Tatsumaki Admits Defeat

"Sister, are you alright?"

The one who spoke up was Fubuki, whose face held an undisguised smile and a gloating expression.

Although Fubuki's expression was one of schadenfreude, she was still concerned about her older sister. She took out a pill from her hand and put it directly into Tatsumaki's mouth.

"Hold it in your mouth, don't swallow it. This pill will automatically decompose to produce oxygen. One pill can allow a person to survive in an oxygen-free environment for 24 hours."

"In addition, it also helps to balance the internal and external air pressure, reducing the pressure of gravity on the blood and internal organs."

After a while, Tatsumaki, who had been Tatsumaki on the pill, finally came to her senses. She patted her chest and glared at Vegapunk with a hostile expression.

"Where exactly did you put the Laboratory?"

"This is a planet I found in the black box of the Spaceship, and then connected the two through Wormhole Portal."

"Because of more than twice the gravity of Earth, the matter and the ground here are extremely hard, making it a very good training and combat location."

"Besides, I remember someone completely ignored my advice and came here without even listening to what I was saying, right?"

"Stop arguing! Enough with the nonsense, let's get started!"

Tatsumaki turned her head, her face flushed, and said a couple of things, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed. Vegapunk didn't seem to mind and just smiled slightly.

"Let's begin then, everyone stand next to me!"

After hearing Vegapunk's words, Fubuki and the others obediently stood over, and then, with a flash of hazy light, they all turned into phantoms.

Well... aside from a certain Caped Baldy, because hollowing him would require too much stamina, Vegapunk didn't even include him in his protection list.

Anyway, let alone the aftermath of the battle, even if you put the Caped Baldy in the very center and made him a target for both Tatsumaki and the Super Monster to beat up at the same time, you probably wouldn't even be able to knock a single hair off the Caped Baldy.

Just after Vegapunk used his group Hollowfication ability, the Super Monster (actually Vegapunk clone) that emerged from the opposite Space Gate roared and fired a dazzling beam of light from its mouth!

Tatsumaki snorted, and her Psychic Power erupted instantly. A pale green light surrounded her, directly refracting the beam of light and sending it hurtling into the sky.

The dazzling light flashed and disappeared in an instant. The ever-present yellow storm on the planet was instantly blasted into a circular, pitch-black hole by the beam of light, through which one could see the distant and vague universe.

Once it pierces through the atmosphere, it already has the destructive power to the Earth's surface!

Although Tatsumaki seemed to deflect the beam of light with ease, a few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her green curly hair swung wildly, revealing a hint of caution in her expression.

From the Monsters's probing attack, Tatsumaki already knew that he was no easy opponent!

After his first attack failed, the Super Monster did not continue with energy attacks. Instead, a faint white light flashed across his body, and he leaped into the air, heading towards the Tatsumaki.

"This is... telekinesis? Unbelievable..."

Tatsumaki's expression changed slightly. This telekinetic power gave Tatsumaki an extremely familiar feeling, as if—it was her own doing!

Having given Vegapunk a lot of her blood cells to pay off her debts, how could Tatsumaki not know the origin of his telekinesis?

The thought that the Monsters's telekinesis originated from her genes enraged Tatsumaki, who roared:

"You despicable bastard, you clumsy imitator, die!"

The fierce telekinetic force caused the atmosphere of the sky to shriek as it slammed towards the Monsters opposite. The Super Monster also unleashed its telekinetic force to resist, but the two forces only made slight contact before the Super Monster's telekinetic force crumbled.

As a Tatsumaki capable of destroying the Earth's surface and causing planetary-level disasters with just its telekinetic abilities, even if the Super Monster itself possesses some telekinetic genes, it is still far inferior to this strongest telekinetic master.

Fortunately, the Super Monster didn't rely on telekinesis. With a roar, a terrifying energy surge erupted, and his body emitted a faint Platinum Light.

