On the Internet, the deaths of 34 high-level heroes above level A who were collectively put on the wanted list yesterday instantly caused a huge storm.
Since the establishment of the Hero Association, although monsters continue to appear and the frequency is increasing, the number of deaths of all heroes has not exceeded 10 so far.
There were not many losses among the heroes above level A. Apart from those who retired voluntarily or due to injuries, the only one who was reported to have died was the Sexy Prisoner.
But the collective death of 34 senior heroes in just one day naturally caused shock to the whole society.
In response to the outside world's doubts, the Hero Association's response was very simple: "These heroes on the list are undercover agents from the Monster Association!"
Afterwards, the Hero Association released the information about the Monster Association.
The so-called Monster Association's goal is to destroy the Hero Association and then rule the entire earth.
Among them, there are about twenty monsters above the demon level that need S-level heroes to repel.
This news quickly overshadowed the death of the hero. Even those S-level heroes were shocked. It turned out that there was such a powerful force in the dark.
While these people were asking the association, they got another piece of information. It turned out that this information came from the S-class hero KING.
The association also announced that in order to obtain this information, KING was besieged by multiple monsters. Although he survived, he had lost his combat effectiveness.
…
The next morning, at the entrance of the Hero Association headquarters, KING started the Emperor Engine and stared nervously at the staff in front of him.
He was now preparing to face the fate that the staff would decide for him.
The staff member in a black suit said in a serious tone: "I regret to inform you, Mr. KING, because you do not meet the requirements of the Hero Association, your hero quota will be officially cancelled from today."
"As for the resources you previously obtained from the Association, the Association will not take them back. We will also publicize to the public that you were seriously injured in the battle with the Monster Association and cannot engage in heroic work. I hope you can cooperate."
Having said that, the staff couldn't help but feel helpless.
After the Hero Association's reform by Bai Ye, the proportion of power has become stronger. Without a certain level of strength, no matter how many tasks are completed, it is impossible to reach a higher level.
And when upgrading their level, every active hero must undergo a physical test in the presence of multiple referees to confirm that the person is qualified for the next heroic job. This test must be conducted at least once a year.
However, after the test just now, it was found that the KING, the most powerful hero rumored by the outside world, was just an ordinary person with a weak body and no super powers.
The so-called Emperor Engine turns out to only have a faster heartbeat and no special features at all... This is simply a huge scandal.
The top leaders of the association were collectively shocked when they learned this, and after a meeting and discussion, they decided to cover up the matter as much as possible, which led to the current situation.
"I understand. I've been trying to explain this for the past few years, but either I didn't have the chance or you didn't believe me. Now I can finally relax."
Hearing that he didn't have to pay any compensation, KING's heartbeat gradually calmed down and he felt relieved.
The staff member looked at KING disappointedly, stopped talking, and turned to walk into the association.
Watching the other person's back as he entered the association, King sighed softly, and then felt a hand on his shoulder.
King turned around and found Atomic Samurai with his hand on his shoulder, observing him.
He hurriedly explained: "It doesn't matter, it's just because I overused my abilities and can never recover. From now on, I can only be an ordinary person."
"That's such a pity." After receiving the other party's reply, Atomic Samurai sighed: "What are you going to do next? Do you need my help?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't have super powers, I'm still a game expert. From now on, I can support myself by just conquering the game."
King said confidently, then asked, "But why did you suddenly come to the Hero Association, Mr. Atomic Samurai?"
"Of course it's because of the news about the Monster Association that you risked your life to bring back." Bang, with bandages all over his body and many broken bones, stepped forward with a cane and said, "Most of the heroes above S-rank have rushed here now, ready to deal with the threat of the Monster Association."
Hearing Banggu say this, a thin line of sweat immediately dripped down King's forehead and laughed dryly: "So... So that's how it is."
After the two of them briefly exchanged a few words with KING, they came to the conference room, where several heroes were already waiting. Among these people, Bang was the first to notice Bai Ye's figure.
Bai Ye was leaning on a chair with a leisurely look on his face at the moment. When he saw Bangu come in, he raised his eyes slightly, glanced at him and ignored him.
As for Tornado, he sat at the table opposite Bai Ye, yawning from time to time, looking a little exhausted.
"Are you Mr. Buster?"
At this time, a man whose body was mostly modified by machines came in from outside. When he saw Bai Ye, he said seriously: "I am Genos, the apprentice of Mr. Saitama. Please give me your guidance in the future."
"Oh, Bai Ye, you're here too." A bald man appeared behind Genos and said, "How are you thinking about the previous duel invitation?"
"No problem, I've thought about it seriously. The official showdown will be in a month. I'll notify you then." Bai Ye said, and Saitama's eyes immediately lit up.
He had previously thought that Bai Ye had the same physique as him. Would he be able to fight head-on in a month?
After waiting for another half an hour, when these S-class heroes arrived one after another, a senior member of the association walked in from outside.
After glancing around, he sighed, "It seems that the explosion hasn't come yet. Let's get straight to the point."
"Everyone here should have heard that the intelligence about the Monster Association has been confirmed to be true. In order to deal with this impending threat, we must prepare in advance."
The senior executive said seriously: "So we are preparing to gather together to defeat the monsters. According to the information provided, the headquarters of the Monster Association is in the basement of City Z."
"In order to prevent the disaster from spreading, we'd better attack them within a day and kill all the enemies before they can react."
At this time, Child Emperor raised his hand and questioned: "Wait, isn't this a little too urgent? We are not ready yet?"
The other heroes at the scene also had different expressions. They didn't expect that time was so tight. Are they going to face the siege of monsters before they have reached their best condition?
