The Universe Killer Hit
Hit is the most famous assassin in the Galactic Assassin Organization. He always works alone and has a 100% mission completion rate since his debut. There is no mission he has failed to complete.
Each assassination attempt was carried out silently, and no amount of guarding could save the target; no one knew how Hit managed it.
His mysterious and unpredictable assassination skills terrified everyone, and the wealthy avoided him like the plague. As a result, Hit's name was particularly renowned, making him a pillar of the assassin organization. However, he was also very selective in choosing his missions, relying entirely on personal preference and not accepting missions simply because of high prices.
Those assassinated by Hit were often parasites in the universe.
In a sense, Hit was more like a representative chosen by Champa and Vados. If it weren't for his overly aloof personality, Vados would have planned to train him as God of Destruction Candidate.
After completing another mission, Hit destroyed the photos of the target.
Just then, Hit's brows twitched slightly, a hint of seriousness appearing on his usually stern face. He raised his head, his eyes fixed on the dark sky.
"A strange fluctuation."
Hit murmured to himself, his hands, which were in his pockets, unconsciously clenched into fists, a hazy white light gathering at the tips of his fists. If anything happened next, he would strike without hesitation.
With a whoosh, accompanied by a slight spatial ripple, a tall figure appeared in Hit's sight. It was a black-haired man whose body shone with a silver-gray light. He had a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and his golden eyes were particularly bright and full of deep light.
The person who appeared before Hit was none other than Roland.
After obtaining a list of powerful warriors from Universe 6 from Supreme Kai Fuwa, he began to challenge these warriors. After several probing battles, Roland finally found Hit, who was at the top of the power rankings.
"Huh, it's actually a First-Level Sequence powerhouse."
Somewhat astonished, Hit's expression turned serious as he stared at the powerful figure who had suddenly appeared before him.
A powerful being like Hit, who has reached the pinnacle of the universe, is qualified to access the deeper mysteries of the universe, so he is also aware of the division of the Spirit God Realm. Since Roland did not deliberately hide his strength when he appeared, his surging energy was clearly revealed, and Hit saw through his strength at a glance.
He simply didn't know when such a powerful expert had appeared in the universe.
Moreover, the silver-gray light emanating from the other party gave him a rather peculiar feeling.
While Hit was observing Roland was also sizing him up.
Roland's gaze fell on Hit, and feeling the unfathomable power emanating from Hit, his fighting spirit surged uncontrollably.
Hit is an alien with purple skin, red eyes, and a heavy, long coat. He habitually keeps his hands in his pockets and is usually taciturn, giving off a very calm vibe. Although he is an assassin, he acts with integrity and is not as sinister as other assassins.
"Who are you? I've never seen you in the universe. A master like you shouldn't be unknown."
Hit's cold voice rang out.
"My name is Roland, and I come from Planet Sadala. I've come to challenge you because I learned of your strength from the Supreme Kai." Roland stated his reason directly.
Supreme Kai?
"So it's a challenger," Hit nodded knowingly, glancing at Roland before coldly saying, "Go back. I will not accept your challenge."
"Why?"
"My main skill is killing; I show no mercy. You don't want to die by my hand like this, do you?" Hit shook his head and said coldly.
Roland did not give up. He came to find Hit to experience his strength. As for death, to be honest, he was not afraid at all. Before he came out to challenge, he had already made a wish for resurrection with the Dragon Ball. As long as he had the Dragon Ball, he could be resurrected at any time.
"Hit, please accept my challenge," Roland said solemnly.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Seeing Roland's persistent attitude, Hit frowned.
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'd much rather spar with you. Saiyan have always been stubborn in their pursuit of strength, and I don't mind facing danger to improve my power." Roland grinned. Hit turned around and said coldly, "I've heard about the Saiyan's stubbornness, but I have a mission to carry out and don't have time to fight you."
"We can wait until after your mission is over."
"..."
Hit didn't speak, but his gaze sharpened slightly, and time seemed to stand still for a moment, the entire background turning gray.
When the flow of time resumed, Hit's figure had already disappeared from sight.
He had no interest in sparring; if he couldn't freely use his signature skills, his strength was essentially halved, and he disliked fighting with his hands tied.
Time Skip!
Seeing Hit's figure inexplicably disappear from sight, Roland's eyes lit up, realizing that Hit had just used his signature move.
"Time Skip" is a technique that jumps through time, roughly 0.1 seconds in an instant. Although this time seems short, in high-level battles, this amount of time is enough to execute hundreds of moves, making it a decisive move.
Time Skip is an almost unsolvable ability. Its main function is to allow the caster to gain more time than the opponent. For those who are not familiar with the rules of time or have never been exposed to them, this move is almost impossible to counter. However, Roland is the only one who is not afraid of this move because he has comprehended the Ultra Instinct Sign.
Although the Ultra Instinct Sign is only Ultra Instinct, it already possesses some of the functions of Ultra Instinct —it allows for the ability to anticipate events in battle.
This is precisely the fundamental principle behind countering Time-Skip, which is why Hit's Time Skip is useless against the Ultra Instinct Sign.
"Hit is the strongest opponent I've encountered in Universe 6, how can I let you get away!"
After thinking it over, he activated Instant Transmission and immediately caught up with Hit's figure.
Roland's Instant Transmission combined the Instant Transmission Transfer Technique of Planet Metamor and Planet Yardrat, almost comparable to the teleportation ability of Supreme Kai. Without the slightest delay, Roland's figure reappeared beside Hit.
Hit was slightly surprised to see Roland suddenly appear.
"You actually managed to catch up."
"This is Instant Transmission ability. I've already locked onto your presence, so I can catch up no matter where you go," Roland said with a faint smile.
Hit was surprised for a moment, then said coldly, "If you want to fight me, be prepared to be killed. You might be dead in the blink of an eye."
"You mean 'Time Skip,' right? That move is useless against me. I've already reached the Ultra Instinct Sign, and I can predict your movements in advance." Roland smiled wryly.
"..."
Hit gave Roland a deep look. The other party even knew about Time Skip, so it seemed that he came prepared. However, he was a little interested in the Ultra Instinct Sign that Roland mentioned. It sounded like a move specifically designed to counter Time Skip.
"By the way, you're a cosmic assassin, so would you like to accept my commission? I can hire you to kill me."
"If you're not afraid of death, go to the Cosmic Assassin Headquarters to submit your mission. But according to the first-come, first-served principle, you'll have to wait until I finish the missions of those ahead of you." Hit shrugged. He had never seen anyone so fearless.
"Haha, I can help you with the mission." In order to deal with Hit as soon as possible, Roland didn't mind acting as an assassin.
"Do as you please!"
Hit glanced at Roland indifferently, then silently headed toward his next target. As an assassin, he always traveled alone and didn't want anyone following him, but it was clear that if Roland really wanted to follow, he wouldn't be able to shake him off.
