A group of S-Class Hero stood inside the giant golden Susanoo, carried by Meikyō towards the spaceship in the sky.
"Snort!"
Tatsumaki was still sulking and didn't stay in Susanoo with the others. Instead, she used her Psychic Power to send herself into the sky.
"Scarlet Ninja, be careful! The turrets on the spaceship have started to turn, they've probably locked onto us and are preparing to attack!"
Child Emperor licked his lollipop and spoke to Meikyō.
"I see."
Meikyō nodded in reply, controlling Susanoo raise the Sun Wheel Mirror.
"Call out--"
"Call out--"
"Call out--"
The aerial artillery launched a salvo.
Tatsumaki, flying a Tatsumaki behind Susanoo, focused her mind, ready to intervene and protect the people in front of her at any moment.
"Eight Branches Sacred Gem!"
Golden Tomoe shot out, colliding with missiles in the sky and exploding into fireworks.
"He's got some skills."
Tatsumaki a pout and a wave of her hand, the remaining missiles in the sky stopped abruptly, then changed direction and fired back to their original positions.
"How's it going, Child Emperor? Have you found the entrance to the spaceship yet?"
Superalloy Darkshine asked Child Emperor.
A mechanical arm extends from the backpack on Child Emperor's back, with a flashlight-like object extending from the end of the mechanical arm, emitting rays to scan the area in front.
"No, not yet, but I'm calculating it."
Child Emperor rapidly tapped his hands on a screen as he answered.
"No need to search, let's just break through the surface of the spaceship and shoot in!"
"Meikyō controlled Susanoo land on the surface of the spaceship and said."
Susanoo hundreds of meters tall, but it is still pitifully small compared to this spaceship.
The spaceship's cross-sectional area is comparable to that of a large city, and its presence in the air exudes a sense of oppression.
"Sun Breathing, Tenth Form, Shining Light!"
"Burn it!"
A spiraling ball of fiery sword energy, carrying Genos's Incineration Cannon, slammed into the surface of the spaceship, leaving a large hole with wires and sparks along its edges.
"This should be some kind of unknown alloy containing metallic elements from different locations. I haven't found any element on Earth that can match it in my database comparisons."
Child Emperor took out a scanner and scanned the cave entrance, saying...
"Forget about metal or anything like that, if you're scared, just say so, I'm going first!"
Tatsumaki took the lead, using her telekinesis to widen the opening, and then quickly floated forward.
"The enemy's strength is unknown, so I propose a joint operation."
Child Emperor took out a new lollipop, licked it to bolster his courage, and said.
"I agree."
King was the first to speak.
He was eager to act together, otherwise he would have to send money to any strange person he encountered.
"Then I'll lead the charge! My muscles have been trained to withstand any attack. With me in front, none of you will get hurt!"
Superalloy Darkshine struck a classic fitness pose and said.
"Okay, my suggestion is that King, who is the strongest among us, should be in charge of guarding the rear to prevent attacks. Flash and Scarlet Ninja, the two fastest, should be positioned at the front and rear ends respectively, so they can provide support at any time. The rest of us and I should stay in the middle to provide support. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Child Emperor boarded the mecha that his backpack had transformed into.
In the spaceship's control room, a large blue octopus with multiple tentacles was looking at the monitor on the screen with a panicked expression.
"This bald guy is ridiculously strong! And that green-haired female creature, her telekinetic power is almost on par with mine! And that team behind them, how come they're so strong too!"
Geryuganshoop extended two tentacles, clutched his head, and looked utterly devastated.
"Hey! Melzargard, what are you doing? How come so many people have hacked into the spaceship!"
Geryuganshoop shouted into a communication device.
"The enemy is very strong, and we are currently engaged in combat."
The voice of Melzargard, the Dragon-level monster currently battling four S-Class Hero on the ground, was transmitted back through the communication device.
Geryuganshoop.
Judging from the behavior of the people who boarded the spaceship, the planet's strength is probably indeed very powerful, and it's possible that Melzargard is trapped below.
He, along with Melzargard and a combatant named Groribas, were the three strongest combatants on the ship, second only to Boros.
Each of them would possess at least mid-to-upper- Dragon-level -level strength on Earth, with Geryuganshoop even being hailed as the universe's number one telekinetic master.
"Beep--!"
"Beep--!"
"Beep--!"
Alarms blared continuously on the spaceship.
"Warning intruders! Warning intruders! Cease your sabotage immediately and leave this spaceship! Warning! Leave this spaceship, or we will deploy our top-tier combatants to eliminate you!"
