Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 210 Overpowering All Heroes

Faced with Child Emperor's doubts and the hesitation of other heroes, the association's higher-ups naturally had their reasons:

"Even you guys didn't react in time, let alone the weirdo. If the enemy runs away because they're afraid of our strength, it will be harder for us to deal with them."

"As for the leader of this expedition, it will be led by the newly promoted S-class 'One-Punch Man'. I believe he can perform the role of leader well."

"Eh, me?" Saitama, who had been spacing out the whole time, immediately perked up when he heard the words of the association's higher-ups.

On the scene, Genos's expression remained unchanged. In his opinion, Saitama was the strongest, and it was only natural for him to be the leader.

"Why make this new hero the leader? Is he that strong?" Atomic Samurai asked, puzzled.

The other heroes also looked strange, unsure of the association's intentions.

"This was proposed by the nemesis, and all the traitors hidden in the Monster Association were dealt with by One-Punch Man alone."

"His strength is evident to all based on this achievement," the association's higher-ups explained, but they still couldn't convince the heroes, since Saitama's experience was simply too limited.

They immediately turned their attention to Tornado, since given his personality, he should naturally be the first to speak.

But at this moment, Tornado propped her head up with a listless expression. Thanks to the warnings that Byakuya had given her yesterday, she had no objection to Saitama becoming the leader.

Bai Ye then calmly remarked from the side, "If anyone has any objections, they are welcome to come up and fight Saitama. It doesn't matter if they get injured; after all, one of them is enough for this monster extermination."

"This guy..." In an instant, Bai Ye's words ignited the emotions in the room.

Since they were promoted to S-level, each of them has the strength to suppress a region. A city might not even produce one such talent, so naturally none of them feel that they should be subordinate to others.

Seeing the bald man standing there dumbfounded, the competitive spirit of all the heroes on the scene suddenly surged.

Saitama, however, remained uninterested throughout. Aside from his initial surprise, he showed no reaction whatsoever, only saying helplessly to Byakuya, "Hey, don't attract my hatred."

"Isn't this the fastest way? You were supposed to be the main force in this campaign anyway, and these people won't be convinced if you don't take action."

"If we keep dawdling, we might not even finish fighting the monsters' lair by tomorrow morning. Instead of wasting time, we should just defeat them all," Bai Ye said, shrugging.

"Alright." Saitama thought about it and realized it made sense. He turned his head and said, "Then bring it on. Who wants to go first?"

"Let me ask you for some pointers first." Atomic Samurai, with a thin toothpick dangling from his mouth, appeared behind Saitama without him noticing, his right hand gripping his katana tightly.

"Watch out, One-Punch Man!" Atomic Samurai warned, and the next moment, his katana had somehow left its sheath, and he swung it with all his might toward Saitama's forehead.

The specially designed katana moves at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound, and can leave tens of thousands of ultra-thin cuts, each 0.01mm thick, on Saitama's skin in the blink of an eye.

But before the blade in his hand was even halfway out of its sheath, Saitama's right hand had already pressed down on the hilt, gently pushing the katana back with a "clang".

"This is impossible!" Atomic Samurai stared at his right hand, which was covered by a red glove and was pressing down on his sword sheath, speechless. The difference was simply astonishing.

"Are you done?" Saitama asked with a kind smile as he gently released his hand.

"I... admit defeat." Atomic Samurai sighed, never expecting that his lifelong practice of the sword-drawing slash would be forcibly suppressed.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye stared wide-eyed, not blinking. If there were a progress bar in his mind, it would probably say: "[You have learned the technique, Atomic Slash 32%]".

"Tsk, they pressed it back before I even made a move. I only got a little clearer view." Bai Ye thought to himself, somewhat annoyed.

The heroes present were also somewhat stunned as they watched this scene.

Everything happened too fast. Many of them didn't even notice Atomic Samurai's move. How could they suddenly be defeated?

"Anyone else who's not happy and wants to fight, come on up here quickly," Bai Ye urged.

"I'll do it!" Super Alloy Darkshine shouted.

"I'll give it a try too!" Child Emperor raised his right hand and enthusiastically signed up.

"Me too!" Flashy Flox said with interest.

And then what awaited them was...

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

After three punches, the three S-class heroes who were famous outside were now all squatting to the side, clutching their swollen heads, and no longer saying a word.

Seeing the bald man calmly retract his fist, the other heroes who hadn't yet made a move were all momentarily stunned. Where on earth did this monster come from?

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's head to the Monster Association now," said a high-ranking member of the association, and the suggestion was immediately met with enthusiastic support.

With Saitama's help, who overpowered everyone, their confidence immediately soared, and they all boarded a private jet and flew to Z City.

……

In the underground of Z City, a fat, maggot-like, humanoid four-armed, one-eyed monster was lying on a soft recliner. It was none other than Gyoro Gyoro, the strategist of the Monster Association.

He was listening to others report what they had seen and heard on Earth, but the information they provided left him completely bewildered.

"You're saying our Monster Association has been exposed?"

"And that King even fought us and was seriously injured, unable to use his superpowers? Is there really such a good thing?"

"Our 33 high-level monster spies within the Hero Association were wiped out overnight? When did I plant any spies? How come I didn't even know I had spies within the Association?"

Faced with a series of reports from the ground, Da Jiongyan felt there were too many complaints to even begin to express.

How come the other side knows everything while I'm still secretly plotting to destroy the Hero Association? Where did they get this information?

The Big Eyes, which thought it had victory in its grasp, suddenly felt that the situation was somewhat miscalculated. Just as it was seriously thinking about what to do, the ground of the entire association suddenly trembled violently.

"What's going on?" Big Eyes looked around. He remembered that Z City was not located in an earthquake zone, so where did this earthquake come from?

Above, Saitama slowly retracted his right fist on the ground, watching as a huge hole leading straight to the ground was punched into the abandoned wasteland where he had lived for three years.

Everyone on the plane stared wide-eyed at the deep crater below, falling silent. Could this be the kind of damage caused by a single punch?

On the plane, Tornado's green hair fluttered slightly. Following Byakuya's instructions, she used her telekinesis to move Saitama's small house out of the no-man's-land ahead of time, and looked at the cave with a bit of surprise.

"Alright, heroes, now that One-Punch Man has created this environment for us, let's get ready to fight," the association's higher-ups shouted, and then all the heroes prepared for battle.
