'Who uses their ultimate attack at the very first moment?? Fuck you.'
Meteoric Burst Form
Boros blessed Itachi's ancestors in his mind as he entered his Meteoric Burst Form without a second thought. In this form, he could travel at near-light speed, had increased strength (enough to punch Saitama to the moon), and possessed high-speed regeneration to heal from even a small organ or tissue as long as his core energy wasn't exhausted.
'They all can't be this strong. It must be an illusion or clones with deceptive auras...'
With that thought, Boros took a step and punched the nearest clone.
BOOOMMMMMMM
Well, this wasn't the sound of Boros hitting the Karmic God. Instead, the moment Boros took a step, the space around him froze, and all four hundred eighty Karmic Gods attacked Boros at once.
The same Karmic God under Itachi and Haruto have vastly different strength. It's like a Supreme Sword in the hands of East Blue Zoro and Mihawk... Zoro could at most use it to deal with a hundred million pirates, but Mihawk could easily fight Emperor-level beings with it.
Although Haruto, with his Mangekyō Sharingan ability, could enhance the Karmic Creatures, at most it was from Level 10 to Level 20, unlike Itachi, who could enhance them from Level 10 to Level 100. He could give the Karmic Avatars Golden Lightning, White Flame, or other attributes with the help of Domain Expansion, or control time and space to coordinate with the Karmic Avatars, or just invalidate all energy attacks from enemies, which Haruto couldn't do.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Feeling his body being destroyed and regenerating repeatedly, along with the rapid consumption of his energy, Boros roared in anger.
Five Seconds Later
Boros lay on the ground like a corpse, almost dried up as if he had been standing under the sun for weeks.
The others were completely petrified upon seeing this scene. In his Meteoric Burst Form, they could sense the abyss-like strength of Boros, and most of them, except Tatsumaki and a certain bald guy, felt certain death. But only a few seconds later, this guy was exhaling more than inhaling.
"What... is... your... name?" Boros stood up with difficulty and asked while looking toward Itachi.
"Boros, you are among the top ten strongest people I have met... You are qualified to know my name. I am Uchiha Itachi, the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan and the leader of Mizumori, my kingdom."
"Uchiha... Itachi... you are the strongest person I have ever met... Take my final blow..."
Boros, hearing Itachi's praise, didn't feel humiliated and spoke while gathering all his remaining energy into his body. He wasn't going to live or win, so he wanted to die splendidly, at least by damaging his opponent with all his might.
Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon
Gathering all his remaining energy, Boros opened his mouth and unleashed a beam of energy rushing toward Itachi. Although this attack wasn't as strong as the one he had used against Saitama (his energy reserves were almost exhausted), it could still wipe out thousands of kilometers in its path.
"Disperse"
With Itachi's single word, the world-destroying beam of light turned into a river of sakura petals as it covered Itachi and the entire destroyed City A in its beauty.
"It wasn't an equal fight... but I do not regr—"
Before Boros could say his final words, he fell backward... dead.
"Zanpakutō... return."
Seeing Boros dead, Itachi commanded as all the Karmic Gods dissipated and gathered together to form the Zanpakutō's normal form.
"Orochimaru, take his body... The planet he lived on had extreme weather, and his race adapted to it. Because of that, everyone has very high healing and regenerative power... Although not to his level, it's still better than Hashirama's chakra."
"Yes, Itachi-sama."
Orochimaru, seeing Itachi's strength, became even more respectful. Although he knew that Itachi had killed Urashiki with one blow, he hadn't seen it, nor was that invisible attack as intimidating as nearly five hundred Urashiki's attacking at once.
As for the Karmic God attacking Itachi, well, it had been teleported to the nearby sea by him and then taken care of by his Mirror Clone. With the Zanpakutō returning to its normal form, it also dissipated.
"Right, I forgot. Saitama, can I get a few milliliters of your blood? I can compensate you with gold."
Seeing Orochimaru collecting Boros's blood and tissue samples, Itachi remembered Saitama's abnormal physique and made his request.
"Gold in exchange for blood? Deal."
Without a second thought, Saitama nodded.
"Orochimaru, take his blood."
"What do you need the blood of a B-Rank weakling for?"
Atomic Samurai, seeing Itachi's respectful demeanor toward Saitama unlike his "I am God" attitude in front of Boros, asked curiously.
"B-Rank weakling? Does your Hero Association have a hole in its head to assign this guy C-Rank at first and now B-Rank? He can be considered the strongest on your planet, including that guy Blast, who is roaming the universe.
Others cling to powerful figures, but you are the opposite... At least learn from that guy Genos... He is S-Rank, yet still his disciple."
SILENCE
"You mean this bald guy is stronger than me?"
Tatsumaki, hearing this, couldn't accept it. Although she admitted she wasn't as strong as Blast, Boros, or Itachi... she was much stronger than this no-name.
"Indeed. This guy has broken his limiter, so he can be considered the strongest in both strength and potential present here... well, excluding me, of course."
Saitama, on the other hand, didn't care about Itachi's or the others' conversation. He was already thinking about which premium meat to buy for today's hotpot with Itachi's compensation.
" What is a limiter ? " Child Emperor hearing this new term asked curiously.
"Well, I don't take classes. There is someone called Dr. Genus in your world. He knows it in detail... You can ask him."
"Itachi-sama, all the needles have failed to pierce his skin. I even tried one that could pierce the Fourth Raikage, but... I don't have any more advanced ones."
Hearing Orochimaru say this, Itachi looked at Saitama, the dozen or so broken and twisted needles, and Saitama's anxious face.
"Sigh, take this."
Seeing this, Itachi shape-shifted Sagittarius into an injection needle and gave it to Orochimaru. Orochimaru, seeing this, was astonished... One day, a mighty Six Paths Level being was being used as an injection needle.
Finally, with Sagittarius, Orochimaru was able to extract twenty milliliters of blood as the wound healed up. Orochimaru wanted to take more, but his strength was already exhausted from using Sagittarius.
"Anyway, I suggest you guys stop being dumb. In the future I see, you all will be quite miserable... So maybe you all should fight this guy first to confirm my words and then make suitable choices."
Hearing Itachi's serious words, all the heroes looked at the dumb Saitama, who was holding a fist-sized gold nugget while talking and laughing with King.
Genos, on the other hand, had tears coming out of his eyes even though he was a cyborg. His master had finally received the recognition he deserved, and even from Itachi, who had killed the Universe Strongest Pirate just like that.
