I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Noisy!"

Boros, who was still explaining his death, was abruptly interrupted by a loud shout from Saitama, who seemed quite annoyed. The bald hero looked very impatient.

"All that chatter and babbling... Is this battle already over?"

Boros was stunned and astonished, while the Grim Reaper also looked embarrassed. Saitama never cared about others' opinions, perhaps because he was too powerful. Even Boros in front of him couldn't make him take it seriously.

"No!"

Boros, the cosmic overlord who was criticized for talking too much, faced the man before him seriously. This powerful opponent required him to show his true abilities in battle.

"It's not over yet!"

A terrifying burst of energy enveloped Boros's entire body, turning his deep blue form into one with white and black stripes. The cosmic overlord crouched on the ground in a fighting stance.

"Meteor eruption!"

Boros's true trump card is his ability to use the energy within his body as propulsion, allowing him to achieve speeds and strengths that surpass biological limits—roughly one-third the speed of light and the power to flatten a city with a single punch.

While Saitama was still wondering what special move the one-eyed alien in front of him would use, Boros moved in an instant! Before Saitama could even react, this cosmic overlord charged directly in front of Saitama and brought down his right fist, which had the power to flatten a city.

At that moment, Saitama was directly punched into the spaceship. Along with the terrifying power that Boros unleashed, he destroyed one-third of the spaceship's structure. This was the "Meteor Burst," which had the power to destroy a city with a single punch!

"Holy shit!!"

Even the Hell Messenger watching the battle swore out loud. It hadn't expected Boros, now in his buffed state, to be so powerful, several levels stronger than before... Seriously, is Saitama really okay this time?

Already moving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, Boros burst forth at a third of the speed of light, catching up with Saitama and relentlessly punching and kicking him countless times. During this time, the powerful kinetic energy caused the structures of any spaceships that came into contact with him to collapse and be destroyed.

Even the S-class heroes below, who were trying to attack the spaceship, did less damage to it than Boros himself. This "Meteor Burst" cosmic overlord attacked Saitama, and the terrifying impact even caused severe damage to the spaceship.

"Let's end this!"

In just a few seconds, he had already attacked Saitama thousands of times. After realizing that he could not harm Saitama no matter what he did, the cosmic overlord grabbed Saitama's cloak, spun him around, and threw him into the air. He then chased after him at super speed in an instant. The moment they made contact, Boros raised his right leg and kicked Saitama hard.

The terrifying energy was converted into propulsion, and in that instant, Saitama was kicked away and disappeared without a trace...

Saitama, who was kicked off Earth by Boros, eventually crashed and landed on the moon.

Chapter 42 The One-Eyed Big Brother Can't Get Any More Gas.....

Saitama, who hadn't even fully grasped the reality of the situation, was kicked directly to the moon by Boros. He could see the entire blue Earth at a glance. After instinctively taking a breath and finding no oxygen, Saitama decided to hold his breath.

"Universe...Earth...?"

Saitama stood up and looked around, realizing he was on the moon. However, unsure of the exact ratio of the moon's gravity to Earth's, he picked up a rock and tossed it around to get a sense of how much force he needed to apply.

Holding his breath and getting into position, Saitama took in the view of City A on Earth and the spaceship. After adjusting his direction, he nodded and then pushed off with all his might!

In an instant, a shockwave even more terrifying than when Saitama struck the moon appeared, and a large area of ​​the moon's surface visibly collapsed.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Boros, in his "Meteor Burst" state, was exhausted. This form was like anaerobic exercise, which put a great strain on his body. Boros originally intended to use this as a trump card to quickly end the battle.

"Will Saitama never come back?"

The messenger of hell, standing atop the spaceship, was still looking up at his jet-black bald head staring at the sky. Saitama had just been kicked into the sky by Boros and was completely out of Earth's range. He wondered if this guy had really been defeated this time.

The messenger of hell, who was still muttering and speculating, suddenly noticed a black dot approaching from above its head. The dot was moving so fast that it couldn't react or dodge it. In the end, it could only leave behind a sentence that it couldn't finish saying.

"Saitama, you son of a bitch..."

Saitama, who had just returned from the moon, stomped right on the head of the Grim Reaper, burying it into his spaceship. The immense impact caused the spaceship to tilt and crash into the ground of City A.

"Oh? You're back!"

Saitama, quite pleased with his return from the moon, was completely oblivious to the Grim Reaper he had stomped to death and sent back to respawn in seconds. Perhaps even if he had noticed, he had stomped on him on purpose, since it didn't matter if he stomped on someone who was indestructible.

Boros, stunned and speechless, was surprised when Saitama, whom he had kicked out of Earth, returned to him. Boros, who was already slightly tired, resolutely narrowed his eyes.

"For this man..."

Even though his physical strength had reached its limit, Boros still charged forward again in the "Meteor Burst" state. The person in front of him was very strong, much stronger than he had expected, but that was precisely why!

"I'm willing to risk everything to fight!!"

