- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 534
After the lightning struck Saitama, even his normally oblivious self finally realized something was off.
A random bolt of lightning, hitting him so perfectly? How could it be just a coincidence?
“Was that an attack from Master? A test?”
Saitama thought that if this was indeed his Master’s doing, it must be a trial.
Otherwise, with his Master’s power, hurting him would be no issue at all…
Little did he know, his Master was currently plotting to trick him.
In the sky above, the thunderclouds continued to roil, as though another bolt of lightning could strike at any moment.
Saitama furrowed his brow, then suddenly clenched his fist and casually threw a punch at the sky.
“Whoosh—”
With that punch, a fierce gust of wind swept the sky, instantly dispersing the clouds and allowing the sunlight to once again shine upon the ground.
In the distant ocean.
Chen Ye, witnessing this scene, was left dumbfounded.
Only Saitama could destroy his “Ring of the Thunder God” power in such a domineering way…
Chen Ye then surfaced from the sea, floating in the air, looking down at Saitama from above.
“Saitama, your strength is impressive, but my next attack won’t be so easy to block!”
Upon hearing this, Saitama immediately put on his serious face.
“Master, I’m ready!”
There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
Chen Ye glanced at the nearly collapsing island and smiled slightly.
The next moment.
The ring on his left ring finger, the Sea God’s Ring, glowed faintly.
“Splash!”
The once calm sea suddenly began to boil.
Waves surged, countless swells crashing relentlessly against the shore.
Then, in the distance, a gigantic wave started to form.
The wave grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a massive tsunami!
Seeing this, Saitama’s face showed a hint of surprise.
He hadn’t expected his Master to be able to control the sea and create a tsunami.
How incredible…
Soon.
The tsunami was closing in on the deserted island.
From a distance, the island seemed small, like a child compared to the massive wave.
Just as the tsunami was about to completely engulf the island, there was not the slightest trace of panic on Saitama’s face.
He simply clenched his fist and unleashed a “Normal Punch.”
“Whoosh…”
The powerful gust from his punch blasted a hole through the tsunami, allowing Saitama to pass through unscathed, not even a drop of water touching his shoes.
No matter how flashy your tricks, I’ll break them all with one punch!
That was Saitama’s life motto.
However, Chen Ye had anticipated this.
Even after Saitama punched through the tsunami, endless waves surged in from all directions, closing in on him.
For the first time, a slight look of seriousness appeared on Saitama’s face.
“Consecutive Normal Punches!”
In an instant, the island was filled with Saitama’s fist shadows.
The gusts from his punches formed a fierce storm on the island, holding back all the incoming tsunamis.
Chen Ye had long expected Saitama’s overwhelming strength, so he wasn’t surprised.
He was only buying time.
The island!
It couldn’t hold out much longer…
“Crack!”
A sharp sound echoed through the air.
The ground beneath Saitama’s feet suddenly cracked!
Large chunks of dirt quickly crumbled into the sea.
Seeing this, Saitama’s expression finally changed.
“Oh no… I’m done for…”
Saitama yelled, quickly pulling out the thickest tree nearby and clutching it tightly.
He wasn’t a good swimmer, and he couldn’t fly!
Right now, this tree was the only thing he could rely on…
“Boom!”
As the island completely sank, Saitama clung to the tree like an octopus.
But even so, the whirlpool created by the sinking island quickly pulled both him and the tree underwater…
“Blub, blub…”
Bubbles escaped from Saitama’s mouth as he struggled.
He hurriedly held his breath, pinched his nose with one hand, and paddled upwards with the other.
However.
Chen Ye was lurking at the bottom of the sea, waiting for this exact moment! There was no way he would let Saitama escape so easily.
With a slight movement of Chen Ye’s finger, Saitama suddenly felt his body grow heavier, rapidly sinking further into the ocean.
Saitama continued to struggle…
But it was futile.
Slowly, Saitama began to feel his breath running out.
He was now desperately craving oxygen.
A few minutes later.
Saitama, his face flushed red, finally couldn’t hold it any longer. He exhaled the air in his mouth and instinctively tried to breathe.
