I don't own Shuumatsu no Valkyrie
Chapter 2: The Battle Of Strength and Determination! The Hero of Overwhelming Power Vs. The Father of Cosmo!
Null was in the stands, and beside him was Brunhild and Geir. He had to sit this one out and trust in Brunhild's choice for this round.
"DESPITE ALL THE DAMAGE TO THE RING. THANKS TO THE GODS IT GOOD AS NEW!" Heimdall shouted. "NOW WHO'S READY FOR ROUND 2!?" He asked, receiving a shout from the Gods and Humanity.
"I hope this round is different." Null thought.
"FROM THE VERY BEGIN THIS MAN WAS WEAK, BUT AFTER TRAINING HIS BODY FOR YEARS TO THE POINT HE COULD KILL A MONSTER WITH A SINGLE PUNCH!" A cape silhouette was walking slowly to the arena. "HE'S DEFEATED A WORLD CONQUERING ALIEN TYRANT, HE'S DEFEAT A CITY LONG CENTIPEDE, HE HAS EVEN BEATEN THE KING OF ALL MONSTER, OROCHI! BATTLE AFTER BATTLE, HE DEFEATED MONSTERS THAT COULD END THE WORLD! AND ALL FOR WANT!? MONEY? FAME? WOMEN? WRONG! HE'S SIMPLY DOES IT FOR FUN! BUT HE'S GROWN TOO STRONG FOR HIS OWN GOOD, NOW HE CAN NO LONGER ENJOY THE THRILL OF BATTLE! WILL HIS STRENGTH BE ENOUGH? CAN THIS MAN BE THE ONE TO STICK IT THE GODS? THE HERO WITH THE ONE-HIT KILL PUNCHES… SAITAMA!" Saitama revealed himself in his hero costume, he had his usual blank face.
"Man… this place is huge." Saitama stated.
Humanity had high hopes for Saitama while the Gods doubted this choice by the fact they didn't believe such an ordinary looking human was that strong. This intrigues someone in particular, Heimdall was originally going to introduce Shiva but he received a call.
"Huh? We're changing the order? Then who's next?" Heimdall asked. "Wait… who? HUH!? NO WAY!?" He said in shock, the sky then turned dark.
"Eh? Why's it so dark?" Geir asked, confused.
"Hmmm." Null said, not liking this.
Then a lovely melody was heard, the music was unheard of by any mortal ears. It awed the likes of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and brought tears to Johann Sebastian Bach, one who was playing the music was none other than… Hermes!?
"That's… Lord Hermes!?" Geir said in shock. "Our next opponent is Lord Hermes…? But his name wasn't on the list… right?" She asked, confused. But Null and Brunhild didn't answer; they were sweating and with a mix look of fear and shock.
"It can't be…" Brunhild whispers.
"No… not them… anyone but them…" Null muttered a plea.
"MY APOLOGIZE EVERYONE. THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE IN PLANS, INTRODUCING OUR SECOND FIGHTER FOR THE GODS!" Heimdall told them. THE ONE WHO WILL BE FACING THE FIRST MAN IS… THIS GOD… NO… WAIT… ACTUALLY, THIS ESTEEMED GENTLEMAN STANDING HERE!" He shouted, and it was revealed to be Zeus.
"Hi there everyone~." Zeus said softly. "Do treat me kindly."
"Huh?" Saitama said, confused.
This only shocks Geir, Brunhild, and Null to their core. Null cursed under his breath while Brunhild gritted and grinded her teeth in anger.
"That old bastard…!" Brunhild thought.
"Damn it, Damn it, Damn it, Damn it!" Null thought.
"Alrighty! Then!" Zeus said, getting ready. "Hermes! Come on!" He ordered.
"Dear me. How many millenia has it been… since I last heralded Lord Zeus's match to battle… with this very song!" Hermes thought, then a dozen more violins appeared and then played "Slaughter In The Gods Ring!" which got everyone pumping.
"Hoho~ this song always gets the blood pumping~." Zeus said, dropping his cane.
"HERE COMING IS NONE OF THEN ZEUS! THE FATHER OF THE GODS… NAY! GOD OF THE COSMO! GFOC!" Heimdall shouted.
Soon all the other Gods were repeating the words "GFOC" over and over, Zeus and Hermes were even doing an odd dance.
"Dear sister, Lord Null, what am I looking at right now?" Geir asked with disgust.
"Hell if I know." Brunhild answered with a deadpan face.
"A creepy shitshow…" Null said with a blank face.
"USING HIS POWERS OF CREATION AT HIS OWN WHIM, RETURNING ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T SUIT HIS FANCY BACK TO THE VOID! TRULY A KING OF THE GODS! EONS AGO… HE BROUGHT ABOUT THE TITANOMACHY TO DECIDE THE MIGHTIEST GODS… INFAMOUS FOR COMMITTING THE CRIMES OF PATRICIDE, THIS OLD GEEZER, GETS OFF ON BATTLE!" Heimdall shouted. "A REAL GOD AMONG GODS! HIS NAME IS… ZEUS!" The old greek God was skinny and small at first but grew and swell in size until he was a large muscular monster.
"Huh… what... What's happening…? Why…? Why is the final boss popping up in the prologue?!" Geir shouted confused and scared.
"I never thought… he would show up this early…" Brunhild said, biting her nail. "I must admit… this was outside my expectations." She thought.
"Good grief… what a troublesome master I serve…" Hermes thought with a smirk.
Originally Shiva was to be the one that fought in round 2 but Zeus intervened, he declared it was his turn over and over until the India God reluctantly gave the old God his turn.
"He must be the most shameless God in all existence…" Hermes thought.
"OUR SECOND ROUND WILL BE A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN! A BATTLE BETWEEN THE SUMMITS OF HUMANITY AND GODS!" Heimdall shouted.
"Hey, will you be alright without that thingy? Y'know that "Valkyrie Unite" thing. That thing… Without that…" Zeus said, unable to remember how to say Volund. "Kiddo, it'll be over before you know it." He said seriously, Saitama simply picked his nose.
"Oh, really? I'm not sure about that." Saitama said simply. "But it's here." He said, pointing to the sky.
