In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 512 The Final Battle with Boros!
Tornado has a strong offensive capability, enough to suppress Boros's power to a certain extent, and also has the ability to break through Boros's defense and cause damage to him.

In most cases, her superpowers are quite comprehensive.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Boros.

This incredible individual truly possesses the ability to withstand Tatsumaki's psychic attacks, rush in front of Tatsumaki, and shatter her psychic shield with a single punch, threatening Tatsumaki's main body.

While Tornado's physical strength is decent thanks to the subtle enhancements from her superpowers, it's still far inferior to those tanky S-class heroes. In front of Boros, she's incredibly fragile; if she were to take a direct hit, she definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it!

The task of stopping Boros in close combat falls to Shimizu!

However, the battle with Boros consumed his energy much faster than Shimizu had anticipated.

Because Shimizu will get injured when facing Boros's attack!

He also had to use more energy to recover from his injuries.

Even with high-energy replenishment, it still couldn't keep up with the consumption.

This battle was undoubtedly the most difficult one that Shimizu's incarnation had faced since arriving in the One-Punch Man world.

Even with the combined suppression of Tornado's psychic powers and Shimizu's Reversal of Eight Directions, the opponent's strength and speed still managed to overpower Shimizu.

"boom!"

This time, it was Shimizu's turn to be punched away by Boros, crashing deeper into the spaceship.

Tornado's eyes flashed with green light, and veins bulged on her forehead as she unleashed her full superpower to bind Boros.

She can inflict damage on Boros, but he can recover instantly and even withstand her superpowers to launch a direct attack.

With Shimizu temporarily knocked away, Tornado had no choice but to switch from offense to defense to block Boros's breakthrough.

The latter felt the oppressive force coming from all directions, capable of easily crushing a Dragon-level monster into dust in an instant and binding a peak Dragon-level monster to the point of immobility. He grinned, the blue stripes on his body becoming even more dazzling, and then slowly raised his leg and took a step forward.

The next step is the second step.

In less than two seconds, Boros was propelled forward again under the pressure of Tornado's superpowers.

Even though its speed has increased considerably, it still possesses an unstoppable sharpness.

"Sky-Piercing Thunder Cannon!"

Inside the Black Knight armor, the three energy cores—the Scorching Core, the Lightning Core, and the Dragon Roar Core—shone brightly, channeling their energy to the cannons in front of his chest.

The thick, azure energy cannon, carrying an aura of destruction, slammed into Boros instantly. Then, it pierced through most of the spaceship, pushing Boros onto the other side of the deck before finally stopping.

It wasn't because they ran out of energy, but because Boros had activated his third stage, causing his strength to surge and allowing him to block the attack.

A domineering and arrogant laugh rang out, and Boros's body floated in mid-air, radiating a strong energy aura that blocked Qing Shui's attack. His entire body also changed from blue to pink.

The injuries that had just appeared on his body, which could be described as serious, were also healed in an instant.

"You have satisfied me! It seems the prophecy was right. You have forced me to unleash my Meteor Explosion form. In this state, I will sacrifice a portion of my lifespan to gain even greater power and the ability to destroy an entire planet."

I hope you can bring me more surprises in the future! Otherwise, I'll be very disappointed if the battle ends like this.

A terrifying aura emanated from Boros in mid-air, extinguishing even the flames that had ignited on the spaceship due to the aftershocks of the battle.

Shimizu's face immediately darkened.

Play with a hammer!

In this state, Boros could send Saitama to the moon with a single blow. Shimizu couldn't guarantee how many hits he and Tatsumaki could withstand.

Even in the second phase alone, he and Tornado struggled to resist each other and he even fell into a disadvantageous position.

Even now, with energy cores like the pyrometallurgical core, Shimizu has no confidence.

Damn it, why isn't Saitama here yet?
On the outskirts of City A.

A bald man with a shiny bald head looked up at the spaceship in the sky, examining it curiously.

"Come on! Please me in battle!"

Boros grinned, gathered his energy, and charged towards the clear water.

A surge of superpowers erupted, and a stream of blood flowed from Tornado's nostrils as she pushed herself to her limits, suppressing Boros.

Beside him, the energy emanating from Shimizu was so strong it was overflowing, with streaks of gold and blue arcs of electricity flashing, and the cannon muzzle on his chest lit up again.