"Ooooooooooo!!"

Boros, transformed into light and shadow, relentlessly attacked Saitama. In just one second, he could unleash thousands of attacks, each one possessing the power to destroy a city, but all of this seemed meaningless.

Saitama, who had taken all the attacks head-on, simply seized the opportunity and threw a punch with his right hand. Boros, who was hit directly in the chest, staggered back and coughed up a mouthful of blood from the severe blow.

Boros, who had slipped and retreated a considerable distance, forcibly stopped himself, and forced his bloodshot single eye to face Saitama.

"That's right, Saitama! That's what makes it worth it for me to defeat you!!"

However, the only response to this cosmic overlord was countless red fist shadows, and Saitama began his second real counterattack.

"A series of normal punches!"

Boros, instantly reduced to a bloody mess, would have been utterly dead to anyone else in that state, but...

With only one eye remaining, Boros unleashed his energy once more, instantly healing the blood foam that filled the air into his body. This immortal body, comparable to that of a messenger of hell, would likely be impossible for Saitama to keep from Boros even if he wanted to escape.

But that's absolutely impossible!

Escape was impossible now, and defeat was unacceptable, for Boros's lifelong pursuit lay before him. Facing the unremarkable bald hero, this cosmic overlord made his vow:

"Saitama! I must defeat you!!"

Boros leaped into the sky, unleashing all the energy within him—equivalent to that of a planet—concentrated in his chest. This was his second trump card, comparable to a "meteor burst," a terrifying attack with the power to destroy a planet in a single blow.

"Unleash all the energy and blast you and the surface of the planet away!"

The terrifying energy burst, the mere energy fluctuations that preceded this move, melted the upper part of the spaceship. This was another of Boros's trump cards.

With a pulse as strong as a heartbeat, Boros channeled all his energy into this attack, regardless of the possibility of death. He was determined to risk everything to defeat the man before him, to defeat the hero named Saitama.

"Star-Shattering Roaring Cannon!!"

A terrifying energy attack formed in Boros's chest and, under his full power, was unleashed towards Saitama. If Saitama had dodged it, the Earth would likely have been completely destroyed by this attack.

However, faced with such a critical moment, this bald hero calmly watched the attack approaching him and earnestly uttered the following sentence:

"Then I'll use my ultimate move too."

"The Ultimate 'Serious Series'"

Saitama clenched his right fist and, for the first time, made a charging motion before throwing a punch. Just as Boros's Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon was about to reach him, he suddenly swung his charged right fist.

"Beat them up properly!"

In that instant, an invisible, terrifying force completely neutralized the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon, splitting it in two and scattering it around Saitama. Behind him, two streaks were swept through the Earth's clouds, while in front of Saitama after he used "Serious Punch"... the clouds above the Earth were completely swept away.

Having taken the full force of Saitama's "Serious Punch," Boros had fallen onto the spaceship. The attack from the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon had exhausted all his energy, leaving this cosmic overlord with only a mummy-like withered body, no longer able to heal himself.

The spaceship's power sphere also shattered under the powerful impact, and the spaceship has now crashed into City A, perishing here just like its owner, Boros.

"Did I... lose...?"

With his last ounce of strength, Boros questioned the man who had defeated him. Now, with his one eye damaged, he could no longer see Saitama.

"You're still conscious? You're really strong."

"Just as the prophecy foretold... it was an evenly matched... and spectacular duel..."

"Yes, that's absolutely right."

Boros spoke with the last of his strength, and Saitama responded with his back turned, as if bidding a final farewell to a respected strongman.

"........."

"Oh......."

After a moment of silence, as if mocking himself, Boros revealed the truth in his heart.

"You're lying...you didn't even use your full strength..."

"I'm no match for you at all, it's not even an equal fight..."

"As expected, prophecies are unreliable..."

"Saitama, you're too strong."

Saitama silently left, ignoring Boros, whom he had defeated behind him. That was enough... There was nothing more he could do.

Perhaps this was the last wish of this cosmic overlord. After tasting the emptiness and pain of being "invincible" for countless years, he was defeated by a man stronger than himself, but one person awakened his will.

"Saitama is really strong, right? That's why I'm determined to beat him no matter what. Do you want to come with me?"

The resurrected Hellbringer sat cross-legged beside Boros, the defeated cosmic overlord. One defeat was nothing, even if it meant dying countless times or trying every means to become stronger. The Hellbringer ultimately wanted to defeat Saitama, to defeat this invincible hero!

The extinguished fighting spirit was reignited, and the cosmic overlord Boros used his last strength to answer the invitation from the messenger of hell.

"Saitama...I must defeat him!"

Chapter 43 Everything I said is true, why don't you believe me!

The news of the crashed spaceship and the destruction of City A caused a great stir. Fortunately, thanks to the great invention of "Dr. Hell," all the citizens of City A were evacuated in advance, and so far only the buildings in City A have been damaged... although the property losses are still countless.

