One-Punch Man: Boros, the Universe Overlord

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Hero Association's war room was heavy. The overhead lights shone on the massive round table, illuminating the tense faces of the many high-ranking members around it.

Miss Ekusma, with her neat short black hair, wore a tight-fitting uniform that accentuated her stunning figure. Her exquisite, almost bewitching face was filled with a cold stern expression. At this moment, she held the electronic information panel with her slender fingers and said in a deep voice:

"Latest intelligence confirms that S-Class Hero Metal Bat has been severely injured and is currently in a deep coma. Furthermore..."

She paused, her long, narrow, and alluring eyes narrowing slightly as she scanned the crowd present:

"The only son of the wealthy Mr. Nalikin, Vaganma, has been kidnapped by a strange man."

"What?"

A gasp erupted from the corner of the conference room, "How could this be? What is their purpose?"

"It is not clear at the moment."

Ekusma frowned, his tone filled with anxiety.

"However, the wealthy individuals account for as much as 70% of our association's funds. If this incident leads to the deaths of the hostages and a halt to investment, the association's operations will face a major crisis."

"In that case," an older board member suddenly stood up and declared, making the final decision.

"Our primary task now is to rescue Vaganma with all our might. Immediately gather all A-rank and S-rank heroes and prepare for the rescue operation."

A young staff officer raised an objection, pointing to the real-time battle situation displayed on the screen outside the window.

"However, Director, there are still a large number of strange people wreaking havoc on the outskirts of the city, and civilian casualties are increasing. All cities need support."

"Don't worry about those things for now." The older director said firmly.

"Gather all capable high-ranking heroes. Even if it means sacrificing the outer defenses, rescuing the hostages is our top priority! This is the highest order!"

Just as the cadres were about to receive their orders, an arrogant voice suddenly rang out at the door.

"Heh heh... How lively! Looks like your Hero Association is a bit overwhelmed by the disasters outside? Where's Azure Heaven Fist? Where did he go?"

Who is this person?

The officials in the conference room were shocked and looked towards the door with suspicion and uncertainty.

All that could be seen was a tall, platinum-colored figure leaning lazily against the heavy alloy door frame. The person's muscles were clearly defined, presenting a cold and shiny texture like a diamond. Every inch of his skin reflected a dazzling luster under the light, and a playful smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

The newcomer turned out to be "Platinum Sperm," a former top executive of the Monster Association.

In his recent clash with Boros, he witnessed firsthand the invincible power that seemed like a god. That level of power made him clearly realize that the likes of the Great Serpent and heroes were nothing more than self-righteous frogs in a well.

To Boros, he was just a pebble that could be kicked away at will. As long as he was around, no matter what happened, the Hero Association would always be the ultimate victor.

Since going against Boros is suicidal, and the demise of the freaks is already a foregone conclusion, it's better to go with the flow than to put up a futile resistance.

Coincidentally, Boros had the same idea before he came to Earth.

As the saying goes, "A wise man adapts to circumstances"... Boros believes Saitama is unbeatable! Platinum Sperm also believes Boros is invincible, but they might both be exceptional individuals...

Since I can't beat them, I might as well join them! This is just common sense among strange people, and it's understandable, right?

(⊙o⊙)

Therefore, while the Monster Association was sending monsters to attack and create chaos, Platinum Sperm realized that this was a golden opportunity: taking advantage of the Hero Association's predicament and urgent need for combat power.

He broke away from the Monster Association and stormed into the Hero Headquarters alone, intending to secure a new identity and future for himself in this situation.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

Ignoring the hostility filling the room, Platinum Sperm slowly stepped into the conference room, his gaze sweeping over the entire room as he smiled and said:

"I've come here specifically to join your Hero Association. How about it? Aren't you honored?"

"Who are you? How did you get in?" an officer stood up and asked.

Who I am is not important.

Platinum Sperm's voice echoed in the conference room. He casually glanced at the cadres around him who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and the smile on his lips grew even wider.

"The important thing is that I can help you quickly get rid of the weirdos outside. As for how I got in? Forgive my bluntness, but your headquarters' defense system is nothing but a facade to me. Getting in is as easy as turning my head."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, his knuckles making a crisp cracking sound, silently showing off his strength.

"I'll help you solve the trouble outside, and you give me an S-class hero status! How about it? Think about it?"

"To join our Hero Association, you need to pass our tests and undergo layers of vetting to ensure you pose no risk to society..."

Jin Zilian, the association's recruitment officer, was speaking, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by another director who raised his hand.

The director, with piercing eyes, stared at the platinum sperm and said:

"Alright, since you're so confident, I can make the decision. If you can really deal with the monsters that are rampaging outside, I can promote you to S-class hero without any exceptions."

"Wow, that's great!"

A glint flashed in Platinum Sperm's eyes, as if he had anticipated this scene. He laughed loudly and said:

"Tell me the coordinates of all the locations where you need support, and I'll take care of everything within an hour. As for the reward, I want the 10th rank in S-class, and the hero codename... let's call him 'Platinum Overlord Fist'."

"Okay, I agree."

The director nodded decisively and then gestured to one of the officers next to him to quickly hand over the association's specially made communicator.

"This is a specially made communication device from our headquarters. We will send you the specific location where support is needed through this device!"

