Chapter 489: I Acknowledge You as the Strongest!
Chapter 489: I Acknowledge You as the Strongest!
An unknown amount of time passed.
The S-Class heroes and the members of the Hero Association, who had been immersed in shock, slowly began to regain their senses. They turned their gaze towards the unwavering figure of Saitama, but their thoughts remained muddled and chaotic.
It was as if their brains had crashed like a computer, unable to process the sheer magnitude of Saitama's strength. What they had just witnessed transcended their comprehension.
The most powerful weapon known to human technology was the nuclear bomb, capable of destroying a city at most. Even if all of them were deployed, they could only ravage the Earth's surface, unable to inflict true harm on the planet itself. Given enough time, everything would revert to its original state.
However...
Whether it was Saitama or the Ten-Tails, the power they exhibited was capable of annihilating the Earth.
Feng Ye's Golden Reincarnation Blast was strong enough to slice a third of the planet like a watermelon, and Saitama's serious punch, if landed on the Earth's surface, could pierce through the entire planet! This level of power was beyond the understanding of ordinary humans, and in the face of such might, even S-Class heroes were not much different from regular people.
"Is... is it over?"
In the underground lair of the Monster Association, Psykos murmured, her eyes vacant and her voice hollow.
The existence of a hero as unbelievably powerful as Saitama, a secret weapon of the Hero Association, rendered the disaster level of 'God' seemingly meaningless.
The 'God' disaster level indicated a crisis that could bring about the end of all humanity. But with heroes like Saitama among humankind, there could be no true 'God'-level threat—even though the power displayed by the Ten-Tails far surpassed the concept of Dragon-level.
However...
Just as Psykos was starting to snap out of her daze, her eyes widened in astonishment once more.
On the screen, she witnessed the upper half of the Ten-Tails' body, which had been completely obliterated by Saitama, begin to writhe eerily. Like a lump of dough, the missing head and tail regenerated at a visible rate, restoring to their original state in the blink of an eye.
"You are truly strong..."
Saitama lowered his fist, offering his third acknowledgment of his opponent's strength.
He had encountered monsters in the past that could withstand his normal punches, but this was the first time he had come across an entity that could take his serious punch and still regenerate.
Feng Ye, controlling the body of the Ten-Tails, looked down at Saitama and said, "It seems this form isn't enough to make you go all out."
Saitama replied with a hint of surprise, "Oh? You have an even stronger form?"
Feng Ye gave a wry smile and said, "It's a bit unfortunate that I can't display my full power right now, but since we've come this far, we might as well have a proper fight first. Let's take this to another battlefield."
As his words trailed off...
Feng Ye, manipulating the Ten-Tails, extended its massive hand. A white tendril shot out from its fingertip and wrapped around Saitama's body, binding him tightly.
Saitama made no attempt to break free. Instead, he looked at Feng Ye curiously and asked, "Another battlefield?"
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Feng Ye, having bound Saitama with the white tendril, suddenly swung him around and flung him into the sky.
Saitama, not exerting any force to break free, was sent soaring like a meteor. In an instant, he shot through the clouds and disappeared from view.
Feng Ye, controlling the Ten-Tails, also looked up at the sky. The massive body took flight, transforming into a streak of light that chased after Saitama.
Troposphere...
Stratosphere...
Earth's Satellite Orbit...
Saitama's body streaked across the sky like a meteor, accidentally colliding with an artificial satellite taking images of the Earth. The impact shattered the satellite, but Saitama continued on his trajectory, unfazed and showing no signs of slowing down.
Moon's Orbit...
Earth's Orbit...
Mars' Orbit...
After consecutively passing through the orbits of the Moon and the Earth, the immense kinetic energy generated by the Ten-Tails' throw gradually diminished. Saitama finally crashed into the asteroid belt, smashing through seven or eight massive asteroids before coming to a stop on one of them.
Feng Ye, controlling the Ten-Tails, crashed into the asteroid belt, smashing dozens of nearby asteroids to pieces and turning them into countless specks of dust that filled the area.
"This place will do."
After barely creating a small area of 'air' to propagate sound, Feng Ye withdrew his gaze from Saitama.
Saitama opened his mouth, but no sound came out. However, Feng Ye could read his lips.
Saitama's forehead sported a cross-shaped vein: "Don't change the battlefield to a place like this on your own! Holding my breath for too long will cause hair loss!"
Feng Ye: "..."
After a brief pause, the battle erupted once more.
BOOM!!!
Countless asteroids began to explode one after the other.
In the direction of Earth, the satellites orbiting the planet, as well as those in Mars' orbit, began to turn towards the explosion after a brief moment of inactivity, capturing the scene.
In the vastness of space, even the enormous body of the Ten-Tails seemed minuscule. However, each of Saitama and Feng Ye's attacks was powerful enough to destroy the Earth, creating immense disturbances in the nearby orbits.
The sheer magnitude of their battle easily attracted the attention of the satellites, which promptly locked onto the Ten-Tails and Saitama, transmitting the footage back to Earth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The asteroid belt was in a state of collapse.
While the asteroids here were densely packed, the largest among them was no bigger than the moon. The Ten-Tails, controlled by Feng Ye, could easily shatter them, not to mention Saitama.
In their battle, countless asteroids were continuously pulverized, causing the entire asteroid belt to resemble an exploding inferno.
Back on Earth.
Whether they were the heroes of the Hero Association or ordinary people, those who witnessed the footage transmitted by the satellites had gone numb.
Everyone wore blank and stiff expressions, devoid of any emotion. Only a select few had twitching eyes.
Finally.
After about an hour.
Saitama lowered his fist and looked at the Ten-Tails. "Among all the monsters I've faced, none have been stronger than you," he said, his face expressionless.
Feng Ye, manipulating the Ten-Tails, came to a halt. His voice reverberated through the interstellar space filled with the dust of shattered asteroids, sounding majestic and imposing, "Among all the people I've encountered, none could surpass you in physical combat... I acknowledge you as the strongest!"
Lacking a worthy opponent was a lonely existence.
After many years, Feng Ye had finally met someone who could match him in strength and even surpass him. This encounter reignited his long-dormant passion and rekindled the human emotions of fervor and enthusiasm within him.
The impact of this battle on him was immense and positive, and it seemed likely that he wouldn't experience any loss of human emotions for a long time.
Saitama stared at Feng Ye expressionlessly and lowered his fist. "When are you going to use your stronger form?"
"Next time, definitely next time," Feng Ye replied.
Controlling the Ten-Tails' body, Feng Ye took to the skies. He looked at Saitama and smiled gently, "The timing was a bit off this time. Next time... let's dance to our heart's content."
As his words trailed off, a golden glint flashed in his eyes, and the massive body of the Ten-Tails vanished in the blink of an eye.
Saitama watched the Ten-Tails disappear, floating in the emptiness of space. He turned his head to gaze at the vast, empty void and sank into thought.
Now...
How was he supposed to get back to Earth?!
