Great, we're doomed now!

An emergency news broadcast interrupted the television program:

[The space agency has issued an emergency evacuation notice as a massive meteorite is hurtling towards Earth.]

"This world is really unsafe; besides weirdos, there are even meteorites."

The big boss, puffing on a cigar, was extremely relaxed: "I wonder which city got so lucky."

All residents of Z City have been urgently evacuated!

Repeat: A meteorite is heading towards Z City. Evacuate everyone!

"Ah..."

Only when things got too hot for the boss to handle did he come to his senses, dialing the number again and shouting at the top of his lungs—

"Sell off all assets in City Z! Sell them all!"

No! It's free!

"If anyone wants it, sell it all quickly, otherwise when the city rebuilds, the city government will definitely try to extort a huge sum of money from me to maintain their authority!"

How are you feeling?

"If it's a meteorite, it will be more troublesome."

Can we win?

"Will Japan win? -???#"

On a skyscraper in Z City, Ye Shou, Fubuki, Bang, Bomb, and Saitama stood looking up at the azure sky, seemingly searching for something.

Meanwhile, Mumen Rider, along with Gon and the Fubuki Group, had already gone to evacuate the city's residents. After all, a natural disaster of this scale is unstoppable in the eyes of ordinary people, and the only way to deal with it is to escape.

—Meteorite!

Disaster Level: [Dragon]!

Once it lands, it will instantly unleash destructive power far exceeding that of a nuclear weapon of maximum yield, enough to literally raze Z City, and even a much larger area, to the ground!

In fact, many basin-like landforms on Earth are remnants of meteorite impacts. Even the seemingly solid continental shelves become as fragile as eggshells under the force of these cosmic shocks.

Even the Hero Association has already decided that Z-City is beyond saving. Since it was originally the least populated area, they might as well just relocate everyone out of the city and abandon it altogether—maybe they can kill some monsters along the way.

But some people still refused to move, or believed that heroes would step forward. So, some people did indeed stand up and decided to face the impact of the forces of nature with their own bodies. Even though it seemed foolish, the people involved did not waver in the slightest.

"Oh my god."

"What's wrong, Onii-chan?"

"No matter what you say, I still think it's impossible."

Bump tilted his head back, stroking his beard as he said, "How could a human fist possibly destroy something like that? Even your Water Stream Rock Smash Fist couldn't do it, and neither could I."

"Do you have so little confidence in me?"

Do you really think you can do it?

Bump looked down at his brother, frowning. "Isn't it just that you're thinking of unleashing all your power for a desperate last stand?"

"As expected of my dear Onii-chan—since you understand so much, why are you still here?" Bang asked with a smile.

"Sigh...it's all because I have a brother who causes me so much trouble," Bump sighed helplessly.

"You've always loved causing trouble. If I hadn't given you 'love education' in time, I don't know what you would be like now... You're so old and still so hot-blooded?"

"Hahaha~"

The two brothers were putting on a cheesy family drama, and Ye Shou and his two companions couldn't get a word in edgewise, so they simply ignored them.

"I've never hit a meteorite before, I don't know if it will work," Saitama said, but his calm expression clearly showed he wasn't worried.

"But something this big would be a real problem if it broke into pieces."

"I'll leave the fragments to you, Fubuki." Ye Shou took over the conversation, turning to the mature woman with dark green hair, "I'm looking forward to your performance."

"I?"

Fubuki was stunned, and said rather uncertainly, "As for meteorite fragments, if my sister were here, she could definitely catch them all. As for me... three, four... at most four."

"You have to believe in yourself. You may not be able to do it now, but you can gradually improve your skills with experience. After all, there's a first time for everything."

Ye Shou narrowed his eyes, a dazzling and sacred golden light flashing in his pupils. A mark immediately lit up on Chuixue's forehead, and her body was automatically energized by psychic power, as if a gentle breeze was supporting her body and making her float up.

"This...this is!"

She could feel it! A powerful energy was continuously flowing into her body!

At this moment, his spiritual power expanded outward continuously, as if he wanted to bring the entire city under his control!

“I have strengthened the ‘connection’ between us. From now on, you can use your power without any worries and without fear of running out of energy, because I will provide you with a continuous supply of energy.”

"This is incredible!" Fubuki felt the power flowing through her body, and despite her efforts to remain restrained, she couldn't help but reveal her excitement.

She finally understood what it felt like to have an inexhaustible psychic power, like a tornado... because this energy seemed endless!

"But be careful, it will only work when you are within a certain distance of me. This is just a temporary help. It is impossible to grow to the level of your sister without going through all kinds of trials."

"Can I... really catch up with my sister?"

"Believe in yourself, or believe in me."

Ye Shou smiled slightly: "Because I said—[Hell's Blizzard] can do it!"

"..." Fubuki felt as if she had been punched in the stomach.

It wasn't painful, but there was something inexplicable churning inside her, making her feel both joyful and vaguely uncomfortable.

After saying that, Ye Shou seemed to remember something, took a step forward, and leaned forward slightly: "Don't move."

