: Boros, the Cosmic Overlord

A massive, pitch-black ship, tens of thousands of meters long, like a steel behemoth swimming in the abyss of the universe, is tearing through the void at the speed of light, moving silently.

Deep inside the ship, in a magnificent command room.

A domineering yet ferocious figure sat atop a towering black throne.

His spiky hair stood on end like sharp blades, a huge scarlet eye occupied half of his face, and the winding black lines on his face looked like they were alive. Combined with his golden full-body armor, he exuded a suffocating aura of dominance at all times.

"Fortune telling? Earth? One-Punch Man?"

The figure on the throne muttered to himself, his single eye slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of surprise and confusion that was completely at odds with his terrifying appearance.

At this moment, Boros's soul had already been replaced. In his previous life, he was named Luo Si, an ordinary otaku on Earth and a veteran Bilibili user. One second he was enjoying watching commentary videos of "One-Punch Man," and the next second everything went black. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside this body capable of destroying a planet.

"What time is it now? How far away are we from Earth?"

He suppressed his panic and, after assessing the spaceship's status, Boros secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the spaceship hadn't yet reached Earth's orbit. If, like in the original story, he had to face that bald, caped hero the moment he opened his eyes, his transmigration career would probably have had to be restarted right from the start.

Boros tapped his throne lightly with his fingers, slowly beginning to contemplate his future. He was definitely going to Earth, the planet One-Punch Man had landed on. He wasn't the original Boros; he didn't crave evenly matched battles or anything like that. He was more used to life on Earth—scrolling through his phone, playing on his computer, staying home—it was much more comfortable than sitting on a spaceship searching for opponents.

However, we need to carefully consider how to get there. If we follow the plot without making any changes, we will be forcefully suppressed by a terrifying bald demon king the moment we arrive on Earth, and our body energy will be exhausted, causing us to wither and die.

Boros didn't want to die; he was still planning to live a good life on Earth in the One-Punch Man world. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to be easy. Boros could barely be considered a humanoid being, but he was vastly different from normal humans. If he abandoned his spaceship and went to Earth alone, given his imposing and ferocious appearance, he would most likely be mistaken for a monster. And in this world, once you became a monster or a villain, it was practically certain death, with no chance of survival.

"But even if I look like a monster, as long as I don't attack humans or buildings without reason, there should still be a chance for me to survive? I could even become a hero?"

Boros thought about heroes like Drive Knight and Zombieman from the Hero Association in the One-Punch Man world, and felt that he could also quietly arrive on Earth and have some fun as a hero.

In short, we must resolutely stand on the same side as the bald-headed demon king. We absolutely cannot be villainous bosses.

Boros thought about the bald demon king's performance in the anime, and unconsciously clenched his fist. He felt the earth-shattering power within him, and his ferocious face couldn't help but twitch.

Was Boros really weak? Looking back on that cinematic memory, while the title "Cosmic Overlord" might be an exaggeration, calling him "Galactic Overlord" is certainly fitting. In those past battles, no matter how strong the opponent, he crushed them all with overwhelming force. His dominance across the galaxy, his invincibility, was no exaggeration.

It was precisely because he had not found a worthy opponent in this vast galaxy for countless years that his inflated confidence and desire for a thrilling battle ultimately led him to heed the prophecy of the diviner and embark on a journey to Earth, seeking only a worthy duel.

However, Boros now knows that even with his immense power, the gap between him and the Bald Demon King is even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and himself. It's like a battle from a different dimension, like ants tearing at humans with their fangs and claws, using all their strength but causing virtually no damage.

Just as he was lost in thought, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"A must-have cheat code for Earthlings to travel through time?"

Boros was invigorated.

"Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to the Strongest Boss System. System loading."

"System loaded successfully"

[The host has reached the pinnacle of this species. To improve, the host must remove their limiter.]

[Current number of times the limiter has been removed: 0]

With anticipation, Boros studied the boss system, and after a while, he had roughly figured it out.

Firstly, strength roughly affects the intensity and explosiveness of combat, while agility includes attack speed and nerve reaction speed. Physical fitness affects health and recovery speed, while mental energy is the energy in the body and the perception of the surroundings. Skill 1 and Skill 2 are simply the second and third phases of the Boss's transformation, and Skill 3 is the ultimate move.

Boros reflected on his various forms. Normally, he wore a sealed armor that limited his strength and sealed a large amount of energy. In this form, about 60% of his strength was sealed. Even in this form, he could easily deal with most of the local powerhouses on the planet.

Once the armor is shattered, the power can be fully unleashed, unleashing strength to one hundred percent without reservation. As for the "Conqueror Burst" form, the skin color of the entire body will change from azure to jet black, and lightning patterns will appear on the surface of the body, forcibly pushing the combat power to one hundred and fifty percent.

