Uncontrollable cold sweat poured down Saitama's face.
That earlier punch could be said to have exerted all his strength without holding back even a bit. He was certain, even Kaguya with her immortal and indestructible body, wouldn't have a chance to survive under that punch.
However, although Saitama had burned all the blood energy in his body and drove his physique to the maximum limit—even surpassing that limit until he briefly penetrated the understanding between life and death—that attack was still held back very casually by the mysterious figure of Rank One of the Golden List.
With just one finger!
"What kind of terrifying existence did I actually want to challenge before..." For the first time, Saitama doubted his own strength.
He initially thought that since he became bald, he would never again find an opponent. Whoever the person, it was difficult to withstand the authority of one of his punches. Even an existence like the Ancient King turned to dust with just one attack. But before Rank One of the Golden List, he felt like a baby; very ridiculous.
Suddenly, in the sky, an eye opened on the Golden List and instantly locked onto Saitama's figure.
The Golden List had found his location. That eye emitted a bit of doubt and uncertainty, but soon closed again.
"What is it looking for? Looking for me?" Saitama felt a bit strange, but with his carefree nature, he didn't think too much about it.
Although he experienced failure, this was the first time he truly saw that mysterious Rank One figure take action, and he realized there was a very large gap between them, like heaven and earth. This didn't shake his self-confidence at all, instead it strengthened his resolve to train, as if returning to the time when he was still an ordinary human first facing monsters.
He was very thirsty to become stronger. Yes, he was still not strong enough, still far from enough!
Fire seemed to blaze in Saitama's eyes. The wings on his back suddenly opened, his figure floated into the air, and he flew quickly toward a randomly chosen direction.
Currently he didn't know where he was because the new Three Worlds were too vast. He needed to find a reference point or ask humans to find his way home.
He couldn't wait to immediately start his training!

Kaguya panted, her face still retaining a deep frightened expression.
For the first time, there was someone who made her feel the sensation of death. Even when facing her former colleague, Otsutsuki Isshiki, she had never felt it. She never thought there would be someone who could kill her, at most only seal her like before. But that baldy truly made her taste what fear and death threat were.
"Fortunately! Fortunately..."
Suddenly Kaguya's expression stiffened, her hair on the back of her neck stood up.
Only now did she fully awaken from the horror and a faint shadow appeared in her mind.
A figure whose face couldn't be remembered blocked between the two of them, and only used one finger to hold back that baldy's terrifying punch.
That fist capable of destroying heaven and earth must have been able to tear her indestructible body into powder, yet was instead easily held back by that mysterious figure.
(Who is he actually?)
That answer had almost come out and appeared in Kaguya's mind. Rank One of the Golden List, Kaiser!
Although she had been sealed for years, the Golden List's penetration seeped everywhere. Even in her sleep she still received information from the Golden List. That mysterious existence actually showed itself, and the distance was very close to her.
Different from that baldy's explosive power, that mysterious Rank One figure appeared very unpretentious, there was no existence aura leaking even a bit, as if just an ordinary human who was very mundane. However, it was precisely this figure whose face couldn't even be remembered who held back that baldy's tremendous punch.
Since Kaguya ate the Chakra Fruit, her ambition kept swelling. Now she rose again using Uchiha Madara's body and received blessings from the Golden List, making her become even stronger. Even Saitama who was Rank Three couldn't make her feel afraid. However, Kaiser the Rank One gave her an extraordinarily chilling feeling.
Terrifying!
Truly terrifying!
Both Kaguya's Byakugan and the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead opened wide until red veins were visible. She always felt she was being watched by some existence, but she couldn't find where that party's position was.
In the sky, an eye opened on the Golden List, staring at Kaguya below with an evaluating gaze, then slowly closed again.
The Golden List lit up again; this great battle had ended, but the Myriad Beasts List announcement wasn't finished yet.
[Rank 4: Zunesha (Ancient Elephant)]
[World Origin: One Piece World]
[Description: One of the oldest ancient creatures in the One Piece World. Body length exceeds 20,000 meters, height more than 30,000 meters. Carries a large city on its back and has been walking for a thousand years. Its strength is very terrifying.]
[Growth Potential: 9 Stars]
[Taming Value: 1 Star]
[Golden List Reward: Guilty Crown. To wear the crown, must bear its weight. Guilty Crown has the ability to absorb sin and manifest it into real objects. It seeps everywhere, erodes souls, and rots flesh. This is one of the most troublesome powers in the world, even more than the seven emotions and six desires. Your sin will be borne by this crown, and this crown will also become your most terrifying nightmare.]
Beside the Golden List, an image appeared.
That towering body looked like an ancient fossil; its small movements alone already triggered giant waves. Those four elephant legs were like sky-supporting pillars, and one of its trumpets alone triggered drastic weather changes.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
New World.
Zunesha was walking on the sea when a light pillar suddenly fell from the sky striking it.
That light pillar broke into star grains, and a golden crown appeared. This crown enlarged blown by wind; initially human-head-sized, that golden crown directly enlarged to Zunesha's head size and was firmly installed on top of its head.
Countless black air streams began gathering from Zunesha's body toward the crown; Guilty Crown was absorbing sin.
"Look, what's that!"
"My God, I've never seen a crown that big!"
"What kind of existence actually is this mysterious Golden List!"
On top of Zunesha's back, many people in the city looked up above, their faces showing shocked and frightened expressions.
Above that crown, black-colored sin swirled, surprisingly manifesting giant demons showing fangs and claws, two-winged, holding tridents, and looking very evil.
The appearance of these demons made people in the city even more frightened and ran helter-skelter. Zunesha let out one long trumpet, and the demons in the sky seemed to receive orders; they dove down and entered back into the crown, disappearing without a trace.
Zunesha returned to silence in stillness.
In the distance, Kaguya's figure appeared. Staring at this ancient elephant, her face couldn't help but show surprise. The place she was teleported by Rank One happened to not be far from here, so she witnessed the entire incident.
She could clearly sense that this Zunesha was far stronger than the Juubi, especially after having...
