"How did you come here?" Genos asked curiously.
He had previously seen King rush out of A-City, seemingly to handle something important. He had not expected him to return now.
"I know everything now. I came back this time to deal with the mastermind."
King glanced at Child Emperor, who immediately shuddered, as if realizing something.
"Genos, are you aware of the massive energy detection outside Z-City?"
"Outside Z-City?"
Genos found King's words strange, but then suddenly thought of something.
"Oh no! Dr. Kuseno!"
"Don't worry, I have already moved Dr. Kuseno to a safe place. Now, I am going to take you to find the mastermind behind all of this." King's expression was serious.
In reality, he could easily deal with the mastermind himself, but he had to bring Genos along this time to help him resolve his inner conflict.
"Why must you bring me? Could it be..."
Genos seemed to realize something.
Given King's strength, he likely had no equal on Earth besides Saitama. Yet, he had insisted on bringing him this time. The only explanation was that this mastermind had an inseparable connection to him.
"Let's go. Child Emperor, I'll leave the Hero Association to you."
Swoosh!
King took Genos and disappeared into the distance. As for Child Emperor, King was not worried at all.
Not to mention that Saitama was in A-City, Child Emperor was an S-Class Hero. Even if he had lost Brave Giant, he still had many other combat methods. Moreover, he was quite knowledgeable about machines, so dealing with a robot army would be a piece of cake for him.

"The approximate location is right here."
After half a day of travel, King brought Genos to a desolate, uninhabited place.
"King, is the reason you brought me here because..."
Genos's expression was calm, he seemed mentally prepared.
"The cyborg that slaughtered your village and killed your parents was the work of this mastermind." King spoke bluntly, this was something Genos had to face.
"Thank you, King. If possible, let me resolve this matter myself." A determined look appeared in Genos's eyes. He had spared no cost to become stronger, all for this very day.
"Of course, that is also why I brought you here. However, the truth might not be exactly as you think."
King had already sensed the location of the Divine Power. With a wave of his hand, the ground split open.
Rumble!
Countless rocks into the air as a massive underground base was pulled to the surface.
"Nice to meet you. Metal Knight, Dr. Bofoi."
King stared coldly at the man on the ground.
He was the sixth-ranked S-Class Hero, Metal Knight.
The Battle Suit, the Organization, and the robot army invasion were all related to him—a man once called a hero by humanity.
"Metal Knight, was it you who sent out that cyborg?"
Swoosh!
Blades emerged from Genos's arms. He had spent countless days and nights looking forward to this moment.
"Hahaha! Don't think that just because you found me, you've won! God will punish you all!" Bofoi laughed maniacally.
"Poor man."
Genos was just about to make a move when he heard King's words.
"King, what do you mean?"
"Actually, he is just a tool controlled by someone else." King shook his head slightly.
When Gods chose an agent, they mostly selected those with such extreme personalities. Bofoi was clearly that type, his fanatical pursuit of technological power had caused him to lose sight of his original intentions.
"Controlled?"
"Hahaha! You weak humans who oppose the gods, you are all going to die!"
Rumble!
The entire underground base instantly disassembled, enveloping Bofoi and reassembling itself.
"What is this?!"
Genos looked on in shock at the newly emerged giant robot, with its massive fifty-meter stature and various weapons on its mechanical body.
"The entire base is a single machine? What an amazing design."
King was also somewhat surprised, and could not help but marvel at Bofoi's attainments in technology.
"A robot bestowed with Divine Power, just like the other machines of the Organization."
The aura emitted by the giant robot reminded King of the three Machine Gods that had attacked Dr. Kuseno.
God's Giant!
"Die, you pathetic ants!"
Bofoi's maniacal voice rang out, and God's Giant's massive fist slammed down.
"Hmm?"
Just as King was about to strike, he discovered that Genos had blocked the attack of God's Giant with all his might.
"King, let me handle this."
King looked at Genos's serious expression and did not refuse. "Fine, but this is not exactly a fair fight."
King tapped his finger lightly in the air, and a massive amount of energy flowed into the Battle Suit on Genos's body.
"What is this power?!"
"It's better now, his Divine Power can no longer suppress you." King smiled slightly.
Although Genos could not handle Union Power, the Battle Suit could do so without issues.
"Foolish human!"
God's Ray!
Boom!
A laser erupted from the chest of God's Giant, containing vast Divine Power.
Union Power: Super Spiral Incineration Cannon!
Rumble!
After being empowered by the Union Power, Genos's confidence soared, and he fired a pillar of fire containing Union Power in a direct counter-attack.
The two forces collided instantly. God's Giant's ray was suppressed, and after a few seconds, it dissipated.
"How is this possible? How could you possess such power!"
A huge hole was pierced through the massive body of God's Giant. Genos pressed his advantage.
Jet Arrow Drive!
Boom!
Propelled by flames, Genos kicked the body of God's Giant.
"Damn it, don't get too cocky!"
50 Billion Volt Shock!
Sizzle!
An electric current erupted from the body of God's Giant, enveloping Genos.
"I will not fall again! Lightning Core, absorb!"
A suction force emerged, and the electric current was absorbed by Genos. However, most of the credit went to the Battle Suit, which not only absorbed the current but also converted it into powerful energy.
"I will shatter all darkness!"
Dragon Core, activate! Union Power! Ultimate Current Cannon!
Rumble!
The electric current formed a dragon, roaring as it pierced through the core of God's Giant. The giant robot began to disintegrate, and Bofoi's figure tumbled out of the cockpit.
Swoosh!
Genos's figure was fast as lightning, he immediately caught him.
"Weak human, I will take back your power."
"Cough, cough! Who are you?"
Bofoi knelt before King and Genos. At this moment, the scene before his eyes changed, and a giant one hundred meters tall appeared before him.
"God?!"
