Not to mention a star level; they could wipe out an entire continent in one go, and one ultimate move could obliterate the planet you depend on for survival. With such a difference in power, what can you possibly fight them with? Your head?
Realizing that it was impossible, it was not surprising that the transmigrators began to look for a way out for themselves. However, on the contrary, a group of native heroes rushed towards the Hero Association.
Kicking open the door to the Hero Association president's office, Tornado slammed the documents in her hand onto the desk in front of him. Under his bewildered gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "We request a purge of evil from within the Hero Association!"
"evil?"
Considering that the association president in front of her was only recently appointed and might not know the truth about the M-sector incident, Tornado could only soften her tone as she explained their findings and conclusions in the M-sector—
"After confirmation by Silver Fang and Child Emperor, it has been proven that Sector M was not invaded by any Dragon-level monsters or mutants. That disaster was simply a staged event orchestrated by the second and third-ranked monsters. Their battle resulted in the needless deaths of millions of people!"
As he listened to Tornado's explanation and examined the evidence on the table, the association president's expression gradually changed, eventually turning into a knowing smile: "And then, what do you want to do?"
"doing what?"
Although the chairman's reaction was somewhat strange, Tatsumaki's extreme anger towards the second-place finisher left her little time to pay attention. Besides, this was the Hero Association, a gathering place for heroes—in this native's mind, the Hero Association was still humanity's last bulwark, and naturally, nothing could possibly threaten her. She immediately said without hesitation, "Of course, we should send all the heroes to punish that guy. Although he's neither a monster nor an anomaly, what he's done is more outrageous than any monster or mutation. If we let him stay here any longer, the Hero Association has no reason to exist."
"You're right."
The association president nodded, full of approval, and said, "This Hero Association really has no reason to exist anymore."
Even if Tatsumaki were slow to notice, she would have noticed something was wrong by then. Child Emperor, who was behind her, immediately reached out and pulled her away, using his superhuman strength—hundreds of times that of an ordinary person—to shield her. However, he regretted it the next moment.
An attack originating from the soul and spirit is something a powerful body cannot resist. In less than a second, his consciousness was lost and collapsed in the unfolding "sky" before him, turning into nourishment and disappearing into it.
Taking advantage of this opening, Tornado, Silver Fang, and Atomic Samurai successfully crashed through the wall and escaped. When they looked back, they realized what a terrifying thing they had unleashed...
"The Hero Association? The Monster Organization? It's time to end this childish joke—"
From the central building of the Hero Association, endless white mist spread in all directions, annihilating all life and matter along its path—as if a new "sky" had been born on the ground.
Even the "Association President," whose physical form had ceased to exist, uttered a thunderous, deep voice: "The light of the restored gods will envelop this entire world!"
----------segmentation----------
"here we go."
On the edge of the central area, the "Penguin" laboratory.
Setting down his slightly steaming coffee, the young man in a suit gave Lin Yi a confident smile: "I believe you've witnessed the power of our Restoration Cult. Let alone the mere world of *One-Punch Man*, even in the vast dimensional sea, the Restoration Cult is a renowned force. Now, Lord 'Faxiang' has decided to purify this world, including those ignorant chosen ones. They will all become sacrifices to the great 'Chief God' under the light of the Restoration Cult—"
His tone suddenly changed: "But you are different. You have the qualifications and value to become a member of the Church of the Apocalypse. As long as you are willing to accept the contract of the Church of the Apocalypse, I can wipe the slate clean of your previous attacks on members of the Church of the Apocalypse. Even what your three toys did can be forgiven. It is not a problem to take you away from this world that is about to be purified and go to the true location of the Church of the Apocalypse."
The ground trembled slightly. Even though one side was at the center and the other at the edge, the power unleashed by a city-level combat force at full strength was something that the fragile surface structure could not easily withstand.
As if enjoying the process, the well-dressed young man waited patiently: "So? What's your decision?"
Lin Yi tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and after a long while, he spoke with some regret: "To be honest, I do want to accept it. After all, being able to skip so many meaningless procedures and get to the core of the 'Resurrection God Cult' would save a lot of time."
