At this moment, Saitama, as third place on the Golden List, his eyes burned with fighting spirit, staring sharply at the sky.
Right at this moment, two streams of golden light were released from the Golden List, shooting straight toward the east.
The target seemed to be at the same location.
"They appeared!"
Saitama hesitated no more. He bent his knees and shot forward.
*RUMBLE!*
The ground cracked and collapsed, forming an extremely large hole.
Meanwhile, Saitama's figure had already disappeared into the sky.
Genos looked up at the position where Saitama disappeared, murmuring: "Sensei, just how strong are you really..."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
At the Same Time
In a dense forest to the east, there was a quiet house.
Kaiser lay on a rocking chair, eyes closed to rest, listening to the sounds of insects and birds, feeling very comfortable.
A black cat with an elegant posture was sleeping soundly on his stomach, its tail swaying slowly.
Suddenly, Kaiser opened his eyes wide.
In the sky, two streams of light rapidly split through space and came.
"Really troublesome! My position has been exposed!"
Kaiser waved his hand somewhat helplessly. The golden light streams stopped and floated in front of him.
The golden light shattered.
Two items appeared.
They were a pair of black fangs and a pair of pure white wings.
"Super Artifacts, huh. But they're still useless to me!"
Kaiser laughed and shook his head. He directly tossed both treasures casually to Kuro who was still pretending to sleep.
"These are for you!"
"Meow!"
Kuro woke up, meowing unhappily. Then, seeing both treasures, his large eyes shone, but then he batted them aside with slight disgust.
Kaiser chuckled: "What a greedy little creature, those are good items! Super Artifacts, they'll help your strength a little."
Kuro paid no attention. He lay back down and continued sleeping.
Suddenly, a tremendous air explosion sound was heard.
Kaiser looked up.
He saw a small black dot in the distance coming at extraordinary speed, and in the blink of an eye, that dot was already nearby.
The person wore a tight yellow outfit, a red cape fluttering, and his bald head was very eye-catching.
"Oh? Daring to break spatial locks with pure physicality, reaching such speed!"
Kaiser murmured with curiosity.
"Hmm, so you're the first place on that Golden List?"
Saitama looked at the man before him with curiosity.
So this is what he looks like, ordinary, doesn't look impressive!
However, Saitama himself was the type who pretended to be weak (but was actually very strong), so he knew not to judge people by appearances.
Kaiser glanced at Saitama, and said calmly: "Lucky young man, just go back to where you came from. The world will undergo major changes now, don't waste your time here."
Saitama clenched his fist, and said seriously.
"Since I went bald, no one has been able to withstand my punch anymore. Your rank is higher than mine, I want to try, if you can."
"Meow—"
At that moment, Kuro lying on Kaiser's lap raised his head and glared at Saitama angrily.
'This baldy dares disturb my sleep, and even dares challenge my master. Really doesn't know his place.'
Kuro suddenly leaped, his body rapidly enlarging in the air. The shadow of an incomparable and majestic beast rose from the ground behind him, lunging toward Saitama.
"Ohhhhhh!" Saitama immediately got excited, his fighting spirit soaring unprecedentedly: "Looks very strong!"
Saying that, he pulled his fist to his stomach, the red gloves slowly glowing, and he suddenly threw a punch.
*BOOM!*
Instantly, heaven and earth changed color.
Kuro's terrifying shadow in the air trembled violently. Kuro showed a shocked expression, as if surprised by Saitama's terrifying strength.
But the next moment, his mouth opened, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye shot out.
Saitama was thrown like a broken kite, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The entire forest was split, creating a terrifying dividing path, with no end in sight.
"Meow—"
After sending Saitama flying, Kuro's body quickly shrank back to its original form.
He jumped back to Kaiser's side and lay down. He meowed softly with half-closed eyes, as if asking for praise.
Kaiser laughed and patted his head.
"Now that the three realms have merged, I've hidden my information. Even the Golden List above cannot detect it specifically. However, someone can chase the speed of the reward thrown by the Golden List without intercepting it midway."
Kaiser looked in the direction where Saitama disappeared, and nodded slightly.
"This young man named Saitama has very good strength. No wonder he was rated third place by this Golden List."
This was an acknowledgment of Saitama's strength.
While speaking, Kaiser looked up at the sky.
Above the Golden List, a pair of eyes seemed to open again, staring sharply at this place.
Kaiser squinted his eyes, and smiled slightly.
"I've wandered too long through many dimensions. As a dimensional wanderer, I also need a place to settle. Originally I just wanted to choose one of these three realms, but I didn't expect this thing to forcibly merge all three realms."
"Wanting to select representatives from the three realms this way to oppose me, and prevent me from obtaining the world's source? How ridiculous!"
Kaiser had seen through the Golden List's purpose.
As a dimensional wanderer, his existence was on the same level as the Golden List above.
Therefore, although the Golden List was aware of his existence, due to the limitations of its own rules, it couldn't investigate his specific information, and couldn't even forcibly descend due to their different origins.
Kaiser was not originally an inhabitant of this world, but accidentally got swept into the chaos currents of space and time after his death.
However, his soul was protected by a mysterious substance and wasn't torn apart by the chaos currents of space and time.
The chaos currents of space and time were filled with infinite source power of space and time, as well as mysterious objects flowing from various dimensions.
His soul wandered, merged, and devoured many things in the chaos currents of space and time.
Finally, one day, his soul found a dwelling place.
In the Naruto World, due to the Ōtsutsuki invasion, chaos in the human world, and the destruction of chakra energy, space and time became unstable.
Kaiser followed the space-time cracks and successfully entered it, and successfully possessed a human body.
He hid in the Naruto World for years. Due to his soul's power, he could almost increase his strength infinitely without needing to train.
In just a few years, he realized this world could no longer contain him at all.
He even felt like he could control heaven and earth, as if he were the law of heaven and earth.
After that, he left the Naruto World and experienced countless dimensions. His strength grew at every moment.
At the same time, he also discovered that secretly there was another existence equal to him watching him.
He had a premonition that if his strength continued to increase uncontrollably like this, perhaps someday he could manifest into rules and become the master of this world.
But he would also lose his human soul, because the rules of heaven and earth don't need emotions.
This was the path that must be taken to become Dao (Natural Law).
Therefore, to delay becoming stronger and find a solution, he settled in the One Punch Man World.
Meanwhile, the Golden List was the incarnation of part of the rules.
