Chapter 6 - Episode 6

Sorry, there are no sex scenes this time.

On that day, a mysterious giant space battleship attacked City A.

Let's go back a little while in time.

The Hero Association made an emergency call for all S-class heroes in response to the prophecy " " left behind by the great prophet Shibabawa before he died , and all of the S-class heroes except for the number one ranked Blast and Metal Knight, along with the B-class hero Saitama who had somehow come along, gathered at the Hero Association headquarters in City A.earth・ball・but・super・Ya・B・stomach・

The explainer, a man named Sitch, was telling the heroes about Shibabawa's prophecy and urging them to prepare for a major disaster that was expected to occur within the next six months. At that moment, a giant space battleship suddenly appeared and attacked, leaving City A in a state of devastation.

Incidentally, there was one luxury apartment building that somehow remained unscathed, but they had no idea about this.

That aside, the S-class heroes went outside and immediately began fighting back. Silver Fang, Atomic Samurai, Metal Bat, and Puri Puri Prisoner engaged in combat with the monsters that had descended to the ground.

Of all the S-class heroes, the most outstanding was none other than Tatsumaki the Terror. She used her overwhelming psychic powers to stop the countless shells that were being dropped from the battleship, and then used those shells to attack the giant battleship floating in the air.

The sight of her calmly wielding her powers while scolding other S-class heroes gave us a glimpse of her abilities and self-esteem.

As soon as the commotion began, Saitama broke through the ceiling and entered the giant battleship, defeating the combatant-like creatures that appeared one after another, and proceeded deeper into the ship, smashing through walls and ceilings, until he came face to face with a man.

The man with the large, single eye, blue skin, and heavy armor was named Boros.

Boros, the leader of the Dark Matter, a dark bandit group that attacked City A, calls himself the ruler of the universe and ravages the universe, but he finds fighting boring because of his own immense strength.

However, one day, a certain fortune teller made a prophecy that there was a being on Earth that could fight on equal terms with him.

The Boros came to Earth after 20 years, seeking an equal fight.

"I'm convinced now. I can feel your powerful energy just by looking at you. You are the man of prophecy. Come on, give me some inspiration in my life."

Boros is laughing ferociously and Saitama has an expressionless face.

Although they are in different positions, they are overwhelmingly powerful and share the same feelings, and now they have come face to face.

-------------

The battle between Saitama and Boros was extremely fierce.

Their attack and defense were like teleportation, and a thunderous roar echoed every time their fists and legs collided. The battle between the two, which exceeded the limits of living beings, did not last long.

Boros' destructive ray, which he used with his trump card "Meteoric Burst," which releases energy from within his body and increases his physical abilities, collided with Saitama's serious attack, causing the tremendous impact to explode the already dilapidated battleship in the aftermath, sending it crashing to the ground.

When the smoke cleared, Saitama was standing there, while Boros, his lower body blown away, lay on the ground. Boros, who was somehow managing to stay conscious with his natural vitality, laughed lightly and spoke to Saitama.

It wasn't an equal fight. You had the luxury of time. I was no match for you, it wasn't even a fight.

"...Prophecies are useless after all."

Saitama turns his back on Boros and starts walking away.

"You were too strong."

The sound of hands clapping reached Saitama's ears. When Saitama turned towards the source of the sound, he saw a handsome young man with dark skin sitting on top of the rubble.

The young man, with his left leg bent and his right leg dangling, stopped clapping and, with a gentle smile on his face, stepped down in front of Saitama.

"Who are you? A hero?"

"No, that's not it. I'm Shinra. If I had to say, I'm your fan. That fight just now was amazing. That last punch was especially incredible. A true hero's blow. It's a shame there aren't any other spectators. Well, even if they were there, they'd just die in the aftermath, so it wouldn't make any difference in the end."

Shinra, a young man who speaks fluently and lightly, approaches Saitama step by step without showing any sign of impatience, even though the battleship he is on is about to crash.

"Hey Saitama, why did you become a hero?"

"Huh?... Well, because I wanted to be one. I don't know why, but I wanted to be like an anime hero... I think."

Saitama was confused by the sudden question, but answered anyway.

"Okay, next. Do you think you're cut out to be a pro hero?"

"..."

"You don't think so, do you? You feel like something's not what you wanted to be, right? I get it."

Shinra looks straight at Saitama and continues his persuasive conversation.

"I too aspired to be a champion of justice. To help the weak and crush the strong. A hero like that. But it didn't work. My sense of justice was not understood. I saved many people, even at the cost of my own life. And yet, of all people, it was the very people I helped who denied my sense of justice. I realized this too late. The general public is like that. They ask for help, but then they strongly demand responsibility for failed justice. Isn't that strange? Is it wrong if we don't help? Is it wrong if we fail? Why should we help those idiots who make a fuss from their comfort zone? Don't you think so? "That's a long story! Just get to the main points!"

The moment Saitama interrupted, the battleship crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar. There was a tremor like an earthquake, but neither of them lost their balance.

"Oh, sorry. I got carried away. Yeah, so what I'm saying is... why don't you quit being a hero for a while and come remake the world with me?"

"Remake it?"

"That's right. I said that earlier, but I also believe that there are people who should be saved. So we need to eliminate all other people and start from scratch and increase the number of people who understand justice. Then we can stand up as heroes of justice. It's impossible to eliminate evil from this world, but if there is absolute justice and people who understand it, the world will be enveloped in lasting peace. For that to happen, we need strong people with justice like you. So, why don't you come with me?"

Shinra stopped in front of Saitama and held out his hand.

