Witch Special

Chapter 99 What is this? A stone pillar? Pull it out.

Although it is true that Saitama is a bald man, he always believes that his stinginess is acquired, not hereditary or genetic, which is incurable, so perhaps he can still be saved.

In fact, just a few years ago, Saitama still had thick black hair. Although he had a somewhat gloomy temperament at that time, as long as he cleaned up well, he could be considered a handsome guy. However, one day, the times took a crossroads. Saitama, who should have been working hard to become an ordinary company employee, suddenly awakened the idea of ​​becoming a hero who could help others. In order to achieve this goal, he trained himself hard (meaning to do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups, plus 100 squats and a 10-kilometer long-distance run every day for three years. No matter it was very cold in winter or very hot in summer. He did not turn on the air conditioner at home.). During this process, Saitama's hair began to fall out in clumps, and eventually became the boiled egg-like appearance he has today.

I became stronger, but also balder. Perhaps this is the price of becoming stronger.

Because he wasn't born with it, but rather had it once and then lost it, Saitama's resentment towards his hair is deeply ingrained. He also firmly believes that he has only lost his hair temporarily and that he will be able to get it back one day. Influenced by this belief, Saitama is extremely disgusted by words like "bald head," "bald man," and "bald donkey." While he wouldn't get so angry as to punch someone just because of such a name, don't expect Saitama to be in a good mood afterward.

Even if he's the world's best esper, even if he's the Hero Association's most impressive figure, the S-ranked No. 2, so what? If you make our Saitama unhappy, he'll still give you a sour face.

"Are you a kid who came here to watch the fun? It's very dangerous here, get out of here quickly." Saitama waved his hands as if he was chasing away a fly.

A vein bulged across Tornado's forehead, clearly irritated by Saitama's dismissive attitude. But then she seemed to reconsider: it was pointless to get angry with a lowly C-rank hero. While beautiful and charming, she wasn't a bank account, and couldn't possibly please everyone. Therefore, Tornado's attitude towards those who inexplicably harbored a grudge against her was always one of condescension, disdain, and indifference.

Tornado didn't realize that she was the one who made Saitama unhappy first, and she thought that Saitama had a grudge against her.

Since Saitama wasn't going to cooperate, Tornado didn't bother wasting any more time on him. After shifting her attention away from Saitama's bald head, which gleamed in the sun, Tornado's first focus was the large, flat circular square beneath her feet, which looked as if it had been rolled back and forth by a steamroller.

As the most powerful esper in the world, Tornado's knowledge of various superpowers wasn't necessarily world-class, but it was certainly among the best. So, upon seeing this definitely unnatural artifact, Tornado immediately thought of the superpower that could cause this effect.

That's right, it must be a superpower. Those idiots who only know how to sweat and show off their muscles couldn't possibly create such a detailed landscape. As for those sinister guys who always talk about science, they could definitely do it if they really wanted to, but there was no strange smell in the air, so they could basically be ruled out.

Only superpowers, all-powerful superpowers, superpowers that can solve all problems, can truly create this scene. There must be a top-tier… no, a super-top-tier superpower nearby.

While this world is dominated by a dance between heroes and monsters, those with truly extraordinary powers are actually quite rare. Otherwise, even if you include the lowest, more useless C-rank heroes, the number of people wouldn't even exceed a thousand. And among these, those with superpowers are the rarest.

After all, whether it's martial arts, training, or research, one can change their current situation through hard work. But superpowers are different. A person's gift for superpowers is fixed from birth. If they're inherently stubborn, then even with rigorous training, electric shocks, needles inserted into the brain, constant hypnotic music, hanging upside down, and even self-harm, miracles won't happen. In the realm of superpowers, a person's ceiling is essentially determined from the womb.

In Tornado's impression, there seems to be only one person with super powers who has the ability to create such a large flat square. His ability is to control gravity... What's his name?

Never mind. It didn't matter. That was all there was to it. Perhaps compared to the others, his skill level was quite good. If he took the Hero Level Assessment, he'd probably easily get an S-rank, but compared to her trembling Tornado, he was still at least an order of magnitude behind.

