In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 463 The Strongest Man on Earth

As for Shimizu himself, the material of this Black Warrior armor has been modified to absorb and weaken the specific frequency of the white shock bomb, and it can also withstand the strong light of this specific wavelength, so it can be basically immune to the effects of the white shock bomb.

For the giant's younger brother, such a massive target, the White Shock Bomb was not a pleasant experience either.

At least he had covered his ears tightly with his hands, abandoning his attempt to protect his scientist brother.

The latter could no longer stand, clutching his head, kneeling on the ground, his eyes almost bulging out, letting out a hysterical scream.

A pool of yellow liquid quietly seeped out from the jeans under the white coat.

He had suffered muscle spasms to the point of incontinence.

Just then, a bright blue Krakan chain flew out from Qing Shui's palm and bound the genius brother on the giant's younger brother's shoulder.

If they could capture him, it would also make the giant's brother hesitate to act rashly.

Unfortunately, the giant brother was ultimately a high-level Dragon-class monster. Although his massive body absorbed most of the damage from the shock bomb, his muscles and eyes adapted quickly. He turned around rapidly, reaching out one hand to his shoulder to protect his genius brother, while his other hand struck Shimizu like a mountain crashing down.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is much closer than before. Although the giant brother is huge, he is quite agile. Even with the First Generation Ark Reactor running at full capacity and the Wind Release Chakra Mode, he might not be able to dodge it.

Fortunately, Shimizu had taken precautions before flying over.

Another chain, glowing blue, appeared.

This time, however, the chains were physical, and they were tied in a knot on the giant's brother's shoulders, arms, and hands.

This is another magical artifact prepared by Shimizu. It is a deep blue chain created by imitating the Web of Royaldes from the Marvel universe. It has the functions of absorbing energy, optical invisibility, paralyzing enemies with electric discharge, and extending the chain by consuming the energy stored in the artifact itself through magic.

"Annoying bugs!"

The giant brother's muscles swelled and strained again, making the strong, dark blue chains creak and groan. At the same time, his huge mouth opened, and he puffed out his chest and frantically inhaled.

A swirling gust of wind surged, pulling at the clear water that was flying in mid-air.

However, Shimizu is also an expert in manipulating wind. Although the amount of chakra in his shadow clones is limited, releasing two or three large-scale wind-style techniques is not a problem.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Multi-Wave!"

One after another, highly penetrating, high-density, straight wind blades appeared in less than a second, cutting through the airflow path leading to the giant and creating a vacuum, greatly increasing the intensity of the vortex airflow.

The giant brother felt the air in his mouth decreasing rapidly, so he stopped inhaling, puffed out his cheeks, and blew air towards the water.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Two strong winds clashed against each other, creating turbulent air currents that resembled a typhoon.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the giant brother broke the dark blue chains binding him, leaped up, and charged towards Shimizu.

Shimizu hurriedly used the opposing airflow to create distance, and his Black Warrior armor fired freezing bombs backwards without restraint.

This thing is very useful when dealing with large targets, as evidenced by the Tailed Beasts encountered on the battlefield, as well as large summoning beasts such as Shinja, Manda, and Gamabunta.

Unfortunately, the tailed beasts are no match for such terrifying beings at the Dragon-level or higher. If it were Naruto Uzumaki in Sage Mode or Madara Uchiha in his prime controlling the Nine-Tails in its armor, they might have a chance to fight.

The freezing bomb was far less effective at this moment than it had been when dealing with the tailed beasts.

Fortunately, it had some effect, slowing down the giant brother's speed a little.

But now, Shimizu doesn't have many cards left to play.

He was only able to hold out against the giant brother for a while by playing a game of intelligence with the cards he had in his hand. If it really came down to a head-on confrontation, he and the giant brother, a monster of the Dragon level or higher, wouldn't last more than a few moves.

"Why hasn't Saitama arrived yet? Is it because King hasn't encountered any danger, so he hasn't shown up yet?"

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Shimizu frowned.

Well, he's already dragged this out for quite a while, which is more than enough to justify the salary and resources the Hero Association has given him.

In such a long time, those who should have taken refuge in the shelters have already done so. The shelters can't withstand the destruction of a Dragon-level monster, but at least they can withstand the aftershocks and have already saved many lives.