As for the ultimate form, "Meteor Burst," its essence is nothing more than pushing one's own cells to their limits. Once activated, the blood in the entire body seems to boil instantly, and every muscle fiber screams under overclocking—a deep, bone-chilling pain and a suffocating feeling of oxygen deprivation.

However, it is precisely on the verge of death that a world-destroying power is fully awakened. This power is enough to cause Boros's strength to surge to 450% of its original level in an instant.

Because this form not only has a huge backlash but is also extremely difficult to control, Boros used it only a handful of times throughout his long history of galactic conquest. After all, every time he transformed into that destructive flame, it meant that the enemies on the battlefield would be annihilated in an instant without any doubt.

The method of obtaining dimensional energy is currently unknown, but it can be used to break through one's own limits, break one's own limiters, and increase one's four dimensions, which is incredibly powerful.

As we all know, in the world of One-Punch Man, apart from Saitama, everyone else has their own limiter. Breaking through it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible. But if I have the dimensional energy converted from the system, I might be able to break my own limiter countless times like Saitama, becoming stronger without end, and perhaps even becoming as powerful as Saitama.

Boros originally planned to live a low-key life on Earth, get along well with Saitama, and play the role of a lowly underling behind him, living a mundane life. However, this was also a helpless move, because he understood the gap between them and felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with Saitama's shadow. He might as well live a more leisurely life. With his strength, he could basically survive until the end without any problems.

On Earth, aside from gods and Saitama, even the Monster King Orochi is nothing more than a roadside monster in Boros's eyes. Such creatures occasionally appear on planets with extremely high energy, and are not worth mentioning. Even the cosmic Garou who appears last, you have to fight him to find out who is stronger. Boros doesn't think he will lose.

Now that I have the system, although I still have to play it safe in the early stages, I have more choices and a brighter future.

In short, Boros now has a path to break through his own limitations. With a goal in mind, he is no longer confused about the future and can handle either advancement or retreat with ease.

Thinking this, a glint flashed in Boros's single, scarlet eye, and his previously chaotic thoughts finally settled into a firm resolve. Without further hesitation, his long, slender fingers pressed heavily on the golden communication device on the armrest of the throne, and a deep, authoritative voice instantly pierced through the entire spaceship's internal channels:

"Gruganshoop, immediately prepare a small shuttle with the highest level of stealth. I want to detach from the main ship and reach the target planet alone."

His tone was stern, carrying an unyielding authority, as he continued issuing orders: "Once the main fleet enters the target planet's orbit, it must not linger. Immediately find a concealed landing point on a nearby satellite and await further instructions. Without my personal command, no one—including the three top officers—is allowed to land on that planet. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without exception. Do you understand?"

At this moment, in the dark and oppressive command center deep within the massive mothership, the air seemed to freeze. Countless instrument panels emitted a cold blue light, illuminating a bizarrely twisted figure resembling an octopus.

This cosmic monster, with an oval-shaped head, a large, split mouth, and two tiny eyes, stands in front of a complex control panel.

He is Gruganshoop, one of the three executives of the Dark Matter Pirates and a Nen user revered as the "strategist".

At this moment, his cloudy eyes were fixed on the data streams and complex star charts on countless screens, while his tentacles nimbly directed the crew members around him to perform various complex operations. The entire command room was filled with a somber and tense atmosphere.

The sudden communication command made Gryuganshup tremble, his mouth, which always wore a sinister smile, instantly shut. He dared not delay in the slightest; his expression hardened, and he hurriedly bowed, responding in a high-pitched, respectful voice:

"Yes, Lord Boros! I will prepare the shuttle immediately. May your journey be smooth!"

There was no questioning or asking why. In the Dark Matter Pirates, Boros's will was the will of heaven. Everyone just needed to obey unconditionally, including the three top officers, who were not allowed to disobey in the slightest.

Boros nodded in satisfaction, his single eye narrowing slightly as he said, "During my absence, you will be in full charge of overseeing all affairs of the pirate crew."

He paused, his tone suddenly turning cold, carrying an undeniable pressure: "And listen to me, all of you—while I'm gone, double your training. I know very well that there are superpowered individuals on that target planet who are even more powerful than you. I don't want to see you, this proud Nen user, crushed to pieces in your own field, utterly disgracing Boros."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator, followed by a hurried and fearful reply from Gryuganshup: "Ah! Yes, Lord Boros! Your subordinate will do his utmost to live up to your expectations!"

Gruganshoop thought to himself, "That backward, indigenous planet actually has a Nen user stronger than me? Lord Boros must be right. Damn it, it seems I really need to work hard on my mental strength these days. But after Lord Boros left, he actually put me in charge of all the affairs of the spaceship. Hehehe, Melzargardo, Gloribas, it seems that Lord Boros's most trusted person is still me. Hehehe."
