"Black Sperm, I didn't expect you to actually follow Gyoro Gyoro's instructions. If it weren't for you today, I would have finished off all three of them long ago." Homeless Emperor said.
"Hmph! Is that so? Setting aside the strongest man on Earth, King, even the S-Class Rank 2, Tatsumaki, isn't that easy to deal with. Just you? You'd better hide obediently inside the association." Black Sperm mocked Homeless Emperor as they traveled.
"When did you become so cowardly?"
Homeless Emperor didn't back down verbally.
After all, these Dragon-level executives had absolute confidence in their own strength. These words didn't sound like something Black Sperm would say.
Black Sperm explained briefly, "Gyoro Gyoro is indeed annoying, acting all high and mighty all day, but it's barely passable when it comes to planning."
"This declaration of war was a signal deliberately sent to the Hero Association to make them gather all their combat power so we can wipe them out in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if there are any fish that slip through the net and go into hiding, it would be a real headache."
In fact, this method had gained the approval of the other members of the Monster Association.
When the final battle comes, the Hero Association will surely take the initiative and attack the Monster Association's lair. That's the monsters' home turf, the perfect place to bury them all.
"Is Gyoro Gyoro so sure that the Hero Association will deploy all its forces?"
Homeless Emperor nodded slightly but was still somewhat puzzled.
"Gyoro Gyoro is secretly carrying out a plan. If it succeeds, it guarantees the Hero Association will come out in full force."

In M-City, ever since the Monster Association declared war, the city had become increasingly chaotic, with protest groups visible everywhere.
"Why has it been so messy lately?"
"Haven't you heard? It's said the Monster Association has declared war on the Hero Association."
"What? An organization like the Monster Association actually exists?"
"Yeah, that last monster riot was the work of the Monster Association."
"Oh my god, then what about the heroes from the Hero Association? Haven't they always been eliminating monsters?"
"I heard that when the monsters declared war on the Hero Association a few days ago, even with three S-Class Heroes present, the monsters were still allowed to leave calmly."
"That's impossible, those are S-Class Heroes!"
As the two were discussing, they were suddenly attracted by the sound of loudspeakers coming from the street.
"Cowards of the Hero Association, surrender to the great Monster Association quickly, you bunch of trash!"
"That's right, three S-Class Heroes didn't even have the courage to make a move against the monsters. They might as well just commit suicide."
"We absolutely cannot place hope on heroes, they are a bunch of thorough liars. Since the monsters' target is the Hero Association, we should just disband all the heroes."
"No! To satisfy the monsters, I think we should round up all the heroes and let the other side deal with them as they please. That way, they probably won't make things difficult for us."
A group of people stood at the street intersection waving flags and shouting, causing traffic congestion and attracting onlookers from the surrounding citizens.
Crash!
The sound of glass shattering rang out, followed by angry cursing from the direction of a jewelry store.
"Damn it, the world is going to end anyway, and even the heroes aren't doing anything, so I'll do whatever the hell I want!"
"Hero! Where is the hero? Someone is robbing us!"
"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll kill you! Expecting some bullshit hero to help, you deserve to be robbed!" The blonde man sneered.
He aimed the dark muzzle of his gun at the owner and was about to fire when his hand was suddenly gripped tightly.
"Who is it? Are you looking to die too?"
The blonde man was furious.
He looked up and saw a man wearing a black mask looking at him with eyes full of killing intent.
"You... what do you want?"
Seemingly feeling King's chilling killing intent, the blonde man's legs began to tremble involuntarily.
"Trash."
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the blonde man's arm was twisted into a spiral.
"Aaaagh!"
A miserable scream spread around, and many people noticed the situation here.
"What happened?"
"Wait! This guy seems to be a hero, right?"
"Why is he attacking an ordinary person? He's just a bully who only dares to act tough against his own."
The surrounding crowd grew larger, pointing at King and whispering among themselves.
"It really is a bit much, to use such heavy hands."
The jewelry store owner who had just been robbed not only failed to thank King but instead stood on the side of the other citizens, a hint of disgust showing in his eyes.
"Hahaha, see that! This is the hero you look forward to! When they meet the monsters, they can only run away with their tails between their legs, but they're quick to harm their own compatriots!"
"Well said, this kind of trash should just become monster fodder!"
"If it weren't for their resistance, the Monster Association wouldn't be so angry, and we wouldn't even be involved!"
The speaker was the same person who had been protesting and making speeches at the intersection earlier. Seeing King's actions, he immediately began to make a big deal out of it.
"Heroes! Get out of our city!"
"Yeah, get out!"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
The onlookers were incited, and a wave of insults broke out, with many even throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.
"What a bunch of fools." A look of disdain appeared on King's face.
The guardians of humanity had now become rats crossing the street that everyone wanted to hit. This was probably just human nature.
"I know you are afraid, that you feel terror. But please do not give up hope. The monsters' goal has never been just the Hero Association, they want to exterminate all of humanity. Even if you manage to survive by chance, you won't escape the fate of becoming slaves."
"And the heroes are fighting bloody battles for the future of all humanity. Ask yourselves, which of you has not been saved by a hero?"
King's voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone present. His sharp gaze scanned the crowd.
The crowd fell silent. Many people subconsciously avoided King's gaze and silently lowered their heads.
"Hahaha! You talk a good game, but what about those three S-Class Heroes letting the monsters go? Isn't it because they're too useless?"
"Right! The strength of the monsters is something we cannot resist! The only way out is to submit!"
"Don't listen to this person's deceptive words! When you get caught up in the monsters' wrath, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Several men showed expressions of disdain and continued to delude the crowd.
"Not trusting your own heroes, but instead begging for mercy from brutal monsters... is such a stupid idea really something a carbon-based lifeform could come up with?"
King shook his head helplessly.
In an instant, countless silver needles manifested in his hand and shot out.
Puff... Puff...
The bodies of the dozen or so people who had just been deluding the citizens were all pierced through, and they fell straight to the ground.
"Please believe that no matter when, the Hero Association will do its utmost to protect you."
"But if anyone dares to defect to the Monster Association or delude people's hearts, then let me clean house. I don't mind dealing with some trash before I kill the monsters."
