"Damn it, there are just too many of them!"
Stinger panted heavily.
He didn't even know how many enemies he had slain, among which were many Demon-level monsters.
"This won't do, I can't hold on much longer. Thankfully, the residents in the apartments have already evacuated."
Stinger looked at the heroes still fighting bitterly around him, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
"My final mission is to exterminate as many monsters as possible. As long as the S-Class Heroes are still here, there is still a chance for the Hero Association to be rebuilt."
Gigantic Drill Stinger!
Pfft... Pfft...
Stinger used his last ounce of strength to kill dozens more monsters. At this moment, he was at the end of his rope and could only watch as the monsters behind him lunged forward.
"It seems this is the end of the line for me. I'll leave the future of the Hero Association to you all."
A smile appeared on the corner of Stinger's lips as he calmly prepared to accept the arrival of death.
"Wanting to die now, isn't that a bit too early?"
Heavy Flash Slash!
Swish!
A light streaked across, instantly wiping out the monsters in front of him.
"You are..."
Stinger's pupils constricted slightly as he gazed excitedly at the blonde man in the cape before him.
"S-Class Rank 13 Hero, Flashy Flash!"
"Good grief, you can't even watch over a house properly. I don't know how you passed the hero test."
"Hurry up and rescue the wounded, I'm going to go clear out the small fry outside now."
Flashy Flash had an aloof expression as he flashed away to slaughter his way outside the base.
—
"Looks like I didn't arrive too late. Apprentices, get to work."
Outside the Hero Association, Atomic Samurai and his three A-Class apprentices also began to slaughter the monsters. Even powerful Demon-level monsters were no match for them in a single exchange.
Bang... Bang...
A series of gunshots blasted away several monsters trying to approach Genos.
Zombieman walked out calmly. "You've worked hard to hold on until now. I'll take you out of here now."
Zombieman picked up Genos, fighting and retreating, slaughtering his way toward the outside.
"Ahhh! Help! There are monsters!"
Cries for help sounded one after another, but this time, it wasn't humans calling for help, but a group of fleeing monsters.
Behind them, Pig God's massive body gave relentless chase, eating as he went, relying on his super-strong defense to fear no attacks.
"Jess-san! The S-Class Hero reinforcements have arrived and are clearing out the invading monsters!"
A single sentence from Maria instantly ignited the hope of everyone present.
On the live broadcast, several S-Class Heroes were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, frantically slaughtering the monsters.
"Great! They made it in time!" Jess was extremely excited.
With so many S-Class Heroes present, this crisis could basically be declared resolved.
"Don't get cocky too early, there are still those four big guys."
Sitch's brow unfurled, but he didn't relax, because there were still four massive figures circling above the Hero Association.
"That's right, there are still four Dragon-level monsters. Immediately report the situation on the scene to the S-Class Heroes and tell them not to be careless." Jess realized.
The strength of Dragon-level monsters was extraordinary, and even S-Class Heroes couldn't guarantee victory.
...
Above the Hero Association Headquarters, Dark King was preparing to enter the base through a breach when a stream of light shot toward him.
Wind Blade Kick!
Boom!
Dark King was sent flying.
Looking closely, the newcomer was none other than Flashy Flash.
"An S-Class Hero? Someone who can actually fight has arrived. I hope you can last a little longer than that robot from before."
Claws of Hundred Deaths!
Swish... Swish...
Countless bright red claws attacked.
Flashy Flash remained expressionless, his figure moving like a phantom.
Flash Kick!
Boom! Boom...
Shattering all the attacks, Flashy Flash arrived in front of Dark King, and countless punches rained down like a blanket.
Flash Fist!
Instant Teleportation!
Swish!
Dark King instantly vanished from his spot, dodging all the attacks.
"Hmph. You run pretty fast. Whatever, I'll just take you all out together." Flashy Flash snorted coldly.
He stood on top of the base, looking at the four Dragon-level monsters before him, preparing to unleash his ultimate technique.
Thump! Thump...
At this moment, a deafening sound resounded across the sky, and all the heroes and monsters temporarily stopped attacking.
—
"What is this?!"
In the operations room, Jess looked at the figure on the screen, his inner excitement indescribable.
"King has arrived!"
...
'I was only gone for a short while, and it's already turned into such a mess. Neo actually created so many monsters, that's quite an achievement.'
King looked at A-City, which had almost become ruins once again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Neo's actions to be so swift, this time they had even gathered four Dragon-level monsters. A force of this scale was almost comparable to the original Monster Association.
"Master, look! It's King!" Iaian shouted excitedly.
"Oh! King has arrived too. Then it seems the battle will be over soon." Atomic Samurai smiled.
Since King had appeared, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
"Glad you finally decided to show up. I was only gone for a few days, and the base was almost taken out." Flashy Flash's words sounded.
King curled his lip and said nothing.
At this moment, the four Dragon-level monsters had long noticed King's arrival. The terrifying aura released from his body made them afraid to act rashly.
"S-Class hero King? He certainly lives up to his reputation." Dark King flew in the air, his eyes revealing brutal killing intent.
"He isn't simple, he must be treated as a priority target." Pluton's voice rang out.
He knew that if they couldn't eliminate King first, they probably wouldn't be able to continue attacking the Hero Association.
"Hahaha! Let me see what this so-called strongest man on Earth is really capable of."
Crimson Flow!
Terrifying power condensed on Dark King's palm, locking onto King's heart.
Hum!
Massive psychic power spread out, shrouding the entire battlefield.
"Hm? What's going on? I can't move my body!"
Dark King discovered in horror that his body seemed to be firmly imprisoned, unable to move in the slightest.
'Psychokinesis? Such a range...'
Flashy Flash was inwardly astonished. He hadn't expected King to have such an ability, and judging by the power, it didn't seem to be inferior to Tatsumaki's.
Rumble!
Thunder rang out in the sky, and countless dark clouds gathered above A-City.
"What is King going to do?"
At this moment, whether at the Hero Association or the Neo headquarters, everyone was holding their breath, watching the footage of the battlefield.
"Since you've come, then stay here forever."
Dark Thunder Strike!
