Transcendent, the True Meaning of "Strength"

While Boros, the cosmic overlord, was fighting against Saitama and Saitama, Orochimaru, Jiraiya been hiding, also obtained the data he wanted.

"Destroy the Earth?"

Orochimaru, wearing a lab coat, shook his head and sneered.

Based on his energy analysis of Boros, the energy stored in Boros's body, even with special techniques to amplify it, could at most only destroy the surface of the Earth, not at all as exaggerated as he claimed.

Moreover, even if Boros could blow up the Earth, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Even disregarding the extremely few authority holders and law tamperers in the Infinite Planes, Boros is definitely not a big deal when it comes to the cold, hard numbers of combat power.

According to the information Orochimaru possesses, there also exists a cosmic emperor in the dimension known as "Dragon Ball".

That guy called "Frieza" was still able to destroy a planet with a diameter of 137,760 kilometers and a geological density of 6.85 grams per Cosmic Cube with a single blow, even under energy suppression!

In other words, Frieza could destroy more than ten planets of Earth's magnitude simultaneously without lifting a finger!

Orochimaru used Frieza, the emperor of the universe, as a standard unit of measurement for combat power across different dimensions.

Boros, a being whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary "Dragon" level combatants, was quickly assessed by Orochimaru as...

0.68 points.

Don't think this score is low.

By Orochimaru's standards, many of the so-called S-Class combat power in the Hero Association would probably have to add several zeros to their decimal point in their rating.

For example.

Currently, according to Orochimaru's power level assessment system, the two S-Class Hero "Metal Bat" and "Prisoner of Love" have combat power of 0.0013 and 0.0011 respectively.

If these two were to face Boros in a serious state, they would only be instantly slaughtered.

Orochimaru's Golden Snake Eyes flickered slightly as his gaze fell on the huge display screen not far away.

A supercomputer is working hard to create a 3D model of a human.

Bald, Apricot-yellow battle suit, a white cape, and red boxing gloves.

Saitama a hero to whom the Hero Association has poured a lot of publicity resources, yet he hasn't had many outstanding performances.

This person's strength rating is displayed in a dangerous red number in the upper right corner.

19.8 points.

Compared to other humans, their combat power is simply not on the same level!

"Could all the other humans in this plane combined be stronger than him?"

Orochimaru muttered to himself, a sudden inspiration flashing through his mind.

Added together.

Considering Jiraiya's doubling of strength after arriving in this dimension, he felt he was gradually finding a blind spot he had been overlooking.

The same bald head, the same super-dimensional combat power...

Orochimaru raised his hand and gestured in front of him for a moment. The content on the screen instantly changed, turning into a file filled with text.

The title is: "Speculation on the Chosen Child of Destiny"

No.1, codenamed "King", is one of the S-Class Hero of the Hero Association. His special skill is "Emperor Engine". He has excellent luck and his hobby is video games. Other information is unknown.

NO.2, Genos, a cyborg, Heavenly Fiend, a protagonist template with a tragic backstory, mentored by Guide, and worthy of close attention.

NO.3, Garou, despises the "hypocritical" heroes in TV tokusatsu dramas. During his childhood games with friends, he was forced to play the villain and was repeatedly defeated. He felt indignant and resentful about the reality that "villains can only be defeated by heroes." He studied Martial Arts at Bango Gu Dao but was later expelled. He is suspected of being a holder of the "adversity-driven protagonist template."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and added the name "Saitama" before King.

Before Orochimaru could do any more data analysis on the battle, a scene that appeared on the screen made him hold his breath for a moment.

"Etc!"

"This is..."

"The Transcendent One!"

How is that possible?

Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with shock.

The so-called transcendent beings are life forms that may only appear once every hundreds of millions of years in the most top-level planes such as the "Super Martial Plane", "Extreme Demon Plane" and "Primordial Plane".

Through their own hard work and struggle, or simply by chance, they broke through the shackles of their original destiny and were no longer bound by the laws of their original world. The sky was high enough for birds to fly and the sea was wide enough for fish to leap!

