All Possibilities

Oboro's concealment was only directed at Saitama. After the bald man left, Oboro naturally no longer needed to hide his existence.

He was unaware that the Hero Association had discovered 'himself'.

However, for the Hero Association, the appearance of another mysterious person besides King in this disaster is somewhat surprising, but also normal.

After all, besides the Hero Association, there are many other forces, organizations, and institutions in society.

They are not the only ones.

The reason why the mysterious person has attracted attention is simply because this monster disaster is of a relatively high level, namely Dragon level.

Judging from the area of damage to City A and the number of people who died in this disaster, it is definitely not at the level of a ghost.

Moreover, during the monster's rampage, the Association's instruments detected a 'Dragon' level energy fluctuation for a fleeting moment.

In such a disaster, although the mysterious man seems to have some kind of flying ability, being so close to the monster should theoretically still be quite dangerous.

Therefore, besides King, there is another person... who naturally attracts attention.

"Perhaps it appeared after the monster died..."

Beside Sekingar, a man in a suit and tie wearing a prosthetic eye spoke softly.

He is one of the core high-ranking members of the Hero Association, Sekingar.

"Most likely..."

Sekingar nodded, agreeing with that view.

This was just a minor incident, and the two of them obviously didn't take it to heart.

But another high-ranking member of the Association standing next to the two stared at the portrait in Sekingar's hand, his eyes darting around.

I don't know what he's thinking about.

After returning to her apartment, Long watched the news reports on TV and was amazed that the situation in City A had been almost resolved in such a short time.

Such execution and action are simply the Show Stopper.

It seems that in dealing with the aftermath of disasters, humanity in this world has mastered a formulaic process and system. All social institutions are cooperating with the government and forces like the Hero Association to carry out tasks such as alerting, reporting, rescue, and cleanup.

Everything is proceeding very quickly and in an orderly manner.

Long also discovered that although the turmoil in City A caused quite a stir and a sensation, people continued to live their lives as usual. Not only did people in other cities not care much, but even the local residents of City A, the survivors who were not affected by the disaster, were 'unfazed' and had a very strong mental fortitude.

Perhaps... I've gotten used to it.

After Saitama returned home that evening, he sat at Oboro's house for a while.

The two chatted for a while.

It was Oboro who invited him... Otherwise, given Saitama's personality, he would rarely visit other people's homes unless there was something important to discuss.

Saitama never mentioned that he killed the Vaccine Man in City A with One-Punch Man punch, as if in his eyes it was no different from stepping on an ant on the roadside... not worth mentioning.

The two talked mostly about which supermarket was having a sale or promotion, or about comics.

That's right, Saitama also likes to read comics.

Especially comics featuring 'heroes'.

According to him, he has loved watching comics since he was a child... His dream was to be a hero, with the goal of being able to take down those ugly and annoying villains in comics with One-Punch Man.

Now, he's done it... but he doesn't look too happy.

He did indeed become the strongest... and then what?

His life seems to have come to an end.

There's nothing new anymore...

Sadness, surprise, anger... these emotions seem to be slowly fading away from him.

Just a few days later, the 'effects' of the Vaccine Man had barely subsided.

Another disaster has occurred.

This time it's City B.

Another strange person familiar to Oboro was the pair of Giant Brothers who worked on scientific research and created the ultimate steroid, 'Biceps King': the Fukegao, and the younger brother Marugori.

On the television screen, a towering giant ruthlessly tramples on the city's buildings. With each step, it leaves a terrifying crater in the earth. The wind and shockwaves that erupt with a wave of its hand can sweep across an entire city, turning it to ashes in an instant.

At first glance, this destructive power is in no way inferior to that of Vaccine Man.

And the giant's figure looks... even more visually impactful.

Even Oboro, sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, let alone those humans deep in City B, facing monsters and desperately trying to escape.

"In terms of destructive power alone, this kind of life form can be compared with the behemoths of the Dark Continent, and is even much stronger, but only in the most peripheral areas. Once it comes to the source of power of the rules, it is still not enough. In addition, judging from the setting of the monster power system, it really cannot be used on Nen user in the Hunter x Hunter World. Their minds are already twisted. In severe cases, although they may gain this power, they will probably destroy the foundation of 'Nen'."

While eating potato chips, Oboro squinted and mumbled in his sleep.

Currently, there are three ways to become a monster: one is self-awakening, another is to start with technology, like Genos... whose mind is not twisted, he can become a hero or a 'monster'.

This Giant Brothers also rose to the rank of 'freak' through scientific means.

The Hero Association's definition of a disaster is not limited to a single category. Anything that poses a threat or cause damage to humanity and has signs of life can be called a monster... anything without signs of life is simply a disaster.

The last type is the Divine Awakener, who receives the favor of the God and becomes an eccentric.

"Should we go?"

Long raised an eyebrow.

While we don't need this giant resource... the product of that research potion, Biceps King, does have some value, so we might consider taking it with us.

This is just a medicine; the effects after taking it... largely depend on the individual.

"Never mind."

In the end, Oboro gave up on the idea.

He can still go now... before Saitama makes a move.

He rescued his Fukegao... but the problem is, they are from two different worlds, and this is a technological achievement.

This means that even with the technological foundation of Hunter x Hunter, and even if they possessed Fukegao's research and development technology and theories, they might not be able to create this potion.

The levels and material foundations are different.

"I can actually use a little bit of the power of 'space and time' now... Is it possible to bring life forms from other worlds into the Hunter x Hunter?" Long started to 'brainstorm' again, but ordinary life forms are simply unable to resist the torrent of space and time, even if they abandon their physical bodies and only have a soul left.

One's own soul possesses a 'specialness' that no other life form can match.

"With Saitama's physical body, he might be able to withstand the torrent of time and space... but he is an integral part of this world, and it's difficult for him to take him away. Even if he wanted to, the Will Tree would definitely not allow it." Oboro paused in eating potato chips. "Although going to the Dark Continent Hunter x Hunter could allow Saitama to regain excitement and a fresh sense of life... but asking him to leave his hometown, he would probably still refuse."

"Well."

Finally, Oboro let out a long sigh.

"The only way is to use the power of time and space to connect the two worlds, ensuring travel back and forth... but that's too difficult for me right now. Even after returning to Hunter x Hunter, it would probably take a very long time to achieve this..."

Saitama possesses extraordinary power, and it is harmless, for Hunter x Hunter.

Therefore, if possible, Oboro would be happy to let it visit his world.

Just like him now.

Then, Long gathered her thoughts and looked towards the doorway.

A few minutes earlier, he had noticed someone coming downstairs at the apartment building.

It's not Saitama.

Instead, they were a few strangers.

He didn't know him.

Knock knock knock.

The moment I looked over, there was a knock on the door.