"The energy index is still rising. Such powerful energy... Unbelievable, it's equivalent to the energy of hundreds of nuclear bombs, and it's still rising!"

Genos's eyes gleamed, his computing center whirring as it calculated an energy index that was nearly astronomical, and a very serious expression appeared on his face.

A single strike of this energy would likely possess the power of a hydrogen bomb; one such attack could probably devastate the entire surface of the Earth!

"Wait, this feeling... it's kind of like Chakra? But no, it's more like a fusion of Chakra and some other energy!"

Fubuki sensed the Super Monster's energy and discovered another blind spot, so she quickly turned to look at Vegapunk.

"Indeed, this Super Monster has also undergone Chakra modification. In addition, he also possesses terrifying energy that he himself has been nurtured within him. After the two energies merged, he possessed the characteristics of both energies. He could use them as Chakra to perform Ninjutsu, or he could directly transform them into destructive energy blasts. And each of his characteristics was enhanced!"

Vegapunk nodded to Fubuki. Chakra, this versatile energy, has the greatest characteristic of being able to fuse and enhance any energy.

"Then... does this Super Monster also know Ninjutsu?!"

Fubuki spoke with some surprise, Vegapunk immediately smiled slightly:

"You seem to have forgotten, Fubuki, this Monsters in front of you is actually my clone!"

"In other words... this clone can use any Ninjutsu that I can use!"

As soon as Vegapunk finished speaking, the Super Monster, who was almost crushed by the Tatsumaki's telekinesis, vanished without a trace in a flash.

Space-Time Ninjutsu!

Tatsumaki was slightly startled, and her entire body instantly blazed with green light, forming an incredibly powerful protective shield. With a series of crackling sounds, the Super Monster transformed into beams of light, relentlessly attacking Tatsumaki's shield.

At first, the Tatsumaki's protective shield flickered and swayed, giving the impression that it was about to shatter.

Fortunately, Tatsumaki immediately withdrew the Psychic Power she had used for attacking, greatly strengthening the shield. Even with the Super Monster's continuous attacks, the shield eventually stabilized.

A moment later, seemingly sensing that the attack had no effect, the Super Monster's figure flickered and he coldly looked at Tatsumaki.

A rich Platinum Light gradually focused on the Monsters's hands. He slowly raised his hands, retracted three fingers, leaving only his index and middle fingers pointing at Tatsumaki.

Just as the Tatsumaki unleashed its powerful Psychic Power once again, attempting to engulf the Super Monster, a blinding platinum light burst forth from the Super Monster's finger.

The platinum light and the green Psychic Power shield collided instantly. The shield held out for a moment before being pierced by the platinum light. A tiny beam of light grazed Tatsumaki's temple and flew out, carrying a faint smell of burning.

The energy beam that pierced through the protective shield flashed by like a meteor, eventually striking a distant mountain peak. As a violent pillar of light rose, the entire mountain collapsed and shattered, the earth trembled violently, and crimson magma and black smoke spewed out.

This seemingly small beam of energy not only shattered distant mountain peaks but also directly shattered the Earth's Crust, triggering a terrifying volcanic eruption!

Tatsumaki was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, feeling her heart pounding and sweat pouring down her forehead.

My own Psychic Power shield was actually broken!

If this Super Monster hadn't shown mercy, it wouldn't just have been the protective shield that got shattered, but also his head!

Tatsumaki's Psychic Power may be incredibly strong, but her physical defenses are not much stronger than those of an ordinary person. Without Psychic Power defenses, even an ordinary bullet could still take her life.

Not to mention that level of energy attack; if you were hit, it wouldn't just be your head, you'd probably be turned to ashes!

After a brief silence, and having calmed herself down, Tatsumaki asked:

"The attack just now, although it also involved Psychic Power, shouldn't have had this much destructive power..."

