"Huh?"
On Jupiter, Saitama stared blankly at the figure that had vanished before him after throwing a full-powered punch, expecting his own demise.
What about the 0.01 seconds? What's going on!!!
Saitama, whose face was a bit bruised from the beating, retracted his right fist and stood there, stunned.
It didn't feel like the time was up yet? ...
In fact, the time had indeed reached 0.01 seconds, triggering the Sovereign's return mechanism.
However, in terms of the two of their perceived time, there was still a leeway of about 0.0012731 seconds before the return.
The answer is—the battle between the two twisted the very fabric of time!
The two, locked in the final stages of their fight, could obliterate Earth with every punch and kick.
When such terrifying power and speed were concentrated in their fists, the pressure created a spacetime distortion, like a black hole.
For the two combatants, time hadn't yet passed, but the universe's space had already secretly accelerated, unable to withstand their clashes.
If this hadn't happened, under Byakuya's fist, either Saitama or the universe would have been destroyed in the next second.
So, to prevent the two powerful enemies from destroying the universe through their fight, the rules of time were used to end the battle early!
In this battle, the victor was neither Byakuya nor Saitama.
This is what's called, the universe's victory!
Today, the universe, already over a hundred billion years old, once again reasonably used the rules to humbly survive under the fists of the two.
And speaking of which, while Saitama was still in a daze, Jupiter, which was far less intelligent than the wise universe, exploded in an instant.
This largest and fastest-rotating planet in the solar system, after the two had exchanged millions of punches on its surface, finally met its end.
A second later, the entire planet was covered in visible, deep craters, densely packed across hundreds of thousands of miles.
Then, this massive planet, with a mass of one-thousandth of the sun's, began to tremble violently under the constant barrage of punches. After absorbing all the damage, it exploded in an instant, turning into cosmic dust.
Saitama, who had just been thinking, only felt a violent push on his back, and then was sent flying up into the sky by the shockwave of Jupiter's destruction, heading towards the boundless universe.
Meanwhile, on Earth, a flash of black light appeared, and all the onlookers from the street reappeared at the entrance of City A's Hero Association.
"What's going on? Where's the fight?"
"Why did you come back? Wasn't the fight about to start?"
"My fight, huh?"
For a moment, the scene erupted into a cacophony of noise, and then a mournful cry cut through it all.
"No! No! No!!!"
Boros finally couldn't contain his emotions, and a stream of sorrowful tears flowed from his eyes, filled with immense grief.
"My strong fighter battle, all because of you, you dog! You made me miss the chance to watch a peerless fighter battle, ya!" Boros pointed at Blast, his voice laced with fury.
Blast, however, closed his eyes to sense the situation. After a few seconds, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Good. The Universe wasn't destroyed by those two a mere 0.01 seconds ago."
"What are you talking about? Why did you bring us back so quickly?" Child Emperor asked.
"Because if we didn't leave, I couldn't predict what would happen next."
Blast's expression was extremely serious. "The intensity of their battle is increasing exponentially. 0.01 seconds might not be enough to make this universe disappear, but now… Jupiter is probably gone."
"What!"
Everyone present was shocked, and Blast pointed at the camera. "It contains part of their battle footage. You'll understand when you slow it down."
"As for me, I'm going to Jupiter first."
Blast took a deep breath. "After all, One-Punch Man is still there, and I hope the environment there is still somewhat… intact."
With that, Blast disappeared from where he stood. When his figure reappeared, he was already in a space filled with cosmic dust.
Looking at the shattered planet before him, even with his prior expectations, Blast's heart still skipped a beat.
'It's good, it's not completely shattered. Jupiter will reassemble under gravity, and we should be able to handle the rest.'
Blast thought, then a figure was running on the shattered dust, and then whooshed in front of him, greeting him.
Seeing that Saitama was still alive, and except for a bruised face, he was fine, Blast couldn't help but be happy. Then, he grabbed his arm and took him back to Earth.
"Wow, finally back. It's easier when I can breathe," Saitama complained after taking a deep breath after returning to Earth.
"Teacher, your face!"
On the scene, Genos's face was full of shock, this was the first time he saw his teacher in such a sorry state.
"Hey, Baldy, who won the final battle?" Tatsumaki folded her arms, looking at Saitama's bruised face, she already had a guess.
"Who won?" Saitama scratched his head and recalled, "I don't know what happened, Byakuya disappeared early, but he should have won, otherwise, I almost got killed."
"Oh, I've already edited the footage from earlier," Child Emperor suddenly said, drawing everyone's attention.
"After I slow it down, you can all watch the fight. But I can't do anything about the part that comes after," Child Emperor said, shrugging.
On the other side, on the Sovereign Plaza, Byakuya's eighteen-meter-tall body appeared, still in a punching pose.
"Water Stream… Rock Smashing Fist!"
To prevent the instant death of 90% of the Reincarnators in the Sovereign Space, Byakuya instantly diverted the power capable of destroying a planet towards the sky.
In an instant, everyone around felt a gust of wind, and the terrifying gale directly blew them all away.
For a moment, only Byakuya was left standing on the originally bustling Sovereign Plaza.
"What's going on, how did I get back?" Byakuya said, retracting his hand, speechless. He clearly felt like the time wasn't up.
"Forget it, forget it, this battle... let's just call it a draw," Byakuya sighed.
He pulled out the Pym Particles shrinking device from the space, and in an instant, Byakuya's body returned to its normal state.
Name: Byakuya
Lifespan: 19/???
Strength: 9.7 → 7.1 + 0.6 Constitution: 9.8 → 7.2 + 0.6 Spirit: 9.6 → 7.0 + 0.6 Charm: 1.4+ Attribute Points to Use: 0.4 ...
Looking at the changes in his attribute panel after his constitution shrank.
Even after returning to his normal state, Byakuya's current strength was almost comparable to his former self after using Pym Particles.
However, these things no longer fazed Byakuya.
After all, the current attribute panel was just a power regulator for Byakuya, allowing him to increase his strength at will.
