Chapter 948: The Protagonist's Sacrifice, Unmatched Power?
Chapter 948: The Protagonist's Sacrifice, Unmatched Power?
In the aftermath of the explosion, Night City's remains were flung out from the smoke and debris.
As the Hero Association and Monster Association members witnessed this through the projection formed by the superpower "Thousand Mile Eye," they were all left stunned.
Night City, who emerged from the smoke, appeared to be in a dire state, looking utterly disheveled... no, it was more like a pitiful sight.
The lower half of his body had completely vanished, and even the remaining upper half, including the left side of his heart, was thoroughly carbonized by the high temperatures.
Through the superpower projection, Sexes clenched his fist upon seeing Night City's tragic state, but just as he was about to take a step forward, the Monster Association officials beside him firmly held him back.
"Sir Sexes, please don't act rashly. Although it's a pity that 'White Reaper' died as a spy and a crucial asset, he was a human monster you created. Even if he's gone, you can always make another. But if you were to perish, then everything would be lost!"
After the previous tumultuous events, the monsters of the Monster Association now regarded Sexes as their pillar of strength.
Furthermore, due to past experiences, the monsters realized that while their association could do without formidable power, they couldn't afford to lose their brains. When they witnessed Night City's strength and abilities earlier, Sexes had believed that with Night City's assistance, even in the face of a desolate future, they might have a chance to prevail. But now...
'No, I won't let him die just like that! Even if I have to gather his remains and turn him into a monster, I will resurrect him!'
On the other side, within the Hero Association, upon seeing Night City's current state in the projection, Hellblizzard couldn't contain herself and was determined to go to City Z's battle zone to retrieve Night City.
However, the commotion caused by Hungry Lang Great Snake and Night City's previous battle was witnessed by everyone, and it was evident that it was far beyond Dragon-Class level.
Hellblizzard, despite her improved strength compared to before, would be no different from seeking death if she were to enter their battle zone with her current abilities.
"Hellblizzard, although it's unfortunate, that guy might be beyond saving. Even if you bring back his remains, we are powerless.
If he's someone important to you, he wouldn't want to see you put yourself in danger at this moment."
The usually haughty and headstrong Tornado was rarely this gentle when speaking to her sister.
Despite her audacious demeanor, even the Trembling Cyclone couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Night City's actions. She also found his "death" to be quite regrettable and saddening.
However, under the current circumstances, it was impossible for her to let Hellblizzard take such a risk, as it would be no different from sending her to her death.
Moreover, as Tornado had stated, Night City's remains were not only missing his lower body but even his heart was completely carbonized. Such severe injuries would be impossible to survive, even for monsters with robust vitality, let alone humans.
"Even if only a single finger of his remains, I will bring him back!
Don't forget that if it weren't for Night City, all of you would have been dead by now! Compared to you, he is the true hero, and even in death, he deserves the treatment befitting a hero!"
Facing Hellblizzard's hysterical outburst, the Hero Association members felt ashamed and lowered their heads. Tornado, who usually could easily suppress Hellblizzard with her "elder sister's authority," found herself unable to refute Hellblizzard's cries.
"I understand, in that case, I'll go retrieve the remains of Night City.
With my strength, even if I can't defeat those monsters, self-preservation should be more than enough.
Before that, if you take any more reckless actions, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As a precaution, Long Juan first used her superpowers to suppress the struggling Hellblizzard, and then flew towards the location of Night City, intending to retrieve its remains.
However, just as she and Sachs began to act, they were astonished to find that Z City, which had just calmed down, was once again violently shaking.
Being Dragon-Rank existences themselves, Long Juan and Sachs could vaguely sense an incredibly powerful aura erupting from the center of Z City.
Despite the extreme distance, they could feel that this powerful aura was filled with towering rage, and merely being enveloped by it made their skin crawl with tremors!
"Night City———!"
As Night City's shattered remains flew out of the smoke, not only did Hellblizzard and Sachs witness it, but Saitama, who was also at the heart of the battle, naturally saw it as well.
To be fair, since Saitama went bald, his emotional capacity had indeed weakened. Although he was aware of this, he couldn't change anything by himself.
It wasn't until he met this good-for-nothing friend, Night City, that Saitama realized his originally weak emotional capacity could gradually return to normal.
Although they argued a little every day and had a big fight every three days, and each time it was over some nonsensical matter, even leading to physical altercations, compared to the dull life and training he had years ago, Saitama quite enjoyed his current life.
For Saitama, who had almost no social life, Night City and Genos were indeed considered friends.
See the original text in the sixth 9@book/bar!
But just now, his best friend, in order to help him withstand a fatal attack, was directly blasted into remains!
Saitama knew that Night City, like himself, was just an "ordinary person," not a modified being like Genos who could survive with just his head.
So when he saw Night City being killed instantly by the Gaia Cannon of Hungry Wolf Great Snake, Saitama felt an intense surge of anger for the first time in many years!
"You bastard, this time I'm truly angry. I'm going to kill you!"
Originally feeling sorry that the Gaia Cannon had taken out Night City instead of Saitama's Hungry Wolf Great Snake, and considering whether to drain the Earth's core energy and fire another shot, the enraged baldy vanished from their sight in an instant.
Covering hundreds of meters in an instant, Saitama delivered an uppercut to the jaw of Hungry Wolf Great Snake, who hadn't even reacted yet, sending him flying out of Earth and into outer space!
"Boom——————!"
Accompanied by a violent earthquake throughout Z City, Saitama left a massive crater on the ground with his feet planted firmly, and in the next second, his body completely ignored Earth's gravity, penetrating the atmosphere and chasing after Hungry Wolf Great Snake, who had been blasted into outer space!
"Thud——————!"
Enduring the heavy blow, Hungry Wolf Great Snake spat out bitter water, still unsure of what had just happened, and in the next moment, he was blasted from space back down to the ground.
