Chapter 489: The One-Eyed Emperor and the Bald Emperor

"Finally..."

"It's over?"

The S-class heroes who had been bandaged up and taken to a temporary medical care center sighed in relief as they watched the Juubi's huge body disappear into the void, leaving Saitama floating alone, via satellite transmission of the battle in space.

They couldn't help but look up at the sky, but all they could see was blue, and they couldn't see the battle with the naked eye from an unknown distance.

"The monster has been repelled."

Kid Emperor, his left arm bandaged from a fracture, sat, looking at the image projected on one of the screens, and muttered.

He looked at Saitama floating in space with a look of incomprehension, he could not understand Saitama's power, and with his wisdom he could not figure out the answer.

"To be able to stop a monster like that in space... besides him, I guess only KING-san could do it, but in any case, it's lucky he was there, this mess was able to reduce the damage to this level, with almost no casualties."

"Well..."

Tanktop Master, who was lying next to him, nodded.

Even Tatsumaki was obviously no match for that kind of power, and the only human hero who could have done it was KING.

Aside from KING's legacy of "flying into space with a meteorite big enough to blow up the solar system and throw it into a black hole", "traveling back in time to stop a meteor swarm from attacking Earth and save all of humanity", "practicing on the Moon". And added to the legends of "creating a crater" is the story of the Bald Emperor stopping a "God Level monster" in space.

Yes, that's right.

God Level Monster!

After seeing the battle in space with his own eyes, no one thought that the "One-Eyed Emperor" was a being that could be defined as a Dragon Level Monster, his power went far beyond that of Dragon Level Monster!

...

A few days later.

The incident about the eccentric "One-Eyed Emperor" was resolved by the Hero Association.

The One-Eared Emperor's level of Disaster was unquestionably recognized by all S-class heroes, as well as all the staff and managers of the Heroes Association, as superior to the Dragon Level, an unprecedented God Level monster, and the most powerful of all known monsters!

According to information received from Saitama, the opponent was not actually defeated, but simply chose to retreat and not continue fighting.

That meant that the threat of a God Level Disaster still loomed over their heads.

However...

However, this did not cause any panic, as the disaster caused by the One-Eyed Emperor had been stopped by Saitama, and in the opinion of the Hero Association, if the opponent dared to reappear, then King and Saitama would be notified immediately.

With Saitama's power and KING's fighting ability, even a God Level monster could be defeated and killed.

Based on this unprecedented God Level disaster, Saitama, who was originally at the bottom of Class C, was recognized by the Hero Association for crossing the Class B and Class A levels to reach the eighth rank of Class S!

In seventh place is KING, the strongest man on earth!

The Heroes Association asked KING for his opinion on this event, and KING had no problem with Saitama moving up to 8th place in S-Class, just one place behind him, and with a loud sound of 'Motor King', he gave Saitama his approval.

Having reached 8th place in S-Class, and with the battle being broadcast to almost everyone, Saitama soon received his hero's name, a title recognized by all S-Class heroes of the Hero Association and most civilians.

The Bald Emperor!

Although Saitama himself expressed his displeasure with this title, it became a fact that could not be changed, as everyone had begun to call him that.

Aside from Saitama's rise in the rankings, there have been no changes in the rankings of the other S-class heroes, and it is worth noting that the Hero Association has a history of monsters.

In first place is the One-Eyed Emperor, a God Level Disaster!

Second is the One-Eyed Elder, a Dragon Level Disaster who appears to be of the same race and is just as powerful as the One-Eyed Emperor.

Other monsters, such as the King of the Underworld and the Elder Centipede, have been moved down two spots by the new One-Eyed Emperor and the One-Eyed Elder.

...

Space.

Near the asteroid belt.

Among the countless broken meteorites, a huge white image appeared out of nowhere, which, shrouded in brilliant golden light, gradually changed from illusion to solidity.

On closer inspection, the golden light appeared to consist of a giant clock, but neither the golden light nor the white image would be visible if anyone were actually nearby.

