Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 649: Cube Man vs Caped Baldy (3)

"What the hell…"

Not far from the shattered star belt, Tatsumaki and Garou widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at the scene that had just unfolded: "What happened to those two?"

Even for such powerful individuals, they couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

Neither Garou's dynamic vision nor Tatsumaki's telekinesis could capture the figures of the two combatants, let alone understand what had just transpired.

From their perspective, Fang Mo simply got serious all of a sudden.

In a flash, the planet inexplicably exploded.

If Tatsumaki hadn't reacted quickly, they both would have been caught in the blast. This was a cosmic-level catastrophe, and even though both of them were top-tier in strength, there was no guarantee they could escape unscathed... they might not even survive.

While Tatsumaki and Garou were still in shock, Fang Mo and Saitama were already clashing again.

It must be said that after fully activating the power of the five dimensions, Fang Mo's strength was terrifying. He didn't feel any fear even when facing Saitama.

However, Saitama, now aware of the peculiar nature of Fang Mo's sword, swiftly raised his hand and caught Fang Mo's right wrist.

"Got you!"

Saitama said, raising his fist as a terrifying aura surged from him: "Serious Series... Serious Punch!"

"Hey, I can do that too."

Instead of dodging, Fang Mo raised his other hand, gathering immense power.

With the power of the dimensions, Fang Mo's strength reached unprecedented levels.

The Void Ring suddenly lit up.

Astronomical gravity began to converge inward, focusing.

In an instant, a faint white spherical force field appeared on Fang Mo's fist, quickly collapsing into near-total darkness.

Purple arcs of electricity flickered across the surface.

The extreme gravity distorted the space around Fang Mo like dough, making it appear twisted and bizarre.

"Serious Punch."

Without hesitation, Fang Mo threw his punch.

The two contrasting fists collided, freezing time and space for a moment, before an overwhelming force erupted.

At the site of Fang Mo and Saitama's clash, space collapsed into a dark void.

Unimaginable cosmic kinetic energy converted into light and heat, expanding madly like a stellar explosion in a radiation pulse.

A vast white sphere of light rapidly expanded, a terrifying shockwave combining Fang Mo's demonic power and Saitama's strength, covering almost half of the shattered star belt in the blink of an eye.

Everything touched by this force, be it meteors or any other objects, was obliterated into dust.

It was as if the entire shattered star belt was cleared, leaving a massive vacuum.

Despite the cosmic vacuum where sound cannot travel, the sight alone stunned Tatsumaki and Garou. Could you believe these two monsters destroyed a planet in a fight?

Regardless of what others thought, the battle between Fang Mo and Saitama was far from over.

Both had taken damage from their serious punches.

Saitama's arm and fist were bloodied from the cosmic energy and spatial rift.

Fang Mo's arm had been blown to ash.

Yet, thanks to the power of the five dimensions, his body had reached an extraordinary level.

Normally, Fang Mo would have been instantly killed by Saitama's serious punch, but now he merely lost a few health points, and his arm quickly regenerated without any visible damage.

Simultaneously, Saitama swung his fist again, aiming for Fang Mo's head.

Fang Mo frowned, using his newly regenerated arm to grab Saitama's wrist. For a moment, they were locked in a stalemate, each gripping the other's wrist.

But in the next second…

Fang Mo's hand suddenly loosened, and the enormous, pitch-black Abyssal Sword fell, floating in the space of the universe.

"Hmm?"

Saitama seemed momentarily stunned upon seeing this.

In the next instant, Fang Mo's thoughts shifted. It is worth noting that all of Fang Mo's weapons were heavily enchanted, including with the 'Loyalty' trait. In the Minecraft world, Loyalty enchantment is applied to tridents, allowing them to return to their owner after being thrown. In the real world, this trait resembles Thor's hammer or Stormbreaker, allowing for remote control and even some level of sentience.

Additionally, the sword was now enhanced with Shoggoth's power.

Therefore, the Abyssal Sword soon began to move on its own in space. Slowly turning in the vacuum, the sword's tip pointed directly at Saitama, then suddenly accelerated towards his chest.

"Serious Headbutt!"

Saitama's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this and immediately launched an attack at Fang Mo.

With a thought, Fang Mo summoned his Stand, Steve, who appeared in front of him holding a shield: "Steve Reflect!"

Saitama crashed into the shield with full force, releasing immense power instantly. The absolute reflection rule took effect, making Saitama feel as if he had crashed into his own fist. The terrifying recoil left his mind blank for a moment.

Fortunately, the recoil was so powerful that it flung Saitama away, with the Abyssal Sword grazing past him.

In the next moment, Saitama snapped back to his senses, having been flung far away and smashing into a piece of a meteorite. He raised his hand to rub his forehead, noticing blood flowing down: "Injured... When was the last time I bled?"

Despite saying this, Saitama looked extremely happy, feeling his heart ignite again, like parched land receiving a long-awaited rain. He felt an urge to laugh heartily.

This surge of excitement was something he hadn't felt in a long time.

"So, even gods can bleed, huh."

At this moment, Fang Mo suddenly spoke: "I'm not done yet, Saitama... Is this really all you've got?"

