Summary[]
As Fuhrer Ugly prepares to rise after being brutalized by Golden Sperm, he is abruptly attacked by Homeless Emperor, who launches multiple energy orbs at him. Golden Sperm is taken aback by Homeless Emperor's intervention, with the latter revealing he couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Fuhrer Ugly quickly regains his footing and attempts to retaliate by spitting an acid drop at Homeless Emperor. However, the attack is blocked by energy spheres, which Homeless Emperor then uses to bombard the fat monster with a series of energy blasts. Fuhrer Ugly lies defeated but soon recovers, realizing he is outmatched. He slowly retreats, vowing revenge against both Homeless Emperor and Golden Sperm. Although Golden Sperm wants to finish him off, Homeless Emperor convinces him to let Fuhrer Ugly go, claiming the latter is still of use to them.
Golden Sperm then shifts his attention to Superalloy Darkshine, who is trembling in fear from the damage inflicted by Fuhrer Ugly's digestive fluids during their brief encounter. He remarks on Darkshine's unworthiness as an S-Class hero before landing a punch that sends the hero hurtling towards Iaian, Atomic Samurai, and Spring Mustachio.
After distancing himself from Golden Sperm and Homeless Emperor, Fuhrer Ugly plots his revenge against them and Bang while searching for the latter. Meanwhile, four Black Sperm clones observe Fuhrer Ugly from afar, planning to ambush. Metal Bat suddenly appears behind the clones, inquiring about Garou's whereabouts. The clones attack, dismissing his question, but Metal Bat swiftly retaliates, destroying all four with a single swing. King emerges from behind some rubble, lamenting his loneliness as he recalls being separated from Metal Bat.
Homeless Emperor then targets Atomic Samurai, Iaian, and Spring Mustachio with his Extreme Carpet Bombing, unleashing a barrage of energy spheres from above. Iaian and Spring Mustachio manage to deflect the energy balls with their swords, protecting themselves and Atomic Samurai. Meanwhile, Genos and Tatsumaki struggle against a swarm of Black Sperm clones surrounding them.
After narrowly escaping a massive energy sphere from Homeless Emperor with the help of his Underdog Man robot, Child Emperor sends a message to Bofoi, urgently requesting assistance against the Monster Association. Estimating he has less than ten minutes of oxygen left, he holds his breath and hopes to be found through his transmitter. Soon, Puri-Puri Prisoner arrives to save him.
Meanwhile, Genos, having lost all his limbs to Black Sperm, crawls on the ground while carrying a seemingly unconscious Tatsumaki, trying to evade the relentless clones. King appears before them, his King Engine roaring.
