My World

"What happened?"

After Oboro captured Saitama's soul, Genos, who was outside, noticed that something was wrong.

He immediately went to the vicinity of the place where Oboro and the other two were.

But he found that he couldn't get close at all.

It's as if if you walk ten meters forward, the space between you and the other person will also move back ten meters, keeping a certain distance between you.

Strangely, not only did the scenery and environment around Genos remain unchanged as he moved, but the scenery around Oboro and Saitama also remained the same.

Saitama and Oboro seemed to have lost their minds, remaining frozen in place.

No matter how Genos called out, it was to no avail.

He couldn't understand... what had happened between the two of them.

Oboro could separate Saitama's soul from his body.

But... it's not a complete separation. Just like what he observed when he first met the bald man, Saitama's body and spirit are inseparable.

Even if Saitama's soul were to appear in spiritual form right now, his soul would still be just as 'powerful' as his physical body.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In the spiritual realm, which is different from the real world, explosions were heard continuously.

Oboro and Saitama fought fiercely.

Within a gray and chaotic 'space, 'Saitama's white cloak completely transformed into a 'flash of light,' because his speed was too fast, and with each move, the cloak alone could produce a sharp sound that seemed to tear the air apart, while the surging soul wind curtain further dispersed the 'ruthless and endless' ocean of souls behind Oboro.

At this moment, the wandering spirits in the entire spiritual realm had completely exploded due to the 'confrontation' between the two, and spread out of control to every corner.

Even Oboro couldn't fully control it; he could only control a portion of it.

Bang! Saitama shot towards Oboro and delivered One-Punch Man.

The red gauntlets seemed to be magnified infinitely in Oboro's vision, eventually becoming as large as a meteorite falling from the sky.

This was merely the power of One-Punch Man, causing him mental confusion... a manifestation of soul-shaking pressure.

However, before the One-Punch Man could land, a massive Chain shot out from the sea of souls behind Saitama, wrapping around his arm. Then, the 'God' hidden within the soul mist, Thresh, pulled hard, slamming Saitama violently onto the ground with a terrifying sound.

"Although your soul and body seem to be one, inseparable... the quality of your soul, or rather, the soul system that has arisen in this world, is still too low... the setting is not comprehensive or rich enough, and it does not reach my level. In other words, in my eyes... you still have flaws." High in the domain, Oboro, surrounded by eerie green soul flames, even had one eye transformed into the shape of a ghostly fire, looked down at Saitama and said coldly.

Moreover... Saitama's willpower originates from humanity. Even though he is deeply bound to the Will Tree and the world, the alternate dimension they inhabit is, after all, on the edge of the multiverse, quite far from Earth. This will more or less affect Saitama's state.

Long also wanted to give it a try. With his current strength and his multiple preparations, could he fight the bald man to a standstill?

As for beating Saitama... Oboro has no hope at all.

This was also the first time he had faced an enemy, and he had no chance of winning.

"Hahaha... this feeling of fighting... is amazing!"

"As expected, my hunch was right..."

Saitama's laughter came from below, Thresh's Chain instantly tightened, pulled straight by a force.

Long's eyelids twitched.

The bald man, whose arm was clearly bound by Chain, grabbed the Chain with his backhand and pulled hard... The terrifying force caused Thresh, hidden in the soul smoke, to fall over despite his massive size. Then, Saitama, clad in a white cloak, soared into the sky and jumped directly in front of Thresh.

"Serious Series ..." Saitama bent his elbow, his expression serious, "Serious Punch!"

After saying that, his fist landed on Thresh's head.

Boom! Immediately afterwards, Thresh's body, which was like a giant standing tall, exploded and turned into countless remnants of souls.

After throwing One-Punch Man, the bald man instantly charged straight at Long.

"The Serious Series, Blow!"

This time, instead of attacking at close range, he puffed out his cheeks and took a deep breath.

Then, he suddenly vomited it out.