For it is not simply an illusion that has become solid, nor has it been transported from another dimension, but has been adjusted from the scale of time.

The white image does not exist in the "present".

It is jumping from the past to the "present".

Swish!!!

The illusion solidified, the huge white image finally became solid, the time frequency adjusted to the "present", and landed on top of a huge meteorite.

Anyone else in the vicinity could only see a blurry image before them, and the Juubi, thousands of feet in size, appeared there, unable to see the golden glow or the process of transformation from virtual to reality.

Whoosh!

After landing on a meteorite, the Juubi's body twisted and expelled a white goo, about a tenth of its size, from its interior.

The white goo landed on another meteorite not far away, and quickly twisted, transforming into a smaller Juubi, Lilith, who had separated again from Yeruashi.

"Is this... the past tense?"

Lilith, still in a semi-controlled state, looked at Yeruashi and asked.

Although she couldn't sense the existence of the illusory clock, nor could she reach that power, but due to the power of the Chakra Fruit, she can understand and judge everything, and that movement now wasn't the power of the Chakra Fruit in her perception, so it could only be Yeruashi's time jump.

Yeruashi looked at Lilith and replied, "No, this is the future five days after the previous time, but now we should call this the 'present'."

He had jumped five days into the future.

He was half out of control, unable to use his spatial abilities like Yomotsu Hirasaka and Hiraishin, and the only thing unaffected was the power of the illusionary clock.

So the only way to end the battle comfortably was to jump forward or backward, and he chose five days later, which was neither a short nor a long jump.

There was silence in space.

The communication between the Yeruashi and Lilith was also on a spiritual level.

When Lilith heard Yeruashi's response, she said somewhat strangely.

"Why not the past?"

Saitama, who had just suppressed Yeruashi, should have a weak past, and Yeruashi could easily kill his opponent from the past by returning to that past.

Yeruashi understood Lilith's meaning, smiled softly and said, "It's rare to meet an opponent who can really fight with me, wouldn't it be too boring to kill him in his weak past?"

Lilith didn't really understand the concept of manners, but that didn't stop her from agreeing, in any case, everything her father had decided was correct, and not understanding it meant that she needed to learn more from Yeruashi, to gain more knowledge about the human race.

Lilith whispered, "I didn't think there really was anyone in this world with the power to stand up to Father."

She was born in the One Piece world, and from the moment she was born, she had power to beat everyone in the One Piece world, and the only one more powerful than her was Yeruashi, but she later learned from Yeruashi that there were more worlds.

Even though she knew it beforehand, she still felt a little upset when she met a being who could fight against her father in terms of power.

"There will be stronger people in other worlds."

Yeruashi smiled nonchalantly and looked around.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing and darkness all around, and it was hard to find Earth from here, just as it was hard for a normal person to find the location of Mars on Earth with the naked eye.

After passing a few nearby stars, Yeruashi found the direction of the earth.

However.

Instead of taking Lilith back to Earth, he continued on into the asteroid belt, where he gathered a large amount of meteorites.

Since Saitama had returned to Earth a few days earlier, satellites in the direction of Earth were already monitoring the asteroid belt, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Yeruashi in the asteroid belt if it didn't explode in combat.

After all, even if Yeruashi in his Juubi form is big, he's still too small for space.

Into the darkness.

Two more hours passed, and the two Juubi in the asteroid belt, one large and one small, began to writhe and shrink at the same time.

After a period of conflict, the power of the Chakra Fruit no longer conflicted with the rules of this world, and both Yeruashi and Lilith had returned to normal.

Whoosh!!!

A few moments later.

Yeruashi returned to his human form, standing on a huge meteorite.

Lilith had also regained her human form.

"Finally fully adapted."

Yeruashi stretched his body, clenched his fist and, feeling completely normal again, reached out and opened a spatial channel with Yomotsu Hirasaka.

He reached into the spatial channel and picked up two pieces of clothing, grabbing one with his left hand and throwing the other in Lilith's direction, smiling faintly and saying.

"Come on, get dressed, it's time to go back".
