Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 435 Infinite Reincarnation
There isn't a teacher named Saitama?

Or perhaps Saitama doesn't even exist as a hero?
Upon hearing Genos's answer, Z froze on the spot.

Because this contradicts what he knows about the facts—how could there be no Saitama?!

With a touch of inexplicable melancholy, he subconsciously began to comfort himself:
'It might just be my imagination; there's no such thing as time travel, and this memory in my mind might be fake.'

Thinking of this, he forced himself to calm down, because

Just as he was convincing himself, Tornado scoffed, "There's no need for anyone else."

"The only verifiable achievement of the Fang Can you mentioned is killing Tao Baibai, a bronze-level assassin from an underground organization. I can do that too."

"I can go by myself, there's no need for so many people to come to the meeting."

"Hey, Lady Tornado, don't be impulsive. Fang Can does have some strength after all."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Everyone, let's all go together. Whoever can defeat Fang Can will win."

"How about we have a team-building event for our Hero Association and see who's the strongest among the heroes?"

……

Z watched the chaos at the Hero Association below the stage with a cold expression, but his mood sank further.

Because everything in front of him, except for Saitama, was proceeding in the same direction as he remembered.

Both their dialogue and their reactions were completely identical, as if they were made from the same mold.

Throughout the entire performance, Z silently watched the people on site performing the model opera.

After everyone had finished performing, Z finally let out a sigh of relief and pleaded:
"Everyone, the future of humanity depends on you all. In order for the Holy Grail War to begin smoothly, we must bring Fang Can under control."

Although there is no Saitama, Z feels that everything is normal.

After all, Saitama is only a C-class hero, while these people here are A-class and S-class heroes, and they all look very confident.

Even without Saitama from my memories taking action, theoretically it should be a sure thing.

Thinking this, he exhaled softly and walked towards the steps, but after only a few steps, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Mr. Z, where did you hear about the character 'Saitama'?" Xiang Jianling asked curiously as he leaned closer.

To be honest, some of the reincarnators, after seeing that One-Punch Man had been incorporated into this world, also wanted to find Saitama to rely on.

After all, for just a little money or a few supermarket discount coupons, you can get at least a Star-level powerhouse to be your bodyguard. Isn't that a great deal?

Unfortunately, after searching around, Xiang Jianling and the other reincarnators still couldn't find Saitama.

But just when they were feeling disappointed, they heard the name from Z instead.

So after the meeting ended, these people immediately came up to ask questions.

"Have you heard of the name 'Saitama'?" A look of surprise appeared on Z's face. What he thought was a memory suddenly became strange.

“Of course, we also have Saitama in our memories, but we can’t find him in reality,” Xiang Jianling said, immediately stirring a strange emotion in Z’s heart.

"Have you all traveled back in time too?" Z blurted out instinctively, only to receive a bewildered response from the group.

"What time travel?"

"No...it's nothing, I need to go back and look up some information." Z said this and hurriedly left the scene.

Upon returning to the foundation, he immediately began to retrieve the Dead Sea Scrolls and carefully peruse its contents, reading them countless times.

But nothing changed!
No new entries were added to the entire Dead Sea Scrolls, which means... the change happened in the future!

Z couldn't hide his anxiety. As a foundation that had been in charge of documents for thousands of years, he was naturally familiar with the rules governing documents.

Some fusions occur in the future, but they can cause changes in the upstream and downstream of a given point in time. However, the Dead Sea Scrolls will only show the added entries after that point.

便好像在2025年5月21日13时14分，大融合开始之前，整本死海文书上是一个字都不存在。

However, in the short two months following the Great Integration, the document contained thousands of new entries, adding over 100,000 words of text.

It is clear that after certain entries were added in the future, the revised history completely erased Saitama's existence.

But this only clarifies the mystery of why Saitama disappeared.

As for why he returned to a day earlier with his memories, even Z himself doesn't know or can't be sure.

and……

How did those reincarnators manage to know about Saitama without knowing about time reversal?

