The Melee Begins

The sound of footsteps came from the front desk, drawing the attention of many S-Class Hero away from the Caped Baldy and towards the Hero Association staff who came out.

The staff member, dressed in a black suit and with a serious expression, once again showed the many S-Class Hero the prophecy of that Great Prophet... and that scrawled, dog-like handwriting.

Of course, after hearing this somewhat comical and absurd prophecy, many S-Class Hero were speechless—there was no specific time, no specific place, no specific person, and no specific event...

What's the difference between fulfilling a prophecy and not fulfilling it? They're being told to be on guard, but they don't even know what they're supposed to be on guard against!

However, at this moment, Tatsumaki touched her chin, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at Vegapunk, flew over, and then created a Psychic Power shield to cover the two of them.

"Hey, which Great Prophet predicted this? It couldn't be the very thing you created, could it?"

What Tatsumaki was talking about was naturally the Super Monster that Vegapunk was creating in his underground Laboratory. After thinking it over, she realized that the only thing that could endanger the entire Earth seemed to be the terrifying invention that Vegapunk had created.

Vegapunk rolled his eyes and shook his head:

"How is that possible? With Saitama around, even if the Super Monster I created goes out of control, he can still take it down with one punch!"

"You have too much confidence in that bald guy, don't you? That bald guy is indeed very strong, but the thing you created isn't even fully developed yet, and it's already making me wary. If it were fully formed, that bald guy might not be a match for you!"

Upon hearing Vegapunk's answer, Tatsumaki frowned, somewhat puzzled. However, Vegapunk suddenly reached out, stopping Tatsumaki from speaking, and tilted his head, as if sensing something.

"There's something outside the atmosphere! Everyone be careful!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a strong electromagnetic force instantly spread out, causing the entire Hero Association building to shake. Then, all the S-Class Hero felt themselves rising, and at the same time, the metal ceiling was opened.

What's going on?

"Does the Hero Association even have designs like this?!"

"Wait, look at the sky!"

The group of S-Class Hero were not flustered, but looked around with a little curiosity. Just then, a faint shadow fell down, and when they looked up, they saw the Alien Spaceship falling from the sky.

"An Aliens invasion?! Are you kidding me?! This is too far-fetched!"

A group of S-Class Hero stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief. Although these heroes from the One-Punch Man World had seen all sorts of strange Monsters and bizarre black technologies, the idea of Aliens invasion still caught them completely off guard.

"It's too late! The Spaceship is about to attack! Everyone be careful!"

Atomic Samurai saw the light coming from the cannon of the skyship and immediately shouted.

"Watch me, I'll bounce it back to him!"

Tatsumaki frowned and roared, her immense Psychic Power almost distorting space itself, creating a massive protective shield over the city below.

At the same time, a large number of shells rained down, directly hitting City A below, and were instantly frozen in mid-air!

Tatsumaki was slightly taken aback, then as if she had realized something, she turned her head and saw Vegapunk with a serious expression, holding out his hand and already controlling all the cannonballs.

In terms of pure power, Vegapunk's electromagnetic and gravitational control abilities are far inferior to Tatsumaki, Psychic Power who could slowly dismantle the entire Earth when she goes berserk.

However, if it were made of pure metal, the effect of electromagnetic force on the metal would be enough to surpass the Psychic Power of Tatsumaki, and what was fired from this Spaceship was indeed a pure metal projectile.

However, the projectiles fired by the Spaceship were indeed powerful enough, with an astonishingly strong pure physical explosive force, which made Vegapunk feel a little pressure.

"We can't fight here. I'm moving the spaceship away. Tatsumaki, you take control of the entire spaceship!"

"Stop ordering me around. I don't owe you anything now!"

Tatsumaki twitched her little nose and snorted twice, but when she took action, she still completely obeyed Vegapunk's orders and directly took full control of the Spaceship in the sky.

Vegapunk took a deep breath, and instantly disappeared into the Black Hole, reappearing on the Spaceship. He then reached out and pressed down on the entire Spaceship.

"Flying Thunder God Formation!"

The immense Chakra instantly boiled, almost giving the impression of spacetime distortion. After the entire Spaceship trembled slightly, it completely disappeared into the sky.

As the Spaceship disappeared, Vegapunk also fell from the sky, but he quickly stopped in mid-air and finally landed slowly on the roof of the Hero Association building, looking down at the many S-Class Hero.

"I delivered the Spaceship to Z-City, which happens to be an uninhabited area, so there won't be too many casualties."

"However, given the speed of that Spaceship, it would probably only take a few minutes to reach other cities, so we must shoot it down now!"

"Alright, that's enough!"

Tatsumaki waved her hand, saying somewhat anxiously:

"Don't you have the ability to Space Transfer? Take us with you now!"

As she spoke, Tatsumaki reached out her little hand and grabbed Vegapunk. Vegapunk was slightly taken aback, but he didn't do anything else. Instead, he immediately unleashed the Flying Thunder God Formation. As the Sealing Tag array expanded, the entire space contracted in the next second, and all the heroes standing above disappeared.

With a whoosh, before a group of S-Class Hero could even react, their surroundings had changed. They were still on the top floor of a metal building, but this metal building was no longer the Hero Association; it was now the House of Evolution, a subordinate of Vegapunk.

"So fast... Is this the Flying Thunder God Technique? I heard it's an ability derived from the Chakra system!"

"It seems the Chakra system is indeed extraordinary. No wonder all the lower-ranking heroes of the Hero Association have devoted themselves to it in such a short time!"

Atomic Samurai squinted, a hint of amazement on his face. He belonged to the traditional martial arts system and initially held a somewhat dismissive attitude towards the newly emerging Chakra.

