Currently, Garou was being attacked by multiple A-class heroes. Usually, he would take them all out instant, but his injuries slowed him down a lot.
But even so, he was still beating them all slowly but surely.
Alex thought about putting himself in Garou's shoes.
What if he was also an ordinary man, no system, with talent of martial arts, heavily injured, poisoned and tired? Would he be able to fight them all like that?
Alex found it hard to answer that question. He might have given up long ago by now.
"He does indeed possess an incredible will… probably even stronger than mine."
Alex did not see his will as his strongest point, he just relies on his infinity stones, transformations, and his sunshine ability.
He possesses other skills, but mostly relies on those.
"Finally… *breathes* water." With more injuries than before, Garou was ready to leave and find somewhere safe to rest. He left the area without anyone else interfering.
Alex found something weird. 'Shouldn't Genos appear by now?'
In the manga, Genos appeared before Garou right at that moment. But he wasn't anywhere to be seen.
Alex knew that he has done nothing to interfere with the plotline, not like he hasn't done that before.
"Should be the others who did this. Oh well. This is a good moment to talk to Garou."
Alex leaped down from the tree.
"Oi! Hero hunter!" Alex called out.
Garou stopped in his tracks. He expected another hero but it was just a teenager.
"Go home to your parents, kid."
"Ha! As if."
Garou ignored Alex and kept walking.
Alex thought about all possibilities to get Garou to join him. Words won't work, and offering him stuff like immortality probably wouldn't work either.
Garou gets his strength from losing. If he had immortality, he would never be able to lose or be at a near death state which makes him stronger every time, like a Saiyan.
Alex thought about it, and he was going to go easy on him. Of course, healing him won't make him feel satisfied, because that is who Garou is.
Alex stomped his foot hard on the ground, and Garou fell deep into a hole Alex created with his earthbending technique that he bought from the Avatar shop.
Garou's reflexes were got that he managed to dig his fingers deep into the sides of the earth wall, thus preventing him from falling to his death..
He looked down to see a bottomless cliff. Had he fallen, he would have died.
"What?"
Alex did another earthbending technique which closed the bottomless cliff. Garou sensed that and managed to push himself up and out of harm's way.
Despite being heavily injured, he is still powerful.
Garou looked at Alex a bit weirded out.
"I never heard of a hero who can manipulate the earth."
"That's because I am no hero. I am something beyond that." Alex raised himself with a pillar of earth under his feet. He looked like a powerful being that looked down on everybody.
He controlled an insane number of large sized boulders and hurled them directly at Garou.
Garou dodged them all by a hair's breadth. He wanted to save as much energy as he could to defeat his opponent.
Of course, those boulders managed to kill the other A-class heroes who were injured by Garou not too long ago.
"That's an annoying ability, but pretty entertaining to say in the least." Garou thought that it was child's play to hurl rocks at an opponent.
He used those very same rocks stepping stones to get closer to Alex.
Alex just smiled. He wasn't even using 1% of his power.
As Garou got closer, Alex did another weird movement, and air shot out from his fist.
The sudden surprise from the air attack caught him off-guard and send him back to the ground.
He spat out blood upon hitting the floor.
"Are you kidding? He can control air, too?" Despite that, he memorized Alex's movements carefully examining them.
Earth bending techniques are usually firm and strong movements. And air bending techniques were swift and agile.
Garou thought if he could remember those movements next time, he could counter those moves, and he will be able to defeat Alex.
"This is going to take a while." Alex said.
After another fierce wave of boulder hurling, Alex's movements changed again and water attacked Garou. Alex got the water from the trees and grass.
Garou was very stubborn and refused to give up despite receiving more injuries.
Alex felt a bit bored having to hold back against someone who is injured. But this is the one way he could think of that might make Garou join his team.
Lastly, Alex had to use his fire techniques. Garou somehow could tell what element he was going to use, so he managed to avoid his attack by hiding behind a boulder.
"Damn, how can he control the elements?" Garou now faced a very powerful opponent, probably the strongest one yet.
Alex raised his hands up high, and multiple rock pillars shot underneath Garou and launched him up high.
"Shit." Garou knew that when he was high up in the air, he could not dodge any incoming attacks.
Alex, shot forth a wave of fire at him.
Garou had no choice but to block that attack with his arms and legs.
But, before the fire could burn him, a weird looking Phoenix bird came out of nowhere and saved Garou.
Alex already knew he was about to appear in time to save him.
"Hey! Let me go!"