I don't know... I don't know... I don't understand...

A host of mysteries lingered in Z's mind, making his thoughts increasingly stagnant.

Fortunately, this super-Earth has enough talented and capable people.

The Hero Association is, in the end, just a tiny, insignificant organization.

It was in the mental hospital (Center for Research on Abnormal Phenomena) next door in North America that the Sentinels, Celestials, Galactus, Thanos, Kyubey, Evil of This World, Witch, System Owner, Anlan, Spiral Force, Bat Who Laughs, Containment Item, Godzilla, Two-Dimensional Foil, and others were imprisoned there.

And this is only the largest one in North America.

The other four permanent members of the UN Security Council all have organizations of this level.

Any one of these, without any restrictions, would be a terrifying entity capable of overturning the entire super-Earth.

Compared to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, their foundation is just a small, unknown organization.

The so-called ancient gods are probably nothing more than beings that can be easily destroyed by the largest organization under the Five Constants.

However, because North America doesn't manage everything like the East, it has a stronger belief in something like destiny.

Simply put, it means you should handle your own affairs first, try to solve them yourself, and only let me clean up the mess if you can't.

This directly resulted in the foundation being able to continue existing, preventing it from being directly absorbed by those large organizations, but it also directly led them to try to resolve Fang Can's crisis.

Folding the Dead Sea Scrolls neatly, Z looked at the bookshelf in front of him, pondering the organization's next move, when the phone beside him rang.

"This is Z. What can I do for you?"

Z asked in a calm tone, but the news from the other end of the phone soon made him lose his composure.

"What did you say? What do you mean Fang Can slaughtered the entire Hero Association?" Z's voice rose subconsciously.

"Yes, sir, but that's just how it is," the subordinate on the other end of the phone said helplessly.
"Our relentless pursuit seems to have angered the enemy. Everyone in the Hero Association except for the number one S-class hero has been killed or maimed."

"And..." The person on the other end of the phone seemed hesitant.

"Tell me, is there any other question?" Z pressed.

"Miss Terrifying Tornado, ranked second in S-class, has gone missing after her battle with Fang Can."

"Also missing was her younger sister, the B-rank hero Hellfire." Z: ...

After struggling to process all this information, Z took a deep breath, never expecting things to be this serious.

The Foundation and the Hero Association, two self-governing non-governmental organizations, were completely destroyed.

Of course, this also means that this matter has exceeded their management scope, and they can now report it to the authorities.

"Since that's the case... we have no choice but to report it..."

Z's eyes were resolute; he felt that Fang Can was no ordinary opponent and that he had to deliver a powerful blow.

With this in mind, he immediately began to contact the higher-ups in the organization.

Meanwhile, inside the hotel.

Fang Can sat imposingly on the sofa, looking at the two people in his arms with his arms around them.

Tornado and Hellish Blizzard both had a dreamy, rabbit-like expression on their faces.

But Fang Can, who had just vented his anger, still felt somewhat uneasy because the world was just too unsafe.

Star-sized behemoths, universe-destroying villains, and so on...

There have been dozens of natural disasters that could destroy the universe, and each time we have been desperately trying to save lives.

"This damn world... there's nothing good about it." Fang Can sighed, then glared at the two sets of condoms: "Switch to automatic!"

But before he could continue to explore the truth of the world, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Tsk..."

Fang Can clicked his tongue lightly, feeling the full effect of his "From Adversity to Prosperity" ability activated in one go, which meant he was in a very precarious situation.

In other words, the danger lurking outside the door at this moment is not to be underestimated; it is a being that could pose a fatal threat to him.

"Wait here for me a moment, I'll be right back..." Fang Can said softly to the two of them, then put on his clothes and walked towards the door.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a robot made entirely of steel blocking his way.

"Infinite Ultron—"

Fang Can stared at the metal robot in front of him, but the next moment his body was pushed by the robot and he was inevitably thrown into outer space.

