Chapter 136: Are You Kidding Me?!
Meanwhile, One Light-Year from Earth.
On the surface of a barren, lifeless planet, a naked human walked across the desolate landscape.
He possessed a lean, powerful physique, but his most striking feature was his shiny bald head. His dull eyes scanned his surroundings with mild curiosity.
"Hello? Anyone here? If you're there, say something. At least tell me where I am."
After waiting for a long time without a response, Saitama gave up. He lay flat on the ground, concentrating all his senses into his hearing. His simple, doodle-like face sharpened into an angular, serious expression.
[Serious Series: Serious Hearing]!
In an instant, every seismic vibration and movement on the entire planet echoed in Saitama's ears.
After a brief analysis, he stood up and sighed helplessly, beginning to stretch his limbs.
"Looks like another dead rock with no life. I guess I can cut loose then."
After swimming through the cosmos for a while, Saitama had stumbled upon a pretty good method to accelerate.
He discovered it by accident when he was traveling at sub-light speed and got caught in a planetary core explosion.
He realized that if he triggered a planetary detonation himself, the massive kinetic impact of the explosion would propel him at light speed for a long duration—and he wouldn't even have to use any of his own energy to move.
With that thought, Saitama looked down at the deep red crust of the planet. He raised his fist, every muscle fiber erupting with physical power comparable to a collapsing star.
[Serious Series: Serious Punch]!
Saitama's gaze focused as he smashed his fist into the ground.
This seemingly simple punch triggered a cataclysmic change the moment it touched the surface.
The entire planetary crust behaved like a layer of skin being ripped away; invisible force hoisted a wave of rock a hundred meters high, which then collapsed under the sudden surge of gravity, forming a massive abyss.
Magma, boulders, and dust were sucked into the air by the warped atmospheric currents, looking like a waterfall flowing in reverse.
Ultimate, terrifying power spread across the surface. Millions of spiderweb-like cracks crawled frantically across the planet's face.
The ground disintegrated, magma erupted, and the force of the blow continued downward until it reached the planetary core.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Accompanied by a roar loud enough to make the stars tremble, the young planet produced a brilliant explosion, shattering into the cosmic void.
In the vast expanse of space, a bald humanoid figure was now flying at the speed of light, hurtling in the direction he thought was correct.
Dimensional Space.
GOD, who was busy transmitting His power to His proxies, suddenly froze. His body shuddered involuntarily, as if He had seen something horrific.
That bald human who transcends the rules is an absolute monster... At this rate... he'll be back here in less than two hours...
And compared to the remote threat of the Baldy, the current threat was much more immediate.
The stars used to suppress King were cracking inch by inch. King's aura shot into the heavens like a massive, world-spanning pillar. The physical power surging within him caused space itself to distort.
After several rounds of adaptation, King had evolved a body strong enough to resist the sealing pressure, and he was still getting stronger.
For him, this was a trial—a refining process. King's original aura and body were like unrefined iron, but after being tempered by the pressure of this divine seal, his density was thousands of times higher than before.
This wasn't just a physical boost; it was a total upgrade of his aura and mental fortitude.
CRACK!
The crisp sound of glass shattering echoed within King's body. His aura spiked once again.
I've broken the seventh limiter. I thought GOD would be my greatest enemy, but he's actually turned out to be the ultimate EXP farm.
King almost laughed at GOD's situation. He's literally funding his own enemy.
Despite being suppressed, the power of the System was far superior to GOD's. King could still browse his status panel at will.
[Name: King]
[Gender: Male]
[Abilities: King Engine, Extreme Regeneration, Precision Control, Energy Mastery, Adaptive Nature, Soul Indestructibility]
[Strength: 99,000]
[Speed: 89,500]
[Stamina: 88,500]
[Defense: 95,000]
[Spirit: 73,200]
[Note: The threshold for Dragon-Level is 1,000 in all stats.]
Compared to before he was sealed, his stats had jumped nearly eightfold. It was a terrifying ascent.
To put it bluntly, King could now trade blows with his previous "Gate of Death" self while in his base form, and he'd likely be the one doing the suppressing.
Staring at King's increasingly horrific aura, GOD had no choice but to divert 70% of His total power just to keep him pinned down. Only the remaining 30% was left to support His Dragon-level Executives on Earth.
He was suffering in silence, a "bitter pill" he had been forced to swallow.
As a God, in all the eons of time, He had never met such a disgusting fellow.
He couldn't be killed. Releasing him would ruin the plan. Sealing him only made him stronger.
If He could just keep killing him until he couldn't leave, that would be one thing—but the guy just kept getting stronger with every death!
Driven to desperation, GOD was forced into the foolish act of "funding the enemy," hoping only to complete the extermination of humanity before King grew powerful enough to shatter all His chains.
But looking at the situation on Earth, His five Dragon-level Generals were currently stuck in a stalemate with those heroes.
WHAT A BUNCH OF USELESS TRASH!!
Seeing His strongest subordinate, Diamond Sperm, dragged away by Blast made GOD feel even worse.
Before He launched this final offensive, that "Bastard Human" named Blast had been pestering Him daily with his little team of allies.
Those "bugs" weren't particularly strong—at most, they reached the entry level of God-tier.
But every one of them possessed a unique secret technique: they were incredibly fast. Even as a God, He couldn't catch them without significant effort.
With a terrifying Baldy returning to the solar system from the front and a super-buffed King about to break His seal from the back, GOD was caught in a pincer move. If He had human sweat glands, He'd be drenched right now.
