Chapter 552: Feng Ye: This is the True Ending
BOOM!!!
The sound of an explosion reverberated from outer space.
Even though there was barely any air in space, the clash between the Divine Tree Pain and Saitama produced an explosion so intense that even the sparse interstellar dust was set into motion, creating a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the Earth's atmosphere.
For a brief moment, the figures of Divine Tree Pain and Saitama froze in space.
BOOM!!
Divine Tree Pain's body was sent flying backward.
Even with his full strength, he could only match Serious Headbutt, but against Saitama, who exhibited even greater power, he was still lacking. It was akin to a sixty-kilogram boxer going up against a hundred-kilogram opponent—a fundamental disparity that was challenging to overcome with technique alone.
However, this gap had narrowed significantly. Although Divine Tree Pain was sent flying from one side of the Earth to the other, his arms only bent slightly and didn't explode into pieces.
This indicated that Saitama's strength was no longer overwhelmingly superior.
It aligned with Feng Ye's assessment as well.
"Huff..."
Divine Tree Pain exhaled in space as Saitama's previous punch accelerated the evolution of his cells, pushing them to another small step in their progression.
With a wave of his hand, the brown Evolution Seeking Jade appeared in his palm. It swiftly melted and transformed into a wooden-looking tachi.
Swish!
Holding the tachi, Divine Tree Pain stepped forward and vanished into a spatial passage, reappearing directly in front of Saitama.
The tachi in his hand flashed, and countless intersecting sword shadows appeared, raining down on Saitama.
This time, he even employed the swordsmanship of the Great Swordsman!
"..."
Saitama, having just been punched to Mars, calmed his anger as he gazed at the countless descending sword lights. He inhaled the radiation in space, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Countless fist shadows materialized and clashed with the sword lights.
Serious—
Consecutive Normal Punches!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Each punch possessed enough power to destroy the Earth, and when they collided in near-Earth space, they resembled countless suns exploding in space. Blinding lights and deafening booms spread in all directions, causing several satellites within a few hundred thousand miles to silently shatter and disintegrate.
The entire atmosphere of the Earth seemed like a balloon being slapped repeatedly, trembling uncontrollably like a desperate girl trapped in a dire situation.
"Just as I expected," Divine Tree Pain muttered as he continued to swing his sword, clashing with Saitama's fists.
As he swung his sword, the cells in his body evolved, and the power of his slashes intensified. However, the punches thrown by Saitama also grew stronger with each blow!
This closely matched Feng Ye's assessment.
Saitama was someone who had permanently broken through his limiter, possessing the power of infinite evolution. He was like a cell that had transformed into a cancer cell, gaining the ability to reproduce indefinitely.
He was evolving and growing stronger with every moment, and that was the source of his invincible power. Each day, he became more formidable than the last.
Divine Tree Pain's evolutionary power was evidently inferior to Saitama's.
Once the cells in his body had exhausted their evolutionary potential, Divine Tree Pain's growth would cease, while Saitama would continue to grow stronger bit by bit.
The countless fist shadows eventually overwhelmed the sword lights, and Saitama's punch landed on Divine Tree Pain's cheek, sending him flying down toward the Earth.
BOOM!!!
Divine Tree Pain streaked across the sky like a bolt of light, piercing through the trembling atmosphere before finally landing precisely in the uninhabited area of Z-City with a loud crash, sending debris and dust flying in all directions.
And at that moment...
BOOM!!
Saitama also fell from the sky, landing not far away. His impact caused the ground to cave in slightly, but he stood firm and leaped out of the newly formed pit.
"...It's over," Tornado said, taking in the scene before her. She turned to Feng Ye, her eyes narrowing as she added, "It seems that bald... I mean, Saitama, is indeed stronger."
She paused, her gaze intense as she studied Feng Ye, her brother whose strength had always been an enigma to her. "How do your powers compare to theirs?" she asked softly.
Feng Ye smiled gently. "If we're talking purely about strength, I'm a bit stronger than the weaker one and a bit weaker than the stronger one. But that's not entirely accurate."
Tornado: "Hmm?"
Feng Ye's eyes shifted towards Saitama and Divine Tree Pain, a faint golden light dancing in their depths. "Because... the one who is weaker than me doesn't truly exist."
Tornado's expression froze, a hint of surprise flitting across her features. "What do you mean, he doesn't exist?" she asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"You'll see in a moment," Feng Ye replied with a soft smile.
His eyes reflected a golden, illusory clock, each tick marking the passage of time and the layers of countless possible futures. Among these futures, Feng Ye had found the one he sought.
And then...
He took a step forward and vanished without a trace.
"Feng Ye?" Tornado blinked, taken aback. She quickly scanned the surroundings and then looked down to see Feng Ye standing on the ground below.
Divine Tree Pain, who had been lying in the crater, pushed himself up with his hands and climbed out of the pit. He walked over to Feng Ye and stood at his left side, both of them facing Saitama.
"Father will finally attain the power of evolution," a respectful voice, belonging to Lilith, echoed in the sky. Unnoticed, she had appeared not far from Tornado. Her eyes were fixed on the scene below as she spoke.
Tornado's first instinct upon hearing Lilith's voice was to raise her guard. She unconsciously erected a telekinetic barrier around herself, but as she heard Lilith's words, she paused, her expression a mix of surprise and suspicion.
As she looked down...
Divine Tree Pain approached Feng Ye, eventually stopping at his left side. Together, they faced Saitama.
"...Hmm?" Saitama furrowed his brow, a question in his eyes as he halted his steps.
Feng Ye extended his left hand towards Divine Tree Pain and smiled gently at Saitama. "A well-crafted script often includes a plot twist at the end, doesn't it?"
BOOM!!
A cloud of white smoke erupted, and Divine Tree Pain's body transformed into a blinding white light that surged towards Feng Ye's outstretched hand. It flowed into Feng Ye's body and then disappeared without a trace.
"This," Feng Ye said as he lowered his hand and clenched it into a loose fist, "is the true ending."
In the next instant, endless radiant white light erupted from Feng Ye's body, engulfing him and illuminating the entire world.
