Long Summary
As Fuhrer Ugly tries to get up after being beaten down by Golden Sperm, he is suddenly attacked by Homeless Emperor, who hurls multiple energy orbs at him. Golden Sperm is surprised by Homeless Emperor's interference, while the latter admits he could no longer stand by and watch. Fuhrer Ugly quickly recovers and attempts to counter by spitting an acid drop at Homeless Emperor, but the attack is blocked by energy spheres. Homeless Emperor then bombards him with a relentless series of blasts. Though Fuhrer Ugly is overwhelmed and briefly downed, he soon gets back up, realizing he cannot win. He retreats slowly, vowing revenge on both Homeless Emperor and Golden Sperm. Golden Sperm wants to finish him off, but Homeless Emperor persuades him to let Fuhrer Ugly live, claiming he still has his uses.
Golden Sperm then turns his focus to Superalloy Darkshine, who trembles in fear after being damaged by Fuhrer Ugly's digestive. He mocks Darkshine's unworthiness as an S-Class hero before striking him with a punch that sends the hero flying toward Iaian, Atomic Samurai, and Spring Mustachio.
Away from Golden Sperm and Homeless Emperor, Fuhrer Ugly plots revenge against them and Bang while searching for the latter. Four Black Sperm clones watch him, preparing an ambush. Suddenly, Metal Bat appears behind the clones and demands to know Garou's location. The clones dismiss him and attack, but Metal Bat wipes them out with a single swing. From behind some rubble, King emerges, 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, raining countless energy spheres from above. Iaian and Spring Mustachio fend them off with their swords, shielding themselves and Atomic Samurai. Meanwhile, Genos and Tatsumaki struggle against a horde of Black Sperm clones.
After narrowly evading a massive energy blast from Homeless Emperor thanks to his Underdog Man robot, Child Emperor contacts Bofoi for urgent help against the Monster Association. With less than ten minutes of oxygen left, he holds his breath and prays his transmitter will guide rescuers to him. Soon, Puri-Puri Prisoner arrives to save him.
Meanwhile, Genos, having lost all his limbs to Black Sperm, crawls across the battlefield while carrying an unconscious Tatsumaki, desperately evading the pursuing clones. Before long, King appears before them, his King Engine rumbling.