"Centichoro! I have Garou! Attack that human right now!" Birdbrain yelled loudly.
An enormous centipede with a humanoid face sprout from the ground, destroying everything in its wake.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Alex was amazed, because that is probably the biggest thing he had ever seen, even the Demon King from the Seven Deadly Sins world wasn't as big as him.
"Human, you are clearly a threat to the monster association. Be grateful that you are about to die by the hands of me, Centichoro."
But, Alex shot fire from both his hands, which incinerated not only Centichoro's entire body, but even an entire forest and city in its path.
Birdbrain, with a face filled with fear and terror, watched as how a kid burned down one of their most powerful forces in the monster association.
"Crap! Centichoro died. If I don't bring Garou with me, then I will really be killed. Thank god that humans can't fly." Even after that, he felt relieved that Alex had no way to follow him.
"But, if Orochi does intent to kill me, then I will escape by flying around like a jackass saying."
"Prepare to die, bastard." Alex interrupted him.
"I was going to say 'come and get me Orochi' but that works too… wait."
Without giving Birdbrain a chance, Alex hit his neck and sent him to the ground. Alex grabbed Garou by the shirt, he was already unconscious.
Now that Garou got the chance to see Alex and fight him, it was time for the next phase of his plan.
Alex teleported Garou to a safe location. He did not care about Birdbrain because he is so weak, and his soul is worth nothing. He can kill him any time he wants. Alex has other things to worry about.
A bit far away, two old men watched from afar, they were Bang and his brother. They have been watching Alex and Garou fight for so long. They were stupefied to see someone manipulating the elements as if they were nothing.
At first, they thought he was an esper like Tornado, but no, he appeared to be something much more powerful than that.
They also saw how a giant centipede was burned to a crisp without much effort. Even they did not think they could accomplish something like that. Not even Blast, who is the number 1# S-Class hero, could kill him that fast.
"Elder brother, do you recognize that kid?" Bang asked.
"No. In all my years, I have never heard of someone who can manipulate the elements. Let's just hope he is an ally and not a threat."
*BOOM*
The entire ground shook. Seconds later, the entire ground rose up high to the ground, like a tidal wave. The giant piece of land, that covered hundreds of acres worth of forrest, rose as high as the sky.
Something or someone managed to make the entire ground rise to the clouds, by sheer force and power alone.
It wasn't just the forest that rose up, it was multiple cities and forest that were miles away.
Bang and his brother were caught off-guard. They had no way to predict something like that would happen.
What's worse, is that with so many giant pieces of ground so high up in the sky, when it falls down to the ground it'll create a great impact, similar to a powerful bomb.
The ground rose so fast and so high, that both brothers were squished to the ground because of how fast it was going upwards.
"BROTHER!!! HOLD ONTO A TREE!!!" Bang yelled.
They both struggled at first, but reacted fast and held onto trees that were beside them. If they don't, then they will fall to their deaths.
Tornado, Pig God, Child Emperor were rushing towards Z-city, only to find that the entire ground beneath them rose up without warning.
"Huh?" They all said. Then they were all stuck to the ground, same reason that happened to Bang and his brother.
"Tornado, can't you do use your powers to slow it down?" Child Emperor loudly said. Even after this, he could still think rationally.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Tornado also tried to slow down the impact of the giant piece of ground, but it was too heavy for her to lift.
Child Emperor looked beside him, to find multiple mountain-sized land rising up beside them. All of them carried buildings, houses, cars, but most importantly, people.
If those mountain-sized lands touched the ground, considering their size and weight and the speed they will fall, no one will be able to survive, not even the S-class heroes.
Child Emperor was smart, and thought of many ways to somehow stop all those people from dying. But no matter what he planned, there was nothing that could help them.
Underneath the ground of Z-city, was the monster association.
Many powerful monsters were all hiding there, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack the humans.
They were all minding their business by killing some humans who had trespassed their area. The humans were going to die and every monster present wanted to see that happen.
Some of them wanted to kill them for pleasure, others to eat them and so on.
Until, they all felt some powerful shockwaves that left them all confused and panicking.
They saw the roof over their heads being lifted up high to the ground, they were lifted up with it because they were underground. But, they had no time to react because the ground beneath them cracked, sending them all to their deaths on a bottomless abyss.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Some cried, others yelled, some begged for their mothers to help them.
The most powerful members of the Monster Association, Orochi, Gyoro Gyoro, and all the executives, managed to save themselves, but not the other weaker monsters.
