Chapter 504: The Coin that Pierced the Meteorite
Chapter 504: The Coin that Pierced the Meteorite
In City C, within the spacious halls of the Hero Association's branch office, a elderly man with white hair and beard, yet vibrant and full of energy, stood with his hands behind his back. He was Bang, the third-ranked S-Class hero, Silver Fang!
Bang took a few steps forward and suddenly turned his head, noticing two individuals entering through the main entrance. "Ah, it's young Genos and Saitama-san. I'm Bang, pleased to make your acquaintance."
"Hello there, sir," Saitama replied with a friendly wave. It was a pleasant change to meet someone who didn't refer to him as the 'Bald Cape'.
Ever since he'd acquired that moniker, everyone from the Association to civilians on the street had taken to calling him by that hero name. Each time he heard it, his face would darken as if strands of hair were falling out in response.
Hearing his actual name from Bang left a very positive first impression.
"The pleasure is mine," Genos replied politely, his eyes scanning Bang's body with a serious expression.
Silver Fang... This was an S-Class hero second only to Tornado and Blast, surpassing even Atomic Samurai in strength. A true powerhouse!
"Having Saitama-san here puts my mind at ease," Bang chuckled. "Aside from the three of us, none of the other S-Class heroes summoned by the Association have shown up."
While he specialized in fighting humanoid monsters and could even defeat Dragon-level humanoid monsters if he got serious, preventing disasters like meteor strikes was not his forte.
Having Saitama and Genos here was definitely reassuring.
Especially Saitama.
Although he had been absent during the previous god-level threat, Bang had heard about how Saitama and the monster known as Lord Boros fought all the way into space, putting a stop to Boros' plans. That level of strength was inhuman!
"With me and my master here, that should be more than sufficient," Genos stated calmly, his expression unchanged.
If Saitama could handle a god-level threat, there wasn't a disaster in this world that he couldn't stop.
"Hahaha, that's a relief," Bang laughed. "Now, let's discuss how we're going to handle this situation..."
He walked towards the entrance and gazed up at the sky. "Saitama-san, I believe you should be able to shatter that meteorite, yes?"
Saitama looked up at the sky thoughtfully. "A meteorite... Shouldn't be a problem."
Bang nodded. "Good. In that case, Genos-kun and I will take care of the fragments after you shatter it. A meteorite of this size will still cause considerable damage when it breaks apart, so we must minimize the fallout as much as possible."
"Understood," Genos replied calmly.
Bang took a deep breath and, with his hands still behind his back, started walking outside. "Then let's get to it."
...
At the Crown Hotel, on the rooftop terrace, there was a beautiful garden with a stunning view. There was also a bar nearby, making it the perfect spot to stargaze at night.
Feng Ye stood by a flower bed at the highest point of the rooftop garden, his eyes fixed on the sky. He could see the glowing shadows of the meteorites drawing closer.
"I thought you weren't going to get involved?"
After a few seconds of silent observation, Feng Ye glanced at the direction of the Hero Association's branch office before turning back to Su Xue, who stood behind him.
Su Xue was now dressed in a form-fitting, dark-colored skirt that accentuated her perfect figure.
"But there's no need to run away, either," she continued, her eyes on the sky. "While I can't stop a disaster like this, as long as we aren't hit directly, I can shield us from the aftermath with my psychic powers. So, if you don't plan on leaving, I can ensure your safety with my abilities."
Hearing Su Xue's words, Feng Ye smiled gently and turned to her. "In that case, thank you for your protection."
"Just a verbal thanks is a little insincere," Su Xue said, looking at Feng Ye. "If you truly appreciate it, why not join my team, the Su Xue Corps?"
She had made up her mind—she would get Feng Ye to join her team no matter what!
Feng Ye smiled nonchalantly. "The Su Xue Corps isn't really my style. How about you join my group, the Thunder God Corps, instead?"
"The Thunder God Corps?" Su Xue furrowed her brows, a puzzled look on her face. "Your organization? I've never heard of it."
"That's because my group doesn't have any B-Class heroes," Feng Ye replied casually.
Su Xue hesitated, a hint of suspicion in her eyes as she looked at Feng Ye. "Who else is in your group?"
"Including me, there are two and a half members," Feng Ye said, craning his neck to look up at the sky.
"Two and a half?" Su Xue asked, perplexed.
