"This time, perhaps it's our chance to reach the surface."
Elder Centipede used psychic power to notify all the executives, telling them to prepare.
Pochi heard the news and immediately went berserk, launching energy cannons like they were free, smashing into the ground. Ugly President's face was full of excitement, but no matter what expression he wore, his face was so abstract it made people want to spit on it.
Emperor of the Universe looked up at the ceiling. "Finally, the apocalypse is coming?"
Black Sperm sneered. "Let those guys go first, then I'll reap the benefits."
While the executives were envisioning the future, Elder Centipede's scouting eye had already flown out of the ruins and was quietly looking toward the Hero Association headquarters.
"Due to the impact of the previous meteor, our counter-reconnaissance satellites were severely damaged, which is why we didn't detect such a behemoth."
The person in charge held his forehead, his face grim.
"Now is not the time to find out whose fault it is. Notify all S-Class Heroes that an alien spaceship has invaded our planet. Tell everyone who can come to come."
As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, a series of messages were sent from the Hero Association headquarters.
"Do we even need to be notified? Everyone saw it."
Tatsumaki stood at the headquarters of the Hero Association, looking at the huge starship in the distance, and finally felt a little tricky.
The order from headquarters was to avoid fighting as much as possible, to buy time for nearby residents to evacuate urgently. If it could be resolved peacefully, that would be for the best. But if the other side really wanted to fight, the S-Class Heroes could go all out.
"These old bones haven't moved in a long time."
In the manor, Bang and Atomic Samurai were playing chess when their phones vibrated continuously.
"Hmm~! I see it. This size is about the same as a meteor."
Bang hung up the phone. Atomic Samurai had already stood up and was about to leave.
"Last time I didn't get to see Mr. Akira's swordsmanship. This time, I must see it clearly. Disciples, let's go."
The two old men were not slow, leading their disciples to rush quickly.
Flashy Flash saw the message, and Mr. Akira's figure instantly came to his mind. "For such a big event, Mr. Akira will definitely go."
Muttering to himself, Flashy Flash instantly disappeared from the spot.
Superalloy Darkshine, Tanktop Master, and a series of other heroes all looked at the spaceship from a distance and chose to rush toward it. For a time, more than a dozen figures flew across the rooftops, converging toward the Dark Matter Legion's vessel.
"Brother~! This is bad—aliens are coming to attack our planet."
The TV station's helicopter had already flown near the scene, filming from a distance.
The previous two times—one time the Deep Sea Tribe landed, and those octopuses came with their own water guns—the helicopter couldn't fly at all. As for the meteor, that thing was directly linked to satellite footage, leaving the TV station with no use for its equipment.
This time, the alien spaceship landed right in an abandoned urban area not far from the newspaper office. This immense fortune, dropping right before their eyes, caused several helicopters from the news agency to take off immediately.
Mr. Akira said "Oh," with no interest. Anyway, it wasn't next to the building, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Brother, is that all your reaction?"
"What else do you want? Has the planet exploded yet?"
Mr. Akira lay sideways on the ground, picking up the phone that had rung several times.
"Mr. Akira, alien creatures have landed on the ground, and we need support…"
"Uh huh—I know, but I haven't had lunch yet. I'll be very quick—just a few minutes."
Just then, Kimishima Ayano pushed open the door with the takeout.
"Alright, my takeout has arrived. Bye-bye."
Hanging up the phone, Mr. Akira waited for his food, leisurely. But Fubuki, also a hero, was visibly anxious.
"Mr. Akira, do you really have to eat dinner before going?"
"Hmm! Isn't it live on TV? No need to rush. It definitely won't start fighting for a while."
As soon as he said this, Mr. Akira saw a monster emerge from the ruins, pick up a rock, and hurl it violently toward the spaceship.
Thump!
The impact was dull and loud—but it couldn't break through the energy shield on the vessel's surface at all.
Bang!
On the TV screen, the monster who threw the rock turned into a puddle of ketchup, dead beyond dead.
"Hmph~!"
Mr. Akira laughed out loud. "Isn't that just asking for death?"
"Mr. Akira, the new Fubuki Group should be dispatched."
Fubuki looked earnest, and a little excited. But Mr. Akira was not in a hurry at all, just slowly eating his ordered burger.
"Let's talk after lunch. If I get hungry when the fight starts later, that would be bad."
At this moment, several more monsters emerged from the ruins, and as soon as they showed their heads, they were again splattered into blood.
"Mr. Akira!"
Fubuki was about to speak, but Mr. Akira picked up a hot dog and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Are those monsters your friends? Are you rushing to save them? Eat, eat."
Fubuki then realized—Mr. Akira was right. All those who died were monsters, and no humans were harmed.
