Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 648: Cube Man vs Caped Baldy (2)

"Whoa!!!"

With an exclamation, Fang Mo felt an unprecedented force coming at him.

Without any pause, his body transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot. The atmosphere along the way was pierced through, the ground shattered, and he crashed directly into a mountain range.

The mountains were penetrated, countless rocks and soil collapsed in an instant, rolling down like a flood.

The entire mountain seemed to be broken in half, while Fang Mo continued his momentum and slammed into the ground, creating a huge rift in another plain.

When he finally stopped, Fang Mo couldn't help but curse.

"Damn, what kind of damage is this!"

While he was complaining, a surge of air arose in front of him, and Saitama's figure appeared once again before Fang Mo. At this moment, he was obviously excited, raising his fist to strike at Fang Mo's face again.

"Damn it, I can't take this anymore..."

A spherical time field expanded around Fang Mo, and everything around instantly dimmed, as if all things were frozen in this moment. Naturally, Saitama's fist was no exception, and he was seen maintaining his punching posture, halted in place.

Seeing Saitama frozen, Fang Mo mercilessly launched his attack.

He raised his hand and slashed towards Saitama's shoulder, simultaneously using instant movement, his left hand's Leviathan cut towards Saitama's back neck, then instant movement again, Clausolas slashed diagonally towards Saitama's waist... In an instant, he struck hundreds of times, Saitama's entire body was shrouded in a dense flurry of sword lights.

Fang Mo had used this move before in his battle against Boros.

And the effect was unexpectedly good. At that time, Boros was chopped into a pile of minced meat by Fang Mo's move.

But it must be noted that Fang Mo was now facing Saitama, so he did not dare to relax at all. Since his time stop duration was not limited to five seconds, he continued to slash relentlessly. Even if it was like scraping, continuously scraping would still wear a person down, right?

However, what Fang Mo did not anticipate was that while he was continuously attacking Saitama, the next second, Saitama moved, delivering an uppercut. Fang Mo immediately used instant movement to dodge.

But after Saitama threw this sudden punch, his body quickly lost its color again.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, Fang Mo was visibly strained. This Saitama, as the protagonist of One Punch Man, truly defied logic, breaking free from the time stop with his physical body?

But thinking about it carefully.

This guy was indeed quite outrageous...

If not mistaken, in the reboot version, Saitama even punched a crack in the mental world of Phoenix Man, interacting with him inside. Besides that, there were also bizarre moves like 'kicking open a portal' and such.

So thinking this way.

It seemed reasonable for him to break free from time stop.

After all, Saitama was much stronger than Star Platinum, and if even Star Platinum could do it, Saitama had no reason not to, right?

Thinking this, Fang Mo simply lifted the time stop.

And the moment the time stop was lifted, Saitama on the opposite side was hit with thousands of slashes at once. His whole body seemed to explode like a nuclear weapon, light and heat instantly engulfed everything around. In an instant, a huge mushroom cloud rose, and the whole planet seemed to shake violently.

But in the next second.

Saitama had already burst out from inside.

Yes, even before the shockwave of the explosion had time to spread, Saitama had already burst out.

Of course, he didn't look too good now. As Fang Mo said, continuous scraping still took a toll, so some parts of his skin were visibly cut open, with a few blood streaks seeping out.

But compared to the destruction of the surroundings.

Saitama's injuries at this moment were probably just like being scratched a few times by a cat.

Even Fang Mo couldn't help but marvel at this sight. This Saitama was indeed no easy target, even in the reboot version. His body was simply too tough.

Fang Mo had just used the divine weapons of light and fire, wielding the power of Celestial Ego, which was quite formidable. If he had directly slashed the surface of Mars... by now, half of Mars might have been shattered by him. But when used on Saitama, it only broke his skin?

Thinking of this, Fang Mo glanced at Saitama.

Then he concentrated, and the blood bar module ability he had unlocked earlier was activated.

Soon, in Fang Mo's vision, Saitama's name appeared above his head, followed by a green health bar.

But unlike other people's health bars, this guy's health bar was quite long.

Exactly how long was it?

Fang Mo squinted and estimated that the opponent's health bar looked like a building lying flat and extending over his head, measuring at least several dozen meters long.

As for the numerical value displayed:

It showed as [524288/524281].

Then, under Fang Mo's watchful eye, the missing 7 points of health suddenly jumped back, filling up completely.

Additionally, beneath this health bar was an armor value. Normally, this armor value is represented by a small shield icon; typical armor values are depicted by a few iron shields.

For monsters with thicker hides, they are represented by several diamond shields.

However, in Saitama's case, it was simply a massive pile of black shields, which Fang Mo couldn't even comprehend.

"...Are you kidding me!"

Witnessing this scene, Fang Mo's mental state was visibly shaken. Saitama's health is over a hundred times that of the dragon-level monster Boros, and his minor attacks weren't even close to matching the regeneration rate. Can you believe it?

Honestly, Fang Mo was now quite confused.

Saitama's abilities are so outrageous… How did the revamped Garou even dare to challenge this guy?

In his memory, the two of them seemed to have fought to a draw?

Fang Mo decided that once he returned to the main world, he would go back to Earth through the Dream Gate and relay this battle to Murata in a dream... so he could experience firsthand how unmatchable Saitama is.

While Fang Mo was lost in these chaotic thoughts,

Saitama, not far away, suddenly spoke.

