He had to find that key point—the one-hit kill.
The battlefield had already deteriorated to an extreme. The ruins could collapse completely at any second. The seawater, heated by violent energy collisions and friction, was rising in temperature at a terrifying rate—truly beginning to boil and churn, spitting out huge streams of bubbles!
The collapse worsened by the second. Massive chunks of the domed ceiling rained down like a storm. The ground split open. Under the beast's berserk telekinesis, the seawater turned into catastrophic turbulence. Saitama's battle with the beast transformed this ancient underwater space into a boiling inferno.
Saitama's Serious Consecutive Punches had torn a huge wound into the beast's chest. Dark energy sprayed out like blood—yet its vitality was still terrifyingly stubborn. Its frenzied attacks and telekinetically induced environmental disasters were giving Saitama real trouble. Finding the weak point required time and focus…
And the beast clearly had no intention of giving him either.
Just as Saitama dodged falling boulders and raging water tornadoes while thinking of a way to break through the beast's defenses and land a fatal blow—
A light, completely different from the surrounding darkness and chill, pierced the chaos without warning.
It was a pure, warm golden beam—brimming with life itself!
Like a meteor slicing through night, it struck with perfect precision, slamming into the beast's massive claw as it reached for Saitama.
Sizzle—!
Like a hot knife through butter, the armored, spiked claw began to smoke violently where the beam touched. Black fumes rolled up as dark energy dissolved as if it had met its natural nemesis. The claw's motion stuttered, and the beast let out a pained howl!
Immediately after, a figure appeared—almost like teleportation—floating in midair not far from Saitama's side (which looked downright eerie this deep underwater).
The newcomer wore a tight combat suit as well, but its design was clean and streamlined, carrying a high-tech feel that didn't belong to Earth. Their face was shrouded in a soft halo, impossible to make out clearly. But their posture was upright and composed, radiating warm, powerful light—standing in stark opposition to the beast's darkness.
The mysterious figure didn't waste words. Their hands flashed through rapid seals, and more golden beams shot out like arrows—striking with pinpoint accuracy at the beast's joints, the ghost-blue flames in its eye sockets, and the massive mouth where dark energy was gathering!
These powers of light were clearly a hard counter to the beast's dark energy. Wherever the beams landed, darkness evaporated instantly. The beast's movements grew sluggish and pained, forced to devote a huge amount of focus to resisting and dispersing the hateful light. Its pressure on Saitama weakened at once.
Then a voice—clear, calm, and carrying a strange resonance—spoke directly into Saitama's mind.
"The core. The true weak point isn't on the surface."
"It's deep in its chest—near the spine. There's a heart formed from pure condensed dark crystal."
"Destroy it!"
Saitama's eyes flared with sharp light. He'd already suspected the defensive core wasn't in the head or the torn-open chest wound—this instantly confirmed it.
"Got it." Saitama answered in a low voice.
An opportunity had arrived.
The mysterious figure's hands blazed brighter. More beams—thicker, heavier—lashed out like chains to bind the beast, especially whenever it tried to shield its abdomen. Light and darkness collided violently, sizzling with scorching friction as the beast was pinned down for a moment.