Suou Yuki picked up a french fry and took a bite. "So that's what Brother meant—amazing."
Kimishima Ayano watched from the side, not saying a word. She no longer understood her young lady's thoughts and hadn't noticed anything.
"The creatures down there are so ugly—not even as pretty as one of my fingernails."
"I also think these creatures are the strangest-looking among all the life forms I've seen."
"Exactly—and why do they wrap their bodies in something? How do they excrete then?"
The group of aliens descending from the Dark Matter Legion's vessel paused, all keeping their distance from the creature who spoke that last sentence.
"I take back what I just said—those ugly things down there have become a little cute…"
As they were speaking, many shattered rocks shot toward these aliens like shrapnel. The next moment, a huge winged figure swept through the air, and the monsters below turned into puddles of flesh.
"Ah ha ha ha—are the creatures on this planet all so weak? Then it's time for a good massacre."
Melzargard, one of the three top combatants of the Dark Matter Legion, was a powerful creature with five personalities and infinite regeneration. When the five personalities merged into one, its destructive power was enough to reach Dragon-level. But when the five personalities separated, the combat power of each body would relatively weaken—only reaching the peak of Ghost Level.
After killing a few fodder monsters, it thought all creatures were as vulnerable as fodder monsters. But when it split into five to prepare for a rampage, it coincidentally encountered five S-Class Heroes who had rushed to the scene.
"Hahaha—you guys are even lighter in weight than those fodder from before. Scream—I will grab your bodies and crush them bit by bit, and finally crush your heads."
Swish.
The five-way split Melzargard was spouting threats. It was then sliced into fragments by Atomic Samurai's Atomic Slash.
"Fodder just talk too much."
Before he finished speaking, the five-way split Melzargard's body had already reassembled.
"Not bad, not bad—I didn't expect there to be creatures on this planet powerful enough to this extent."
Atomic Samurai did not speak, responding only with another Atomic Slash. But without knowing the weakness of the five-way split Melzargard, Atomic Samurai's slashes were useless. The five-way split Melzargard instantly reassembled again—only his tone no longer held the arrogance from before.
"It seems I need to change my strategy."
Every time it thought it would escape, the third Atomic Slash was even denser.
"Hahaha—it's useless—I won't die."
Before the sand-like cells could even form a head, Bang arrived nearby and poked its head with one hand.
Melzargard's face changed dramatically. Bang, however, suddenly understood. "I was just wondering why you always reshape your head. Now it seems this isn't controlled by you autonomously, but by this thing."
"Hehehe—that's just a useless thing in my body—crushing it won't do anything."
Sizzle.
The bead found inside Melzargard's head was crushed by the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist. The previously arrogant Melzargard instantly melted, disappearing without a trace.
"It seems this thing was its core."
At the same time, although the battles between the other four S-Class Heroes and Melzargard had their twists and turns, they all quickly discovered the "key point."
"Melzargard was too careless. I will avenge him."
The supreme commander Geryuganshoop, with his huge octopus-like body twisted into a ball, immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare for bombardment. He wanted to kill all the creatures below and have them accompany Melzargard in death.
Suddenly, alarms blared on the spaceship. Countless missile bay doors opened.
All the S-Class Heroes looked up, their expressions grim.
Beneath the ground, Elder Centipede was dripping with cold sweat. It hadn't expected the spaceship to bombard the entire ground without a word. Although the Monster Association was deeply buried underground, if it were to be badly damaged by the explosion, wouldn't that expose the Monster Association to the sunlight?
Just as Elder Centipede was thinking about whether to use its superpower to control those cannonballs—
Bang!
Its scouting eye was cut open by Flashy Flash, who was wandering around.
"There are still unclean things around here."
Flashy Flash was already prepared, and with his speed, he should be able to escape the explosion range of these missiles. But in his heart, he was wondering why Akira hadn't arrived yet.
The next second, the warheads shot out. As everyone watched with wide eyes, Tatsumaki finally made her move.
Her small body floated in mid-air. Her hair gently floated in the air under the influence of her superpower. With a flick of her finger and a twist of her hand, the falling warheads instantly turned around and flew rapidly toward the Dark Matter Legion's ship.
However, at this moment, an equally powerful psychokinesis intercepted the warheads, and it also made Tatsumaki realize that there was a superpower master on this spaceship.
The warheads exploded with a roar under the compression of the two superpower masters. The resulting shockwave lifted the entire spaceship several meters, and the interior vibrated violently.
"Is this Tatsumaki?!"
Although the scouting eye was destroyed again, Elder Centipede had already taken in the entire battle.
