"Impossible! My warship has energy shields, no living being could have entered so silently!"
The Other whispered in horror.
He turned—
And there was Saitama, yellow suit, white cape, calmly walking out of the void.
Yes. Out of the void!
To see a man casually step through space itself—it was terrifying.
Even Thanos had shown such power, and now this bald human too?
"Oh? You mean this?"
Saitama scratched his head, casually reaching out.
A stable portal bloomed before him.
Next instant, he stood face-to-face with The Other.
"Space teleportation…"
The Other's lips trembled.
Saitama checked his system.
His Absorption Talent now listed:
Energy [Space Force] Remaining: 98%
Description: Absorbed power of the Space Stone.
Effect: Allows spatial traversal, effect depends on energy strength and usage.
After absorbing the Tesseract, Saitama had true teleportation.
But to him, a slacker at heart, it only made monster-hunting even duller.
"Found you. You must be the boss of these monsters? I'm Saitama, a hero for fun."
He said it like asking about supermarket discounts.
Boom!
A beam of light shot from The Other, striking Saitama's head.
Even Loki had struggled against that attack.
But the result…
The Other himself was hurled like a missile into the alloy wall, smashing a crater five meters wide.
Saitama's shiny bald head? Untouched.
Breaking his limiter, Saitama could no longer be measured as living flesh.
He grew stronger by the day, even he didn't know how strong.
Today's Saitama could beat yesterday's Saitama.
"Impossible! Why… why does such a life exist?!"
The Other staggered up, eyes full of terror.
"You just attacked me?"
Saitama rubbed his head, his tone shifting darker.
He clenched a red-gloved fist.
Might as well finish quick and get home for dinner.
Luruu~~
Suddenly, light enveloped The Other.
A glowing shield covered him, and a massive form appeared.
Purple skin, ridged chin, towering frame.
Gold pauldrons, blue-gold armor, golden boots.
Seated upon a throne, gaze cold and imperial.
The moment that figure appeared, The Other collapsed to his knees.
"Master!!"
His voice shook with desperate relief.
Titan. Eternal. Overlord.
Thanos.
The Other bore a safeguard gifted by Thanos: a protective barrier equal to one of Thanos's own strikes.
In his mind, none could defeat Thanos.
From the moment Thanos gained Infinity Stones, it was clear—
This universe would belong only to him.
Because Thanos was invincible.
At Thanos's arrival, The Other knew he would live.
"You… disrupted my plan?"
Thanos's voice boomed, awe-inspiring.
His fierce gaze locked on Saitama.
The bald man tilted his head, scratching idly.
"Banner's a green monster. You're a purple one? You two related? Either way, stealing my credit isn't cool."
For Saitama, stolen credit was the worst.
He'd lost credit too many times before.
Even that green monster had tried.
"Hahahaha! Saitama! That's Thanos! The master of the universe! You can't kill me! Submit to him, and you'll have a place in the cosmos!"
The Other laughed wildly, picturing Saitama kneeling.
Crack—boom!
Before he finished, a red fist struck.
The so-called Thanos-level shield shattered in less than a tenth of a second.
"Stop!"
Thanos roared, rising from his throne.
His presence shook the void, eyes sharp as blades.
Saitama's fist halted a centimeter before The Other's nose.
The shockwave blew his hairless scalp back.
The Chitauri mothership, reinforced with layers of alloys, crumbled like tofu.
Everything in the fist's path dissolved into powder.
The Other collapsed, spineless, face white as death.
Even Thanos's eyes narrowed in shock.
A predator meeting something greater.
"You… dare?"
Thanos's aura surged.
"Oh? You calling me?"
Saitama scratched his head, glancing over.
"Release The Other!"
Thanos commanded coldly.
He was too far, unable to arrive in time.
The Chitauri were a useful force; he didn't want them wasted.
The Other wept with gratitude.
Following this master had been the right choice!
"Why?"
"I am Thanos!"
"Oh, Thanos?"
Saitama nodded.
The Other grinned, emboldened again.
"Saitama! My master Thanos is the strongest in the cosmos! Submit, and—"
Boom!
The fist fell.
The Other didn't finish.
His body exploded into fragments, leaving only dust.
"My stomach's growling… If there's nothing else, I'll head out."
Saitama rubbed his belly, muttering at the stunned Thanos.
