Compared to the Neo HR Director's excitement, Han Sen was much calmer.
He spoke indifferently, "Miss Sylph, you can handle the publicity as you see fit."
"Yes!" Sylph became even more excited, having received approval. "Also, many media outlets hope to conduct exclusive interviews with our heroes, especially with Neo Princess, Scarlet Rose, and Plasma Dancer, these three high-popularity heroes who have already debuted individually."
Han Sen's gaze swept over the S-Class, who instantly held her breath and tensed up, a playful curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Exclusive interviews are unnecessary; maintain an air of mystery," he rejected the proposal. "Heroes only need to appear when Monsters emerge."
"Alright, alright... I understand." Although Sylph felt it was a bit of a shame, she immediately obeyed the command.
"By the way," Han Sen changed the subject and asked, "How is the recruitment for Neo's captain-level positions progressing? When can I meet them?"
Sylph on the other end of the screen paused, then showed an apologetic expression: "My deepest apologies, Leader."
"For the captain-level heroes, we need to conduct extremely strict screening and background checks. We don't have completely finalized candidates yet."
"It might... still take some time."
Han Sen's expression was noncommittal: "Make it as soon as possible."
Sylph instinctively straightened up: "Your will shall be done, Leader!"
Han Sen didn't say anything more and directly hung up the communication.
Pondering Neo's layout and the hidden strength behind it, his claws instinctively caressed the delicate body in his arms.
The S-Class's pupils contracted slightly. Having served so carefully until now, it was the first time Monster King had treated her so gently, instantly seizing her heart.
"Your Majesty..." she spoke cautiously, her voice carrying an almost imperceptible tremor.
Han Sen finally turned his head, his eyes, now a more vivid crimson, fixed on her.
His gaze was as deep as an abyss, so profound it seemed capable of drawing one's soul in.
"Tonight, come to my bedchamber."
The S-Class's breathing suddenly hitched, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.
Han Sen's finger lightly traced her delicate jawline, his voice carrying an undeniable tone of command.
"Remember to bring that battle suit."
Boom!
The S-Class felt her brain instantly explode into a dazzling firework display, immense euphoria drowning out all the previous unease and fear.
After licking for so long... after being a tool for so long... finally, finally, was it her turn?!
She could even imagine how thrilling it would be to enter Monster King's room wearing that magnificent dress, a symbol of a hero's identity!
Indeed, a loyal follower eventually gets everything!
A brilliant smile instantly bloomed on her enchanting face, the fanaticism in her eyes almost overflowing.
She knelt on one knee, devoutly lowered her head, and kissed Han Sen's fingertips.
"As you command, my Majesty!"
The S-Class exited the Insect God Temple with light steps, each one seemingly treading on clouds, her entire being exuding an aura of impending gratification.
She needed to prepare thoroughly; for tonight's battle, she had to be in her most perfect state.
Thump... thump... thump... Just then, a heavy and unique sound of footsteps came from the temple entrance.
Like some heavy machinery moving, each step made the ground tremble slightly.
The S-Class paused her steps and saw a tall, imposing figure appear at the entrance of the Insect God Temple.
It was a gigantic Armored Gorilla, armored to the teeth, covered from head to toe in a thick, ferocious dark-gold armor.
The armor's style was full of violent aesthetics, with sharp angles and rigid lines.
Its seemingly clumsy giant body was actually exceptionally agile, and once engaged in battle, it would unleash a destructive power that would leave opponents dumbfounded.
Complex hydraulic lines and energy circuits were exposed at the joints, and the core reactor on its chest emitted a faint blue light like a small star.
His arms had been transformed into terrifying weapons of slaughter: one side was a Gauss cannon of alarming caliber.
The other side was a high-speed rotating chainsaw greatsword, and its back was laden with dense missile launch pods.
It combined the modified biology of the House of Evolution with the multi-barreled firepower style of Metal Knight, essentially a walking war fortress.
The moment she saw Armored Gorilla, the S-Class instinctively recoiled a few steps, her breathing subconsciously slowing.
With her Demon-level peak strength, she had the illusion of facing a cadre member.
This indicated that this drastically altered iron lump was indeed a Dragon-level Weirdo standing at the pinnacle of the Monster Association!!
At the same time, Armored Gorilla also paused his steps slightly.
Data streamed down like a waterfall in his golden electronic eyes, analyzing the S-Class's recent changes in expression and psychological state, combined with the fact that she had just emerged from the Insect God Temple, instantly leading him to a conclusion.
"Greetings, Queen."
The S-Class:???
The dumbfounded S-Class blinked.
—What did this iron lump, exuding a powerful aura, just call me?
—Queen?!
On her enchanting face, ecstasy and shyness intertwined, instantly turning as red as if it would drip blood.
Although it was just a misunderstanding, she loved this misunderstanding!
"Cough, cough! You, you, you, hello..."
The S-Class cleared her throat, trying to maintain her composure as a Queen, although the corners of her mouth, upturned almost to her ears, completely betrayed her true inner thoughts.
She feigned reserve and puffed out her chest, saying in a tone she believed to be full of authority, "Hmm, Armored Gorilla, is it? His Majesty is waiting for you inside; you may enter."
After speaking, she walked away quickly with light, flirtatious steps, like a cat.
Armored Gorilla's golden electronic eyes flickered, and he took heavy steps, entering the Insect God Temple.
Thump, thump, thump... Each step caused the hard obsidian floor to emit a dull resonance.
Upon the throne, Han Sen's gaze fell upon his transformed subordinate.
The Armored Gorilla before him was no longer the seemingly simple but actually shrewd modified Monster from the House of Evolution.
"Your Majesty."
Armored Gorilla stopped ten meters in front of the throne, knelt on one knee, his huge metal head bowed deeply, his movements fluid and standard, full of a soldier's iron will. "Armored Gorilla reports as ordered. All body modifications were completed three hours ago. Energy output is stable, systems are running well, and I am ready for combat at any time."
His voice, also electronically processed, became deep, cold, and devoid of any emotion, as if he were reading a data report.
"Dr. Genus's craftsmanship is truly getting better and better."
