Boom—!
Saitama swung his hand fiercely, his movements as violent as if he were swatting his most hated mosquito.
Tatsumaki subconsciously squinted, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw—
The wild and unparalleled Psychokinesis impact was actually shattered by an invisible force three inches in front of Saitama!
It turned into gusts of gentle breeze, only making the white cape behind him flutter wildly.
"That was close," Saitama sighed in relief, but his focus was not on the terrifying attack at all, "If I had to relight the fire now, the meat would be overcooked, and the grilling effect would be much worse."
Then, as if remembering something, he sternly lectured, "By the way, children shouldn't be so rude!"
"I'm not bald, I'm just experiencing hair loss!!"
Tatsumaki: "…"
Tatsumaki's emerald green eyes, which had been wide with rage, now widened even further, filled with disbelief at Saitama casually shattering her psychic field.
However, this guy's utterly baseless retort also left her speechless.
If you weren't experiencing hair loss, how would you end up bald for no reason?
Interrupted by Saitama, Tatsumaki's anger subsided somewhat, but her apprehension grew rather than lessened.
Her full-power attack was actually so casually dispersed by this bald man!
This guy, he's definitely not an ordinary person!
Han Sen, standing nearby, was torn between laughter and tears. He activated "Imaginary Divine Power" to silently calm the natural phenomena Tatsumaki's rage had stirred up.
He also put his arm around the girl's shoulder and advised, "Although, Saitama wasn't entirely wrong, was he? After all, in certain specific situations, you did call me…"
"…Alright, stop talking!"
A fuming Tatsumaki finally broke down, raising her soft, fragrant little hand to firmly cover Han Sen's mouth, which still wanted to spout nonsense.
As she thought about what she had done with this annoying guy before, she quickly gave up struggling entirely, radiating an aura of utter resignation, as if life held no more meaning.
Let this broken world be destroyed!
Just then, a violent tremor came from the scorched earth not far away.
Rumble—!
The ground cracked, and a colossal figure, three or four stories high, burst out of the earth in a storm of extreme ice wind. Ice and cold instantly swept across several kilometers, making even the flames on the barbecue grill flicker.
It was a gigantic white bear, over thirty meters long, standing upright!
Its entire body was covered in white armor as brilliant and thick as ice crystals, and its blood-red eyes were filled with the cruelty and madness of centuries of slumber.
[Monster: Hibernation King]
[Disaster Level: Dragon (Mid)]
[Ability 1: "King of Frozen Earth (SSR)": An ice field that freezes everything. Once activated, it can completely freeze a volcano.]
[Ability 2: "Power of Hibernation (SSR)": Terrifying power continuously accumulated during endless hibernation. It doubles for every year of hibernation.]
As the Monster's ability information appeared before his eyes, Han Sen's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
What's going on?
Have I been encountering ice-attribute Monsters recently?
"Roar—!!!"
The White Bear Monster let out a deafening roar, and a terrifying Dragon-level pressure surged forth, overwhelming everything.
"I am the King of Frozen Earth, 'Hibernation King,' who has slept for three hundred years! From today on, this stolen land shall once again be ruled by me! The true king!"
"Any living being that steps into my territory will be completely frozen by me and become my feast!"
"Tremble! Fear! What awaits you is… huh?"
Its extremely arrogant self-introduction came to an abrupt halt as it clearly saw the scene before it.
A harmless-looking but terrifying bald man whose shadow spread out like a shroud behind him.
A man whose aura was ten thousand times stronger than its own at its peak.
And a… petite, yet green-haired woman whose oppressive presence was enough to freeze its soul.
Three pairs of eyes, each with a different gaze, simultaneously looked at it.
Calm, indifferent, drooling (slurp)…
Hibernation King: "…"
The White Bear Monster's pupils, in an instant, shrank from the size of basketballs to two tiny black dots.
Two waterfall-wide streams of cold sweat ran down its thick white bear face.
It saw the powerful man, who was scanning back and forth between its two front paws and its thick body with the gaze of someone appraising top-grade ingredients.
It saw the terrifying bald man pointing at it with a curious expression, seemingly asking, "This big guy looks like it has a lot of meat, can it be eaten?"
It also saw the green-haired woman, who, though held by the terrifying man, clearly conveyed the message "I'm hungry right now, so I might as well eat something good" in her eyes.
"Um, is it too late for me to go back to sleep now?!"
The White Bear Monster spoke awkwardly, but then saw the terrifying man with hair curl his lips.
"What do you think?"
The instinct for survival overwhelmed fear. The Hibernation King roared, opened its massive maw, and all the cold energy within its body furiously converged!
"Damn it, die!! Taste the full power of this King…"
"Too noisy."
Han Sen didn't even bother to let it finish speaking before casually snapping his fingers.
Snap.
A dazzling purple sword light appeared out of thin air in his hand, and along with his figure, which instantly accelerated beyond the Dragon-level Monster's visual capture, it flashed and vanished.
The Hibernation King's roar, which was about to unleash a destructive cold current, along with its massive body, instantly solidified.
The next second, starting from its brow, a clean cut silently appeared, perfectly dividing it into two halves from head to toe.
There was no blood, no internal organs; the cut was smooth as a mirror, and it even emitted a faint aroma of roasted meat.
[Ding! Detected reproducible target "Hibernation King"!]

[Current ability slots occupied: 0 / 30.]
With practiced ease, like a dragonfly touching water, the two SSR abilities were refined in an instant.
(Ability slots: Sigh, I'm used to it…)
The Hibernation King's colossal corpse fell to either side, crashing onto the ground with a rumble, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The gaze of the three, by unspoken agreement, fell upon the thick, plump, and perfectly prepared bear paws.
"Just right, it seems our ingredients aren't quite enough."
Han Sen casually swung his sword at the giant bear paws, which would normally require a truck to transport.
"Honey-glazed roasted bear paw, do you prefer it sweet or savory?"
