A profound silence filled the conference room, as everyone's gaze fixed on the note in Sitch's hand.
"Although choked by a lozenge, she still managed to write a line of text with all her might."
He placed the note on the table to project it.
"The 100% certain future is here, this is it."
The content of the note was projected into the eyes of every hero.
Five shaky words were written on the note: "The Earth is doomed."
"What?" Metal Bat abruptly stood up.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Prisoner Sexy-Sexy murmured, "That old woman's prophecies have never been wrong..."
Zombieman lit a cigarette, "It seems like this time, it's real trouble."
King's Emperor Engine rumbled lowly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
"What's this, so boring. I have tutoring, can I go back now?" Child Emperor instantly felt his lollipop lose its flavor. He pointed at himself, attempting to childishly sneak away.
"Child Emperor, everyone knows you're a genius, but if you can't even assess a crisis like this, all I can say is a child is a child."
"What did you say!" Child Emperor shot up from his seat, his small face flushed crimson.
"Listen carefully, Shibabawa's prophecies are 100% accurate, and she has predicted numerous major disasters, many of which claimed countless lives." Sitch pressed his right hand down, looking at everyone.
"However, in all disasters until now, Shibabawa has never used the word 'doomed.' This shows that what is about to happen is even more dangerous than a major disaster or a Dragon-level Monster."
"And it will happen within six months." Sitch was drenched in sweat, his expression terrified.
"I understand, but even if it's six months, we don't know which day," Watchdog Man said expressionlessly.
"Hmm, how do we formulate a countermeasure?" Flashy Flash calmly asked.
"You're right, but please be prepared for a major battle within six months."
"Within six months, maybe it's tomorrow or even today." Just then, the conference room door opened, and Saitama-kun and Genos walked in.
"Exactly, who are you two?" Sitch looked at them with some confusion.
"We were called by Senior Allen to help," Genos explained.
"That's right, I came at the right time," Saitama-kun said with a charming smile.
Just then, the entire conference room suddenly shook violently, and the chandelier on the ceiling swayed uncontrollably.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The entire Hero Association building began to shake.
"This building is under attack?" Genos became alert.
"Impossible, this is the Association Headquarters," Superalloy Darkshine refuted Genos's words.
Outside the Hero Association building, the public looked up in horror at the Monster in the sky.
"Bang!" Another flash of fire exploded on the Association building.
"Quite a sturdy building, isn't it?"
In the sky, a red-faced, white-haired demon wearing a golden crown muttered to himself. Its dark giant wings behind it continuously flapped, each feather gleaming with a chilling light.
"Hahahaha, let's just charge in!" Several smaller, fanged, and sharp-mouthed Monster appeared behind him.
"Hawk, Igor, Falcon, Kate, once the heroes are eliminated, the ground will be ours! Let's seize the ground in one go now, follow Sky King!" Sky King's figure flashed as he swooped down towards the Hero Association building.
"Boss... up there."
"Run!"
"Huh?" Sky King stopped his dive. Hawk, Igor, Falcon, and Kate, the four Monster, fell from his side.
"I, the mighty Sky King, am like a mere insect..." Sky King's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, his eyes bloodshot. Before he could finish speaking, a flash of white light passed, and he was cut in half.
"Who..." As Sky King's body, cut in half, plummeted, a dark figure floated silently above the Hero Association building.
Melzargard stood like a mountain, five heads embedded unevenly on his broad shoulders. On each head, veins like twisted vines crawled, and dark red eye sockets resembled congealed blood-pits, silently staring, as if capable of sucking away the surrounding dim light.
His entire body was a stack of grotesque rock-like muscles, his bat wings spread behind him, and the giant axe formed by his right hand was stained with Sky King's blood, emanating a chilling aura of death.
"What is that?"
"I don't know."
"It flew over, so I killed it."
"I think it's good."
"Mission: Protect the spaceship." Melzargard's five heads spoke incessantly as he stood in the air, looking down at City A below.
Above City A, a massive shadow gradually enveloped the city. A colossal spaceship, blotting out the sun, appeared.
The giant vessel's dark metallic hull was covered in rust and battle scars. On both sides of the ship, eerie purple lightning slowly converged. The city's network below - roads, buildings - appeared as tiny as ant nests before the colossal ship.
Red lights glowed inside the Hero Association building.
"Activating emergency power system," a mechanical female voice announced through the broadcast.
Moments later, the lights in the conference room came back on.
"What happened? What's going on outside?" Sitch roared.
"Unclear, all contact with the outside has been lost." Okamoto tried to make contact but found no signal whatsoever.
The heroes looked around, only to find the conference room door broken open and Allen gone, leaving his note on the table.
[Saitama-kun, you two must evacuate the citizens of City A as quickly as possible to avoid more casualties.]
Tatsumaki's green curly hair whipped violently. She abruptly stood up, "Where did Allen go? That idiot!"
Metal Bat shouldered his bat and grinned, "It seems the Rookie is faster than us."
Bang stroked his beard, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, "That child Allen always rushes to the front."
Above City A, the massive spaceship cast a sky-obscuring shadow. Allen stood atop a tall building, his black hair flying in the strong wind, his eyes fixed on the colossal object.
"I must stop the energy wave from being released," he murmured to himself, his fingers unconsciously clenching.
His communicator suddenly rang. It was Tatsumaki's voice: "Rookie! Where on earth did you run off to? The situation is urgent, hurry back and gather!"
Allen pressed the communication button: "Tatsumaki, listen to me, that spaceship is about to release a destructive energy wave. All residents of City A must be evacuated immediately."
"How do you know all this?" Tatsumaki's voice was full of suspicion.
"No time to explain, trust me!" Allen's voice uncharacteristically carried a hint of urgency.
"Have all heroes act immediately, save as many as you can!"
Silence fell on the other end of the communicator for a moment: "...If you dare to lie to me, I'll throw you from the sky."
"I'll return unharmed." Allen said, then crushed the communicator and sped off towards the spaceship.