Seeing that Feng Ye didn't intend to explain further, she turned away. "So, it's basically just you. How about this, then? Merge your Thunder God Corps with my Su Xue Corps."
Feng Ye smiled but remained silent as he continued to gaze at the sky.
Su Xue, who was waiting for his response, suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat. She lifted her head to look at the sky, and her pupils contracted slightly.
Fubuki's expression changed.
The trajectory of the falling meteorite was heading straight towards the area where she and Feng Ye were located!
While she was confident in her ability to protect herself from the aftermath of the meteorite, it was different from facing a direct hit!
Only her sister, Tatsumaki, could withstand such a direct impact; it was beyond Fubuki's capabilities!
"Quick! Let's get out of here fast!"
Fubuki immediately took to the air, surrounded by her glowing light, and urged Feng Ye to leave with her.
But just then, her eyes caught a figure leaping into the sky from a distant building.
"That's..."
Fubuki's eyes narrowed as she recognized the figure rushing towards the meteorite. It was none other than the eighth-ranked S-Class hero, the Bald Cape - Saitama, the one who had stopped a god-level disaster!
Boom!!!
To Fubuki's amazement, Saitama rushed into the sky and threw a punch. Like a nuclear explosion, his fist smashed the falling meteorite, enveloped in terrifying might, into countless pieces, as if a bomb had detonated in the heavens!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a small number of meteorite fragments arced through the air, falling in all directions.
"Incinerate!"
"Flowing Rock-Crushing Fist!"
Genos and Bang acted in unison.
Genos spread his arms, shooting out two streams of fire towards the meteorite fragments. After destroying two chunks, he continued to pummel the others.
Bang, on the other hand, picked up a moderately sized rock and threw it with the force of his Flowing Rock-Crushing Fist towards the sky, colliding with a falling fragment. The impact shattered one piece into smaller rocks.
However, despite their combined efforts to deflect the fragments, the expressions on Genos and Bang's faces remained grave, showing no signs of relaxation.
They couldn't stop them all in time!
Although Saitama deliberately controlled his strength and shattered the meteorite into very small pieces, there were still at least two or three dozen fragments of considerable size, each carrying destructive power!
Before they could descend, Genos and Bang could only prevent the fragments closest to them from causing harm, but there were others they couldn't stop in time!
Even though the main body had been shattered and the impact greatly mitigated, the remaining fragments, each about a meter in diameter, still possessed substantial destructive power, enough to level buildings and crush vehicles.
"Incinerate... Full power!"
Genos shouted, no longer concerned about the cost of using too much energy. His flames erupted with increased intensity, sweeping away and annihilating countless meteorite fragments, as if he intended to paint the entire sky red.
"Oh ho, well done, Genos!"
Bang praised, his eyes fixed on the sky.
It's not enough!
There's one more that we can't make it in time!
Genos had no time to respond to Bang. His expression tightened as he looked towards the farthest distance. There, he saw a meteorite fragment with a diameter of more than ten meters had already fallen onto the top of a building.
At that distance, he was powerless to do anything without also endangering the building below.
Just as Genos retracted his flames and clenched his fists, a beam of light suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Sizzle!!!
It was a beam of concentrated lightning, shot from the top of a nearby building. Upon closer inspection, one could see arcs of electricity dancing within the beam.
At the very tip of the beam,
was a ten-yuan coin!
Driven by the lightning, the coin resembled a projectile fired from an electromagnetic cannon. It accurately struck the meteorite fragment, which was over ten meters in diameter and enveloped in flames.
Boom!!!
The coin penetrated the fragment, exiting from the other side, and trailed by a glowing arc of electricity, it arced through the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
The meteorite fragment, now riddled with cracks, exploded into countless pieces, showering the area with debris.
"That's..."
Genos was stunned, his eyes fixed on the direction of the beam.
His eyes narrowed, and the image quickly zoomed in, revealing two figures.
One of them, bathed in a glowing light, was a beautiful woman wearing a form-fitting dark-colored skirt. The other was a man in a white shirt, casually tossing a few coins with his left hand.
As if sensing Genos' scrutiny,
the man turned his head, his expression calm as he looked in Genos' direction. Their eyes met, and the man offered a slight smile.
"It's him, the 39th-ranked A-Class hero... No, the second-ranked A-Class hero, Thunder God!"
Genos' eyes flickered.
Bang walked over and looked towards Feng Ye's direction. "Oh ho, it seems we have other powerful helpers as well."