Suddenly, the gale that Saitama spewed from his mouth became almost a tangible metal object. The wind curtain was no longer a cutting or brushing sensation; it was simply a kind of destructive energy that killed anything it touched.

Oboro... did not dodge.

In the face of such an offensive, dodging is no longer an option.

In the blink of an eye, everything in the space in front of Saitama vanished without a trace, just like snow in the third month of spring, melting and evaporating in an instant.

This reminded Long of a scene from the original work.

When facing Garou, Saitama's previously unnoticed growth curve, driven by his intense emotions, temporarily surged to an inexplicable degree. With just a serious sneeze, he blasted away half of the surface of Jupiter.

Yes, it was just a sneeze.

And now... it seems to be an even more serious 'wind' than a sneeze.

"This is... insane. Is this the power of a top-tier dimensional protagonist?" A thought arose in Oboro's soul the instant it vanished.

He finally got his wish and witnessed Saitama's power firsthand...

But this power is so overwhelming that it makes people despair, let alone think about winning... It's a miracle that one's will doesn't collapse.

Oboro realized something more... Saitama, that bastard, doesn't have a fixed 'range of power'; simply put, his power is limitless.

The truly 'unlimited potential' of the bald guy is his inherent 'growth curve'.

This thing can make him unleash a power a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the one he had a second ago.

It was an 'outburst' without reason or rules.

Because that's how he is in the world of One-Punch Man.

Long couldn't help but think of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball is definitely a top-tier dimension.

But the world is different. Whether it's Kakarot or any other character... within a certain time period or storyline, everyone's strength is fixed, within a limited level. Only through subsequent training and growth can they become stronger.

But Saitama's... is completely illogical.

Oboro never commented on which enemy was abnormal, except for Hisoka, who was just stating the facts. Saitama was the first enemy who made him feel 'powerless'.

Of course, Oboro has developed a resilient character through his journey so far. Saitama is indeed unparalleled in strength, but it does not frustrate him... On the contrary, it arouses his competitive spirit.

"Even if you extract your soul... it's useless within your own domain?"

A murmur echoed in the area where the power of the soul seemed to have completely dissipated.

Saitama looked around.

They discovered that the soul power that had been annihilated by their own attack was beginning to reappear in this 'space'.

Even the 'giant' that was blown apart by One-Punch Man has had its physique reconstructed.

A green ghostly fire ignited from the sky, then burst into flames and transformed back into the form of Oboro.

"Yay..."

Saitama's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Wow, that's amazing... You're invincible?"

Oboro looked at Saitama and gave a cold laugh.

For the first time, his expression became arrogant, or rather, it was more of a sense of pride.

"Your ability can destroy everything... In your spiritual form, every strike you make has the same effect as soul pressure, and normally you can destroy these ghostly powers... But the problem is, just as I said, your soul is very strong... but the level is too low. Within this domain, no matter how you attack, the total amount of these soul powers will not change, it will not decrease by even a fraction... because you can't do it."

Long continued calmly, "Your world gave birth to you, and my world gave birth to me... This is the power that originated from my world, a 'crystallization of power' bestowed upon me by a continent called Dark Continent."

"Although my world is not a top-level dimension... it has its merits."

"I brought it with me..."

"Saitama, the soul may not be a rule, but it is mysterious... Its mysteries cannot be compared to pure power."

"That sounds pretty impressive..."

Saitama scratched his cheek.

"Even if it's you, even in this world... Hunter x Hunter still won't lose to any opponent. Having come from there... I only know one thing."

"No matter who my opponent is, I will not lose, nor will I allow myself to lose."

"This is what I learned, and what it taught me."

Saitama heard the voice and sensed the conviction conveyed in Oboro's words.

The bald man clenched his fist again, his fighting spirit surging, and said excitedly, "Oh? Is that so... then let's continue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Long grinned and pounced on the bald man.

The battle... has only just begun!

In this battle, Oboro represents not only himself... but also the Hunter x Hunter world.
