Chapter 179: Mission Card, Entering the World of One Punch Man!
Soon, the reward for the second place on the Potential List was also distributed. This reward belonged to Kumoko. Quickly, two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first item was a Fifth-Rank Golden Pill.
While the Fifth-Rank Golden Pill was quite good, it didn't provide much help for Kumoko, who had already reached the Immortal Path level.
The second item was a card, a type of card never seen before.
[Mission Card: After using this card, you will be transported to another world. Complete the mission provided by the card within the specified time. Once the mission is completed, you will receive a great reward. If the mission fails, there will be no reward.]
[Fourth Raikage: A mission card, another brand-new type of card!]
[Tsunade: From the description, it seems that using the Mission Card allows you to go to other worlds to complete tasks. That's pretty good—it's like traveling to other worlds!]
[Mei Terumi: I also like the sound of the Mission Card. If it allows for traveling to other worlds, it would be an amazing experience!]
[Kushina Uzumaki: I'd love to travel to another world as well.]
"Kumoko, the Mission Card sounds awesome. Are you going to choose that?" Honghong asked.
Kumoko nodded. "I'll choose the Mission Card. After all, the Fifth-Rank Golden Pill doesn't help me much. It's better to take a chance with the Mission Card. Plus, I can visit another world—it sounds really fun!"
"Then go with the Mission Card!" Yaya suggested.
Since Ye Tian was in seclusion refining the blood of the Ancestral Witches, Kumoko didn't disturb him.
Kumoko chose the Mission Card.
Whoosh!
The Mission Card fell into Kumoko's hands. Without hesitation, she immediately used it.
Instantly, the card activated, connecting to a certain world.
In the Golden List Livestream, the scene of another world appeared.
It was a large modern city, bustling with people.
Soon, a brief introduction to this world was provided.
[This world consists of humans and monsters. Humans have heroes who are responsible for dealing with the monsters. The monsters are ranked into Wolf-level, Tiger-level, Demon-level, and Dragon-level. Meanwhile, human heroes are ranked into C-level, B-level, A-level, and S-level, with S-level being the strongest.]
[Mission Requirement: Find the strongest individual in this world, engage in battle with them, and defeat them. Note: Do not harm any other individuals, or the mission will be considered a failure.]
[Mission Time: 10 days]
[Orochimaru: I once obtained a monster cell; could it have come from this world? How interesting!]
[Tsunade: This world looks so advanced—full of skyscrapers!]
[Madara Uchiha: Too bad we can't hurt anyone else. Otherwise, if we wiped out everyone, the strongest would surely reveal themselves!]
[Hashirama Senju: Madara, you only ever think about killing. That's exactly why they set such restrictions.]
[Mei Terumi: Finding the strongest person in this world shouldn't be too hard. Just ask around, and you'll figure it out, right?]
[Third Hokage: I doubt the mission is that simple!]
[Might Guy: It might be easy to find the strongest, but the challenge is defeating them!]
At this point, Kumoko was transported into this world.
If Ye Tian were present, he would have recognized this as the world of One Punch Man.
Upon arriving in this world, Kumoko was instantly captivated by the unfamiliar, highly modernized environment. She wandered the streets, seeing many new and fascinating things.
Meanwhile, the ninjas in the Livestream were also enjoying a glimpse into another world.
At that moment, Honghong reminded her.
[Fox Spirit Honghong: Kumoko, don't forget your mission. You only have 10 days!]
Kumoko, able to see the Livestream comments even in the One Punch Man world, quickly noticed Honghong's message.
"Right, I need to complete the mission first. I'll find the strongest person first, then I can explore more!"
Kumoko thought to herself.
She then asked around and discovered that this world had several prominent figures, and they were ranked accordingly.
So, she bought a ranking list of heroes.
In her mind, the highest-ranked hero would naturally be the strongest!
Before long, a list landed in Kumoko's hands.
[S-Class Hero Rank 1: Blast!]
[S-Class Hero Rank 2: Tornado!]
