Chapter 107: The Destruction of B-City
B-City.
"Emergency evacuation notice, emergency evacuation notice. A giant unidentified lifeform has appeared in D-City and is approaching B-City. Nearby residents, please evacuate as soon as possible."
"I repeat, emergency evacuation notice, emergency evacuation notice. A giant unidentified lifeform has appeared in D-City and is approaching B-City. Nearby residents, please evacuate as soon as possible."
The disaster alarm in the central park continuously broadcasted the alert, urging the residents of B-City to head to shelters.
*Rumble!*
However, Marugori's pace was incredibly fast. With legs that could stride hundreds of meters, he walked from D-City to B-City in just a few steps. Looking down at the humans scurrying like ants, he swatted casually. Wherever his palm passed, all the buildings collapsed like wooden blocks with a deafening crash, clearing out an entire area in the blink of an eye.
Fukegao watched the city district turn to ruins in an instant, greatly excited. "That's right! This is how you do it! Wipe everything clean! Let them witness our terrifying power!"
Marugori kept muttering, "I am the strongest man, I am the strongest man, I have surpassed King to become the strongest man..."
Fukegao looked at his own masterpiece—his giant younger brother, Marugori—with a thrilled expression. He really wanted to ask Marugori how it felt to be the strongest. "That's right, little brother! You've become the world's strongest man! How does it feel? Now that you've become the strongest..."
However, he was only halfway through his sentence when someone suddenly interrupted...
"So what's it like, becoming the strongest?"
"Huh?"
Forcefully interrupted, Fukegao was stunned. He quickly looked towards the source of the voice and immediately saw a person also standing on the giant's right shoulder. Dead-fish eyes, a bald head, a yellow jumpsuit, a white cape fluttering in the wind, red boots, and dishwashing gloves...
"There's someone still here?!"
Fukegao stared at Saitama in shock. When did this bald egg get up here?
Saitama looked at Marugori with his dead-fish eyes and said with a completely serious face, "Please put on your underwear!"
"Damn you!"
Seeing Saitama completely ignore him, Fukegao was furious. He pointed a finger at Saitama and shouted, "Little brother, get rid of the guy on your shoulder!"
Marugori froze for a few seconds, as if thinking, or perhaps he hadn't heard Fukegao's command clearly. After a moment, he seemed to understand the order. A palm the size of a basketball court slammed down on his own shoulder, swatting the person standing there—Fukegao—like a mosquito.
"Hmm?"
After swatting, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He opened his palm to look and saw a human-shaped paste in his thick palm, with some white clothing stuck to it.
Silence!
Utter silence!
The air was quiet for several seconds...
"Brother!!!"
Marugori finally reacted. His whole body trembled as he screamed in anguish, "Why did it have to be like this?! I just wanted power! I had just become the world's strongest man! Why... Why did you have to leave me, brother?! Why..."
"Heh heh!"
Saitama covered his ears with both hands, watching the grief-stricken Marugori with a foolish grin.
*This is the pain one must endure when pursuing ultimate power!*
"Hmm?"
Marugori's peripheral vision caught the foolishly grinning Saitama. He flew into a rage, his palm swatting towards Saitama and grabbing him, clutching him tightly in his hand.
"I don't know who you are, but you caused my brother's death! You... you can go die too!"
He raised the hand clenching Saitama high, then slammed it viciously onto the ground.
*Boom!*
A sound like rolling thunder erupted. Saitama crashed into the earth, sending countless fragments of rock and tile flying.
"Die... Die..."
Marugori leaped high, his foot, as big as a cruise ship, stomping down on Saitama. Then, without pause, he began to pummel the ground where Saitama was with his fists, each the size of a small mountain, like a machine gun.
"Strongest... This is the power of us two brothers!!"
His expression was savage as he used all his strength to hammer Saitama's body, blow after blow.
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
A series of giant booms that could be heard for miles rang out. The city district where the giant stood was filled with swirling dust that blotted out the sun.
"Hey, hey, hurry and run!"
"Lady Fubuki, hurry and get off the train! The train is about to be buried!"
"We're dead!"
On the railway tracks not far from the giant, the train King was on was hit by the shockwaves from the giant's punches on the ground, causing it to roll over instantly. The surrounding ground collapsed and split apart. It looked as if the train was about to be buried by earth and rock...
"Hell—Storm!"
A green glow flashed around Hellish Blizzard's body as she unleashed her powerful psychokinesis in an instant. The train immediately exploded like an overinflated balloon, its wreckage scattering in all directions, but the people inside were miraculously unharmed.
"Ah, I'm being blown away!"
"Lady Fubuki, save me!"
"Ah, help! I'm afraid of heights!"
Hellish Blizzard's "Hell Storm" not only blew the train apart but also sent the people on it flying helter-skelter. Some were even blown high into the sky. The intense shockwave caused many to lose consciousness.
King didn't notice any of what happened to the train at all. The moment the train broke apart, he had already used his flight ability to shoot into the sky, gazing from afar at the giant that towered into the clouds.
"So this is the giant brother, huh? If I'm not mistaken, the person he's punching right now should be... Saitama, right?"
His eyes lit up. His target for this trip was Saitama; he hadn't expected to run into him halfway.
"I'll wait. I'll go over after Saitama takes care of the giant brother."
He stood in mid-air, watching as the giant continued to pound the earth.
*Rumble!*
After a while, Marugori finally stopped punching. He panted slightly as he looked at the city area before him, which he had pounded into a massive crater. Clenching his fist, he said earnestly, "I am the strongest!"
However, as soon as he said this, he couldn't help but think of Fukegao. He opened his palm and looked at the human-shaped stain in the center. Tears suddenly fell. "So what? What does it matter now that I've become the strongest?"
He had achieved his dream, but now he had nothing left to strive for, and he had lost his brother. Being the strongest... it felt so lonely.
He stared fixedly at the stain that was his brother, his expression desolate. "It feels so empty!"
"You're right!"
From within the giant crater, Saitama's calm voice suddenly sounded. Immediately after, the very bottom of the crater burst open. Saitama shot out from the ground like a launched rocket, heading for the giant's head. His fist was clenched, and before the giant could even react, he slammed a heavy punch into its skull.
*Boom!*
Under that one punch, Marugori had no strength to resist at all. He was killed instantly by Saitama's single blow. His enormous body crashed backward.
"You weren't wrong. Overwhelming power... really is boring!"
Saitama looked at the instantly deceased Marugori, his face full of boredom. His heart didn't even feel a stir of excitement. Killing the giant was as simple as drinking water or eating a meal; it required no serious effort at all.
*Rumble!*
Marugori's mountain-like body crashed down. A cloud of dust rose up, crushing large swaths of the streets. The last remaining part of B-City was flattened into ruins.
"Huh?"
Saitama stared blankly at his "masterpiece."
B-City!
Destroyed!
