Two Minutes Earlier

"Saitama! Take the Monster King, and watch out for Garou! Caulifla, Tatsumaki, support him! I don't need any help!"

On the other side of the battlefield, in a place not far from the world-shattering duel between Gray and Boros, there was another battle taking place. The battle was far less explosive, though the very planet of Monas below Saitama's feet was certainly being altered.

I'll just punch him. Though I'll need to punch him a lot.

As Gray disappeared, then reappeared behind Boros in a movement that even Saitama's eyes couldn't track, the bald man just turned his attention to the massive, fleshy form of Boros. He had already exchanged blows with the Monster King once before, while Gray was lying unconscious in the swampy forest that was Monas, and it had been a pretty fruitless effort.

It wasn't that Saitama didn't have the power to take down Orochi, but instead that Orochi continued to heal and grow stronger, eventually evolving to the point that even Monas itself was a part of his body. As such, it was no longer as simple as just punching Orochi really hard, as any attacks Saitama landed were just regenerated as the monster pulled from the very planet under his feet.

He was really strong last time. Will I be able to keep up this time?

Saitama would, as his power grew rapidly when matched with an opponent he couldn't take down easily, even if he didn't know it. His legs tensed even as they were kicking off the air, and he burst forward, the air curving around him as he launched at Orochi with his arm cocked back.

Orochi's new body twisted in response, the combination of flesh and terrain moving effortlessly. The ground shot upward in a pillar at Saitama, being flexed as if it were Orochi's muscles, but Saitama casually stomped his foot downward. The pillar reached him, intent on launching him far into the sky, but instead was cracked and destroyed as Saitama used it as a platform to launch forward even quicker.

Orochi's face twisted with annoyance, and the terrain writhed violently as a dozen serpent-like tendrils erupted from the ground, snapping toward the bald hero. Saitama zigzagged through them effortlessly, his expression bored but focused, smacking away the monstrous pieces of Monas - which were easily hundreds of feet thick - with casual backhands. A particularly massive tendril surged up like a tidal wave, curving forward towards Saitama, but Saitama punched straight through it with the arm lazing at his side, and the impact created a shockwave that smashed through the other tendrils instantly.

Saitama finally reached Orochi, his fist cocked back in front of the Monster King's face, and he swung forward. His fist rocketed with the force of a bomb, slamming into Orochi's face and destroying it instantly. A shockwave reverberated through the rest of the monster's body from the blow, as his torso and legs crumbled, as well as the legs of Psykos above. The entire top half fell downward like a castle with no foundation, landing on the surface of Monas with a massive boom, but they were quickly dragged into the ground as Orochi reformed - looking as if the planet had eaten up the Monster King.

"Is he gone?" Saitama asked blankly as he landed on the ground, staring where Orochi had been as the surface of Monas was strangely still.

Then, the ground split apart beneath him abruptly, and pure-red molten flesh spewed upward, forming a colossal Orochi face with glowing eyes and gnashing teeth. Saitama casually launched into the air as Orochi tried and failed to swallow him whole, the planet-made teeth nipping at his heels as a massive neck shot out behind him.
