I Came Out for a Morning Run

Within the space of the Heavenly Rock Cave, the God struggled to stand up and roared to the sky.

It struggled with all its might, even when it was being burned alive by the ghost fire.

"Be quiet."

Standing high in the sky, Long spoke softly.

Then, the Chain binding the God's body tightened suddenly, beginning to compress the target's torso.

But Thresh's Chain creaked and groaned as they were constantly being pried open by the God's limbs; the sheer force of this desperate counterattack was somewhat frightening.

Finally, the Chain were broken by brute force, and the God opened his palm, with stars seemingly flowing in his palm, and swung it towards Long.

"Oh."

Long smiled knowingly.

Behind him, in the vast ocean of souls, Thresh instantly surged into his body.

Then, his appearance changed.

His flesh and skin began to blur, turning him into a smaller version of Thresh.

With one hand, Long lifted the lantern at one end of the Chain, and with the other hand, he swung the hook axe of the Chain. The terrifying axe light, as if splitting the Heaven-Opening, instantly shattered the falling stars, and its momentum did not diminish. The axe head cut into the head of the God.

"Death Sentence ..." he murmured in his sleep.

However, he opened the lantern's valve, and a huge soul cage rose up around the God opposite, trapping him in the center.

His eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

"The Netherworld Prison..."

With a murmur, he slowly closed the lantern, drawing its spirit through the opening.

The boundless power of the soul instantly engulfed the God like a tidal wave, transforming into a trickle of water like a whale sucking in water, which flew into the Soul Lamp and was drawn in.

Smack

Finally, he closed the Soul Lamp and slowly raised it.

The God had already transformed into a ball of soul flame, flickering in the Soul Lamp, and was now within his grasp.

The battle is over.

Oboro returned to her original form and withdrew her soul power.

The space where they were located Heavenly Rock Cave, once again became pitch black, where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

"A very special spatial structure... The soul domain I created is only suitable for soul-based confrontations, but this space... can not only materialize consciousness, but also produce many changes. That star power just now... is indeed quite something; it was genuinely manifested from its consciousness."

Oboro praised.

It's like God saying, "Let there be light," and there was light...

However, in Oboro's soul domain, it is impossible to transform soul power into a certain form.

However, because of the foundation of the soul, Oboro's consciousness is far stronger than that of the God.

Therefore, it is very simple to crush all of the opponent's attacks.

"We've taken it in, but... whether we can take it with us depends on the Will Tree's will."

Long raised an eyebrow, casually opened a spatial rift, and returned to Earth.

The system can indeed convert God into resource cards, but in doing so, the God lose their value.

Moreover, due to its special nature, once it is turned into a card, it is difficult to give it to others.

It's easy to see from the setting of One-Punch Man that even a fraction of the power, a fraction of the power weakened countless times, would be difficult for an ordinary human body to withstand the power of God.

Otherwise, the God would have already been reborn in another body and descended to Earth.

Ordinary people, once baptized, may die in the blink of an eye.

The divine power that the Wandering Emperor obtained was but a drop in the ocean.

This is a consciousness life form belonging to a top-tier dimension...

If converted into a card, I'm afraid no one in the Hunter x Hunter could afford it, and it would become a useless card.

But if we could take the complete form of the God with us, that would be a different story.

Without the system's help, traveling through time and space with a captive God is more like theft than the system's forced plundering attribute.

Therefore, it depends on whether the Will Tree of One-Punch Man will allow it to pass.

The power of the God could be used for his research; on the other hand, it might be very interesting if he could bring it to the Dark Continent ...

The concept of God is a separate entity, just like his desire to bring Saitama into the world of Hunter x Hunter.

The Will Tree certainly not allow Saitama to leave this dimension, but as for God, it probably doesn't matter.

Oboro emerged from the spatial rift and stepped back onto the streets of the no-man's-land.

He's in a good mood now; his goal has been successfully achieved.

The God has been apprehended, so we can now prepare to leave.

"Woof woof!"

As soon as he appeared on the street, Oboro heard a commotion coming from afar.

He then saw a small black dog running frantically in his direction, seemingly because he was blocking its way. The dog barked in a childish voice while opening its mouth and conjuring an energy sphere that resembled a light cannon.

The Monster Association, with Pochi possessing dangerous abilities at the Dragon level or higher.

At this time, it is very small.

It turned into a miniature black puppy, and it was kind of cute.

But when Oboro saw a familiar figure chasing closely behind Pochi, he understood.

The person who arrived was Saitama.

The bald man is chasing the puppy.

Pochi originally intended to use his beam cannon to blast the humans blocking his way, but as he got closer, he saw Oboro's face.

Its fur stood on end, and the energy in its mouth immediately dissipated, turning into wisps of smoke and disappearing.

It obediently stopped a dozen meters in front of Long.

After lying down, it rolled over, exposing its belly, and was still wagging its tail in a fawning manner.

Although it looked like a dog, Oboro seemed to see 'a head full of cold sweat' on Pochi's furry face.

Although Pochi possessed strength exceeding that of a Dragon-level monster, its intelligence was clearly low, only slightly higher than that of an ordinary pet... Even so, it could see how profound the fear it had 'created' for it was. In the underground Monster Association's lair, after he casually 'erased' Monster King Orochi and Black Sperm, all the monsters immediately scattered and fled... Pochi was naturally among them.

This dog must have encountered Saitama while running away, and then, in its panic, bumped into itself as it rushed back.

From the moment he entered the Monster Association's lair to the moment he took away the God, it was less than half an hour.

It didn't take long.

He glanced around at the dilapidated buildings and urban area nearby, and understood everything.

The large-scale escape of members of the Monster Association must have attracted the attention of Saitama and Genos, leading to a battle... Pochi was one of the victims.

What are you doing here?

In the blink of an eye, Saitama appeared in front of him and stopped in his tracks.

He stared at Oboro in surprise.

"I'm just going for a walk."

Long gave a casual reply.

The funny thing is, the puppy that was wagging its tail and begging for mercy from Oboro just a second ago quickly rolled over and hid behind the bald man when Saitama approached.

Even though both Saitama and he are enemies of the puppy, it seems that in Pochi's eyes, he is even more terrifying than the bald guy, and at this moment, he seems to be yearning for Saitama to protect him.

"You bastard..." Saitama was also baffled by Pochi's reaction, and grabbed the puppy by its fur and pulled it up from the ground.

Then, looking at Oboro, "You recognize it?"

"I don't know him."

"Then why does it look like it's afraid of you?"

"How would I know?"

Long walked towards the apartment on her own.

"I don't know what happened... a lot of strange people suddenly appeared in this no-man's-land. Genos and I were having dinner at home when we suddenly felt some noise outside, so we thought we'd come out and take a look." Saitama grabbed Pochi and immediately followed.

"Didn't you run into any weirdos?"

"We hit two of them."

The two walked side by side, chatting casually.

As he spoke, Oboro reached into his clothes and pulled out two cube-shaped spatial fragments.

Trapped inside are the Monster King Orochi and Black Sperm.

"Could it be that you're the one who caused this?"

The bald man stared at the monster king Orochi and the Black Sperm, blinked, stared at Oboro's profile, and suddenly said something.

"What does this have to do with me... I already said, I just go for a morning run and breathe in some fresh morning air."

"..."
