At that moment, the man wearing the white dog hood looked up in confusion and twitched his nose vigorously at Gawain.
Then, he spoke to Gawain with a blank expression and an emotionless voice.
Are you Monster?
Or is it human?
As soon as he finished speaking, the Watchdog Man raised his head and looked at Gawain's face earnestly but without any emotion.
However, despite his lack of emotion, Gawain immediately saw through the passion hidden within him.
That's the indescribable passion that arises when facing a powerful enemy... a passion that could potentially set the entire organism ablaze.
As for Gawain, listening to the Watchdog Man's words, he already understood what kind of world he was in.
The man in front of her wearing a dog costume was very strange, but before she transmigrated, his image was that of a fairly well-known anime character.
That's right, Q City, the Monster, the dog in a suit!
The person in front of me who treats me like a dog is none other than Watchdog Man, the twelfth S- Hero Association hero in the One-Punch Man manga!
Now that he knew about the world before him, Gawain felt much more relaxed, and the sense of uncertainty about the New World instantly diminished.
In this world, justice is the absolute protagonist. As long as one is not a member of the chaotic evil camp, even if one is inexplicably hunted down by evil powerful figures all over the world.
Then a strange bald man in a cape will suddenly appear in front of you.
That bald man with the cape, whose style is completely unlike that of a hero, is a hero created purely out of interest.
In this world, he is an invincible being...
So, this is yet another world where one cannot improve their own potential or overcome the limitations of their ability to contain the sounds of all things...
Gawain was somewhat disappointed; now, he was more eager to free himself from Vegapunk's Golden Throne.
With the conquest of the Pirate World imminent, he needs to mobilize more energy to quickly and precisely conquer the entire world step by step.
Whether it's Sakazuki or Kuzan, although their subordinates are excellent, they are native to the world and find it difficult to break through the barriers of the world and broaden their perspective from the sea to the sky.
If left to their own devices, they might achieve great things, but that would be too slow.
Managing your own portfolio is far too slow!
Across from him, the Watchdog Man seemed to sense Gawain's disappointment.
He tilted his head expressionlessly and then said without any emotion.
"You're disappointed, isn't that strange?"
You make me nervous. You're strong, though not to the point of being insurmountable, but you are very strong.
But you didn't destroy the city, and you're still disappointed?
"Did I disappoint you?"
As he asked, the Watchdog Man sniffed even more intently.
Gawain truly smelled of the sea; even though he had fallen from the sky, the scent of the ocean was undeniable.
Surely other planets don't have the smell of the ocean, right?
So, this is an Earthling who accidentally ended up in space?
So, they're native to the planet?
There was still a bloody smell on him, from humans and other creatures.
There wasn't much hatred lingering around this person, so his killings might not have been motivated by the Monster pursuit of entertainment or hatred.
So he's not Monster, but rather, a very strange human being?
Sigh, humans are so hard to define; dogs like myself are much simpler.
You can tell whether a dog is happy or not at a glance...
After a brief moment of thought, the Watchdog Man lost interest in Gawain.
Before Gawain could continue the conversation, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gawain was slightly taken aback when he saw the Watchdog Man suddenly disappear, then looked toward the place where the Watchdog Man had reappeared.
That's strange, shouldn't Watchdog Man be sitting on the Watchdog Man memorial post in Hero Square in Q City?
Why is he instead lying on the roof of a building?
Although somewhat curious, Gawain did not readily activate his ability to Voice of All Things.
Although the world beneath our feet has Saitama, the strongest being who is absolutely lawful, there is still a presence of him.
But in reality, this world is not only filled with gods and demons, but even planets have their own will.
Therefore, seeing that Watchdog Man didn't pursue the matter of how he appeared, Gawain also didn't get too involved with Watchdog Man.
There is still water in this world, and it's not shallow.
What I should do at this moment is not to casually befriend S-Hero and reveal the fact that I suddenly appeared.
Instead, they temporarily integrate into this world and gradually become mainstream characters in the current world, that is, heroes in the Hero Association.