[S-Class Hero Rank 3: Silver Fang!]
[S-Class Hero Rank 4: Atomic Samurai!]
The list detailed several S-Class heroes, each accompanied by a brief introduction.
"According to this, the strongest hero should be Blast. Could he be the strongest person in this world?" Kumoko wondered.
Meanwhile, people in the Livestream were also speculating about the identity of this world's strongest individual.
[Tsunade: It might not be Blast. Someone could be hiding their strength, like that S-Class Hero ranked 7th, KING. The description calls him the world's strongest man. Even though this is the hero ranking list, not the Golden List, if people in this world believe he's the strongest, he must be pretty powerful, right?]
[Hashirama Senju: KING could very well be the strongest. As for Blast, there's no information about him, so finding him might be incredibly difficult!]
[Fox Spirit Yaya: Kumoko, maybe you should try finding KING first. See if you can beat him—it might turn out he's the strongest!]
[Fox Spirit Rongrong: Since you have 10 days, you can experiment and test each one!]
After thinking for a moment, Kumoko agreed. She decided to find KING first and see if he was the strongest person in this world. If not, she could figure out a way to locate Blast later.
She began searching for KING. To her surprise, his whereabouts were not hard to uncover.
Soon, Kumoko found KING.
On a street, KING was buying groceries, about to head home when a stunning woman suddenly blocked his path.
"Who are you?" KING asked.
The woman was, of course, Kumoko.
At this moment, Kumoko frowned.
"An ordinary person?"
She furrowed her brow, suspecting she might have found the wrong person.
"Are you the S-Class Hero ranked 7th, KING?" she asked.
"Yes," KING nodded, though internally he was a bit nervous, his heart beginning to race.
Thump, thump, thump!!!
However, Kumoko ignored his demeanor. She saw through him, realizing that KING was indeed just an ordinary person.
"Either he's an ordinary person, or he's so powerful that he's beyond my perception," Kumoko thought.
But the task couldn't be that terrifying. The strongest person in this world should, at most, be on par with her. There couldn't be someone far stronger than her here.
"Let's test him with a fight!" Kumoko decided.
Chapter 180: Kumoko vs Saitama!
Although Kumoko wanted to test KING's strength, she wasn't about to attack him outright. If he really were just an ordinary person and she accidentally killed him, her mission would be a failure.
After all, the mission's rules clearly stated: no killing others!
Thus, Kumoko unleashed her aura.
Boom!!!!
The surrounding space seemed to distort as her terrifying aura enveloped KING, though it didn't directly impact him. However, the ground around them began to crack and crumble.
Of course, Kumoko cast a simple illusion so that no one nearby could see what was happening.
At that moment, KING panicked.
"This woman is terrifying!"
KING was nervous and scared. He knew how weak he really was, just an ordinary person. Why did he have to encounter such a frightening woman?
"What do you want?" KING asked.
Although he was internally freaking out, on the surface he remained calm, a steady heartbeat being his only tell. This was one of his advantages.
"Make a move and show me your strength!" Kumoko demanded.
"I..."
KING didn't know what to say.
Kumoko frowned. KING hadn't made a move yet. If he were truly a strong fighter, how could he still be so passive at this point?
She decided to use an illusion on KING.
To her surprise, he easily fell under its spell.
"He really is just an ordinary person!"
Kumoko was speechless.
The rankings in this world were too random! How could a regular guy be ranked seventh among the S-class heroes and even be called the strongest man? Ridiculous!
"It seems like the real strongest person in this world is Blast. But where is he?" Kumoko used her illusion to question KING, but he didn't know.
After investigating for a long time, she couldn't find any trace of Blast. It was as if he had completely vanished.
"If my master were here, he'd easily find Blast!"
Kumoko thought to herself.
Time passed. Kumoko flew to many places, but still no sign of Blast. At this rate, she might really fail her mission.
On the eighth day, Ye Tian finished his seclusion and checked the livestream. That's when he realized Kumoko had entered the world of One Punch Man.