"What the hell?!" Gyoro Gyoro was stupefied as were the executives. How can someone do something like that without them knowing?
Suddenly, the entire area was covered by a dark shadow. They looked up to see that the same rock, who used as a roof for their hideout, was coming towards them like a meteor.
"Orochi! DESTROY THAT ROCK!!!" Gyoro Gyoro commanded.
"AAAHHHH!!!" Orochi used his strength and speed to destroy the giant rock before it kills them all.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The loudest and most powerful explosion was heard on every single major city in the world.
No one was safe.
The ones who did manage to save themselves were Tornado, Child Emperor, Pig God, most of the executives of the monster association, and others.
The reason Child Emperor and Pig God were still alive, was because of Tornado. She used her psychic powers to levitate herself and the two S-class heroes.
Unfortunately, she could not save anyone else besides those two.
"Tornado, thank you." Said Child Emperor who was grateful to her.
"It looks like you were right, no S-class hero could handle this. Probably only Blast can."
They looked everywhere. It was a mess. No signs of life or buildings could be seen. It was like a warzone.
"What powerful being could cause this?" That is what they wanted to know.
Tornado dropped them both to the ground then flew away.
"Wait! Where are you going?"
"To find my sister." Tornado flew without looking back.
*BOOOOOOM*
Another powerful explosion happened.
It happened so close that they could tell where it was coming from.
Tornado looked behind her, to see several people fighting on top of the pile of rubble.
Child Emperor and Pig God also saw the same thing.
They saw 7 people, fighting a bald man. Every single one of their punches caused a sonic boom that destroyed everything in its path.
They were the Commandments fighting Saitama.
It was them that caused the destruction around the world.
"Isn't that…?" Tornado and Child Emperor recognized the man they were fighting.
"B-class hero, Saitama." They recognized him because he once came to a S-class hero meeting uninvited. And also, they thought he was Genos's disciple, not the other way around.
They saw how Saitama fought the Commandments, all who were very fast, very powerful, even beyond that of an S-class hero.
They also saw how Saitama kept punching them with a great and powerful force, sending them miles back. Only for the enemy to keep coming back unscathed.
Tornado wanted to fight them, but left, not to due to the fear of fighting them, but the fear of her sister dying.
"Tornado!" Child Emperor cried out.
"I have to find my sister."
And so, only the 2 S-class heroes remained.
The Commandments kept fighting Saitama, and every single second, they caused a surreal amount of damage to the world.
Saitama was powerful enough to fight them all at the same time, with ease.
Mihawk conjured over a million swords behind him. All of the swords were made from his energy and the elements as well.
This is the technique that was given to him by Alex, the 'Hell splitting sword shadow demon scroll' technique. Originally named 'Light splitting sword shadow scroll' it was the same technique that was used by Hao Ren in the Dragon King's Son-in-law world.
It was given to Mihawk when they were at the MGA world, and he has always practiced this technique for the longest time, but never used it on an enemy because there was nobody strong enough to use it against.
What his technique can do is it can conjure many swords out of this air. The amount of swords one can create depends on their strength in cultivation.
However, the only flaw it had was that it could create only 48,000 swords no matter how powerful one was, that is the limit.
Mihawk was already powerful enough to trample even the strongest in DKSIL, but Mihawk could not conjure more than 48,000 swords if he trained the original scroll technique.
Alex didn't know why that was exactly, so he fixed that flaw easily.
And now, Mihawk could conjure millions and millions of swords, all of them were almost as powerful as his main sword. And that still wasn't his limit.
With his new nen ability, his swords were plenty strong.
He surrounded Saitama with his swords, but that still did nothing to him.
Madara was quite surprised to see Mihawk was as powerful as him. He remembered a time when Mihawk was weaker than him, but not anymore.
Madara also activated the 10-tails chakra that was dormant inside of him. Alex just helped him tap into that energy and use it once again like the fight with Naruto and Sasuke.
Madara's long black hair was white instead. He wore a white robe with black symbols on it, instead of his usual dark Commandment robe. He also now wielded a staff that he made using the 10-tails power along with many black orbs protecting him.
This is his full power. The power he had in the Naruto world is nothing compared to how strong he was right now.
If Alex was here, then he would feel that he made the right choice in recruiting them both. But he already knew that long ago. He has never regretted his decision in recruiting any of them, even Eggy.
Madara was overly confident he could fight with Saitama as equals, but reality proved to be rough.
Saitama kept launching punches, kicks, headbutts at them, and they could not counter his insane strength.
