200. Black Bullet : War Against Scorpion and Tokyo Area Government (1)
As Kayaba had predicted, after 30-40 minutes after Kaito's broadcast, from the sea, the chat group members could see the shadow of a giant monster Scorpion getting bigger from afar.
This Scorpion is much bigger than the original one, with each tentacle as tall as a skyscraper... and released dark energy hue out of its body, which gives a dread feeling to any living organism. Scorpuon was also followed by a staggering number of Gastrea creatures, both flying and aquatic types... probably in a few hundred thousand, or even millions of them following it. Kaito wouldn't be surprised if this is all of the Gastrea creatures residing in the Atlantic Ocean that happen to follow Scorpion's command right now.
...
"So that's the monster! Can we really defeat it?" (Misaka)
"How big... this creature probably could destroy the world by itself if left alone. Not to mention how many monsters are following it." (Archer)
"This disgusting monster needs to cease to exist!" (Gilgamesh)
"We need to stop this creature at all costs!" (Saber)
"That monster is even more dangerous than Juubi. I can feel it, Kaito." (Kaguya)
...
Almost all members and servants who saw Scorpion felt anxious and nervous, even Gilgamesh looked very serious because Scorpion reminded him of Tiamat very much. However, while they are contemplating how to attack such a gargantuan and dangerous creature, suddenly Saitama walks forward and enthusiastically requests that they give everyone a surprise.
"Everyone... please, leave the biggest monster to me!"
While clenching his red gloves, Saitama excitedly proclaimed, "I can feel it... this monster is quite strong! I want to fight him!"
""...""
Hearing Saitama's request, all members smiled at each other and tacitly agreed to let Saitama do it himself. They could see the excited face on Saitama, and as everyone knew Saitama-sensei's situation, they were glad if this fight could help him feel something.
Anyway, they also know how absurdly strong Saitama-sensei could become in the original and believe he could perfectly handle it alone. Now that Saitama takes the main threat, the rest of the servants and chat group members feel much relaxed... since it means they just need to take care of all the Gastrea creatures that follow Scorpion.
...
"That's okay for me because my ability is more suited to cleaning the small creature anyway. But I will help you if you ask me, sensei." (Kaito)
"My ability is ineffective against such a big creature. I have no complaint." (Sakuya)
"I don't think my ability can affect her, either." (Yuu)
"She's too scary for me and Fate!" (Nanoha)
"I would rather let the servant clean the gastrea creatures around Scorpion." (Manaka)
"Unless someone can seal it, I don't think I could fight such a big creature. She's way more dangerous than Juubi." (Kaguya)
"Have fun, Sensei! Let us take the mobs and enjoy your fight!" (Misaka)
...
Aika, who didn't mind leaving it to Saitama either (because in her main plan, Saitama was the main power against Scorpion), nodded but suggested, "I suggest that you attack it now, since we are afraid that your fight'd impact us if you are doing it on land."
"Umm... Got it. Thank you, everyone!"
Hearing their approval, Saitama clenches his fist, ready to take the first attack. "You guys... Please take care!"
After that, Saitama launched himself toward the gargantuan monster of terror on the sea... ready to start the battle!
"[Serious Punch!]"
...!!!
*Woosh*
However, even though Saitama attacks absurdly suddenly and fast, the giant monster Scorpion, with the help of the curse strengthening, was able to react at such speed easily. Using one of her strongest tentacles, Scorpion then slams it toward Saitama to intercept his attack, able to react to her main body.
"Grrroa!"
...!!
The two then collided with each other, and an extremely terrifying force suddenly erupted centered on their presence-- blasting everything else around them... Creating intense light and an explosion!
**BOOM**
...!!!!
This force of collision seemed to tear the sky and earth apart, making the whole world tremble... and could be felt by people from a hundred miles away and even by anyone all around the planet.
The good news is that a lot of the Gastrea creatures followed Scorpion nearby, also getting affected by their clashes and getting torn apart in the process.
But the bad news is, Saitama and Scorpion's intense fight is creating a huge explosion above the sea, causing very strong winds, earthquakes, and huge tsunami waves in all directions with incredibly destructive power!
...
"T-Tsunami is coming! Watch out!" (Robin)
"That bald man is so terrible. Retreat, everyone!" (Emiya)
"Such strong power, I admit that guy is truly terrifying!" (Gilgamesh)
"Fate-chan! Let's save everyone! Kayaba-san, Uta-san, hold onto me and Fate!" (Nanoha)
"I can fly too! Anyone can also hang on me!" (Ravel)
"Get away from the coast! We are going to have a big Tsunami coming in! Kaguya, bring everyone to fly while I am going to pull some barrier props to reduce the impact on this country!" (Kaito)
"Should I help by freezing the ocean, master?" (Akitsu)
"It's too big and too destructive, forget it. Akitsu-san, please retreat!" (Manaka)
"Saitama-sensei, at this rate, your punch is going to sink this country!" (Misaka)
"It's my fault! I forgot Saitama sensei in the original so strong he could blow up Jupiter using his sneeze! I asked the system, bit too late!" (Aika)
...