Boom——

Almost instantly, the entire hotel exploded, and a beam of white light shot straight into the sky.

Fang Can's body was then taken away from the direction of the solar system. The plan was to knock Fang Can unconscious outside before attempting containment procedures.

"The Bureau of Investigation has ordered a complete takeover of the Foundation's projects and the absolute use of force to detain Fang Can."

Ultron's electronic eyes flashed with a cold light. With a sudden throw, it dragged Fang Can's body directly to the neighboring Trisolaran planet. Then, its right arm, carrying enough force to destroy a star system, slammed towards Fang Can's face.

With this punch, not only Fang Can's body, but also the void within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles will be distorted and disintegrated.

But Fang Can's arm held firmly in his hand as he delivered that powerful punch.

Fang Can stared at the metal lump in front of him, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and said, word by word:

"Your world is so rude!"

Data flashed through Ultron's mind: 'Target threat level significantly increased, estimated damage level—galaxy…'

Before he could be fully analyzed, his head was pierced by Fang Can's arm in the next instant, and then his body was kneaded into a lump of scrap metal by Pei Ran's great force.

The next moment, Fang Can glanced back at Super Earth with a nonchalant air and said casually, "I see!"

- Swish! ! !

When Z came to his senses, he was already back at the Hero Association venue, having left the Hawaii resort, and the same people were there again.

'You're... back again?'

Z murmured to himself, feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

He was already preparing to retire, and the foundation had completely lost control and been handed over to the higher-ups to take over. Why did he come back again?

'What on earth is going on...?'

A hint of fear flashed across Z's face, and then:

"Eh-"

Among the Hero Association members, Tatsumaki instinctively shuddered, a chill creeping over her for some unknown reason.

It felt as if I was being watched by a hundred million terrifying killers, with a strange, penetrating sensation from the inside out.

Suppressing her discomfort, Tornado assumed it was her imagination and snorted, "We don't need anyone else at all."

"The only verifiable achievement of the Fang Can you mentioned is killing Tao Baibai, a bronze-level assassin from an underground organization. I can do that too."

"No way!" Suddenly, Z snapped to attention, remembering the events of the last reincarnation, and instinctively interrupted loudly.

Facing the gazes of the heroes and reincarnators present, he immediately said solemnly, "This matter has already exceeded our control. I will report it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) so that the FBI can handle the problem."

"What FBI?" Tornado asked, puzzled. "I've only ever heard of the CIA."

A look of horror crossed Z's face: "How could you not have heard of the FBI? It's the largest anomalous containment agency in North America."

"President, are you mistaken? The CIA is the largest containment organization in North America."

“As for the FBI, I’ve heard of it. It’s just a little-known organization that was merged into the CIA three years ago due to poor management.” A voice rang in Z’s ear; it was from a subordinate of the foundation.

"Merged into the CIA?" Z's pupils constricted sharply. Because that was absolutely impossible.

In his memory, the so-called CIA wasn't even qualified to carry the shoes of the FBI, so how could it possibly be incorporated into the CIA in such a way?
"There's something wrong with this, there's definitely something wrong!"

Z, looking bewildered, glanced at the somewhat lost crowd below the stage and stumbled off the stage, saying:

"You don't need to help with the rest. I'll report it to the organization." Z said this and ran out the door, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

He wasn't sure if his memory was faulty, if the world had really changed, or if this was a brain-in-a-vat illusion targeting him.
But I dare not gamble. Since I have been sent back to the past once again, I will naturally have to report my problems this time.

……

Half an hour later, sitting in the CIA interrogation room, he recounted everything that had happened to him.

"In other words, in the first two timeline changes, Saitama and a super department called the FBI existed, but they both disappeared due to the timeline changes."

The CIA interrogation team looked at Z seriously and repeated his testimony.

“That’s right, the problem definitely lies with Fang Can, and we must eliminate him,” Z said solemnly.
