"How much longer?" Saitama scratched his chest. "Zamezon?"
"M-My time's up..." Zamezon coughed up even more blood. "The shockwaves of your punches are still tingling inside."
"Oh!" Saitama exclaimed. "Sorry for that."
SPLASH!
As soon as Saitama ended his speech, Zamezon burst into countless pieces. Some of his blood fell on Saitama's bald head.
With no expression on his face, Saitama muttered. "You could have at least given me some clothes before going."
Suddenly, an intense amount of light showered upon Saitama, making his whole body glow as if covered in a holy light.
"Looks like I am almost there," Saitama thought as he covered his private parts.
Within a few moments, the planet Kerbes came into view. Saitama glanced around, only to figure out that it wasn't as beautiful as Zamezon mentioned.
From Saitama's point of view, the entire planet was barren, covered in rocky debris. Not a single tree was in sight, no matter how far the eyes could see. The scent of rocks, metals, garbage, and debris filled the air, and the two bright suns in the sky provided a gesture of warmth.
Saitama pinched his nose to shut down the smell, locking his gaze on a nearby bird that was struggling to fly. "Is this what Zamezon meant by beautiful?"
He successfully landed on the ground after a few minutes.
"I don't know where to go," Saitama slowly opened his mouth to sneeze.
Suddenly, a mosquito came out of nowhere and entered his mouth, making him cough loudly.
After a bit of struggle, the mosquito got out of his mouth and started to buzz near his ear. He immediately slapped his ears in hopes of killing the mosquito, but it narrowly escaped.
"You damned mosquito," He clenched his teeth, grounding them together sideways. "I'll not let you escape again!"
As soon as he turned towards the mosquito, he saw countless mosquitoes buzzing on a large rock, shining in brown light.
Saitama stared at them before laughing, and his eyes instantly turned mischievous. "Not even your mommy can save you now."
He swiftly lunged at the mosquitoes and obliterated their existence. The punch also destroyed the rock they were buzzing on, giving way to a puddle of dirty water.
This water looked so disgusting that it seemed like the whole planet united together to pollute this puddle. The stench it gave was so awful that Saitama was about to vomit.
Unable to open his eyes, Saitama retreated far away from the puddle.
After managing to open his eyes, he scanned his surroundings and saw that his punch had given way to another disgusting sight—a large, polluted river.
"I should find some people," He whispered before running away in the opposite direction from the river.
After running for several minutes, he found nothing but colorful rocks. Although he was ignorant of it, most of them were veins of Iron, Copper, and Aluminium.
"Did I get thrown into some kind of Demon realm?" Saitama pondered while continuing to look around.
On his way, he encountered a monster, about ten feet in height. Its face was covered beneath the dense leaves that looked like freshly grown spinach.
Saitama glanced at his stomach which growled louder than the echoes caused by lightning, and then gradually shifted his gaze at the monster.
"Hehe..." With a devilish smile, he lunged at the monster and punched it in a way that didn't damage the green leaves present on it.
As the spinach began to fall, he swiftly collected them and muttered. "Surely these don't taste bad, right?"
He placed the leaves on the ground and picked up two equal-sized stones. He then gently rubbed them together to create a spark, but as soon as the rocks came in contact, one of them shattered into several pieces.
"Hoh!" Saitama gasped. "I accidentally poured too much strength into it."
Just as he bent down to pick up another stone, he realized something crucial and sighed. "I can't start a fire without wood."
He picked up the leaves and started running again. In a few minutes, he conveniently came across a one-foot log lying on the ground.
He stared at it before exclaiming. "Lucky!"
He moved his hand towards the log, but suddenly, it began to move. Within a moment, it grew twice its size and started mumbling. "Food. After Days."
It wasn't able to speak in human language, but nonetheless, Saitama nodded. "Yes, you're right. Food."
He instantly gave it a chop, killing it. Afterwards, he carefully examined the dead log for any damage and sighed. "My fuel is safe!"
Again, he picked up rocks and rubbed them together. This time, it didn't break, and after some sparks emerged, he efficiently set the log on fire while manually holding the leaves above it. "Camping sure is hard."
He avoided cooking all the leaves and instead placed some over his private parts to not look like a pervert to other humans.
The meal was bitter yet somewhat decent so he sprung back into action while sticking out his tongue for some fresh air. "Once I reach Earth, I'll probably eat some ramen."
Several hours passed, and nothing crossed Saitama's path except more debris, colorful rocks, and heaps of garbage. Eventually, it was nighttime.
Bitterly cold winds took over the warmness in the air, and Saitama felt it better than anyone on the planet. His nose was running, his body was shaking, and he continuously rubbed his arms to generate heat.
Bored, Saitama looked up at the sky and was amused to see five moons in the sky. What amazed him even more was that all of them were in shades of red.
However, while he was gazing at the sky, an abrupt loud howling voice echoed from a distance, capturing Saitama's attention. "And I was wondering about food for tomorrow, looks like I found it!"
He quickly changed directions, heading towards the howl. "I've never had wolf meat before since it was expensive."
On the way, he saw several monsters heading in the same direction.
"Is it me, or am I too lucky today?" He aggressively lunged towards the monsters one by one.
One by one, the monsters fell onto the ground, their bodies half-evaporated. Sensing danger, other monsters entered into panic mode and started running like sheep, but they couldn't surpass Saitama's speed.
BAAM!
BSHOOH!
Slowly, the sounds of rapid explosions filled the air, and the rocks surrounding the place shattered due to the shockwaves.
In a few minutes, the place was dyed red with blood. The naked eyes of the fallen monsters were the only remaining symbols of their existence, fixed on the ground.
After punching the last remaining monster, Saitama let out a sigh of relief. "There sure are a lot of monsters on this planet."
As soon as he finished, the ground beneath him began to shake violently.
The eyes of various monsters, which were on the ground moments ago, vanished mysteriously.
Thunderclouds swiftly gathered in the sky, and the wind started to blow faster and faster with each passing moment.
Amidst all the sudden chaos, Saitama tightly held the leaves on his waist and murmured. "Weird planet."