But being at the bottom of the ocean, all he inhaled was seawater…
“Guh!”
Saitama choked on the seawater and thrashed wildly.
At this moment, Saitama was no different from a drowning man, panicking and helplessly grasping for anything to save him.
Soon.
As the lack of oxygen took over, Saitama’s mind went blank, forgetting that Chen Ye had given him a white cloth to surrender with.
“Blub, blub…”
More and more seawater entered Saitama’s lungs.
Gradually, Saitama’s struggles weakened, and his eyes began to roll back.
Seeing this, Chen Ye grew anxious.
“How is he this far gone and the system still hasn’t triggered any notifications? Does it really need Saitama to drown before I’m declared the winner?”
Watching Saitama’s condition worsen, Chen Ye found himself on the verge of stepping in to rescue him multiple times.
After all, Saitama was his disciple in name.
Though their time together had been short, Saitama genuinely respected Chen Ye as his Master from the bottom of his heart…
Finally.
Saitama stopped struggling…
“Congratulations, you have completed the mission: Defeat the Strongest in Combat!”
“Note: You may return to the Reincarnation Space at any time, or stay in this world to continue your tasks…”
At the moment Saitama ceased struggling, Chen Ye received the system’s notification.
However, his face showed no signs of joy—only worry.
Immediately, Chen Ye rushed toward Saitama, grabbed him, and shot out of the water.
At this point, Saitama’s face was pale, his lips were bluish, and his heartbeat had stopped. He was clearly in a state of shock…
The situation was extremely dangerous!!
Chen Ye was visibly anxious, but he didn’t know how to perform rescue techniques for drowning victims, and was helpless to save Saitama.
The next moment.
The Immortal Demon Body activated!
Chen Ye triggered his ultimate move, enhancing his speed, and carrying Saitama, he tore through the air toward the nearest city…
Five minutes later.
At a hospital in City D.
Doctors and patients were busy as usual.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, crashing through the rooftop of the hospital building.
The falling debris injured several people.
“Ahhh!!”
Nurses and patients screamed in panic.
The figure from the sky was, of course, Chen Ye.
He had no time to care about the people he’d injured. He grabbed a female doctor, whose nametag identified her as the attending physician, and pointed at the unconscious Saitama.
“Save him! Now!”
The female doctor was terrified, too scared to refuse, and nervously asked, “Wh-what happened? What are his symptoms?”
“Drowning!”
“Ah? Okay!”
The doctor immediately began resuscitating Saitama, performing chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Chen Ye watched tensely.
After a while, Saitama still hadn’t woken up.
Chen Ye frowned deeply, a look of guilt crossing his face.
He silently blamed himself for not being prepared.
He should’ve learned first-aid techniques beforehand…
If Saitama died because of him, Chen Ye would feel deeply remorseful.
Even though, as a Reincarnator, Chen Ye was only a passerby in this world…
He was still human and had emotions.
Chen Ye had grown fond of Saitama as his disciple and naturally didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.
Besides, in his upcoming plans, Saitama still had a major role to play, so it was even more important that he didn’t die…
…
After a while, the doctor, who had been performing CPR and mouth-to-mouth, looked serious and said:
“This man is in shock. We need to defibrillate him immediately…”
Chen Ye quickly responded, “What are you waiting for? Save him!”
Saitama was soon wheeled into the emergency room.
Chen Ye didn’t interfere and waited anxiously outside.
The waiting felt like an eternity…
Just as Chen Ye was becoming increasingly impatient, the door to the emergency room finally opened.
The same female doctor emerged, looking exhausted. “Sir, your friend is out of danger…”
Hearing this, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t contain his excitement. “Thank you, Doctor.”
The doctor waved her hand. “However, it’s best for him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days, in case of any aftereffects from the shock.”
Chen Ye nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, he showed none of the arrogance of an S-Class powerhouse…
“And one more thing!”
The doctor glanced at Chen Ye and, gathering her courage, said, “Sir, you damaged the hospital roof and injured several patients. You’ll need to pay for the damages, or I’ll have to call the police!”
