Oh, and btw, I forgot to mention it, but Empty Void's skull wasn't broken immediatly right after the punch. We got Saitama arriving the scene, Blast getting there, ninjas getting there, the conversation about Empty Void happening, Saitama's New stalkers (ninjas) attacking Saitama, Saitama one shotting his stalkers, God beasts appearing and shooting the crowd, Blast protecting said crowd and explaining what God Beasts are, Saitama moving to punch the beasts and then Empty Void expulses God's power, kills the beasts and after they are sent back to their original dimension then the mask breaks.
It is not something as simple as "Saitama broke their monster vessel due to pure AP and so they lost their God's power". But rather a much more complex situation than that, since the mask wasn't broken the instant Saitama punched then, but, instead, time later after a lot of events.
This is clearly not a situation about AP, specially when Blast, who, trying to suppress Void did everything he could to the point of leaving him in a comatose state over 15 years, with his body being so bad that you can see almost no flesh where his chest is, and his organs under it, meaning his attacks did indeed bypass the monster vessel.
Blast identifies Saitama's fist as an anomaly, rather than his strength or his capability of breaking monster vessels. And we see that, in Empty Void's case, the vessel was broke after God's power was taken out and after Empty Void was back to normal, meaning that the destruction of the vessel is more of a simbology of the then-monster leaving it and becoming back to a human than the damage Saitama did. I also wanted to mention that Blast was looking for a method to bring monsters back to humans, which involved them having the will to go back, something he wouldn't do if all it took was beat the shit out of the monster. But I think that was retconned out?