And in the sky was a Valkyrie on a pegasus, the shine of the sun blocked a clear view but they seemed to be wearing glasses.
"Th-Those glasses…" Geir said with glee.
"Yes. She's the most fitting Valkyrie for the progenitor, Saitama." Brunhild stated. It was the 7th Valkyrie Sister, Reginleif.
"That's an impressive shine coming off that forehead." Null thought casually.
"Sister Reginleif." Geir shouted."
"Saitama, your hand!" Reginleif shouted at him. "We must match wavelengths! Once complete, I shall be a part of you!" They made physical contact and looked like a piece of beautiful art. "Now, in this moment! We are one!" Once they performed Volund, Reginleif became a part of Saitama and revealed his weapon.
"That… Saitama's weapon!?" Geir shouted in shock.
Everyone but Null was in shock at what they saw, Saitama's weapons were two sets of Knuckle Dusters. The perfect for one special in unarmed hand-to-hand combat.
"Neat." Saitama said plainly.
"Hohoho~." Zeus said with glee.
Saitama vs. Zeus; The Father of the Gods against the Strongest Hero, The second battle of Ragnarok begins now. Null was at odds with himself, he could only guess how this fight would go with Zeus in the fight earlier than they thought, but he had no doubt of the man who was facing him. Humanity was unable to claim victory for the first round, even if they tied with the Gods it wasn't the same, they needed to pull off a win here.
"UNBELIEVABLE! THIS MAN INTENDS TO HAVE AND ALL-OUT FIST FIGHT WITH THE GOD, ZEUS! COULD THIS GET ANYMORE MANLY THAN THAT!?" Heimdall shouted.
"If anyone can handle this, it's Master!" Genos, the Demon Cyborg shouted.
"Hmph, it should have been me. But whatever." Tatsumaki, the Tornade said with a huff.
"Relax dear sister, this should be fine for someone like him." Fubuki, the Hell Blizzard stated.
"Hohoho. You've got some good taste with that~." Zeus complimented.
"I guess so, it definitely fits." Saitama agreed. "So… what about your weapon?" He casually asked, which shocked and terrified everyone.
"Awawawa…" Geir said in horror.
"Oh… you were talking to me? I just really want to hear the sound your bones make when I grind them to dust~." Zeus said with sadistic glee. "So I'm going bare-handed~." He said, kissing his fist.
"Hmm… if you say so, hope you don't regret it." Saitama told him.
"Hohoho, that's the spirit! We'll that's enough talking for now." Zeus stated. "For starters~." He said, then was instantly in front of the hero. "Why don't you try this on for size?" He throws a punch but Saitama dodges it. "Oh? Not bad~?" Zeus complimented.
"ZEUS ATTACKS WITH A LIGHTNING FAST JAB! BUT SAITAMA DODGE IT WITH ROOM TO SPARE!" Heimdall shouted in awe, in the stands on the side of the Gods alongside Hermes was another God.
"Such a noisy bunch. Congratulating him after merely passing dad's first test… humans truly are foolish creatures, aren't they? Hermes." Ares, God of War and Sixth of the 12 Olympus Gods said.
"Indeed… you're right… Dear brother." Hermes said with a smirk.
"Hohoho, that's great. I'll dive right in then!" Zeus shouted. "Here I come~!"
And attacked with a barrage of jabs, Satiama was able to dodge them with ease, Zeus attacked Saitama with Meteor Jab, the hero dodge them all with the same blank look on his face. Zeus threw another punch that Saitama was able to dodge, he then cocks back his fist and everything slows down for him and then hits Zeus with a strong punch! Zeus felt the force of the punch knock him back a bit, he had blood dripping down his mouth this was a first for Saitama because of the fact Zeus didn't die from a single blow, maybe the power of the Gods could withstand against his power, Zeus charge forward once more and unleash another Meteor Jab but Saitama dodge and knock Zeus back once more with another regular strong punch, the Greek God was impressed and then looked to be preparing to throw a kick, using Divine Ax.
"Hmph. Say goodbye to your lower half." Ares said, believing it was the end for Saitama even though he got a few hits in.
The one punch hero dodged it like it was nothing, this surprised Zeus and Ares, even the Gods and Humanity was surprised especially when he countered with another regular strong punch, which Zeus tanked and merely "tch" at the blow.
"Oh, that's just wonderful~. You're really something~." Zeus told Saitama, wiping blood off his lips. "But… you're not going to beat me by running away and half-baked punches, you know?"
"Are you sure? Because if I end up killing you, that's it. You're not the first powerful opponent I've faced that I've beaten with half-baked punches." Saitama told him.
"Oh? That's quite the statement… kiddo." Zeus stated. "How about I show you the real power of the Gods."
Zeus leap forward with twice the power and unleash a Meteor Jab with twice the speed, Saitama dodges them and gets ready to throw a regular strong punch but Zeus counter it with another punch and the two began matching each other blow for blow, this was new for Saitama because no other foe has been able to withstand his power. Zeus then delivers a Divine Ax with more power and speed then before right at Saitama, he avoids it but the side of his suit had a small tear in it, this caught the hero for fun by surprise but there was no time because Zeus was coming for another bout of fists! He continue to trade blows with the Greek God, the fighters continue to clash fist but it almost looked like they were eveningly match, Zeus then throws another punch with more power then before ad when Saitama meant with his own punch he felt his feet being forced back a bit, Zeus unleash more powerful punches one stronger than the last one and Saitama continue to mean them with his own fist but he was slowly being pushed back by the force from the Greek God sheer raw power, Saitama dodge one of the punches and throws another regular strong punch right to Zeus's face but he wasn't pushed back this time and instead counter with a right hook that Saitama dodge but it was faster and inches away from his face. The battle of blows continues as Zeus slowly pushes back the B-class hero, Saitama continues to battle on but sees that it was going as he thought it would, which didn't bother him.
"S-Sister… L-Lord Null… just what is with Saitama? How is he this strong!?" Geir asked, shocked and impressed.
"I must say, he definitely has a lot of power." Heart said intrigued. "I am curious as to how he optioned such strength as well."
"Saitama trained everyday of his life, he did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 km long run." Null explained. "Doing this pushed his body past its limits until he was able to kill giant monsters with a single punch, but the price for such strength was the loss of his emotion."