Although Chakra is easy to learn, most martial artists and swordsmen are skeptical about whether it can lead to the pinnacle of martial arts like his and Bang's, due to its relatively short history.

However, Vegapunk's time-space transfer techniques made Atomic Samurai no longer dare to underestimate this newly emerging system.

At this moment, Tatsumaki, who was holding hands with Vegapunk, Tatsumaki for a moment, stiffly turned her head away, her face flushed, and looked at Vegapunk with a strange smile.

"You, you, you, you... why are you holding my hand?!"

Vegapunk:...

You were the one who couldn't wait to grab my hand, okay?!

Of course, given Tatsumaki's personality, she would never admit that at first she thought Vegapunk would have to make physical contact to take people on a teleportation mission!

"Um, shouldn't you let go of my hand first?"

Upon hearing Vegapunk's words, Tatsumaki realized that the two of them were still holding hands!

She quickly flung her hand away, retreating several steps as if her arm were a venomous snake, her face now completely flushed.

Fortunately, just then, Spaceship in the distance came to her rescue. With a deafening roar, Z-City in the distance exploded under the Spaceship's barrage of fire!

"Aaaaaah! My house! My house has been bombed!!"

This time, the Caped Baldy, who was known for being a lazy bum, could no longer sit still. His eyes bulged forward, his face turned red, smoke billowed from his seven orifices, and veins bulged on his forehead. Without saying a word, he leaped up.

With a loud bang, as he stomped down, propelling himself forward, the entire tall building of the House of Evolution sank half a meter deep under his foot.

It was fortunate that the experimental building of the House of Evolution was constructed as a single piece, with a strength far exceeding that of ordinary tank armor. If it were an ordinary building, it would have been crushed by the Caped Baldy's foot long ago.

A fierce gust of wind swept past, obscuring the view of the group of S-Class Hero. Weaker heroes like Child Emperor and Zombieman were almost blown away by the gust of wind brought by the Caped Baldy.

"So fast!"

Flashy Flash lowered his arm that was shielding him from the wind, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty. Was that figure that flashed by just now really that bald guy with a somewhat lazy appearance... Caped Baldy?

At that moment, a loud bang came from afar. The rampaging Caped Baldy crashed headfirst into the Spaceship in the sky without hesitation, breaking it in two and crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

At the same time, a large number of Monsters crawled out of the Spaceship like ants. Seeing this, Vegapunk quickly waved his hand:

"These Aliens have already come out. Let's all work together and make sure they don't escape from Z-City!"

Z-City is an uninhabited area with few residents, so even if these Aliens wanted to cause damage, they couldn't do much. But if it were any other city, none of these Aliens would be easy to deal with.

Aliens capable of space travel, if they are combat personnel, are almost certainly no weaker than Demon-level. Even their technical personnel are physically comparable to Tiger-level Monsters.

Any one of these people could cause considerable disaster if they escaped into a human city, so it would be best to surround and wipe them out here.

"Alright, let's get started. Don't let that bald guy steal all the limelight!"

After hearing Vegapunk's words, Tatsumaki perhaps wanted to break the awkward silence, so she crossed her arms and flew in mid-air, looking quite excited.

However, her words did inspire the S-Class Hero. As fellow S-Class Hero, who among them would consider themselves inferior? How could they possibly watch Saitama fight alone? (King: I think I'm pretty bad~)

"That's right, let's get started!"

Child Emperor patted his backpack, and several mechanical tentacles sprouted from it. Genos opened several diffused jet nozzles on his back and flew directly into the sky. Atomic Samurai drew his sword, and Superalloy Darkshine's muscles bulged...

Just as a group of S-Class Hero were in high spirits, a loud bang was heard, and the entire Z-City sank into a giant crater.

Half of Spaceship, seemingly affected by the aftershocks of the battle, crashed directly in their direction. Vegapunk quickly reached out and stopped the half of the spaceship.

This was Spaceship! I hadn't even studied it before the Caped Baldy dismantled it!

Vegapunk felt a pang of heartache, but he couldn't care less. He unleashed a powerful electromagnetic force, directly controlling the other half of the Spaceship to fly out. He even changed direction and flung it at the ground, throwing out a bunch of Monsters. Then, he attracted the other half of the Spaceship to this side as well.

"Fortunately Boros, Boros seems to be attracted by Saitama... otherwise, if he were still on the spaceship, and I dared to provoke him like this, he would definitely come and kill me!"

Vegapunk secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Boros, if we're talking about pure destructive power, is only slightly stronger than Tatsumaki.

After all, both of them are monsters capable of destroying surface civilizations, so in terms of destructive power, they should be roughly equal.

But if they really fought, Tatsumaki would be no match for Boros. First of all, Tatsumaki is a mage, while Boros, although he can also unleash Tri-Beam, is definitely a warrior.

A mage-type powerhouse is inherently several times more destructive than a warrior of the same level. However, this also means that if a mage's destructive power is comparable to that of a warrior, then the warrior's combat power is definitely much higher than that of the mage.

In addition, Boros is known as the Space King. He has experienced countless battles throughout the universe and can be described as an undefeated master at the cosmic level (although he was eventually defeated by Baldy). His combat experience and combat skills are extremely rich.

While Tatsumaki has eliminated many Monsters, she almost always relied on her superpowers to crush them. Her combat experience is not exactly zero, but it's practically nonexistent.

The outcome of a battle between a mage who only uses Psychic Power to stand still and deal damage and a warrior with high defense, long health, high speed, and explosive power is self-evident.

Vegapunk only managed to defeat Tatsumaki Boros, his limited skills would be of no use. The best outcome would be for him to escape with his life using his spatial abilities.

However, it was clear that the berserk Caped Baldy's attack had disrupted the entire warship and must have attracted the attention of the one-eyed Space King, who appeared to have already left the warship.