Saitama stood at the crossroads, rubbing his shiny bald head.
Top combatant?
That must be really impressive, right?
Just then, Saitama heard a familiar voice coming from a passageway.
"What! You're scared already! What kind of top combatant are you? Come and find me then!"
Tatsumaki casually crushed a group of monsters with her telekinesis and stood at the entrance of the passage, shouting to the surroundings.
"Eh? You're that kid who ranked second in S-rank?"
Saitama rested his chin on his hand, looking at Tatsumaki with a curious expression.
"Who's the kid? Who's the kid? I'm twenty-eight years old! Who are you calling a kid? You're just a B-rank kid, what are you doing on this ship?"
Tatsumaki crossed her arms and looked Saitama up and down, who was staring blankly at her.
"Um... okay, but there are two roads ahead, which one do you plan to take?"
Saitama decided not to argue with a child and changed the subject.
"Hmph! Finally scared and planning to come with me? I'm going to find the boss here, I don't have the energy to protect you. Fine, go to the road behind me, then turn left and then right, you should be able to run into other people going in the other direction. I'm not going to go with you!"
Tatsumaki tossed its little head, randomly chose a direction, and floated away.
Seeing this, Saitama had no choice but to head in the remaining direction.
"What the hell! They didn't take my words seriously at all!"
Geryuganshoop his fist on the table in anger.
"Perfect timing! First, I'll have Groribas take his elite combatants to take care of those people, then I'll take out that green-haired female creature. By then, Melzargard might have eliminated the enemies on the ground as well. Then, the three of us top combatants can team up to deal with that guy with the flesh-colored armor on his head, whose strength we can't tell!"
Geryuganshoop believed that there were few in this universe who could stop the three top combatants working together.
If so...
Geryuganshoop looked at the monitor at the very top.
In the scene, Boros, clad in heavy armor, stands on the throne in the ship's main hall, waiting quietly.
He firmly believed that if someone could overcome all obstacles and come to him, it must be the nemesis he had been searching for for twenty years, the one who could be his equal!
"Teacher Meikyō! A large number of life forms have been detected ahead!"
Genos, who was standing behind Meikyō, suddenly stopped and said.
"Scarlet Ninja, and Genos, if enemies appear, leave the lead to me! I will stand firmly in front of you, because no one can break my body, which is stronger than steel!"
Upon hearing this, Superalloy Darkshine flexed his exaggerated biceps and then shook his chest muscles as he spoke.
"The enemy has arrived, and they're not just in front of us; they're surrounding us from every direction."
Meikyō looked up and around and said.
His Observation Haki had already detected the surrounding auras surging towards this place.
The strongest one is probably not weak even among Dragon-level.
Of the remaining ones, one or two might barely qualify as Dragon-level, while the majority are at the Demon-level or Tiger-level.
"Huh? Wait, where's King?"
Child Emperor, who had followed, suddenly shouted, then looked at Flashy Flash.
He was the person closest to King.
"He said he needed to find a place to relieve himself, otherwise he could only perform at half his usual level if he had to pee. After he relieved himself, he disappeared from sight."
Flashy, holding his sword, said with a speechless expression.
"I see. I thought I'd get to see the might of the strongest man on Earth in this battle, but with King's strength, he's fine even without teaming up with us. The most important thing now is to deal with these enemies in front of us!"
Inside the mecha, Child Emperor looked at the cluster of red dots displayed on the radar and said with a serious expression.
"Boom..."
Just then, one after another, metal doors on the surrounding walls opened, revealing groups of aliens.
"I am Groribas, the top combatant of the Dark Matter Thieves' Ship! Invaders, prepare to surrender!"
In the center of the gate directly in front, a monster with three heads, standing eight or nine meters tall, roared at Meikyō and his group.
King, the strongest man on Earth, is now panicking.
"Those people... walked that fast? Now we're lost, we're doomed."
King looked around at the unfamiliar scenery and panicked.
Initially, as the rearguard, he was the safest person not to enter the battle at the very beginning.
All the enemies they encountered along the way were swept aside by Superalloy Darkshine, so King, who was covering the rear, didn't even get a chance to make a move.
The spaceship was just too big. King walked around inside for a long time and his legs started to ache. He wanted to excuse himself to go to the bathroom and rest for a bit before catching up, but the tutorials for the other heroes were too fast, causing King to lose his way and get lost.
So now, King is all alone.
Without a group of S-Class Hero around him, this strongest man on Earth was probably in a panic.