"Wow… is that really true?" Geir said, less impressed.
"Just watch the fight, you haven't the true depth of Saitama's power." Null told her. "Is it enough against the likes of Zeus though?" He thought.
Saitama and Zeus look to be equal in this battle of blows, the bald hero wasn't seeing any progress with this as the old Greek God was able to keep him with him and was now forcing him back, this has never happened before, not even with Boros a being that was able to knock him all the way to the moon. Saitama dodged another punch and was about to deliver a strong punch but Zeus changed things up with a Divine Ax, faster than he thought and instinctively tried to block but the kick was too fast and sent him flying into the wall. Saitama lay there, he wasn't dead or badly hurt, just lost in thought.
"You see now, boy? The power of the Gods isn't something you should underestimate." Zeus told him.
"So… this is the power of a God, huh…" Saitama thought.
"Saitama, I recommend fighting seriously. All of Humanity is at stake, you need to fight with all you have." Reginleif told him.
"… … …" Saitama remains silent, he then picks himself up and dust his suit off.
"So? Have you learned your lesson?" Zeus asked, getting ready for more.
"Yeah, I have…" Saitama said calmly, now having a serious look on his face.
"Hohoho… good. Now, time for the slaughter to begin…" Zeus said with a bloodlust-filled smile.
"Watch closely girls, this is where Saitama shows a completely different side of himself." Null told them.
"Is that so? Then this fight will finally be interesting…" A voice behind them said.
"Huh? Yours…!" Geir shouted.
"Coming to watch the fight more up close, Miyamoto Musashi?" Null asked, the Legendary Swordsman and Representative fighter of Humanity.
"The view here is more welcoming." Musashi told him.
"He's right, one can feel the blows of the battle all the way from here." Kanoh Agito, the 5th Fang of Metsudo and Representative fighter of Humanity said firmly.
"Things looks like they'll pick up the pace much faster than before." Sagat, the Emperor of Muay Thai and Representative fighter of Humanity said, agreeing.
"Understandable." Null stated. "Just watch closely."
"Indeed, this is a battle to the death." Heart stated.
"All the more exciting, the weak purse and the truly strong survive and rise to victory." Esdeath, the Ice General and Representative fighter of Humanity.
"I have to agree, nothing is more pleasing than a bloody battle to the death." Acnologia said with a exciting bloodthirsty grin
the mighty GFOC? Their nothing compares to the likes of me, Lord Escanor, the one that stands at the top of all clans." Escanor, The Lion Sin of Pride and Representative fighter of Humanity said with a huff of booming pride.
"Gonna say this battle is getting intense, let see if this guy can surpass his limits." Yami Sukehiro, Captain of the Black Bulls and Representative fighter of Humanity said calmly while smoking a cigarette.
"Hopefully, this old man is a King among the Gods so the fight will be a tough one." Jiraiya, one of the Three Sanin said seriously.
"He's right. But this sure serves as another reminder that mortals aren't to be underestimated or they'll be sorry for doing so." Red Hood, the former Second Robin and Representative fighter of Humanity said firmly.
"Definitely, this old guy is just oozing sin." Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider and Representative fighter of Humanity said, trying to keep the vengeful spirit in check.
"That bald bastard… he better not lose." Cumber, the Legendary Evil Saiyan and Representative fighter of Humanity growled.
On the side of the God
Hermes and Ares watch their father preparing to battle with more power and the intent to beat him to a bloody pulp.
"What the hell is that human!?" Ares shouted in shock.
"Oh?" Hermes said, intrigued.
"He's strength…" Ares said, sweating.
"So it's true, this mortal truly is a strong one." Someone else stated. It was a tall male God that had red eyes with a eye patch, pale skin, a fit muscle body in white fancy suit and with blonde hair.
"U-Uncle Hades!" Ares shouted, shocked.
"Coming to see the fight, Uncle?" Hermes asked with a smirk.
"Just giving my brother a bit of support." Hades, the Greek God answered. "This human is impressive enough to not only survive but push Zeus back."
"Indeed, Uncle." Hermes agreed.
Zeus take a strange foot stance and then blitz all over the place, Saitama remain in place as the Greek God does then and when he tries to kick him, the hero dodges and appears before old Greek God with his fist cocked back and serious face, time seem to slow down for Zeus as the bald hero then unleashes his Serious Series: Serious Punch! It was in that moment that while be forever remembered that mortals have truly surpassed their creators because as Saitama throws this killer punch it made Zeus see a giant version of it and for once in his life, Zeus felt fear. He jumped back from Saitama with sweat all over his body, this shocked everyone!
"Hey, what's the big idea? Why did you run away?" Saitama asked his voice a bit deeper.
Zeus remained silent, shocked beyond reason on why he had run away from a mortal. No one was able to understand why, Hades, Ares, and even Hermes had shock looks on their faces at this while Null had confident smile, Heart merely chuckled, Geir a shock but hopeful look on her face, and Brunhild had a huge grin on her face and laughed at the old God.
"What is wrong with me? Why did I run away from him!?" Zeus thought, looking back at Saitama and saw a large red monstrous aura around him that screamed death.
"Hey… you're not scared are you, pop?" Saitama asked him.
That struck a nerve within Zeus, the very thought of a God fearing a mortal let alone him of all the Gods fearing a mortal like Saitama is impossible! This causes Zeus to swell with rage, his muscle bulk up and lightning spark off his body at that very thought!
"Hohohoho~. Ain't this just peachy~." Zeus said with a dark chuckle. "Let's take things up a level, kiddo." He stated.
"If you say so… hope you can keep up." Saitama told him.
"I'm positive I ca-" Zeus was about to say, but Saitama was already in front of him. "Huh!?" he thought, shocked.
