The Battle Comes to an End

No one knew how much time had passed.

The countless arms that had originally covered Hane like a dense mass of flowers slowly withdrew into an unknown space, revealing Hane's completely unscathed figure.

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Hane's mouth.

"Do you still want to fight? If we keep fighting, this entire world will be destroyed by the battle between us!"

Saitama silently shook his head. "You won. Even if we continued, I still wouldn't be able to break through your defense!"

Hane was slightly taken aback. Looking at Saitama, who was gradually calming down, he gave him a thoughtful glance. "It seems this battle gave you quite a bit of insight!"

Saitama nodded faintly. "To be honest, suddenly gaining such powerful strength left me confused sometimes. But not anymore, because there's someone even stronger than me ahead of me!"

"Hahahaha!" Hane suddenly burst into laughter. "You don't think I'm going to destroy the world now, do you?"

"No. If you really wanted to destroy this world, you wouldn't have gone to so much trouble. With your power, destroying this planet should be easy, right?"

Hane nodded. "Indeed. I never came here for destruction. Want to stay and watch? I believe you won't be disappointed!"

Saitama pondered for a few seconds. Then he thought about how there was nothing for him to do if he went back anyway, so he might as well stay and see what happened next. He quickly accepted Hane's invitation.

"President, why did he stop fighting?"