Saitama stared at the hand and slowly opened his mouth.

"...No, I'm fine."

"...Right. I understand."

At Saitama's words of rejection, Shinra puts his hand back looking a little sad, but then easily backs down.

"Hmm, it's unfortunate, but if he says he doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do. I'll go home for today. Oh, before that, I think I'll go meet the S-class heroes. I've never shown them before, so I'll just say hello and declare war on them..."

Shinra thought about going to meet the S-class heroes who had just gathered, so he turned his back on Saitama and started walking with a light step.

"Hey."

However, Saitama called out to Shinra's back. Shinra stopped moving and, without turning around, asked, "What?"

"You said earlier that you would eliminate people who shouldn't be helped, but are you serious about that?"

"ah"

"...Then I can't let you get away."

When Shinra turned around, a fist was approaching him.

There was a moment of silence, and then the next moment the battered and half-destroyed battleship was blown to pieces.

-------------

The S-class heroes on the ground were confused, as the giant space battleship did not just crash, but also caused a huge explosion.

A huge cloud of dust rose up, and as the heroes, including the late-arriving A-class number one heroes Amai Mask and Metal Knight, looked up, two shadows leaped out of the smoke.

Shinra and Saitama landed at the same time, just a few meters apart, and they stared at each other, ignoring the ruined city and the spaceship.

Saitama clenched his fist as if to confirm his position, while Shinra swept away the dust with his hand, which was enveloped in a mysterious light.

With just one light shake, the dust that had filled the air dissipated and the view cleared.

"...He's the B-class guy who was at the meeting earlier..."

"...Who's the other one? He looks human."

The S-class heroes are suspicious of the two who suddenly appear.

At that moment, Shinra, with a refreshing smile on his face, spoke to the heroes around him.

"Hey, hello, heroes. My name is Shinra. Nice to meet you. ...Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not the boss of this ship, nor am I an alien."

Shinra spread his arms out in an exaggerated manner, and as he spoke, he looked over at each of the heroes who were casting wary looks at him, and continued.

"I plan to destroy the Hero Association soon and create a new symbol of justice, so I'll be your enemy anyway. That's why I came to say hello."

"Destroy the Hero Association?"

Genos, ranked 16th in S-class, asks again with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Yes. I don't believe in the justice of the Hero Association. I don't like the people in charge either. That's why we need a new justice. And people who understand that justice."

The moment Shinra finished speaking, the space around him distorted, as if being crushed by something invisible.

If you look closely, you can see that Shinra's body and the surrounding rubble are covered in a faint green light.

"Enough long story short. So you're the enemy."

The person who did this, Tatsumaki the Terror, focuses her powers around Shinra, trying to crush him with her psychic powers. To her, what the enemy says doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is whether they are an enemy or not. Once she knows that, all she has to do is use her own strength to overpower them.

"Huh?!"

But, however.

"That's sudden. Tatsumaki is terrified. I wish she would at least listen to what I have to say. But I guess it can't be helped."

The man continues talking as if nothing had happened, and his expression of composure breaks.

Of course, he wasn't serious about it, but it was still powerful enough to defeat many monsters without them being able to do anything.

"Here you go."

Shinra took a strong step forward. With just that, the power that had been covering Shinra disappeared, and Tatsumaki's body was thrown back a little.

The heroes are astonished at how Shinra can easily withstand and neutralize Tatsumaki's psychic powers, which are among the strongest even among the S-class heroes, but they are still top heroes, and they instantly identify Shinra as an enemy and launch an attack.

Atomic Samurai gets behind Shinra, and then attacks him from the front with his metal bat.

Shinra caught the fatal blow aimed at the neck and head and threw him away.

Jumping in to replace the two was a massive, muscular man with jet black skin, a short-haired man wearing a tank top and a super alloy black gleam, Tank Top Master.

He stopped Chogokin Kurobikari, who was tackling him with muscles that were inflated to an unimaginable size for an ordinary person, with one hand, dodged Tank Top Master's right straight by twisting his neck, and kicked him in the exposed stomach.

"What?! You stopped my muscles with one hand?!"

"Guh?!"

After being kicked away, Tank Top Master plunges into the rubble, and Chogokin Kurobikari is flustered as his muscles, which he had been so confident in, are stopped.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shinra swept Super Alloy Black Vibrator's leg and blew Super Alloy Black Vibrator away with his palm thrust out like a Fa Jin.

"Flash Slash"

However, Shinra crouched down low without even looking at the person he had blown away.

Immediately afterwards, a slash surged out at the exact spot where Shinra's neck had been, leaving an afterimage.

"A flash of light? As you say, it's fast."

The man with long golden hair and a sword was preparing to cut off Shinra's head, and Flash glared coldly at Shinra, but a drop of sweat was running down his cheek.

At this point, the heroes' movements come to a temporary halt.

He realized that it would be a bad move to attack this man who could easily handle several S-class heroes.

Even Silver Fang and Tatsumaki just glared at him without launching any attacks. Amai Mask didn't look anxious either, but he didn't launch any attacks either.

"...Well, I'm going home for now. ...Oh! Anyone who wants to walk the path of justice with me is welcome, so feel free to come. Of course, you'll have to leave the Hero Association though. ...See you, hero. See you again."

Shinra waved goodbye as if to a friend and then teleported away from the scene.

The heroes who were left standing there in a daze had a variety of expressions on their faces.

While each of them had a different expression on their faces - humiliation, impatience, interest, shrinking, fear - Saitama alone remained expressionless, staring at his fist.
