Zombieman vs. Homeless Emperor

Zombieman vs. Homeless Emperor is the battle between the S-class hero, Zombieman, and the Monster Association cadre, Homeless Emperor.

Prelude
Zombieman, having recovered from defeating a vampire and several other monsters, ventures deeper into the Monster Association base. He hears Child Emperor's message announcing the successful rescue of Waganma on his locator, and sends a response commending the young S-Class hero on his work. Later, he feels the reverberations from a nearby battle, which causes him to feel uneasy about the status of the raid.

While contemplating this, he is broken out of his stupor by the voice of one of the Monster Association's executives, Homeless Emperor, who walked right up to the hero without being noticed. The villain confirms Zombieman's unease by telling him that the other heroes are dying. Zombieman attempts to turn around, but is quickly struck by a barrage of powerful explosive orbs. With that, the two begin their battle.

Battle
Homeless Emperor calls Zombieman underwhelming, saying that he has checked the official Hero Association website and seen there are 17 Class S heroes. He arrogantly boasts that he is strong enough to eliminate all of them. Zombieman tells him to hold up, and rushes the foe with his bearded axe in an attempt to surprise him, but Homeless Emperor is able to react in time to lift his finger and fire a close-range energy blast, severing both Zombieman's hands and vaporizing his head. The hero falls to his knees, and Homeless Emperor fires another energy blast into the hero's chest. Zombieman fires a bullet at the mysterious being, but one of Homeless Emperor's energy balls comes to intercept the bullet, creating a very large explosion and sending Zombieman flying. Homeless Emperor exclaims that it looks as though his attacks hurt, while Zombieman, who has managed to regrow his head and is in the process of regrowing his hands as well, is shocked that Homeless Emperor could block such a close-ranged attack.

Zombieman reveals he has a hidden ace, and with his regrown hand, lodges it into his chest. He reveals a gun he'd stuffed in his chest as an emergency measure, and with his head almost completely regenerated, prepares to fire at Homeless Emperor. However, during the time he was doing this, Homeless Emperor sent several energy balls to surround the hero. Zombieman fires his gun, and Homeless Emperor simultaneously fires his energy balls, creating an extremely large explosion.

The dust clears, revealing Zombieman's absolutely charred body, with a majority of his stomach vaporized, most of the muscles of his limbs gone as well and his hands obliterated again. Homeless Emperor says that as expected of an S-class hero, Zombieman is unfaltering even at death's door, and states he is indeed strong.
