As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"What else could it be but a fight? What you're doing is too bizarre. Why don't you explain yourself? First of all, who are you? Are you playing house with those guys? Are you some kind of weirdo?" Saitama asked, his face still blank.

"Heh, so you're just a nobody, aren't you? You dared to show up at the scene without knowing anything about me? Do I look like I'm playing a weirdo game right now?"

"Isn't that right? You're clearly a human being. Do you really think that just because you call yourself a weirdo, you actually are a weirdo?"

"................."

"I see. So you've already come to understand death?"

The hungry wolf then pointed his finger at Saitama and said:

"So you're going to try and provoke me with your words before you get killed? What an infuriating guy. But in my opinion, you're the one pretending to be a hero. If you're a hero, why don't you muster up the courage to challenge me? What's the point of just talking big and pretending to be a hero?"

"You're not an A-rank kid, are you? Are you a C-rank? Or a B-rank kid who's still a long way off even if you try? If you're ranked B-rank, then your mentality is typical of a B-rank hero. Someone like you is completely insignificant to me; leaving you here won't make a difference. Alright, I'm in a good mood, so I'll let you off the hook."

Chapter 123 Saitama vs. the Hungry Wolf

The hungry wolf then turned around and looked at the people lying around him.

"If we destroy the S-class and A-class heroes, the Hero Association will naturally collapse. At that time, you incompetent bugs will also evaporate naturally. You trash are not worth my effort to kill. To put it simply, I have no interest in anything. I am just an ordinary person who plays hero games out of interest."

"You're just a weirdo because you're interested in doing this, aren't you?"

Hearing Garou's words, Saitama casually made a sarcastic remark.

"What? What's wrong? I've already let you off the hook, and you're still making a fuss. If I'm just playing the game out of interest, then there's even less reason for you to fight me, right?" Hungry Wolf said casually.

"Of course it's necessary, you big idiot."

"Isn't it a hero's job to keep an eye on you bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing fools who are just jumping around and hurting others without any benefit to yourself? Also, seeing these guys get beaten up like in the photos, even though it's not my business, I can't just leave them to dry like film."

After saying this, Saitama suddenly looked thoughtful:

"Hmm, no, no, how could I possibly say such a cool line?"

"Ah, I also feel something's not right. There's no way you could make me feel threatened. There must be some delicious S-class hero hiding somewhere."

Hungry Wolf looked around, seemingly trying to find the hidden S-class hero.

"You're not interested in me because I'm just a nobody, and I'm not interested in you because you call yourself a weirdo, but I still have to complain a bit. You're making noise in the middle of the night, it's driving me crazy," Saitama said with a disgruntled expression.

"What did you say?" The hungry wolf was a little confused.

“I’m a resident in this neighborhood. I came over to warn my neighbors, and when I turned around, I found my house had been blown up like a rocket. Even though some thugs like to cause trouble, there’s a limit. Apologize to me first, or I’ll cripple you.”

I see. So that's how it is. Deep down, you still hoped you weren't a monster, and chose to talk to me in a human way to break the deadlock? But then again, I certainly don't look like a real monster right now.

Suddenly, bright patterns appeared on the wolf's body. At a glance, one could also see some eerie blue light flickering along the patterns.

"I thought you'd given up, but I didn't expect you to be so calm. Did you think that just because I'm like this I'm not a monster? After seeing me like this, do you still think I'm human? I'm a monster, Garou is known as the Hero Hunter!"

"Where did you come from, you brat? You're such a nuisance."

At this moment, Saitama suddenly stopped and fell into thought.

"Wait, you said you're a hungry wolf."

"Oh, what's this? So even a nobody like you has heard of me. So, what are you going to do now that you know who I am?"

The hungry wolf then pointed at Saitama:

"So you know how to waste your energy and try to talk me off with human words? It's no use. From now on, what are you going to do as a hero?"

"Should we challenge Garou, the Hero Association's greatest enemy, with the belief that a miracle will happen, or should we continue to make excuses, thinking we can resolve the situation without fighting or running away?"

"Or you can continue to provoke me cheaply, and in return, I'll break your arms and legs. I'm going to kill that child right now. If you can't stop me here, the child will die a heroic death because of your incompetence."

As he spoke, the hungry wolf prepared to continue forward.

Moreover, Saitama suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the side, and said:

"There aren't any kids over there. The kids are over there. You mean that kid who's hiding far away, the one who's not cute at all? Because of your terrible acting, I really can't see what makes you seem like a weirdo, Hungry Wolf. I'll ask you one more time, how long are you going to keep this up?"

Garou was somewhat surprised to hear Saitama's words.

This guy can see even in such dark places, does he have really good night vision? What's wrong with you right now?

"Fine then, I'll just beat you up first."

Saitama clenched his fist and walked towards Garou.

"Beat me up? I didn't mishear, but I didn't expect you to rush over without hesitation. Do you have a death wish, pointing that clenched fist at me...?"

"Are you scared?" Saitama interrupted Garou.

"Idiot?"

The hungry wolf then raised its foot and kicked Saitama hard, the powerful force causing sand and stones to fly around.