"What should I do? I'm so nervous, I really feel like I need to go to the toilet now. But this spaceship is so big, where is the toilet? I can't just poop and pee here, can I? It would be so embarrassing if someone found out."
King was caught in a dilemma.
On the other side...
"What?! How can this guy's defense be so strong?! My invincible claws that can break through steel can't even penetrate the surface defense of this black creature!"
A tall, strange-looking man, somewhat resembling a lobster, was painstakingly scraping the Superalloy Darkshine.
"Hmph! How can mere steel compare to my body, forged through countless trials!"
Superalloy Darkshine stood Fudō, hands on his hips, watching the lobster monster attack him, before throwing a punch that smashed it to pieces.
"Damn, this guy's a handful! Let's team up and hold him off until Groribas, the highest-ranking officer, takes care of that enemy, then we'll hand him over to him!"
A relatively strong monster, barely reaching the Dragon-level, was immediately alarmed and led the surrounding combatants to rush forward.
In other directions, Flashy Flash, Zombie Man, Pig God, Child Emperor, Drive Knight, and Genos are fighting against a group of elite combatants on a spaceship.
The crew of this spaceship had fought alongside Boros for many years and were actually quite capable.
The reason it wasn't shown much in the original work is because Saitama was running around alone in the spaceship, instantly killing anyone he encountered and taking down most of the elite members of the Dark Pirate Ship who were sent to intercept the enemy.
In reality, these people are quite powerful overall, and many of them would be capable of causing Demon-level or even Dragon-level disasters if they were placed on Earth.
"Dark Matter Attack!"
"Acid Assault!"
"Flame-Acid Double Breath!"
"Meteoric Heavy Punch!"
Groribas was yelling loudly as he fought fiercely with Meikyō.
"Not bad! You actually blocked more than a dozen of my ultimate attacks! It seems the natives of your planet are quite something!"
Groribas, who originally had three heads, was now missing one, but it was rapidly regenerating and repairing itself.
"You... you have to shout out the name of your move every time you make a move. Are you going to call every move you know a finishing move...?"
Meikyō muttered to the three-headed monster in front of him, somewhat speechless.
"Wrong! It should be said that every move I, Lord Groribas, make is a finishing move! Lord Boros said that there are people on this planet who can fight him, and the strongest among them is you. You must be the person in the prophecy! You actually blocked my finishing move perfectly!"
Groribas, panting heavily, shouted at Meikyō.
"Um... the person in the prophecy should be someone else."
Meikyō knew for himself that he couldn't withstand an attack like Boros' that could destroy the earth's surface in one blow.
That kind of combat power is definitely at the level of the Six Paths, and it would probably be considered one of the stronger ones even among those at the Six Paths level.
However, for Boros, activating that state and using such a move would greatly reduce his lifespan, so he wouldn't use it lightly.
Ordinary opponents wouldn't be qualified to make him use this move, and these crew members probably haven't even seen it before.
"Stop lying! I saw you in that energy giant form before! If you want to face Lord Boros, you need to prove yourself here in Groribas first!"
Next, I'll unleash my final form! Watch closely!
Groribas's body muscles rapidly expanded and bulged, emitting a dazzling blue-black light. His body also rapidly expanded, breaking through the ceiling and eventually transforming into a behemoth hundreds of meters tall, almost comparable to the Perfect Susanoo.
"This guy actually has some skills."
Meikyō frowned slightly and had Perfect Susanoo as well.
In the original story, this guy had barely appeared when he was punched to death by Saitama, without even having a chance to show his strength. But now that he's met Meikyō, he has a chance to demonstrate his abilities.
"Every time I use this form, my excessive size damages the spaceship's structure. But your people have already destroyed a full 30% of the spaceship, so what's a little more damage?"
Groribas's deep voice rang out, and the Meikyō - Susanoo, wielding the Totsuka Blade, charged forward to meet him.
"Behold my Ultimate Invincible Supernova Burst!"
"Sun Breathing - Fifteenth Sword Form!"
A sound like a mountain collapsing and rocks splitting rang out, startling King, who was more than a thousand meters away. He trembled and hurriedly pulled up his pants.
"What happened? Luckily you didn't wet your pants!"
King tied his belt and was about to leave the corner when he heard voices coming from all around him.
"Who just relieved themselves here like that! Don't they know how hard we low-level combatants work cleaning up?! Damn it! My sense of smell is too sensitive, it's so uncomfortable!"
"That is!"
"Could it be that those outsiders pulled it? Or was it pulled by those high-ranking combatants?"
"That can't be right. Those outsiders are very strong, but the senior combatants have already gone there, so they should all be there, right?"
