Chapter 7: Soul Immortal versus Saitama (Fight)
"Are both of them your masters?" Soul Immortal asked with anticipation, if Tatsumaki and Fubuki are really his master, then he would spare no effort just to be acquainted with the two masters of Saitama.
He's already the peak existence of his realm, one can ever consider him as the overlord of the realm, the sole ruler and the sole God, overseeing all the beings residing. His words are the Heavenly law and his orders are absolute. No one can question his authority and no one should ever defy him. Of course as the apex of his realm, he can decide the life and death of anyone.
But his aspirations are more than that, he wanted to be more powerful but he was without a master. Even now he was at the peak of his cultivation, the lord of his realm, he has no idea what is the next cultivation above his. He once thought that maybe he was already at the peak but he refused to believe so in the end. It was because of his instinct, his gut feeling, that there must be a level above his. He just don't know what is it.
A master of his should be above of his current cultivation, yet finding such person is already nigh impossible as he haven't have solid evidence of such being existing. That is why he took Soul Fiend as his disciple, for Soul Fiend has higher potential than him, he was gambling whether his disciple can indeed touch the boundary of the legendary yet unknown existences.
But if the masters of this man in front of him are those legendary figures, then the question he's been asking himself might be answered. That is why he was asking such questions.
Saitama was looking more confused then ever hearing the question of him having a master.
"Master? I don't have a master. Tatsumaki my master? That brat? Hell no." Saitama fervently denied. Thinking back, Saitama cannot help but smile wryly of Tatsumaki unreasonable behavior towards him in the past.
After hearing Saitama, Soul Immortal was startled. This person is so strong but masterless? Impossible! Even he have 3 masters before then finally overtaking them.
Soul Immortal became serious again, his gaze towards Saitama was full of caution.
"Then Saitama, I'll let you have the chance to attack first." Soul Immortal wanted to know Saitama's strength first before deciding on what to do.
"Ok then. Here I go." Saitama declared.
Saitama suddenly disappeared, appearing in front of Soul Immortal instanly. Forming a fist in his hand, Saitama intended to strike.
Soul Immortal was greatly startled, with miraculous reaction, thousand of thoughts ran through his head. Those thoughts contains the myriad ways of how to defend, counter, parry, negate and strike back Saitama's punch. But after a thousand thought he realized I was fruitless.
In just a split second, a thousand strategies and countermeasures passed through his head, after realizing everything was fruitless, in another split second with miraculous reaction he forcefully opened a space vortex, intending to transfer all the force Saitama's punch in a specific location he chose in the Dark Space.
Finally an ear piercing explosion appeared.
"Hey! That's unfair, you cheated! You opened a portal right now didn't you?" Saitama was acting like he was throwing a tantrum. With all different kinds of powers back there on earth, a portal appearing was no surprising at all for Saitama.
Although Saitama was not surprised, his opponent was not just surprised but was gobsmacked instead.
Soul Immortal right now was sweating buckets.
After the punch, Soul Immortal instantly opened a space vortex directing to the void of the Dark Space.
Ignoring Saitama's 'tantrum', he was shivering in fear, the moment Saitama threw his punch, his very entire being screamed with danger. His instincts was sending signals that screams with danger. For a moment, he had an illusion of himself being obliterated, completely ceasing to exist.
"I SURRENDER!!!" With very much difficulty, Soul Immortal shouted with clattering teeth. Never in his life did he appreciate being alive so much. He was extremely grateful for his instincts, for instantly opening up a vortex to redirect Saitama's punch towards the Dark Space or else he himself wouldn't be standing right now today.
An overlord of a realm, being defeated by a single punch. If someone knew this, surely they'll be frightened so much it will traumatized them.
'This power. Could it be!? " Soul Immortal was now thinking of the legendary figure. If he follow this maybe then maybe?
Just by thinking of it, Soul Immortal's fear and terror was replaced with incredible joy and excitement.
He looked at Soul Fiend, whose mouth agaped, obviously knowing what has happened.
"Go back to the Imperial Palace, ask the Divine Doctor Jeff to treat your arms, it is still not too late. Do not be humble in using the resources in the treasury in healing your arm, use as much as many as you can to heal it. You are the successor of the Palace, as of now you are the top priority. " Soul Immortal started to give orders.
"And take this token, this is the Overlord token, you'll be the acting overlord temporarily. Take care of all the affairs of the Soul Imperial Realm. I trust you in this. Now go." With a wave of his hands, he opened a space vortex leading directly to Soul Imperial Realm and sent back Soul Fiend.
Soul Fiend obviously knew why his master give such orders. One can see in his masters eyes the fervent expression of a student, anticipatingly waiting for his teacher's instruction.
Soul Fiend didn't dare to defy his masters orders. The thought of Saitama being his Grandmaster infuriates him. But thinking about the Overlord token and his position as an acting overlord, he was also excited.
After sending Soul Fiend back. Soul Immortal looked at Saitama, with fervent and excited eyes.
'Ugh, I have a bad feeling about this.' Saitama shuddered. He feels a deja vu of a certain event where he slapped a mosquito.
"Can-can I be your disciple?" Soul Immortal was incomparably excited, so excited that he bit his tongue. Even as a Martial Immortal, he wasn't embarrassed and asked Saitama sincerely.
'Yep, there it is.' Saitama thought.
"Absolutely N-" Saitama was about to decline but stop half way through.
Soul Immortal almost cried after hearing the first word, but was immediately again overjoyed when Saitama stopped. He was clearly thinking about the matter. Soul Immortal was so excited he was practically shaking right now. He now proved his hypothesis of legendary figures existing and what's more is that there is a chance of being a disciple of such figure.
'Now that I think about, I really don't want to go back to earth, at least not yet. It was boring there, how about exploring this world first before deciding? Besides, having a disciple is somehow okay. I wish I can bring Genos here, oh well." Saitama carefully ponders. After much consideration, he agreed of taking a disciple.
Soul Immortal was so overjoyed that he actually broke through to Rank 6 Martial Immortal to Rank 7 Martial Immortal.
