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

Chapter 514 Saitama's Advancement to S-Class, Explosive Spatial Ability
As for Shimizu, in Blast's perception, although she was also very strong, she was not much different from Tornado, but she had a somewhat similar feeling.

He should also have strong spatial abilities, and he is someone who is truly on the right track in this field.

"It's Saitama. As for these three, they also forced me to use my full strength."

Although Boros was weak, his gaze toward Saitama was filled with fighting spirit.

He knew he was no match for Saitama, but it was precisely because of this that he realized there was still a road ahead! And that he could become even stronger!
"I see. Tornado, please introduce these people to me."

Blast looked at Tornado and said.

After a short rest, Tornado has regained some of her strength and is no longer in a state where she might collapse at any moment; she has regained some vitality.

"This freak is Shimizu, the tenth-ranked S-class Black Lightning. The one lying on the ground is Bard, the seventeenth-ranked S-class Metal Bat. As for this bald guy named Saitama... I don't recognize him."

"If any of you are interested in joining my team, you are welcome to do so at any time. If you do not join, I hope to ask you to lend a hand at a critical moment, because the existence of gods is always a threat to the entire world."

With a calm expression, he addressed the group.

Saitama scratched his head.

"Um...that sounds like a lot of trouble, but if there really is any powerful weirdo, you can call me."

"Me too, but this guy... he just wanted to destroy the Earth, are you really going to let him off so easily?"

Shimizu pointed at Boros.

Blast said:
"Let him atone for his sins with good deeds."

Shimizu immediately pulled Saitama aside, whispered something to him, and thoughtfully used his Wind Release to disrupt the airflow around them, preventing their voices from being heard.

"Oh, is this how it's supposed to be? It feels a bit..."

"It's okay, no one loses anything by doing this, and no one can say anything bad about us. Don't forget what I told you before, S-class heroes receive a monthly subsidy in kind. Remember the refrigerator full of premium beef I gave you last time?"

"This……"

"what happened?"

"If I were to ask for it myself, wouldn't it seem shameless? I'm hesitant to ask."

"What's the big deal? I'll just say it!"

Shimizu waved his hand, dispelling the wind jutsu that blocked sound transmission, and then said to Blast:
"Well, we have two small conditions, or rather, requests, that we hope you can agree to in exchange for Boros. After all, he was defeated by Saitama. Cough cough, of course, the roles played by me, Tatsumaki, and Metal Bat in this process cannot be ignored, so..."

“It’s not an unreasonable request, of course you can make it.”

The explosion was carried out steadily.

"Of course not. For you, you only need to say a few words to two people."

Shimizu chuckled and stated his and Saitama's requests.

"can."

After hearing this, Blast agreed without hesitation.

This is reasonable, and it's a good thing. It doesn't take much effort, so of course he wouldn't refuse.

Therefore, the top-ranked S-class player turned his attention to Boros:

"Now, it all comes down to your attitude. I have a way to heal your injuries, and in another dimension, you can fight against even more powerful god-level beings under the command of the gods. Many of them are even troublesome for me. There, you can at least fight to your heart's content and have the possibility of continuing to improve."

His team included a Boros from a parallel universe, so he naturally knew how to persuade Boros to agree.

"I promise."

Boros agreed without hesitation.

As long as he could live, and even fight against a more powerful being, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

The following day, the alien attack officially ended.

This time, Boros truly appeared before the heroes of the association and crushed most of the S-class heroes.

After consulting with all S-class heroes, and especially considering the opinions of Blast, Tornado, and Shimizu, the Hero Association officially defined this disaster as God-level, rather than "Dragon-level or above".

As for Metal Bat, he is currently in a coma, receiving intravenous fluids in a hospital in D City, and will likely need another day or two to wake up.

The scale of this disaster is beyond what a dragon-level disaster could possibly cause.

Based on the unanimous affirmation from Shimizu, Tatsumaki, and Blast, who briefly appeared at the association headquarters, this monster possesses the terrifying power to destroy the entire Earth, thus earning a god-level rating.

