Hero Association's Headquarters!
Rooftop.
"But this spaceship is too big, and it's too far away. We can't even attack it."
After recovering from his surprise, Child Emperor quickly regained his composure.
He looked up at the sky, frowning slightly.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
The next moment, his expression completely changed.
He saw countless weapons extending from the spaceship, frantically gathering energy.
Then!
Countless artillery shells fell from the sky like a meteor shower, carpet-bombing the entire city.
"This is bad."
Child Emperor exclaimed in shock.
"Wind, obey my command."
Ayato said calmly. "In my name, block the artillery."
The moment his voice fell.
A great gale roared.
An invisible barrier enveloped the entire city.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a series of deafening roars.
Countless plumes of smoke appeared in the sky.
But the endless artillery shells could not cross the barrier.
"So this is Ayato-sama's power?"
Seeing this, Child Emperor's eyes widened, and he murmured, "Incredible."
Whoosh!
And just then, a figure fell from the spaceship.
It was a brown-colored monster with many heads.
Its speed was very fast, like a falling meteor, heading straight for the rooftop.
"This alien is mine. Don't fight me for it!"
With a long cry, Esdeath had turned into a white blur, charging straight at the alien.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed.
A visible shockwave spread in all directions.
Child Emperor covered his ears and instinctively stepped back.
The next instant!
Melzargard had retreated dozens of meters, one arm completely frozen, turning into countless ice shards that disappeared.
"I didn't expect there to be a strong one like you on this backwater planet."
Melzargard waved its hand, and the missing arm visibly regenerated.
"A regenerative-type monster?"
Seeing this, a look of excitement appeared in Esdeath's eyes.
"That being the case, it seems you can withstand a lot of killing."
With that, Esdeath charged at the alien again.
"Kill me? Naive native."
Melzargard sneered, one arm turning into a blade.
In an instant!
The figures of Esdeath and Melzargard clashed.
Bang! Boom! Bang!
Sounds like metal striking metal or flesh colliding with flesh began one after another.
Each of Esdeath's attacks contained a powerful chill, easily freezing Melzargard's body.
Melzargard could only barely maintain the situation by relying on its constant regeneration.
"This native... is too strong."
"Alone, I can't defeat this planet."
"But that strange energy blocking the artillery doesn't seem to prevent us from entering the city."
"If so, let the army attack in full force."
Melzargard's several heads chattered, already contacting the ship's command.
Soon!
Countless combatants began piloting small ships, diving towards the city.
"With these numbers..."
Child Emperor's expression focused, his backpack already transformed, ready to attack.
But the next moment.
Figures shot into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if afterimages flickered across the sky, directly piercing through the spaceships.
In the end!
Only brilliant explosions remained in the sky.
The ones who attacked were none other than Ayato's servants.
What... what kind of monsters were these?
Seeing this, all the Heroes who had arrived were horrified.
Especially the S-Class Heroes who were about to attack were completely dumbfounded.
If that was the case...
Why were they here?
To be sidekicks?
Tatsumaki said, "There are too many of these aliens."
"There will probably be stragglers attacking the city."
"Indeed."
Ayato nodded and said, "In my name, I command that no one with malicious intent may enter this city."
A new word magic was silently incorporated into the barrier.
"What's going on?"
"Weren't we told we could enter?"
Several aliens rushed through the blockade, but were blocked by an invisible force, unable to take a single step.
Seeing this.
All the S-Class Heroes' pupils contracted deeply.
They exchanged glances.
All saw the complex expression in the other's eyes.
Ayato's image appeared more and more unfathomable in their eyes.
"Either way, we don't have to just stand around doing nothing, right?"
Atomic Samurai smiled awkwardly and casually sliced those spaceships in half with his sword.