Many dimensions contain terrifying "laws".

In certain Super Martial Plane, the most outstanding individual cultivators, Mingdu capable of capturing stars and the moon and causing the deaths of billions of living beings at will, have a lifespan of only ten or twenty thousand years. No matter how they try to extend their lifespan, they can only exhaust their lifespan and turn into a handful of Kitsuchi.

However, some top individuals in ordinary martial arts fantasy worlds can easily possess lifespans of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

In terms of combat power alone, the former could easily crush tens of thousands of the latter.

But they just have short lifespans.

It has nothing to do with cultivation methods!

It has nothing to do with lifestyle!

It has nothing to do with genes or bloodline!

It has nothing to do with soul strength!

It's simply that the laws governing planes are defined in this way.

There are only two paths to freedom from its constraints.

1. Become Reincarnator.

2. Become a transcendent being.

Among countless cultivators with great supernatural powers, perhaps only one will transcend.

This is almost equivalent to an "impossible event".

Now, Orochimaru has witnessed the birth of a transcendent being.

When Jiraiya's special move clashed with Saitama's all-out attack, Wang Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines, thoroughly analyzed the power principle of "One-Punch Man".

"The [Power of Origin] works like this..."

A look of sudden realization appeared in Wang Yan's eyes.

His gaze fell on the space that had been torn apart by Jiraiya and Saitama not far away, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

It seems that a remarkable individual is about to descend upon this plane.

Calculating the time, it will be approximately 3.7 seconds later.

Very plentiful.

Wang Yan skillfully integrated his newly acquired abilities with his existing foundation.

He also chose his own "roots".

Just like how Earth in the One-Punch Man Plane belongs to both Saitama and Jiraiya.

Wang Yan's eyes flickered with light. "The One-Punch Man Plane is already at its limit just to accommodate Jiraiya and Saitama."

The source he chose was not the Earth where he was born, nor any other super-powered or Primordial Plane, but rather...

Main God Space!

Wang Yan snapped his the Snap.

Everything fell into place naturally.

There were no sound and light effects, no dazzling displays of light or rain, no golden lotuses blooming from the ground, and no celestial beings paying homage.

It's very simple.

Understanding, application...

That's all.

From this day forward, all the abilities of the surviving Reincarnator will be added to Wang Yan.

As for the hair loss side effect of One-Punch Man's power...

For Wang Yan, it does not exist.

Saitama and Jiraiya are merely beneficiaries of the abilities.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, fully understood this ability.

"According to the analysis, your overall strength has increased by 131.79%."

The Assistant Program's voice rang in Wang Yan's ears.

"Good."

Wang Yan nodded slightly.

A little over 130 percent seems like a small amount, almost negligible.

However, Wang Yan's improvement was always calculated based on "overall strength", not "combat power" and "destructive power".

In terms of destructive power alone, his experience in the One-Punch Man Plane alone increased it by more than 37 million times.

However, in Wang Yan's view, the accumulation of power at the numerical level is not very meaningful.

Prove the Way through force...

Such a person truly exists in the Infinite Planes.

But precisely because of this, that person occupied this concept and merged with it.

Apart from that person, all other living beings who walk this path will become his resources.

That was a dead end, Wang Yan didn't want to waste his time.

Moreover, for Wang Yan, simply piling up combat power is like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree or scratching an itch through a boot.

Take the most commonly used power system in cultivation worlds as an example...

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Infant Transformation, Separation and Reunion and Union, Jade Light, Tribulation Crossing, Ascension, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Immortal King Immortal Emperor, Supreme Immortal.

These realms seem to range from low to high, but the lifespan and combat power of cultivators at each level are vastly different.

But in Wang Yan's eyes...

They are all just "one"!

Total equality.

There is no difference!

In the Infinite Planes, there are countless chosen ones, some of whom even have their combat power increase hundreds of times each day.

In the presence of these exceptional individuals, the conventional approach to cultivation is nothing but a joke.

For example...

Because Jiraiya and Saitama's ultimate techniques clashed, they were beings who were brought to this dimension by a twist of fate.