In the distance, the previously Super Monster raised his head and surprisingly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"It's very simple. I didn't just infuse my own energy with Psychic Power. Instead, I first used the fusion of Chakra and energy to change its nature and compress it to its limit."

"Then, I used my Psychic Power to change the form of the energy, merging the energy beams emitted from my index and middle fingers into a spiral shape, which naturally greatly increased its lethality and armor-piercing ability!"

Tatsumaki was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why the power of the opponent's energy attack had suddenly increased so much.

But what surprised her even more was that the Monsters in front of her spoke. She carefully examined the Super Monster for a moment and finally figured it out:

"Vegapunk? I knew it was a clone all along... but your control is actually this good? It's practically one soul in two bodies!"

Even so-called clones can be either semi-autonomous or completely controlled by the main body's consciousness, like limbs.

The former is roughly equivalent to Shadow Clone or Wood Clone, while the latter is closer to Nagato's Six Paths of Pain, which is essentially an extension of the main body's consciousness.

Tatsumaki initially thought Vegapunk controlled Monsters using the former method, but now, seeing that the Super Monster in front of her could actually talk, she realized that Vegapunk controlled them using the latter method.

There are quite a few intelligent Monsters who can speak; in fact, it could be said that the vast majority of humanoid Monsters possess this ability.

However, in the eyes of Tatsumaki, who possesses powerful Psychic Power and mental strength, it is perfectly clear that this Super Monster not only has almost identical mental characteristics to Vegapunk, but even the mental fluctuations he constantly makes are exactly the same as Vegapunk's.

This situation could only occur if the souls of the two bodies are the same.

Vegapunk didn't bother to hide anything. The Super Monster opposite Tatsumaki nodded slightly and said:

"Isn't this the best way? This way, I won't have to worry about my work betraying me!"

"Hmph! Looks like I worried for nothing. Fine, you win this time!"

Tatsumaki touched her slightly scorched temples and said with a smug look, "Actually, the reason she fought against Vegapunk's Super Monster this time was not only because she felt underestimated, but also because she wanted to test whether the Monsters Vegapunk created would go out of control."

Even though Vegapunk has turned it into something like a clone, Monsters, being such uncontrollable life forms, are still very likely to evolve on their own and break free from their constraints for various reasons.

However, Tatsumaki finally realized that she had been worrying for nothing. Judging from Vegapunk's appearance, he was practically turning this Monsters's body into his own!

Unaware that her inner thoughts had inadvertently revealed the truth, Tatsumaki slowly descended from the sky, while the Super Monster opposite her also landed.

"I never expected that my sister, who was so confident at the beginning, would admit defeat now!"

Fubuki smiled and looked at her sister with a mocking gaze, which made Tatsumaki blush and almost become angry with embarrassment.

"Hey, bald guy! It's your turn!"

Enraged to the point of almost turning into a pufferfish Tatsumaki, she turned to Saitama and said, "Saitama is slightly taken aback, then points to his face:"

"Me? Why? I didn't agree to take action!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get over there right now, you bald bastard!"

"You little dwarf! Who are you calling bald?"

"Alright, alright! You two stop arguing, Saitama. Since Tatsumaki wants to see your strength, then show her your Serious Series move!"

"Anyway, this isn't Earth. Even if we shatter the entire planet, it won't have much of an impact!"

Upon hearing Vegapunk's statement that even if the planet were shattered, it wouldn't have any impact, Saitama's eyes lit up slightly.

Since the Caped Baldy is called One-Punch Man, he naturally has the same troubles as Superman in DC Comics. That is, sometimes he feels that the world around him is made of paper, and he has to be very careful in order to avoid causing some damage.

But if it were a strange planet... wouldn't I be able to truly let loose and test how strong I really am?

At least, I should be able to use a few more tricks in the so-called Serious Series!

On Earth, the Caped Baldy, let alone using his full strength, could cause a cataclysmic disaster if he were even slightly serious. But here, there's no need to worry about such things.
