Ch. 148

As soon as the voice fell, all of their eyes fell on Xyrus, Saitama and Whitebeard who has just arrived.

Superman, who has seen them, sighed in relief, while at the same time, confused at the newcomers beside him.

"Hey there." Xyrus said as he looked around and saw three Batmans but with different set of outfit.

"Who's the enemy, who's the ally?" He asked.

Both Batman and Superman raised their hands like some kind of diligent students, indicating that they're the allies.

"Alright." Xyrus nodded at Whitebeard and Saitama.

"Saitama, go handle that red guy, Whitebeard, the blue Batman is yours. I'll take the lady one." Xyrus issued a command as they nodded and turned to face their current enemies.

Saitama went and faced the Red Death as the Red Death also stared at him.

"Who are you guys? You're not front this universe." The Red Death said as he can't remember any of their faces not to mention, his guts told him so, so he made an assumption.

"Bing Bong! You're right, though I apologize but I don't have anything to give you as a price." Saitama's positive attitude seems to have pissed off the Red Death as red flashes of lightning surrounds him before the entire area, or the entire universe slowed down.

Red Death, who was already walking towards Saitama with the intention to kill, didn't notice that Superman's and Xyrus's eyes were on him.

What he did notice though was that Saitama's eyes were following him.

Red Death's eyes widened in surprise as Saitama spoke.

"Woah, you're so fast! How are you doing that? Can you teach me?" Saitama's eyes glowed in excitement as he got closer to Red Death and asked.

"How?" The Red Death can't believe that someone is capable of keeping up with him in terms of speed.

"Doesn't matter. I'll just kill him." Red Death decided to not beat around the bush and serious before disappearing from his place and appeared in front of Saitama with his fist getting closer and closer to his face.

"You're slow." Saitama said as he dodged The Red Death's punch and countered with a punch of his own, towards his abdomen.

Luckily for the Red Death, his senses are very sharp and coupled with his Speed Force, he managed to dodge Saitama's punch by stepping back but that was his mistake as the space itself bended on Saitama's fist due to how fast and strong it was.

And before The Red Death could react, the entire space in front of him formed something similar or an air ripple that traveled towards The Red Death's abdomen.

"Bllarrrgghhh!"

The only thing that the Red Death could remember was pain all over his abdomen before passing out, or dying to be exact as his entire torso was ripped off, leaving him only with his chest, arms, and his head.

*Splash!*

"That was boring." Saitama commented, not knowing that everyone's eyes was on him.

"How could he beat him? Is he faster than Red Death?" The Merciless opened his eyes wide as he stared at the remaining part of Red Death's body.

He could clearly tell that the Red Death died under one punch from this guy.

And it didn't even made contact!

"Looks like you'll be facing me now. Guararararara!" Whitebeard stepped up in front of him as he stomped his Naginata on the ground, forming a shock wave around them, blasting all the dusts and rubbles.

'Who are these guys?' Not only The Merciless but also Batman and the others except for Saitama and Xyrus said it themselves as they can't believe someone is capable to be this strong.

'If they're already as strong as these guys, then how about their leader? How strong is he really?' Batman said to himself as he stared at Xyrus in the air.

Xyrus, who noticed Batman's wary and confused gaze, waved his hand at him with a calm smile.

'I need to make counter-measures against them in case they go rogue.' Batman continued to himself as he made a note to himself to make a seperate folder for Xyrus and his companions, their strengths and weaknesses.

Typical Batman.

"Don't underestimate me. You may have defeated Red Death but his strength is no match for me!" The Merciless, mercilessly said as he conjured two axes on his hands and threw the other one at Whitebeard.

The axes were glowing in red as the blade itself slowly was covered in blue flame.

Whitebeard picked up his Naginata and parried the axe using his weapon.

*Clank!*

Whitebeard's Naginata was covered in a white bubble and a reddish black Armament Haki, while a very fierce aura was covered on the blade of the Naginata.

The Naginata hasn't even made in contact with the axe when the axe itself crumbled apart without resistance.

"What?" The Merciless's eyes widened in surprise, but he soon calmed down, he already expected for the attack to fail, he just didn't expect for it to be this fast.

Fortunately, he has already charged his other axe with his divine energy and slashed it forward, it doesn't need to make contact with Whitebeard as the divine energy itself is enough to annihilate the entire country.

Unfortunately for him, he was under Xyrus's eyes, so before the divine energy could ran out, Xyrus snapped his fingers and the divine energy that was gathered on his axe disappeared without a trace.

Right now, The Merciless looked like an idiot swinging his axe in the air.

"Huh?" With confusion in his eyes, The Merciless could feel that his connection onthe divine energy disappeared.

However, these move of his gave Whitebeard a chance to strike him mercilessly.

*Crack!*

Whitebeard has used all of his strength on this blow, so The Merciless's entire armor broke into pieces, showing his muscular body full of scars.

A large wound has appeared on The Merciless's entire torso, right from his shoulder and down to his waist.

"Arrgghhhh!"

The Merciless fell on the ground as Whitebeard got closer to him and pointed his Naginata at his neck.

"You're very strong. But you used your powers on a wrong way." Whitebeard said his last words to The Merciless before bringing down his Naginata, decapitating The Merciless's head. Turning him from The Merciless to The Headless.