"You got instantly killed." Looking at Saitama, who had been kicked to an unknown distance, Garou said, "This is what happens when weaklings try to uphold justice. You idiot, you're as sluggish as boiled pork belly. Don't ever be a hero again..."

However, before Garou could finish speaking, Saitama suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What?" Garou was shocked, but the next moment Saitama punched him in the face, sending him flying through the air, smashing through countless rubble and carving a deep ditch in the ground. After flying an unknown distance, Garou finally came to a stop.

"Even those who possess great power but use it for evil usually end up like this. That attack just now gave me a general idea of ​​your strength; you're probably quite powerful, but it's not enough. This is the first time a monster has shown me mercy. You really are just a human who wants to become a monster, but you're far too naive."

Saitama stood in the distance and shouted loudly to Garou.

boom......

Suddenly, rubble flew up from where the hungry wolf had fallen, and the wolf smashed all the surrounding debris before standing up.

"Naive? You mean me?"

The next second, Garou's figure had already covered a distance of several hundred meters and arrived behind Saitama.

boom......

However, to Garou's surprise, his attack was caught by Saitama, who then slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

What's wrong with this guy? He's ridiculously strong!?

The hungry wolf found it somewhat difficult to understand.

It took me so long to understand why this kind of person would end up like this... What kind of bastards do people become in the world?

The hungry wolf immediately stood up from the ground. Although the previous attacks were very powerful, they were still not enough to damage his current body.

"Do you realize now? It'll be too late to regret it..."

"You're still got a lot of energy, aren't you?"

Hoo, ha, hoo, ha...

"Hey, what's wrong? If it's heart failure, don't try to tough it out!"

"This is a breathing technique that combines many martial arts. This body is not yet able to use its full strength, so this is the preparation. There's no need to wait there politely. You're the truly naive one!"

"Just looking forward to it," Saitama said, waiting for Garou to adjust his state.

"You are strong, incredibly strong. I long to realize that, I long for that face to gradually distort with fear, to regret making me use my full strength, and to cry and apologize."

"Hey, shut up!" Saitama suddenly shouted, "Have you said enough of those lines that sound like they're describing someone who's bound to lose?"

"Hoo, ha... Come on!"

Having adjusted his posture, the hungry wolf immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Oh, right, this guy seems to be the old man's former disciple. So it should be okay if I knock him away, right?

Just as Saitama was lost in thought, Garou had already charged in front of him. Countless attacks poured down on Saitama in an instant—fists, palms, claws, fingers—a variety of different attack techniques were displayed under Garou's onslaught.

However, after launching a series of attacks, Garou failed to land a single hit.

"What the hell is this guy doing! It was clearly a useless move, yet he dodged my attack with miraculous dynamic vision and reaction speed..."

Sensing a slight opening, Saitama suddenly clenched his fist and punched Garou.

However, Garou easily dodged Saitama's attack with a slight movement.

Seeing Saitama's attack, Garou was still very confident.

After all, in Garou's eyes, Saitama's physical skills were completely amateurish.

"God-Slaying Instant Strike Fist..."

As Garou suddenly changed his attack, Saitama was caught off guard and, in a chain reaction, was hit by Garou dozens of times in succession.

As the combo ended, Saitama was forced back a step, stomping his foot and shattering an entire section of the ground.

boom......

Saitama then unleashed a burst of speed, charging towards Garou. However, Garou noticed Saitama's movement, turned to dodge, and kicked Saitama in the head.

Saitama reacted and turned to kick out in the direction of the hungry wolf.

"Maybe you're just a kid..."

Garou punched Saitama in the face, sending him flying.

"It's the secret weapon the association has been keeping hidden above the tornado, isn't it? But even you can defeat me, no, it's precisely because it's me that I can win!"

However, Garou's attack was still completely ineffective against Saitama. The moment Saitama regained his footing, rocks flew everywhere he was standing, and Saitama charged at Garou once again.

However, Garou dodged Saitama's attack and then punched Saitama in the face. The two exchanged blows for several rounds, with Saitama still unable to land a hit on Garou, but Garou's attacks were also ineffective against Saitama.

"Your strength and speed are like those of a monster, probably surpassing my current level. But you have no experience in combat, right? I'm a genius; I can easily read the movements of a complete novice like you."

By analyzing the patterns of posture, viewpoint, and movement, one can gain a certain degree of insight. By combining these with the shift in center of gravity and the tension in muscles, and observing them together, one can become fully aware of your next move.

"With an attack as fast as yours, if you tried to dodge it by reflexes, you probably wouldn't even have time to react. But I dodged your attack before it even finished, and I started attacking before you could react. You had no chance to react and were hit. The difference in martial arts experience determined the outcome!"

At that moment, Garou noticed that Saitama was also standing there motionless.

"What's wrong? Are you so scared you can't move even without being hit?"

"Haha, it was just a moment of emotion. I didn't even use my full strength, did I, Garou? Even a novice could see that. You're really too naive. It's okay if I'm serious, right?"

"Huh?" The hungry wolf was a little confused.

However, Saitama's face suddenly became very serious.

"A deadly move, the serious series..." Then Saitama suddenly stopped: "This position..."

"You mean you haven't been playing seriously at all so far?" Garou asked, somewhat surprised.