"Super Sky-Piercing Thunder Lightning Cannon!"

boom!
This lightning beam cannon is powerful enough to pierce through the continent!
Boros's pink light shone even brighter, and explosive energy gathered in his fist. Then, withstanding the pressure of Tornado's superpowers, he clashed with Shimizu's Sky-Piercing Lightning Cannon.

That punch is enough to send a person to the moon!

But Boros is more than just one punch!
He attacked with both hands, punching relentlessly, managing to move forward despite the onslaught of Qing Shui's attacks with his bare fists.

Beneath the black mask of the Black Knight, Shimizu hurriedly swallowed high-energy capsules, rapidly restoring his body's energy.

The energy in energy cores such as pyrometallurgical cores is also dropping at a rapid rate.

While Boros in his second stage was very strong, he could hold his own against Tatsumaki when they teamed up. However, Boros in his third stage was far too powerful.

At this rate, he and Tornado won't last more than a few minutes.

Where's Saitama? Why hasn't he arrived yet?
If all else fails, we can use explosives!

On the deck of the spaceship.

"Spiral Incineration Cannon!"

The intense, reddish-brown energy pierced through the ground.

Genos flew out first.

The rest of the S-class heroes followed suit and jumped out.

They all sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations here and rushed over to help.

They were all taken aback by the commotion.

Most S-class heroes are aware of Tatsumaki's strength; she possesses power that surpasses almost all S-class heroes, and can easily crush even the most powerful Dragon-level monsters.

As for Shimizu, they hadn't expected her to be so strong; she seemed almost as powerful as Tatsumaki.

Even with two such powerful beings working together, they were still suppressed to this extent.

"Find a way to help! Black Lightning can't sustain an attack of this magnitude!"

Genos looked at the battle scene on the battlefield and spoke, his body also lighting up with blue arcs of electricity.

"Although Little Tornado is strong, it seems that she can't maintain this level of output for long."

Bang looked at Tatsumaki in the distance, whose nose was bleeding profusely from overusing her superpowers, and his expression was serious. "Child Emperor and I will feign an attack to hold her back. Darkshine, Zombieman, and Pig God will handle the frontal interception. Atomic Samurai, Silver Fang, and the cyborg will lead the attack. The rest of you, prepare to provide support."

Seeing the difficulty that Shimizu and Tornado were struggling to maintain their positions, Flash Flash immediately spoke up and gave instructions.

He didn't go into too much detail because these people didn't have much tacit understanding, but they were all seasoned veterans and knew what the right thing to do was.

The others didn't mind, and deliberately caused trouble and refused to obey orders.

Just fight!

"Pencil Missile!"

A bullet the size of a pencil flew out of Child Emperor's pencil case and exploded next to Boros.

If it were an ordinary Demon-level monster, it would have been severely injured by now. Even a weaker Dragon-level monster would have been affected. But Boros was completely unscathed, without even a scratch.

His self-healing ability is very strong, but in reality, he doesn't need to use it most of the time.

Ordinary Dragon-level monsters don't even have the ability to break through his defenses.

The pencil missiles were merely used for cover; the flashes and smoke from their explosions facilitated subsequent attacks.

The flash of light was concealed, and Flays, wielding a rapier, enveloped Boros, his figure shifting unpredictably.

Boros frowned, looking at the sword marks that appeared on his body like scraping, and withdrew his other hand, leaving only his right arm bent to the side of his head to block Qing Shui's attack. He then slapped Flashy Flash like swatting a fly.

The latter was startled and narrowly avoided the attack.

Pig God and Bang rushed forward and together barely managed to stop Boros's attack.

Bang's Water Stream Rock Smash Fist is best suited for defense, and he can withstand several blows from Garou in his monster form. Pig God, with his thick layer of fat and powerful physique, also has strong deflection and defensive capabilities.

At the same time, a spiral incineration cannon charged toward Boros, and Atomic Samurai, wielding a long sword, instantly unleashed an atomic slash.

Further away, S-class heroes such as Superalloy Darkshine and Metal Bat were also rushing towards Boros.

Flashy Flash's operational plan was forced to a halt shortly after it began.