"Oh? Then why not accept it? You should know that I took a great risk to persuade the higher-ups. If you give up this opportunity, you will die in this world."
"die?"
Looking at the transmigrator in surprise, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. It's just that the process of 'I ask you to take me' is much simpler than 'I ask you to take me'."
The time traveler's expression changed instantly in the next moment.
P.S.: Fourth update.
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 617 Counterattack
Central District, Hero Association.
As the "white mist" spread, the magnificent architectural complex, which once symbolized humanity's most impregnable defense, began to collapse from the center outwards. It had blocked countless attacks from outside monsters and mutants, but it collapsed easily under the impact from the inside.
Setting down Child Emperor's unconscious body, Tornado, with her head bowed, launched an attack.
The massive amount of psychic energy blasted a "hole" in the white fog, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye as the fog spread. Instead, it accelerated the erosion and spread of the surrounding area. As a last resort, the indigenous heroes had to suspend their attack on it and instead focus on rescuing those who could not escape in time.
Not every hero has the speed to throw tens of meters per second, and this white mist of unknown composition, capable of devouring everything, is spreading in all directions at this speed. Hundreds of people have already died in it before they could react, and the number of casualties is still increasing as the white mist spreads.
Observing the ridiculous struggles of the indigenous heroes from an unknowable perspective, the "Association President" let out a harsh laugh: "What's wrong? Didn't you keep saying you wanted to destroy evil? Now I'm right in front of you, why don't you destroy me?"
"Tsk!"
Unable to withstand the stimulation, the Atomic Warrior swung his sword with all his might. The blade, capable of cutting through anything, easily cleaved a cut more than ten meters long in the fog sea in front of him. However, this small length was not even a drop in the ocean compared to the fog sea, which had expanded to an area of nearly ten square kilometers. It simply vanished without a trace. Similarly, the silver fangs' fist technique had no effect whatsoever on this "monster" that did not even have a physical form.
This is also the norm when transmigrators fight against natives in many dimensional worlds. Compared to natives who can only rely on the original world system, transmigrators who can freely travel between many dimensional worlds and are backed by the "Main God Space" undoubtedly have many choices that natives cannot imagine. Moreover, any choice can quickly become a powerful fighting force with the accumulation of reward points, exerting an effect that is almost overwhelming to natives.
After several unsuccessful attacks, facing a white sea of mist that had expanded to nearly half the size of the Hero Association headquarters, Tornado made up her mind.
"Next, I'll compress this guy down to the size of an average person. Use that time to attack with all your might!"
Before Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai could react, he used his telekinesis to propel himself into the sky: "Ha————————!!!"
Amplifying all of her psychic power to its limit at once, and not just aiming at a single point as before, but distributing it evenly over a 20-square-kilometer area and compressing it little by little, was undoubtedly an overload for Tornado. However, faced with the deaths of Child Emperor and many innocent people, and the imminent fall of the Hero Association, which symbolized humanity's last bastion, this hero had no choice but to take such action.
With veins bulging on his forehead and blood trickling from his body under the pressure of his telekinetic energy, the trembling tornado roared, "You bastard, you'll see what I'm made of..."
His hands, which had been separated, clasped together tightly: "What—is a true hero!"
At the bottom, the ever-spreading fog came to a standstill. If anyone were at the edge, they could see the semi-transparent "barrier" at the edge of the fog, which looked like a materialized barrier. The white fog inside was churning but could not cross it at all. In fact, the space was being compressed as the "barrier" squeezed inward.
Twenty square kilometers... fifteen square kilometers... ten square kilometers...
Witnessing Tornado's heroic feat of turning the tide, even Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai, both S-rank heroes, expressed their admiration.
"Good job!"
"Only a tornado could defeat its opponent in this way."
"Get ready! Attack as soon as the thing inside reveals itself. We can't let Little Tornado's sacrifice be in vain!"
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
Following behind the "barrier," the Atomic Samurai, gripping his katana, raced toward the final point of compression, declaring firmly, "Whatever's inside, I'll cut it down for you."
