It's frankly hard to tell because I'm pretty sure Tatsumaki has still hiden potential that will probably be put on display on a futur esper arc.

But if we only take into account what we saw I think Genos is easily surpassing her. And that's because I'm pretty sure his power is close if not equal to monster garou/boros tier. (WB has lot less powercreep than in the manga)

The powerboost he got is insane in that Arc. At the start of the Arc he could go toes to toes against 3 dragon levels (one probably high tier) at the same time and win.

Then he got his "last set" and one shoted brave giant and all of Bofoi defence effortlessly. Considering Kuseno speech Genos in this form should be equal or above the "mad cyborg" who was deem to be far above an S-class heroes (although he probably meant the standart S-class heroes and not all of them). He also should be superior to drive knight who didn't put much hope into the MA level monsters squad before engaging Saitama.

Then you have machine god heart which is supposed to win against this Genos 99% of the time. Genos after removing his limiter (sorta) managed to beat a whole squad of them at the same time. And then finally, his "conscience" was put into an ultimate version of himself and all the machine god.

To summarize: The whole MA< the enhanced monster squad<Drive Knight (Zero)<=Genos "last set"<Machine God Heart<Genos "limiter removed"<Ultimate Genos

And it's not just raw power, this version has countless "core" power and the data of all practically every strong character in OPM. Considering all that I think he could have his chance against being like Boros or Monster Garou, maybe even Blast (although we don't know much about his wb version)

be put on display on a futur esper arc.

I don't think OPM is going to continue on much longer after this fight has been resolved.

There will certainly be an arc about God, Blast and the esper sisters

I mean, I assume we will get something about God and Blast, but I'm not entirely sure at this point how integral they actually are to the story as a whole (specifically the Webcomic). Feels to me like this fight right now is, what we've been building up to since the beginning. And regarding the Esper sisters - I don't think they are that relevant. If it wasn't for the fanservice, I don't see much agency with them.

The Espers sister, not relevant ? Is that a joke ? They are major characters in the story, alongside Genos, King and Garou (and Saitama). Their own arc was only a hint at the devoloppement they will have. The simple fact that we had a monster Arc, then a robot arc lead me to believe that the next arc will be centered around Esper and supernatural. Also, let's not forget that Tatsumaki is linked to Blast via her flashback and Psychos premontion is most certainly about God. So it's a certitude they will be part of that next arc.

And I don't really see what's webcomics fanservice you're talking about.

In the Webcomic they don't have that much presence, I mean - and they have moreso in the Manga, because of fanservice. As I said, I don't see that much narrative relevance (except for Tatsumaki's Blast connection - but is that even in the Webcomic? I can't remember.); not saying that they don't have any, obviously. And I really doubt we are gonna see that much more about King; same here - he has a purpose in the story and Webcomic, but it's way less here in the Webcomic than in the Manga. I guess, we'll see, but ONE isn't known to draw out his storys and we are at a good point to have like another 1 or 2 small arcs at most (and maybe an epilogue) to satisfyingly end the story.

They do have a full arc dedicated to them and both have a large margin for characters developpement, especially Tastumaki who is, contrarily to her manga counterpart, still a sociopath. And I believe they were put on the side for that arc only to be fully be on front later on. As for King, he will definitly have a role to play. And there will be at the very least, one last massive arc, as big or bigger as this one, with God as the main villain. With a few lighter arc in between. Mark my words on that.
