"State your name! A powerful figure worthy of my full strength, Boros!"
Boros stared intently at KING with his single eye, his fighting spirit erupting like a volcano.
Lin Mo's mind went blank.
What's going on? He clearly sensed Saitama's strength, so why did he still choose me?!
He could feel the other person's gaze piercing him like a sharp sword, causing him waves of pain.
He wanted to explain, to evade, but under that earth-shattering pressure, he couldn't even move a finger and could only keep his "cold" face still.
“Um, I mean…” Saitama scratched his head and pointed to himself, “The person you’re looking for might be me.”
"I know you're strong too, bald guy."
Boros finally spared a glance at Saitama, his tone carrying a hint of approval, but more so an unquestionable determination.
"Your energy is unfathomable, enough to make you my opponent in conquering the universe. But what I feel for him is something else entirely. That roar that seems to crush even the soul is the voice of destiny I have been searching for for twenty years!"
"So please wait a moment. After I've settled my score with this fated opponent, I'll properly... eliminate you!"
Boros took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, causing the entire spaceship to shake violently.
"Come on, golden-haired powerhouse! Unleash your full power and let me witness just how much force your astonishing roar can unleash!"
Lin Mo felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.
He watched as a blinding energy light began to emanate from the one-eyed cosmic overlord, and an energy a hundred times stronger than before began to gather within his body.
Just then, a leisurely voice came from the side.
"Hey, don't ignore me. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it."
Saitama flashed and instantly stood between Lin Mo and Boros, a hint of displeasure on his face.
Boros paused slightly, finally turning all his attention to the bald man.
"Oh? Do you want to die first?" A cold killing intent flashed in Boros's single eye.
"Alright. I'll use you as a warm-up, to show you the absolute gap between us!"
After saying that, he vanished from his spot in a flash.
The next second, he appeared in front of Saitama, his heavy fist, encased in armor, slamming towards Saitama's cheek with the power to destroy everything!
In Lin Mo's eyes, Boros was like someone who could teleport.
However, faced with this earth-shattering punch, Saitama simply raised his hand, and before anyone else could react, effortlessly grabbed Boros's fist.
"boom!!!"
A deafening roar, so deep it was almost muffled, sounded like two mountains colliding.
A visible white wave of energy spread wildly outwards from the two people!
The shockwave instantly ripped the ceiling off the entire throne room, and huge, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the sturdy alloy walls.
Lin Mo was blown backward by the wind pressure and crashed hard into the wall in the distance, almost fainting.
Saitama stood firmly in place, holding Boros's fist with one hand, the ground beneath his feet completely intact.
On the other hand, Boros's arrogant, domineering expression had vanished, replaced by an incredulous astonishment.
"How...how is it possible?"
Boros tried to pull his fist back, but found that the other man's hand was locked tightly in his grasp like an iron clamp.
His pride and joy were completely unaffected by the opponent's power.
Chapter 78 Saitama vs. Boros
"Who... are you?" Boros looked directly at Saitama, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Me? Just a hero I play for fun," Saitama replied casually.
"That armor of yours seems to be designed to limit your power, doesn't it?"
Saitama looked at the other person and said calmly, "If we don't take it off, neither of us can have a proper fight."
Before he could finish speaking, Saitama suddenly swung the hand that was gripping Boros's fist.
Boros's massive body was easily flung out, crashing into another wall of the hall and embedding itself deeply into the spaceship's hull.
"Hahaha...hahahaha!!"
Amidst the ruins, Boros's laughter drifted slowly, carrying a hint of barely suppressed excitement and madness.
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! You are...you are the person I've been looking for! The person the fortune teller spoke of as destiny is actually you!"
"boom--!!!"
A beam of blue-purple energy shot into the sky, completely piercing through the ship's hull above!
"I misjudged you! You concealed all your aura, causing me to make the wrong judgment! Very good! Excellent! This is the kind of battle I've been craving!"
