"Nice work!" Saitama nodded as he looked at the monster, temporarily bound and heavily restricted. He rolled his neck, producing a series of light crackling sounds, and his gaze sharpened into absolute focus.
It was time to end this fight.
He bent his knees slightly, lowering his center of gravity, while his right fist slowly drew back to his waist. An invisible, heart-stopping pressure began to gather around him. The air around them seemed to thicken and grow heavy, even the light subtly warping. Tiny pebbles on the ground began to bounce uncontrollably.
Hawkeye and the agents felt that terrifying pressure. Even knowing the target wasn't them, they still couldn't help but feel a suffocating dread. They clenched the cables with all their strength, creating the opening Saitama needed for this lethal strike.
The monster seemed to sense the deadly threat as well, struggling even more violently. For the first time, something appeared in its crimson eyes…
Fear?
Saitama took a deep breath, locking onto the scale on the monster's chest—webbed with cracks and still bleeding.
"Serious Series—"
"Serious Punch!"
There was no earth-shaking roar—only a declaration so calm it was chilling. Yet the instant the words fell, Saitama's right fist—held at his waist—vanished!
No, it hadn't vanished. It was simply too fast—beyond the limits of the naked eye.
The air was compressed to an extreme and ripped apart! A visible, twisted white shockwave erupted from Saitama's punch like a roaring dragon! Wherever it swept, the ground was gouged into a bottomless trench, and碎石 turned to dust in an instant! The very space inside the underground ruins seemed to be forcibly twisted and stretched by the power of that single blow!
The target was the monster's cracked chest scale—its fatal weak point!
Time seemed to freeze.
In the monster's blood-red pupils, that world-ending white shockwave reflected back at it, filled with boundless fear and despair. It fought with its last strength, letting out a dying wail—but the agents, pulling the cables with their lives on the line, held it firmly in place!
The next instant—
BOOOOM——!!!!!!!!
A horrifying explosion of sound detonated inside the sealed hall—so violent it couldn't be described with words! The sheer physical shockwave of the sound split huge rifts into the solid rock walls! Every agent, including Hawkeye, was blasted off their feet by the terrifying sound and air pressure, slamming hard into walls or cover as their ears rang and their hearing cut out for a moment!
At the center of the shockwave, white light swallowed everything!
When the blinding glare and savage impact finally faded, dust slowly settled.
In the middle of the hall was a massive crater over ten meters wide. The bottom was smooth like a mirror, as if it had been instantly cast by extreme heat and pressure.
And that ancient beast—once arrogant beyond measure, its scales seemingly indestructible—was now only half a corpse—
From the waist up, including its vicious head and the arms it had tried to raise in defense, it was completely gone. As if an invisible hand had wiped it from existence.
All that remained was the lower half: two legs covered in dark green scales and a small portion of its waist and abdomen, slumped crookedly at the edge of the crater like a discarded rag doll. The severed edge was charred black, even the blood having been instantly vaporized—no trace of bleeding remained.
Silence.
Absolute silence smothered the entire hall.
Only the occasional "rustle" of falling碎石 echoed as they dropped from the trembling ceiling.
