BOOM!
The battleship shook slightly with a resounding crash, the tremors reverberating through the metal walls. Tsuna glanced back, a wry smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Saitama," he thought. He's already making his way through the ship, heading straight for the final boss himself—Boros.
He mumbled to himself, "Let's hope that guy doesn't start off with multiple serious punches…"
Tsuna slowed his pace, no longer rushing as he steadied his breath. His footsteps echoed down the long, desolate corridor, the quiet clink of his shoes almost unnerving in the silence. Ahead, he saw the giant entrance to what had to be the command center—the domain of the telekinetic alien, Geryuganshoop.
With each step, his thoughts drifted, thinking about the other strong alien beside Melzargard and Geryuganshoop on this ship as he closed his eyes, activating his seismic sense once again. He frowned, trying to sense any other powerful entities, but nothing else stood out except for the one in front of him... and the overwhelming force in the throne room.
"I was facing the moon," Tsuna muttered, furrowing his brow as if trying to make sense of the sensation.
The energy from his target, Geryuganshoop, was immense, far greater than his own. But the power radiating from Boros' throne room—it was something else entirely.
It felt monstrous.
"Boros is like a sun…" he continued, his voice low and contemplative. But then his thoughts shifted to Saitama.
A small chuckle escaped Tsuna's lips. "But Saitama... I don't feel a thing."
It wasn't because Saitama seemed weak in his seismic sense—far from it.
Tsuna just couldn't pick up on the usual energy signatures he relied on, like chakra or chi. Saitama's strength wasn't something that could be sensed that way. His power came from sheer physical force, a kind of raw strength that defied any spiritual or energy-based detection, "He's just... unbelievably strong."
"Stop where you are!"
A voice boomed suddenly, shaking Tsuna from his thoughts. He blinked, finding himself standing before the massive entrance to the command center. With a soft chuckle, he asked casually, "Why would I listen to you?"
"Human! I will only warn you once!"
Geryuganshoop's voice echoed again, louder this time, dripping with authority.
Tsuna wasn't impressed.
He took another step closer to the entrance, and immediately, he felt it—the subtle resistance of an invisible bubble of energy surrounding the room. His eyes widened slightly as he crossed into it, feeling the pressure of Geryuganshoop's power, "So that's it... My stealth won't work here."
The alien's telekinetic ability created a sensory field, something similar to Tsuna's own seismic sense. But while his power allowed him to detect anything he touched, Geryuganshoop's range covered the entire area around him, like a massive bubble with the alien at its center, detecting any intrusion.
Tsuna smirked, waving a hand dismissively. "Alright, sure, buddy."
The enormous metal doors to the command center suddenly burst open with a violent gust of wind, slamming against the walls with a deafening bam! Dust swirled into the corridor as the air pressure shifted, and Tsuna's smirk deepened.
Stepping inside the room, he took in the scene with his own eyes—the command center. At the far end, a massive screen loomed over rows of aliens, each one uglier than the next. Finally, his gaze landed on the source of the voice he'd heard earlier—Geryuganshoop.
The octopus-like alien stood tall, its hollow eyes glaring down at Tsuna. The alien's figure, towering over his shorter frame, delivered a menacing threat, "You've made a grave mistake, human!"
"What are you, an alien or an octopus?"
Tsuna raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. Ignoring the threat, he examined Geryuganshoop's tentacles and grotesque head, which seemed oddly disproportionate. Korosensei's silly face flashed briefly in his mind.
"I know an octopus-like you. Definitely stronger. But he looked kinda like a cute puppy. You, on the other hand..." He paused, scratching his head in mock confusion. "I don't even know how to describe you."
Geryuganshoop's tentacles trembled with fury. "You think you're funny, human? Laugh while you can, for I, Geryuganshoop, supreme telekinetic in the universe, shall tear that filthy mouth of yours and cast it into the black hole!"
The command room trembled as an invisible force rippled through the air. Tsuna watched as the octopus-like alien, Geryuganshoop, began to glow faintly, its tentacles twitching with energy. Debris—fragments of metal, glass, and stone—slowly lifted into the air around the alien, swirling like a storm. A flicker of alarm crossed Tsuna's face, but he quickly composed himself, smirking as he spoke.
"Alright, Geryu-whatever-shoop... seems like you might actually be fun."
"How arrogant!"
Geryuganshoop's voice boomed, filled with rage.
Without warning, the debris shot forward, flying at Tsuna with incredible speed. Tsuna's eyes narrowed, glowing faintly with intensity as he waved his hand. The compressed metal he'd prepared earlier expanded in front of him, forming a makeshift shield.
The sharp clang of metal filled the room as the debris collided with the shield, sending smoke billowing around them, clouding the view. But Geryuganshoop wasn't bothered. The alien sneered, its telekinetic force pressing harder. "It's pointless, human! That pitiful shield of yours will crumble before my power!"
"I fucking know," Tsuna chuckled, wiping sweat from his brow as he felt the strain. Despite the shield holding for now, the debris was starting to bend and dent the metal. He exhaled and raised his right hand, muttering, "That's why I'm gonna use two hands..."
His voice echoed through the smoky room as he brought his hand down, summoning his energy. The ground beneath them rumbled before suddenly rising—metal reshaping itself into the form of a massive, sharp middle finger, hurtling straight toward Geryuganshoop.
The alien's eyes widened in shock. "What—?"
[Metal Bending Technique: Go Fuck Yourself!]
Tsuna smirked, raising his middle finger in defiance as the towering metal structure lunged forward, hurtling toward Geryuuganshoop. The alien's hollow eyes flickered with surprise as he realized the human could manipulate metal. His body began to glow even brighter, and with a forceful telekinetic push, he halted the giant metal finger in midair.
"Ha! Such a weak telekinetic force!"
Geryuuganshoop scoffed dismissively, confidence oozing from his voice.
"I figured as much," a voice whispered faintly.
Geryuuganshoop's hollow eyes widened in shock. He snapped his gaze around, horrified to see Tsuna had closed the distance between them, his foot flying straight toward him in a powerful kick.
"You can't move freely while using telekinetic power, can you?" Tsuna taunted, mid-kick.
"You—goddamn human!"
Geryuuganshoop cursed, alarm surging through him.
Desperately, the alien released his telekinetic grip, rolling backward to avoid the kick, but it was too late. The force of the blow sent him crashing through the second level of the command room, tumbling down to the base floor where other aliens were managing the ship's systems.
Dazed, Geryuuganshoop glanced up at the platform he had just been standing on.
A thunderous explosion erupted, the entire platform shattering like glass. His eyes locked onto Tsuna, who was casually standing atop the middle finger he'd used as a stepping stone. Looking down with a mocking grin, Tsuna jeered, "What happened? Weren't you going to send me off to a black hole?"
"You bastard!"
Geryuuganshoop roared, fury and humiliation overtaking him.
His earlier arrogance and disdain for Tsuna's seemingly insignificant power were now gone, replaced by raw desperation. His body began to glow, radiating an intense energy, much brighter than before. He was going all in.

I'm preparing a pitch for an investor outside of my work so I'd be busy for the next couple of days. I had this business idea for a long time and wanted to do it while traveling the world, I secured a call with someone rich next week.
Wish me luck!
Anyway, should I make a Discord server? I'd like to hop on a call and chat with y'all sometimes.
