Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 517 The strongest man on Earth, the 7th ranked S-class hero of the Hero Association—King!

Ivan Reznov was slammed down again, his feet creating a series of sonic booms in mid-air to barely dissipate some of the force, but his hammer-wielding arm was already sore and numb!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle pressed its advantage relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of attacks like a whirlwind!
Its figure flashed continuously in the sky, and each appearance was accompanied by a terrifying attack that shook the heavens and earth!
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

The sky seemed to have transformed into an arena, where two completely different energies, purple and blue, clashed wildly, with deafening roars and energy ripples spreading outwards, further crushing the ruins below into dust!
The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle grew increasingly ferocious in battle, its attacks becoming more and more ruthless. Its scarlet pupils had long since lost all rationality, leaving only the most primal instincts driving this terrifying body born for battle.

Driven by this instinct, every strike it makes is aimed at the vital points. Its movements are completely unpredictable, yet ruthless and cunning to the extreme, making full use of its enormous strength and speed advantage!
In contrast, Ivan Reznov gradually regained his footing after being ambushed by the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!

He showed no fear even when facing the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, whose strength, speed, and defense had all increased dramatically.

Both are at the fifth rank, so why did he avoid its sharp edge?

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle roared, its massive body tearing through the air as a straight punch hurtled toward Ivan Reznov like a meteor!

Wherever the fist passed, the air distorted slightly, emitting a humming sound as if it were under immense pressure!
"Well done!"

Ivan Reznov neither dodged nor evaded. His arms were bulging with muscles and veins, and he twisted his waist, gathering all his strength into one, and fiercely swung Thor's hammer to meet the earth-shattering purple fist!

Hammer against fist! Thunder against force! God against demon!
"clang!!!"

With a deafening roar, a destructive circular shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the two of them!

"Boom!!!"

The earth below was as if it had been plowed once more by an invisible giant plow, with huge cracks spreading for several kilometers!
"boom!"

Ivan Reznov groaned, his body swaying violently as a tearing pain shot through his hammer-wielding arms, but he gritted his teeth and did not retreat an inch!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle isn't having an easy time either!
Its fist was blocked, and the recoil caused its massive body to stagger backward half a step. The flesh covering its fist was blasted apart by the lightning.

But
"Dead! Die! Die!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's scarlet pupils showed no sign of pain; instead, the injury fueled an even more intense and frenzied killing intent!
For it, which has been reduced to a beast driven by instinct, pain is not a weakening agent, but rather the most potent stimulant, stimulating its most primal ferocity!
It showed absolutely no intention of adjusting or taking a breather!
Before its backward stagger had completely stopped, its massive body abruptly stopped as if defying the laws of physics. Then, with an even greater speed than when it was retreating, it pounced on Ivan Reznov, who had just regained his footing!

"Roar!!!"

It unleashed both fists simultaneously, transforming them into a sky full of purple fist shadows that enveloped Ivan like a storm; each punch contained terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas!
"Come and fight!"

He let out a roar and charged forward, swinging Thor's hammer with unstoppable force.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of terrifying impacts, as dense as ten thousand thunderclaps or as loud as a thousand giant bells being struck simultaneously, exploded out continuously!

In the sky, purple fist energy and blue hammer shadows collided wildly at a dazzling speed, each collision unleashing a violent roar.

The two fought from high altitude to low altitude, and then crashed into the ground from low altitude!
The entire ruins of Novagrad became their battlefield.

But just as they were locked in fierce combat, a figure silently appeared in a relatively "intact" corner, barely made up of a few broken walls.

He seemed to have been "dropped" here directly from nothingness, and he was even carrying a shopping bag with the logo of an unknown game store printed on it. The box of a newly released game disc could be vaguely seen inside the bag.

After he stood still, he shook his head slightly, seemingly a little dizzy, and then subconsciously raised his head, looking "calmly" at the scene in the sky that resembled a mythical war.

This is a man whose appearance alone exudes an extreme sense of oppression.

A huge, menacing scar, resembling a centipede, ran diagonally down his right temple, across his brow bone, and down to his left cheek, adding to his already fierce appearance.

His body was large and strong, as if it contained explosive power.

Simply by standing there quietly, he naturally exuded a powerful aura as steady as a mountain and as unfathomable as an abyss, inspiring awe in people as if they were facing an emperor.

If someone familiar with him were around, they would be able to call out his name the moment they saw him.

