Chapter 524: You're Up Next!
"The enemy leader has been suppressed!"
"As expected of Mr. Saitama, he's truly powerful... He might be the only hero who has truly come close to King in strength!"
Within the Hero Association headquarters, numerous staff members and executives were gathered around a projection on the screen.
The projection showed the top of the spaceship, a feed sent by the young prodigy, and the headquarters was temporarily sharing his visual equipment.
"Mr. Sitch."
"Given the current situation, should we broadcast it outward?"
A staff member asked Sitch, the association's executive, in a low voice.
Due to the sudden and overwhelming appearance of Boros' spaceship, its sheer size made it visible across A-City. As a result, the Association had not synchronized a live broadcast of the previous battle.
Now that the battlefield had shifted to the top of the spaceship and it appeared to be the final confrontation, with Saitama clearly holding the upper hand, broadcasting it would help boost the Hero Association's popularity and support among the citizens.
"Yes, let's broadcast it," Sitch replied, briefly pondering the situation displayed on the screen before nodding his head. His judgment aligned with that of the staff.
Upon receiving the directive, the association staff immediately sprang into action, quickly broadcasting the live feed of the battle atop the spaceship to various cities within the human habitation zone.
It was around this time that Boros unleashed his full power!
"Meteor Blast!"
In his strongest state, he not only completely unleashed his energy but also caused it to erupt within his body to its absolute limit, pushing himself to a level that transcended the very concept of biological organisms!
Facing Boros in his Meteor Blast state, Tornado of Terror, who was floating several meters in the air, couldn't help but gasp.
So strong!
For the first time, she truly realized the extent of Boros' power. In this state, he was far more formidable than before, and the oppressive force of his energy was on an entirely different level!
She even had a premonition that her psychic powers might be ineffective against Boros in his current state!
Boros, in this form, could instantly kill her!
A thought flashed through Tornado's mind, and she looked down at Feng Ye, only to find him glancing upward as well.
Their gazes met briefly.
Then, Tornado seemed to think of something, a hint of pink appearing on her cheeks as she glared at Feng Ye.
"What are you looking at?! You pervert!"
"Please refrain from flying above me and saying incomprehensible things. Also, I'm not a pervert; I'm simply not interested in such a tiny body."
Feng Ye replied expressionlessly.
The first half of his statement was fine, but the latter half caused Tornado to explode with fury, as she absolutely could not tolerate being referred to as small!
With her hair standing on end, Tornado descended from the air, not using her psychic powers, but instead landing on Feng Ye's back and pounding his head with her tiny fists.
"Then why were you looking up?! Jerk! Idiot! Perverted electric man!"
"..."
Feng Ye rolled his eyes. He felt that it had been a long time since he'd had the urge to bully someone, but that urge was now growing stronger.
Nonetheless, Saitama's battle with Boros captured most of Feng Ye's attention, drawing his gaze back to the fight.
Tornado's tiny fists slowed, and she, too, turned her gaze toward the direction of Boros and Saitama's clash, her eyes filled with a determined light.
All that could be seen was a bright purple light, pulling a yellow glow with it, flashing incessantly across the horizon.
Wherever it passed...
Various protrusions on the spaceship were shattered upon impact, and due to the collision at such an extreme supersonic speed, unimaginable heat was generated, melting the metal into molten iron!
The mere friction with the air was enough to melt the advanced alloy that comprised the exterior of the spaceship, capable of traversing the universe, and the force of the head-on collision was even more unimaginable.
One strike... was enough to destroy a city!
The largest regional division in the One-Punch Man world is a city, and each city is far larger than the large islands in the One Piece world!
In other words, in his Meteor Blast state, Boros could have destroyed the surface of the Earth if no one had stopped him!
"What terrifying power..."
"...It looks like Mr. Saitama is unable to fight back..."
A bead of cold sweat formed on the Child Emperor's forehead, and his expression turned anxious. At this moment, Boros' speed seemed unbelievably terrifying to him.
He retracted his previous conclusion.
Boros' disaster level was indeed God-level!
Even Saitama, who had once suppressed and knocked out Lord Boros, seemed to be suppressed by Boros at this moment!
Not only the Child Emperor, but the executives of the Hero Association, their staff, and the civilians in other cities who were watching the live broadcast—their gazes all shook intensely.
Boom! Boom!!
The intense battle raged on.
"Unleash all your energy and attain a speed far beyond the limits of biological organisms! Explode with limitless energy!!"
Boros roared, dragging Saitama across the top of the spaceship before tossing him into the sky. He then pursued, concentrating all his power into a knee strike that landed squarely on Saitama's chest and abdomen.
Boom!!!
This strike seemed to dim the entire world.
A streak of lightning could be seen, arcing from the point of impact between Boros' knee and Saitama's body, spreading out in a circular pattern. This was caused by the extreme speed and force of the collision, agitating and disrupting the electrons in the air, resulting in a visible arc of electricity!
Bang!!
Saitama, having borne the brunt of this attack, was sent flying like a cannonball, punched straight up into the sky by Boros, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Looking up, one could only see the azure blue sky, with no trace of Saitama to be found.
"..."
Feng Ye shook his head as he witnessed this scene.
He felt as if a few lines of data had flashed before his eyes—HP -1, HP -1, HP -1...
As expected, Boros' attacks were ineffective, just as predicted. They looked flashy but were ultimately useless.
Saitama could withstand all of Boros' attacks and even finish him off with a raise of his hand, but he didn't do so because he rarely encountered an opponent who could withstand his normal punches. Saitama was reluctant to end the fight and wanted to prolong the experience.
Feng Ye could somewhat understand Saitama's sentiment.
"Huff... Huff..."
After sending Saitama flying out of the Earth and into space with that strike, Boros panted heavily a couple of times before turning to face Feng Ye. "Then, you're up next!"
