Reborn with Steve Stand - Chapter 600: Serious Shot

Upon seeing Fang Mo easily slice through his own cosmic battleship with a single stroke, Boros was visibly stunned.

Boros then glanced down at the right side of his body, which had just been grazed by the energy beam, causing his limbs to evaporate—an astonishing display of power.

Yet, rather than feeling fear, Boros became even more excited.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

He threw back his head and laughed heartily, then eagerly fixed his gaze on Fang Mo: “Fantastic, just like that, this is the feeling that proves I am still alive!”

Accompanying his laughter, the massive battleship began to slowly plummet. The entire ship shook violently, flames erupted everywhere, igniting a blaze as if even the sky was dyed a glaring crimson.

And while appreciating this stunning, catastrophic scene.

Boros seemed curious, and without warning asked Fang Mo, “Aren’t you worried?”

“Worried?” Fang Mo paused and replied, “What do I have to worry about? You should be the one worrying, right?”

“I mean the ants below.”

Boros chuckled, “You must be part of that ‘hero’ group, right? Aren’t you here to protect this planet? But you personally destroyed my ship, now both your people and mine will die here.”

“Do you care about that?” Fang Mo asked.

“Not at all.”

Boros shook his head, “I just don’t understand… How could a being capable of fighting me be content with guarding these ants?”

“It’s not really about guarding.”

Fang Mo thought for a moment, then casually slung his massive sword over his shoulder: “It’s like playing a game. When you come across characters you like, you want to interact with them more, not wanting them to die. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“I don’t get it, but it’s like a pet thing, right?”

Boros considered this, then added, “But the pets you like are about to die. Aren’t you angry?”

“Not really.”

Fang Mo shrugged naturally, “My people are outside. This here is a mirror space, specifically for fighting.”

“…Huh?”

Boros was taken aback, “Mirror space? What is that?”

“Literally, a space designed for fighting.” Fang Mo casually waved his hand towards the ground, and a gravitational field lifted a huge swath of the building and soil, compressing it into a solid sphere: “You could think of it as a kind of temporary room… a parallel universe where anything goes.”

“A parallel universe?”

Boros frowned slightly, “Do such things really exist? When exactly…”

“Probably after you kicked Saitama into the air,” Fang Mo said nonchalantly.

In truth, Fang Mo himself had a vague perception of the mirror space. If someone secretly trapped him there, it would probably take him a while to realize.

But the problem was with the Ancient One.

Her only leverage now was Fang Mo.

So, her move was to borrow dimensional power from Fang Mo and then use it to lock him in the mirror space.

Fang Mo would have noticed right away.

Of course, it wasn’t really the Ancient One’s fault. After all, even as a Sorcerer Supreme, she was significantly nerfed in the movie universe, and asking her to incorporate Boros’s giant cosmic battleship into the mirror space was indeed a bit too much for her.

“Saitama? You mean that small fry?”

Boros recalled for a moment, “His body did seem pretty tough…”

But before he could finish, Boros suddenly grunted, clutching his chest.

“The burden is still pretty heavy.”

Boros paused to catch his breath, then looked up at Fang Mo: “Meteor Burst… this is my strongest combat form, but even I can’t maintain this state for long. It seems it’s time to settle this.”

“Come on, let’s fight it out.”

Fang Mo didn’t waste any more words and raised his Sword of Light.

As the cosmic battleship continued to fall, it finally crashed into the ground with a resounding boom, instantly reducing the entire city to rubble.

At the same moment, Boros moved.

The ground where he had been standing exploded, forming a crater nearly a hundred meters in diameter, and he disappeared from that spot instantly.

“Behind you!”

Without any warning, Boros’s voice suddenly rang out behind Fang Mo. He wasn’t just giving a friendly reminder; he punched directly at the back of Fang Mo’s head with full force.

However, in the next second, Fang Mo’s body suddenly turned into a streak of black light and disappeared.

“Hm?”

Boros was momentarily stunned. Despite having only one eye, his dynamic vision was extremely strong, yet he had not seen how Fang Mo moved. It was as if even his eyes couldn’t keep up with his opponent’s speed.

In the next second, Boros suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

“Gravitational Collapse Fist.”

“Wha…”

Boros couldn’t even finish speaking before his body exploded from the middle, his upper body spinning away like a meteor, crashing into the ruins of the ship with such force that even the wreckage beneath his feet shook violently.

But quickly, the wreckage beneath his feet erupted with a deafening explosion.

In the next second, Boros had already charged out again.

This time, his body had completely healed, indeed the regenerative speed was somewhat terrifying, and he wore an excited smile on his face, rushing towards Fang Mo without changing his expression.

And with his charge.

All the metal plates along his path were crushed by the shockwave.

“Going head-to-head?” Fang Mo glanced at the rushing Boros and finally charged up after a long absence, a golden-white flame quietly burning on his body.