Saitama attack with another Serious Series: Serious Punch but Zeus dodge out of instinct so the B-class hero hit the ground and left a large crates, Zeus appear behind Saitama and tries to kick his head off but the hero dodge and appears behind Zeus with another Serious Punch at the ready, the two blitz all over the arena with Zeus dodging every punch that was thrown while trying to hit Saitama. This game of cat and mouse had to end so Saitama clenched his fist attack with an Air Punch, punching the air and unleashing a powerful blast force at Zeus which he simply backhands but the hero unleashes a barrage of Air Punches but Zeus takes care of them with a swing of his hand, the hero uses that chance to close the gap between them in a instant and hit Zeus directly in the gut with a Serious Series: Serious Punch! Zeus gasp as the powerful punch completely mashing up his insides, he cough up blood and stagger back in pain but Saitama wasn't done and follow up with Serious Series: Consecutive Serious Punches and complete pummel multiple vital areas of Zeus's body and sent skidding to the wall, he cough up more blood and was badly bruised all over. Saitama took a deep breath and exhaled and launched himself forward and threw another Serious Punch to the face but Zeus blocked with his arm, Saitama fellow up with more powerful punches to try and break through Zeus's guard.
"How's this even possible!? How can this mortal have to push back father!?" Ares asked in shock, sweating.
"Indeed, this mortal is pushing Zeus in a corner. His strength is definitely no joke." Hermes said firmly. "What do you think, Uncle?" He asked Hades but the God of Souls remained silent.
"Zeus…" Hades thought.
On the side of Humanity
Null, Hearts and the two Valkyrie along with the fighters for Humanity watch as Saitama was beating up Zeus.
"U-U-Unbelievable… h-he's backing Zeus into a corner." Geir said in awe.
"Indeed. I never thought such a human could be this powerful." Brunhild said in awe, herself.
"You sure know how to pick them Null." Hearts stated. "I can't seem to sense a limit to his energy."
"Saitama is without a doubt the Strongest Hero of them all." Null stated. "But we have yet to see all of Zeus's trump cards."
"This guy is insanely powerful, maybe even stronger than your father." The First Son of Adam, Cain said calmly but had nervous sweats.
"Y-Yeah, he's super strong." The Second Son of Adam, Abel agreed.
"What do you think Adam?" Eve, the Mother of Humanity and Adam's wife asked.
"He's one of a kind. I doubt I could even reach his level." Adam, the Father of Humanity answered seriously. "Hehehe, you're something else." He thought, proud of his child.
Before the Beginning of Round 2
Brunhild originally was going to have Adam fight in the next round in order to gain a win for Humanity but Null had other plans and insisted that Saitama fight in his place because he felt a sense of a bad omen. The Father of Humanity wanted to mean all his children to see if they had what it took to fight in his deathmatch against the Gods.
"So… you're the father of all humans?" Saitama asked.
"Yes." Adam answered.
"Ok." Saitama stated.
"I'm not sure what I was expecting… but definitely wasn't this." Yami said, smoking a cigarette.
"I'll say. I figure he is an old man but he looks young enough to be a teenager." Johnny Blaze agreed, taking a smoke as well.
"You know, you should respect your elders." Jiraiya told the two.
"Hmph, this is him?" Escanor said, observing Adam. "the Father of Humanity… the first man…"
"The very one." Adam stated.
The two stare each other down until Escanor holds out his hand and Adam grabs it and the two shake hands, he had an unearthly strong grip on the first man's hand but he returned the gesture, they were even and Escanor merely "hmph" and nodded in exception.
"Jeez, that guy sure has an ego." Red Hood stated.
"Indeed, he should show Father the respect for the fact that he's given all of us life." Katakuri stated.
"I wonder how long he would last in a fight with a dragon." Acnologia said with a chuckle, intrigue.
"Indeed. He must be powerful if he's the father of Humanity." Esdeath said also intrigue.
"Hmmmm." Musashi said simply observing him.
Kanoh and Sagat didn't have anything to add to the conversation but wished to know how strong the Father of Humanity was against the likes of them. Since Cumber was a Saiyan and therefore an alien, he didn't care for the first man and merely grunted and thought about how he's going to slaughter Saitama.
"It's official, Saitama will be the one to fight in the next Round." Null told them.
"Already then." Saitama stated.
"Saitama…" Adam called out. "Be careful." He told the hero.
"I will." Saitama nodded.
Back to the present
Saitama continued to throw Serious Punch after Serious Punch at Zeus, the Greek God could feel the trembling blows reach all the way to his bones, one could assume that Zeus thought it was the end for him. But that was far from it, the Greek God was as calm and collected as one could be and was merely watching the mortal attack so he could time his counter just right. Saitama throws another Serious Punch but Zeus disappear just as the punch was about to land and was now behind the hero and look like he was trying to kick his head off but Saitama was duck under the blow and turn and throw another Serious Punch but hit nothing but air and in that moment, he took a powerful punch to the face by Zeus it didn't faze him even when a single drop of blood drip on his lip and he throw another Serious Punch but Zeus dodge and land a Divine Ax directly to Saitama's gut and sent him flying into the wall on the side of Humanity, he slam against it and remain there this made all of humanity drop their jaw in shock.
"Hohohoho… I'll admit you're a strong one and very terrifying for a mortal at least at first." Zeus told him. "But compared to the Gods it is nothing that can be handled." He said and chuckled a bit.
Zeus held out his hand and channeled the power of lightning in the center of palm, he was hoping to grind Saitama's bone under his fist but this would have to due. Saitama was slowly picking himself up, he felt the power behind the blow and it was something else then what he felt before, he saw the damage from the blow in his hero suit had torn hole and revealed a nasty bruise. Zeus unleashes his godly blast that was Thundery Judgement, a powerful bolt of lightning that forms a godly dragon that heads right for the hero, it engulf him and create a big explosion! There was a large cloud of smoke, everyone thought it was the end of Saitama, some dreaded the worse while others hoped that he was dead.
"I truly wish that I could pummel him to death but this is just as good." Zeus said with a sigh of relief.
This was short lived as a human sized bullet blast through the smoke and slammed into his chest at full force, knocking the Greek God into the wall and letting out a gasp of air and a bit of blood. The one that did this was none other than Saitama himself, his hero costume was torn up a bit with burn marks and holes, his cape was a mess as well, he himself was fine but not unscathed his body covered in scorch marks.
"That was pretty good, I'll be honest that one hurt." Saitama told him.
"HUH!? HOW IS HE ALIVE AFTER THAT!?" Geir asked, shocked.
