"Damn it! We're practically useless here..." Atomic Samurai muttered when he saw that even Tatsumaki had nearly been in danger and was saved only because of Shinji.
"We should hold back for now and help only when the ti is right. Forcing ourselves in when we can't make a difference will only backfire," Bang said gravely.
"So… we should just stand—"
"—stand and watch, yes." Bang said, "Lately, it seems like we are doing this a lot."
"Even Tatsumaki can't handle this kind of enemy? Could Madam Shibabawa's prophecy actually co true?" Child Emperor looked up at Boros, his expression heavy.
It wasn't just Shibabawa's prophecy he rembered. Sitch had also ntioned Shinji's prediction about a god-level threat. While Child Emperor didn't believe this alien could be so strong that it would lead to humanity's extinction, after all, he had yet to witness Boros' full power, it was undeniable that the S-Class heroes present were already at a loss. Whether Shinji could stand against him was uncertain, and Child Emperor did not hold much hope.
To almost everyone, Tatsumaki was the Hero Association's trump card. If even she had fallen, then what could the S-Class rank 5 hero [Kamui] possibly do? The only other hope was the enigmatic man known as the strongest on the surface, [King], but his true abilities were shrouded in mystery. No one had ever seen him fight, and at this mont, he was nowhere to be found, so he was not an option either.
"That guy can fly into the sky, so there's nothing I can do," tal Bat said gloomily, resting his bat on his shoulder. His ability was to grow stronger each ti he was injured, his body's capabilities surging higher and higher. But Boros hadn't given him that chance. One hit sent him flying, and then Boros simply stayed airborne.
"Let's just watch for now. Maybe Mr. Kamui will co up with sothing," Superalloy Darkshine said, trying to encourage the others.
He quickly ran over to the spot where Boros had earlier slamd Puri-Puri Prisoner into the ground and pulled him out like a radish. Boros' overwhelming presence had been so consuming that they had almost forgotten about Puri-Puri Prisoner entirely. Fortunately, this world seed to have a "heroes don't die" law, he was only unconscious, not in any real danger.
"Master..." Genos couldn't help but feel worried. If even his teacher couldn't handle such a powerful foe, then perhaps Earth really was dood.
On Saitama's side, however, it was a completely different scene. He and Shinji's wooden clone were still sitting leisurely, cracking sunflower seeds, as if what was happening before them was nothing more than so trivial squabble.
...
"Finally, no more annoying distractions." Boros' excitent grew as his gaze fixed on Shinji. Those other people earlier had rely served as his warm-up.
The mont he finished speaking, Boros lunged at Shinji, moving so fast that he vanished from sight. But Shinji's eyes were far from ordinary. In the Rinnegan's perception, Boros' movents were perfectly traceable.
Shinji imdiately activated "Hollowfication," causing Boros' rapid barrage of punches to pass straight through him without hitting anything.

[Physique 700]
[Hashirama Cells 80]
[Physique: 2608]
[Hashirama Cells: 200]
While this world seed to have a "heroes don't die" rule, Shinji was not about to gamble with his life. He redeed a Three Tomoe Sharingan as insurance, if sothing went wrong, he could use "Izanagi" to rewrite his own death.
[Alert! Host's Hashirama cells have reached 150. Reward unlocked: Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands (Thousand-Ard Kannon)!]
[Alert! Host's Hashirama cells have reached 200. Reward unlocked: Top Transford Buddha!]
As the number of Hashirama cells increased, Shinji unlocked the ultimate Wood Release technique.
By now, it was impossible to count how many punches Boros had thrown at Shinji. Not a single one had landed. Every blow passed straight through Shinji's body.
"What...?"
Boros, puzzled, halted his attacks.
Limbo: Border Jail!
Seizing the mont, Shinji activated the Rinnegan's technique, summoning four invisible "shadows" that could neither be seen nor touched.
These shadows looked exactly like Shinji and could use ninjutsu as well. Only those with the Rinnegan could see them, so Boros, of course, could not.
The four shadows attacked Boros simultaneously, landing invisible blows on him.
Every part of his body was struck at once, yet he saw no sign of his opponent moving. What he felt was the assault of four attackers at the sa ti.
For Boros, such strikes only caused superficial injuries that his regeneration healed in monts, but the unseen assault only made him more excited about the fight.
"This isn't enough! Use every technique you've got!" Boros shouted at Shinji while trading blows with the four shadows based on pure instincts.
anwhile, on the ground, the Ten-Tails was charging up an enormous Tailed Beast Ball aid at Boros above. Even if it missed Boros, it would still cause massive damage to the spaceship.
Bang and the others, seeing this, assud the Ten-Tails intended to help Boros attack Shinji.
"Stop it! We can't let it interfere with Shinji!" Bang quickly warned.
Just as everyone was preparing to stop the Ten-Tails, Tatsumaki spoke up. "Are you all stupid? That thing was summoned by Shinji. If you can't even see that, you might as well go back to C-Class and start over."
Hearing this, only then did they realize the Ten-Tails was an ally.
"What did you just say? Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a little girl!" tal Bat, already short-tempered, was imdiately provoked by Tatsumaki's words.
"With that pathetic bat of yours, what do you think you can do?" Tatsumaki replied flatly.
"You!…"
tal Bat was about to start a fight with her, but the Wood Clone of Shinji sitting beside Saitama interrupted.
"Enough. This isn't the ti for infighting. Ten-Tails, hold off on using the Tailed Beast Ball. You'll have your mont soon enough."
tal Bat, though still annoyed with Tatsumaki, understood now wasn't the ti to brawl with allies, so he reluctantly cald down.
"Hmph." Tatsumaki ignored him, her eyes fixed intently on Shinji in the sky.
At that mont, Shinji and the four shadows, each wielding a Rasengan, struck Boros together, sending him crashing down.
Boom!
Boros slamd into the ground.
Shinji imdiately brought his hands together, entering Sage Mode in an instant while also unleashing a sage technique.
