Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

2 minutes and 41 seconds into the battle.

"Mom, I'm scared."

Outside of Z City, a little girl nestled into her mother's arms.

Above her, the clouds parted to make way for the overwhelming power, and the planet's atmosphere was parted in the middle by Saitama's serious punch.

The moon had shattered completely at some point, and a wriggling, pinkish-purple moon had taken its place.

As the figures clashed, the skies around the world howled, like the doomsday horn sounded by angels on Judgment Day.

The atmosphere was roaring.

Huge fragments of the moon were captured by gravity, shattered into more pieces in the clear, wind-swept sky, and then glowed red and bright from the friction of the air, turning into a daytime meteor shower that howled over the city.

From Genos's perspective on the ground, the traces of Saitama and Master Natsuki's battle stretched from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky into the depths of the Earth's core.

Life on the planet's surface cowered amidst the tremors and roars whose source was unknown. They were filled with fear and unease because two enormous, unseen beings were battling above, beside, and even underground.

The two figures moved so fast that they exceeded Genos's observation limits, and the battle could only be deduced from the scars scattered across the world.

The heroes of the Hero Association were at a loss in the face of battles that were completely beyond their capabilities, and could only focus their energy on the evacuation and protection of the civilians.

The higher-ups told them that the great disaster predicted by Granny Shibabawa had come true; the earth was doomed, and humanity was doomed.

"Impossible! The teacher uses his power with great restraint; he's definitely not the kind of person who would disregard everything for the sake of fighting."

Genos flew over Z City, his prosthetic eye spinning wildly as he tried to track the battle's trajectory while desperately trying to figure out why the two had fought so frantically.

After integrating a large amount of intelligence, he quickly arrived at an incredible answer—because their battle would not really affect others, and because all the damage they caused could be repaired.

Yes, according to information Genos obtained from online and other channels, the number of people injured in this battle worldwide is "0".

Even ICU patients undergoing surgery were healed by some mysterious force.

The economic losses suffered due to the fighting are being reduced to zero.

The earth and sky were healing, vehicles that had collided on the road automatically separated and restored themselves, and candies that had fallen to the ground flew back into pockets. In the roaring world, living beings were filled with fear, but in the end, they were all safe and sound.

Even this global fear was contained within a safe psychological threshold by an irrational force.

Everything was too bizarre, but only such fantastical facts could support Genos's conclusion.

His second conclusion was that Saitama seemed very happy.

"How spirited you are, Saitama!"

In the vastness of space, where there should be no support, Xia Jie stands atop a "battle moon" woven from her hair, staring at Saitama, whose eyes are incredibly bright.

"Yes, I felt so energetic... It's been a long time since I've fought like this."

Saitama clenched his fist, and an illusory yet scorching flame ignited on his crimson gauntlet—his "momentum," the burning fighting spirit within his heart.

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, but the two of them are so powerful that their voices can travel independently without a medium.

So powerful that the traces of their battle after they left Earth continued to reverberate in the vacuum, showing no signs of weakening, as if the world itself had been wounded.

Under the coercion of two minds, the vacuum of the universe was forced to become a place where one could breathe and draw strength, just so that the two supreme beings could have fun.

Xia Jie finally understood why the universe uses a single language, why life on different planets shares the same atmospheric composition, why humanoid beings exist in such a wide range of the universe, and why the number and strength of the strong on Earth are so unique in the universe.

Because once, a peerless powerhouse was born in the universe who unified the measurement system of the starry sea with absolute heart and strength, and molded the universe into any shape he desired, like kneading clay.

This peerless powerhouse may have been born on Earth, or may have cared most about Earth, which is why Earth has become the center of the entire universe.

For Xia Jie, this powerful figure who manipulates everything from behind the scenes has another, more widely known title—

Gods.

The battle erupted again in the next instant.

Galaxyes shattered, black holes collapsed, and all things became pitiful and fragile before the absolute will, turning into dust under the unrestrained power, and crushed into mud and ash under the feet of footprints that stretched light-years.

For life forms that have completely broken free of their own limitations and filled their power and growth into an infinite number, they only need to awaken slightly for everything to bow down to them.

Because they can truly center everything around themselves, the battle between Xia Jie and Saitama becomes increasingly beyond reason, beyond the limited physical spacetime that three-dimensional beings can perceive.

They never came, they left long ago, they are here now.

Above all things, in a dimension that is both vast and boundless, yet as insignificant as a speck of dust, the deity Xia Jie spoke of stood silently.

Shaped like a nebula, yet resembling a geometric form, it awaits the approach of the two amidst the extreme contradictions of existence and non-existence, the macrocosm and the microcosm.

Because information about the gods in the original work was lacking, the Challenge Space kindly chose the strongest one for Xia Jie when selecting similar worlds.

This also led to a situation where, even though ONE himself wasn't seeking controversy, and most of the plot and character designs matched the original or remake, the god who was the hidden boss was somehow excessively powerful.

Then, He reached out His "hand" to Xia Jie.

Excuse me.

As the first life form in the universe to completely unlock its limiter, it died so hastily in the hands of Xia Jie's mind, which was like a universal key.

No matter how many lofty achievements He has made in the past, no matter how grand His ideals are in the future, and no matter what power and obsession He possesses.

He fell into death so easily.

He, now dead, could no longer speak.

A being that has "completely" unlocked its limiters will naturally not be defeated, but a weak being that has only completely unlocked its limiters within the scope of the worldview is ultimately nothing more than a first-realm existence lingering within the system.

Therefore, He had no reason to attack Xia Jie without dying.

For Xia Jie, "logic" itself is also a kind of limiter.

The collapsed state of "cannot do" and "can do" is the manifestation of limitation. If an individual still has things they cannot do, or if they cannot "do" things because they "cannot do," then it cannot be said that they have "completely" broken free of the limitation.

The only truly unrestricted state is the "omniscient and omnipotent" being who can both fly out of logic and return to it at any time to have fun.

So, can Xia Jie "achieve" a breakthrough? He "cannot".

The idealism in the One-Punch Man universe is an objective idealism belonging to the worldview, rather than a subjective idealism of "I think, therefore I can, I freaking can do it".

It can only unlock restrictions within the framework of the world, and restrictions that the world allows to be unlocked.

Using it to challenge the "logic" that is the supreme truth of all heavens and myriad realms is no different from Wugensheng, who is second only to one person, using his supernatural ability "divine spirit" to dissolve the great supernatural power exerted by the original Yuanshi Tianzun.

LOL, it's simply "impossible".

and many more?

"Can't do it?"

Xia Jie's eyes sharpened.

Why can't it be done?

"Cannot do" means "cannot do".

Before logic, everything within the realm of logic is equally humble and powerless.

In other words, whether he has attained the fifth realm, "First Cause," and can create and destroy countless worlds in a single thought, or his numerical value is low, roughly equivalent to that of a strange person named Wugensheng on the roadside, or even a real stray dog ​​on the roadside.

The probability of them breaking through to the "Logical Realm" is equally "zero".

So, is there really a difference between seeking a breakthrough using one's own "first cause" and using external, false idealistic forces to break through the limitations of logic?

The answer is, no.
