A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

"Hey hey hey, what a restless thing."

A blur appeared in the sky, and a black figure dressed in the same War God outfit as the fishmonger Qiang appeared in the air. Upon seeing the devastated city, he frowned.

(ー`?ー)

The "Centipede Elder," who was indulging in his morning grumpiness, paused, suddenly feeling as if he were being targeted by a natural enemy.

When it turned its head to look at the sky, it suddenly realized that its thinking was getting slower and slower, until it froze and stopped!

Snapped--

The snap of his fingers echoed throughout the universe. The War God's shadow clone lowered his hand, his gaze as cold as an unyielding polar glacier.

With the snap of the fingers, not only the giant worm, which was over 10,000 meters long, was frozen, but the entire world's spacetime was also frozen in that moment.

Rice Tassica Beans —

"Zawarudo!!"

……

City Z.

"Huh, that's weird..."

Saitama stared at the suddenly frozen world before him, then instinctively looked at Johnson, one of the only two people present who could move: "Johnson, what have you done now?"

"...I didn't do anything!"

Upon seeing Saitama's distrustful gaze, Qiao Sen's lips twitched involuntarily.

—What does it have to do with me, Qiao, if it was done by a shadow clone?

"A giant monster appeared in City S and instantly destroyed half of the city."

Qiao Sen had already learned about what happened in S City through "Mind Network," so he briefly explained it to Saitama.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

Upon hearing this, Saitama immediately jumped towards S City. Judging from his serious and tense posture, he wouldn't stop until he jumped out of the ozone layer.

—Hey, here's a joke: Bald heads can't fly.

"Ouch!"

Saitama, who was preparing to take off, was pulled back by Johnson grabbing the hem of his cloak. The fact that it could withstand the pull of two "bald-class" fighters wasn't because the cloak was made of anything special, but rather...

"Bio-force field," Johnson used "Bio-force field"!!

＜(￣︶￣)＞

(To those of you reading this: Alright, we all know you're already a superman, handsome!)

"Josen, what are you doing!" Saitama grabbed the cloak and looked at it with concern, then glared at it sideways to express his displeasure. "You were pulling so hard, you almost tore the cloak to shreds! I just changed it a few days ago."

“It’s not broken! Don’t worry,” Johnson shrugged, gesturing to Saitama to calm down. “Time is frozen now, so the monster can’t cause any more damage.”

"Oh."

Saitama nodded knowingly, then the scene suddenly changed to a simplified Chinese drawing of a hairy, dead-eyed, hard-boiled egg: "You still say you didn't do it!"

Johnson: "..."

"Ahem, that's not important!" Johnson put his arm around Saitama's shoulder and used his foolproof method of changing the subject, saying, "What's important is that I have information on the monster! As far as I know, that monster isn't alone; there might be an entire organization behind him!"

"Huh..." Saitama's eyes twitched, his face full of disbelief. "No way, monsters have organizations too?"

Johnson nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Of course, the Hero Association is so powerful now, if monsters want to fight against it, they have to form alliances and organizations, right?"

"In my opinion, to rival the 'Hero Association,' their organization should be called the 'Monster Association'!"

"Is that so? The Monster Association..."

Saitama thought for a moment, unaware that the conversation between the two had been successfully steered off course by Johnson, and even looked convinced, saying, "...Okay, it seems to make a lot of sense."

With his current strength, any monster who can withstand a punch from him is already an elite among elites. Thinking is too troublesome; it's much simpler to use his fists.

Superman: Ah, right, right! He makes a lot of sense, don't you think, Batmanghelidj?

An anonymous Batman: ...You have big pecs, you're right about everything!

As he spoke, Qiao Sen looked down at the ground of Z City beneath his feet.

The thick layers of soil and rock vanished in his eyes until he reached the dark underground, more than 1500 meters below the surface.

A voluptuous woman with long, flowing hair and black stockings, wearing black-rimmed glasses, is mixing a tube of a obviously problematic, iridescent solution in a well-equipped artificial basement. Her face is frozen in an abnormal, maniacal smile.

It's the kind of drink that would kill an average person.

Behind her, a humanoid monster with snake-like hair was bound to an experimental bed. Judging from its distorted face, it was enduring extreme pain that was unbearable for ordinary people.

At first glance, it's not obvious, but you can still recognize it from the details. This is an artificial monster above the Dragon Peak level, closest to godhood—

King Serpent!!

"Hmph, Sykes..."

Qiao Sen withdrew his gaze, sneered, and said, "Originally, I was going to let you stay quietly underground like a rat for a few more days, but now it seems there's no need for that."

"Hey, Johnson, who are you talking to?"

Saitama followed Johnson's gaze and saw only grass and a few small insects foraging in the soil.

Qiao Sen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a little bug. Let's go deal with the big one in S City first."

Saitama nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

Snapped--

With another snap of the fingers, the souls of those who perished in the Dragon-level calamity in City S were enveloped in the infinite power of green and returned from the flow of time.

The War God's shadow clone in the sky watched helplessly as the fates of hundreds of thousands of people were rewritten by the will of the main body in an instant, and pressed down the brim of its hat.

"Wow, that's really capricious."

Even so, with a cold turn, he released boundless power that enveloped hundreds of thousands of citizens who were about to be reborn and transferred them away.

S City is still not safe. We'll wait until the main body comes and completely eliminates the monsters before transferring them back and filling in the gaps in our memories.

Time flow returns to normal.

Elder Centipede's vision blurred for a moment, then he shook his head in confusion.

The world seemed unchanged, and the dark shadow in the sky that had sent a shiver down its spine had inexplicably vanished.

"Elder Centipede": ? ? ?

—What happened?

(?_??)

Chapter 432 S-Rank Training Class, Deployed!

The deadly sense of threat vanished into thin air. "Elder Centipede" shook his head, assuming that his mental stagnation was just his imagination.

After all, I woke up too quickly and wasn't completely sleepy yet.

(~O~)

The next moment, the eerie human face on the giant insect's head emitted a series of piercing, sharp laughs at the Soul Palace level, and continued to burrow into the city's underground to wreak havoc, unaware that the place it had passed through was now deserted.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

……

City Z.

Before the trainees' eyes, "Super Cop" and "Hairless Cape Man," who had been sitting in the instructors' seats, appeared directly in front of the group.

"Everyone."

Qiao Sen raised his hand and pressed down, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to where he and Saitama were.

"S City is under attack by a giant monster, it's basically confirmed, and the disaster level has reached 'Dragon Level'!" Johnson looked around and saw pairs of resolute eyes. "Is there anyone willing to join us in defeating this monster?"

"I go."

"I am coming too!"

"..."

Without any hesitation, almost everyone responded at the same time.

They were all professional heroes, and they had just spent a whole month training in Z City.

As any single guy like Daniel Wu knows, holding things in for too long can easily lead to trouble...

┑( ?▽? )┍

Now that they've heard that a Dragon-level monster is wreaking havoc in S City, everyone's eyes are green with envy!

Kill monsters and steal academic credits!

Dragon level?

I'm going to fight Dragon-level monsters!!
