A torrent of destructive energy so thick that it made people's heart palpitate, like a roaring dragon, with a high temperature that could burn everything, slammed into the huge body of the Deep Sea King that was about to attack!
“BOOM——!!!”
The deafening explosion was accompanied by Deep Sea King's unexpected roar of pain!
The raging flames instantly devoured half of its body, and the terrifyingly high temperature instantly evaporated the surrounding rain into a large cloud of mist!
The mountain-like body of the Deep Sea King was knocked back by the sudden devastating blow. Every step he took created a deep pit in the muddy ground. His chest covered with scales was charred black, and wisps of black smoke rose up!
The scorching steam mixed with the stench of burnt flesh on the Deep Sea King's body spread out, directly knocking it back to the first stage.
Di Wang landed steadily on the ground. The breath of the unlicensed knight in his arms was as weak as a candle in the wind, and blood soaked through the front of his shirt.
This C-rank hero seemed to sense something, and in the last moment before he completely fell into a coma, he struggled to open his eyes a little.
When the blurry vision captured Di Wang's cold jaw line and three iconic scars, the nerves that were stretched to the limit suddenly relaxed.
"King..." The unlicensed knight's lips moved, and a faint and almost inaudible sound came out, "...I'm counting on you..."
Before he could finish his words, his head tilted weakly to one side and he fell into a complete coma.
Di Wang called out in a low and steady voice: "Saitama."
"Hmm?" Saitama landed on the ground in response, his bald head shining in the rain.
"Hold him tight."
Di Wang carefully handed the unconscious unlicensed knight to Saitama's arms, his movements carrying a rare solemnity.
He recognized the heroic spirit of the unlicensed knight. Although he himself did not possess such virtues of fearlessness and sacrifice for others, it did not prevent him from respecting those who possessed such virtues.
Di Wang looked over Saitama's shoulder and stared at Deep Sea King who was trying to regain his footing from the smoke and steam of the explosion in the distance.
"We can't let this arrogant guy..." Di Wang spoke word by word with chilling murderous intent, "die so easily! Let me teach it a lesson... let it know what it means to regret and crawl ashore!"
Saitama looked down at the dying unlicensed knight in his arms, then looked at the Deep Sea King in front of him who was struggling to stand up in the mud and roaring furiously.
A rare hint of cold understanding flashed across those dead fish eyes that usually looked a bit dull.
He nodded slowly, holding the unlicensed knight and taking a few steps back, his tone was calm but with a hint of disgust:
"Ah, indeed. It would be too easy for this bastard to solve it with just one punch."
"A few more heroes coming to die?" The Deep Sea King shook his burnt head, and the new flesh buds under the charred scales squirmed wildly.
It let out a deafening roar, the sound waves creating ripples in the rain, "No matter how many come! The result will be the same! They will only become stepping stones for me to step onto the land and rule this world! Roar——!!!"
At the entrance of the shelter, the survivors huddled together on the edge of the breach, their faces blurred by rain and tears.
"It's the King! The S-rank King is here!"
"King...can you do it? So many heroes have fallen..."
"It's useless... It's useless... It's a monster... A real monster..."
"Even the attacks of so many heroes didn't hurt it... Let's... run away..."
"Escape? Where can you escape to? Are you sure you can outrun that monster?"
"Mom! I don't want to die!"
Desperate whispers spread among the crowd like cold poisonous snakes.
Di Wang's steps did not pause at all.
He walked through the mud and blood, walked through the fallen bodies of heroes, and walked through the gazes cast at his back, which were mixed with faint hope and deep despair.
“Boom…Boom…Boom…”
The low and powerful roar of the Emperor's engine, like a war drum revived from an ancient battlefield, penetrated the sound of the rain and began to beat slowly in his chest!
