Swallowing, Agoni was staring at the two people sitting across from him at his desk. Looking at them for long seconds, he finally summarized.

" In short, a tournament universally will take place and the losers of this fight will see their universes being destroyed, is that right? "

With her feet on the desk, Quitela was eating a packet of crisps, groaning.

" Yeah, that's it ! I appreciate the fact that you are not deaf! In short, I need ten mighty warriors and I know that planets with good warriors are rare. "

Finishing his snack, he threw the wrapper in the air, before lifting a finger to disintegrate it.

" If memory serves, we have come to this planet several times and barely twenty years ago, we even protected it from an invasion that could have caused your downfall. "

" Um, yes ! I remember it very well. "

" Perfect ! In that case, I imagine you have no problem with your precious heroes participating in this tournament. "

" Anyway, I doubt I can refuse. "

Sneering, Quitela made a tiny destructive ball appear at the end of her finger, while asserting.

" Indeed ! A 'no' from you would simply mean the destruction of this planet! We don't have time to lose ! So hurry and bring your warriors. "

Immediately, pressing the button of an intercom, Agoni demanded.

" That we immediately summon all the heroes 1 to 10 of the S class! Code 4! I repeat ! Code 4! "

" 1 to 10? a voice wondered! Even Blast and King? "

" Especially Blast and King. " Roared Agoni.

" So, is this our team? " Quitela wondered, seeing nine people sitting around a large meeting table.

" Um, yes. " Said Agoni. " Other than Blast, here are all of our strongest heroes! Tatsumaki Bang Atomic Samurai Child Emperor King Zombieman Drive Knight and Pig God. "

" Is that a joke? " Asked Quitela. " Two kids, an old man, an obese, an absent,…? "

Then looking at a robot, he wanted to know.

" What is that ? "

" Metal Knight! At least, the robot he sent to participate in the meeting. "

" How do you mean a substitute? " Roared Quitela. " Who does this asshole think he is? Does he want me to destroy him? "

" Hey, instead of making a fuss, tell us who you are, you stupid rat. " Tatsumaki ordered him.

" Sorry ? " Cried Quitela, turning to her, giving her a glare. " Who did you dare call a stupid rat? "

" The person who dared to call me a kid. " She roared.

" Tatsumaki, sit down. " Bang suddenly advised him.

" What? "

" This man ... he's a god. " The old man taught him. " I have only been able to meet him twice in my life, but this gave me plenty of time to see his power! Yes, he has a power capable of destroying this planet if the mood takes him. "

Immediately, a wind of surprise swept the room, while everyone knew that Bang was speaking seriously.

" Bang is right. " Assured Agoni, sat at the other end of the table. " The situation is so bad that I brought in Blast! He should arrive in a few hours. "

" Blast will come ? " The other heroes were surprised.

" The situation is therefore very serious. " Found Atomic samurai. " What is actually going on? "

" I let your boss explain the situation to you. " Quitela announced, getting up. " Stay here, me, I'll try to find warriors more powerful than the bunch of dummies that you are. "

With these words, he teleported with Cognac.

" Good, … " Began Agoni. " I'll tell you what's going on. "

" According to my powers, rather powerful warriors live here. " Cognac announced.

Looking at the neighborhood they were in, Quitela groaned.

" I don't see anyone here. "

" Few people live here. " Cognac remarked. " Let's see if we can find someone. "

" Hey, you. "

Turning around, the duo saw a strange human-like monster with the head of a tiger.

" My name is Tigerman! And from today, I declare that this district is my territory. "

" Hum ? "

" And if someone dares to stay in my territory, I'll kill him. " Tigerman announced, showing big claws. " So get ready because I'm going to slaughter you. "

Seeing the two deities stand still, he pointed to Quitela before shouting.

" You, the sewer rat has just beaten! I'm going to … "

He didn't even have time to finish his sentence as Quitela found herself in front of him, before her fist in his face.

Ejected at full speed, Tigerman crashed into a house that exploded just like his body. All that was left of the old villain was a mush of blood.

" What lousy. " Roared Quitela. " Nobody has strength on this planet or what? "

" What do we do ? "

" Let's go. "

However, as they were about to leave, the duo could hear.

" My house. "

Turning around, they saw a bald man in front of the house that Quitela had just destroyed.

" What happened ? I had just bought a new TV. "

Seeing Quitela and Cognac, Saitama asked.

" Do you know who destroyed my house? "

" It's me ! Why ? " Quitela asked him. " Do you have a problem with this? "

Suddenly, even Vognac couldn't hide his astonishment. Being punched in the cheek, Quitela felt Saitama's fist crack the bone in his jaw and break a tooth. Taking two steps back, the deity then heard.

