As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Saitama turned his head. What he saw was the hideous face of Sweet Mask, who had always maintained an elegant demeanor.

"The entire arena has unanimously decided that Garou should die, so move aside!"

"In other words, I've been excluded. It was just a fight; it wouldn't be good if someone died. The battle is already decided, right?"

“It is precisely because he is now powerless that it is necessary for us to eliminate him completely from our position.” Suddenly another voice came from the side; it was Child Emperor.

"Standard? Obligation? Don't spout nonsense that's hard to understand. It's time for kids to go back to sleep now." Saitama turned around and shouted at Child Emperor.

"You're the one who's outside the battle plan, so shut up. That guy's a despicable scoundrel who planned to kill children!"

"That's just him acting. The kids are over there," Saitama said, pointing casually into the distance.

"We must never let the tiger return to the mountain, even you understand that, right?" The zombie man, who had also left, came over and said.

"Hey... King over there. I've just strained my back a little. Excuse me, could you help me move this rock?" King, who was standing by watching, suddenly heard an old voice.

"Ah, I understand." Hearing the voice of the silver fangs, King rushed to the boulder from which the sound had come. He pushed the boulder with all his might, but it was no use.

"Fubuki, I'm counting on you."

Upon hearing King's request, Fubuki stretched out her hand, and all the surrounding stones flew up.

"Ah, I'm covered in wounds."

"Are you alright?" King asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, that guy knows his limits. That silly kid..."

"Thanks a lot, you've been a great help." With that, Bang jumped towards the direction where Garou was.

"I apologize for disturbing you all at this tense moment, but that fellow is my former disciple. Would you be willing to hand him over to me for disposal?"

"I'm handing it over to you. What do you mean by that?" Sweet Mask asked, turning his head.

"Rather than let him be killed by you young people, I'd rather finish him off myself. Saitama, thank you for stopping my disciple when he went berserk."

As Bang spoke, he walked to the side of the hungry wolf.

Looking at his teacher who had walked up to him, Hungry Wolf said:

"Stop lecturing me, kill me if you want, old man."

"You... idiot disciple!"

boom......

Suddenly, Bang punched Garou in the head, knocking him to the ground.

Bang then grabbed the wolf by the head and lifted it up.

"You've misused your strength."

"Is there anything you want to say? Anything is fine..."

However, seeing Garou's silent demeanor, Bang unleashed another combo attack on him.

"Oh, look at you, such a good-for-nothing!"

However, at this moment, the hungry wolf's feelings were completely different.

That punch, devoid of any imposing presence...it reminded me...it was the same when they expelled me from the sect. This guy...

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

At that moment, Sweet Mask's voice came from behind Bang.

“Give him the final blow, Silver Fang. You said you would do it yourself. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, then I will do it.”

"Can't we wait a little longer?"

"Step back. It might be bad if he regains his strength. There's no reason not to kill him immediately."

The zombie man beside him also tried to persuade him:

"You might have some regrets, but there's nothing we can do about it. And as for Garou himself... he seems to have no will to live at all."

"Is this okay? You only lost to me, is it really necessary to act like this?" Saitama suddenly shouted.

"Justice will be served. Die." However, Sweet Mask, who was standing to the side, was no longer going to wait.

However, at that moment, Sweet Mask's body suddenly froze. (773, 23. 7826)

"What's wrong with you?" Child Emperor looked at Sweet Mask, who was frozen in place, with some confusion.

"That's enough." At that moment, a girl's voice came from the side.

"Abigail?!" Child Emperor looked at Abigail, who was holding Tornado in her arms, in surprise: "What are you doing?"

"Don't you understand? We're stopping you from killing the hungry wolves!"

"What exactly do you mean? Are you in cahoots with the hungry wolf?" the zombie man shouted excitedly.

However, Abigail ignored the zombie man and turned to look at the starving wolf standing to the side, looking utterly dejected.

"Look at you, you really disappoint me. Is the pain you endured to gain this power less than this blow?"

Honestly, Garou went to extreme lengths to acquire his current power. The energy within him wasn't something you could just acquire overnight; to obtain such a massive amount of energy, Garou directly used his modified body to enter an electromagnetic reactor. He used the extremely high current to allow his body to adapt to the high intensity of energy.

However, this process was far from easy. The electric current coursed through his body, and the pain was unimaginable to Abigail, but the horrific state Garou had suffered was no joke. Every part of his body was charred by the electricity; if it weren't for his superhuman regenerative abilities after the modifications, Garou would have been dead long ago.

