Boom!
Accompanied by the roar of fist wind tearing through the atmosphere, black fist shadows filled the sky, completely enveloping KING.
Snake, Lightning Max, and the others in the distance were already pale, their bodies instinctively trembling.
Facing this world-destroying aura, they felt as if they could be crushed at any moment.
But they were not panicked, because at the very center of that storm stood that man.
The man known as the strongest man on earth—KING.
Sure enough, the next second.
At the center of the destructive black storm, Lin Mo still stood his ground, merely raising his left hand slowly.
His movement was not fast; in fact, to an ordinary person, it might have seemed somewhat careless.
Yet, this single hand seemed to transform into an insurmountable chasm.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of dense thuds exploded, and Lin Mo's left hand became a blur.
Every heavy punch from Garou, no matter how tricky the angle or how ferocious the power, was dissolved into nothingness the moment it touched that palm.
He caught them.
He caught all of them.
Moreover, from beginning to end, he only used his left hand!
"Decent boxing."
Lin Mo's extremely calm voice drifted from the center of the storm.
"What?!"
Garou's pupils constricted violently, and his heart skipped a beat.
Facing his ultimate, prideful martial arts, how could this man appear so relaxed?
An unprecedented feeling of absurdity surged into his mind.
"Impossible!!!"
Garou let out an unwilling roar, and his attack speed skyrocketed once more!
However, no matter how much he accelerated, the left hand blocking him seemed to predict the future, always precisely intercepting his attacks.
In Lin Mo's eyes, Garou at this moment was not an unbeatable Monster, but a Martial Artist riddled with flaws.
Every one of his movements, every rhythm of his breath, appeared to Lin Mo like slow-motion playback.
The Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist was indeed powerful, even touching the threshold of the God level.
But it was only the threshold.
"How can this be... Why can't I hit him... Why can't I even make him take a single step back..."
The more Garou fought, the more startled he became. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness rose from his heart and quickly spread throughout his body.
He felt as if he wasn't facing a person, but a vast and boundless ocean.
No matter what kind of attack he launched, he couldn't stir up a single ripple.
Finally, after yet another full-power punch was easily neutralized by a slight flick of Lin Mo's wrist, the immense counter-shock force left Garou's arm numb.
He had to use this reaction force to leap back several dozen meters, creating distance.
"Hoo... Hoo... Hoo..."
Garou half-crouched on the ground, his chest heaving violently. His single eye was bloodshot as he stared intensely at the man not far away.
Lin Mo, at this moment, maintained his stance, hands hanging loosely at his sides.
He even had the leisure to brush some dust off his shoulder.
Silence.
A deathly silence enveloped the entire battlefield.
The support troops in the distance were all holding their breath, their minds blank.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Lightning Max swallowed hard, his voice dry. "That kind of attack, which we couldn't even see clearly, was stopped with just one hand..."
"That is KING..." one of the B-Class Heroes exclaimed, his eyes filled with fervor. "The strongest man standing at the summit..."
Even the usually composed Saitama couldn't help but rub his bald head and mutter:
"KING is seriously strong."
Center of the battlefield.
Garou bit down hard on his teeth, the sense of powerlessness in his heart intensifying.
But he didn't break down.
On the contrary, this desperate situation only hardened his unyielding will.
"It's not over yet, I haven't lost!"
Garou shakily stood up, his body emitting loud cracking sounds.
"I am Garou! The strongest Monster who has hunted countless Heroes and overcome countless life-and-death struggles!"
"If you are the mountain named 'Justice,' then I will cleave this mountain in half!"
Crack!
The ground beneath Garou's feet instantly shattered.
This time, he did not use that kind of wide-ranging chaotic strike.
He compressed all the power and all the techniques in his body to the extreme, concentrating them on his fist.
This was another epiphany forced upon him by KING's flawless defense during their previous exchange!
Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist: God Slayer Instant Strike!
There was no sound of wind, no afterimage.
Garou's figure vanished into thin air, instantly reappearing less than half a meter in front of Lin Mo.
A punch imbued with his entire conviction shot straight toward Lin Mo's chest.
He was certain that this punch would blow a hole through even a descending god!
However.
The moment his fist was about to make contact with KING's chest.
He saw KING's eyes.
They were eyes so calm they induced despair.
There was no surprise, no fear, only an indifference that disregarded everything.
Boom!!!
A tremendous crash.
Garou's killing blow, his right fist, froze in mid-air.
It was caught firmly by a single palm.
A terrifying blast of air roared past Lin Mo, instantly sweeping away debris for several kilometers behind him, carving a deep trench.
But Lin Mo did not budge.
"Is this your limit?"
Lin Mo looked at the astonished Garou, who was standing right in front of him, and spoke calmly.
"Not bad."
"You've gradually moved beyond the realm of technique and begun to touch the edge of rules. But your mental state is too chaotic."
"The so-called Martial Way cannot be strengthened just by roaring."
After speaking, Lin Mo released Garou's hand.
At this moment, the world stood still.
Lin Mo stepped forward.
He bent his right arm back and threw a seemingly simple straight punch.
This punch was impossible to dodge and impossible to block.
It landed squarely on Garou's chest.
Time began to flow again.
"Pfft—!!!"
Garou spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was instantly sent flying backward!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His body crashed through more than a dozen ruined buildings before finally slamming heavily into the base of a crumbling tower.
Rumble!
The tower could no longer withstand the impact and completely collapsed, burying Garou in the dust.
One strike.
Just one strike.
That "Absolute Evil," who had just been brimming with confidence, was completely knocked away just like that.
"What happened?"
Snake looked utterly bewildered.
From his perspective, the scene was disjointed: Garou charged in front of KING, Garou vanished, and then the distant building collapsed.
Someone who didn't know might think Garou had run into it himself.
Of everyone present, including Garou buried under the rubble, only one person clearly saw KING's move.
"No wonder KING is so good at video games."
Saitama rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "Hmm—wait."
"Then I should be really good too..."
