong? Saitama was just a native of a low-civilization planet, with limited horizons and a lifespan that was a mere fraction of Boros', an alien from space.
Without strong enemies to challenge him, and in such a short time, how did Saitama become so powerful?
"Don't look down on people, okay? I became this strong through what could be called devilish training."
Immediately after, Baldy generously shared his secret to becoming powerful with Boros...
And just as expected, Boros' expression now mirrored Genos' from before.
However, unlike Genos, Boros didn't think Saitama was lying to him, as he believed a warrior as powerful as Saitama wouldn't waste time teasing him over something trivial.
Confirming the truth in Saitama's words, Boros not only questioned his own strength but also his entire worldview...
Boros had always believed he was a naturally gifted being, but now he understood the meaning of 'there are always people beyond people, and there are always heavens beyond heavens.'
He had constantly fought and trained for years, relying on his racial talents, to achieve his current strength.
But the one who easily defeated him, his path to strength, was merely through some simple physical training. If you knew this, what would you feel?
The truth is often cruel and harsh, just like Boros' current situation, regretting asking such a question.
Although fairness is non-existent in this world, this was too unfair!
Boros, furious and laughing, now understood everything and directly flew into the air, extending his hands to gather immense energy.
"I haven't lost yet. This is one of my ace abilities and my strongest technique.
If you can block it, then go ahead and try. But if you choose to dodge, this move can pierce the core of this planet and even destroy it!"
If the Earth were destroyed, it's uncertain if others could survive, but Boros, with his high-speed regeneration and ability to breathe in space, would definitely survive.
