"Hawk, Eagel! Keep harassing him! Even if we have to wear him out, we must kill this damned human!"
With crimson skin and two pairs of wings gently fluttering behind his back, the Sky King gazed down at King below with eyes full of hatred.
Demon-level Monster, Sky King!
King was poised and ready. He had just been about to step into A-City when he was ambushed by this group of the Sky Folk.
Unfortunately, before the others could even react, King had already instantly slaughtered several of their kin, which ignited the Sky King's rage.
Their target was the Hero Association headquarters in A-City. He had not expected that they would be unable to deal with even a single human.
After a short exchange, the Sky King was shocked to discover that both in speed and strength, the human before him was superior to them.
He was not even confident in facing King head-on, so he utilized his aerial advantage to continuously harass him.
'Now is the time!' A sharp glint flashed in King's eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment two Skyfolk swooped down, he deliberately exposed a weakness, and his shoulder was instantly left bloodied by the monsters' sharp claws.
Then, he exerted force with his legs, shot into the sky, punched one of the Skyfolk until they exploded, and used the momentum to leap onto another one.
Pfft!
King's hand stabbed into the back of the Skyfolk. The intense pain caused the Skyfolk to struggle wildly, flapping its wings and flying toward the sky in an attempt to make King fall to his death.
"Damn it, don't bring him over here!"
The Sky King looked at his crazed kin, who was being controlled by King and heading straight for him, his eyes dark and sinister.
Bitter Gale!
The Sky King flapped his wings frantically, and countless wind blades formed a terrifying net that enveloped them.
Seeing this, King pierced straight through the body of the Skyfolk, ending its life. He then used the corpse of the Skyfolk to gain momentum, his figure shooting toward the Sky King, with countless wind blades coming to meet him.
"Weak human, go to hell!"
A look of madness appeared in the Sky King's eyes. Under such an assault, it was impossible for that human to survive.
Pfft... Pfft...
Countless wind blades continuously sliced into King's body. Large amounts of blood sprayed out, and he soon became a bloodied figure, but the distance between the two continued to close.
"Hahaha! I will hang your corpse at the Hero Association headquarters and let other humans see the fate of those who defy the Skyfolk!"
Snap!
At this moment, King, who should have lost all signs of life, suddenly raised his head, one hand firmly gripping the Sky King's sharp claw.
"What?!"
Savage Tornado!
Boom... Boom...
Countless punches rained down, and a terrifying tornado shot into the sky, engulfing all the Skyfolk.
As time passed, the figures of the Skyfolk were continuously turned into blood mist, falling toward the ground.

"Whew! Finally dealt with them." King panted heavily.
His aerial capability was currently a huge weakness. Even if his strength was superior to the opponent's, it was difficult to gain an advantage.
After finding a nearby river to wash up, King was just about to continue his journey toward A-City when a massive shadow suddenly covered the sky.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Pfft!
A sharp blade slashed across the horizon. King's voice came to an abrupt end, and his body was split in two, falling straight to the ground.
"Target eliminated. Continue advancing toward the city."
A brown-skinned monster flew in the sky. One could see that five heads were growing on his neck. With a flap of his wings, he returned to the spaceship above.
The massive spaceship blotted out the sky, completely blocking the sun's rays as it sped toward A-City.
A moment later, the corpse, which should have been dead, slowly began to wiggle. The body, which had been cut in half, began to fuse together, slowly restoring itself to its original state.
"That guy just now definitely had Dragon-level strength."
King hadn't even had a shred of power to resist, he had been cut in two instantly. If it weren't for Undying Body, he would probably be completely dead by now.
"The Dominator of the Universe Boros? Interesting." A strange glint flashed in King's eyes.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
'System, activate the random Talent Trial Card.'
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the S-Class Rank 2 Hero, Tatsumaki's Talent Trial Card.]

'Good. I'd like to see just how strong this so-called God-level threat really is.'
King's eyes lit up as he looked at the randomly generated Talent Trial Card. This card was practically tailor-made for him.
There was no questioning the combat power of the S-Class Rank 2 Hero, Tatsumaki. Rven Dragon-level Monsters could not escape the fate of being instantly killed before her.
'System, use this Talent Trial Card.'
[Ding! Talent Trial Card activated. Duration: 1 hour.]
Hum!
An extremely powerful ripple burst forth from King's body, and everything around him seemed to be within his grasp.
'I wonder how big the gap is between me and Boros is now.'
King's body emitted a blue light. With a slight movement of his mind, his body rose into the air and streaked toward A-City at high speed.
Rumble!
Just as King entered the perimeter of A-City, a dazzling white light spread out from the city center, and a shockwave destroyed all the surrounding high-rise buildings.
"Damn it, they started so soon!"
After the white light faded, King looked at A-City, which had been reduced to ruins, and a surge of anger rose in his chest.
A-City had been destroyed, leaving only the Hero Association headquarters building standing in the center of the city, because the headquarters building was built by Metal Knight using special materials.
However, the commotion outside had already alerted the S-Class Heroes inside the association. King knew he didn't have much time. Once Saitama made a move, he would have no chance.
Whoosh!
King turned into a blue streak of light and headed toward the spaceship hovering in the sky. At this moment, a familiar figure blocked his path again.
'Boros's subordinate, Dragon-level Monster, Melzargard.'
A cold glint flashed in King's eyes. He had just been cut in two by this monster a moment ago.
"Duty, protect, spaceship."
Melzargard's palm transformed into a sharp blade, attempting to cut King in two once again.
Ting!
But this time, the attack was firmly blocked by a blue shield, and King threw a punch with a calm expression.
Boom!
A shockwave blew Melzargard away. His body became riddled with holes, and he fell straight toward the ground.
"Strange, it seems like something fell down."
Just as King was preparing to deliver a fatal blow, a human voice suddenly came from the ground.
"Forget it, leave it to the other S-Class Heroes. Taking care of business is more important."
King looked up at the massive spaceship, he could feel an extremely massive energy within it.
[Ding! Mission triggered: Kill the God-level threat Boros and three Dragon-level executives.]