Secondly, there is a ranking of S-class heroes.

The association gained a general understanding of the overall battle process through the accounts of the heroes.

On the spaceship, Genos, as a newly promoted S-class hero, performed exceptionally well.

With the maximum energy core capacity of 70%, he can reliably unleash destructive power that almost exceeds the peak of Dragon-level. Ordinary Dragon-level monsters are easily defeated by the Super Spiral Incineration Cannon, and even high-level Dragon-level monsters are no match for him.

Therefore, Genos went from being ranked nineteenth among the newcomers to fourteenth place.

Metal Bat is actually a newcomer. The one who was promoted to S-class before Shimizu was Sexy Prisoner, who was promoted a month earlier than Shimizu. Two months before Sexy Prisoner, Metal Bat had actually been promoted to S-class.

Because of his relatively short experience and the limited number of monsters he has fought that are of Demon level or higher, Metal Bat's hero ranking was only one place higher than Sexy Prisoner and lower than Tanktop Master, ranking only seventeenth.

In this incident, Bat briefly unleashed power exceeding that of a Dragon in the final moments, playing a crucial role in the fight against the God-level monster, and thus was promoted to tenth place.

The original tenth place was Shimizu, who demonstrated overall strength comparable to Tatsumaki in this incident, and rose to fifth place, overtaking Child Emperor.

The heroes ahead of them, such as Blast, Tornado, Bang, and Atomic Samurai, have all been with the Hero Association for a long time, joining almost as soon as it appeared. Before any other God-level or Dragon-level disasters appear, Shimizu may have to wait another year or two to deal with more disasters before he can climb into the top three.

As for Saitama... With the unanimous recommendation of five S-class heroes—Shimizu, Tatsumaki, Blast, Genos, and Bang—and considering his important role in this God-level disaster, the association's higher-ups finally promoted this seemingly insignificant B-class hero, ranked sixty-third, to S-class, making him the last S-class hero, or twentieth.

The association actually underestimated Saitama's strength and the role he played in this battle. They believed that in the previous battles, Shimizu and Tatsumaki, as the main force, first exhausted a lot of the enemy's stamina, and then, with the assistance of Metal Bat and a group of S-class heroes, they further exhausted the enemy. Finally, when Shimizu and the others were about to give up, Saitama defeated the monster.

Therefore, the association does not regard Saitama as a being above God who can defeat a God-level monster with one punch, nor does it regard Saitama as a God-level powerhouse. Instead, it regards him as a powerhouse above Dragon level, like Tatsumaki and Shimizu.

However, compared to the original timeline, Saitama now receives far more recognition.

In the original timeline, even after the Monster Association incident and the Garou incident, Saitama had only just been promoted to the last rank of A-class, a ranking that put him at the same level as Snakebite Snake.

Promoting Saitama to S-class was one of the two small requests that Shimizu agreed to with Blast.

As for the other one...

On a lonely reef island in the middle of the ocean.

A bright blue spark flashed, opening a teleportation circle.

Shimizu took the lead and walked out first, followed closely by Blast.

"The way you opened the portal was a little complicated."

Blast turned around, examining the teleportation portal that Shimizu had opened. Then, he gently tapped the other side behind him, opening another teleportation portal.

Unlike the clear water teleportation aperture that allows you to clearly see what's behind it, the inside of the exploded teleportation portal is a colorful black.

With a deep black background, endless colorful light flows within it, giving it a mysterious appearance.

"Space is very complex, but if it is just displacement and teleportation within the same dimension and the same large space, it is actually very simple. Think of the two locations as the two ends of a bridge, and the teleportation gate as the bridge. When you pass through the teleportation gate, you are walking on the bridge."

Within the same dimension, within a stable and precise spacetime, the distance between any two spatial points is fixed, and they can all be connected by a straight line. This straight line itself exists and is an innate bridge, so we do not need to build a new bridge during the transmission process.

