My mind goes blank.

Behind the bald man, a deep valley with no end in sight appeared on the boundless surface of the earth. Thinking of Saitama’s fighting posture just now, the black sperm understood that it was the bald man who exerted force with his feet before making a move, and actually kicked off a huge piece of land on the vast stratum.

Is this… a human? Black Sperm was stunned.

He suddenly felt that he was given to the bald man by Long…it seemed that this was not necessarily a turning point, but the situation was getting worse.

When did humans become so terrible?

Pochi, who was riding under it, tucked his tail between his legs.

“Gone?”

Genos looked at the empty ground with a shocked expression.

In this fight, Mr. Oboro seemed to have not only separated the space from reality, but also taken the teacher away directly.

“There’s nothing we can do… It looks like we can only wait.”

Genos felt a little regretful.

He had wanted to watch this top battle among human beings again, hoping to learn some clues from it and absorb and utilize them.

Now the idea has failed.

But there was no other way. He also knew that this battle would be more intense and dangerous than the last one. With the strength of the teacher and Mr. Long, even with the space barrier blocking them, he and his two pets might not be safe.

As time passed, the scorching temperature in the Gobi Desert began to drop and gradually became cold.

In the blink of an eye, it was already night.

The sky was dotted with stars.

“It’s been so long…” Genos looked at the night sky, feeling uneasy.

The last time they fought, it didn’t take them this long to fight.

Nearby, Black Sperm had fallen asleep under a rock, leaning against Pochi.

The power of the black sperm is too weak now. Any powerful hero can control it, let alone Genos. So even if Saitama and Oboro are not around, it dare not act rashly. In contrast, it is the safest to follow Saitama.

A few hours later, it was already late at night.

Suddenly, a vortex like a black hole appeared in the void ahead, and a familiar figure jumped out of it.

The scalp reflected the light under the moonlight.

It was Saitama.

“teacher.”

Genos immediately stood up and ran up.

At this time, Saitama’s yellow combat suit was torn in many places, and only a small piece of the cloak was left on his back.

Although he was smiling, Genos saw a hint of fatigue on the teacher’s face.

“Where’s Mr. Oboro?”

Genos was shocked when he saw the black hole disappear.

“Well…he’s gone.”

Saitama replied with a smile.

“That……”

Genos opened his mouth to speak.

“Haha…of course I won!” Saitama seemed to know what he wanted to ask. He rubbed his nose with his fingers and said proudly.

“It’s just as I thought. I knew you would win, Teacher.”

Genos also smiled excitedly.

Pochi and Black Sperm on the side came closer.

“Come on, go home.”

“Yes.”

“Teacher, when will Mr. Long come back?”

“I don’t know…it shouldn’t take too long.”

“Teacher and Mr. Long have been sparring for such a long time this time. Did they encounter any difficult situations during the battle?”

“Well… how should I put it, although I won, it wasn’t that easy… He is still very powerful. The main thing is that he is stronger this time than before… In addition to that soul ability that I don’t quite understand, he also has some interesting tricks…”

Saitama and Genos walked side by side as usual.

Pochi and Black Sperm followed at his feet.

The two humans and the two weirdos walked under the silvery moonlight, getting farther and farther away.

“How should I describe it specifically? I think the truly terrifying thing about Long is his growth potential, or his learning ability?”

“I think… when he comes back next time, he will definitely become more powerful than he is now. If I fight him again then, I might be at risk of losing…”

“what?”

“It’s just an inexplicable feeling…haha.”

“Wang Wang!”

Several lingering sounds intertwined and echoed in the night sky until they disappeared.

……

A quarter of an hour after Saitama and his companions left, the space on the Gobi Desert was suddenly opened up again by a force, and a middle-aged man wearing white armor and a cloak on his shoulders stepped out.

After appearing, he looked around, frowning, “Huh… weird, this must be the place.”

This person is Blast, the No. 1 S-level member of the Hero Association.

“The spatial fluctuations here are the most unstable, which means that it was broken by someone not long ago. The coordinates of time and space cannot be locked… It seems to be very far away from the real earth, in another dimension? How did they achieve such a large spatial span? It’s amazing…”

Blast took a breath and muttered to himself.

Finally, he locked onto the direction in which Saitama and the others left, then hid in space again and disappeared.

The reason why he returned to Earth was because he sensed that a god seemed to have been killed a few days ago…

Chapter 686: The End and a New Beginning

Over the next period of time, Oboro continued to try to use his ability to travel through the various worlds of the One Punch Man multiverse.

Because there seem to be characters like Blast who can break through dimensions in some worlds, the so-called dimensional guardians, and these people are what Long is looking for.

He wanted to familiarize himself with the rules of time and space by investigating the abilities of these dimensional guardians.

He has now mastered the rules of space relatively well, but has not been able to control the rules of time.

However, the Earth where Saitama is located is the strongest plane in this multiverse, and Blast can only break through the barriers of space, and does not have the ability of time… Therefore, even if he has been “traveling” in various universes for a long time, he has not found a way to activate the ability to perceive time.

But Long knew that the rules of time did exist.

Because every time he arrived at a world, the plot didn’t seem to unfold according to the nodes in the original work.

Long wants to make sure that when he returns to full-time, some of the dead people… can be resurrected.

Because in full-time, he has some regrets…

It’s just a pity that no matter how hard he tried or how much he studied… he couldn’t touch the concept of time.

His ability to travel through time seems to be only bound to the active rules of space, while time is passive.

Therefore, most of his energy could only be focused on studying the gods imprisoned in the soul lamps, and then on improving his perception and mastery of space.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Long finally gave up.

He was very sure… that this world of one punch did not have the answer he wanted.

Although other multiverse worlds have some time-like abilities, they are too weak.

It will not be of any use when traveling back in time. Simply put, its ability cannot affect the progress of a world.

Before leaving, Long’s consciousness took the initiative to contact the Tree of Will of the One Punch World, and once again looked up at the uncle with lush branches and leaves that was deeply rooted in the universe and the stars.

It was as if the leaves covered with bright stars were trembling slightly, as if they knew he was about to leave and were saying goodbye.

“Well…I’ll come back as a guest.”

Long seemed to understand what the Will Tree was saying and waved his hand.

My originally tense mood calmed down.

The god was still in his hands, and he was afraid that the Will Tree would not let him leave with the ‘god’.

But just as he expected, the Will Tree didn’t care at all.

On the contrary, he is welcome to come again.

As for what he did in the One Punch Man world, the Will Tree didn’t care. For such a powerful Will Tree, even if Oboro did something that destroyed the direction and development of the world, it would not be a big deal. It could easily put the fate of all the characters back on track.

It’s not comparable to the will tree like in Demon Slayer and One Piece.

Long looked at the huge tree in front of him, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, “Do you understand the rules of time?”

The Tree of Will is the foundation on which the world currently functions.

Why didn’t I think of this before? Can I ask it?

Besides, this tree of will is friendly to him and has no hostility… Maybe it can help him solve his doubts.

This is the world will of the highest dimension.

Who would have thought that as soon as this exchange of thoughts broke out, the entire boundless universe suddenly burst into dazzling light along with the swaying branches of the Tree of Will.

Long closed his eyes instantly.

When he opened his eyes, his spirit had returned to his body and left the multidimensional space of Yiquan, appearing again in the colorful torrent of time and space.

Looking around, there are clusters of light spots of varying sizes and densely packed together.