"I told you, Saitama trained his body beyond its limit so the durability is able to rival that of the Gods." Null told her.
Zeus was pulling himself out of the wall and fell to his knees, he spit out a bit of blood and shakingly got back up to his feet.
"You should be careful, I tried to warn you, pops." Saitama stated. "You might regret what happens next."
"P-Pops…?" Zeus said quietly. "Oh, man… hyohohoho! I'm just so happy~ so so happy. I'm so happy! I'm about to burst!" He shouted, getting more swollen with a mix of rage and pleasure.
"H-He's not making any sense anymore! He's completely lost it!" Geir shouted in fear.
"Can't lose what you never had." Null stated.
"Well then, little monkey." Zeus said, cocking back his fist that now had white aura around it. "Can you follow this? Let's find out."
"He's using "that" move?" Hades said, surprised. "If so, it's over for that mortal."
Eons ago a young Zeus had fought and defeated his father, Kronos. But not taking a single hit, he was surprised with a single blow from his father that connected. At that time, Zeus took the final strike and burned it into his mind, body, and soul, making and naming it as his own.
Zeus forces the energy into his arm and moves so fast that time seems to down. The name of this technique is, The Fist That Surpassed Time! Time was frozen around even Saitama, Zeus delivers the blow right at the bald hero! But the most surprising thing happened, the blow landed right in Saitama's face but the moment it did he delivered his own powerful Serious Punch the slam right into Zeus's face the force of the blow had knocked the Greek God's head around the wrong way and even a few teeth.
"That was an impressive punch." Saitama stated, his right cheek bruised with blood dripping down his mouth.
Once everything had returned to normal, everyone was in shock at what they saw. The Mighty Zeus, Father of the Cosmo, has been brought down to the ground!
"What the hell is the meaning of this?! I was looking right at him and saw nothing!" Ares shouted in shock and confusion.
"It appears that human's powers exceed our expectations." Hermes stated.
"Indeed. It looks like just as Zeus was making his move, at the same time by some unknown force that human was able to counter it and deliver his own blow at Zeus." Hades concluded.
"Huh you two were able to see all of that!?" Ares asked, taken back by shock.
"Of course not." Hades stated.
"Just got that feeling from watching, dear brother." Hermes stated.
"Hmmm…" Ares said, dropping it. "In any case, I have no idea of what just happened. But one thing I know for sure. Even if I train for 1000 years, I would never be a match for that human!" He thought.
"That was something else, I told you that you might regret it." Saitama told him.
"I-I see, but L-Lord Null… Sis… What just happened!? How did it happen?!" She asked.
"I wouldn't be able to answer that if I wanted to." Null stated. "But I assume one of the others may have seen something."
Geir turned to the Representatives but none of them had a clue, except for Katakuri, he had a more grim face.
"Thanks to my Haki, I foresaw the move ahead of time. Always other things…" Katakuri said grimly.
"What did you see?" Geir asked nervously.
"Just watch…" Katakuri answered.
"Katakuri, what did you see in the future?" Null thought with a single sweat of fear.
"I knew Master would be able to do it!" Genos cheered.
On the side of Humanity, the crowd shouted with glee and excitement. They had hope that they had gained their first victory against such a powerful God.
"Looks like we're about to take the lead in the second round! Hell yeah!" Geir shouted, feeling hopeful.
"I have to admit that Zeus's entrance had me sweating, but all is well that end well." Brunhild said, relieved. "What's more is that the biggest thorn in my side, that old bastard… has been crushed!" She thought with a shit-eating grin. "I can't do it! I'm about to lose my shit!"
Null remained silent while the crowd continued to cheer for Saitama, the Bookkeeper looked at Katakuri and his face only grew grimmer and that didn't sit well with him at all. Just as Heimdall was about to call the match, someone shut his mouth and to everyone's horror it was… Zeus! He was standing on his two feet and still breathing, even with the state his head was in which only proved to be horrifying to behold.
"Huuuuh!?" Geir shouted with fear and shock.
"I ain't done yet." Zeus wheezes out, then grabs his head and twists it back to normal.
"He twisted it back!?" Geir shouted in horror.
"Our old man's back!" Ares shouted with pride. "I knew he would be!"
"Yes, he is." Hermes agreed.
"Indeed, he is…" Hade stated. "But it's clear he'll be reaching his limit soon." He thought.
"Oh, Pops. You really should be careful, that blow looks like it hurts a lot." Saitama told him.
"You don't need to tell me twice… now I see that your little speech wasn't just for show." Zeus said, rubbing his neck. "But you've piqued my interest now… this old man has got one thing, he'd like to ask you. So tell me, what's the reason you're here to fight?" He asked the bald hero.
"I don't really need a reason why." Saitama answered. "I'm just a hero for fun, I mean is there any more reason for a hero to want to protect the weak?" He asked, coolly.
After hearing the words of the hero, all of humanity was brought to tears from hearing such heartfelt compassion. And without any instructions all of humanity began to pray. In all the way they knew how. And in that moment, there were no diversions or race, gender, nationality or creed. The statesman and the criminals. The rich and the poor. The good and the evil. For the first time in history, humanity stood as one. They all wished for one thing.
SAITAMA'S VICTORY!
The Gods were shocked or impressed by the fact Humanity was able to unite for this moment, meanwhile, Geir, Brunhild, Null and the Representatives fighters were moved by Saitama's words.
"Sister… Saitama's just so damn cool!" Geir said with tears.
"He really is, you pick one heck of a fighter, Null." Brunhild said with a smile.
"Don't thank me, I'm just as impressed as you are." Null said with his own smirk.
"Hehehe, I can't help but love mortals when they do this kind of thing." Heart said with a smile.
"You even work up the crowd, eh? Not bad, kid…" Zeus wheezed, impressed.
"You should have just stayed down, because this next punch will probably kill you." Saitama said seriously.
"Hehehehehe, seems bluffing won't work anymore." Zeus said, clenching his body. "I'll admit it… you're a strong one…"
"So are you gonna surrender then-" Saitama was about to ask.