Huh? What's going on here?

No way! There are still people here!

As Fubuki watched the face approaching, she suddenly felt flustered. She instinctively wanted to dodge, but her body wouldn't obey her. Finally, with a strange reason like "wouldn't it disappoint him if I hid?", she nervously closed her eyes.

Chin slightly upturned

Their foreheads touched lightly, then separated almost immediately.

As the man's presence faded away, Fubuki opened her eyes in a daze, her flushed face showing slight embarrassment and a hint of disappointment.

But soon a strange electric current ran through her body!

hum!

As if a switch had been flipped, Fubuki's body tensed instantly, and then a visible burst of air exploded, rushing across the entire rooftop and attracting everyone's attention.

"How powerful... Is this the leader of the [Fubuki Group]?"

Bang gazed intently at Fubuki. Because of his training in Ripple, he was now extremely sensitive to life energy, almost forming a perspective detached from the five senses, though this was slightly different from "Mind's Eye."

Therefore, he could clearly sense the life energy emanating from Fubuki's body—an energy that was ridiculously powerful for someone who did not practice physical techniques.

But he also knew that this was definitely related to Ye Shou!

"What did you do to me?" Fubuki was a little dazed, but quickly realized what was going on. "I understand!"

This is exactly what Ye Shou did back in the House of Evolution:

After enhancing one's mental strength, in order to avoid putting extra burden on the body, one should inject a large amount of vitality to improve physical condition; otherwise, if the limit is exceeded, it will backfire and harm oneself.

They thought of everything so thoroughly... specifically to protect me...

Fubuki glanced at Ye Shou, who was no longer paying attention to anyone else but was looking up at something, completely unaware that his figure was reflected in another pair of bright eyes.

'This man, though polite, always maintains a certain distance from others, not as easygoing as he appears. Yet, these subtle details are particularly...gentle. What kind of person is he?'

Wow! Look! Look!

Saitama suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the sky. His voice showed no tension in the face of a natural disaster, but rather a little surprise, like a southern child seeing a heavy snowfall.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw a small red dot appear on the other side of the sky, like a faint spark. But within seconds, it could be observed that it was growing larger and was obviously approaching at an extremely fast speed.

As the red dot grew larger and its outline became clearer, it revealed itself to be a colossal meteorite engulfed in raging flames, with an unknown length of tail. The rocks on its surface had melted into magma under the intense heat, flowing along its edges—this was Death, visiting from deep space.

The shadows of the city stretched long and short by the firelight, the walls shifted rapidly between light and shadow, and you could feel the gradually rising heat in the air with every breath!

Bang and Bomb tensed their bodies, their inner energy flowing silently within them. Bomb would unleash his most prized martial arts technique, while Bang decided to test his newly learned "Ripple Burst" in the final moments of his life, knowing he would have no regrets no matter the outcome!

Fubuki's body surged with pale blue psychic energy, ready to receive the fragments.

Ye Shou, however, remained calm and collected. He even pulled a handheld camera out of his pocket, pointed the lens at the sky, and casually pressed the shutter button. After turning it halfway around, he shone the camera on Saitama—like a reckless war correspondent.

"It's rare to capture the scene of a meteorite impact. If this were in the main world, it would definitely win the Pulitzer Prize." Ye Shou spoke casually, as if he were filming a landscape. Saitama even gave him a "V" sign, showing his camera sense.

The two individuals' relaxed demeanor contrasted sharply with the resolute attitude of those around them.

Boom!

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the silver-white airdrop pod broke through the clouds and crashed heavily onto another building not far from the rooftop. When the dust settled, a robot with a metallic sheen slowly emerged, its streamlined body covered with intricate patterns.

“It’s Metal Knight!” Fubuki recognized him at a glance, her brows furrowing slightly.

Without uttering a word, the Metal Knight suddenly transformed, its airdrop bay unfolding into a massive weapon platform. Countless cannons and laser emitters popped out from all parts of the fuselage, flashing with a cold, icy light.

The next second, countless lasers and cannonballs rained down on the meteorite, and the deafening roar echoed throughout the city!

However, the outer layer of flames on the meteorite acted like a solid shield. The shells melted instantly upon impact, and even a laser sweep only created a ripple, merely breaking through the outer layer and failing to destroy the core.

Metal Knight's attack was completely ineffective, failing to slow the meteor down even slightly.

The attack lasted for ten seconds. Seeing that it had no effect, Metal Knight began to retract its fuselage, and its thrusters emitted a pale blue stream of air, clearly indicating that it intended to retreat.

"Metal Knight!" Bump shouted. "Are you just going to leave like this? Even if this mechanical body is lost, it won't affect you, will it? There are still people down below who haven't been evacuated, at least..."

"The efficiency is too low."

Metal Knight's mechanical eyes flashed red, his tone cold and indifferent: "The attack was ineffective. Staying any longer is pointless and a pure waste of resources."

I've already tested the new weapon's performance. There's no other reason for me to stay; this body still holds valuable data to preserve.