Five square kilometers... three square kilometers... one square kilometer...
Finally, when the white mist was compressed to less than ten square meters, the highly compressed mist even condensed into a liquid. In that almost transparent "water flow," Atomic Warrior saw an alien object with a human outline in the center, and immediately took a deep breath and held his breath.
At this moment, the psychic compression from the Tornado reached its limit. Realizing this, Silver Fang did not wait any longer, but immediately assumed a fighting stance and, after a few seconds, threw a powerful punch.
"The ultimate technique of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, drink it!!!"
The seemingly slow punch, which actually exceeded the speed of sound, broke the sound barrier, tore through the air, and slammed heavily onto the surface of the semi-circular "water sphere" in front of it. Ripples spread from the fist to the entire sphere, and eventually, unable to withstand such high-frequency vibrations, the water sphere shattered completely, revealing its only "solid" part.
"Now! Atomic Slash!"
The marks left by the sharp blade vanished in an instant. When the silver fangs caught sight of Atomic Samurai again, the S-class hero who should have been beside him had already moved behind the "human" exposed from the water sphere and slowly retracted his long sword.
Before him, the "Association President," who had personally caused all of this, stared in disbelief at the incision that was slowly splitting open from his waist.
"How can it be……"
How similar all of this is to the situations that these heroes have encountered in the past.
The hero, who uncovered the conspiracy, found the mastermind. He was nearly overwhelmed by the mastermind's outburst, but through sacrifice and justice, he forcefully fought back. The villain met his end amidst endless regret and realization.
"That's weird."
The "Association President," whose body was mostly severed, suddenly changed his tone. One of his hands shattered and turned back into white mist, engulfing and disappearing the Atomic Samurai who had just retrieved his longsword. The white mist formed from his other hand slammed the silver fangs in front of him into the ground. Finally, he raised his head and stared blankly at the sky, where the trembling tornado was completely stunned.
"Leaving aside your status as natives and me as a voter, you mere city-level people dare to dream of fighting against national-level forces, and you call yourselves S-class heroes? Now I'll show you that even among S-class heroes, there's a world of difference!"
The mist that erupted from the head spread towards the sky, and just as the trembling tornado was about to be engulfed by it, a blinding burst of fire suddenly erupted.
"Burn it!"
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 618 [Jiu Wu (% Eight) Lingmeng Fatian, Xiangdi]
"Sorry, we're late."
After putting down the trembling tornado, Genos looked around at the surrounding environment, which was no longer recognizable, and faced the white sea of mist in front of him again.
Recovering from the lingering fear of death, Tornado struggled to her feet, trying to push aside the cyborg blocking her way: "Get out of the way, this guy is not someone you can handle."
"Ah, that's why I called my master."
"master?"
"It's there."
Following Genos's gaze upwards, what came into Tatsumaki's view was a bald head—and the bald head's outstretched fist.
A thunderous sound exploded in the sky, and the ever-spreading white mist instantly melted away by more than half as if it had encountered a natural enemy. A large area in front of the fist was completely swept away, forcing the remaining mist to stop its spread and instead merge inward with other parts.
Unlike the characters in the story who were shocked beyond words when they first witnessed Saitama's power, the "Association Chairman," who knew the plot of this world and the protagonist's special characteristics, simply felt troubled.
As an entity capable of transforming into a non-physical white mist, he was virtually immune to all direct physical attacks, let alone the most basic attack method like kinetic energy impact. The fact that he single-handedly overwhelmed four S-class heroes without them even having the power to retaliate was the best evidence of this.
However, the power that was invincible to other S-class native heroes was easily defeated by the "protagonist" with a single punch, so much so that the "Association President" had to consider some of the claims that he thought were just jokes from the transmigrators.
"It's not just a simple punch, but a power that carries some kind of rule... No wonder they are the only possible star-level natives in this world."
Then, it unleashed its most powerful force.
"But it's impossible for me to submit like that!"