"I was foolish. I was foolish to think… I could win like this." Zeus said seriously. "I would have preferred no to do this since it tends to rattle my old bones… but it's the only way." He stated, then proceeded to pull and squeezed his own body, much to Saitama's and everyone else's shock and slight horror.
"What's that? Has the old geezer finally lost it?" The White and Black raven asked.
"You don't understand." A voice said from behind Odin, then the ravens were snatched by...Thor!? "Damn crows, pretending you know all! How 'bout I tear your heads off? Huh!?"
"L-Lord Thor!? But he died in Round 1!" The ravens said, shocked.
"I thought I told you. Never transform into Thor again…" Odin said, with a dead serious voice.
"Aha~. Oh geez~. It was just a prank~. You're as stiff as ever." The fake Thor said, and revealed to be Loki, the Norse God of Deceit! "I couldn't possibly harm the pets of my dear esteemed Uncle."
"Hmph." Odin scoffed.
"Loki… if you even turn into Thor again, I'll murder you." Baldur, The Rebel God said not pleased.
"Ok ok, I won't do it again." Loki said with a smile and nervous sweat. "But still, I haven't seen gramps do that in a few hundred million years. I'm still jealous of that human~. He's so lucky~." He stated.
"Huh? Why is that!?" The Black raven asked.
"See… it's because gramps serious mode is super rare~! Oh man~!" Loki said with a creepy excited smile, freaking out the ravens.
Back on the side of Humanity, Null and Brunhild had a serious face while Geir was frightened by Zeus's actions.
"Sister… Lord Null… Zeus is… starting to transform!" Geir shouted.
Zeus continues to squeeze and reform his body, all while screaming in agony. But then a huge burst of steam and sand kicked up, Zeus started to walk out the smoke screen but the moment Saitama sensed what he was up against he raised his fist and now had a serious look on his face, it was even more intense then Boros or Orochi. The Representatives of Humanity were taken back in shock at the presence of a serious threat as well.
"W-What the… my body just started shaking… what is this feeling?" Geir said, confused and scared.
"I don't know. But it's probably, instincts…" Brunhild said, holding herself as she shook as well.
Even Null and Hearts were shook, the Bookkeeper tries to keep a stoic face but the cold sweat and trembling didn't help his case.
"Mmmm. Yes, how marvelous~." Loki said with a wide grin.
Zeus had activated his final form, Adamas. Even some of the Gods were overwhelmed by the intense pressure, Hermes and Hades believe that in top shape, Zeus could last 12-13 minutes but due to the amount of damage he took he can only last 5-6 minutes at best, maybe even less. Zeus compressed all his muscles to their very limit, it is said they could be heard screaming as they held back the overwhelming power. Saitama, feeling as if a malevolent being was born for the first time in his life, took a defensive fighting stance. And the one that started the fight up again, was Zeus!
Zeus's final form: Adamas, has a secret technique. It condenses and stockpiles energy through the physically compressed muscles. In simple terms, Zeus forces all the power in his fists and releases an intense blow, making it the strongest strikes! Known as True Gods Right!
Saitama dodge and counter with a Serious Series: Serious Punch right to the face, it didn't faze Zeus and he throws another powerful punch, the two enter another intense brawl. Saitama continues to dodge the powerful deadly blow and throws Serious Punch after Serious Punchbut it doesn't seem to be enough anymore for what Zeus is now and it looks like he wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon, he continue to dodge as many as he could until one of the punches slam right again his left cheek and nearly sent him flying, so this is what it like to punch at this level of power, he dodge another killer blow and counter a fierce Serious Punch to the face. This was strange for him, just like in his dream when he fought those overgrown monsters and regain his emotion after so long, deep down he long for an opponent and fighting Zeus he saw that he wasn't like all his other opponent, he was able to take his normal punch, he was able to match blow for blow, he even caught him off guard and damage him, and now he was taking his Serious Punch this awaken something with him. Was it possible for Saitama to go all out? Would Zeus be able to withstand his full power? What would happen if he used "that forbidden move" here? Saitama took another killer blow to the right side of his face and some of his blood hit the ground, the bald hero dodge another punch and clenched his fist, every muscle of his tensed up and he focused all the power into his fist and unleashed his strongest punch, Serious Series: Ultimate Serious Punch! Saitama hit Zeus across the face with all his might and the effect of that was a powerful shockwave and Zeus being knocked back a bit and cause blood to splat out his mouth and onto the ground, he body tremble for a moment before eh quickly hit Saitama into face with another deadly punch. He survived! Zeus was still standing after taking his overwhelming punch! Saitama could go all out, he could fight with all he had! He was close, he was so close to gaining what he had lost all those years ago. Zeus attack with Meteor Jab while Saitama attacked with Serious Series: Consecutive Serious Punches the fist clash against each other creating shockwave, they slammed their fist against each other's face and battered one another, blood was splatting on to the ground as they bruised up their bodies.
They kept going back and forth with this deadly battle of powerful blows, it was nerve-wracking for everyone to watch and all of them were at the edge of their seats, with one last powerful punch both fighters sent each other skidding across the arena and into the wall, Saitama and Zeus cough up blood, the bald hero look to had seen better days his hero suit was torn up greatly as his chest was now bare to the whole and having blood drip down his bald head while Zeus's body was covered in deep fist shape dents and heavy bruises but for some reason Saitama was smiling for the first in what felt like forever.
"So… this is what it feels like… it's been so long that I've forgotten how good it feels to smile." Saitama thought to himself, wiping off blood from his lips all the emotions that he lost were swirling inside him, it was great!
"This kiddo… he's definitely one of a kind, I can't help but want this to last forever!" Zeus thought, spitting out blood and a few more teeth.
Saitama and Zeus launch at each other and with their fist cocked back they slam it into each other's face at full power! Neither one of them wavered and continued to unleash powerful blow after powerful blow with all their might, steam was oozing off of Saitama's body as he battled against Zeus!
"No! This is bad!" Brunhild shouted, panicking a bit.
"Dammit! I didn't think this was possible!" Null cursed.
And her reason for that was even though Saitama was able to withstand his body beginning to suffer the backlash of the constant use of his full power, it surprised everyone but Brunhild and Null only paled.
"He's smoking…!? What's going on?" Geir asked, confused and nervous.