All the members panicked and quickly flew into the air, and also helped the members who couldn't fly as well. Manaka, Aika, and Kaito also quickly erected barriers to defend everyone from the deadly wind in the air, and even reduced the impact of the destruction.
Unfortunately, the military and promoters who were already approaching the Iwaki area to capture the Kaito group weren't so lucky in that regard.
Immediately after it reaches the land, the dangerous wind current quickly sweeps across the sky, giving very strong turbulence to the helicopters and airplanes in the area, and the Tsunami quickly destroys anything close to it!
...
"Aaaahh, help me, god!" (Soldier)
"We're falling! We have to escape from the plane!" (Random Promoter)
"Enju!! Kisara!! Hold on to me! We're jumping!"
""Rentaro!""
Realizing the helicopter they were in was about to fall, Rentaro quickly decided to save their life. Rentaro immediately grasped both Kisara and Enju's hands while falling, preparing for a harsh landing.
Fortunately, as the protagonist group, the plot armor does exist, and they were able to survive from such a catastrophic event-- albeit getting seriously injured in the process.
Unfortunately, it's only the beginning of the fight between Saitama and Scorpion. Now, Saitama and Scorpion have started fighting seriously the entire time on the sea, and it guarantees the scale of their fight will get higher the more they fight.
Every chat group member also starts fighting the massive Gastrea creature armies that come along with Scorpion after the initial impact. Although there are only a dozen chat group members and servants on the battlefield, each of them was strong enough to handle a hundred or a thousand of them alone... so they were perfectly capable of stopping it.
After all, while it looks scary and stronger, the Gastrea creature mostly acts based on instinct, like an animal, and there's also no remorse for killing monsters that would harm living creatures, unlike fighting humans themselves.
>>>>
*Brrrr* *Brrr*
...!!!
"What's happening in Iwaki?! What is this big earthquake?!" Tendo Kikunojo cursed with fear, confused about what's going on right now. Naturally, the impact of the earthquake was felt especially strongly in the Tokyo Area, who only 200 km away from the Iwaki area.
"Commander... look at what the satellite captured..."
...!!!
"What... What are they?"
Tendo Kikunojo, Seitenshi, and the officials looked at the satellite screen and couldn't believe what they saw. A spectacular war between dozens of superpowered humans and the Gastrea army was shown on the screen-- with the peak Saitama and Scorpion fighting in the sea.
And it's not only the Tokyo Area that witnesses this event. (as Kayaba allows it to do so, let them hack into his system).
Because of the massive earthquake felt by the whole planet earlier, many official governments of countries from all over the world, not just the Tokyo Area, then tried to find out what was happening through the satellite... only to witness an extraordinary battle between the strongest human and the strongest Gastrea creature on this planet.
...
"As expected, you should be much stronger than Boros! And your regeneration is really strong!!" Saitama excitedly grinned on the screen, repeatedly avoiding and fighting Scorpion!
"Grrroaa!"
"As long as I am here, you won't be able to take a step on the land!"
"Rrrrraaaawr!"
...!!!
*BOOM*
Saitama did his best to destroy Scorpion, but no matter how hard he punched and destroyed part of its body, the creature was able to grow it back in 0.1 seconds as if nothing had happened.
*BOOM*
Thanks to the energy that Kaito's curses provide to her, Scorpion has been able to regenerate endlessly despite the damage, and even gets stronger in the fight with Saitama.
*BOOM*
It's like fighting both Orochi, the leader of the monster association in the Saitama world, and Garou with infinite growth combined.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
After that, the two were intertwined and confronting each other, and their respective strength were like a huge millstone, grinding down this world bit by bit. Countless mist comes from the vapor of water and other Gastrea creature body parts rolled back into the sky, majestic and flying like a waterfall flowing backwards, like a towering air column, reaching the sky, vast and terrifying!
Both are extremely terrifying force that seems equal, but in fact, both of them are also improving their strength at an alarming rate!
The sea seemed to be frightened by these two terrifying forces, and the surging sea water fled in all directions all the time, like a frightened wild horse all the time... affecting the coast where chat group member are currently also doing their best fighting endless Gastrea creatures.
...
"That bald guy... He's stood in the water and fought Scorpion. Is he even a human?" (Official A)
"Maybe not. Even the other people that stay on land are not human either!" (Official B)
"What we have done! To make an enemy with such terrifying strength!?" (Official C)
...
While Saitama was busy fighting seriously with Scorpion at sea, other chat group members and servants were now busy cleaning up the Gastrea creature that came with Scorpion, which Kayaba approximately guessed was about 1/4 of all the Gastrea creatures in Japan, which was probably in millions, as more Gastrea creatures came into the area as time went on.
This is a very scary big number to deal with, but since chat group members have been prepared and most of them are REALLY strong, they were able to deal with it properly. In fact, most chat group members seem to have fun, seeing this as a chance to go all out after improvement brought from the chat group.
