A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Johnson called over the portly hotel manager with a small mustache and instructed him to provide unlimited food and wine.

Me, "Super Cop," I'm not short of money!

The chubby manager, with his endearingly simple-minded appearance, turned his eyes into a wide grin and, with his big belly bouncing around, happily went off to carry out his orders.

Unfortunately, when Johnson came to make the reservation, Johnson recognized that the person was an S-class hero. The person did not show that arrogant and snobbish attitude, which made Johnson feel that something was missing.

┑(￣ω ￣)┍

Meanwhile, in City S, the power of the snap once again takes hold.

A seven-colored, infinite power swept across the city, and the hundreds of thousands of citizens who had been collectively transferred by the War God's shadow clone returned to their respective places.

When it appeared out of thin air, the blood-red phantom of the "Rinne Sharingan" appeared in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, before disappearing after a moment.

As the citizens came to their senses, they looked at their devastated homes and wept bitterly.

At this point, the fact that there were no casualties is probably a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

The surviving citizens cursed the giant centipede monster that was destroying the city, while at the same time giving thanks to the balding hero in the red and yellow uniform who stepped forward and punched the giant monster to death.

Clearly, everyone's memory of this disaster has been rewritten.

In their memories, a group of heroes arrived and wiped out the giant insect family that was wreaking havoc in the city. The leader was that seemingly rustic but actually exceptionally reliable middle-aged hero.

"The Hair Loss Cape Hero"!

Chapter 439 Shocking Explosion 100 Years

With Johnson's current abilities, he could easily restore the city to its pre-disaster state, just like the dragon next door.

However, he does not intend to meddle in this matter, firstly because it would amplify the Hero Association's and even humanity's dependence on him, and secondly because it would render the efforts of other heroes worthless.

Of course, Johnson didn't do nothing.

He contacted Dr. Genus, who had not yet appeared, as early as when the disaster occurred. Later, the clone staff of the House of Evolution Foundation and the Hero Association would naturally liaise with each other to take charge of the specific aftermath and the city's post-disaster reconstruction.

Humanity needs to retain the traumatic memories of disasters, which will make the survivors more resilient. Only in this way can civilization survive in a world where monsters are getting stronger and stronger.

……

S City Hero Association Branch.

A crimson hue also appeared in the eyes of all the association staff present. When the Sharingan genjutsu effect, enhanced by infinite power, disappeared, they all marveled at the video footage playing on a loop on the big screen.

The video features battle scenes shot from various angles, including the explosive battle between "Earth's Strongest" and "Cyborg" alongside "Devil Cyborg" and "Atomic Samurai" against "Elder Centipede," the battle scene of a group of heroes besieging two other centipede monsters, and the shocking scene of Saitama smashing a 10,000-meter-tall monster with a single punch. All of these scenes are fully recorded.

What's truly remarkable is that this video not only boasts clear image quality and stable camera work, but also masterful camera movement and character portrayal, capturing both the exhilarating passion of a group of heroes and the boldness and domineering presence of a powerful solo opponent.

Many cadres at the S City branch felt that if they gave these materials to their colleagues in the technical department to process, they could produce a blockbuster superhero movie without much editing. Even they themselves wanted to buy tickets to see it in the cinema.

Although I don't know why my memories of the past are a bit blurry, for the association staff, the fact that the monster has been defeated is ultimately a good thing!

With a "glug," the head of the S City branch's operations room clicked his tongue in astonishment, "This... isn't the 'Hairless Cloak Hero's' strength a bit too exaggerated?"

“Hmm,” the S City branch manager, who was wiping his sweat, nodded. “After all, they are S-class heroes certified by headquarters. These people are top-level experts who cannot be judged by ordinary standards, so it is reasonable for them to have such a record.”

The head of the S City branch's operations room pushed up his glasses and guessed, "Minister, could it be... that the S-class officers who attacked earlier significantly weakened the monster's strength, allowing him to deliver the final decisive blow?"

"..."

The branch manager turned his head expressionlessly, and the look of concern he gave the self-righteous branch cadre made him feel a chill run down his spine!

"Minister, Minister..."

"Kishida-kun," the branch manager patted his subordinate's shoulder with a kind smile, "do you know how many people headquarters fired because some of their members responded to online criticisms of 'Hairless Cloak Man'? Some people and some things are not your concern, understand?"

"Uh, yes, I understand!!"

