Saitama, who had just been scratching his head in confusion over the fact that Boros "only" had fifty thousand years of life left,
snapped his head around at those words, his eyes wide,
as if an invisible exclamation mark had popped up over his bald head.
"Will there really be that many disasters?"
"I thought at most we just wouldn't have a moon to look at at night, and the electricity bill might go up a bit!"
"You're really something, King!"
"To think you even knew about stuff like that!"
"As expected of the strongest man on earth!"
"You're way too smart!!"
[Ding! Detected shock, admiration, and lingering fear from???, Emotion Points +6,000,000!]
King: "..."
Is there a possibility that it's not that I'm too smart, but that you lack common sense?
Asmodeus bit her lower lip hard, her slender fingers clenching until they turned white, her nails digging into her palms.
She looked up, her cold eyes now filled with agony.
"I can't, King."
Her voice trembled slightly, yet it was exceptionally resolute.
"I have no other way."
"It's just a mere satellite."
King frowned, trying to persuade her with the simplest logic.
"The universe is so vast, celestial bodies of similar size are countless."
"Can't we just find a suitable one elsewhere and move it here?"
Boros crossed his arms, thought about it with his Cosmic Overlord mindset, and spoke up:
"If you just need a planet, King, my ship is still down there."
"It's a bit damaged, but it's not impossible to capture an asteroid of suitable mass, drag it over, modify it, and give it to you."
"Even if you wanted one made of gold, I could find a way to get it for you."
He was quite generous; after all, they had just fought side by side.
Moreover, King was an opponent for life whom he acknowledged.
Saitama also nodded repeatedly, though he didn't quite understand what these three were talking about.
"Yeah, yeah, just find another one. The universe is so big, why does it have to be the Moon?"
His thinking was simple and direct—
Something's broken or gone?
Just find another one!
Asmodeus slowly shook her head, a trace of bitterness appearing on her face.
"It won't work."
"What I need isn't an ordinary 'asteroid'."
"That is just a dead thing, an empty shell without 'Status'."
"What I need is a 'Small World', a 'Keystone' capable of carrying power of prayers, condensing rules, and stabilizing space."
"This Moon..."
She gently raised her hand, her fingertips brushing over the 'lunar cube'.
"Throughout the long ages, it has accompanied the living beings on Earth."
"It has listened to the prayers, legends, fantasies, and fears of countless civilizations."
"It has absorbed too many, far too many'sentiments'."