"You're indeed very strong."

Saitama wiped a trickle of blood from his shoulder, his entire being visibly ignited, looking at Fang Mo with blazing eyes and said, "I thought I could only experience this in my dreams…"

But Fang Mo, staring at the excited Saitama before him, was concerned about something else: "...How are you able to breathe here?"

"No idea."

Saitama scratched his head indifferently: "I thought I wouldn't be able to breathe, but holding my breath was too uncomfortable, so I tried taking a breath, and it surprisingly worked."

"This is beyond absurd…"

Fang Mo couldn't help but remark.

"Is it?" Saitama seemed unaware of the peculiarity, subconsciously touching his head: "So, have you reached your limit? Are you done?"

"Damn it, who would admit that?"

Fang Mo was instantly displeased: "You like cheating, huh? Fine, let me show you what real cheating looks like…"

"Is that so?"

Saitama didn't understand what cheating meant, but he could tell from Fang Mo's tone that his opponent still had strength left, which made him even happier: "Great, bring it on then!"

"Genshin, activate!"

With Fang Mo's loud shout, a terrifying aura soared to the sky, overwhelming magical energy surged out, making everything around as bright as daylight.

In the midst of this dazzling light,

Fang Mo got serious.

Drawing power from the pure white space, the abyssal wasteland, the land of terror, Omothol, and the dark realm, Fang Mo continuously extracted energy from five dimensions. His eyes gleamed with a cold silver light, his entire aura becoming extraordinarily fierce. A heavy pressure swept across the entire planet, continuing to extend outward.

Yet this was just the beginning.

At that very moment, Fang Mo suddenly released his grip, and both Clausolas and Laevatein fell to the ground. He then drew a giant purple-black sword from behind his back.

Immediately, Fang Mo's mind stirred.

The master sleeping in the Shoggoth Abyss was awakened.

A vast darkness, as immense as the ocean, appeared out of nowhere, transforming into a deep vortex that gradually merged with the giant sword in Fang Mo's hand, ultimately forming an Abyss Sword that seemed capable of swallowing light.

Although the power of the Abyss Sword was not as strong as the light and fire swords, Fang Mo had summoned the Shoggoth Abyss. In other words, the sword now wielded the power of an entire dimension, akin to Fang Mo single-handedly wielding Dormammu to strike someone.

"Hmm? What is this..."

Saitama's expression visibly showed surprise at the sight.

He was not the only one stunned; Garou and Tatsumaki in the distant sky were also speechless.

Garou was somewhat prepared; during his fight with Boros, the latter had vaguely hinted at Fang Mo's overwhelming strength, describing him as an invincible monster who could play with the laws of nature between life and death as mere toys.

However, Tatsumaki had a different reaction.

She now realized that Fang Mo hadn't used much strength in their battle, yet he still overpowered her.

Now it seemed that Fang Mo was getting serious.

Of course, Saitama was also incredibly strong, capable of trading blows with Fang Mo. However, now that Fang Mo was using his true power, what would the battle between them look like? Could the planet beneath them withstand it?

Tatsumaki suddenly understood why they chose an alien battlefield.

Yes, if this fight were on Earth, it could cause a god-level disaster. The mere aftermath of their battle could potentially destroy all human civilization, or even the entire Earth.

"Well, this feels good."

Having unleashed his full power, Fang Mo couldn't help but enjoy the sensation. The feeling of being empowered by the dimension, the sense of control... it was fantastic, almost omnipotent, as if everything in the world was in his grasp.

"Is it coming?"

Seeing Fang Mo's state, Saitama also got serious, his demeanor instantly shifting, transforming from Grandpa Maruko to Ikkaku Madarame.

Meanwhile, Fang Mo launched his attack.

"It said, go ahead." Fang Mo glanced at the sword in his hand and then vanished. The ground disappeared in an instant as he charged at Saitama, delivering a powerful overhead slash without any superfluous words.

"!"

Saitama instinctively wanted to catch the blow, but a sudden sense of unease made him change his move mid-air, dodging sideways.

Fang Mo's sword struck empty air.

The vast darkness tore the sky and earth, splitting the world in two. As the black light faded, an endless rift appeared on the ground.

From space, one could see a black halo piercing through the planet, splitting it as if it were cut in half.

In the next moment, the two halves of the planet, pulled by gravity, came together again, causing a massive quake that spread across the entire planet. Even the nearly cooled core lit up with intense light, spewing magma like blood, almost painting the entire surface red.

Saitama sensed something, turning his head to look.

He saw the apocalyptic scene, momentarily stunned: "You..."

Before he could finish, Fang Mo launched another attack, punching Saitama in the stomach. Despite his monstrous strength, Saitama's consciousness blanked for a moment, his health bar dropping slightly as he was sent flying diagonally downwards.

With a boom, Saitama crashed into the rift Fang Mo had just created, disappearing into the rock face.

Fang Mo immediately pursued.

But in the next second, a voice rang out.

"Serious Mode... Serious Table Flip!"

The world fell into an eerie silence, followed by a terrifying earthquake. The ground before Fang Mo roared and was lifted into the sky.

From a distance, it looked like a massive black wall had appeared on the planet.

And this was just the beginning.

Soon, under the cataclysmic force, mountains, plains, continental shelves, and the entire crust were upheaved. Gravity seemed like a joke, and the entire planet, trembling in agony, quickly disintegrated into an innumerable debris field.