Boros reappeared in the hall. His magnificent armor was completely shattered, revealing his true form beneath.
His body became more muscular, his skin turned a deep blue, and his body was covered with glowing patterns. His single eye burned with fierce fighting spirit.
Having unleashed his power, the energy fluctuations he emitted were more than ten times stronger than before!
"To allow me to unleash this form, you must be a powerful being in the universe!" Boros laughed wildly, and his figure disappeared again.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!
A series of rapid, thunderous strikes resounded through the sky.
Boros transformed into a blue lightning bolt, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks around Saitama.
Every punch and kick he delivered carried enough power to easily kill a dragon-level monster.
His speed was so fast that he left countless afterimages in the air.
However, Saitama simply stood still, responding to each move as it came.
He easily caught Boros's heavy punch with his palm.
Boros's kick was easily blocked by his knee.
To outsiders, it was a battle that would destroy the world.
But in Saitama's eyes, it was just "a slightly faster ordinary punch or kick".
Finally, Saitama was no longer just passively defending himself.
He threw a right punch.
"Ordinary punch."
The two men's fists collided in mid-air.
This time, Boros's entire right arm, from fist to shoulder, was completely shattered in an instant, turning into a shower of blood and flesh.
He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through the ship's decks and finally becoming deeply embedded in the ship's power core.
"Fantastic! Fantastic!" Boros's voice drifted over, filled with unprecedented excitement.
He slowly walked out of the power zone, leaving only half of his body, but in an instant he was restored to normal, his powerful self-healing ability allowing him to ignore the injury.
"You are indeed very strong! The prophecy was right after all! But this is not my full strength!"
With a roar, Boros's energy surged dramatically, his body color changed from blue to fiery white, his muscles swelled again, and his strength and speed soared once more!
"Meteor burst!"
With a roar, he converted all the energy in his body into propulsion, and at a speed exceeding sub-light speed, he transformed into a real meteor and kicked Saitama hard!
Lin Mo only saw that Saitama's body was arched in an instant, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he transformed into a white streak of light, instantly piercing through the top of the spaceship and shooting into the deep universe at an incredible speed.
The white light grew smaller and smaller, farther and farther away, until finally, on the surface of the tranquil planet hanging in the night sky—the moon—it exploded into an almost invisible cloud of dust.
He was... kicked all the way to the moon?
Lin Mo's eyes were filled with shock.
"Huh...huh..."
Boros knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The "Meteor Burst" state had put a tremendous strain on his body, and the all-out attack just now had almost exhausted most of his energy.
He slowly stood up, glanced at Lin Mo who was already dumbfounded, and his eyes were filled with pure fighting spirit.
Now, all his attention is focused on the distant moon.
"it's over……"
Boros muttered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of triumphant joy, but for some reason, there was also a sense of emptiness and desolation after defeating his nemesis.
However, at this moment.
On the surface of the moon, 380,000 kilometers away, a tiny figure slowly rose from the center of a huge crater.
Saitama dusted himself off and looked around. All he saw was a desolate gray landscape and a huge, beautiful blue planet overhead.
"Huh?" He scratched the back of his smooth head, a look of confusion on his face. "Where is this...the moon?"
He looked down at his feet and stomped his feet lightly.
"Tsk, this is a bit troublesome."
Saitama frowned. His worry wasn't about being in danger, but about how to get back. "Never mind, I'll jump back."
His legs were slightly bent, and huge, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the lunar ground beneath his feet, centered on him.
The next second, he exerted his strength!
"boom--!!!"
A giant crater with a diameter of over 100 kilometers was instantly formed on the far side of the moon!
Saitama's body transformed into an even more dazzling meteor as it arrived, crashing headlong into the azure planet!
On the spaceship, Boros, who had just declared victory, froze instantly before the emptiness on his face could fade.
His single eye widened suddenly as he stared incredulously into the depths of the universe.