"Hmph..." The branch commander glared at his self-righteous subordinate, then ordered, "Pack up all the on-site video footage and submit it to headquarters along with the combat report. Don't miss any hero's achievements! Also, release the news about the disaster relief efforts to the public. Hold a press conference in fifteen minutes. Now, get to work!"

“Yes!!”×N

S City, amidst ruins.

The ravaged ground suddenly twisted and deformed along with the space. The next moment, a small black hole with a dazzling light band suddenly appeared, and a handsome, weathered man wearing the same combat suit as Android 16 from next door, looking battered and bruised, poked his head out from it.

Upon seeing the peaceful city where the battle had ended, "Blast" blinked blankly, still looking adorably dazed even with his dark tactical sunglasses on.

"……Um?"

Real explosion

false explosion

This scene attracted curious glances from many nearby citizens.

"Huh...who is this person?"

"I don't know, but he's probably a superpowered person!"

"Could this design be that of a pro hero?"

"I've never seen it, have you?"

"I don't know, it's probably one of those third-rate characters with no popularity!"

"That's right, that's right, 'Hair-Lobed Hero' is the best!!"

"..."

"blasting":"……"

As the number one person in the One-Punch Man world to fight against gods, "Blast" has top-tier attributes in all aspects, and his hearing is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people.

He heard every word of the chatter among the citizens, which made his eyes twitch.

—Even though I don't usually appear in public, but... this look, this aura, and this appearance, how could I possibly be what you call "third-rate stuff"?

(??_?)？

After a moment of silence, "Explosion" scanned his surroundings with a serious expression.

The city was a wasteland, with traces of strange people's destruction everywhere.

Strangely, the citizens above the ruins seemed to be too densely packed, and apart from being covered in dust, they showed no signs of injury.

It seemed that no rescue was needed for the time being, and "Explosion" breathed a sigh of relief.

While searching for the black box, he received a distress call from the Hero Association, saying that a city had been attacked by a super-sized dragon-level giant insect monster called "Elder Centipede," so he immediately teleported to provide assistance.

However, the current situation and the intelligence seem to be quite different.

He then suppressed his doubts and casually stopped a passing citizen to ask, "Excuse me, could you tell me which direction the strange man who attacked S City left in?"

"leave?"

The citizen looked up at the tall and imposing-looking man with a strange expression, and was stunned for a moment.

The look in his eyes confirmed that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

He swallowed back the words of contempt that were on the tip of his tongue, and pointed in a certain direction, saying, "The strange attacker has already been killed by 'Hairless Cloak Man'! Those marks are there."

—Another "Hair Loss Cape Man"! Is this some famous up-and-coming star?

(o_O)?

"Blast" twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth and looked over as instructed. He saw a long, narrow trail, tens of thousands of meters long, left in the city ruins made of rubble and debris, as if someone had punched him. Countless purple legs were stuck on both sides of the trail, which seemed to be the only limb parts left behind by the insectoid monster.

"Don't be surprised, it's already available online in videos!"

Seeing the word "explosion" make him pause, the man chuckled and handed over his phone.

"Blast" looked down and saw that the screen of his phone was showing the shocking scene of Saitama punching an insect!

"...Oh no!!"

Chapter 440 Breaking the Circle

D City, suburbs.

After the recent battle with the Centipede Clan, in addition to accumulating all the "Unlicensed Rider" credits, many heroes are just one step away from redeeming their second credit reward.

As a top student favored by his homeroom teacher, "Unlicensed Rider" does not need to pay for the "Potential Guidance Technique" to use it.

Therefore, Johnson suggested that he continue to accumulate credits in order to redeem higher-level resources.

Isn't a plug-and-play superpower appealing?

The influence of role models, coupled with the dazzling array of resources, ignited a burning passion in everyone's hearts, and tears of envy streamed down their faces.

After enjoying a free, lavish lunch, almost no one slacked off; everyone set off to carry out heroic activities.

Of course, since a generous boss surnamed Qiao booked the Royal Manor Hotel for three consecutive days, everyone said they would still come back to play together after get off work.

Throughout the day, in addition to the press conference held by the S City Hero Association mentioning their achievements, other media outlets in various cities also reported on them extensively.

……

City B.

A cute female reporter with a high ponytail, wearing crystal-embellished high heels, and her photographer hurriedly caught up with a burly, strange man whose head was covered in vines and leaves.

This incredibly strong man, whose muscles alone are breathtaking, just punched down a Tiger-level monster who was causing chaos in a shopping mall!
