Chapter 145: Something's Wrong!!
Planet 328
Solar Sperm was currently reclining with his hands behind his head, maintaining a casual, horizontal posture while being enveloped by rings of white airwaves.
These weren't just airwaves—they were shattered sonic booms.
Even on the surface of this planet with ten times Earth's gravity, Solar Sperm could comfortably maintain speeds dozens of times the speed of sound.
Having devoured six portions of Divine Power—possessing roughly 30% of GOD's total essence—and having absorbed the life force of the other four Dragon-level Executives, Solar Sperm had thoroughly transcended into the God-level tier.
In contrast, Blast, who sat at the very threshold of God-level—essentially the gatekeeper of the tier—could only feel a crushing sense of powerlessness.
Realizing that even his spatial jumps couldn't shake Solar Sperm, Blast stopped his movement. He used his gravity manipulation to hover in mid-air, his brow furrowed in a deep, grim line.
Seeing Blast stop, Solar Sperm drifted to a stop just a few meters away. The roaring golden flames on his body transformed into a violent heatwave that washed over the hero.
Even without intentionally releasing his energy, the sheer radiant heat from Solar Sperm's life force was enough to raise the ambient temperature by thousands of degrees, a heat lethal to almost any living organism.
Without hesitation, Blast clenched his fists. He manipulated gravity to boost his speed to its absolute limit. Then, he compressed ten thousand times normal gravity into his knuckles.
"20,000x Gravity Punch!!"
This was Blast's true limit. He could only sustain this level of gravitational compression on the surface of his fists; any more, and his own body would collapse under the weight.
Sensing the potency of the strike, Solar Sperm raised an eyebrow. A flicker of genuine interest appeared in his eyes.
"Not bad. At least among the humans I know, you are the second strongest. You should be proud of that."
The moment the words left his mouth, Solar Sperm moved. Thousands of fists, wreathed in eternal golden flames, struck with a velocity approaching the speed of light.
Blast's 20,000x Gravity Punch was instantly drowned in a sea of fist shadows. Solar Sperm's abyss-like Divine Power pulverized Blast's gravitational aura.
"ARGH!"
Agonizing pain erupted from every inch of Blast's body. His sturdy silver battle-armor shattered instantly. Like a broken doll, he was sent hurtling backward, smashing viciously into the planetary crust.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
The moment he hit the soil, the massive kinetic energy he was forced to carry was dumped into the ground.
The entire planet shuddered. Torrents of magma erupted from the fissures on the surface. A catastrophic earthquake rippled across the globe.
The ground buckled, magma roared, the sky seemed to fall, and space itself began to crack.
Blast lay battered and broken at the center of a crater nearly a kilometer wide, unable to stop himself from coughing up lungfuls of blood.
If he hadn't used his spatial power to divert most of the impact at the last millisecond, he would have been turned into a red mist on the spot.
Solar Sperm flickered and appeared before the fallen hero. Looking down at his miserable state, the monster's grin widened.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So this is the legendary 'S-Class Rank 1' mysterious powerhouse? Not much of a challenge, is he? Two punches and you're down."
Solar Sperm stood up straight and threw a punch toward the sky.
A violent shockwave erupted. The destructive energy literally tore a hole in the fabric of space, causing it to shatter like glass.
Bad news! He's opening a spatial tunnel!
Seeing this, Blast's pupils constricted. Alarm bells rang in his head.
The strength of this Divine Messenger was beyond his wildest nightmares. If this monster returned to Earth, the human race would be systematically slaughtered.
In his mind, while the other S-Class heroes each had their unique strengths, even their combined power wouldn't be enough to stall the entity standing before him.
Blast tried to intervene, but the moment the thought formed, Solar Sperm glanced at him.
"What are you planning?"
The monster casually pointed a finger. A beam of compressed energy shot from his fingertip, piercing through both of Blast's legs, instantly crippling him.
Looking at the broken Blast, Solar Sperm turned his head in disdain. His figure began to fade into the jagged spatial tunnel he had carved. A final sentence drifted back into the atmosphere:
"I won't kill you. You're one of the few humans who actually provided me with some amusement. Besides, you aren't worthy of being killed by me—you're too weak. I am the Strongest. HAHAHAHA!!"
The Solar System
In the vast, lonely void of the universe, a massive star—a perpetual engine of nuclear fusion—floated silently, radiating light and heat.
The warmth of this star illuminated the planets orbiting it. This was the heart of the system: the Sun.
At a distance of 50,000 kilometers from the Sun, a spatial rift quietly opened.
The rift only lasted for two seconds before beginning to seal itself. Within a blink, it had shrunk to a mere sliver.
"Eh?!"
Unexpectedly, a shout of confusion came from inside the rift.
In the next heartbeat, a pair of hands wearing cheap red rubber gloves grabbed the top and bottom edges of the sliver, bracing against them. Then, they pulled.
SHATTER!
With a sound like breaking glass, the hands' owner—the Bald Demon, Saitama—climbed out.
He turned his head and squinted at the scorching, brilliant star. A smile slowly spread across his face.
"I think that's the Sun... I'm back in the Solar System?"
Saitama gazed into the distance. His vision, which far exceeded human limits, quickly locked onto a vibrant blue planet.
Found it. Earth!
Saitama decisively assumed a breaststroke position. With a powerful kick of his legs against the void of space, he began hurtling toward Earth at sub-light speed.
At the same time, inside the Dimensional Space, GOD's heart gave a sudden, violent jolt. An ominous feeling washed over Him.
Something was wrong!!
