A warm feeling began to Swirl out from the position of his heart.
It wasn't pain, it wasn't swelling, but a sensation of being untied.
As if an invisible chain bound deep within his body had clicked and loosened by a link.
The speed of his blood flow seemed to quicken, his breathing rhythm became longer, and his heartbeat grew more powerful!
The world in his vision seemed a little clearer—
No, not clearer, but the dimensions of his perception had broadened.
King could "feel" the finer energy flows in the air.
He could "hear" the faint conversations in the distant evacuation teams.
He could "see" the richer colors of light reflecting off the surfaces of buildings.
This was a fundamental improvement.
Not an accumulation of strength, but an elevation of his life level.
Like stepping from a two-dimensional plane into a corner of three-dimensional space.
Although it was only 10%, the feeling of "possibility" being opened was incredibly clear.
King slowly exhaled, his breath condensing into a thin white line in the air that lingered for a long time.
He clenched his fist and then released it.
His strength had surged, and his control had become more refined.
Things that originally required seventy percent of his strength now only required a breath.
More importantly, he felt that door—
That door leading to "higher ground" had been pushed open a crack.
Light shone through the gap in the door.
"...King?"
Saitama's voice pulled King back to reality.
King turned his head and found Saitama staring at him with those dead-fish eyes, his face showing a rare hint of confusion.
"You right now,"
Saitama pointed at King: "seem a bit different."
King felt a slight chill in his heart.
As expected of someone who had completely broken their limiter, his perception was terrifyingly sharp.
"Really?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong."
"Oh."
Saitama didn't press further; after all, it was King.
The S-Class Heroes were all a bunch of freaks.
Not to mention the strongest S-Class Heroes in front of him.
It was normal for him to be a bit strange.
He put his hands back into his pockets.
"Where was I?"
"Right... you are more suited to be a hero than I am."
"I think you're right. Sometimes when doing things, you don't need to think of too many reasons."
"As for what others think..."
He looked at the sky, where abnormal, distorted cloud ripples had begun to appear.
"That's their business."