"Kumoko got a mission card to find the world's strongest in One Punch Man. Isn't that Saitama!"
Ye Tian found it amusing.
Kumoko seemed to be looking for Blast. Honestly, even he didn't know where Blast was.
But the strongest person in this world was clearly Saitama, and he wasn't hard to find.
However, aside from a select few, no one truly understood Saitama's power.
So, Kumoko was completely heading in the wrong direction.
"I should remind her, or she's definitely going to fail this time!"
So, Ye Tian gave Kumoko a hint through the livestream.
[Ye Tian: Kumoko, the strongest person in this world is Saitama.]
Kumoko quickly saw Ye Tian's message.
"Saitama?"
She pulled out the hero rankings and soon locked onto Saitama.
"What? He's just a C-class hero!!!"
Kumoko began to doubt her master. How could a C-class hero be the strongest person in the world?
[Tsunade: Saitama seems to be a C-class hero in this world, the lowest rank. How could he be the strongest?]
[Hashirama Senju: Ye Tian is probably making things up. He's never been to this world, so how would he know who's the strongest?]
[Fourth Raikage: I'm curious. How does Ye Tian even know Saitama's name?]
[Mei Terumi: Maybe Ye Tian just caught a glimpse of Saitama's name when Kumoko was looking through the rankings. But just from a name, how could he know the guy's power?]
[Garaga: If the master says Saitama is the strongest, then Saitama is the strongest. The master's word is law!]
[White Snake Sage: Garaga, you're such a bootlicker!]
[Garaga: I get benefits from flattering the master. What do I gain from flattering you? What, you jealous?]
"If the master says Saitama is the strongest, I'll go check him out. Maybe he really is the strongest in this world."
And so, Kumoko went to find Saitama.
Saitama's home was easy to find. In no time, Kumoko located him.
At that moment, Saitama was out for a run.
To ordinary people, Saitama seemed harmless, like a regular person.
However, Kumoko focused her attention on Saitama. Her Evil Eye lit up, and she immediately sensed a terrifying power.
"As expected, Saitama isn't just some C-class hero. The energy within him far surpasses that of the S-class heroes. He definitely possesses power comparable to the Immortal Path level!"
Kumoko grew serious.
Whoosh!
Kumoko appeared in front of Saitama, blocking his path.
"Young lady, could you please step aside?" Saitama asked, his expression blank.
"Saitama, I'm here to defeat you. You must be the strongest human in this world!" Kumoko declared.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Saitama replied, unwilling to admit anything.
At that moment, Kumoko unleashed her aura.
The terrifying force seemed to tear apart the very space around them.
Saitama's expression changed for the first time.
Until now, everyone he encountered had been weak. So weak, in fact, that he never needed to use his full strength.
But now, Kumoko's aura forced him to take her seriously.
She was the strongest opponent he'd ever met!
"Let's fight in the sky. If we battle here, the entire city will be reduced to ashes!" Kumoko suggested.
"Do we really have to fight?" Saitama asked.
"We must. It's my mission. If you refuse, I'll attack. And at my level, everything around us will be reduced to dust." Kumoko replied.
"Fine. Let's fight in the sky, then."
Saitama nodded.
While he wasn't good at flying, with his power, he could easily stand mid-air.
Swish, swish!!
Kumoko and Saitama flew into the sky.
Saitama used his legs to step on the air at incredible speed, allowing him to defy gravity and stand in mid-air.
Boom!!!
The two clashed.
Kumoko unleashed a barrage of techniques, while Saitama's attacks were simple.
Serious punch! Serious punch! Serious punch!
Saitama's attacks had an overwhelming force capable of shattering everything, but they couldn't harm Kumoko.
The battle between Saitama and Kumoko caused massive shockwaves that gradually reached the ground, catching the attention of many heroes.
At that moment...
Kumoko and Saitama's attacks appeared like two blazing suns in the sky, with the sounds of explosions and shockwaves continuously echoing.
"What's happening in the sky?"
Tornado wondered.
She flew up to investigate.
