"Psychic Power (Psionics) · Myriad Phenomena Strangulation!"
Saitama Orochi's pupils contracted. Her psychic power was fully unleashed. All the rocks and lava in the giant crater of the Z-City ruins condensed and compressed, forming an enormous, twisted spear that rose slowly from the crater, piercing fiercely towards Naruto in the sky.
If it weren't for the urgency of the battle, Saitama Orochi could have even drained the entire planet's lithosphere.
"Petty tricks."
"Evening Elephant! Consecutive Strikes!"
Naruto's expression remained unchanged. He shattered the giant spiraling spear with an Evening Elephant punch, then launched another Evening Elephant towards Saitama Orochi.
It was no longer a single Five-Foot strike, but dozens, even hundreds, of air cannons unleashed in an instant at superhuman speed in Take-Mikazuchi Mode!
Dense, elephant-foot-shaped shockwaves, like a torrential storm, completely engulfed Saitama Orochi.
"Bang bang bang bang bang —!!!"
The energy shield around Saitama Orochi fluctuated violently, and her carapace cracked. She let out an angry roar, forcibly shaking off the continuous bombardment, and the giant core mouth on her chest opened again—Gaia Cannon!
Although its power was not as great as the full-force strike of Orochi's true body drawing from the earth's core, it was still a devastating torrent of energy!
"Daikokuten!"
Naruto still didn't dodge. He even stood in mid-air, unmoving. He simply waved his hand casually, and a pitch-black "black hole" appeared directly in front of him, attempting to absorb this Gaia Cannon!
"Seeking death!" Saitama Orochi sneered, increasing her energy output.
Vast energy surged frantically into Daikokuten, enough to destroy all things in the world. Yet, Daikokuten remained stable, because behind it was the third layer of the Void Cage of the Shadow God-Kingdom created by Naruto!
"Returning it to you!"
Naruto directly reversed Daikokuten, turning the "absorbed" Gaia Cannon back to blast directly at Saitama Orochi.
"What!?"
Saitama Orochi's pupils suddenly contracted. The terrifying Gaia Cannon rushed directly in front of her, almost impossible to avoid. She could only quickly cross the dark spears in her hands in front of her, taking the brunt of the Gaia Cannon she had released.
"Boom!"
Another brilliant light streaked across the Earth's sky. The blue-black energy cannon blasted Saitama Orochi tens of thousands of kilometers away, sending her into the cold, silent cosmos.
At this moment, Saitama Orochi sensed a despair-inducing gap in strength.
The Take-Mikazuchi Mode, with the Eighth Gate open, was actually ten times stronger than the normal Take-Mikazuchi. Such a chasm could no longer be erased by mere fusion.
"Only by exploding, letting Saitama Orochi's body explode, I will make the Earth and you perish together!"
This was Psykos's thought wave.
She wasn't truly self-destructing but was preparing to abandon Saitama Orochi's body, or rather, abandon Orochi.
The strange wings on Saitama Orochi's back flapped, turning her into a streak of light rushing towards Earth, preparing to self-destruct in the atmosphere. The result—
Naruto took a step, and a blood-red clock suddenly appeared behind him.
The moment the clock appeared, a bloody hue enveloped the heavens and earth, and the time of all things stopped, including Saitama Orochi, who was about to self-destruct.
"In front of me, you don't even have the right to self-destruct."
Naruto instantly unleashed a hundred punches, the Hundred-Foot Evening Elephant, whose power was equally capable of shattering the void, leaving not even a speck of Saitama Orochi behind. O
[Eliminated one Saitama Orochi, experience points +8 million]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Obtained 150 Free Attribute Points]
One pop-up window after another appeared before Naruto.
Not only that, but three light clusters of varying sizes also appeared where Saitama Orochi died.
Two of the light clusters contained a Bronze-level Underground City Key and a Silver Rank Underground City Key. The other, larger light cluster, looked like a miniature Saitama Orochi.
That was the Saitama Orochi Set, red quality.
Divine Artifact Set!
"The Hero Set I obtained in the Goblin Slayer World broke earlier. This Saitama Orochi Set can replace it perfectly."
The attribute bonuses and defense of the Saitama Orochi Set were stronger than the Hero Set, and it also came with Saitama Orochi's skills, allowing the use of the Gaia Cannon and Psychic Power (Psionics).
The only drawback was that its appearance was a bit ugly.
But it didn't matter; it would just be in the [inventory] and wouldn't need to be displayed.
"I wonder which worlds these two Underground City keys will lead to."
Naruto held the two new Underground City keys, his eyes gleaming.
Just then, a cold, bone-chilling sense of being watched, beyond physical perception, like an invisible needle, suddenly pierced deep into his soul!
In Naruto's mind, a boundless, brilliant sea of flowers suddenly unfolded.
At the end of the sea of flowers, a faceless giant seemed to rise slowly.
That was not the lingering malice of Saitama Orochi, nor was it the aura of any known strong individual on Earth.
It came from a higher, more distant, and more "outer" dimension, carrying an absolute indifference that disregarded everything, as if observing ants.
It was as if an emotionless eye had opened in the cosmic background radiation, quietly, with a hint of curiosity and greed, observing him.
"Found—you—"
A thought, not through sound, but directly in his collapsing mental world, rang out.
It was the true entity worshipped on the altar murals in the Underground Temple!
It was the one who called itself "God," sowing seeds of power and causing the source of disaster!
Individuals like Homeless Emperor and Awakened Garou had all received its power.
He—was the God of the One-Punch World!
"Hiding your head and tail—what kind of God is that—"
Naruto was startled but not panicked. He put away the Underground City keys, then took out an item from his [inventory].
A—dice!
"In my name, Uzumaki Naruto—using the [dice of the gods] as a guide—"
Naruto held this divine artifact from the Goblin Slayer World and threw the dice into the cosmic void.
"—Establish a gamble!"
"The stakes are—my existence, and your—appearance!"
Buzz!!!
The dice of the gods suddenly erupted with an indescribable light. That was not light, but the manifestation of rules!
[Gamble Established!]
An invisible thread, guiding destiny, followed the trajectory of that "God's" gaze, flowing upstream, instantly crossing unimaginable space and dimensions, forcibly anchoring that existence hidden in the shadows of the universe!
"Presumptuous!"
In the depths of the universe, in a subspace or high-dimensional rift attached to the real universe, a hazy, galaxy-sized figure of God, condensed from stellar dust and dark matter, emitted a furious thought wave.
He hadn't expected that this tiny individual on a tiny planet would possess a tool capable of directly touching His main body, and even forcibly establishing a "rule-level" connection!
The next moment, the forcibly established gambling rules took effect!
Naruto's figure suddenly vanished from above Earth.
And in that star-dimmed deep space of the universe, the dimension where God was originally hidden was forcibly torn and dragged, violently overlapping with the material universe!
"Boom!!!"
The true God was forced to appear in the material universe!
