"Alright," you think to yourself. It's truly rare that someone would dare to help you when the whole world is against you. If it turns out that this Mountain King hasn't done too many bad things afterward, you might consider promoting him.
[If you had focused your efforts, you could have easily taken down the Scissors King. Now, with the assistance of a King-level Mountain-Bearing King, it will be even easier.]
[In less than half a minute, the Scissors King's exoskeleton was destroyed by your combined efforts, turning into a fireball that exploded.]
"Red Cloak King, you truly are powerful!" King Fushan laughed. "No wonder you have such a high bounty on your head; the conglomerates have no choice but to fear you!"
After working side-by-side, your relationship has become much closer.
【Sudden! 】
[Cheer!]
[Your back armor was blasted open. This exoskeleton, with its many functions, is already unable to withstand excessive attacks, let alone a full-force attack from a monarch-level being.]
[The King of Mount Fushan struck your fragile body with his diamond-like fist!]
【Boom! 】
His powerful, heavy fist felt like it had struck a mountain; it was even bounced off, and the armor on his right fist was damaged and cracked.
You silently turned your head, and under his utterly shocked gaze, coughed awkwardly.
"Well, I didn't expect things to develop this way. My acting wasn't up to par, so I'll start a new game."
[You clicked the button, ending this future.]
[In yet another future, King Fushan slams his fist down, sending you flying backward and crashing to the ground. As if stripped of all power, you lie there, bewildered, asking a question.]
"Why...we were fighting side by side just now..."
"Didn't we agree to fight against the conglomerates together?"
[The Mountain King coldly declared, "I've never found resisting conglomerates interesting!"]
"You're just a mere monarch-level being, what right do you have to oppose a behemoth like the Dawn Consortium?"
"Over the years, I've had enough of being hunted down. I hate that life of constant uncertainty!"
"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too young and naive!"
[The Mountain King said, "The conglomerate approached me with a deal: if I could kill you, they would not only clear up all my past conflicts with them, but they would also get the 1 billion bounty!"]
"I don't care what injustices you've suffered, I don't care why you were as foolish as I was back then to rebel against the conglomerate, because you'll now become my stepping stone..."
Before he could finish speaking, he found himself suddenly silenced, and the world before him was turned upside down, not just upside down, but spinning continuously...
[A head rolls to the ground.]
You are ending this second chapter of your future.
Back to the present.
"Red-Cloaked King, you truly are powerful!"
[The Mountain King, laughing heartily, approached you from behind.]
[And you simply said coldly, "I hate it when people give me such an unpleasant nickname like 'Red Cloak King'!"]
Then, he swung his sword backhand, piercing through his abdominal armor.
[And it controlled the power, refraining from instantly obliterating the fragile body within him.]
"Just...just for this?" He couldn't understand.
"Of course," you nodded. "Otherwise, what else? Could it be because I saw through your pretense of joining forces with me, while you've already joined the An Group and are preparing to stab me in the back?"
[King of Mount Fu: "..."]
"Impossible... How did you find out? Was it just because you suspected something?" he asked, unwilling to give up.
"Oh? It really is?" you exclaimed. "If you had given me an awful nickname, I might have spared your life, but since you dared to betray me, I have no choice but to take your dog's life!"
[The sword is powered on.]
[King of Mount Fu, die!]
The deaths of the two kings did not deter the other kings: one was killed by you and King Fushan working together, and the other was killed by your sneak attack, so in their eyes you still possess king-level strength.
"Did we fail?" At the conglomerate's core meeting, some expressed disappointment.
"Xu An, it seems your clever idea didn't work," a woman said provocatively to the man opposite her.
"Damn it! Who knew that King Fushan was such a useless piece of trash, his intentions were seen through by the target!" The man slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Hehehe." The woman chuckled. "Didn't he say he didn't like the title 'Red Cloak King'?"
"Alright!" The middle-aged man in the lead gestured to stop the two from arguing. "Just wait and see, those 'things' are about to make their appearance."
[The man stared at the screen: "Emperor-level...so what? Among those trash kings outside, the trash emperor who appears only once every few decades, the so-called god of the abandoned mining star who is said to be able to stand on equal footing with us..."]
"We could have been mass-producing them a long time ago!"
[...]
[Garbage Zone 162.]
This place has become a forbidden zone of death.
Those below the King level are not qualified to enter.
As for the kings of trash...
[Four kings have fallen, sixteen supreme kings have died in battle, forty-nine middle kings have fallen, and the combined casualties of lower kings and quasi-kings have exceeded one hundred!]
It was as if a replay of what had happened to the exoskeleton bounty hunters just hours before, outside that city, had once again gripped some people with fear.
"A monster, is this a monster whose power is inexhaustible?"
"Would the fall of two great monarchs only leave a few scratches on his body?"
"The Dawn Consortium has deceived us! They have deceived us!"
The remaining two hundred-odd "Trash Kings" were demoralized; more than half of them were considering leaving and slowly retreated.
Instead of giving chase, you looked in a certain direction.
There, twenty-three menacing armored figures marched forward in unison.
They didn't feel like humans, but rather like twenty-three ferocious beasts that had lost all intelligence and personality!
[A beast with only cold-blooded killing intent resides within him!]
[They are the prodigies cultivated by the conglomerate at enormous cost!]
[The term "god" refers to their power, which is akin to that of a god on earth, a trash emperor.]
[The term "sin" refers to the fact that they have lost their humanity and are now nothing more than a group of abominations used for slaughter!]
[These abominations are, in some cases, worthless emperors who were swindled and murdered by conglomerates hundreds of years ago, and then brainwashed, modified, and frozen in time until now.]
[Some were seeds they nurtured from childhood, not handed over to schools to let these geniuses leave the planet, but instead provided with abundant resources to cultivate them into internal manipulation masters, and then subjected them to various modifications, ultimately forming monsters.]
They... or rather, they can no longer be considered human. Although they still breathe and can still manipulate power, they are essentially a group of monsters!