Only this time, they were a bit more prepared and none of them turned to meat paste like last time. But they would find their bones broken but immediately healed right after.
Linlin also used her speed to counter Saitama, but found that he is as fast as her in terms of speed, maybe even faster. Imagine like that scene from the Justice League movie, where the Flash is shocked and scared to see Superman as fast as him.
Madara tried using genjutsu on Saitama, and it worked, for the time being. Saitama punched himself in his face to get rid of the illusion he was in. How he even knew to do that, no one knows. Even so, even his punch could not injure his face.
Of course, Meruem, Steven, Eggy, Lili also had a tough time countering Saitama. All of them combined could not take down a single human.
The one who was having the greatest time of his life, was Saitama himself.
'How long has it been… since I faced an enemy who could last more than one punch? How long has it been since I had this much fun?'
In all his life, Saitama has never had a decent life ever since becoming bald and powerful.
Most of the other Commandments also had fun fighting the invincible Saitama. Saitama enjoyed this fight more than them.
Child Emperor, and Pig God, stood very far away from the fight. They could still feel the incredible power and strength of those super powered being despite being so far away.
"How the hell did we fail to see this man's strength? How blind are we?" Child Emperor was mostly shocked at Saitama's strength.
He could not believe that someone as powerful as Saitama has been literally under their noses this whole time, and never knew his strength until now.
This was the same as not being able to notice a diamond the size of mount Fuji in front of you.
And what was worse, is that the Hero Association only promoted him to C-class at the start, when he should have been at the S-class, no… even higher than that. They should have made Saitama as the Earth's secret, the strongest hero, the saviour of humanity.
Unfortunately, no one else saw this because they were dead.
Tornado could still hear the intense fight despite having flown far away.
She lifted up all the rubble and piles of rocks off the ground to find her sister.
"Blizzard! Where are you. Don't be dead or I will kill you myself!" Tornado yelled in hopes that her sister is fine.
"Over here." Blizzard yelled.
Tracing the source of the voice, Tornado lifted a giant boulder and found her sister deep under a hole that was there. Because of how deep the hole was underground, it did not crush Blizzard.
Blizzard was injured, but still alive along with her men.
"We're saved." Blizzard's men cried in joy to have been saved by an S-class hero.
"Good, you're alive." Tornado attended her sister who is injured not caring about the rest. There was a metal pole at impaled her right shoulder exiting out from the other side.
"Sis, what happened?"
"I don't know. Just heal and rest." Tornado did not say anything so she does not worry her.
Tornado did want to fight the ones who brought harm to her little sister, but what mattered right now is that she made sure that Blizzard was out of harms' way.
*Boom*
Several explosions kept resonating and shook the ground once more. It wasn't as powerful as before, which was good for them. They are not sure that they can be as lucky to survive another ordeal like that.
"Let's go." Tornado used her psychic powers to raise her sister and fly with her far away from there.
"Wait, my group!" Blizzard did not want to leave her men.
"If they're heroes, then they can save themselves." Tornado said that because carrying more people around is exhausting. And she wants to save up her energy in order to bring Blizzard far away from there.
Blizzard tried to escape, but could never go against the power that her sister wielded. She looked at her men with tears coming out of her eyes. If only this didn't happen...
*****************
Before I start writing the next chapter, I need to say something.
I will not be adding Blast into this. Because I believe that Blast is actually Saitama, but lost his memories, which is why we never see him and Saitama together. And I do not want to wait until that happens in the manga… so yeah.
Also, my second opinion is that Mumen Rider is Blast. Now that would be an awesome plot twist, but I would rather see it happen in the manga than in my story, which will take 10 years or so...
Just the thought of another person having equal strength to Saitama would make me mad. Saitama's strength is what makes him unique, if there is someone else with as much strength as him that isn't Mumen Rider or Saitama, I would drop the manga right there.
And also, I am glad to announce that this fanfic is 90% done. We have come a long way indeed.
And one more thing, I have noticed a weird pattern going on with MC's and their hair…
Dragon Ball has Goku growing and changing his hair colour and grows stronger.
Saitama lost his hair and got insanely powerful.
Izuku Midoriya, from My Hero Academia, ate hair to get his strength.
All of these characters came to have the strength they possess because of hair related things...
What's next? To be the hair? To smell the hair? Become the hair? Or to be able to manipulate your hair and use them like weapons against an evil group of bald people, whose mission in life is to make everyone else bald… wait…
