Unlike Fubuki—Tatsumaki was terrified of losing her powers, a fear stemming from her childhood trauma.
Though she had initially put on a brave face—
That night, she went to Fubuki's room and slept beside her.
In that moment, Tatsumaki was like the younger sister, needing Fubuki's comfort.
Fubuki, surprisingly, enjoyed taking care of her usually domineering sister. It seemed to have healed years of resentment and frustration.
By the next day, Tatsumaki had become much more docile, no longer hurling insults at Roy whenever she saw him.
Roy, seeing this, released the seal on her speech. As for her telekinesis—he would return it when he felt like it.
For the next few days, Roy focused on studying the Simulated Star Creation Map within him.
It represented the core of a universe. Could he use it as a foundation to create a universe of his own?
Creating a pocket dimension was child's play for him, but creating a universe was far more complex.
If he succeeded, he could even take the entire One-Punch Man planet with him.
And not just this planet, but any planet he had visited.
To achieve that, he would need to reach Solaric-level power.
But even with his current strength, taking this planet with him wouldn't be a problem.
———
As Roy was studying the Simulated Star Creation Map—
The Hero Association finally decided to act.
Ever since the Deep Sea King incident, Tatsumaki hadn't returned to headquarters.
This was a serious problem. Each S-Class hero was responsible for a specific city, and A-City, where the Hero Association headquarters was located, only had Tatsumaki.
If a powerful monster attacked headquarters, it would be disastrous.
Even summoning S-Class heroes from other cities wouldn't be fast enough.
After some investigation, the Hero Association learned that Tatsumaki was currently at Blizzard of Hell's residence in Z-City. And Fubuki, having resolved the Deep Sea King incident—had been promoted to S-Class, ranked 11th, just below Roy.
Superalloy Darkshine, the previous Rank 11, had been demoted.
The Hero Association headquarters couldn't be left unprotected, so Director Sitch dispatched a team to Z-City to bring Tatsumaki back.
That day, the Hero Association representatives arrived at Fubuki's villa.
"Can I help you?" Fubuki, opening the door and seeing the two men in black suits, had a feeling she knew why they were there.
"We're from the Hero Association. You're Blizzard of Hell, correct?" one of the men asked.
"Yes. What do you want?" Fubuki confirmed.
"We're here to escort Tornado of Terror back to headquarters."
Fubuki nodded, understanding.
"Come in." She led them inside.
Tatsumaki was in the living room, watching TV and snacking.
The two men were momentarily stunned.
"Um... Tornado of Terror, we're here to escort you back to headquarters," one of them said cautiously.
Tatsumaki glanced at them and continued watching TV.
The men exchanged awkward glances.
"Tornado of Terror, the Hero Association needs you."
"Yes, there have been several powerful monster attacks recently, causing significant damage to cities."
The two men tried to persuade her.
"Hmph." Tatsumaki ignored them. She also wanted to leave this place, to get away from that Demon.
But without her powers, what could she do?
The men were in a difficult position. They had been ordered to bring her back.
Otherwise, if The Ancient King attacked A-City, no one would be able to stop him.
———
"Powerful Monster, you say?" Fubuki frowned, hearing their words.
"Yes, a monster called The Ancient King is approaching A-City from the mountains. If no one stops him, A-City will be destroyed," the men explained.
"The Ancient King? Is he related to the Deep Sea King?" Fubuki wondered, hearing the similar name.
"One's from the sea, the other from the land. Maybe there's a Sky King too," Roy chuckled, joining the conversation.
Fubuki rolled her eyes, but she had to admit, it was a possibility.
And indeed, there was a Sky King.
But that monster was weak and had been quickly dispatched by one of Boros's subordinates.
"The other S-Class heroes are unavailable. We need Tornado of Terror to come back with us," one of the men said.
"Hmph! I want to leave too! Tell that man to give me back my powers!" Tatsumaki finally exploded.
The two men looked at each other in confusion.
"You two go back. Fubuki will handle this," Roy said, ignoring Tatsumaki's outburst. He opened a portal and sent the men back to the Hero Association headquarters.
"Fubuki, you take care of this," Roy said, lying back down on the sofa.
"Okay." Fubuki nodded and left without hesitation.
The sooner this was dealt with, the better.
With Fubuki gone, only Roy and Tatsumaki remained in the room.
Tatsumaki, remembering her earlier outburst, felt a bit embarrassed.
Roy, looking at her, had a mischievous idea.
"Ahem... Tatsumaki..."
Tatsumaki jumped, startled by his sudden words.
"You don't want anything to happen to your sister, do you?"
"What do you want?" Tatsumaki glared at him. Was he finally revealing his true colors?
"If you don't want Fubuki to get hurt..."
——
"You—" Tatsumaki gritted her teeth, furious. He was using her sister to threaten her!
"Forget it, if you don't want to cooperate," Roy shrugged, pretending to be indifferent.
He really didn't care. He had only said that to tease her.
However, Tatsumaki took his words seriously. In her eyes, this Demon was capable of anything.
Her expression shifted rapidly...
Just as Roy was about to leave out of boredom—
"Wait!"
"Oh?" Roy turned around, intrigued.
"I'll... take Fubuki's place... as long as you let her go," Tatsumaki said through gritted teeth.
"Of course," Roy replied with a smile.
Naturally, he wasn't planning on keeping his promise.
He sat back down on the sofa and "Instructed" Tatsumaki to begin...
——
Meanwhile, Fubuki, following the Hero Association's instructions, had located The Ancient King.
The monster was massive—resembling Godzilla—a towering figure like a mountain.
"Who are you? You dare stand in my way?!" The Ancient King looked down at the tiny human.
Fubuki didn't reply. She wanted to end this quickly.
With a wave of her hand, she split a nearby mountain in two, then sent half of it hurtling towards The Ancient King.
"Don't underestimate me!" The Ancient King, sensing the danger, charged his attack.
A powerful beam of energy erupted from his mouth, striking the mountain.
The mountain crumbled.

Fubuki raised an eyebrow, then used her telekinesis to lift more rocks and mountains, launching them at the Ancient King.
This time, the monster couldn't dodge. It braced for impact.
The Ancient King's thick hide protected it from fatal injury.