Instead of doing what you did, where there's already an existing bridge, you still spend time doing unnecessary work to build a new one.

As he spoke, Blast opened several more portals, inviting Shimizu to enter them and experience them.

However, the time spent passing through the portal is often just a moment, so the experience isn't very good.

However, the series of in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanations of blasting techniques provided him with considerable assistance.

In the field of space exploration, blasting was indeed ahead of him, and far more advanced.

Shimizu has truly embarked on this path and has conducted considerable research, but his blasting techniques are more comprehensive, in-depth, and systematic.

The former is like someone who has finished learning all the content of elementary mathematics and is using the knowledge from the previous lessons to deduce the content of advanced mathematics step by step, while the latter is like someone who has already learned advanced mathematics to the point of being able to get high scores, and with the background of Shimizu, is just right to understand and learn it.

Many processes that require a long time and a lot of calculations in elementary mathematics can be directly calculated in a few steps using a formula derived from a theorem or rule in advanced mathematics.

The most typical example is L'Hôpital's rule.

A few hours later.

"I see, doing it this way definitely saves a lot of trouble."

Shimizu reached out and tapped the void, opening a portal that looked similar to the Explosion, greatly reducing the casting animation.

Previously, he relied on his own high values, namely strong mental strength and high-quality energy, to speed up the pre-cast animation of opening the teleportation aperture.

With this explosive method, as long as the end of the teleportation location can be accurately located, it is basically instantaneous. With a thought, the teleportation gate can be opened, and energy consumption can be greatly reduced during the casting process.

Explosives continued to instruct:
"If you are confident enough in your control, you can also try to open a portal directly inside your body. The outline of the portal is the outline of your whole body, or even larger, as long as it can cover your whole body. This way you can teleport directly. In battle, this kind of teleportation, where the enemy cannot predict the landing point and there is no obvious movement, can be very effective in many situations."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shimizu began to put his ideas into practice.

A bright blue light flashed, and Qing Shui's figure appeared beside Zha Po in the blink of an eye.

"It really works quite well."

Qingshui spoke.

While both involve teleportation, the explosive method is far more difficult to defend against than the Flying Thunder God Technique, which requires a mark to locate spatial coordinates.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Flying Thunder God Technique is useless.

Within its perception range of two to three kilometers, Qing Shui can accurately locate any spatial coordinate within that range and teleport at will.

Beyond this distance, perception becomes more difficult, and the difficulty of teleportation increases with distance. However, using the Flying Thunder God Mark and his own blood, Shimizu can still be assisted in spatial positioning.

Otherwise, one would have to rely on instruments and equipment, or forcibly use one's own mental calculation power to deduce it.

Shimizu estimated that the tactical goggles worn by the demolition expert, as well as the high-tech armor he was wearing, served this purpose.

Then, the blaster continued:
"Of course, this doesn't mean that your previous bridging method was useless. Although it seemed redundant, I actually found the bridging process to be quite ingenious, even insightful, and I found it quite rewarding."

"Oh? So, this method of bridging can be used between reality and other dimensions, or even between different worlds?"

Upon hearing the mention of explosives, Shimizu immediately understood.

His teleportation aura was learned from Kamar-Tekki, whose magic originated from Vishanti, a multiverse deity who is considered extremely powerful in the Marvel Universe.

The spatial magic passed down from him may be complex, but even after being simplified like this, it can still achieve spatial displacement, and even instantaneous teleportation, but it is definitely advanced.

In theory, as long as the energy level is high enough, like the mages of Kamar-Tekki who directly pay a price to invoke the power of the Vishanti, it is even possible to directly open a teleportation aperture connecting different worlds and dimensions.

Generally, when there are demons or something from various hells, the mages of Kamar-Tekki often simply use this teleportation ring to banish them back.

In the past, Shimizu's own energy level was not high enough, and his understanding of space was not deep enough, so he could only imitate what others did. But now, both his own energy intensity and his mastery of space have reached the required level.

After this brief glimpse into the explosion, the mystery within it becomes quite apparent.