As for the end...
Although this world does not have a way like Dragon Ball that can completely overcome the limitations of one's own mind.
However, if we look at it from another perspective, although there are no magical wish-granting devices here, the world of One-Punch Man does have limit gates and limiters that imprison the potential of living beings!
Removing the limiter is also breaking the body's limits.
If I could find my limiter in this world and break it in one fell swoop.
At that time, I'll probably be indirectly strengthened, and at the same time, find a way to perfectly control the ability to Voice of All Things.
Thinking of this, Gawain let out a long sigh.
Thankfully, even though it's not the world I wanted to go to, I can still find my purpose here.
So what I need to do now is choose a city and then temporarily integrate into it.
Now, after living in the city for half a month or a month, I accumulate some spending records after moving, which helps me to be somewhat assured that I won't be targeted by the other side.
You can take the Hero Association exam, become a hero, and then search for your limiter in the constant battles against Monster, trying to tear it apart completely!
So, which city should I go to?
After a long while, in City Z.
Gawain raised his head and stared blankly at the dilapidated street ahead.
That place is the no-man's-land of Z City, a deserted area said to be where many demon-level Monster lurk.
And that is precisely the main city in the One-Punch Man manga where Saitama, Genos, King, and others live together!
Z City is extremely large. In addition to the uninhabited area where Saitama lives, Z City also has a series of areas such as the municipal area, the Hero Association area, the commercial area, the central area, the island area, the suburbs, and the underground area.
In terms of population, the Z City has a total population of over 30 million.
This city is really quite big.
Considering that Monster appear in Z City almost every day, the population base must be quite large.
Furthermore, there are virtually no large countries in the world today; each city is essentially the only human settlement in a vast area.
And the city...
Today, there are probably fewer than thirty cities left in the world whose names are listed starting with a letter.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Z City has such a large scale.
Although the area before us is riddled with holes by monsters, humanity's technological prowess and numbers remain considerable.
For technological advancements to develop sustainably, the total population remains a crucial factor.
After a brief observation of the environment in Z City, Gawain quietly integrated into the Z City.
He used some of his gold jewelry to rent a small apartment in the commercial district of Z City, and then joined Z City as an immigrant from Q City.
The Watchdog Man of Q City has seen him before, and if anyone investigates his background, the Watchdog Man will undoubtedly vouch for his identity.
After all, Watchdog Man doesn't explain or talk much; once you're approved of him, you can practically fabricate your own identity at will.
That's a good idea, but it's only our first day in Z City.
Gawain encountered a problem.
Don't forget, he wanted to create a plausible identity for himself before joining the Hero Association.
Result...
After Gawain had been active in Z City for a while...
He was dismayed to discover that... in this damned One-Punch Man world, there was no famous Hero Association!
That joke went way too far!
What about the Hero Association?
Could it be that I've transmigrated into a One-Punch Man world that took place long before the One-Punch Man storyline?
If that's the case, then Watchdog Man shouldn't be here. Isn't he a hero of the Hero Association?
So, did I end up in One-Punch Man world that was flapped by butterfly wings?
Before Gawain transmigrated, he didn't have much time to spend reading comics.
Of course, he had no idea that the Hero Association, so famous in the One-Punch Man manga, was actually just a fledgling organization less than three years old...
Gawain devoted most of his spare time back then to the game "Dead Fire Sea".
Without carefully reading a comic book, Gawain only has a basic impression of One-Punch Man.
In conclusion
Full of confusion, Gawain took a walk in the commercial district of Z City.
Despite the frequent attacks by Monster in this world, Z City's commercial street remains incredibly prosperous, which is quite a miracle.
As he strolled along, Gawain stopped at a café.
Sipping his coffee, he listened quietly to the sounds around him.
That's right, there really is no Hero Association in this world!
When passersby talked about the Monster, Gawain only heard words like "Tanktop Army," "Council of Swordmasters," "dojo," and "martial arts school."
Therefore, most of the Monster to date have been resolved by the aforementioned organizations.
