PNB Chapter 168 Meteorite Impact.
Chapter 168 Meteorite Impact.
The world of One Punch Man.
On the side of an empty road, a golden vortex suddenly appeared, and a bald man wearing a straw hat walked out from it, carrying a huge package on his back.
As he stepped out of the golden vortex, the golden vortex immediately disappeared.
"This trip was really fun. Although I didn't encounter any strong opponents, I made some interesting friends."
Saitama muttered to himself, looked around, and realized that his home was nearby. He then carried his bundle, which jingled as he headed home.
"Emergency Disaster Notice! Emergency Disaster Notice! A massive meteorite is about to strike Z City. Disaster Level: Dragon! All Z City residents are urged to proceed to shelters immediately..."
As Genos flew through the air, he witnessed the panic among the people on the ground and felt a sense of unease.
With Saitama, his teacher, absent, and Mr. Lin Yu also absent, can he cope with this disaster alone?
"I have no choice but to give it my all!" Genos landed on the top of a tall building and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, a huge meteorite, like a messenger of doom, streaked across the heavens. Its enormous size and speed caused the surrounding air to ignite due to friction, turning the entire sky into a sea of fire.
"The meteorite is falling in three minutes. Can I stop this disaster?" Genos was filled with questions. Faced with this overwhelming sense of oppression, he felt suffocated like never before, even more suffocated than when a group of children were beating him up.
Om-! ! !
Suddenly, the roar of turbines ripped through the sky, and a huge metal robot landed in front of Genos.
"A new face in S-class?" Metal Knight's voice came from inside the robot, and even though it was an electronically synthesized voice, it couldn't hide his arrogance and confidence.
“Bofoy, are you here to help destroy the meteorite?” Genos asked.
“No, I’m just here to test my new weapon. As for the meteorite, that was just a side thing,” Metal Knight replied.
“But if I fail, you will die too,” Genos continued.
"I won't put myself in danger. The person you're talking to is just my remote-controlled robot. I'm in a safe place," Metal Knight replied, his tone revealing absolute confidence in his own safety.
“Since we’re both S-class heroes, you should address me by my hero name; that’s common sense,” Metal Knight continued, his tone filled with pride in his S-class hero status.
“If you can’t destroy the meteorite, can you stay and help?” Genos asked again.
"That's too naive. If I can't do it, then no one can, unless those two superpowered individuals come along," Metal Knight said confidently.
“I’m not going to risk losing my robot for such a tiny possibility.” He refused Genos’s request.
Seeing Metal Knight launch his attack on its own, Genos realized that his equipment had its limits and it seemed that Dr. Kusno needed to make further modifications.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the roar, Metal Knight's tactical missile barrage struck the meteorite, but only left a few deep craters, unable to avert the impending disaster.
"Failed? Now it's all up to me. But if even Metal Knight's firepower can't destroy it, can I do it? Even if I do, won't a secondary disaster sweep through the entire city, causing even greater destruction..."
Genos was filled with hesitation, and the pressure made it difficult for him to act.
"Stay calm, Genos." Bang's voice rang out behind him. As a member of the Hotpot Team, how could he let a meteorite destroy Z-City?
"The more critical the moment, the more you need to relax, because the outcome is already irreversible," Bangu comforted him.
"Relax during a crisis?" Genos thought of Saitama and Lin Yu.
He took a deep breath, combined the power unit on his chest with the cannon barrel on his left arm to form a stable triangular support, and decided to launch an attack regardless of the consequences.
"Super Burning Spiral Cannon!" he shouted, unleashing a powerful energy cannon that struck the meteorite directly.
The energy cannon, like a blazing tornado, carrying boundless heat and impact, instantly tore through the air and hurtled straight toward the meteorite.
Wherever the artillery fire passed, the air was compressed into dazzling streaks of fire, as if to set the entire world ablaze.
Bang observed the meteorite in the sky and said, "I feel that the impact of the meteorite has weakened."
"Really?" Genos felt a little more at ease.
"No, no, no, it must be my imagination."
puff! ! !
Genos was so angry he almost spat out engine oil. He couldn't understand Bang making such a joke at this moment, as a robot himself.
Ten, nine, eight...
He counted down the energy reserves of his incinerator, and when he counted to "one", the energy cannon suddenly disappeared due to fuel exhaustion.
"Will this be my final resting place?" Genos, having exhausted all his energy, glanced at Bang and asked.
"Why do we have to deal with this kind of thing as soon as we get back? Where are the other S-class heroes from the Hero Association?"
Saitama then appeared before everyone and looked at Genos and Bang, who were also S-class heroes, and said...
"teacher......"
"Hey, Saitama's here." Bang greeted him.
"The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can go home!"
Saitama then squatted down, the force of his legs causing cracks to appear on the roof of the entire building.
Immediately afterward, he leaped up, punching the massive meteorite head-on, shouting, "Please don't let this thing land in my city!"
With Saitama's shout, his fist, carrying unparalleled power, struck the meteorite instantly like an invisible shockwave.
The meteorite shattered like glass under this punch, with countless fragments scattering everywhere, as if the entire sky had been torn apart by this punch.
"As expected of Saitama, his destructive power is truly astonishing."
Bang exclaimed in surprise, but quickly adapted to the scene; after all, he had seen the word "death" many times before.
"In short, this can be considered a crisis resolved."
Saitama landed on the ground and looked back at the city he had been protecting.
However, the city appears to be facing a second blow from the fragmented meteorite.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept across the sky like a knife, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.
The entire sky was instantly covered with a thin layer of white, as if by magic, and fine, light snowflakes began to fall.
Immediately afterwards, the meteorite fragments that Saitama had shattered with a single punch were instantly frozen by this sudden freezing power.
The fragments, which were originally still hot, were instantly enveloped by a thick layer of ice crystals, as if time had frozen at that moment, freezing them in mid-air.
These frozen meteorite fragments, like enchanted crystals, shimmered with an eerie blue light before shattering into countless tiny ice shards in mid-air, scattering like a dazzling rain of ice crystals that eventually drifted gently down to every corner of the city…