"Then next... that's it." Tornado looked toward the nearby black stone pillar, which was constantly rising from the ground and now towering into the clouds. Although she couldn't sense the elemental magical talent, with her superior mental power, Tornado could still sense an uncontrollable energy surging within the stone pillar. Whether it was the gentle tremors in the ground or the slowly rotating swirling dark clouds overhead, all of it was connected to this black stone pillar.

Her primary reason for traveling thousands of miles from distant City A to the remote region of City Z was to quell a massive tornado that threatened to destroy the city if it came too close. Although upon arrival, she discovered the dark clouds were merely slowly rotating, not yet forming a destructive tornado, as a hero, ensuring the safety of the citizens was part of her duty. Therefore, Tornado resolved to destroy the black stone pillar, severing the source of the dark clouds and restoring clear skies to the residents of City Z.

"Stay away, otherwise I won't be responsible if I hurt you." After saying this, Tornado raised a hand towards Lin Zhenxi's signal amplification tower, and a green light began to bloom from the inside out.

However, the telekinesis, once so powerful, hit a wall today. A translucent energy shield composed of hexagonal armor plates suddenly appeared in the air around the black stone pillar, blocking Tornado's telekinetic attack. Although the plates, like a squeezed elastic ball, contracted towards the center under the pressure of the telekinesis, the greater the contraction, the greater the resistance. Soon, Tornado's telekinesis could no longer compress the energy shield, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

Then at this moment, Lin Zhenxi's voice came again from the sky above his head.

"Ms. Tornado, please stop your attacks. This is Baizhi's legitimate property, not a secret weapon of the Monster Organization. It will not cause any harm to City Z."

"Who are you trying to fool? City Z sent me here. If your thing is legal, can they ask City A for help? And who are you? You expect me to believe you without even showing your face. It's ridiculous."

Tornado rolled her eyes and spoke in a sullen tone. At the same time, the amplitude of her hair fluttering increased, and a surge of telekinesis continuously flowed from her body, applying it to the energy shield on the stone pillar. She seemed to intend to rely on her own brute force to directly tear down the energy shell.

Lin Zhenxi, hiding in the clouds above, watched the green-haired, flat-chested fake lolita display her might below, her scalp tingling. While Lin Zhenxi seemed to have blocked Tornado's telekinesis, the price she paid was that nearly 30% of the electricity flowing from City Z was diverted to strengthening her shield. Furthermore, Lin Zhenxi's primary magic attribute was Earth, which offered the strongest defense, and her armor-shaped energy shield offered the strongest overall resistance to pressure. In terms of energy protection, Lin Zhenxi alone could now do the work of five of her usual counterparts.

But even so, the overall size of the magic shield has been compressed by about 70%, which means that the average strength of the magic shield is now nine (3 squared) times higher than when it was at its normal size.

When designing the signal amplifier tower's self-defense system, Lin Zhenxi considered it for a high-intensity modern warfare environment, essentially a defense against direct and continuous missile and heavy artillery bombardment. This was, after all, a world veneered in science, yet ultimately unscientific, dominated by heroes and monsters. An army composed of ordinary people could do very little against monsters. Only extremely expensive heavy weapons like artillery and missiles could pose a threat.

According to Lin Zhenxi's design, even if those monsters crashed their heads into the signal amplification tower's magic shield, the shield wouldn't be damaged. However, instead of the monsters attacking, Tornado, the world's most powerful esper on the human side, came running over, eager to tear down her tower. And most importantly, in Lin Zhenxi's current state, it seemed she couldn't stop this crazy woman.

If the signal amplification tower were fully completed, with the added power of the magic tower, Lin Zhenxi wouldn't mind a clash with Tornado, the most powerful esper. But right now, the amplification tower was still just a stone pillar, completely useless. Relying solely on electricity pumped from City Z, Lin Zhenxi had no idea what to do with Tornado, and even if she had, she wouldn't have the ability to execute it.

Unless she gave up on guiding the construction of the signal amplification tower with magic power and used the class templates in the Witch's Book, perhaps that was her only chance of success. However, if she did that, all her efforts would be wasted. Without guidance, the signal amplification tower would grow wildly, eventually becoming a strange, monolithic spectacle. Therefore, this option was completely unrealistic.

Boss Saitama, Li is doing something stupid, please save him quickly!
