• Child Emperor and the Hero Association feared that the two God-level disasters might join forces or that one might absorb the other.
• Tatsumaki accused Feng Ye and Saitama of failing to stop Boros, and they each pointed out that she could have stopped him too.

Feng Ye defeated Boros and preserved his energy-rich body as material for Divine Tree Pain’s next evolution, then headed for the Monster Association. There, Saitama successfully strengthened Orochi and planned to improve her control over him so they could approach Zero’s power.

• Saitama decided she needed stronger control over Orochi before using him as a vessel for her psychic power.

• Metal Bat left to pick up his little sister, while Bang invited Saitama, Genos, and Feng Ye to his dojo for premium beef, and they accepted.
• The Hero Association’s damage report confirmed that Boros’s God-level disaster had caused remarkably little destruction because the S-Class heroes had gathered and Feng Ye and Saitama had overwhelmed the threat.
• The Hero Association promoted Feng Ye directly to S-Class Rank 6 as Thunder God, and his fans quickly drowned out objections to his new ranking.

Saitama studied Divine Tree Pain’s cells and explained that he needed a carefully calculated near-death evolution to grow stronger, agreeing to deliver her findings within fifteen days. At Bang’s Dojo, Feng Ye mastered the Flowing Rock Crushing Fist and accepted an invitation to a hot spring trip with Bang.

Feng Ye and the S-Class heroes attended a hot spring retreat and banquet hosted by the Hero Association, where they discussed the growing monster threat and celebrated their past efforts. The evening ended with Tatsumaki drinking more after Saitama teased her about being small and too young for alcohol.

• Sekiguchi led the heroes into the hot spring hotel, where Atomic Samurai praised Feng Ye's swordsmanship and asked to learn from him.
• After the heroes soaked in the springs, Sekiguchi said the danger prophecy remained unresolved and monster disasters were increasing, then toasted the heroes for their work.

• Tatsumaki apologized to Feng Ye in advance for her sister Fubuki's behavior, and Feng Ye told her not to worry.
• Tatsumaki offered Feng Ye her liquor, but Saitama called her a kid and ordered her orange juice, prompting her to snatch back the glass and gulp down the drink.

• Feng Ye dressed and left the room, telling Tatsumaki he would overlook what happened because she had been drunk.
• Child Emperor examined Zombieman's body, which had been found pierced by a sword, and concluded that one of the heroes present was likely the murderer.

The S-Class heroes investigated Zombieman’s apparent murder, but he woke up unharmed and Feng Ye dismissed the stabbing as an accident. Surveillance revealed that a drunken Tatsumaki had thrown Atomic Samurai’s sword and repeatedly stabbed Zombieman before flying into Feng Ye’s room, and she forced Child Emperor to keep quiet.

After Garou attacked the Hero Association and began hunting heroes, Bang vowed to deal with his former disciple while Feng Ye focused on Garou’s ability to evolve. Half a month later, Feng Ye killed the Dragon-level Void King with one punch, and Garou found himself face-to-face with the S-Class hero he most wanted to defeat.

• Sekiguchi told the S-Class heroes that Garou had attacked the Association headquarters, and Bang revealed Garou had been his disciple before he expelled him.
• Bang offered to handle Garou, while Tatsumaki left to search for him and Feng Ye considered how Garou’s repeated evolution might help him grow stronger.
