Chapter 136: You've Got to Be Kidding Me!
At the same time, one light-year away from Earth.
On the surface of a barren planet devoid of life, a naked human walked across this desolate land.
This person had a body of well-defined muscles, with that shiny bald head being the most striking feature. His dull eyes curiously surveyed the surroundings.
"Hello? Is anyone there? If you are, please reply. At least tell me where this is."
However, after waiting for a long time, Saitama still received no response.
Left with no choice, he lay flat on the ground, concentrating all his perception into his hearing. His simple face instantly became sharp and defined, his dull eyes turning keen and serious.
[Serious Series ● Serious Hearing]!
In an instant, all life activities on the entire planet fell upon Saitama's ears.
After a brief analysis, Saitama sighed helplessly, then stood up and began to stretch his limbs:
"Looks like another planet without life. Well, that means I can really let loose then."
After swimming through the starry void for quite a while, Saitama had stumbled upon a pretty good acceleration method.
He discovered this when, while traveling at near-light speed, he was accidentally caught in the explosion of a planetary core.
As long as he made an entire planet explode, the massive shockwave from the whole planet's detonation could propel him at light speed for a long time, and he wouldn't even need to exert any effort himself.
Thinking this, Saitama looked down at the crimson surface, raised his fist high, every inch of his muscles erupting with a terrifying physical power akin to a collapsing star.
[Serious Series ● Serious Punch]!
Saitama's eyes narrowed, and he slammed his fist into the ground.
This seemingly simple and unadorned punch, the moment it made contact with the ground, triggered a cataclysmic transformation.
The entire crust, like a piece of skin, was violently lifted by an invisible force into a wave a hundred meters high, then collapsed under the pull of gravity, forming an abyss!
Magma, rubble, and dust were swept into the air by the twisted air currents, like a waterfall flowing upstream!
Power of terrifying extremity spread across the planet's surface. Countless, densely packed, web-like fissures crazily crawled across the face of the planet.
The ground was shattering, magma was erupting. The immense force continuously impacted downward, soon reaching the planetary core.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Accompanied by a roar that could make the starry void tremble, this developing asteroid produced a brilliant explosion, shattering into the emptiness of the Universe.
In the vast expanse of space, a humanoid figure with a bald head was flying at light speed, continuously advancing towards the direction he believed was right...
....the Alternate Dimension....
The God, who had been continuously channeling his own power, suddenly froze. His body involuntarily trembled slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
That rule-defying bald guy is truly an unreasonable monster... If this continues... he'll be back here in less than two hours... Moreover, compared to the long-range threat of that bald guy, the current threat was even more pressing for the God.
The stars used for suppression were cracking inch by inch. King's aura shot straight into the sky like a pillar connecting heaven and earth. The surging physical power emanating from his body distorted the very space around him.
After multiple rounds of adaptation, King had evolved a formidable physique strong enough to resist the pressure of this Seal, and he was still growing stronger.
For him, this was itself a trial.
King's original vitality and physique were like an unrefined piece of ordinary iron. After being tempered by the Seal's pressure, his density had become countless times greater than before.
This wasn't just an improvement in physique, but a comprehensive enhancement in vitality and Psychic energy.
Crack!
A crisp sound, like shattering glass, exploded within King's body. His aura surged sharply once again.
He had already broken through the seventh limiter. He originally thought the God would be his greatest rival, but he never expected him to become the biggest experience pack.
King was almost amused by the God's move. Who would have thought he'd actually aid the enemy.
Despite being in a state of suppression, the power of the System far surpassed that of the God. King could still casually open his status panel.
[Name: King]
[Gender: Male]
[Abilities: King Engine, Ultra-Speed Regeneration, Fine Control, Energy Control, Adapt to Heaven and Earth, Soul Immortality]
[Strength: 99000]
[Speed: 89500]
[Stamina: 88500]
[Defense: 95000]
[Spirit: 73200]
[Note: The standard for entering Dragon Level is all attributes reaching 1000.]
Compared to before the Seal, his stats had now increased by nearly eightfold. What a terrifying improvement.
To put it bluntly, King, relying solely on his current normal state, could fight on par with his previous Gate of Death state, even managing to suppress it.
Watching King's aura grow increasingly fearsome, the God had no choice. He had to use over 70% of his power to suppress him, leaving only the remaining 30% to support the various Dragon-Level Executives in unleashing their Divine Power.
He felt like a mute tasting bitter herbs — unable to voice his suffering.
As a God, in his long existence, this was the first time he had encountered such an annoying individual.
He couldn't kill him, letting him go would ruin the plan due to his immense strength, and sealing him only made him stronger.
If he could keep killing him over and over to prevent him from leaving this place, that might have been acceptable. But the problem was, even with constant killing, this guy would still get stronger!
Left with no alternative, the God had to resort to the foolish act of aiding the enemy, hoping only to complete the plan to destroy humanity before King grew strong enough to break free from all restraints.
But now it seemed that even after receiving his bestowed power, the five Dragon-Level Executives were still fighting on par with those heroes.
What a bunch of useless trash!!
Seeing his strongest subordinate, Diamond Sperm, being dragged away by Blast, the God felt even worse.
Before he launched his full-scale attack, this damned human called Blast and his group of teammates would come to harass him every single day.
These little bugs weren't particularly strong; each of them could only be considered as having just reached Divine Rank at best.
But each of them possessed a unique secret technique: they could run incredibly fast. Even he, as a God, couldn't catch them without expending significant effort.
Ahead, the terrifying, rule-defying bald guy was about to return to the solar System. Behind, the King he had empowered to incredible strength was on the verge of breaking the Seal. The God was caught in the middle. If he had human sweat glands, he'd be drenched in cold sweat right now.
You've got to be kidding me!!
