"Now to deal with this growing black hole and finally absorb their essence." I said as I looked at the mini-black hole that was gradually growing in size.
"[Concept Corruption: Matter]" I said as the black hole was eviscerated out of existence.
I had watched and read One Punch Man back in my previous life and knew that the only reason I felt such intense danger when first sending only 10% of my soul to this universe was because of two powerful entities. Possibly three.
Saitama, Cosmic Fear Garou and the entity calling himself GOD. Of the three entities I'm more so worried about Saitama and GOD, Saitama because of his overpowered ability that lets him literally just adapt to anything...and GOD because just from Garou taking in a small amount of his power he was able to match Saitama, albeit temporarily.
The only way I see myself killing Saitama right now is by corrupting the concept of his adaptation or trying to forcefully turn him into a vessel and steal all his powers, adaptation and everything.
The latter is most likely impossible, I've no doubt his body could more than withstand being my vessel but if I get trapped in his body he could probably just....adapt me out of existence with enough time
But
That is if I fight him with my current power, after I'm finished absorbing these three pitiful heroes and the rest of this city, while it may not be much I'll still get a sizable increase in power.
"[Chain Reaver]" I said as multiple black chains erupted from my body, spreading all over the half destroyed city and piercing those who were alive, dead ,and the ones who were beside me.
The three heroes.
The entire city started to slowly look like a graveyard, the humans of this city were now entirely dried up, robbed of anything and everything that they had of their existence. Metal Bat didn't give much other than slightly increasing my power, Bang gave even less power but a vast amount of combat and martial arts experience.
The arrogant petite woman, Terrible Tornado is where I got the most from, all my power is derived from absorbing the energy of my dimension and understanding its laws.
After absorbing Terrible Tornado I've now gained access to a type of energy with insane potential, if I didn't have access to my dimension or any powers at all from it im pretty sure I could reach the level where I could manipulate reality with just this energy.
Psychic energy, Im pretty sure I could cook up some insane combinations with this.
And just as I finished absorbing the essence of every living thing in this city, I could sense and see the one thing I was hoping not to see right now.
"Fucking Saitama." I cursed
"What the fuck am I supposed to do againts this guy!?" I cursed again in annoyance. The guy was fast approaching and I had nothing that could properly put down this adapting force of nature
Deciding to just figure it out while fighting him, I charged at him. I could see his bored, emotionless face staring right at me as he didn't even seem to care about the fact that the entire city was destroyed.
He raised a single hand, rearing for a punch, probably expecting this to go like all his previous fights where he could just end everything in one punch.
* BOOM *
Our fists clashed,he must have not been putting much power in that punch because not only did he lose in that exchange just now but the hand he used to punch me was gone. Mind you I used as much power as I possibly could with the 45% of my soul I had right now and the result was...the loss of an arm.
The bored look on his face was now completely wiped away, he stared at his now limbless arm as if it was foreign to him, as if this was the last thing he expected to happen to him.
Shock was written all over his face as his eyes finally landed on me. There was no exchange of information or any form of communication between us
Before I could make another move he charged at me, mid charge his arm gew back back and I could feel his power increased exponentially.
He threw a fist that I easily parried and followed up with a counter, in the form of a punch to the face
* BOOM *
He instantly flew back at a less farther distance this time, I knew that if I dared to use Concept corruption on him and it didnt kill him or corrupt his adaptability enough then he would start adapting to conceptual damage which would be very very bad for me.
Without taking a single moment of rest he shot back at me, the air cried as we moved and our fists clashed once again. This time space itself cracked as a majority of the earth was destroyed in that one clash.
Realising this, Saitama punched me into outerspace, at this point his physical strength was now on par with mine and I hadnt used concept corruption on him in fear of him adapting to conceptual damage.
Amidst all the chaos that was happening I could see a small smile form creep up on his face, he clearly was enjoying this.
I grinned as I started to focus, time slowed in my vision as my concentration reached its peak. Saitama was now moving in slow motion for me as I used that time to brainstorm.
How could I kill him?
I had to imagine and create something of pure destruction and not mere destruction of matter, I had to innovate…..using my newest form of energy. By mixing and combining the energy from my dimension called Nether energy with the new Psychic energy I had to create something that would eviscerate him out of existence
Orbs of black and green swirled around me as both nether energy and psychic energy tried to combine. While trying to create a new technique I was still fighting as in my vision I could see that the speed of Saitama's attacks were increasing and each one more powerful than the last .
I was still dodging each punch but now by a hair's breadth.
Multiple stars that were near us exploded just from the mere shockwave of our clashes, right as we were about to clash once more, I finished creating the techhnnique
And then?
* BOOM *
* CRACK *
Space cracked once again as this time even tho I was the only one that was pushed back this time, the difference was that I now had a smile on my face. This new technique was possibly the strongest move I had in my arsenal right now.
"It's such a pity I couldn't get your ability for myself, but with this…..with this I'll kill you before you can adapt or copy my technique." I said with a mad look on my face
Saitama, quiet up until now, finally spoke.
"[Killer move: Serious Series – Serious Punch!]" he said in a calm firm manner
"[Concept Eradication: Existence]" I said as a pitch black sphere manifested itself at the tip of my fingers. As soon as it did the space around me instantly…. shattered, sound waves were destroyed time started to slow down where the orb was and everything stopped.
The only thing that moved was the black orb that I thankfully released in time before it dragged me into it's destruction. The orb slowly went towards him but he couldn't move, the closer the orb came towards him the more of existence it destroyed.
The orb had long eradicated the force created from Saitama's ultimate attack and even now his adaptation was still trying to force him to get stronger. His body started to move in as the orb approached him as he continued getting stronger and stronger.
The way he is now I dont think I could take one of his hits without taking extreme damage, actually taking three direct punches from him right now could probably kill me. But while I was getting slightly worried even though he was able to barely move, he couldn't move out of the way of the black orb in time. So without any other option, Saitama gathered all his available power into his right arm and thew out the strongest punch he has ever done in his lifetime
All to destroy the orb that was approaching him...
…..
.
.
.
This time there was no sound as space wasn't merely cracked but erased along with many other concepts that existed where Saitama was. Saitama himself was nowhere to be seen, I didnt know whether or not he had died but....if he survived that I would need my full power along with a powerful vessel to stand against him again.
This....ability was undoubtedly my most powerful move right now, however it is extremely uncontrollable. If I didn't move away when that clash with Saitama and the orb happened I most likely would have died.
"There is no way this guy is still alive." I said with audible fatigue in my voice, this guy was the single strongest entity I had ever faced! If I didn't defy the odds and created a technique like this then over time Saitama would have adapted and adapted until he eventually become completely stronger than me.
Deciding to not stick around to find out if he was alive I hurriedly flew back to Earth, deciding to just absorb the planet and be done with it.
"[Chain Reaver]" I said.
The chains erupted from me and wrapped themselves around the planet draining the essence of every single lifeform on earth and giving it to me. The chains also started to absorb the essence of the planet accidentally awakening the consciousness or will of the planet, before it could say or do anything it was ruthlessly extinguished and absorbed by my chains.
Most likely, that consciousness was trying to communicate for a means of survival.
"Unfortunately for it, it tried it with the wrong person." I laughed in exhaustion