In the next second, the fists of the two collided.

It was like a singularity explosion, and a spherical energy wave erupted from their location.

The intense vibration instantly extinguished all the flames on the ruins, and immediately afterward, everything was violently stirred up, turning millions of tons of metal debris on the battlefield into scattered junk.

And as for the two combatants.

Fang Mo was immediately stripped of three orange hearts.

On Boros’s side, his entire right arm exploded into a mist of blood.

Despite this, neither’s expression changed, Boros while regenerating his right arm, kicked towards Fang Mo.

However, under the dual enhancement of the light force and the Tailed Beast, Fang Mo’s strength was clearly a level higher than usual. He simply grabbed Boros’s left leg with one hand, then swung his giant sword downward.

With a crack, Boros’s leg was directly cut off by the Sword of Light.

But even after losing a leg and an arm, Boros’s expression didn’t change much, perhaps he had anticipated this outcome. At this moment, he suddenly tensed all his muscles, his chest’s solitary eye contracting, and a laser shot out almost point-blank at Fang Mo, likely his real attack tactic.

However, facing Boros’s killer move.

Fang Mo also spoke up.

“The world!”

The Time Sword in his storage space suddenly vibrated, and the spherical time field expanded outward, instantly freezing the entire world at that moment.

Even Boros in mid-air.

Was stuck in the pose of firing the laser.

Rarely speaking, Fang Mo simply raised his Clausolas.

Fang Mo directly swung his sword at Boros, while at the same time, his Void Ring flashed with a black light.

Void Teleport activated, and Fang Mo’s figure instantly appeared behind Boros, directly striking an upward slash, then teleported again, a diagonal slash, another teleport, a horizontal sweep, another teleport, a vertical chop…

With the high frequency of teleports, numerous afterimages of Fang Mo appeared around Boros, attacking from different angles.

Quickly, Fang Mo stopped his attack.

“…and then time began to flow.”

It was only an instant, and Boros was reduced to a pile of minced meat by the sword light.

However, this guy’s regenerative ability was really outrageous; even chopped into mince, he did not die. Some energy pulled the mince together, quickly reforming into Boros’s figure.

“It’s useless, in my Meteor Burst state I have dozens of times the usual regenerative ability, your attacks are completely ineffective!” Boros said as he charged toward Fang Mo again: “I…”

“Earth Sword.”

(TL: the one with Bedrock Golem?)

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Mo drew another sword and struck Boros. This time, he used a giant sword forged from cosmic neutronium, the hardest substance in the universe. Even Boros coughed up a mixture of white and red blood when hit in the chest by this hardest material, unable to control his body as he flew far backward.

“Very… very good!”

His figure wobbled slightly, Boros wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Fang Mo: “Only this way… is worthy of being defeated by me!”

However, as he said this, Boros already had a rough idea in his heart. Meteor Burst was his strongest mode, and even he himself couldn’t bear the consumption of this scale. Although he was many times stronger than carbon-based life, he was still a life form, and the cells in his body had their limits.

This so-called Meteor Burst was really no different from burning his own life.

At this moment, Boros already had a premonition that he might not be the opponent of this guy in front of him. The opponent was almost not a life form in the strict sense, but something beyond that.

But for Boros.

Failure and death were not really frightening.

What was really frightening was that he had burned everything to fight the opponent, but the opponent seemed to have not really gotten serious yet.

“It seems it’s time to show you my other ace.”

With that thought, Boros suddenly roared to the sky, and then his entire body shot upwards, all his energy converging towards his chest.

Realizing that he couldn’t overpower his opponent, Boros decided to unleash his final strike. Life force and healing energy alike began to gather towards the single eye on his chest. In an instant, the eye lit up with a brilliance akin to the sun.

As the energy became overly concentrated, it seemed to spark out like electrical arcs.

Any material that came into contact with these energy arcs was instantaneously reduced to atomic dust.

“This is all the energy within me!”

Boros hovered high in the sky, staring at Fang Mo not far away and bellowed, “Whether it’s you or the planet beneath your feet, let everything be destroyed in this one strike! Star-Bursting Roar!!!”

As he spoke, a beam of light burst forth from his chest, sweeping across like a cataclysmic flood.

“Oh, is it ending now?”

Fang Mo watched the approaching beam, which was impressively potent. Even he, typically insensitive to such things, could faintly sense the danger it posed.

If it hit him directly, it might indeed have the power to obliterate him.

But of course, Fang Mo wasn’t about to just take the hit. Given that he was the type with high offense but low durability, he quickly drew the Longbow of the Heavens, then began to draw on the power of light to charge it. Soon, a pure, immaculate arrow formed on the bowstring.

He then aimed the arrow at Boros and slowly released his grip.

“A serious shot.”
