He raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, his voice as cold and hard as ever: "Leave immediately! There are monster disasters breaking out in many places, it's extremely dangerous! This is not a safe area!
The shop assistants woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly supported each other and staggered away.
Just as the crowd dispersed and Genos was about to deal with the spoils, his sensors suddenly detected a hint of unusual movement.
"who?!"
Genos turned around suddenly, and the armor on the palm of his right hand slid open, revealing a black muzzle, aimed at a dark corner outside the store.
"Come out! Otherwise you will be considered a hostile target and eliminated!"
"Stop! Don't fire! I surrender! I surrender!" A crying voice sounded.
In the shadows, a skinny "little monster" less than 1.5 meters tall emerged tremblingly.
It raised its arms high and its body was as thin as a bean sprout.
"I... I'm just a poor bean sprout who got lost... I accidentally ran here... Please let me go, hero!"
The skinny bean sprout pleaded pitifully, his tiny eyes filled with tears of "fear".
Genos's cold electronic eyes examined it.
Wolf-level trash, no threat at all.
But he firmly believed in eradicating all evil, and even such small fry could cause civilian casualties if left unchecked.
The muzzle of his right arm moved down slightly, and the energy of the palm cannon was not completely extinguished, ready to give a clean and neat "cleansing".
"Sorry, weirdo has to..."
However, just as Genos opened his mouth to pronounce the verdict, something strange happened!
All the fear on the face of the pitiful and thin bean sprout who was trembling a second ago disappeared instantly, and was replaced by an extremely twisted sense of pride and cruelty!
It raised its hands and swung them forward suddenly!
"Extremely cold storm, absolute zero!!"
A terrifying cold wave far beyond imagination broke out without any warning!
The air instantly condensed into frost, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, which spread wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Genos only felt the core processor sending out a shrill overload alarm, and the lubricating oil in the joints of his whole body froze within one ten-thousandth of a second!
He didn't even have time to react as his entire body, from his fingertips to his shoulders and to the core of his torso, was covered in an indestructible layer of black ice.
“Hahahahahahaha——!!!”
The skinny bean sprout changed his cowardly attitude and laughed wildly and arrogantly.
The hunched body straightened up, and a powerful, cold, evil dragon-level pressure was released without reservation.
"Stupid! So stupid! An S-class hero is just like this! Hahahaha! Another idiot who took the bait!"
It proudly paced around the immobile ice sculpture of Genos, its tone full of teasing and boasting:
"Which one? You're the third S-class hero to fall for my trick! Oh, no, the first two were unlucky A-class guys.
But it doesn't matter, you will soon be like them and become a glorious part of my record! Playing the pig to eat the tiger? This trick really works every time!
You heroes are always so naive, so... full of ridiculous sentimentality! Hahaha!"
The biting cold wasn't just on the outer shell.
Inside the ice, Genos's mechanical body is experiencing an unprecedented crisis.
Can’t… can’t move! Can’t even move a single part!
This ice... even freezes the flow of energy?!
...Damn it! Too careless! ...The core temperature dropped sharply...The energy reactor is on the verge of shutting down...I can't start any martial arts system...The self-check program...is ineffective...Teacher...I...
At this moment, Genos felt extremely regretful for his carelessness.
Teacher... I'm sorry... I'm incompetent... I failed your expectations... I can't follow you anymore... Finally... at least... pull it together...
Just when Genos was about to activate the self-destruct program in grief and anger, and was about to die together with the insidious and cunning Dragon-level monster in front of him.
“BOOM——!!!”
A shiny bald head popped out from under the floor tiles of the shop.
