Chapter 127 : Helplessness?

[The next moment, the perspective abruptly soared to an altitude of 10,000 meters!)

[Suddenly, a breathtaking scene unfolded!]

[The earth tremble, and the dust, visible to the naked eye, coalesced into a massive triangle!]

[With a thunderous explosion, an area spanning over 100,000 square kilometers and several kilometers into the sky was upheaved!)]

Kaboom!

Atomic Samurai turned pale, his gaze fixed, and he involuntarily swallowed hard.

Internally, he was roaring!

Is this a human!?

Can a human possess such power!?

The strength displayed is beyond comprehension!

Not only Atomic Samurai, but other S-class heroes shared a similar astonishment!

Even the usually arrogant Tornado went pale, unable to restrain herself from remarking:

"Does this guy have a god residing in him? Why is he so terrifying!!"

Silver Fang Bang sighed:

"Perhaps he is a god, but thankfully, he is on our side!"

Seated at the far end of the long table, the association leader, his body trembling with a mix of fear and excitement, declared:

"Make sure to identify him when the video concludes, and then we'll designate him as an SSS-level hero!"

"Any objections?"

No one answered, or rather, no one dared to challenge!

[The perspective now shifts to Garou...)

[Suspended in the airborne chaos, he remains oblivious to the unfolding events!]

[Gazing at the rocks and debris swirling around, he assumes it's another assault similar to the prior tornado!]

["Are you planning to launch a stone-based aerial assault against me?"]

[The corner of Garou's mouth curled into a sneer 

["Naive, futile!!]

[In the next second, Garou swung countless fists, shattering all obstacles in the vicinity!

[However, after a moment, he began to realize something was amiss!)]

[Nothing around him descended; everything, including himself, continued to float!)]

[Why is this?!!]

[Suddenly, he lifted his head, shock evident in his eyes!]

[What's happening? Why is there a triangular black hole in the sky!]

[Wrong!!]

[The ground came into view!]

[With his peculiar vision, he spotted several minuscule dark spots at the edge!]

[That's another hero!]

(At this moment, Garou finally comprehended that the ground beneath him was actually lifted by his opponent!)

["How is this possible!?"]

[Just as he was taken aback, a bald head suddenly appeared upside down in front of him!]

[Saitama's emotionless voice echoed:

["Consecutive normal punches,]

[In an instant, numerous red fists unfolded in front of Garou!]

[I can't dodge!!... The wolf hastily crossed his arms to resist, but it proved entirely futile!]

[His body tore through the air, shattering countless debris, utterly uncontrollable!]

[BOOM!]

[Saitama appeared behind Garou in an instant, delivering another normal punch!]

[Garou was sent flying in another direction like a sandbag!]

[However, these two moves nullified each other. After soaring over a thousand meters, he finally regained control and landed on a floating stone!]

[And Saitama reappeared in front of him at this moment!]

[Saitama looked calm, as if lost in thought, and uttered:

["Hey, show some strength!"]

 [Don't underestimate me!]

 With a fierce glare, Garou exerted all his strength: 

[God Killing Instant Fist!!]

 Hundreds of fists suddenly hummed and surged toward Saitama!]

[His answer was

[Two Hands · Consecutive Normal Punch!!]

[In an instant, there were several times more red fists than Garou, creating a scene reminiscent of rockets firing in unison!]

[Bang, bang, bang, bang!]

[Dense white mist erupted, and everything around was pulverized!]

[Amidst the screams, Garou's body was instantly sent flying!]

(And this time, he was blasted directly into the ground, which was blown away and stuck in the earth like a green onion!)

Off-screen, countless viewers were already desensitized!

The peculiar man before them resembled a relentless demon, ruthlessly pummeling and crushing like children!

At this moment, many spectators, witnessing the pitiable state of Garou, couldn't help but pray for him.

"Big brother of cosplay, run! If you don't run, you'll be beaten to death!"

In the spaceship, Boros's single eye gleamed with excitement, eager to swap places with Garou immediately!

If it were me, I could surely defeat this bald head!

"Listen, give me more acceleration. It doesn't matter if the ship is damaged; I want to be on Earth in an hour!"

"My blood is boiling; I yearn for battle!"

[On the ground, Garou lay still, his eyes glazed as he stared at the soil before him in bewilderment!]

["Why? Why did I lose to this human, so riddled with imperfections!]

["Why does that guy act like he wants me to play!]

[Shattered!]

[Saitama tumbled to the ground, cocked his head, and uttered:]

["No more fighting. Since it's so peculiar, the game is over."

["And if you're content, refrain from hero hunting in the future."

[Finally, Saitama sighed:]

[Garou, it's truly tedious to spar with you,"]

(…)

[What did he say? Bored?]

[In the mud, Garou suddenly opened his eyes, and they seemed to emit a white light at that moment!]

[Damn it, I'm the one who was defeated; how can you say such a thing!]

[Boom!]

[The soil scattered, Garou rose from the ground, and his speed accelerated once more!)

[In an instant, he seized Saitama's arm and crossed his legs to ensnare his opponent's neck!!)

[Instant-kill cross solid!!]

Countless viewers were thrilled!

Under control!

This is a skill that can vanquish the mighty with the weak!!

However...

[Late, Saitama was only slightly stunned, entirely unaffected. He raised his arm and slammed it toward the ground!]

[Boom!]

[Instantly, countless cracks appeared in the earth!]

[This impact nearly robbed Garou of breath, leaving him in intense pain throughout his body, with his hands and feet involuntarily loosening!)

[But he didn't surrender, rolling and tumbling amid the countless stones, keeping Saitama in his line of sight!]

[The next second, he appeared behind Saitama.]

[BOOM!]

[Just as he was about to throw a punch, he was instantly sent flying!)

[Attacking again and again, yet Saitama didn't even budge, as if swatting flies, knocking him up repeatedly!]

[Boom!]

[Garou was punched into the ground.]

[Staring at the dimly lit hole before him, Garou howled!]

[I need to be stronger. Stronger. Stronger...]

[But how?]

[Not skill, not power, not martial arts, not speed, not even punches.]

[Nothing.]

[At this moment, Garou is immobilized in the ground, motionless!]