Platinum Sperm snatched the communicator and let out a wild laugh:

"Hehehe, alright! Without further ado, I won't keep you in the meeting any longer, please continue!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a white-gold afterimage and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

Seeing the figure disappear, Miss Ekusma, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke up, calmly analyzing the situation:

"When this person first came in, he asked about the whereabouts of Azure Sky Overlord Fist in private. Moreover, the ranking he asked for was only one place lower than Azure Sky Overlord Fist. He even chose a hero codename that was extremely similar to 'Platinum Overlord Fist.' I'm afraid there is some kind of deep relationship between him and Boros that we don't yet know about."

After listening, the director picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said:

"These things are not important for now. And whether he can deal with those weirdos outside or not, we will not suffer any losses. If he can return successfully, we will have gained an S-class combatant out of thin air. If he is unfortunately defeated, it doesn't matter. No matter the outcome, it is a sure-fire deal for us."

"Let's continue discussing the action plan for rescuing Wagangma..."

………………

The platinum sperm, transformed into a platinum-gold streak, traversed hundreds of kilometers in a matter of moments, reaching the skies above the disaster-stricken area of ​​D City, as marked by the Hero Association. Even before landing, a nauseating, overwhelming stench of blood assaulted the senses.

Looking around, the once bustling commercial street has now been transformed into a chaotic battlefield. Broken lampposts lie scattered on the ground, and in the middle of the street, a strange figure dressed in a pure black tailcoat and draped in a dark red velvet cloak stands elegantly amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

His long, silvery-white hair fluttered in the wind, his two sharp fangs gleamed coldly, and there were still traces of dark red blood at the corners of his mouth.

Behind him, countless citizens and several heroes collapsed helplessly to the ground, their bodies shriveled and their faces pale, clearly having been drained of all their blood. The scene was deathly silent, with only the blood still slowly flowing and gathering.

"Heh heh, I thought it was some big shot! It's just you, Little Bat!"

Platinum Sperm curled its lip in disdain, looking down at the vampire monster below as if it were an insignificant ant.

"White, platinum sperm?!"

The vampire, who had been elegantly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, froze upon hearing the mocking voice from above. He looked up and saw a familiar white-gold figure hovering in mid-air.

His already pale face became even more bloodless, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. With a hint of unease, he subconsciously took half a step back and asked with difficulty:

"You, didn't you announce your departure from the Monster Association a long time ago? How come you're suddenly appearing in a place like this?... Have you come back?"

"Did you come here to help me eliminate this city's heroes? If so, there's really no need. Look..."

He pointed to the mountain of shriveled corpses behind him and swallowed a mouthful of blood.

"I've taken care of all the heroes and troublemakers here. There are no more targets for you to deal with. You can... you can go and explore other cities..."

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Platinum Sperm's lips curled into a cruel, mocking smirk.

"Alright, my time is precious right now, so I won't reminisce any longer. I'll send you on your way now!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Why? What did I do? We're comrades... If I've ever offended you in any way, I apologize! Please..."

Before the vampire could finish his pleading words, the platinum sperm in front of him turned into a flash of light, and in the blink of an eye, its figure had already mysteriously appeared behind him.

The next instant, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the vampire monster's body, which had been standing upright, instantly disintegrated into countless flying fragments of flesh and blood, disappearing completely into the street before it could even utter a scream...

The platinum sperm didn't even bother to look back at the results; its form had already vanished, instantly heading towards other cities.

Meanwhile, City I is descending into desperate chaos. A gigantic octopus-like monster, the size of a skyscraper and covered in countless blood-red eyeballs, is wreaking havoc in the city center. Its thick tentacles easily rip up steel and concrete, and its enormous eyeballs spew corrosive acid, swallowing buildings one after another.

Below it, the A-class heroes, led by "Death Gatling" (ranked sixth in the A-class rankings), could only awkwardly dodge the collapsing rubble. Their heavy weapons were like tickles to the monsters, and they were completely helpless, forced to watch the destruction spread.

"As expected, with your half-baked fighting skills, not only will you fail to solve the problem, but you'll also cause even greater casualties. All of you, stand back and watch!"

Just as everyone was in despair, a confident and magnetic voice rang out.

Suddenly, Flashy Flash, draped in a cloak and wielding a longsword, slowly walked in from afar. He made a dashing entrance, calmly twirling his sword before assuming an attack stance...

Just as Flash was about to show off, before he could even take a step, everyone suddenly saw a flash of white light, their vision blurred, and a blind spot remained on their retinas for a moment...

Immediately afterwards, a cold voice rang in everyone's ears, a beat too late:

"Excuse me, could you please let me through?"

Before the words were even finished, the enormous body of the hundred-eyed octopus suddenly froze in mid-air. Then, its surface suddenly lit up with tens of thousands of fine, white-gold rays, as if it were being cut by countless invisible blades at the same time.

The next second, the enormous monster, accompanied by a deafening explosion, exploded into a shower of foul-smelling chunks of flesh, like a torrential downpour of blood and gore.

The platinum figure didn't stop for a moment, nor did it even reveal its form for a second before breaking through the clouds and continuing to speed towards the horizon, leaving behind only a mess, a group of dumbfounded heroes, and Flashy Flash holding a longsword, completely bewildered.

"Who? What was that? What was that thing that flashed by in a flash? My eyes are going to be blinded!"
