Although there was some doubt about what King said at the end, out of absolute trust in The Strongest Man on Earth, Sitch immediately ordered the Hero Association Staff Members to act.
Soon, the association's Staff Members almost swarmed out, beginning to contact various engineering teams in City A.
Just over ten minutes after King left the Hero Association, the Hero Association's door was pushed open again, and a shining bald head came into view.
"Um..."
As soon as Saitama entered the door, he saw everyone busy, scurrying back and forth in the hall.
Uh, they look so busy, there must be something important, maybe I should come back another time?
Just as this thought emerged, Saitama suddenly remembered that he seemed to have failed to change his codename several times before due to various reasons. Am I wavering again this time?
Thinking of this, Saitama's eyes gradually became firm. He would no longer have this thought. Today, the codename Caped Baldy must be changed, no matter what.
With this in mind, Saitama strode forward, wanting to stop one of the Staff Members who was rushing past with documents.
But after only two steps, seeing the person sweating profusely, he slowly withdrew his hand.
Forget it, I'll go back. A codename can be changed anytime... Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was a day later.
The game controller was neatly placed on the ground, but King didn't pick it up to play. Instead, he seriously pondered a question.
He suddenly realized that Boros came to Earth entirely to find a strong opponent who could match him, which is why he came here.
The problem lies here: he was looking for strong individuals from beginning to end, not to destroy cities.
If he released a strong enough aura in a sparsely populated area, could he lure Boros there, thereby preventing City A from being destroyed?
After thinking about several possibilities, King shook his head helplessly.
This plan is difficult to implement, as he still doesn't know when Boros will appear.
This guy's spaceship has very powerful stealth capabilities, able to evade all satellite detection and silently land over City A.
Most likely, by the time he discovers it, the entire City A will have been blown sky-high.
Nor can he spend all his time in the wilderness releasing his aura; this action would be no different from being an idiot, so he can only wait passively.
[Woo!!!]
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded outside the window, accompanied by an urgent disaster broadcast.
[Attention all City Z citizens, a giant meteorite has been detected descending towards the center of City Z. According to predictions, the impact wave caused by the meteorite's descent will destroy the entire city and is expected to reach the surface in approximately 30 minutes!]
[Attention all City Z citizens, a giant meteorite has been detected descending towards the center of City Z. According to predictions, the impact wave caused by the meteorite's descent will destroy the entire city and is expected to reach the surface in approximately 30 minutes!]
Instantly, no matter what they were doing, people immediately stopped their actions, raising their heads in panic to look at the usually calm, blue sky.
However, what met their eyes was no longer just the boundless azure sky; a black dot visible to everyone was gradually expanding in the sky.
No, that wasn't a black dot, but a giant meteorite descending in a straight line!
For a time, the entire City Z fell into immense chaos.
The roads were filled with a torrent of cars, and people on the streets scrambled to escape, almost causing a stampede.
Some fled in despair, some took the opportunity to commit crimes, some knelt and cried bitterly, and some embraced their families, weeping.
In the face of such an inescapable natural disaster, humanity appeared so small and powerless, with all the different facets of life vividly displayed at this moment.
"Run! Damn it! Can't you go faster! If you're this slow, do you believe I won't run you over!"
"I'll f***ing! You think I don't want to run? Why don't you go urge the people in front of me? How am I supposed to drive if they don't move!"
Angry curses rose and fell.
"Boss, the meteorite is about to hit. Why are we still stealing here? Do we really have a life to spend this money?"
"What do you know! Heroes will come to the rescue for this kind of disaster soon. We just need to frantically accumulate wealth. This is a chance to get rich!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Boss is mighty!"
Two young thieves rushed into an empty store and started looting.
While others were desperately scrambling for daily necessities like rice, salt, and cooking oil, they rushed into jewelry stores, plundering gold and silver treasures.
A long queue had formed at the entrance of the air-raid shelter. Those at the back nervously peered forward, occasionally looking up at the meteorite in the sky that was gradually expanding in their vision.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a tall building somewhere.
Four figures swayed in the wind, their gazes simultaneously fixed on the giant meteorite in the sky.
Bang, Genos, Saitama, and King.
Watching the catastrophic meteorite gradually descend, the martial arts Grandmaster looked down at his calloused hands and sighed helplessly:
"The martial arts I've diligently practiced for many years truly seem as insignificant as an ant in the face of such a natural disaster. It has somewhat dampened my confidence."
Flowing Water Rock-Crushing Fist is ultimately just a martial art; it doesn't possess earth-shattering destructive power. Its main principle is to use an opponent's strength against them.
But with a chunk of meteorite like this, how is Bang supposed to use its strength against it? If he isn't crushed into a meat patty in one second, his physical body must be incredibly tough.
Saitama's expression was uncommonly serious, his face becoming sharp and angular as he stared intently at the meteorite above.
He had just heard the broadcast; if this meteorite were allowed to crash, his house would turn into ruins.
What a joke! I have all my treasured manga books here! How can they just disappear!
Saitama clenched his fist, and the muscles in his right arm seemed to swell slightly with the increasing power.
Compared to the serious others, King frowned slightly, showing no sign of panic even as the meteorite drew closer.
He was just thinking about how to deal with this meteorite in a way that would prevent residual debris from harming the populace...
