Chapter 385: Saitama's Weakness and Uchiha Madara's Stalking
Thump, thump, thump.
[Lilith]'s heartbeat slowly calmed down, but that joy was indescribable.
She prayed before Fubuki was about to die, and a [Hero] actually responded to her.
"Thank you... thank you for the rescue... Hero~"
Lilith was already too weak to stand at this moment, but the sense of security brought by Saitama's figure was beyond words.
After finishing that sentence, she could no longer support herself and lost consciousness. Even the wound on her neck ruptured completely because the barrier was lost.
The artery shattered, and a large amount of blood spread in an instant.
"Ah!"
Saitama was still savoring the cry for help he just heard and those complex feelings in his heart. He wasn't good at thinking about such things, so he stood in place.
But seeing this woman actually fall to the ground with blood spraying from her neck made Saitama let out a dazed "Ah."
In fact, he didn't have any healing or rescue abilities, nor did he possess knowledge on how to stop bleeding for people.
Just as Saitama paced back and forth, hesitating whether to pick up the woman and run wildly towards the nearest city, fortunately, Genos finally arrived stepping on his thrusters.
"Genos, quickly take a look at her..."
Saitama, wearing his familiar dead-fish eyes, pointed at the woman bleeding ceaselessly on the ground.
On the other side, [Red Dust] also just recovered from the trembling of imminent death.
The complacency brought by the powerful internal force of the [Reverse Universe] (Ni Qiankun) Third Turn was completely annihilated in that punch of Saitama's.
What thousand-meter saber Qi, what Rock Giant, what Thunder Divine Messenger—before that kind of power, they had no meaning.
Red Dust couldn't understand the nature of the power contained in that punch, but he could fully feel that the power essence of the [Energy] level couldn't touch the foundation at all.
If it was just something like [Energy], to accumulate it to the point of shaking that punch, the amount required would probably be a number Reincarnators couldn't imagine.
The red hair behind him was no longer flamboyant, draped behind his back. He walked over barefoot.
Watching Genos preparing to cauterize the woman's neck with a laser to stop the bleeding, Red Dust's eyelids twitched.
In a sense, this master and disciple pair, Genos and Saitama, were really quite unreliable.
Red Dust coughed twice. Forming his fingers into a sword, icy internal force immediately froze the wound, stopping the blood. Subsequently, he stopped the bleeding for Fubuki and [Lily of the Three Section Staff], considered slightly farming a wave of Hero Faction reputation.
Red Dust suddenly frowned; he sensed movement in two places.
"Mr. Saitama, you... didn't kill those two?"
He turned his head and saw those two Reincarnators, whose strength wasn't weak, standing up a hundred meters away.
That burly guy had traces of his saber Qi and cold air remaining on his shoulder, while the other person didn't seem to have any injuries.
Clearly, Saitama's terrifying punch was not only not aimed at Red Dust, but even these two, he didn't attack.
It completely hit the middle of the three groups, using the shockwave of the attack to smooth out the attacks of the three groups.
"No."
Saitama didn't understand why he asked. He was still curious about Red Dust's magical ability to freeze wounds by raising his hand and releasing internal Qi. Looking at his hand gestures, he seemed to have the intention of imitating Red Dust's movements.
Red Dust frowned. He sensed something bad.
[Saitama], as the foreseeable ceiling-level powerhouse of this world, possessed power that completely crushed monsters like Tornado and [???].
But Saitama himself also had some 'weaknesses.'
If Reincarnators wanted to plot something big in this world, they would basically start from these 'weaknesses.'
As far as Red Dust knew, [Sage] probably cooperated with His Majesty to exploit Saitama's 'low desire' weakness and made special arrangements.
Only then did they enter this world with confidence to seek a more terrifying plan.
[Supreme Powerhouses] would pay a considerable price to enter a [Secondary World]. And a Secondary World containing an unknown-level plot character like Saitama who could cause a Supreme Powerhouse to fall was usually a low-efficiency world that Supreme Powerhouses wouldn't choose at all.
High risk, but the return wasn't that high.
But after His Majesty and Sage utilized Saitama's character weakness to make arrangements, they were confident they could seal Saitama. Thus, they entered this world to seize something.
Red Dust guessed it was most likely the [Limiter].
There weren't many things that a [Supreme Powerhouse] would care about. To make a Supreme Powerhouse risk being killed to enter, Red Dust could only think of the [Limiter] and the [Power of God].
After entering this world, the team of [Chaos Sage] indeed investigated the whereabouts of the [Limiter] at the beginning, wanting to find the [House of Evolution] and the place where Saitama once trained.
But there were no gains.
The House of Evolution mysteriously disappeared, and the place where Saitama once was also lost its trace due to the huge terrain changes from world fusion.
Red Dust suddenly came back to his senses, realizing his thoughts had drifted too far.
He patted his cheeks, using the icy force to help himself retrieve reason from the fear of Saitama.
"Mr. Saitama, perhaps you aren't clear. These guys will absolutely not repent just because you spared their lives. If you are unwilling to do it, why not let me..."
Red Dust revealed killing intent. He knew Sage and His Majesty's means very well. Besides the weakness of 'low desire,' Saitama also had the self-restriction of 'not killing humans.'
Even for an existence like Garou who almost completely turned into a monster, Saitama didn't use a killer move, merely defeating the opponent.
Saitama, who blasted monsters with one punch, had almost no heart for slaughtering [Humans].
This restriction wouldn't cause anything most of the time because of Saitama's overly strong power. Even if those spared by him deliberately used this restriction to sneak attack, there wouldn't be any result.
But Reincarnators were a group of guys who pursued 'completing missions' by hook or by crook.
People who would do anything for profit.
Especially Sage and His Majesty, who were very good at manipulating human nature and attacking the weaknesses in people's hearts.
He had a bad guess.
Saitama frowned, not understanding why this red-haired guy was obsessed with killing other humans.
[Your behavior caused plot character Saitama's dissatisfaction. Your reputation with Saitama decreased. Current: Friendly 3/100]
Red Dust was stunned. The magnitude of the reputation drop this time was considerable, almost falling to the edge of 'Stranger.'
The two in the distance waited for a moment with bodies cold as ice. Finding that neither Saitama nor Red Dust attacked them, the two who escaped death looked at each other and left quickly.
Red Dust hesitated for a moment, afraid of angering Saitama, and didn't pursue. The group then prepared to send the injured for treatment, while Saitama looked at the shattered J-City in the distance, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms. His scarlet Sharingan watched the two who escaped death leaving quickly away from that bald head evaluated by that Host as the [Completely Unrivaled Person].
"Hmph, Completely Unrivaled Person... huh..."
If it were before, Uchiha Madara would probably dismiss such an evaluation. But after losing the Rinnegan and his own body, and seeing that terrifying scene of Tornado fighting [???]...
Uchiha Madara's figure flashed, chasing after the two departing Reincarnators.
That Host's unscrupulous methods also gained Uchiha Madara's approval. Between the rotation of the Sharingan, malice began to spread.
