King and Saitama vs. Elder Centipede

King and Saitama vs. Elder Centipede is the battle between the two heroes of the Hero Association and an executive member of the Monster Association.

Battle
Elder Centipede's attention is diverted from the other S-class heroes, and he looks down at King. King goes on to say that he brought Blast, the very hero that defeated him many years ago, with him. He tells Elder Centipede to follow him if if he wants to fight Blast again. King then goes on to taunt Elder Centipede's cowardliness, saying he was too shaken with fear to even move and also saying that a weak insect monster such as himself would be better crawling back underground and sucking on his mother's tits. King's thoughts are racing inside of him, as he knows this is a very limited window he's giving Saitama in order for him to finish off Elder Centipede and prevent him from burrowing underground and retreating.

]] Elder Centipede then crawls on the ground and rushes King, who is still standing motionlessly in his place. As Elder Centipede is just feet away from King, Saitama comes in from behind. King jumps out of the way, and Saitama performs his '''Serious Series, Serious Punch. '''Unlike before, the force of the punch is too much for Elder Centipede's regeneration, and his body quickly crumbles, marking his permanent defeat.

Aftermath
After Elder Centipede's body is decimated, Saitama notices Genos from far away and waves hello to him. King and Saitama then walk towards Genos and the two martial artists, with Saitama beginning a conversation. He says that he actually feels rather refreshed after defeating Elder Centipede, attributing the stress to playing video games against King. King is skeptical of this explanation. When Saitama meets up with Genos, the cyborg asks him what it is he's still lacking, and Saitama replies by saying he simply needs more power. Even though it's a very obvious statement, Genos is awed by it and begins writing in his memo, much to King's horror. Genos then remarks he will strive toward the symbol of strength that Saitama is.

In an extra included with volume 17 of the manga that covers the immediate aftermath of the battle, it turns out that King soiled himself when Elder Centipede rushed at him. He passes this off by blaming the monster's guts for the smell and asks to visit a pants shop on their way back to Saitama's place.
