In the dim underground cavern, a series of muffled growls continuously echoed, like a fierce dog constantly roaring.
Looking around, a behemoth dozens of meters long was sprawled on the ground, roaring repeatedly towards the sky, its immense Dragon-Level Monster aura radiating freely.
This colossal creature was shaped like a dog, with six crimson eyes staring unblinkingly at the sky, its entire body covered in black fur.
Monster Association Dragon Level Executive, Pochi.
Pochi had been sleeping, but was forcibly awakened by an energy fluctuation that made it feel an immense tremor, instantly putting the entire dog into a state of alert.
This immediately ignited its strong territorial instinct; the dignity of a Dragon-Level Monster and a territorial KING was inviolable!
Even now, as the aftershocks of the battle gradually faded, Pochi still hadn't lowered its guard, maintaining a posture ready to fight at any moment... In the vast expanse of space, countless stars shimmered with their own brilliance in the dark void, yet they couldn't conceal the emptiness and coldness of the starry sky.
And in this silent, dead starry sky, a massive spaceship was slowly traveling, heading towards a blue planet.
In the spaceship's control room, a peculiar-looking alien, after completing his scan, urgently reported to his superior:
"Reporting, sir! That massive energy that appeared on Earth has disappeared. The battle must be over!"
Behind the alien, a giant humanoid creature with blue tentacles swayed, nodding:
"I understand. I must quickly inform Lord Boros of this news."
With that, Geryuganshoop couldn't help but wipe his non-existent sweat from his forehead, still feeling a lingering fear.
Such terrifying power... Earth actually has a strong person who is on par with Lord Boros... That prophecy is true... Geryuganshoop pushed open the door, just about to say something, when a magnetic voice interrupted him, the sound echoing through the empty hall.
"No need to report, I've already sensed it."
The humanoid creature on the throne slowly stood up, an unparalleled light of excitement flickering in its massive single eye.
Excellent, excellent!
The humanoid creature had blue skin, long pink hair that almost reached the ground, and wore a golden armor with a red cape extending from its back.
What was most surprising was his facial features; a huge pupil almost occupied half of his face.
Cosmic Emperor, Boros!
At this moment, Boros's heart was surging. He slowly walked to the edge of the spaceship, gazing at the vast, silent starry sky.
Twenty years ago, he followed the Wizard's prophecy, traveling from the depths of the distant universe to Earth, solely to find a strong opponent who could fight him.
After being the Cosmic Emperor for so many years, Boros's fighting spirit had long cooled. He only wanted to find a truly powerful opponent to have a grand battle with and experience the passion of combat!
And now, he had sensed it.
The epic battle between King and Saitama earlier, the transmitted power was captured by the traveling spaceship.
To be able to transmit power so far, there was no doubt that it was definitely a strong person comparable to him!
As he thought this, the air around Boros constantly twisted, shaken by the power he inadvertently leaked, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
His long-cherished wish would finally conclude during his upcoming journey to Earth!
...Meanwhile, the two strong individuals whom the Cosmic Emperor greatly anticipated were gathered together.
King, who was drinking cola, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and turned his head in confusion.
Saitama walked back in a dazed manner, his yellow battle suit spotless, clearly having not engaged in any battle.
"You're back so soon? What did you do?"
Hearing King's question, Saitama scratched his head helplessly, trying to smooth his non-existent hair:
"Ah, let me think... I disbanded that 'Paradise Group' and also beat up a pervert in a black bodysuit, I think he was called 'Nick-o-Joint' or something."
It should be Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.
Just then, Saitama checked the time, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he almost sprang up:
"Oh no, how could I forget about this! KING, let's go, an old man is inviting us to his dojo for wagyu beef today!"
King was startled at first, then also remembered the appointment.
It was supposed to be at three in the afternoon, he thought.
He checked the time. Great, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon... The dojo.
In the empty hall, Charanko cowered in a corner, drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
Who stood up Master Bang? Come quickly and clean up this mess, you bastards!
Just like hours ago, Bang still sat alone in the very center of the hall, with his now cold tea beside him.
Compared to his calm and composed demeanor five or six hours earlier, Bang now appeared stable, but in reality, veins were bulging between his aged wrinkles.
Where are they?!
He angrily glanced at the time, realizing that an hour and a half had passed since the agreed time, yet Saitama and KING, who were supposed to be there, hadn't even shown a trace.
Bang let out an angry laugh, picked up his teacup, drank it all, and heavily slammed it on the ground.
How dare they stand up this old man!
Just as he was about to personally go and find the two, a familiar voice echoed from outside the dojo's main door:
"Hello? Is anyone home? Old Man Bang, I'm here! Are you there? Is the wagyu beef there?"
They actually came!
All his previous anger vanished instantly. Bang immediately suppressed all his displeasure, transforming himself back into the calm and steady Martial Arts Master he was before.
"Charanko, open the door."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Charanko obediently ran to open the door for the two, and after glancing at the composed Bang, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Master's ability to change his expression is truly fast, as expected of a Martial Arts Master.