"He's started to overheat…!" Brunhild stated.
"Overheat?" Geir asked, not understanding.
"You probably haven't noticed, but even though Zeus keeps throwing them out like they're nothing… normally, every single one of those swings would be an unavoidable one-hit kill!" Brunhild explained. "But Saitama's unique body is able to handle just fine, but the problem is within himself."
"He's never used his full power before, let alone for so long. The backlash is probably unbearable, I doubt Saitama is aware of that fact… but soon if this continues." Null said seriously.
"So you're saying that at this rate.." Geir said with fear in her voice.
"Saitama will be the first to fall if he doesn't end this soon." Null finished, with a grim tone.
"I never expected he would be this much of a pain in the ass! That old fucking gorilla bastard!" Brunhild thought, biting her lip in anger.
"He's overheating!?" The ravens shouted.
"Yep." Loki answered. "He'll hit his limit soon." He stated.
"So Zeus's victory is assured at this rate." The White raven stated. "Hell yeah! Time to wipe the look off of that mortal's face!" The Black raven cheered.
"How naive~. Don't go counting your eggs yet, look." Loki told them, and Zeus's body morphed and looked distorted and even had a few leaks of blood.
"L-Lord Zeus!? H-His… His flesh looks like it'll be ripped to shreds at any moment!" The ravens shouted.
"That valley of blows won't last forever, Gramp's body is on the brink too." Loki stated. "So if we were to compare it to something…" He said, taking two wine glasses and made copies of Saitama's and Zeus's faces. "The two bodies are filling with the spirit of their owner… whose life will begin to spill out first…?" He asked, getting excited. "Dear me, that was close~. Now, they're both at peak tension. All that's left is a trigger… and the dam will come crumbling down."
The fight between Saitama and Zeus grew even more intense, no matter how many blows Saitamam and Zeus shared neither seemed to be slowing at all, in fact it was the opposite they were picking up even more speed. Zeus goes for a Divine Ax but Saitama blocks and counters with a Serious Punch to the face of the elder God, then both attack with another barrage of blows using Meteor Jabs and Serious Series: Consecutive Serious Punches! The battle grows more intense but neither of them falter an inch, and continue to give it their all to claim victory for the side!
"Hermes… Uncle…" Ares spoke.
"Yes, brother?" Hermes asked.
"Mmm?" Hades said, looking at his nephew.
"I never once thought, that a fight could be so beautiful." Ares said, with tears in his eyes.
"Indeed. How wondrous…" Hermes agreed.
"Very much…" Hades agreed.
"S-Sister… Lord N-Null… I-I can't stop the tears." Geir told them.
"Saitama." Brunhild and Null thought.
Both Gods and Humanity cheered on Zeus and Saitama, the one punch hero continued to bash his fist against Zeus but the old God continued unleashing blow after blow. Zeus channeled lightning through his power and into his fist and the next punch that hit Saitama created a thundering explosion but it didn't faze the bald hero and he threw another full power Serious Punch to his gut! Saitama was panting but the swirl of emotion within so long was only growing, he was finally able to enjoy himself but a thought came to him as to why this had to happen. He threw another powerful punch and knocked Zeus back and decided to take his turn to ask a question.
"Say… let me ask you something, why are you doing this? Why do you wish to fight in the deathmatch?" Saitama asked Zeus.
"It's simple. I don't wish to lose, as long as we fight we win… such are the Gods." Zeus answered.
"I see…" Saitama said firmly.
He didn't know what to expect from that answer, perhaps he was hoping there was more to this than simply wanting to wipe out Humanity just because they wanted to. Then it hit him, he wanted to be a hero more than just for fun, he did it to protect others that couldn't protect themselves, that is why he was here now so that he could use his overwhelming strength to protect Humanity, so that his loved ones could live to see another day. And if the Gods wanted to take that away from them… he would punch them with all he got! The emotion within swells and grows giving more power then he had before, he lets them loose to rampage after being bottled up and forget for so long at the moment, everyone thought another monster was unleashed! Because Saitama's muscle look even more bulky and his eyes were completely engulfed in a burning golden color, his skin was slightly red from all the steam, it was as if he had entered some kind of Berserker Mode.
"If you want to win and wipe out Humanity, you'll have to get through me!" Saitama said in a deeper, more monster-like voice. "Because I won't let you, because I'm a hero!"
The berserk Saitama lunged at Zeus and hit direct in the face with a Serious Series: Ultimate Serious Punch, an even greater shockwave than before was unleashed and everyone was beyond shock at the sight of Saitama. The now monstrous hero was pummeling Zeus without giving the Greek God a chance to fight back as he delivers beyond full power punch after beyond full power punch all with a battle cry.
"Wh-What happened to Saitama, why is he like this!?" Geir asked, freak out.
"I believe all the emotion that he's lost after so long came back to the surface and now he channels all those emotions to give himself even greater power than before." Null explained. "I can only hope that his body holds out…" He said unsure.
"What is with this mortal? Is he even a human!?" Ares asked shocked and was freaking out as well.
"Deary me, I never thought father would be pushed back this far." Hermes stated.
Hades remained silent but knew that Zeus didn't have much longer before his body gave out from the strain.
"Oh may, what a show. This mortal is truly something else~!" Loki said, enjoying the fight with a creepy and excited look on his face.
"I'll be honest, I wish it was me down there fighting that guy." Baldur said, having a savage grin on his face as he too was excited. "These mortals might just be fun to play with after all…" He said, looking across at a certain Saiyan.
Cumber felt some intense gaze and saw Baldur staring at him, he did slit throat jester at the Saiyan, which made him glare darkly at the Norse God and promise to slaughter him.
Saitama keep going with his punch, more steam was coming off his body and just as he was about to try and take the Father of the Cosmo's head off with a powerful uppercut, he felt a twitch of intense pain within right arm and that cause it to cramp up, this gave Zeus the chance to deliver a counter punch to the face of the hero, sending skidding across the ground. Zeus lunges forward and as Saitama brace himself to counter his whole body cramp up from intense pain and all he could do was tank the explosive punch to face as only more follow powerful punches!
"Saitama! Wait… he's… Saitama… is he…" Geir said, panicking.
