Saitama vs Cai Sicong
"40 Fists of the North Sea: Crushing Wake!" Cai Sicong yelled as his arms became a blur of movement.
His eyes squinting as he watched his opponent's hundreds of karate chops heading towards him, Saitama raised his fists as his own arms kept up with the barrage to block them. Despite the chops not hurting him, the bald villain could tell that a normal person would have been utterly obliterated by just one of the deadly moves.
"Well done in keeping up with me, my hairless friend," the cultivator master commended his foe, before his calm face became a confident smile. "But alas, my mind and body can transcend the physical world. It isn't just my physical attacks that you need to watch out for…"
It took a second, but Saitama soon became aware of dozens of detached, otherworldly arms appear from behind Cai Sicong, where they too began to chop at the caped baldy. Despite dodging well, the villain simply couldn't keep up, and he was eventually swatted by one of the chopping, ghostly limbs.
Another massive crater formed over the solid rock as Saitama was blasted into the ground, where he was pushed around 900 feet into the stony expanse.
"Well done, floaty man, you've tickled my funny bone! HAHA!" the bald clown laughed in the hole, glaring up at the cultivator as he hovered above the crater. "But uhh…are these attacks supposed to hurt me? I mean I'm sorry to say, buddy, but these are pretty lackluster…"
A vein in his forehead twitching, Cai Sicong kept his composure as he began to float higher and higher above the ground. His eyes glowing blue again, the God-like man raised an arm and a gargantuan sphere of sharp-red energy began to appear in his hand.
"I don't like burning down a house just to kill an ant, but you've left me no choice," Sicong explained. "I'm currently condensing the energy of a supernova into a concentrated beam, which I will shortly fire at you. Farewell, child. May you be less annoying in your next life."
"A supernova? HAHAHA hit me, baby!" Saitama roared with laughter.
Shaking his head at the villain's confidence, Cai Sicong complied and after teleporting to 100,000 feet above the expanse of stone, aimed his hand down and blasted an enormous beam of red energy down at his opponent. The entire dimension became awash in furious red energy as nearly 500,000 square miles of solid rock were obliterated by the destructive force.
His eyes widening as the planet-busting threat barreled into him, Saitama was pushed hundreds of thousands of feet deeper into the seemingly infinite amounts of stone. His body completely overwhelmed and crushed by the titanic amount of energy, with his brand new suit disintegrating, the bald villain was impressed to find that he felt the mildest of burning sensations.
"Well gee, another 3 and a half hours under this beam here and I'll probably be dead!" Saitama laughed to himself as he reached a million feet underground. "This guy is pretty strong, I'll give him that! Makes me curious, I wanna see how much HE can take!"
Rearing his fist back, the caped baldy exerted himself for the second time in years and put his back into his next attack.
"Actually Serious Series: A Real Serious Punch!" Saitama yelled as he was pushed deeper and deeper into the ground.
Millions of feet away from his opponent at this point, Cai Sicong suddenly felt a disturbance in his attack. The brilliant red beam that was shooting from his hand suddenly began to waver, where he realized too late that it was in the process of splitting in half. A gargantuan blow slammed into the cultivator, sending him blasting upwards as Saitama's attack reached him.
Winded from the intense punch, Sicong spat blood as he clutched his chest, where his mind reeled from sustaining damage for the first time in centuries.
"Calm mind," the God-like man whispered to himself as he slowed his ascent with a deep breath, where he froze in midair with the ground far below being nothing but a distant shape. Realizing that two of his ribs were broken, Cai Sicong used a powerful healing spell on himself, where his body mended within minutes.
"Well, he's more than an ant, I'll give him that. I'd say he's more of a rabid dog," the cultivator admitted to himself as he spread his arms. "High Spirt Art: Devine Spirit Doubles!"
Suddenly, 10 identical clones of Sicong emerged from his body, 5 of them on each side of him. With each having the same power of the original, the spirit copies dived towards where Saitama was utterly buried deep within the center of a massive crater that could have fit Earth's entire moon in it.
"FULL POWER: CONSECUTIVE FULL POWER PUNCHES!!"
The caped baldy's booming voice sent shockwaves that reached every corner of the pocket dimension, where Sicong's eyes widened in shock as his hyper-senses detected something he hadn't felt in years: danger.
Watching as the 10 clones of his foe raced towards him, Saitama had finally used an attack that required all his current strength in the form of another giant barrage of punches. Although the equivalent of a normal person putting actual effort into a punch, it had been long since he'd had to use anywhere near 100% of his current power. Even the blow that he finished Superman with during their first fight was a mere 50% effort or so.
The clones seemed to freeze for a second as they collided with the punches, where they all attempted to erect energy barriers that were promptly shattered.
Cai Sicong yelled in pain as he felt everything that his copies felt all at once, where each one of his duplicates had been reduced to a bloody pulp in midair. Grinding his teeth, the cultivator wasn't done yet.
After bending his knees to jump, Saitama soared out of the million-foot hole in the stone, which had been significantly widened by his recent attack, and landed back on the flat surface of the rock expanse.
"Well done, floaty guy, you made me use a real, actual-effort attack!" the now-naked villain clapped as his opponent teleported a few yards away from him. "I mean, dealing with 10 more of you would have been a hassle! I had to nip that in the bud. I'll be real, this kind of fun is the exact thing I needed to unwind!"
"This battle could go on for years, I mean I still have plenty of stamina," Cai Sicong said as he glared down at his nude foe. "But you have a very dangerous ability. You've been scaling up to my power level this entire time…and I'm not sure how long it'll be before you surpass me. As much as I yearn for challenge, you've proven yourself to be a potential threat."
"Awe shucks, well thank you!" Saitama replied with blatant sarcasm. "But tough crap HAHA you're fighting this thing to the end! Don't you dare rob me of this much fun!"
"No, I'm not just calling it quits, I'm leaving you here in this dimension to rot," Sicong hissed as he raised a hand. "You can punch to your heart's content over here, but you'll never break out. Farewell."
With a snap of his fingers, the cultivator vanished, leaving an irritated Saitama standing there, tapping his foot.
"Well that was rude, way to leave me hanging, jerk!" the villain complained as he reached for his mother box. "Oh crap, I must have left that thing back down the hole when my clothes burned off!"
Forced to free dive back into the gargantuan crater that he'd been blasted into, Saitama went to retrieve his traveling device with the intent of pursuing one of his most exciting opponents in years. His twisted mind spinning with the ways that he was going to kill the cultivator protagonist, the jokerized man giggled as plotted his next move.
