"Damn the Hero Association! Didn't they say this was the safest place?"
"And Metal Knight! We spent so much money on the defense system he built, yet it's completely useless?"
"It feels like this place is about to collapse! Let me out!"
The interior of the Hero Association was in chaos. Everyone residing here was a billionaire, and at this moment, all they wanted was to leave as quickly as possible.
"Please remain calm, everyone. We have already summoned S-Class Heroes to provide support. Please trust in the base's defense system."
Sitch's voice came through the broadcast system, but these pampered billionaires were not buying it.
"Cut the crap! I saw it myself. Many of the robots built by Metal Knight didn't even resist, they were destroyed immediately by the enemy!"
"Exactly! By the time the S-Class Heroes arrive to support us, we'll already be food in the stomachs of the monsters!"
"Let us out immediately! I don't want to be buried here with the Hero Association!"
"Right! Open the defensive shield immediately, or we will collectively withdraw our funding!"
The crowd was agitated, unanimously demanding that the defensive shield be opened immediately.
However, Sitch knew that as soon as the defensive barrier was turned off, the Hero Association base would instantly fall, and at that point, everyone would meet their end.
"Sigh... Now, we can only hope that Genos can hold out for a little longer." Sitch felt quite helpless.
The more they faced such a desperate situation, the more he had to remain calm and believe in the heroes.
Rumble...
Intense explosions echoed continuously throughout A-City.
Genos's slightly battered body appeared on the street.
There are four Dragon-level threats, and the rest are Demon-level.
Dragon-level Monster, Forest King!
Dragon-level Monster, Kenzan Rat!
Dragon-level Monster, Dark King!
Dragon-level Monster, Pluton!
The four Dragon-level threats were massive in size, with a stark difference compared to Genos's stature.
'The monsters' goal is very clear: it is the Hero Association headquarters. And of all times, Saitama-sensei had to go to a sale.'
'The other S-Class Heroes are not here, and the A-Class Heroes are simply unable to contend with Dragon-level ones. In that case, I have only...'
Genos's eyes were sharp, and the mechanical devices on his body shifted once again.
"Activate, Maximum Firepower Gear! It drastically increases attack power, but it only lasts for ten minutes."
Genos looked toward the Dragon-level threats that were constantly attacking the Hero Association's shield. With the help of his flame boosters, he sped into the air.
Hyper Spiral Incineration Cannon!
Boom...
Super-high temperature flames erupted, igniting the Forest King's body.
Vine Entanglement!
Forest King was enraged, and countless vines swarmed toward Genos.
Machine Gun Blow!
Bang, bang, bang...
Genos went full power, and countless punches shattered all the incoming vines. At this moment, Forest King couldn't even bother to continue attacking. He was busy trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
'I must deal with him first, he's causing the most damage to the shield.'
Genos's gaze turned to the trident-wielding Pluton. Every one of his attacks caused the defensive shield to totter.
True Spiral Incineration Cannon!
Rumble...
A powerful stream of flames shot out.
Pluton swung his trident, shattering the flames with a single strike.
'This won't do. I must lure them away from the Hero Association headquarters.'
Genos knew the Hero Association's shield wouldn't last much longer, so he charged toward Pluton.
Jet Drive Arrow!
Boom!
The machinery on Genos's legs deployed, and with the boost of flames, he kicked Pluton's massive body.
"Full Firepower! Aaaaaah!"
Genos roared, erupting with immense power, blasting Pluton's body back several dozen meters.
...
"Great! Genos succeeded!"
Inside the Hero Association headquarters command room, Maria watched Genos repel the monster and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"It's not over yet." Jess, however, looked grave.
He noticed that Pluton hadn't sustained any substantial damage, and furthermore, Genos was currently one against four, the odds of winning were extremely low.
Pluton swung his trident, smashing down with terrifying force, but fortunately, Genos reacted quickly and dodged the blow in time.
Boom!
But the terrifying shockwave destroyed most of the roads in A-City. This scene shocked Genos as well.
'Does he have such powerful strength just by swinging his weapon? If I get hit by even one blow, that would be bad.'
Just as Genos prepared to continue his attack, a shadow loomed over him from behind.
Claws of Death!
Dual Blade Rush!
A sharp blade sliced through the air, blocked in time by Genos, but the immense force sent him flying.
"S-Class Hero, slaughtering you will surely be wonderful."
A bat-like monster with massive wings on his back was licking his lips, looking at Genos with cruel eyes.
Dragon-level Monster, Dark King!
Genos's figure shot up from the ruins, and countless bolts of lightning surged within his palms.
High Voltage Fist!
Boom, boom, boom...
Countless punches accompanied by lightning blasted out, while Dark King met the attack unhurriedly.
Claws of Death!
Boom, boom, boom...
The clash between the two sides caused intense battle shockwaves, which continued to spread outward.
"Squeak..."
At this moment, the last Dragon-level Monster, Kenzan Rat, crawled onto the Hero Association's shield and began gnawing on it with its sharp incisors.
"Oh no, Jess-san, the shield is about to shatter!"
Jess watched the defense value of the base's shield dropping rapidly, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
At this time, Genos was locked in a fierce battle with Dark King, and Pluton was charging toward the base again. The remaining heroes were simply powerless to counter the Demon-level monsters, and for a moment, the casualties were heavy.
Piercing Lightning Cannon!
Just then, a shockwave like a golden lightning dragon shot straight into the sky, blasting Kenzan Rat away.
"While fighting me, you actually dare to pay attention to other places? Aren't you looking down on me too much?"
Fatal Claw!
Pfft...
A bright red claw pierced through Genos's body, and a cruel smile appeared on Dark King's lips.
'No, if this continues, I will never be able to keep up with sensei's pace.'
Lightning Core!
Boom!
An extremely massive surge of electricity erupted from within Genos's body, and Dark King was instantly pierced through by the current.
"Aaaaaah!"
Caught off guard, Dark King let out a scream, and his body fell toward the ground.
Rocket Stomp!
Genos was agile, his entire body carrying immense power as he stomped fiercely toward the Dark King.
But at this moment, a massive gust of wind struck, and a trident shattered Genos's mechanical body.
Bang!
Genos's battered body collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it, just a little bit more..."
A look of unwillingness appeared in Genos's eyes. Now, the Hero Association headquarters was nakedly exposed before the four Dragon-level monsters.
'If Saitama-sensei were here, he could easily take care of them. Or if it were King, he would definitely deal with these monsters without any effort.'
In Genos's mind, the scene of King suppressing four Dragon-level monsters single-handedly during the Monster Association war appeared.
"Damn it!!! I am still too weak."