"It's likely he can no longer move his body, all he can do now is take Zeus's blows." Brunhild stated.
"Dammit…" Null cursed.
"Dear me, it seems that our dear hero was the first to fall~." Loki said with a smirk.
"It seems so… too bad, he was doing so well until now." Baldur said, wishing to see more.
"Phew… I guess this time it's the end." The white raven stated. "Yeah, sure I, although… he was… one hell of a guy…" The black raven stated.
"I guess… this is it…" Brunhild said, despairing. Null went silent but had a grim face.
All of Humanity was despairing at the sight of Saitama taking a beating, even his friends and allies were pleading for him to stop. All of Humanity, even Adam and his family were begging and pleading for the hero to stop so that he didn't suffer.
"Huh… a baby is crying somewhere… it is not just that… women, children, and men are crying and pleading… I can hear it all, Genos, Fubuki, King, even you father…" Saitama thought. "Don't worry, it's alright… really, because your hero is here to protect you all. I'll punch anyone that tri-" He tries to finish that thought but is punched in the face.
All of Humanity and the Gods thought it was over for Saitama, but the one punch hero for fun took one more grasp at the thread of victory!
He powers through the pain and grabs Zeus by the beard and bash his head against his face once! Breaking his nose and causing blood to gush out, making the Greek God flinch in pain, blood dripped down Satiama's face.
"Got ya." Saitama said with a tired but confident smile that freaked out all the Gods.
Zeus and Saitama both let out a battle cry and punch each other, Zeus was channeling his lightning into his fist while Saitama engaged his Berserker Mode once more and both hit each other with all their might! The two entered their final bout of blows, they hit each other with a barrage of powerful punches they are giving it their all in this fight for their side. Their blood and sweat painted the ground of the arena, it was intense and at this point no one knew how this was going to end.
Neither side was able to utter a word. And amidst that silence only the painful sound of flesh and bone being beating was heard, and that sound echoed across the arena. Until the moment where it was clear that it was about to an end.
"This is it, everyone… thank you." Saitama thought with a smile.
Saitama wasn't a professional in martial arts but after all that time watching Bang fight and the martial tournament he entered, he had a good idea how it was done. He clenched his fist and focused all his power into his fist, steam was bursting from his body and the heat was intense and instead of punching with his arm, he put his would body into and unleashed a powerful martial punch, Serious Series: God-Level Serious Punch! Saitama's fist was burning hot as flaming steam was around it and slammed against Zeus's chest, a burst of force and steam blast right through his chest while his lightning coated fist slammed against his face!
Zeus fell to his knees, coughing up blood and reverted back to his normal form and remained silent, there was a big bloody and burning wound on his chest with a deep fist shaped dent. Everyone thought that Saitama had rained the victor, but that was far from the case. The truth was that Saitama, the Hero for Fun and The Strongest Man… was dead!
"MASTER SAITAMA!" Genos shouted, upset at the loss of his master.
"Dammit, I know it should have been me, that stupid bald idiot." Tatsumaki cursed, pissed at the loss of the bald hero.
"Saitama… no." Fubuki said, in tears.
"Hmph… you only just realized? He'd sure was something… he passed on after I dropped… but even so, he still wouldn't bend a knee. No… if anything… even in death, he was still standing firm!" Zeus stated. "Phew… hey kiddo. Seems you managed to put this geezer flat on his ass. You're one hell of a man…" He told the now deceased Saitama. "What a shame… if this were a contest of endurance or strength… no doubt about it, i'd have to give it to ya." He said, looking at his wound from the hero.
The battle of the strongest bare-hand fighters between the Hero for Fun and the Father of the Gods has ended, and at the end Humanity has suffered their first loss and has taken its first step towards execution.
Round 2 of Ragnarok:
Saitama vs. Zeus: The victor is Zeus
Deciding Move: A Straight Punch/Serious Series: God-Level Serious Punch
Scoreboard: Humanity: 0 and God: 1
R1: Tie
R2: G
The knuckle dusters began to crack and turn to dust along with Saitama's body, all of mankind looked on in shock and cried out at the loss of the hero.
For the second time, Humanity suffered the despair of being unable to win over the Gods. And yet, all Humanity stood tall in that moment! Even though the hero, Saitama, had passed… he had left a great inheritance to everyone. The power to repel against the Gods and the force to do so with everything you had.
Null's eyes were covered by his hood, all the Representatives of Humanity stood there speechless at the sight before them.
"This is what you all are up against. The power of the Gods is to be taken seriously." Null said in a serious tone, his body began to shake and white and black aura oozed off him and when he looked at fighters for mankind, his eyes were bright red and had a fiery aura. "Now tell me, what are you going to do after watching that?" He asked seriously.
His answer was met not with words but action, each fighter couldn't suppress their emotion after watching what happened. Musashi had his blank face but a aura of bloodlust was oozing off him, Kanho Agito had monstrous grin on anger as his body intense up with vein appearing and throbbing, Sagat had a deep frown as a faint orange aura coming off his body, Esdeath had a sadist smile and a dark blue aura with ice surrounding her, Acnologia had savage grin as his magic leak out and form dragon like face, Escanor held a stoic face but he was radiating a great amount of heat the melting everything around him, Yami had calm face but his dark magic was coming out and crushing everything around him, Red Hood clenched his gun and cocked them and the look in eyes say that someone was going to die, Katakuri had killer look in his eyes and black bolt spark off him from Haki, Jiraiya had unpleasant frown and promise to make whatever God he faced pay for this, Johnny Blaze was now the Ghost Rider and they hellfire was completely around them in venganceful rage, Cumber's dark and evil Ki surrounded his body as his eyes had red glow of complete rage and even his hair stop on end much like a Super Saiyan.
I thought so." Null stated, he turned to check on Brunhild and Geir. "If things continue, then what was all that planning for!?" He thought.
They all walk away in order to repair for the next round, Cumber was no longer able to contain his rage and fly high into the sky and moments later, small flashes of light were seen. Hearts remain with visible frown as small sparks of a gold aura flare out of him, he turned and followed Null, every step he took left a deep footprint from some powerful force of gravity.
"Curses Gods…" Heart said in surpassed anger.