"It's also possible that Groribas's all-out attack was so loud that someone wet their pants in fear."
"You bastard, you're the one who peed your pants in fear!"
"Hey? I didn't say anything about you, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Alright, alright, the battle between those outsiders and Lord Groribas is too loud. It would be bad if we got caught in the crossfire. Let's run for our lives!"
A series of words startled King so much that he froze on the spot.
This means there are many strange people ahead...
Yes, there are indeed many.
King was inwardly panicking, his heart was pounding, but he still calmly looked at the huge, swarming mass of strange people pushing their way out in front of him.
"Outsider!"
A chubby pink monster was startled and pointed at King in front of him.
"Knock knock—"
"Knock knock—"
"Knock knock—"
King's heart raced again, and he activated the King Engine.
"Wow, that's a really powerful voice!"
The tentacle-like monster shuddered in fright, its pants getting wet.
The long-nosed monster standing next to him had just activated his ability to search for nearby scents to see if there were any other outsiders' accomplices. But the shock of his terrified colleague next to him caused him to faint from the stench and collapse to the ground!
"How terrifying! This person looks so fierce! He scared a low-level combatant unconscious with just one look!"
A green-skinned monster spoke tremblingly.
King remained silent, his face cold and stern, his tiger-like eyes fixed on the group of strange people before him.
He was afraid, and so were those low-ranking combatants.
The entire spaceship was as large as a large city. The higher-ranking combatants were responsible for combat, while the lower-ranking combatants, although also combatants, were nothing more than cheerleaders. They were usually responsible for a series of miscellaneous tasks such as cleaning the spaceship's interior and repairing the hull, and were not considered very strong.
"Don't be afraid! No matter how scary that guy is, he's just one person. We have hundreds of fighters here. If we all rush at him, how can we be afraid of him!"
The long-tentacle monster who had wet his pants couldn't help but shout.
The group of low-level combatants seemed to be influenced by his words and were starting to get restless.
Just then, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, and a huge golden foot stomped down, crushing hundreds of low-level combatants to death, before lifting itself up and striding forward.
Including that long-tentacle monster.
"Glug."
A low-level combatant swallowed hard and looked through the large hole in the ceiling at the distant battle between the god-like golden Susanoo and the gigantic Groribas.
"Are all these outsiders... this strong?"
The green-skinned monster muttered to himself.
"Maybe this guy isn't that strong?"
A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
But nobody dared to gamble.
King was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"Actually... where I'm from, I'm ranked at the same level as the person you just saw, but I'm ranked a little higher..."
"Clang!"
The green-skinned monster promptly dropped his weapon and knelt on the ground!
"Spare me! I don't want to die!"
"Hey! You're so spineless!"
"But I don't want to die..."
"This guy hasn't even made a move yet!"
"I surrendered precisely because he didn't make a move. They definitely need prisoners to extract information, and I was afraid that surrendering too late would be too late..."
Before the green-skinned monster could finish speaking, the group of low-level combatants knelt down in droves.
"Sorry, sir! We don't need you to capture us! We'll tie ourselves up!"
king:...???
In the monitoring room.
Tatsumaki nearly fainted on the spot, barely managing to stay upright by holding onto the wall.
Not far away, a blue octopus-like monster had a large hole in its head, from which blue liquid oozed out, and then it fell silent.
The ceiling had already been blown away by the clash of their telekinetic powers, and the floorboards had collapsed due to Geryuganshoop's telekinetic attacks.
"Such a strong guy isn't the captain of this ship? I wonder if we can still win this battle."
Tatsumaki forced herself to sit down in front of the monitor screen.
In the scene, Superalloy Darkshine, Flashy Flash, Pig God, and others had already dealt with a group of high-level combatants and were heading forward.
In another surveillance video, the fully-formed golden Susanoo severed the last head of the gigantic Groribas with a single sword strike.
"According to what the giant octopus just said, he, the monster on the ground, and the one fighting the Scarlet Ninja should be the strongest on this ship besides their leader. Next, it depends on whether the Scarlet Ninja and his group can continue."
Tatsumaki, supporting herself on the monitor's desktop, prepared to get up and go help.
Although the battle with the Psychic Octopus had pushed her to her limit, Tatsumaki felt that without her, she would most likely still be doomed.
The Scarlet Ninja is very strong, but the enemy leader is able to suppress three Psychic Octopus, so his strength is probably terrifying.
Tatsumaki believes that only by combining her power with that of the Scarlet Ninja, and working with other S-Class Hero, might they have a chance of winning.