Despite the lack of any medium to transmit sound, their conversation flowed unobstructed, as if Fang Mo's arrival had altered some fundamental laws of the universe, blending with other-dimensional rules.

"Far from it."

Hearing this, Saitama smiled: "Looks like I need to get serious too!"

As he spoke, Fang Mo made a sudden gesture. Saitama, as if sensing something, quickly dodged. A giant sword brushed past his cheek and returned to Fang Mo's hand.

Seeing Fang Mo reclaim his sword, Saitama launched an attack without hesitation.

With a stomp, the meteorite beneath his feet shattered, and he charged towards Fang Mo like a flash of light: "Consecutive Serious Punches!"

This was extraordinary. The overwhelming flurry of punches, like a force capable of shattering the stars, assaulted Fang Mo.

Even Fang Mo dared not take it head-on. He used void teleportation and time-stop simultaneously, instantly appearing beside Saitama.

As Fang Mo anticipated, the time-stop effect was weak against Saitama, who only paused for a moment before twisting around and throwing a series of punches at Fang Mo.

Fang Mo's eyes narrowed, summoning Steve once again to block in front of him.

Saitama's combat instincts were extremely sharp, as if he had already understood the principles of the Stand rules. The punch in his hand paused for an instant, then he suddenly lifted his foot and hit Steve from the side.

There was a snapping sound.

A terrifying red number floated up.

139248421433

"What the hell!?"

Fang Mo could only shout in surprise when he saw this. The next second, Steve's vision turned red, and his life points were completely depleted.

However, he did not die. Instead, the magical light of the Totem of Undying suddenly lit up, and Steve's health bar instantly returned to normal. Fang Mo was very cautious and would never do anything reckless, so Steve always carried a set of Totem of Undyings as a means of survival.

To defeat Steve and kill him, the opponent would need to kill Steve sixty-four times in an instant.

"Hmm?"

On the other side, Saitama saw this and seemed a bit puzzled. Fang Mo's exclamation clearly indicated that his attack had worked, but he didn't feel anything.

In his confusion, Saitama raised his fist again.

"Za Warudo!"

But this time, Fang Mo didn't give him another chance to attack. He immediately activated time stop again, and taking advantage of the moment of lag, Fang Mo slashed his giant sword at Saitama.

"Serious Hand Chop!"

Of course, Saitama immediately broke free from the time stop. Seeing Fang Mo's attack, he quickly moved forward and chopped at Fang Mo's wrist with a hand chop.

There was a slicing sound.

The giant sword deeply cut into Saitama's shoulder.

At the same time, Saitama's hand chop whistled through the air and instantly cut Fang Mo's sword-wielding hand in two.

"Phew, now you..."

Although Saitama was in pain, he breathed a sigh of relief. That sword posed a significant threat to him.

But before he could fully relax, he suddenly saw Fang Mo reach behind him and pull out a large colorful shovel, smashing it directly into his face.

The force of this blow was terrifyingly powerful.

Before Saitama could finish his sentence, he was sent flying into the distance like a beam of light.

"Dammit, you dare kill my Steve..."

In the void, Fang Mo, holding the Planet Eater Shovel, couldn't help but mutter. Ignoring whether Saitama was conscious, he prepared his ultimate move. He reached into his inventory and pulled out the Longbow of the Heaven.

"I'll shoot you down!"

With a loud roar, an energy stream burst forth like a supernova.

"!!!"

Saitama, not far away, seemed to realize the danger and tried to dodge. But he was flying backward rapidly, and in the vacuum of space, he had no leverage.

He could only watch as the beam of light got closer.

In the end, Saitama had a sudden inspiration and exhaled forcefully to the side.

With this bit of reaction force, Saitama barely managed to shift slightly, avoiding a direct hit. Instead, only part of his body was hit by the beam, causing him to spin wildly like a top and crash into the largest asteroid in the shattered star belt.

It was a black-brown irregular sphere, vaguely resembling the core remnants of a shattered planet. The collision with Saitama seemed to make the already damaged star core show signs of further breaking.

"So painful..."

Saitama, smashed into the star core, couldn't help but wince in pain.

It was clear that Fang Mo's attack power had exceeded his expectations.

However, Fang Mo, far away, was even more shocked. Saitama still had two-thirds of his health bar left. This guy was incredibly tough. Although he seemed seriously injured, this was Fang Mo's full-powered Infinity Arrow.

An attack powerful enough to pierce through planets in the solar system couldn't even kill Saitama instantly. This physique could go head-to-head with Super Saiyan 3 Goku, right?

But Fang Mo vaguely remembered something.

It seemed that One Punch Man's author did mention that Saitama's combat power was comparable to a certain level of Super Saiyan... and it wasn't as exaggerated as some post-modern fans claimed; he had his limits.

"...So now I'm fighting a Saiyan?"

Thinking about this, Fang Mo seemed to realize something. Saitama indeed had many weaknesses against him, like being a sitting duck in a vacuum.

With this in mind, Fang Mo once again raised his longbow.

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Mo decided to place the Planet Eater Shovel on the bowstring.

"I refuse to believe this…"
