With Han Sen's current eyesight, even from hundreds of kilometers away, he could still clearly see the apocalyptic scene in the distant city.
"That direction is… K-City?"
Han Sen's gaze sharpened, and his powerful perception, amplified by his immense mental strength, instantly crossed the spatial barrier.
At the boundary between the city and the wilderness, a terrifying giant beast, its size comparable to a mountain, was rampaging wildly.
The beast was covered in dark brown spikes, seemingly made of diamond, like giant swords pointing to the sky, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
From Han Sen's distance and angle, this creature resembled a Wild Boar magnified ten thousand times.
Every movement was no less than a landslide, and the earth groaned under the strain as it collapsed and shattered.
Human-made skyscrapers were as fragile as building blocks before it, easily trampled and destroyed, turning into a sky full of smoke, dust, and rebar debris.
Most terrifying was its digging ability; with a fierce swipe of its thick limbs, the solid ground was torn apart like tofu, forming giant, bottomless fissures.
The entire city's foundation rapidly disintegrated and collapsed under its savage destruction!
Even from a great distance, a tyrannical aura, far exceeding that of ordinary Monsters, still assailed him.
Dragon-level!
An undeniable Dragon-level Monster!
In the sky, the light blue stream of light enveloping Han Sen paused slightly, and a hint of interest curved the handsome young man's lips.
"Just finished adding points, and I run into a big guy like this… Is he here to welcome me?"
Monster Name: Wild Boar
Disaster Level: Dragon (High)
"This name… to grow so big, it's truly wild…"
Han Sen muttered, while roughly scanning the ability information.
They were all common moves like "Savage Charge" and "Ground Splitting Thrust," purely relying on its terrifying, mountain-like physique and unmatched strength; the value for replication was not significant.
Knowing this information, Han Sen felt no regret.
Even without an SSR-level ability to replicate, a Dragon-level Monster could provide a considerable supplement of Origin Points.
Although he was currently well-off and flush with cash, he understood the principle of not sitting idly by while his resources dwindled.
There could never be too many Origin Points!
With this thought, the high-speed, light blue meteor in the sky accelerated, leaving trails of dissipating white sonic boom clouds in the air, and rapidly swept towards the center of the disaster.
Soon after Han Sen left.
From another direction, on the beach, a emerald green light cluster slowly ascended.
Tatsumaki, with her strong demeanor, was still in her cool beach attire, looking displeased in the direction from which explosions and tremors vaguely emanated.
"Seriously, what's going on lately? Usually, I'm bored with no work, but as soon as I take a vacation, something happens…"
She grumbled, but her sense of responsibility as an S-Class Hero prevented her from standing by.
Tatsumaki's movements were decisive; her petite body, enveloped in terrifying Psychokinesis, shot into the sky, transforming into a green streak of light faster than a fighter jet, and vanished into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

WARNING
"Emergency Evacuation Warning! The Monster 'Wild Boar' is moving from the suburbs of K-City towards the city center; the affected area is already nearing destruction! The disaster level for this event has been designated as — Dragon-level! The Hero Association is urgently dispatching S-Class Heroes for containment; residents in the vicinity are advised to evacuate to Hero Association shelters as soon as possible!"
"Repeat! Emergency Evacuation Warning…"
WARNING
The piercing alarm blared through every corner of K-City, but it was mercilessly drowned out by the beast's roars and the collapse of buildings.
A light blue meteor, moving at extreme speed, suddenly braked high above K-City, and as its light gradually dispersed, Han Sen's tall figure was outlined.
He hovered a thousand meters in the air, looking down at the hellish scene below.
On the ground, the Monster "Wild Boar" made a savage lunge and burrowed, then re-emerged from the earth, having uprooted an entire row of commercial buildings.
Its disproportionately small, green-bean-like eyes rotated, revealing a human-like cunning and slyness that belied its massive size.
Clearly, this animalistic Monster enjoyed the thrill of wantonly trampling human civilization underfoot.
Hot, magma-like breath spewed from its large nostrils, and each step unleashed destructive shockwaves, leveling the surviving buildings.
The entire city seemed like crumpled wastepaper, savagely kneaded by an invisible giant hand, with broken walls, thick smoke, and an apocalyptic scene that sent shivers down one's spine.
On the ground, scattered B- and A-Class Heroes, sweating profusely, were evacuating the surviving civilians, their faces a mix of anxiety and helplessness.
Their attacks on the mountain-like giant beast in the distance didn't even elicit a dull thud, let alone cause any effective damage.
"This… our attacks can't even break its defense!"
"A Monster of this level doesn't seem like something we can handle, does it?"
"Damn it! What are the Association and the S-Class Heroes doing? Hurry up and send reinforcements!!"
"Look, who's that?"
"…"
Among the many struggling Heroes, A-Class Rank 31, "Stinger," dressed in hip-hop style with large headphones, silently stepped forward and coolly declared, "It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it."
Heroes: !!!
Whose subordinate is this? .JPG
Under the converging gazes of the Heroes, Stinger leaped from the top of a leaning building, like a cannonball fired from a barrel.
All his strength converged in his right fist, the muscles of his arm beneath his hoodie tensed, veins bulging.
He aimed precisely at the Wild Boar's relatively soft underbelly and slammed into it!
However, the Dragon-level Monster merely shook its body impatiently.
Without needing to deliberately defend, a nearby dark brown spike casually swung, striking Stinger with a speed far exceeding his own impact, precisely hitting him.
"Ah ah ah ah ah — !"
With a prolonged scream, Stinger was swatted away like a fly, flying backward even faster than he came.
He crashed into a distant, already crumbling ruin, instantly engulfed by endless smoke, dust, and debris, his fate unknown.
All Heroes: "…"
Despair, like an pervasive plague, rapidly spread in the hearts of every survivor.
The Wild Boar snorted triumphantly, its lewd small eyes quickly locking onto a spherical, large shelter in the distance.
In its perception, tens of thousands of life signatures were gathered there.
It then bared its teeth, revealing a human-like, malicious sneer.
With just one claw, it could completely dig through and crush the hopes of those tens of thousands of people, along with their flesh and bones, into a pulpy mess.
The Wild Boar immediately raised its claw and walked towards the shelter, preparing to enjoy a slaughter feast.