Three days have passed since the alien invasion, but the Hero Association, unaware of the details, has only classified it as a "Dragon-level" disaster.

There are many things to tell, but first we must turn our attention to this place beneath Z City. In the huge underground base of Dr. Genus's takoyaki shop, Izuku Midoriya and the Grim Reaper are in this place.

"That should be fine. Now let him recover slowly."

"Thank you so much, Master! You've been a great help!"

"Seriously! That's why I was worried you might end up doing Saitama a disservice, but you ended up picking up the alien leader instead."

Before Green Valley and the Grim Reaper, in a glass tank filled with green nutrient solution, Boros, who looked like a mummy, was slowly recovering. Although he looked almost dead, he had indeed been saved.

Three days earlier, Boros, who was nearly dead, accepted the invitation from the Grim Reaper and was then transported by the "Hyperspace Cube" to Dr. Genus's takoyaki shop. Dr. Genus, who was busy making takoyaki, was confused about what was going on. He was then dragged by the Grim Reaper to rescue Boros.

After temporarily keeping Boros alive with life support, the Hell Messenger went to report to Izuku Midoriya, as it needed to inform its master about such matters.

After finishing up the follow-up matters in City A, Midoriya learned about the battle between Saitama and Boros on the spaceship after the Grim Reaper contacted him. He also learned that the Grim Reaper had taken Boros to Dr. Genus to rescue him... Midoriya Izuku felt like he had a headache. How did this guy manage to create another problem for him?

After careful consideration, Midoriya reluctantly agreed to rescue Boros. After all, he had already evacuated the citizens of City A beforehand, and if no one was injured, it wouldn't cross his bottom line. However, he would have to help these homeless citizens of City A rebuild their homes.

However, he had to see for himself. After visiting Dr. Genus in Midoriya, he finally met Boros, the cosmic overlord who fought Saitama to the point of defeat. Unfortunately, Boros looked like a mummy.

Later, during a conversation with Dr. Genus, Midoriya learned that the cosmic overlord Boros possessed an extremely powerful self-healing ability. However, the reason why even this genius scientist could only keep him alive was because Boros had exhausted all his energy during his battle with Saitama, and he was now just a corpse that could die at any moment.

Dr. Genus didn't have much of a solution regarding energy. Although he was a biological researcher with a lot of experience in treating and saving lives, who knew that this alien, who could survive on energy, had a bug-like constitution that could instantly heal even if he was beaten into mincemeat? He was a completely different species from Earthlings, so how could he save him?

When Midoriya arrived, Dr. Genus handed this tricky problem to Izuku Midoriya. Although it seemed like a very troublesome and profound problem, Midoriya solved it by scratching his head a little.

The Plague Messenger possesses the ability to absorb life force and transform it into power. It can also infuse life force into other creatures. Having this guy in action could at least temporarily save Boros from the brink of death.

On the other hand, regarding Boros's need for energy, Midoriya had the "Hyperspace Cube" collect it. This mechanized intelligent monster can open portals to spacetime rifts in various places, so it wouldn't be difficult for it to open a portal to collect energy in outer space near the sun, although it would take a very long time.

After dealing with Boros for the time being, Midoriya received a communication message from the Hero Association. Upon opening it, he heard the following:

"Dr. Hell, I'm very sorry to bother you, but could you please come to the Hero Association headquarters immediately?"

"Hmm... I'll be right there."

Although he didn't know why the Hero Association wanted to see him, Midoriya immediately used the Hyperspace Cube to teleport him there.

Midoriya arrived at the Hero Association headquarters in an instant. He noticed a huge mechanical behemoth outside City A, even taller than the Hero Association's black building. Intrigued, he glanced at it and went inside the headquarters, prioritizing his business.

"Dr. Hell, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Midoriya, the Hero Association executives who were there to greet him quickly explained why they had asked him to come, as they were leading Midoriya to the meeting room.

"Here's what happened: After City A was destroyed by aliens and spaceships, although we won, the destruction of City A was an inevitable fact."

"Therefore, the Hero Association proposed that Metal Knight clear the ruins and rebuild City A, as his advanced mechanical technology would allow him to rebuild City A in a short time."

"But this proposal was rejected by some of our internal staff, who said that we had to ask for your opinion first."

"Isn't this a good thing! But why ask for my opinion?"

Midoriya seemed a little strange, while the Hero Association's higher-ups became embarrassed. He cautiously said:

"But for this 'Dragon-level' alien invasion disaster, the one who deserves the most credit is 'Dr. Hell'!"

"Whether it was saving all the citizens of City A ahead of schedule or sinking the alien spaceship, it's all thanks to you!"

"Uh... can I refute this? I did save the citizens of City A, but I didn't defeat the spaceship or the alien leader!"

"Hmm...we understand, it's the work of your 'Hell Messenger' subordinate, but of course, the blame falls on you."

"I've said it so many times! It was Saitama who did it, it has nothing to do with me!!"
