Geryuganshoop realized he had been played, and his purple skin instantly flushed into a deep reddish-brown.
"This is your doing, Earthling!" he roared, his tentacles whipping in furious arcs. "I'll make you pay for offending the great Lord Geryuganshoop!"
The other monsters in the command room sensed danger imdiately and scrambled for the exits.
But it was already too late.
"Super Gravitational Wave!!!"
A crushing field of gravity exploded outward, swallowing the entire command room.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The fleeing monsters let out strangled cries before their bodies collapsed into grotesque puddles of blood. The floor buckled, twisted tal shrieked, and the massive command console caved in under the pressure.
The ground beneath Saitama cracked and sagged, but he stood firm, unfazed—not even the corner of his cape stirred.
Kaito's ch wasn't so fortunate. Its fra groaned under the overwhelming pressure, tal warping with a piercing screech. The mimicry system fizzled out, exposing its raw chanical core.
Geryuganshoop's single eye glowed with cruel satisfaction. His tentacles waved as he laughed."My psychokinesis can bend gravity itself. Do you know about black holes? Not even light can escape before —"
He froze mid-boast.
Saitama hadn't flinched. He hadn't even blinked. He just stood there, relaxed, like he was waiting in line at the supermarket.
The bald hero tilted his head and glanced at his companion."Hey, King, you alright?"
The ch's display flickered, its digital face twisting into a strained smile."I… I'm fine… but the ch's too damaged. This body… won't last much longer."
Kaito's voice grew cold."When you fight this big octopus later… don't kill him outright. Leave him breathing. I want to personally make him pay for breaking my toy."
Saitama nodded simply."Got it. I'll go easy."
That casual remark lit Geryuganshoop's fury."Arrogant fool!!!"
The debris scattered across the wrecked chamber suddenly floated, swirling into a storm of tal shards.
"Psychic Stream of Stones!!!"
Countless fragnts accelerated to near-light speed, tearing through the spaceship's alloy walls as they rained down like a celestial barrage.
"Clink, clink, clink—"
The storm slamd into Saitama, producing nothing but a series of dull tallic taps.
The bald hero looked down at his untouched yellow jumpsuit, then casually caught a shard mid-air."I say, is this all you can do? Just throw rocks?"
He sighed in disappointnt."What a waste of powers. Anyone can chuck junk like this."
With a lazy flick, he hurled the fragnt back.
This ti, unlike the original tale, Saitama rembered Kaito's request. Instead of aiming for the head, he tossed it at Geryuganshoop's chest.
Pfft!
The shard tore through his torso, leaving a gaping, bowl-sized hole.
"Ughhh!"
Purple blood gushed as Geryuganshoop toppled, shrieking in pain. Yet his monstrous vitality kept him clinging to life.
Trembling, he quickly rolled his eye back and played dead, hoping his tornt would end there.
Saitama didn't spare him a glance. He turned toward Kaito."Can you still walk?"
The ch creaked as its damaged limbs shifted. The combat system was fried, but basic movent still worked."Walk… yes… go find Boros…"
Saitama nodded, grabbing two surviving minions from the wreckage."You. Take to your boss."
With that, Saitama and Kaito left the command chamber.
Only then did Geryuganshoop dare crack open his eye, relief flooding him at the thought of survival. He tried to rise—
—but footsteps echoed from the shattered doorway.
Panic seized him. He flopped back to the floor, resuming his act.
"King! Is that 'Universe's Number One Psychic Master' you ntioned here?"
The sharp voice belonged to Tatsumaki. The petite esper floated in, erald hair swirling with psychic energy. Behind her ca Kaito's true body along with the other S-Class heroes.
Geryuganshoop clenched his eye shut, praying desperately: Don't notice . Don't notice …
"Huh?"
Tatsumaki drifted into the room, scanning the chaos with a pout."So this is supposed to be the self-proclaid 'number one'? What a disappointnt."
Her gaze landed on the 'unconscious' octopus, her small face twisting in annoyance."It couldn't seriously be this useless blob, could it?"
"Don't worry."
Kaito stepped forward, hands in his pockets. His gaze was ice-cold as he lood over Geryuganshoop. A dangerous smile tugged at his lips.
"Hey… 'Universe's Number One' Psychic Master."
He raised his foot—
—and stomped directly onto Geryuganshoop's chest wound.
"AAAHHHHHHH!!!"
The octopus shrieked, tentacles flailing uncontrollably.
Kaito leaned down, his voice like a blade."Stop pretending. You destroyed my ch. Now we settle this properly."
Geryuganshoop's single eye narrowed, flashing with ruthless intent.
He thought bitterly that since death was inevitable, he might as well drag others into the grave with him!
"Despicable Earthling worm! I, Geryuganshoop, have traversed the stars for centuries—how dare you humiliate ?!"
With that roar, his entire body ignited in a frenzy of power. A blinding purple surge of psychic energy exploded outward, shaking the ruined command chamber.
"Let's go to hell together! Super Psychic Self-Destruction!!!"
His psychic core flared like a dying star. He intended to burn the last embers of his life to erase the sha of defeat. The chaotic energy spiraled, on the brink of bursting into an uncontrollable explosion—
And then, at that exact mont, a sharp, displeased voice cut through the storm.
"Hmm?"
The sound carried both irritation and a strange excitent, like soone who had just found a long-awaited toy.
It was Tatsumaki.
The violent psychic turbulence rolling off Geryuganshoop finally stirred the curiosity of Earth's strongest esper.
"Oh? This sloppy ss of energy… that's you, Takoyaki? And you dare call yourself 'Universe's Number One'?"
Before she even finished speaking, Tatsumaki raised a slender, jade-like hand and casually clenched her fingers in the air.
"Psychic Twist!!!"