The white mist roared and erupted, forming a white tornado that shot straight into the sky and swallowed the bald man in front of him. Facing the full force of this attack from two national-level opponents, Saitama simply scratched his head and then threw a punch upwards—
The vacuum passage tore through the fog and led directly to the sky. The devastating scene just now vanished as if it were an illusion, with only wisps of fog remaining in the air proving that it was not an illusion.
Just as the onlookers below were overwhelmed by what they were seeing, the sound of applause grew louder as it approached.
“Well done, Indigenous people.”
Reaching out, the man in white robes swept the remaining mist from the sky into his sleeve and looked at Saitama not far ahead: "Although it's only half of the 'supernatural power,' it's still something to be proud of that it could destroy one of my avatars."
Saitama's attitude remained somewhat nonchalant: "Does that weirdo have anything to do with you?"
"A weirdo? You could call him that. In a way, he's the same person as me."
"Oh, that's good."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the fist-shaped group appeared before him.
Faced with this fist that could not be resisted by flesh and blood, "Law of Heaven and Earth" showed no intention of resisting, but allowed the fist to shatter its "body" and disappear without a trace.
"Ah?"
Unlike before, there was no tactile sensation of contact with a solid object on his fist. Instead, a "channel" formed by the force of the punch appeared in front of him. Just as Saitama was looking around for an opponent, a deep "rumble" from the sky made him subconsciously look up.
He saw a face: the face that had just been in front of him.
Not just Saitama, but the entire Central District, along with the eight surrounding cities, and across a third of the landmass in the Northern Hemisphere, everyone who looked up saw this face: the face that replaced the sky.
"You've done a good job as an indigenous person, but a caged bird should be prepared to stay in its cage."
Beneath the thunderous roar, the "giant's" face slowly opened and sank towards the central area—the scene was as if the entire sky was falling to the ground. Saitama, directly below, attempted to throw a punch, but the power capable of shattering the atmosphere and even planets was utterly powerless against this vast sky. It vanished from the ground with half of the central area and billions of tons of matter, along with countless ordinary people and heroes who couldn't escape in time. When Lin Yi arrived here, he saw a continuous, bottomless crater.
If we compare the Earth to an apple, then this dent is probably the "gap" left by humans biting into the apple.
"Regarding star ratings?"
Looking up as if he had just realized something, Lin Yi looked into the distance.
The extreme edge, invisible to the naked eye, is the surface of an orange planet.
Feeling the heavy fluctuations erupting from the third orbit of the solar system, and realizing that the "Cult of Resurrection" had begun its final operation, the manager frowned. Looking at the "Elephant Seal" that connected half of the planet's strata and locked him here, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to use "Vacuum Shattering" to break through violently.
But he couldn't just stand by and watch what happened on Earth. After all, it was his duty. Although he himself didn't care, he would still be punished for his inaction if the Transmigrators Alliance investigated him.
Therefore, he turned his attention to the more distant edge of the solar system.
Having received a signal from the third planet, Boros, with his Dark Matter Pirates, arrived near Earth earlier than the events of the main story. At his current speed, he should be able to pinpoint Earth's location and arrive in a few hours, but neither "Vacuum Shattering" nor "Heaven and Earth Transformation" will have enough time left.
"Vacuum Crusher's" eyes, gazing in that direction, became incredibly deep.
The edge of the solar system.
The massive spaceship traversed space, searching for an opponent that could challenge the cosmic overlord on board. Of course, this was due to a variety of reasons, including the fact that it felt insulted.
That was not long ago, but Boros still vividly remembered the ecstasy he felt when he suddenly received a message from an unknown galaxy in the aimless expanse of space, and the fury he felt after deciphering its contents—
"Hey grandson, come and hit me!"
Boros believed that no one could remain unmoved after being insulted for no reason, and he was no exception. So he led the Dark Matter Pirates toward the coordinates on the information without hesitation, and now he was about to reach his destination.
Boros decided that he would make the life that dared to insult him feel pain. Just then, the spaceship sounded a piercing alarm. Before he could even see what was happening, the Master and the Overlord disappeared into space along with everyone on board.
The next moment, the spaceship broke free from the shattered vortex and appeared on the surface of the blue planet, plunging towards the ground amidst countless screams of terror.