The number of the Tanktop Army is enormous, with gyms in many cities. Their boss is "Tanktop Master," and they have a series of fitness powerhouses under him, such as "Tanktop Girl Chaser" and "Tanktop Dog."
The Council of Swordmasters is a relatively mysterious organization. Most of its swordsmen wander the world and do not exist in any particular city.
It's just that when Monster appear in certain cities, the Council of Swordmasters members will kill them as they come across them.
There are quite a few martial arts schools in this world, each teaching different styles of boxing. In Z City alone, there are more than eighty martial arts schools.
However, according to passersby, martial arts schools are barely able to deal with Monster, and most martial arts school owners do not have the ability to fight Monster.
However, the citizens actually quite approve of the martial arts schools. Although the people in the various martial arts schools don't have particularly strong skills, they at least have the ability to run away from Monster.
Most importantly, compared to the mysterious Council of Swordmasters and the Tanktop Army whose members look incredibly tough and are covered in muscular muscles.
Or perhaps it's the more ordinary apprentices at the martial arts school who convince the public that they are more likely to become like them.
As for the dojo...
The significance of a dojo is far more sacred than that of a martial arts school. It seems that only martial arts schools that have proven their strength more than once are qualified to eventually open a dojo.
There are currently no officially recognized dojos in Z City, and the most famous dojo is the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist dojo located in H City...
The dojo of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist doesn't have a special name; they simply name it after the fist style they teach.
The reason this dojo is so famous is because Bang, the master of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, is now an invincible martial arts master!
Not only martial arts masters across the land, but even the Council of Swordmasters dared not directly confront the prowess of Bang.
As for the Monster...
So far, the citizens haven't seen a single Monster who could give Bang a hard time!
Right now, sitting in the coffee shop, Gawain is listening to a short story by Bang.
About four days ago, in X City, which is near Z City, a very powerful Monster launched a surprise attack on the city.
That Monster destroyed a third of Z City with a single blow, but even so, Monster was instantly killed in three moves by the quickly arriving Bang!
This is the formidable reputation Bang earned through sheer hard work in countless cities.
Of course, besides the Council of Swordmasters, the Vest Fitness Stick, and the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist Dojo, there are also a series of other large forces.
Individual heroism did not yet exist in this world.
For example, there are widespread legends about Blast in Z City.
It is said that he was a hero who acted out of interest, occasionally appearing in different cities according to his own whims.
No matter what kind of enemy he faces, the legendary hero Blast can utterly destroy them with a single punch!
Well, this is practically another Saitama. Hearing this, Gawain even suspected that Blast had become Saitama's replacement in this bizarre One-Punch Man world.
But as he listened, Gawain began to sense that something was amiss.
Although stories of Blast are widely circulated, surprisingly few people have actually witnessed Blast!
This so-called legendary hero actually only appeared a few times.
The Blast comics that are very popular on the market today were created by a boy named Yong.
That child also had a code name called Virginity, and that child happened to have been saved by Blast back then.
Therefore, it was that child who kept spreading the heroic deeds of the Blast throughout the world.
In reality, no matter how much the child promoted it, the Blast didn't even happen on Earth.
At least in recent years, hardly anyone has even seen a real Blast.
As for the reputation of Blast...
Aside from that kid Tong Zhenyong constantly drawing Blast comics.
Two years ago, a superpowered woman named Tatsumaki, who suddenly rose to prominence in S City, also seemed to be a major factor.
As soon as the woman with superpowers appeared, she used her powers to kill two Monsters who had nearly destroyed S City.
After that, Tatsumaki temporarily resided in S City, and would occasionally float arrogantly in the sky, Monster while proclaiming things like... "If Blast were here, you wouldn't even have a chance to show up."
People love Yong's comics, but they fear Tatsumaki's power even more.
Thus, Blast gradually became mythologized in people's minds.
Very few people actually witnessed the Blast.
But the number of people claiming to have been saved by Blast is increasing...
That's it.