"Fight—fight hard. It's best if both sides are severely wounded, then the Monster Association will take over the entire world in one fell swoop. That Orochi guy has been brainwashed almost completely. If the time is right…"
"Hahahaha~!"
In a room deep within the Monster Association, Psykos pursed her lips and chuckled, her charm flowing.
On the ground, many buildings were torn down by Tatsumaki using her superpower and flew rapidly toward the spaceship. But at this moment, a green alien that looked like a carnivorous plant directly jumped down from the spaceship. It opened its large mouth and spewed out a corrosive acid—instantly dissolving the houses Tatsumaki was manipulating.
"Groribas, you go deal with the others. I'll take care of this superpower user."
The commander's voice echoed in Groribas's mind, and he instantly dropped down toward several S-Class Heroes nearby.
Genos, who had just arrived at the battlefield, immediately clasped his hands together upon seeing this. "Super Incineration Cannon!"
Bang!
A huge blaze enveloped Groribas, burning and knocking him flying. But in an instant, he leaped out of the flames, completely unharmed.
"To think that such an attack could harm the strongest warrior Groribas—it's simply a dream."
Atomic Samurai, chewing on a straw, strode forward. "You can only say that after surviving my slashes."
As usual, Atomic Samurai unleashed his Atomic Slash, then turned and walked away. But after just one step, he suspiciously pulled out the sword in his hand and found that the blade was already corroded and pitted.
The next second, Flashy Flash made his move—a clash of lightning and flint, but it couldn't break through the defense at all. This green alien, which looked like a plant, had its defense ability maxed out.
Nearby, Tatsumaki tried to pull the person from inside the spaceship out. But Geryuganshoop threw pebbles to ambush Tatsumaki while she was using her superpower, distracting her, and instead pulled Tatsumaki up.
"This guy is a bit tricky."
Superalloy Darkshine, who had been punched flying by Groribas, climbed out of the rubble. He charged toward Groribas again. But Vest-Class Hero, who suffered the same fate as him, flew toward him at this moment.
"Are you alright?!"
Vest-Class Hero was beaten into a pig's head and couldn't speak.
Flashy Flash and Atomic Samurai, among others, attacked from multiple sides, but failed to break through Groribas's defense.
"Where's Akira? What is he doing?"
Flashy Flash asked, and everyone else was confused. Because Akira was a new addition, no one was familiar with him yet, and no one knew his current situation.
"Brother, ah~!"
Leaning on Fubuki's lap pillow, eating snacks fed into his mouth by Suou Yuki—Akira was leisurely watching the live broadcast on TV at this moment.
"Mr. Akira, the other S-Class Heroes are facing difficulties—it's time for the new Fubuki Group to make a dazzling appearance."
Fubuki's expression was excited, but Akira didn't react much.
Akira hadn't expected the first Dragon-level alien to be resolved so easily. But that was because Melzargard himself was stupid. However, the fact that Groribas, who was one of the three top combat powers of the Dark Matter Legion along with Melzargard, could hold off the heroes, surprised him even more. From its current performance, it was much stronger than Melzargard. Plus, there was someone who claimed to be the strongest psychokinesis master in the universe—good at throwing pebbles—who could contend with the current Tatsumaki. Its strength naturally went without saying.
If these two guys are so powerful, how strong is Boros?
"Ah~!"
Kimishima Ayano looked at the scene before her speechlessly, pouring the last bit of soda from her cup into her mouth.
Two minutes later, the fries were finally finished. Akira stood up and stretched. He was already ready to instantly kill Boros.
"When I come back later, both of you have to replenish my magic together."
Suou Yuki was happy, but not so happy. "Can your dear younger sister replenish your magic alone?"
"No—I want them all."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Fubuki was stunned for a second, then suddenly came back to her senses. "Eh eh! I haven't gotten in the car yet—I haven't gotten in the car yet!"
Mr. Akira definitely wouldn't admit that he was part of the new Fubuki Group. She had to rush to the scene.
As soon as Fubuki stood up, she found her legs were a bit numb from sitting for too long. But it didn't matter—her superpower had a healing effect. With a slight application, her condition immediately improved. She rushed downstairs to drive and headed toward the lockdown area.
And as she got into the car, Akira had already appeared on the TV's live broadcast screen.
"Eh—it's Akira, that strong guy who is Ranked Sixth in S-Class. Last time he shattered the meteor—this alien should be easy too."
People in front of the TV were discussing enthusiastically.
Iaijutsu Ichi, who was watching the battle, asked, "Mr. Akira, do you need a sword?"
Akira smiled. "No need—I'm short on time. And using a sword—that would be giving it too much credit."
Akira instantly appeared in front of Groribas, his hand passing through its head and then stopping inside.
