Since today is a meeting of S-class heroes, it means that Boros's spaceship will be landing on Earth in no time.

In the original work, although Saitama and Boros seemed to be fighting fiercely, in reality, it didn't take long before the latter was defeated.

Therefore, Oboro was just taking a stroll.

She had no intention of interacting with other S-class heroes, but of course, if they initiated a conversation without malice, Oboro wouldn't mind getting to know them.

But Oboro really doesn't want to bother with characters like Atomic Samurai.

"Little Tatsumaki, lead the way down the road."

With a smile, Oboro glanced at Tatsumaki, who had been puffing out her cheeks and glaring at Tatsumaki with hatred ever since he and Saitama appeared, and called out to her affectionately.

"Don't try to get close to me with that tone... We're not done yet!"

"A guy like you doesn't deserve to be here."

Tatsumaki stomped her high heels, her face tense, and turned away.

"Huh?"

Bang and Atomic Samurai were both taken aback by Tatsumaki's attitude.

They were quite familiar with Tatsumaki... If there was anyone on the scene most likely to be unhappy about Oboro's appearance, it would be this woman.

Given Tatsumaki's personality, it's impossible that she would just leave after saying a few words.

Furthermore, both of them noticed that Tatsumaki's gaze towards Oboro seemed... somewhat fearful? "Why is she always like this..."

Saitama couldn't help but complain.

As they spoke, the three of them began to walk toward the meeting room.

"Hey, newbie... you're being really rude. I was the one trying to be friendly with you, you know." Atomic Samurai said with a sneer as he looked at Oboro's back.

They ignored it completely.

"Never mind, let's go over there first."

Bang patted Atomic Samurai on the shoulder, acting as peacemaker.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Atomic Samurai took a small step forward with his toes.

This one step immediately caused the expression on the Silver Fang's face to change slightly.

In the passage, a sliver of cold light suddenly shot up, sharp and slender, as if even space itself had been torn apart.

Atomic Samurai made his move! Of course, he wasn't actually aiming at Oboro himself; he just wanted to put the blade to Oboro's neck and teach this impolite newcomer a lesson.

But... as he darted behind Oboro and the blade flashed down, suddenly, his limbs froze.

His pupils constricted as he stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

A layer of white sweat appeared on his forehead.

Bang, standing some distance away, also looked bewildered.

At that moment, Oboro turned slightly and used two fingers to pinch the blade in Atomic Samurai's hand, causing the sword to stop abruptly and be fixed at the angle and height of its fall.

It's important to know that Atomic Samurai is a member of the Council of Swordmasters. His S-class hero status is naturally due to his immense strength and impressive achievements. His swordsmanship is renowned for its ability to shatter atoms... Even this Atomic Slash, which he's only demonstrating now, without using his full power or a finishing Atomic Slash, is still not something anyone can withstand.

Moreover, Oboro's act of catching a blade barehanded is no longer considered parrying, but rather a counterattack.

"The fourth S-class hero, huh..."

Oboro looked at Atomic Samurai and chuckled as he muttered something in his sleep.

Atomic Samurai's blade trembled incessantly, but no matter how hard he tried, the blade could not break free from Oboro's fingertips.

In the end, it was Oboro who loosened his grip, allowing Atomic Samurai to retract his weapon.

Then, Oboro turned his head... not bothering to argue with the Atomic Samurai who had offended him, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, and continued on his way with Saitama and his apprentice.

Behind them, only Bang and Atomic Samurai remained, still somewhat dazed by what had just happened.

"Now I understand a little why Sekingar has been going against the grain to keep his S-class hero status."

Silver Fang grinned, walked to Atomic Samurai's side, and whispered, "This person is far stronger than me..."

Bang of martial arts, immediately recognized the terrifying nature of this Heartless Hero. Oboro's reaction was not merely a matter of intuition or speed... but rather, the opponent sensed it the moment Atomic Samurai took his Ta Bu.

Furthermore, the terrifying finger strength and the angle at which the blade was held... clearly showed the influence of some kind of martial arts.

He could sense it... but he couldn't see through it.

This shows that Oboro's martial arts level is definitely above his.

Bang only said that Oboro was far stronger than himself, without including Atomic Samurai, which was also to give the latter a way out.

He is the third-ranked S-class hero, even above Atomic Samurai.

"The B-class hero Saitama will definitely be a genius ranked above S-class in the future... Don't underestimate him."

Bang said one more thing, then walked away with his hands behind his back and a smile.

Since Long was a friend of the bald boy, he wasn't surprised that Long possessed such extraordinary strength.

After all, he had witnessed Saitama smash a giant meteorite with One-Punch Man, and the shock he felt was even greater.

However, it's inevitable that Bang will lament that he's getting old... The human world is truly full of hidden talents.

As a guardian hero, he was still very happy to see newcomers like Saitama and Oboro emerge.

After everyone had left, Atomic Samurai looked at his sword, recalled the scene that had just occurred, and slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, he sheathed his knife and walked silently toward the conference room.

In less than half an hour, all the S-class heroes had arrived.

Other heroes, even if they had some reservations about Oboro's appearance, did not express them openly.

They won't choose this time to cause trouble.

Atomic Samurai was just an isolated case, a minor episode.

Sekingar and several other key executives, including Sekingar, also appeared with solemn expressions.

As Sekingar walked toward the head seat at the table, he passed by Oboro and breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrival of Long filled him with joy.

However, he quickly composed himself, met the gazes of the S-class heroes, and announced the reason for gathering them together.

It was Shibabawa's prophecy that the Earth would be destroyed in the near future.

Humanity will face the greatest catastrophe in history.

Sekingar's expression was serious, clearly intending to evoke a sense of crisis in everyone so that they could discuss countermeasures... but two people were actually 'out of the loop'.

One is Saitama, who can't understand, and the other is Oboro, who is taking a nap with her eyes closed.

Seeing Long's expression, Sekingar sighed inwardly... He didn't expect the man to react in any way; the fact that the other party had come at all was already a good start.

Everyone was discussing amongst themselves, with Child Emperor speaking the most. This little boy was indeed brilliant... He asked about the key points without any unnecessary words.

Although Oboro appeared to be asleep, he was actually constantly sensing the situation around him.

A moment later, halfway through the meeting, he opened his eyes a crack.

It's here!

Outside the headquarters building, a dark shadow loomed over the entire city of City A.

It fell from the sky under the shocked and terrified gazes of countless people.
