At the moment, all eyes were fixed on the massive crater created by Orochi's attacks, where Saitama had stood moments ago. But now, all that remained was a smoking, gaping hole in the ground.
This was the aftermath of Orochi's relentless assault. Seeing this, the others couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. The ground had been pulverized by the terrifying onslaught. Was Saitama truly finished?
"Who gave you the guts to smash my house and turn my groceries into rubble, you bastard?!"
At this time, Saitama shot out from the depths of the crater.
The clothes on his body slightly dirty but otherwise intact. At this moment, he is very angry, not because of the attack, but because his groceries had been destroyed.
The quality of Saitama's clothes made Asahi couldn't help but remember the situation when the system gave him the Saitama's costumne.
'Saitama's clothes were indeed of exceptional quality. Even in his most desperate battles, they remained largely intact. As for Orochi, the so-called God-level disgrace, he couldn't even damage Saitama's clothes.'
"Nothing happened at all. What's going on? And what's with these clothes? Are all God-level beings this unreasonable?!"
Seeing such a scene, everyone else was stunned. At this moment, Saitama also squeezed his fist directly, and then looked at the tall Orochi.
Orochi was also a little confused at this time, and Psykos was too shocked to issue new orders.
"I'm really angry now. Pay the price, you jerk! Normal Punch!"
'Another normal punch?'
However, Asahi also remembered one thing. When Saitama defeated Boros, he used a Serious Punch. Though a Normal Punch could also obliterate Boros, his regeneration abilities were too potent.
Orochi was different. Despite being a God-level threat, he couldn't withstand a Normal Punch. With no extraordinary regenerative abilities, Asahi knew that Orochi was doomed once Saitama's fist connected.
At this moment, Saitama's fist hit Orochi directly, and the terrifying power directly tore the monster's body apart.
Orochi exploded into countless pieces, scattered in all directions. And with that, Orochi, the God-level disgrace, met his end.
"Hiss…"
Not to mention the people of the Hero Association, even the members of the Monster Association were left dumbfounded. They felt that Saitama was beyond human!
Weren't God-level beings supposed to engage in fierce battles? Yet here he was, impervious to defense and boasting unmatched attack power. It felt like cheating, dealing 999 damage with a single blow and obliterating Orochi with one punch.
'When did dealing with a God-level entity become so easy!'
"Just one punch is enough to kill that monster? Am I dreaming? The gap between us and God-level beings was already substantial, but was there such a huge difference even among God-level beings themselves? It seemed like an insurmountable chasm!"
Many had entertained thoughts of having God-level strength themselves, but now those notions seemed laughable. The disparity was too vast, and they lacked the confidence to catch up.
"Sure enough, it's another one punch again. When will there be someone who can withstand my punch?!"
Saitama looked helplessly at his fist and complained loudly.
At this moment, no one spoke. The scene was quiet and only the sound of the wind could be heard, so Saitama's words were naturally heard by others, and the corners of everyone's eyes twitched.
'Was he trying to show off? This was going too far!' However, they misunderstood. Saitama wasn't showing off, and he was genuinely frustrated, longing for someone who could give him a real fight.
"So... what do we do now? Keep pressing the advantage?"
Someone finally came back to their sense, looking towards the battlefield.
"Let's move out. And leave two people to protect Asahi-sama. After all, he's a prophet!"
Even until now, they failed to recognize Asahi's strength, demonstrating the peculiarity of this world.
Asahi had nothing to say in response. Since he is ignored, he will just be ignored. He wasn't inclined to intervene anyway.
Meanwhile, the heroes launched their offensive against the Monster Association. Saitama swiftly moved, dispatching one monster after another with ease.
Not even Nyan, a Dragon-level monster, stood a chance when faced with Saitama. As soon as it saw him approaching, its eyelids twitched madly, and it promptly shrank and disappeared into a crack in the ground. It seemed it wasn't eager to meet its demise.
However, before it could run far, Saitama's fist came crashing down with tremendous force, piercing through the ground and obliterating it. Once Saitama had locked onto a target, there was no escaping. Just look at what happened to the Ground Dragon in the original work.
Impressive digging abilities? Well, Saitama could do it too, and with lightning speed that could scare the life out of anyone.
Thus, another Dragon-level monster met its end at Saitama's hands. The other Dragon-level monsters didn't dare linger either; they bolted, collectively fleeing in terror. They knew that confronting a terrifying entity like Saitama was tantamount to certain death.
Even when faced with the interference of S-Class heroes, they preferred to be attacked than to confront Saitama. Sacrificing a portion of their bodies was a small price to pay. Besides, monsters had strong regenerative abilities and would soon be back on their feet.
They had no intention of wasting time here. Also, it was simple for a group of Dragon-level monsters to flee.
On the other side, after dealing with some monsters, there were still some who hadn't fled, and even newcomers like the Elder Centipede and Gouketsu arrived, unaware that Orochi had fallen.
After seeing this situation, the two also knew that they couldn't run so fast, especially Elder Centipede, who was huge in size, then they quickly noticed Asahi.
It's because Asahi has two S-Class Heroes protecting him, indicating his high status. Therefore, as long as they capture Asahi, it would solve their problems.
With this in mind, Elder Centipede rushed towards Asahi directly. However, the two heroes tasked with protecting him, Tanktop Master and Metal Bat, were no match for the Elder Centipede. They couldn't even breach its defenses.
Thus, when faced with Elder Centipede's assault, they were blasted apart. Then, Elder Centipede turned its attention towards Kingyo. When other heroes witnessed this scene, they were shocked.
After all, Asahi was a highly regarded super prophet. If he were to die, it would be a significant loss to humanity.