One-Punch Man World, Hero Association S-Class Rank 7!
King, known as "the strongest man on earth"!

At this moment, King's gaze "calmly" swept over the two figures locked in fierce combat in the sky.

His eyes were calm and indifferent, even carrying an indescribable detachment, as if he were watching two ants fighting over a crumb of bread, completely disregarding the battle that could destroy the city.

However, contrary to the calm and composed expression on his face, King's heart was churning with tension, panic, and fear like a tsunami!

His heart was screaming wildly!

"Where am I?!"

"Didn't I just buy the latest Sengoku BASARA limited edition and walk home?! How did I end up in this place that looks like it's been bombed by missiles eight hundred times?!"

"Who are those hero and monster in the sky? Did they cause this destruction? But with this level of destruction, there couldn't possibly be only one hero here by now, right? Where are the others?"

"Also, why haven't I seen that hero before? That level of strength is definitely at the S-class hero level, but why do I have absolutely no recollection of him?"

"Could it be a newly promoted hero?! But this is too strong!" King exclaimed, marveling at the hero's power.

Although he himself doesn't have much strength, you can still tell just by looking at him.

That hero's strength is in no way inferior to S-class, and he could even rank among the top in S-class, while that monster is definitely at the level of Dragon.

The appearance of such a strange person in the city should have prompted many heroes to come and deal with it. There should not have been only one hero, let alone someone who could destroy a city to this extent.

However, he looked around and saw that this place seemed to have been reduced to ruins long ago.

It's really strange.

"Wait! This isn't the time to think about that! The important thing is, why am I here?!"

"Was this the work of some hero or monster? No wonder they wanted me to fight monsters, right?"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm so close, any shockwave from this place will turn me to ashes! What do I do?! Is it too late to pretend I'm just a passing statue?!"

"Wait a minute, that hero and the monster seem too engrossed in their fight to notice me at all. Great! Should I sneak away now?"

"But...where can we run?! This place is all ruins as far as the eye can see, there's nowhere to hide! And what if we get spotted while we're moving?!"

King appeared calm and composed, not even his fingers trembling as he held the shopping bag. However, his legs, hidden beneath his trousers, were already slightly weak, and a fine layer of cold sweat had seeped from his back.

He could only pray that the two people in the sky wouldn't turn their attention to him.

Unfortunately, reality often shows that the things you least want to happen are the things that happen.

Just as King was praying frantically and trying to blend into the background, the battle in the sky suddenly changed!

"boom!!!"

With a powerful punch from the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, Ivan Reznov was sent flying through the air by the terrifying force.

The direction was perfect, right where King was hiding in the ruins.

"Oh!"

"crash"

Ivan Reznov's body slammed into the ground, instantly shattering several crumbling walls. The enormous impact carved a deep trench in the ground, finally coming to a stop just ten steps away from King.

However, Ivan Reznov was not seriously injured.

Possessing Thor's hammer, he not only has the power to control lightning, but his physical strength has also been enhanced to an extremely terrifying level.

If he were in the body of a second or third-tier superhuman, even wielding Thor's hammer, he wouldn't have been able to fight this long.

He stood up, ready to get back into the fight, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a figure standing quietly in the dust!

"Who?!"

Ivan Reznov was startled. He hadn't expected that there were other people on this battlefield besides himself and Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, and that he hadn't even discovered them yet.

Watching them fight without choosing to leave, are they enemies? Or are they "dimensional beings" who are extremely confident in their own strength?
His gaze instantly locked onto that direction.

But when they saw that face with its hideous scars and imposing presence, they couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"King?! What are you doing here?!"

"It's over!"

The moment Ivan Reznov's gaze swept over him, King's heart skipped a beat, and when he heard the other man call out his name accurately, he felt a wave of dizziness.

Once again! It happened again!

He let out a silent wail in his heart, and once again began to hate the Hero Association's exaggerated propaganda. The title of "the strongest man on earth" made him known to almost all citizens and heroes.

Even eccentric people are like that.

In this situation, if we get caught, isn't it all over?

He's fighting Dragon-level opponents?

What's the difference between this and taking his life?
Despite his inner turmoil, King's angular, scarred face remained completely expressionless!

He didn't even look at Ivan Reznov's incredulous gaze, but simply turned his head slightly, "calmly" glanced at him with his deep, ancient eyes, and then nodded slightly, as if to signal to him.
