Tens of millions of roots came lashing in, blotting out the sky and sun.
Saitama stood at the very front, his eyes lighting up.
"Finally, someone who can put up a fight."
He clenched his fist and charged forward.
"Boom—!!!"
The first dozen or so roots were smashed apart by a single punch. Green sap sprayed from the breaks, raining down like droplets.
But the King of All Trees' regenerative ability was far too strong.
The severed roots began regenerating in midair. Within seconds, they had returned to normal, thicker and tougher than before.
"Intruders... become my nourishment..."
The King of All Trees' voice rumbled from deep within its trunk like thunder.

The force of his fist blew all the acid back, drenching the King of All Trees itself.
"Sizzle—sizzle—"
The acid ate away at the bark, sending up clouds of white smoke. But the King of All Trees did not care in the slightest. Fresh bark instantly grew over the corroded areas.

"What a pain."
Saitama frowned.
