Chapter 158 - Taking the Initiative

"So, why are you calling us here in such a hurry? Didn't the battle just end? I'm busy helping my sister review her schoolwork, so you better have something important." Metal Bat was very annoyed.

He had finally finished fighting and had time to be a good big brother at home, only to be urgently summoned by the Hero Association again.

"Shut up, Pompadour. This matter is very important." Tatsumaki said impatiently.

After feeling that power from God that far exceeded humanity's, she agreed with King's decision.

"Brat, are you looking for a beating?"

"Say that again, and I'll throw you out."

"Alright, stop arguing. It's said that this meeting is very important. Metal Bat, you can't provoke Tornado, you'll be killed."

Ever since Neo Heroes was toppled, Superalloy Darkshine had returned to the Hero Association. Seeing the two of them arguing incessantly, he hurriedly tried to mediate.

"It seems to be about God again. It looks like something big is going to happen this time." Zombieman had a cigarette in his mouth, his expression very serious.

"God... is that the guy who gave Empty Void his power? I wonder if Blast has found him yet."

Flashy Flash recalled the situation where he fought alongside Blast. After that battle, Sonic was also invited by Sitch to join the Hero Association, with his past misdeeds being overlooked.

"Hmph! You should have just let me finish off Empty Void back then. But if God dares to come, that guy will definitely show up again, and we can just take them both out."

"The Hero Association really is making a fuss over nothing. For such a small matter, if you just paid me a reward, I could handle it perfectly myself."

Sonic smoothed his hair, looking full of confidence, but no one paid any attention to his narcissism.

"Bang, I didn't expect the Association to call even you in this time." Atomic Samurai looked at the retired Bang beside him with a teasing expression.

"There's no other way. Since it concerns all of humanity, I cannot just stand by and watch. Besides, my good-for-nothing disciple seems to have been taken away, and his fate is unknown." Bang's expression was calm.

Before the battle with God, he and Mumen Rider had been teleported to the Hero Association headquarters by King. As for Garou's disappearance, he felt powerless and could only pin his hopes on King and Blast.

"Don't worry, King will definitely have a way."

Child Emperor licked his lollipop.

Ever since Bofoi returned, he had been in a very good mood.

"Seeing Child Emperor-kun growing up healthy puts my mind at ease, but there are so many more boys in the world who need my protection. I absolutely cannot let God destroy these cute boys."

Puri-Puri Prisoner clenched his fists tightly and silently made a vow in his heart.

Clatter!

The conference room door opened, and Sitch walked in first, followed by King and Genos.

"Everyone, except for Metal Knight and Tanktop Master, who are still helping major cities complete their reconstruction, everyone else has basically arrived."

Sitch walked to the center, his expression exceptionally serious.

"That's not right, isn't Blast not here yet? It's such an urgent meeting, is he still unwilling to show his face?"

"Come to think of it, I've been in the Association for so many years and haven't seen him more than a few times."

"I did have the honor of seeing him during the crusade against the Monster Association."

The S-Class Heroes began to discuss, but Sitch's next words immediately silenced the entire room.

"I have some bad news to share: Blast has gone missing. He had been fighting God in another dimension all this time, which is why Earth has been safe for so many years."

"But according to intelligence from King, God is attacking Earth's dimensional barrier and could descend at any moment."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

During the crusade against the Monster Association, they had only encountered God's agents. In such a short time, God was actually going to descend in person?

"As I thought, that terrifying power from a while ago was God, right? But it disappeared later, could it have been related to Blast?" Zombieman looked as if it were a matter of course.

"No. That was when King banished God to another dimension, which gave us time to catch our breath." Sitch's expression was extremely serious.

The heroes all looked toward King.

"Pretty capable."

"King truly lives up to being the strongest man on Earth."

"Since it has already been resolved, what is the situation now?"

Metal Bat knew that the current situation allowed for no joking, he had felt God's power before.

"Let me explain. There is actually more than one God. The God that has always been attempting to destroy humanity is in another dimension on the far side of the moon. The God I banished a while ago claimed to be from the 18th Galactic System."

King was concise, but the amount of information was overwhelming.

"More than one? There are actually two such powerful guys? This is going to be troublesome." Atomic Samurai was shocked.

Of course, the fact that King could fight against God raised his internal assessment of him to a higher level.

"But since King can banish God, wouldn't it be fine to just drive it away again this time?"

Child Emperor asked with a naive expression.

He believed that as long as King was there, any enemy was not worth mentioning.

"Not to mention that the difficulty of banishing God is very high, even if we temporarily exile it, given God's strength, it will return sooner or later, so the only way now is to take the initiative and finish it off." King's words were shocking.

The many S-Class Heroes fell silent. They had all seen the strength of God's agents. How powerful must the God who could bestow this power be? Was that really something humanity could contend with?

"Hahaha! King, I'm starting to like you. Remember to take me with you when the time comes. You can just provide support from the sidelines." Sonic laughed.

"Shut up, idiot." Flashy Flash rolled his eyes at him.

Just thinking about Empty Void's Dimension Slash should be enough to know that God is simply not an existence they can contend with.

"Fine, then that's settled. You bunch of cowards stay here to guard the home base, and King and I will go take care of that so-called God." Tatsumaki had an arrogant look on her face, looking at the other heroes with disdain.

"What did you say? You want me to serve as your logistics support? Whatever God it is, wouldn't it be fine if I just smacked it flying with one swing of my bat?" Metal Bat said with dissatisfaction.

Sitch looked at the arguing S-Class Heroes with some helplessness.

Thump-thump!

The roaring sound started, and a terrifying aura burst forth from King's body.

"Leave the matter of fighting God to me alone. I will personally bring Garou back as well. What you need to do is prepare for God's agents who may descend at any moment."

"If anyone still has any objections, they'll have to get past me first."