" You will pay me the repairs. "

" Motherfucker. " Roared the yellow rat, hitting Saitama right in the abdomen.

Immediately, flying as Tigerman had done, Saitama felt his body crash into houses throughout the neighborhood he lived in and eventually crashed further away.

" I hate when people disrespect me. " Roared Quitela.

" Uh, Quitela-sama! If I may, this man was strong enough to hurt you. "

Thinking for a few seconds, Quitela finally cried out.

" Shit, I should have hired him in the team. "

Then, regaining his composure, he seemed surprised.

" I didn't feel any aura in this man! It's strange ! It seemed to me to be normal! Did he know how to hide his energy? "

" Hey, the yellow rat. "

Astonished, Quitela turned to see Saitama standing in front of him, with just a bruise on his forehead.

" You are going to repair my house and pay me for hospital care! Huh, am I bleeding by the way? "

" But how ? " Quitela wondered. " Yet I hit you without restraint. "

" Don't make me laugh ! A stupid rat like you wouldn't hurt me. "

"Oh yeah ? " Quitela roared, clenching her fist before attacking him again.

" Yeah. " Saitama asserted, imitating him.

The confrontation was going to be terrible, as the two warriors went to strike each other with power. However, interposing himself between them, Cognac held out his two hands to stop the two combatants before shouting.

" Gentlemen, calm down! Quitela-sama! I think this man would be perfect for our team. "

Simply stepping back, Quitela examined Saitama, before yelling.

" However, I still can not feel the slightest aura in him! It is impossible, only the gods are capable of it! Who are you ? "

" What ? I am Saitama! A hero. "

" A hero ? "

" Yeah! It's my job. "

" Saitama-san, nice to meet you. " Cried Cognac, holding out his hand. " We are delighted to welcome you to our team. "

" Team? Which team ? "

" Sensei ! "

Arriving suddenly, Genos arrived with King. Seeing Quitela, the latter cried out.

" Too late ! They have already found it. "

" Sensei, are you okay? " Wanted to know Genos. " But, you bleed. "

" It's nothing. " Saitama retorted. " But this rat destroyed my house! I would never forgive him. "

Grumbling then, Quitela turned to Cognac.

" Do something. "

" Saitama-san! Regarding your house, which model do you want? "

" How ? "

The angel suddenly banged his staff against the ground and Saitama's house magically reappeared.

" The original version? "

Typing again, he turned the house into a villa.

" The imperial version? "

Typing again, he turned the villa into a wooden house.

" Or the rustic version? "

" What are you doing at my house? "

" Saitama-san! Calm yourself ! " King implored him. " These guys are gods. "

" Gods ? "

Making Saitama's house reappear, Cognac proposed.

'' How about we talk about this over a cup of tea? "

" I refuse. " Saitama announced.

Spitting out his tea, King shook with fear, while Quitela roared.

" How do you refuse? "

" I don't want to participate in this tournament. " Saitama announced. " I already tried the other time and got bored! Genos and Bang may very well win on their own. "

"I didn't ask your opinion. " Roared Quitela. " Also, this tournament is not one of the junk tournaments on this planet! The most powerful beings from each universe will be present! Maybe even beings much more powerful than you. "

" Bof! All the bad guys I've come across told me they were stronger than me and yet I always beat them with a punch! It bothers me having to go to space to defeat guys. "

Seeing Quitela on the verge of exploding his anger, Cognac preferred to play negotiators.

" Saitama-san! We've already passed a few tournament participants and I assure you that Goku-san and Toppo-san will be valuable opponents! In fact, I am even afraid that you are much weaker than them. "

" Hum ? "

" Sensei is invincible. " Suddenly roared Genos. " No one can beat him. "

" Who are you ? " Questioned Quitela, who had just noticed his presence.

" Genos, Saitama's disciple. "

" Oh ? " Said Cognac. " If you are his disciple, you must be very strong! And the man next to you is King, isn't he? According to Agoni, you are the strongest hero on this planet, after Blast! It will be an honor to welcome you to the team. "

Startled at hearing this, King couldn't help but shake in fear. Saitama's power scared him. And now he was told he was going to participate in a tournament to fight against people stronger than the bald? He knew he was going to die.

" Euh ... I ... I ... "

" King is not good at fighting. " Saitama announced, stoically.

" Uh ? " Quitela was surprised.

" During a fight, he would get beaten up quickly. " The bald man clarified.

