"What... what do you want to do?"
Psykos collapsed weakly to the ground as a powerful roar echoed all around.
"Relying on external power, you are nothing but a weakling in the end."
King's expression remained indifferent as an extremely powerful fluctuation spread out, instantly enveloping Psykos.
[Ding! Divine Power detected, beginning fusion.]
'Hehe, as for things like external power, just fuse them all into me. I love relying on external power the most.'
King felt the strength of the Divine Power, which far surpassed S-Class talents, and couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort throughout his body.
Buzz!
Psykos was now at the end of her rope. Under King's suppression, she had no power to resist and could only feel the strength draining from her body.
"No! Stop! This is the power bestowed upon me by God!"
Psykos shrieked hysterically, slumping helplessly to the ground as the last shred of power was stripped away.
[Ding! Divine Power fusion at 5%, Skill learned: Divine Power.]
'Only this much?' King frowned.
Although he had gained a new skill, the amount of Divine Power he had obtained was far too little. Even if he used the skill, its power would likely be barely satisfactory.
'Forget it, every little bit counts. Speaking of which, things seem quite lively over on the S-Class Heroes' side.'
King gazed into the distance, where countless explosions continued to ring out.
—
True Spiral Incineration Cannon!
Rumble!
The flames were blocked by countless energy orbs.
Homeless Emperor looked at Genos with a face full of mockery.
'It's no good, this mode is reaching its limit, and Tatsumaki is also...'
Genos dragged his battered body, firmly shielding Tatsumaki.
At this moment, Tatsumaki had already fallen unconscious due to overusing Psychokinesis, while the other S-Class Heroes on the battlefield were also struggling in bitter fights.
Swish!
In the distance, a figure sped toward them.
King knew that in their current state, the S-Class Heroes were unable to withstand the Dragon-level executives of the Monster Association. With their main force Tatsumaki unconscious and the other heroes' strength heavily restricted due to being countered, things looked grim.
'I need to hurry, or there will definitely be massive casualties.'
King felt a bit anxious, but just then, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split open, and a figure lunged at him.
"Hmm? This guy is..."
Boom!
King instinctively threw a punch, and to his surprise, the two sides were evenly matched.
His entire body was pitch black, and his gray hair had transformed into two black horns.
'He's finally appeared, Horned Garou. Unfortunately, now is not the time. I need to support the S-Class Heroes immediately.'
Hero's Heart, activate! First Layer Liberation! Second Layer Liberation!
Thump! Thump!
A deafening roar resounded through the sky as King began to concentrate all his strength.
"I'll finish you in one blow, then go reinforce the others!"
Boom!
A terrifying Fighting Spirit spread out.
At this point, Garou had completely lost his sense of self. However, relying on instinct, he still sensed King's Fighting Spirit. Having fused with Divine Power, King's strength had once again increased significantly.
"Bang, look!"
Bomb, who had just repelled Overgrown Rover, was drawn by the roar and noticed the two figures.
"Is that King? And the other person... could it be Garou?!"
Bang noticed King's arrival, and his heart felt greatly relieved. But when he saw Garou, who was almost unrecognizable, his heart trembled slightly.
"Brother..."
"You can leave the monsters here to me. Go and settle things with your own hands, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Bomb knew his younger brother well. If Bang didn't handle the matter of Garou himself, it would likely become a nightmare for him in the future.
"It's over... Hmm?"
Just as King was about to finish off Garou, Bang arrived on the scene.
"Sorry, King. Could you let me settle this with my own hands?" Bang's eyes were full of apology as he looked with a complex gaze at the now monsterized Garou.
"Very well, I'll leave this to you."
"Thank you."
King didn't say much. The bond between this master and disciple hadn't been severed yet, it was only right for Bang to fight this battle.
"Garou, do you know what Monsterization means?"
Bang stripped off his black bodysuit, revealing his robust muscles.
"I won't let other heroes hunt you down. I will use my own two hands to wake you up.£
"Roar!"
With Garou's roar, the two figures collided.
...
Swish... Swish...
Hundreds of energy orbs poured down from the sky, and the remaining S-Class Heroes joined forces to block them.
Rumble!
Violent explosions rang out, and then everything fell into silence.
At this moment, Genos was left with only a mangled torso, all four limbs destroyed in the explosion. But his mouth still gripped Tatsumaki's clothes tightly, attempting to protect her.
The other S-Class Heroes and the members of the Council of Swordmasters who had come to reinforce them were also nearing their limits, their bodies covered in blood.
"You guys are certainly tenacious." Homeless Emperor picked at his ear, a look of disdain on his face.
"It's no use, everyone is already at their limit." Iaian panted heavily.
The Dragon-level executives were simply too powerful. The S-Class Heroes had all gone through several major battles, their strength long since diminished.
"Don't give up hope!"
Atomic Samurai leaped into the air, slashing out.
"What?!"
Homeless Emperor was startled by the sudden attack and accidentally fell to the ground.
"I'll finish you all off in one go!"
Swish!
Just as the slash was about to land, a sturdy figure appeared, standing directly in front of Homeless Emperor to block the attack.
Golden Sperm, formed from the fusion of 43 trillion cells, appeared, but the right arm he used to block was actually sliced clean off.
"One more time, I'll take you all..."
Pfft!
A jet of water shot forth. Atomic Samurai hastily swung his sword to block, but was still sent flying back.
"Dammit! Is it because it sensed my killing intent?"
Atomic Samurai felt a sense of regret as he saw Evil Natural Water, which had been drawn by his killing intent.
"Roar!"
A roar sounded, and a laser cannon once again blasted all the heroes away.
"Hang in there!"
Atomic Samurai dragged his broken body and staggered to his feet.
"It's over. A new Monster King is about to be born."
Buzz!
Homeless Emperor raised his hand high, and a massive energy orb over fifty meters in diameter condensed.
Thump! Thump...
Just then, a roar resounded through the sky, drawing everyone's gaze.
"King!"
Iaian's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
The Strongest Man on Earth had finally appeared.
"Great, King has arrived!" Child Emperor wept with joy.
Every time, at the most critical moment, this man would step forward.
"He's finally going to make a move! King!"
The dying Genos used every ounce of his strength to lift his head.
Metal Bat, who had just arrived on the battlefield and was ready to act, saw this and chose to stand by and watch.
"Since King has made his move, there's no need to worry. My job is to keep an eye on those pitch-black guys so they don't escape."