Chen Ye, in a good mood, smiled and said, “No problem, I’ll pay for everything!”
The doctor’s expression softened significantly.
“Your friend needs rest, so please don’t disturb him… Go pay the bill now!”
With that, the doctor turned and left.
Chen Ye watched her carefully, noting that although she wasn’t exactly beautiful, her figure was quite attractive…
Thinking about the earlier mouth-to-mouth resuscitation… Wasn’t Saitama lucky in this disaster?
Shaking his head to dispel that ridiculous thought, Chen Ye also left to pay the bill.
After all, he still had millions of dollars on his card.
With that kind of wealth, he was a certified rich man!
And once the money was gone, he could replenish it in the next world, so spending money didn’t bother Chen Ye in the slightest.
…
Later that evening, around 7 p.m.
In a high-end private hospital room.
Saitama slowly regained consciousness.
Looking at the walls around him, he was a little dazed.
“Where… Where am I? Why am I here?”
Just then.
The door opened.
Chen Ye walked in, carrying a large bag.
“Master?”
“Saitama, you’re finally awake?” Chen Ye smiled, holding up the bag. “You woke up just in time for dinner. I brought your favorite, takoyaki.”
Hearing there was food, Saitama immediately felt hungry…
But he was still confused as to why he was in the hospital.
“Master, why am I here?”
Chen Ye was taken aback. “What? You don’t remember?”
Saitama thought for a moment, then said, “I only remember that Master was testing my training results from the past three years and took me somewhere… but the rest… it’s all kind of hazy.”
“Amnesia?” Chen Ye was puzzled. “Could this be a side effect of the shock?”
“Saitama, try to think harder!”
Saitama furrowed his brow in concentration, but then shook his head. “Master, I really can’t remember…”
Well, it seemed that the bald man had truly lost his memory.
Thankfully, he only forgot the brief battle, not everything. That would’ve been a real problem.
Chen Ye approached, patting him on the shoulder. “It’s okay. Forgetting is probably for the best. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for you…”
Hearing that, Saitama seemed to grow concerned and asked, “Master, did I… not perform well?”
“No, you did great.”
But before Saitama could celebrate, Chen Ye patted his shoulder again and said, “It was my fault, though. I went a bit too hard and accidentally knocked you out, which is why you ended up in the hospital and lost your memory!”
“Huh?”
Saitama was stunned.
His Master had knocked him out?
Saitama knew his own strength well. He was incredibly powerful, and his body was almost indestructible.
No matter how ferociously monsters attacked, they couldn’t hurt him at all.
But his Master had knocked him out?!
As expected of Master!
He’s so strong!!
Looks like I still have a long way to go.
“Saitama, you’re not mad at me, are you?”
“Huh?” Saitama snapped out of his thoughts and quickly responded, “Of course not. It’s my fault for not performing well and disappointing you…”
“No! The fact that you’ve achieved such power in just three years makes me very proud,” Chen Ye smiled, skillfully delivering praise. “In this world, besides me, you’re now the strongest!”
“Really? That’s awesome!”
Saitama was thrilled to hear Chen Ye’s affirmation.
“Now let’s eat,” Chen Ye said. “After dinner, you should get some rest.”
…
Three days later.
Chen Ye and Saitama returned to the villa.
Coincidentally, Genos was there, seemingly waiting for Saitama and Chen Ye to return.
When he saw Saitama, Genos immediately rushed over.
However, Chen Ye noticed something odd—Genos seemed to be walking a bit awkwardly…
“Master, Master, you’re finally back.”
“Oh, it’s Genos!” Saitama greeted him warmly. “Genos, have you had lunch?”
“Master, I’m a cyborg, so I don’t need to eat…” Genos, always straightforward, then asked, “Master, how did your sparring with Grand master go? Why did it take three days to return?”
“Ah? Well…”
Saitama scratched his head awkwardly, embarrassed as he said, “I was too weak, and Master accidentally knocked me out, so I had to spend three days in the hospital resting!”
Upon hearing this, Genos’ pupils shrank, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
“Nani??”