Boros is very strong, which these S-class heroes can see. But once they start fighting Boros, they realize firsthand just how terrifying he is. Their previous battle plan wasn't unreasonable, but it didn't work very well. It would have been more effective for them to fight individually and use their own strengths.

Shimizu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she still couldn't put her mind at ease.

With these S-class heroes joining the battle, the pressure on him and Tatsumaki was somewhat relieved.

However, none of these S-class heroes were strong enough to reach the level of a dragon or higher, so they couldn't change the situation at all...

wrong!

It seems like it might actually be possible!

"Damn, this pink-skinned weirdo is really good at fighting, but when it comes to momentum, I won't lose to anyone!"

The metal bat was covered in blood and had multiple fractures, but its eyes grew brighter and its aura continued to rise.

If he were to face Boros directly, Metal Bat, who is normally only at the Demon level, would be instantly killed.

However, the battles with Boros's numerous other monsters on the spaceship had already elevated Metal Bat's aura, giving him strength equivalent to a high-level Dragon.

Now, in cooperation with a group of S-class heroes, and after exchanging a few blows with Boros, Metal Bat's momentum has surged again, reaching a level equivalent to the peak of the Dragon realm, and even showing signs of advancing towards the level above Dragon!

"Momentum. Wrathful Blade Critical Strike!"

Boros was somewhat surprised that he had to devote some of his energy to defending against the metal bat's attack.

In his view, the other S-class heroes were at most on par with the three top-tier combatants under his command.

After activating the third phase, he didn't take it to heart, because he also realized that Shimizu and Tornado couldn't maintain their full output for very long.

Although Boros's use of this form has a time limit and will shorten his lifespan, he can still fight for a long time if he wants, given the energy reserves in his body.

Therefore, Boros believed that if this battle continued to the end, he would be the only winner.

But now...

"Ultimate Kill - The Great Spiral of Buddhist Shame and Morality!"

Metal Bat's momentum continued to rise, and the attack it unleashed had reached the same level as Shimizu and Tatsumaki.

Three warriors with the strength of dragons or above joined forces and actually fought Boros to a standstill!
When facing a powerful enemy like Boros, the other S-class heroes can only barely play a supporting role and restrain him. Even weaker heroes like Tank Top Master and Sexy Prisoner don't have the ability to break through Boros's defenses, let alone restrain him.

Even if others can break through the defense, only a few S-class heroes like Atomic Samurai and Genos can deal effective damage, and once they get hit, they're basically done for.

Not everyone is like a metal baseball bat, where the more severe the injury, the higher the defense and attack.

Soon, only Boros, Shimizu, Tornado, and Metal Bat remained standing on the battlefield.

The remaining S-class heroes were mostly seriously injured. They were escorted off the spaceship by Superalloy Darkshine and Pig God, who were still barely able to move, as well as Zombieman with super self-healing abilities, to receive treatment.

By now, this giant spaceship, whose base area alone is equivalent to the entire city of A, has been damaged by more than two-thirds and could fall from the sky at any moment.

Therefore, the Hero Association has urgently evacuated everyone.

These S-class heroes, in order to improve quality, also have to withdraw from City A.

But as they were leaving, they saw a bald man with a shiny bald head.

"Genos? How did you end up being turned into a piece of performance art?"

Saitama looked at Genos, whose hands were no longer hands, whose legs were no longer legs, whose body was only half a body, and who was occasionally crackling with electricity.

"Saitama-sensei?! You've finally arrived!"

Genos exclaimed to Saitama with delight.

"Let's get back! Bro, the battle up there is beyond the reach of ordinary heroes."

Upon seeing Saitama's attire, the zombie man immediately spoke.

"No! If Saitama-sensei intervenes, he can definitely defeat the enemy!"

Genos resolutely blocked the railway.

“Let him go! Saitama’s power is far greater than we imagine, even I am far inferior to him. If he goes, he might really be able to help.”

Bang, who was being held in Pig God's arm, saw Saitama and immediately spoke up.

He witnessed firsthand how Saitama shattered the massive meteorite capable of destroying Z-City with a single punch, and knew just how terrifying Saitama's strength was.

Seeing that Bang and Genos, two S-class heroes, acknowledged Saitama's strength, Zombieman stopped trying to dissuade him. He simply memorized Saitama's appearance and then opened the way, continuing his retreat out of City A.
