Do What Saitama Does
Oboro followed the Vaccine Man and witnessed its rampage in the city.
During this time, members of the Hero Association also appeared one after another, but they were completely helpless against Vaccine Man's offensive... A-class heroes such as Inazuma Mike and Smile Man were basically severely injured and unconscious in one move.
To the Vaccine Man, these humans were incredibly weak, and he couldn't even be bothered to waste time 'harvesting lives'.
"Um?"
At this moment, Oboro, who was standing at a great height, changed his expression.
He saw someone, but it wasn't Saitama.
Instead, it was a person wearing headphones who, as if in a trance, stepped into the dangerous area that had become urban ruins.
And they are getting closer and closer to the Vaccine Man.
It was King.
"This person... really does have some mystical aspects," Long teased.
King was clearly receiving 'special attention' from the Will Tree.
Along the path between King and the Vaccine Man, there was a little girl who, looking around in bewilderment, had survived.
The little girl then burst into tears, attracting the attention of the Vaccine Man.
The strange man clearly disliked this 'ear-piercing' noise.
"They're here."
The Vaccine Man appeared in front of the girl and reached out to grab her.
Long's heart stirred.
The following scenes are exactly the same as the original story.
Saitama arrived at the scene, rescued the girl, and faced the Vaccine Man, who was spouting nonsense and claiming to represent the will of Earth to exterminate humanity and whose physical form had changed. He swiftly and decisively killed him with One-Punch Man punch! Afterwards, Saitama merely glanced at the girl who had stopped crying before turning and leaving.
Not far away... King was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his headphones finally falling to the ground as he realized what had happened.
That familiar 'bald man' saved his life once again, bringing him back from the brink of death.
Saitama left, but Oboro did not.
Looking at the ravaged land, he considered what he could do after returning to the Hunter x Hunter of One-Punch Man World of One-Punch Man... Because for the Hunter x Hunter World, Vaccine Man is equivalent to a 'life form' or disaster on the Dark Continent. Once it descends, it will bring unimaginable casualties and destruction to humanity.
Just like the tragedy that is happening in City A right now.
In other words, returning to the Hunter x Hunter, in order to connect the human world of Lake Island with the Dark Continent, then... there must be someone, like Saitama, to fight against the monster disasters that the 'ordinary level' cannot handle.
Saitama is essentially a safety net.
Moreover, this mechanism does not rely entirely on Saitama alone; the heroes under the Hero Association are also growing and fighting against monsters, which gives them room to become stronger.
"If I return to Hunter x Hunter, I'll have to play Saitama's role... And when I get back, the first thing I'll do is take control of V5, change its organization and system, and turn it into an organization like the Hero Association, integrating all of humanity through some kind of 'hero' bond and halo. Then, through resources, I'll strengthen human Nen user and categorize them into levels... In this way, once humanity has a certain level of organization and combat power, we can approach the Dark Continent just like we would when facing monster threats."
"Changing social structures and human consciousness... this is very important."
Long frowned slightly, deep in thought.
But there's a fatal problem here!
Saitama is invincible in the world of One-Punch Man! But even if he returns to Hunter x Hunter... can he guarantee that he will still be 'invincible'? The reason why humanity and society in the world of One-Punch Man can operate steadily and move forward... lies in Saitama.
No matter who the enemy is... Saitama will win.
If Oboro can't do this after returning to Hunter x Hunter, then... his plan will undoubtedly be pushing all of humanity into a fire pit.
During this time, Oboro also thought about some things.
"The protagonist of each world is closely related to the Will Tree, and is the core of the world's advancement... Hunter x Hunter is just a 'provisional' higher world. Although it doesn't involve concepts like the universe or multiverse, the settings in its power system are too complex. In some ways, things like rules, the bizarre, and the extraordinary are no less dangerous than the 'universe level' in the spatial dimension. The reason it's called a higher world is because I haven't fully explored the Dark Continent yet... Nobody knows what's hidden 'inside' the Dark Continent."
"But if it were an ordinary 'higher world', given the strength of my soul at the time, it would be strange that I couldn't sense the Will Tree... This is clearly abnormal."
"Furthermore, if I want to be like Saitama, the prerequisite is to connect with the Hunter x Hunter Will Tree, to bind myself closely to the 'world,' and become the 'protagonist'... I can use this to make a deal with the Hunter x Hunter Will Tree."
"To become the 'Saitama' of Hunter x Hunter... that's the safest way."
Various thoughts flashed through Long's mind.
That's the idea, but whether it can actually be done is another matter.
At present, it seems a bit difficult.
Fortunately, having experienced these worlds, he is now quite familiar with the will of the world.
Since I couldn't sense the Hunter x Hunter Will Tree before, this time when I return, all I need to do is become stronger than before.
After a moment of silence, Oboro realized that the Hero Association members had arrived one after another, so he fled away.
As the story unfolds, it means that this world will likely be the dimension where he will spend the shortest amount of time.
Because the original work spans several seasons, the actual time span is only about 3 months.
This means that it's unlikely that Oboro can stay as long as he does in Demon Slayer and One Piece, or casually go into seclusion to cultivate. He could actually stay indefinitely, regardless of time or plot points, but firstly, most of the monster resources here are unusable, and secondly, the only things he's truly curious about in this world are Saitama and the God; everything else... he doesn't care about at all.
A few months is enough time for him to get familiar with the bald demon king and the God.
"We've found... the hero who killed that weirdo."
"That's him!"
At the Hero Association headquarters, Sekingar, the head of the organization, arrived at the intelligence and information control room with several subordinates and looked at a screen in front of him.
The staff member sitting at the control panel quickly typed on the keyboard and pulled up the detected images and King's headshot.
"Because the monster appeared suddenly, and the area and speed of its destruction were astonishing, most of the city's infrastructure was destroyed in a very short time... Therefore, we couldn't immediately determine the exact situation at the epicenter of the disaster. However, according to surveillance footage from a street near the disaster site, it was indeed him who entered the danger zone. We also found eyewitnesses; survivors saw him walk towards the monster..."
"Based on our data analysis... including the actual situation, it is true that the monster was killed not long after he came into contact with the enemy."
"This is footage from the scene."
"When our people arrived, he was indeed the only person within a radius of several kilometers."
"This person is..."
Sekingar stared at King's photo and gasped.
"King!"
"No wonder, only he could do that."
"But..."
At this moment, the staff member suddenly changed the subject.
"Shortly after the monster was killed, when our people rushed to the scene, a B-class hero accidentally discovered... there seemed to be another figure in the sky."
"Um?"
"A Class B hero, Big Owl... He possesses superhuman eyesight and the ability to detect both static and dynamic objects, along with a near-omnidirectional field of vision... Although we tracked him down immediately after receiving the news, without any results, his words still have a certain degree of credibility."
As the staff member spoke, they pulled up another portrait on the screen.
"This is a portrait drawn based on his description."
"This mysterious person... only existed in Big Owl's field of vision for two or three seconds before mysteriously disappearing."
"After system matching, it has been confirmed that... you are not a member of our Association."