" Sorry ? "

" Sensei. " Said Genos. " With all due respect, it seems to me that King is a great hero too! Is not it ? "

However, much to his surprise, he saw King bow down to Genos, before pleading with him.

" Take my place, I beg of you. "

" What ? "

" You and your robotic body, go to this tournament! I know you are much stronger than me. "

" What ? " Quitela wondered. " This guy is stronger than you. "

" Yes, he's a cyborg with very powerful weapons. "

" A cyborg? " Repeated the yellow rat. " Well, it seems they don't know fatigue and can survive fatal wounds for normal humans! Having him on the team would be a good idea! All right, the bald guy and the robot, you're on the team. "

" I said I refused! Me, I want to fight but against real opponents. "

" If that's what you really want, win this tournament and you can fight against me. " Quitela assured, pointing her finger. " It will be easy for me to defeat you but if you insist, I will give you two minutes of my time to crush you. "

Judging the pros against this proposal, Saitama remembered the injury he had suffered earlier. In fact, it was the first time he had bled since he had started training three years ago. He had to admit that this rat was pretty strong.

And then, with any luck, maybe he could meet a strong opponent during this tournament.

Finally, he closed his fist before nodding.

Running at full speed through a forest, Garou hit every trunk in front of him, not slowing down once. Getting stronger was his goal. And to motivate himself, he remembered Saitama's face.

" I am going to defeat this guy! I swear. "

Suddenly, finding himself in a clearing, he saw a man meditating.

" Hum? " Sonic wondered, opening his eyes.

Looking at each other, the two men remained motionless. Then, finally, the ninja did a back somersault, before drawing his sword, while Garou said he was in an attack position. The men didn't know each other, but they knew they were facing a person who wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

Getting ready to attack, the two men stopped, seeing Quitela and Cognac appear between them.

" What ? "

" These two people seem pretty strong to me, Quitela-sama. "

" Ok, let's get them on board. "

" What ? "

" I need other warriors. " Quitela announced, thinking about other possibilities he had. " Hey, Cognac, is using deceased people prohibited by the regulations? "

" No, I don't think so. "

" Perfect ! In that case, I'll take a trip to the afterlife to recruit a few more guys. "

Dabbing various files, a huge ogre with green skin was surprised when he saw Quitela and Cognac appear in front of his large desk.

" Than … ? Quitela-sama? Cognac-san? "

" Well hello, Renma. " The greeted Cognac. " We are here so that you will do us a little favor. "

" I want the names of the most powerful people residing in the Hereafter. "

" The most powerful beings? Uh… well… ah yes, some time ago, an overpowered being arrived in hell. "

Rummaging through his files, he said.

" His name was ... B ... Bo ... there you go ... Boros! He is the most powerful current resident in hell. "

" Perfect, we'll see that! And for paradise? "

"Uh… there aren't really great warriors in Heaven. "

" Hum? In that case, you're going to bring me the hundred most powerful people in hell in one big cell! I would manage then. "

Being locked in a large prison cell, Boros was in the company of a hundred people. All of them having committed crimes against humanity, these people were certain to reside in the underworld for eternity. For his part, Boros didn't care. He had died without regret.

Yet, hitting a wall, he noticed once again that his powers had been taken from him. When he died, his legendary strength had been taken away from him, preventing him from being able to fight again.

Now he was bored.

"I would give anything to fight again. "

" Hello, condemned to eternity. "

" Hum? " All the prisoners were surprised, raising their heads in the air.

Floating above them, Quitela and Cognac were watching them.

" What … ? a rat ? "

" This is your lucky day! I, Quitela, have decided to give you the chance to leave this hell! Don't you want to leave here and be able to breathe the fresh air of freedom again? "

At first surprised, one of the prisoners exclaimed.

" Are you serious ? Are you going to free us? "

" Awesome ! Free me! "

" Me too, I want to be free. "

Seeing them stir, Quitela began to count them. Then, finally, using his telekinetic powers, he lifted part of the ground and created a wall in the middle of the cell, dividing the group of prisoners in two.

" The rules are simple! You will kill each other! There are two groups! I will free the two people who will survive this tournament and to motivate you, your powers are returned to you. "

Instantly snapping his fingers, Cognac allowed each prisoner to feel an electric shock. Suddenly looking at his hands, Boros felt like he was bursting with energy.

" My power…"

" So awesome . " Cried a prisoner. " I got my powers back. "

" I will win this battle. "

"No, it's me. "

" I will kill you all. "

Unfortunately, a fist pierced the stomach of a prisoner, killing him a second time. Everyone then looked at Boros, who had just committed the first murder. Smiling, he asserted.