"But my future is meaningless," the hungry wolf said in a low voice.

"You're really fragile. Can't you think of any other way besides this one? Think about it, if you die here without any dignity, those weak people you want to save will have no hero. Come back with me. Since there's no other way, let's just create another one."

"Abigail, what are you talking about? Are you trying to protect this public enemy? Do you want to be an enemy of all human society?" Sweet Mask said with a gloomy expression.

"Who do you think you are! Get the hell out of my way!"

boom......

Suddenly, Sweet Mask flew out and crashed into the rubble.

"Abigail, what are you doing?" Child Emperor asked in surprise.

"Has the hungry wolf thought it through? Does he want to die here without dignity, or find a path that is difficult and hopeless, one that he can still walk on?"

"Really, is there any other way?" the hungry wolf asked, looking up.

"Who knows? If we don't leave, how can anyone know for sure?"

"I see, I understand now."

"Oh no, their eyes have regained their life force." At this moment, the zombie man next to him exclaimed in alarm.

Tell me, what is your name?

"Saitama."

"Very good, Saitama, we'll meet again someday." With that, Garou turned around.

"Hold him down! The hungry wolf is going to..."

However, before the zombie man could finish speaking, Garou had already disappeared.

"He escaped! He's gone! Chase after him!"

"If he escapes here, then we'll never... Go find him quickly."

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Seeing the panicked expressions on Zombieman, Child Emperor, and Sweet Mask's faces, Abigail turned away in boredom and left with Tornado in her arms.

Just then, the sky suddenly brightened.

The night passed just like that, but as Saitama looked at the vast, ruined place, he suddenly realized something—his home was gone.

In a pristine white room, Tornado awoke from her unconsciousness. She looked around, and the walls resembled the laboratory she had spent her childhood in. The sight evoked memories of her tragic past.

Enraged, Tornado attempted to unleash her superpowers to destroy the place, but she suddenly discovered that she could no longer use her superpowers.

"Don't waste your time, I've already sealed your superpowers. After all, superpowers are a kind of mental power. As long as I sever the link between your consciousness and the vast mental power in your brain, I can prevent you from using superpowers."

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and Abigail walked in from outside.

"What did you do to me, Abigail?" Tornado asked with a grim expression.

"It's nothing, just to keep you in line. It wouldn't be good if you tore this place apart. Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat. That guy Kinus really doesn't know how to enjoy life; the entire base doesn't even have a decent room."

After speaking, Abigail looked at Tornado, waiting for her response.

After staring at Abigail for a few seconds, Tornado realized that there seemed to be nothing she could do right now. So, she walked towards Abigail.

Walking down the corridor outside, Tornado looked around and was certain that this was some kind of experimental facility. But she didn't know exactly where it was.

Following Abigail, she arrived at a place resembling a lounge, where there were only two people and a gorilla. However, she saw a hungry wolf sitting on a sofa reading a book.

What exactly happened before?

Chapter 126 The Collapse of the Hero Association

A week had quickly passed since the Monster Association battle. Saitama walked home carrying a bag. Since his house in Z-City was destroyed, he had applied to work at the Hero Association headquarters in A-City. As for his eligibility, he had been promoted to A-rank after the Garou incident.

"Hey, have you run into any weirdos lately?"

No, did you run into her?

"Yes, a weirdo who looks like a toad."

"Judging from your appearance, that weirdo should have been dealt with by now, right? Are you a hero?"

"What kind of hero? I killed him with one punch. If I hadn't been close by, someone else would have gotten there first. What kind of heroes do we need now? Those heroes are probably not as powerful as me."

"That's true. By the way, have you heard? Something seems to have happened within the Hero Association lately?"

"I know, I know, it's said that the Hero Association is about to collapse."

Saitama, who was on his way back, overheard their conversation. Curious, he went over to investigate.

"Hello, excuse me, you just said you defeated a monster, is that true? You don't seem to be a hero."

"Of course I'm not a hero. Look at how skinny and weak you are, let me tell you, you should go to the House of Evolution and strengthen yourself. Even if it's not to fight monsters, it's not a bad thing to become stronger."

"Oh, so that means you've all been strengthened by the House of Evolution and are now able to deal with monsters on your own. That's really impressive."

"Yes, it's really quite good. Speaking of which, we have to thank the Monster Association for appearing this time. If it weren't for this incident, the House of Evolution wouldn't have been able to open up its gene modification project so comprehensively."
