A simple breakfast, yet it carried a palpable sense of impending storm and 肅殺.
The two put down their chopsticks, exchanged a glance, and tacitly walked out of the apartment together.
There were no superfluous words throughout, only a gradually rising fighting spirit.
The morning sun gently cast its light upon the ruins of Z-City's uninhabited zone, bathing this desolate land in a warm golden hue.
But this tranquility was destined to be broken very soon.
… …
… …
On the outskirts of Z-City, a vast and boundless Gobi wilderness.
This was a true uninhabited zone, a forbidden area where even Monsters were too lazy to frequent.
The cracked earth stretched to the horizon, merging with the hazy sky, desolate and solitary.
This was an excellent battlefield.
Saitama and Han Sen stood a hundred meters apart, facing each other from a distance.
The strong wind whipped up sand and dust, whistling between them with a mournful sound.
"I'm ready."
Saitama grinned, but in his simple, line-drawn eyes under the strong man's art style, an unprecedented light burned.
It wasn't killing intent, not anger, but a yearning for battle.
"Is that so? I'm ready too."
Han Sen smiled faintly, every cell in his body beginning to tremble with excitement.
It was impossible not to be excited; the insurmountable ceiling for a transmigrator in the One-Punch Man world was right before him, and he… had the qualifications to challenge him!!
The moment his words fell, both figures vanished from their original spots simultaneously.
Boom—!!!
At the center of the wilderness, the air was instantly ignited by an unimaginable force!
A visible white shockwave spread wildly outwards in a perfect circle, sweeping away all sand, stones, and earth on the ground, forming a hundred-meter-high circular sand wall!
In the center of the sand wall, two fists solidly collided.
One was a seemingly ordinary fist wearing a red glove.
The other was a well-defined fist, gleaming with a faint golden light.
The standoff lasted less than a thousandth of a second.
Terrifying power erupted like a volcanic eruption from the point of impact!
Crack—!
The steel-hard Gobi ground beneath their feet, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, instantly cracked into countless bottomless fissures, spreading in all directions at a terrifying speed!
After one punch, both men simultaneously retreated, creating distance.
Saitama shook his slightly numb fist, the excitement on his face growing even more intense.
He blocked it!
His Normal Punch was actually blocked head-on in reality!
Perhaps it was difficult for others to understand, but at this moment, Saitama was incredibly excited!
Aside from last night's dream, he hadn't experienced this feeling in such a long, long time!
Moreover, the opponent's fist gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
It was as if… as if it was the subterranean Monster from his dream who reignited his fighting spirit!!
"Again!"
Saitama laughed loudly, his figure once again transforming into a blurry yellow blur, instantly crossing a hundred meters, a whip kick carrying a tearing shriek through the air, sweeping towards Han Sen's neck!
Han Sen did not dodge, meeting the kick with his own.
As "Subterranean Kingship" activated, the ground beneath his feet slightly sank, and a surge of immense energy flowed up his body into his right leg.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Above the wilderness, the two figures transformed into two intertwined storms of destruction.
Yellow and golden light and shadows rapidly flickered and collided across the vast battlefield, each impact erupting with terrifying roars and shockwaves comparable to nuclear explosions.
Saitama's offense was wide open and direct, without a shred of technique, only the ultimate normal attacks delivered by pure stats.
"Consecutive Normal Punches"!
Countless fist shadows instantly enveloped all space within a hundred meters around Han Sen, each punch powerful enough to level a mountain!
However, Han Sen seemed to possess foresight.
"Divination Eye" had already thoroughly deconstructed Saitama's attack patterns, force application techniques, and even every subtle twitch of his muscles.
And in an instant, he replicated and learned, striking back!
It was proven that in the world of stat Monsters, there were no techniques; even if others completely saw through Saitama's attacks, they couldn't unleash his terrifying, world-destroying attack power!
But Han Sen could!
Effort and sweat, combined with "Dream Disaster" which specifically targeted Saitama, allowed Han Sen to keep up with Saitama's terrifying power, which increased infinitely with the battle!
In the face of overwhelming waves and Consecutive Normal Punches, he impressively achieved a 50/50 stalemate, a feat only seen in fan-created Cosmic Garou!

Ora Ora Ora Ora!!
Muda Muda Muda Muda!!
At this moment, Saitama and Han Sen both felt incredible; the power and speed of their punches simultaneously and continuously increased at an unbelievable rate!
Saitama was constantly releasing his suppressed power, while Han Sen relied on the power of "Dream Disaster" to achieve a 50/50 split and continuously trigger the dual evolution traits of "Ultimate Evolution Body" and "Overlimit Evolution" during the battle.
He solidified and fused the continuously infused "Divine" divine power and planetary power within his body, his own strength skyrocketing as if he had boarded a rocket!
The pain of fist meeting flesh!
The exhilaration of an evenly matched fight!
The tension of needing to go all out!
Saitama finally got the battle he had always dreamed of, his simple strong man art style gradually transforming into the sharp-edged face of a hot-blooded protagonist.
Seeing this, Han Sen, sensing the gunpowder, used the force to fly back into the air, twisting his neck with a series of "crack, crack, crack" sounds: "What, is the warm-up over?"
"Ah," Saitama clenched his fists tightly, the fighting spirit in his eyes igniting the air, "I'm going to get serious!"
"Perfect, me too!"
Boom—!!!
Amidst the roar of piercing air, both figures simultaneously vanished!!!
On a millisecond-level battlefield imperceptible to ordinary people, two equally invincible men collided countless times in an instant!
The earth cracked, mountains collapsed!!
Fists, feet, elbows, knees…!
Their normal attacks continuously smashed into each other's faces; the difference was that the moment Saitama was knocked down, he would shatter the ground beneath his feet and charge back into the sky, while the next moment Han Sen was blasted away, he would spread his hands, and high-temperature energy flowing with death, like magma, would flow in his palms, then erupt with a blinding light comparable to the sun!
"gaia Heat Ray"!
Under the restraint of a faint golden force field, the energy torrent, capable of destroying a planet's surface, transformed into a focused light cannon like a Kamehameha!
In the blink of an eye, it had already shot towards Saitama's front!!
Saitama, who was about to dodge, paused as if he sensed something, then uncharacteristically bent his arm to gather power, and threw a straight punch—
Serious Series—
"Serious Punch"!!