" I left for a workout. "

And within seconds, Quitela saw him fight fifty people and beat them without the slightest effort.

" Huuuuummmmm… rather interesting. " Quitela remarked. " Maybe I'll take it. "

Finally, when Boros finished the slaughter, he saw the yellow rat land in front of him.

" I see you know how to fight. "

Barely giving him a look, Boros questioned him.

" What do you want ? "

" Hum ? "

" I am not an idiot! If you have decided to free dangerous criminals, it is because you have a job to offer. "

'' How would you like to participate in a tournament? "

" A tournament ? "

Suddenly, the wall that Quitela had built exploded. Falling at Quitela's feet, a prisoner from the second group was crawling on the ground, his body covered in blood.

" Help ! He is going to kill me. "

Passing through the hole in the wall, a strange tongue wrapped around the injured man's leg and brought him back to the other side.

" Help… ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! "

Hearing a sound of agony, the trio then saw a tall figure pass through the hole, revealing the winner of the second group.

" A tournament ? " Sea King asked, his mouth covered in blood?. " Can I kill? "

Having returned to the association of heroes, Cognac had taken with him the most powerful heroes: Tatsumaki, Bang, Atomic Samourai and… Blast.

Taking them to the planet of the gods, he let the quartet see the rest of the team. Saitama and Genos were playing a game of cards, Sonic and Garou were struggling as they were tied with huge chains, Boros was meditating in a corner and Sea King was leaning against the wall of a cliff a little further.

" Quitela-sama! We have our team. "

" Perfect ! Let their training begin. "

" Hey, one minute. " Cried Tatsumaki. " Where is King and why is this bald man here? "

" Hum ? " Said Cognac. " After some elaborate calculations, we noticed that King couldn't be part of the team. "

" Why that ? " Asked the young woman.

" I noticed that King was having a hard time controlling his power and was blowing up the bodies of his opponents in one hit! Bang remarked, scratching his chin! Murder in the tournament is prohibited! If King killed one of his opponents, we would be eliminated! I understand ! Putting King on our team would be very risky. "

" That doesn't explain why this bald guy is here. "

" Sensei is the most powerful hero in our world. " Genos retorted.

" Hey. " Sonic cried. " What am I doing here? And who is this rat? "

" I am going to kick his buttocks. " Garou roared.

For his part, only staring at Saitama with hatred, Sea King stayed in a corner. He was not a fool. He knew the man was too strong for him. But he also knew that Quitela had promised them intensive training as well as fabulous rewards, if they won the tournament of power. Clearly, if he was patient, he could acquire the strength necessary to defeat Saitama.

For his part, opening one eye to catch a glimpse of the rest of his team, Boros finally stood up, before asking.

" Can we train? "

" Oh, you're Boros, aren't you? "

Lifting his face, Boros saw a man with a cape and a blue helmet on his face.

" Who are you ? "

" Me ? My name is Blast, hero number 1! Excuse me for not having been present lord of your invasion! If I had been warned in time, I would have come personally to kill you. "

" How should I take it ? "

Simply smiling, Blast finally removed his helmet. Barely giving him a look, Saitama finally froze, catching sight of Blast's face. It looked exactly like the face Saitama had… before his training. His face was emotional, he had a big smile and most of all, he had hair. Despite the few differences, Saitama and Blast seemed to be opposites.

" What … ? " Wondered the bald man. " Do you have hair? "

" Hum? " Blast wondered. " Oh, and you, you're Saitama, aren't you? Congratulations on saving our planet! You are a great hero, like me. "

" Impossible. " Saitama retorted.

" Hum ? "

Pointing to Blast, he roared.

" If you were so strong, you wouldn't have your hair anymore. "

" What? "

" Stop your bullshit. " Roared Quitela. " Cognac! "

Using his staff, the angel sent the contestants to another dimension. All except Saitama.

" Hum? " Quitela wondered. " What is he doing here? "

" When I told him about training, he told me he refused. "

" What do you mean ? "

" I want the chance to fight someone with my power. " Saitama announced. " By training for three years, I became the most powerful man! If I train for ten years, I would have no chance of finding an opponent. "

" I don't care about that. " Roared Quitela. " You will train like everyone else. "

" I refuse. "

Starting to get annoyed for good, Quitela created an orb of destruction. And sent it to Saitama. Seeing her, Saitama managed to send her away by kicking her with the back of his hand. Flying through the skies, the attack eventually crashed into a planet not far from them which vanished in an instant.

" That ? " Quitela wondered, seeing Saitama repelling his attack without a problem.

" I don't need to train. " Saitama assured.
