Why King was needed as a decoy to grab the attention of elder centipede?


Actually, it was not King himself that was needed. In **Chapter 82** , you'll
read the following dialogue:

> They say Centichoro cooperates with the Monster Association **so he can get
> revenge against Blast**...

Remember that it was not King himself that made Centichoro go after him but
rather, _it was after he mentioned Blast_. King said that he brought Blast
with him and after taunting Centichoro that he was too afraid to face Blast,
Centichoro, presumably angered, went after him, thinking Blast was with him.

To conclude, _King himself was not specifically needed for the task_. It was
his lie that Blast was there that distracted Centichoro since _Centichoro
apparently wants to get revenge upon Blast_. Centichoro probably would not
have wanted to miss the chance to get even so after hearing that Blast was
there, he charged towards him. Saitama used Centichoro's hatred towards Blast
against him, resulting to his defeat.
