144 Chapter 126 : Serious Table Flip!

[With the final strike, Garou ceased its assault!]

[Yet, there was no trace of anger or defeat on its countenance, for it could not assail its opponent!]

[Now that you've halted, it becomes my turn.

[With those words, Saitama unleashed an unassuming punch at Garou!]

[Boom~]

[The sound of the air being disturbed reverberated, giving a glimpse of the impact such a punch would have!]

[But, in the very next moment, doubt flickered in Saitama's large eyes.]

Not only Saitama found himself perplexed, but countless onlookers were also equally mystified!

Because, astonishingly, the punch had missed its mark!

[Boom!!]

[Saitama launches another assault, delivering punch after punch towards Garou!]

[Yet, Garou, like a seer, effortlessly dodged Saitama's attacks!

[Moreover, he seized the opportunity to counter while Saitama was executing his punches, landing a punch squarely on Saitama's bald head!)

[And the onslaught continued!]

["Divine Executioner's Instant Strike!!]

[In an instant, a multitude of fist shadows materialized. Saitama attempted to evade, only to find the opponent's fists altering their course, and he unwittingly collided with them!)

[Bang Bang Bang!!!]

[In the blink of an eye, Saitama was pummeled by hundreds of punches!]

[The combination became increasingly fluid, captivating Garou, who eventually shook his body and emitted a roar:]

["Divine Executioner's Strike!]

[Boom!]

[At this juncture, an unexpected straight punch emerged from below!]

[In an instant, Saitama was struck under the chin and sent airborne!)

Off-screen, numerous viewers were left dumbfounded, their eyes reflecting confusion, unable to comprehend the unfolding events!

Within the confines of the Hero Association,

Observing the inquisitive gazes around him, Silver Fang Bang took a deep breath and elucidated:

"The speed and strength of both sides remain unchanged, and there's only one reason why Garou can connect with Saitama."

"The key lies in the mastery of Ultimate Fighting, an understanding of martial arts elevated to another tier!"

Yet, the comprehension remained elusive for many. Seeing this, Silver Fang Bang could only offer a wry smile:

"In simpler terms, Garou flawlessly anticipated Saitama's post-punch intentions!"

"Then, he adapted his attack once more!"

Speechless and awestruck, everyone grappled with the revelation!

Though it sounded straightforward, those unacquainted with martial arts knew that executing such feats bordered on the fantastical!!!

What an awe-inspiring martial arts prodigy!!

[Gazing at the airborne Saitama, Garou sported a confident smile 

"You are the secret weapon surpassing Tornado in the Hero Association!"

Off-screen, the expressions on the faces of the heroes and association leaders were truly awkward!

Without this footage, who would have guessed that the bald hero was such a formidable force!

[In the next moment, Garou strikes again!]

[At this critical juncture, he appears to descend from the heavens, flawlessly predicting every move Saitama makes!

[A barrage of punches relentlessly lands on Saitama!]

[As Garou attacks, he laughs in pure delight:]

["I possess speed and power akin to a monster!]

"But you lack any real combat experience!!"

[Comment!]

[After knocking Saitama down with another punch, Garou's face is filled with joy!]

[Such victories over the weak make him immensely proud!]

[Garou extends his index finger, slowly shakes his head towards the bowed Saitama, and declares in a firm tone:]

["Admit defeat, there's no chance for you to win!!!"]

*clap clap clap!!*

Boros is in a good mood now, applauding others for the first time!

"It's truly excellent martial arts.

However, in the next moment, he changes his tune:

"But it's still a bit rigid in form. For me, any moves are useless!"

"Only speed, strength, physical defense, and ultimate physical coordination matter!!!"

Off-screen, there is fascination in the eyes of Garou!

His future self has finally achieved the lifelong pursuit of martial arts!

This feels incredible!

He will be invincible in this world!

["Are you finished!!]

[Hearing this impatient voice, Garou's eyes show curiosity!]

[Can you still speak after such a severe internal injury?!]

[However, he immediately understands in his heart, and a disdainful smile appears at the corner of his mouth:]

["Yes, you must be holding on!)

"Hehe, this is the so-called hypocritical face of a hero, it's ridiculous!]

["I think you're only talking now because you can't take punches, and you're stalling."]

[Saitama finally can't bear it anymore:

["Noisy!!")

["Hoohoo Wai Wai, Wai Wai Ho Ho, why do you have so much nonsense to talk about!"")

["What are you doing standing there?"]

["Aren't you going to fight!?]

[Garou is stunned by what he said, unsure how to counter...]

[At this moment, Saitama slowly raises his head, and the tone becomes serious:]

["Do you think I'm weak.."

["If that's the case, it doesn't matter if I get serious!]

Off-screen, Genos' heart tightens!

In this moment, it's as if he sees the enormous fist that covered the sky and sun again, and the word "death" occupies his entire mind!

Genos shudders. After so many days, just thinking about it now makes his forehead sweat!

Hero Association.

Everyone's eyes are full of suspicion!

The strength before them is already incredibly exaggerated, how could it get stronger!?

In the Shinigami realm, Aizen wore a stern expression!

This bald head has always seemed out of place to him!

"Are you approaching..."

And numerous onlookers are both doubtful and anticipating this moment!!

It's difficult to fathom what feats this bald head can achieve!

[Suddenly, Saitama transformed into a striking figure, his face became chiseled, and he retained his handsome, bald appearance!]

[In the following moment, he slowly bent down, inserted his fingers into the ruins, and then gradually opened his mouth, declaring:

["Killer Move: Serious Series...]

[At that very moment, Garou sensed something and his eyes widened, a disconcerting feeling creeping into his heart!]

[Soon after, a voice akin to the proclamation of judgment echoed.

["Serious Table Flip!!!!]

(…)

[As soon as the voice resonated, the zombie man lifted his hands upon seeing the B-level hero, whose name he didn't even know, just over ten meters in front of him!]

[In an instant, it felt as if he were in a small boat on a stormy, tumultuous sea!][

And before his eyes, a black barrier suddenly materialized!!!)

[No!!!]

[Not a barrier!]

[The zombie man gasped, unable to believe what he was witnessing!]

[That's the ground!!]

[A massive piece of land of unknown dimensions had been laid bare!!!]
