Chapter 41: Cosmic Garou Descends – Earth's Last Rampart
---
[Scene 1: Dimensional Breach – Arrival of Garou]
Time fractures.
Across the Hero Association, alarms screech as reality itself bends. Space warps. Clouds twist like clocks. The moon shudders.
A rift slices open above Z-City. Out steps Cosmic Garou—his body a fusion of primal muscle and galactic essence. Nebulas swirl beneath his skin. His eyes glow with a spiral of time and chaos.
> Cosmic Garou: "I've devoured gods. Now show me your best."
He lands with a crater-boom that knocks over buildings. Lightning crackles skyward.
---
[Scene 2: All S-Class Heroes Assemble]
Like a scene from prophecy, every S-Class hero arrives.
Atomic Samurai draws all four blades at once.
Bang and Bomb appear with martial arts stances locked.
Flashy Flash moves so fast light hasn't caught up.
Tatsumaki levitates with a green aura blazing like wildfire.
Metal Bat taps his bat. "One hit, one planet."
Genos arrives with upgraded photon cannons.
Zombieman already lit a cigar. "Let's die later."
> Blast (stepping out of a portal): "Contain the area. Engage with max force. Don't die."
The sky splits.
All heroes charge Garou.
---
[Scene 3: Replay of the Legendary Fight – Anime Style]
Garou blitzes forward, his movements beyond physics.
Atomic Samurai's slashes are deflected by sheer gravitational pulses.
Tatsumaki's meteor barrage is shattered mid-air.
Flashy Flash is caught mid-speed, launched into orbit.
Bang & Bomb land a double fist strike—Garou smiles, absorbing the energy and reversing it.
Genos fires an Omega Core Detonation—Garou walks through the explosion with only his cape burned.
The ground crumbles beneath their feet. Every hit rearranges the battlefield.
> Garou (laughing): "Is this all Earth's finest have?!"
---
[Scene 4: City in Danger – Tsunade & Genos Team Up]
As the main battle shifts to the outskirts, a secondary disaster unfolds. A satellite fragment breaks loose from orbit—heading for Z-City's heart.
> Genos: "Master Bang is down. I'll handle the object."
Tsunade: "Not alone."
Tsunade leaps, smashing through collapsing debris, clearing paths for evacuation.
Genos launches into the sky, catching the satellite, his body melting under re-entry. Tsunade jumps up—chakra-enhanced punch—redirects the mass into the ocean with shockwaves flattening clouds.
> Tsunade: "That's how we do teamwork."
---
[Scene 5: Mid-Air Cooking – Black Goku's Battle Style]
Meanwhile, Black Goku is airborne, flipping skewers of marinated tofu on a flying grill powered by ki. A group of dragon-type monsters attacks mid-air.
> Black Goku (smirking): "Dinner's in five… fight's now."
He parries claws with spatulas, backflips while garnishing plates, and fires energy blasts between stir-frying noodles.
> Monster: "You're cooking during battle?!" Black Goku: "Multi-tasking."
He kicks the monster into a volcano and catches a falling plate.
"Still crispy."
---
[Scene 6: Garou vs Tsunade – Boby Intervenes]
Back on the battlefield, Garou targets Tsunade, who's healing Flashy Flash's broken leg.
> Garou (charging): "You're not a warrior. You're prey."
Just as his fist reaches her—
Boby appears.
He moves once. A simple side-step and pivot.
> Boby (0.000001% power): "You picked the wrong medic."
One kick.
Boby's leg glows faintly.
It connects with Garou's chin.
BOOOOOOOOOM.
Garou's body becomes a meteor—launched from Earth, through atmosphere, into space, then crashing down into another planet across the solar system. That planet detonates on impact.
> Silence.
Tsunade: "...What percentage was that?"
Boby: "Still 0.000001%."
Genos: "You're terrifying."
---
[Scene 7: Cosmic Garou Returns – THE Real Fight Begins]
From the shattered remains of the distant planet…
A ripple forms in space.
Garou returns. Furious. Evolved. Reassembled from cosmic dust and black hole fragments.
> Garou: "Now that... was a kick."
He arrives in front of Boby—no tricks, no dialogue.
They begin to fight.
---
[Scene 8: Boby vs Cosmic Garou – 0.000001% Showdown]
It's not flashy. It's too fast to be flashy.
Garou punches. Boby slips.
Boby counters. Garou warps.
Mountains vanish. Moons detonate from shockwaves.
Each chain Boby swings defies physics—but never breaks rules.
Garou copies Boby's style mid-battle—Boby adjusts.
> Garou: "You're not even TRYING!"
Boby: "Trying is for people with effort bars."
Boby leaps through a dimensional fold, suplexes Garou into the concept of gravity, which collapses temporarily in the area. Garou stands up, laughing.
> Garou: "I haven't had this much fun since I punched out Chronos."
---
[Scene 9: Earth Watches – All Hope in One]
All S-Class heroes watch the fight from afar—some nursing wounds, others wide-eyed.
> Tatsumaki: "He's fighting with restraints?"
Bang: "Even in his weakest state… he controls the battlefield."
Genos: "Master… is smiling."
---
[Scene 10: The Finisher – One Chain, Infinite Bind]
Boby twirls a single golden chain.
> Boby: "This is not an attack. It's a statement."
The Chain of Equilibrium wraps around Garou.
BOOM.
Space-time fractures behind him.
> Boby (calm): "This chain equalizes potential. Your 'infinite adaptation' meets my 'eternal constancy'."
Garou (grinning): "Then break me."
Boby: "No. Just… stop."
The chain pulses once. Garou is frozen mid-punch—locked in a moment of thought, not violence.
> Garou: "...You're strong. But not cruel. I see now."
---
[Scene 11: Aftermath – Cosmic Dust Settles]
The battlefield is silent.
Boby steps back. Garou collapses onto one knee.
> Garou (exhausted): "Next time… I won't hold back either."
Boby: "You didn't. That's what made it fun."
The sky clears. Heroes regroup.
> Black Goku (grinning): "So... ramen or barbecue?"
Tsunade (smirking): "Both."
Genos: "I'll cook."
---
[Scene 12: Cocoon Cracks – Raviel's Whisper]
That night, in their base, Raviel's cocoon cracks wider.
> Raviel (whisper): "You kicked a time-eater for me… good."
> System Alert:
"Awakening in: 21 Days."
Boby (gulping): "Why am I more afraid of my wife than Garou?"
