To an ordinary observer, it would seem as though a massive, red fist emblazoned with the word "death" was rushing straight at their face, evoking a sense of helplessness akin to that of an ant awaiting its end.
Yet the target of Saitama's attack was not just any being but a genuine god, unlike the false gods of myth. Odin, the real god, met Saitama's onslaught head-on. With a swift motion, Odin raised his scepter to intercept the incoming fist.
When the fist and scepter collided mid-air, time seemed to pause. The clash generated a powerful shockwave that radiated outward, affecting the very fabric of the earth.
Boom!
The shockwave expanded explosively, tearing through the crimson rock formations and creating a spiderweb of cracks. A deep roar echoed through the clouds as the earth trembled violently. Jane and Coulson, caught off guard, were thrown to the ground by the quaking.
A small crater formed beneath Odin's feet, momentarily trapping him and Saitama. Then, like an arrow released from a bow, Saitama was propelled away. He smashed through small hills like they were made of paper, finally crashing into a towering peak.
"This is the true power of a god? My ordinary punches don't seem sufficient anymore," Saitama mused, pushing away the debris. His white cloak was tattered, and his clothes were barely more than strips of fabric, clinging to him for modesty.
He examined the red mark on his fist with a sense of satisfaction. "Yes, this is a real battle—one of flesh and blood."
For the first time in a long while, Saitama felt pain, a powerful recoil that had sent him flying. Odin, now fully focused, appeared before Saitama with a flicker. He regarded him with a mix of awe and contemplation, pondering, "Such formidable power... Is there a god of ultimate strength within this human form?"
Odin's scepter struck the ground, causing the rock beneath him to surge like waves towards Saitama.
"Seriously lifting the table!" Saitama shouted as he bent down and struck the surface with his fists. The hard rock was easily broken, and a massive wall of rock shot up before him.
Rumble!
The rock waves collided with the wall, shattering into pieces upon impact. Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring everything. Amid the chaos, Saitama grinned widely and prepared for his next move.
He clenched his right fist and shouted, "Serious Series: Serious Punch!"
Boom!!
The sonic boom resonated in Odin's ears, sending chills down his spine. Odin's single eye widened in response as his scepter transformed into a golden war spear. With a sudden thrust, the spear clashed with Saitama's punch. The immense forces collided, tearing through the air and causing an overwhelming burst of energy.
From the planet's surface, it appeared as though the entire cloud layer was blown away by the sheer force.
Bang!!
The deafening roar of the clash reverberated through the heavens, leaving everyone at a distance to brace themselves. The battlefield's surface collapsed, stretching for hundreds of meters with black cracks about ten meters wide and deep fissures running parallel.
"This is terrifying. I've never faced such a being before," Odin thought. His golden armor was now coated in dust, and his helmet had been shattered in the collision, leaving him looking somewhat disheveled.
Despite his imposing appearance, Odin recognized that Saitama, who remained largely unscathed, held a significant advantage in sheer strength. Odin's eternal spear emitted a faint whisper, indicating his realization of the disparity.
"Drink!" Odin shouted as his body was enveloped in a golden aura, intensifying his physical attributes and magical power. His figure vanished, leaving a massive, bottomless pit in front of Saitama.
As Odin's fist emerged, the space around it twisted and cracked like breaking glass.
"Just what I wanted!" Saitama exclaimed, unfazed. He threw his fists out in response, creating a massive impact that sent ripples through the space.
"Serious Fight!"
In the blink of an eye, the space seemed to ripple like a stone tossed into a pond, with distinct forces crashing into one another. The planet itself appeared to be gravely damaged, its surface splitting and fracturing, and an impact ring expanding from the center.
Boom--!
"Run!!" The four warriors, along with Thor, Jane, and Coulson, hurriedly fled as the planet's surface disintegrated.
"Heimdall!" Thor's call summoned the Rainbow Bridge, which enveloped them and transported them to safety.
"My probe!!" Coulson lamented as he watched his small probe fall into a bottomless chasm.
"Teacher," Gali gritted her teeth, rising high above to watch from a distance as the intense air pressure forced her to retreat.
From the sky, Xu Mo observed the scene with a sense of awe. "This is even more spectacular than the battle with Thanos."
The desert landscape had been transformed into a swirling, flowing terrain, while the rubble was reduced to atoms by the sheer force of the clash.
The ground continued to collapse as time passed, leaving everyone in a state of disbelief. The magnitude of the destruction defied their understanding.
When the dust finally settled, the observers were left stunned. The planet had been utterly annihilated, revealing the starry expanse of space on the other side. The once-solid ground had vanished completely.
Gali scanned the malfunctioning equipment and was horrified to report, "The planet has been shredded!"
From an extraterrestrial perspective, the planet resembled a red apple that had been sliced in half, with one half completely disappearing.