After managing to stall for two more moves, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his giant brother, Shimizu no longer hesitated. He formed a hand seal, released the shadow clone, and summoned back to the Black Warrior Armor.

In a certain urban area of ​​City B, next to the ruins.

The Emperor's engine roared.

All the citizens had fled. A man with a scar on his face was squatting on the toilet, looking at the call from the association on his phone. He hesitated to answer it, nor did he get up to run away.

It wasn't because there was no paper, but because...

After sitting for a long time, my legs went numb and I couldn't get up for a while.

Meanwhile, in a supermarket that was holding a massive sale that day, a bald man was standing in front of the checkout counter, looking for change in his wallet.

"Oh, everyone's gone."

Saitama looked at the empty shopping mall in front of him, then at the vast urban area behind him that had suddenly turned into ruins, and raised his head in confusion.

So, shortly after Shimizu dispelled his shadow clones and resurrected the Black Warrior.

The giant, as tall as a mountain, collapsed with a crash.

Having just recovered and wiped his bottom, King stepped out of the toilet when he was suddenly knocked down by the shockwave from the falling giant, getting covered in dust and splattered with blood.

As King stood up from the ground, clutching his backside, an eyeball rolled down from the eye socket of his giant brother in the distance and happened to land next to King.

"This is……"

King touched the huge eyeball, which was bigger than a house, and before he could react, the sound of cameras clicking behind him rang out.

"How lucky we are! We, who had to risk running out to use the toilet because there weren't enough toilets in the shelter, actually witnessed King killing the monster!"

A fat man in a suit was excitedly filming and shouting with his phone.

Behind him, several people holding tissues watched this scene with excitement.

"Didn't the report say that the Black Whirlwind Warrior was delaying the monster? How come King is here?"

"They probably only left after seeing King arrive, leaving the monster to King to deal with!"

"Definitely. Look at King, he's covered in blood and dust, but his clothes aren't even torn. He must have had an easy time dealing with the monster."

King glanced at the group of people, then at the big-eyed guy beside him, and at his giant brother lying not far away, and immediately understood what had happened.

Not the first time.

"actually, I……"

King was about to explain when he was interrupted.

"Mr. King! Please sign your autograph!"

A skinny man shouted excitedly at King and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"Why did you ask Mr. King to sign a piece of toilet paper?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Because all I had on me was toilet paper."

"So how are you going to wipe your butt later?"

"To be honest, I was so excited to see Mr. King that I couldn't hold it in, so I don't need to use tissues to wipe anymore."

"Wow! No wonder you smell so bad!"

King silently took a few steps back, putting distance between himself and the other person.

"Um...you guys should go to the restroom first, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Hey! King-san, don't go! You haven't signed anything yet!"

The skinny man waved the paper.

So King walked even faster.

"King must have something important to do again. We shouldn't waste the time of a hero like King!"

The fat man watched King's departing figure with an expression of admiration.

"Oh, is that so? Mr. King is truly great!"

"However, I didn't come away empty-handed. After all, I easily captured the moment after Mr. King killed the monster! Those newspapers would definitely be willing to pay a high price for this photo!"

The fat man looked at the photos on his phone and his face lit up with a smile, but then his expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no! I can't hold it in either! Toilet! Don't fight me for a spot!"

……

……

A few minutes later.

In an apartment in City D.

"Hmm, okay, it's alright. Are the association people already retrieving the monster's corpse?"

With his left hand, Shimizu was on the phone talking to an association staff member, while with his right hand, he was using a mouse to drag the timeline at the bottom of the video recording, reviewing the battle process of the shadow clone controlling the Black Warrior armor.

The White Shock Bomb's first combat use was quite effective, successfully drawing a lot of the giant's brother's attention in the early stages of the battle and reducing his strength and mobility.

Even though the other party quickly adapted, the effect was already quite remarkable.

After all, it's just an experimental version. Once a qualified finished product is made, its power should be increased by several times.

The current version can already briefly hold back monsters above the Dragon level; if it were a proper version, the effect would be much better.

If the user can perfect their immortal techniques and directly master the White Rage Technique, its power will definitely see a qualitative improvement.

Going forward, the development of white shock bombs will continue, but the direction will simply be to add a function that allows the power and range to be adjusted according to the terrain and the size and number of enemies.

As for the deep blue chains, they performed slightly worse, but they weren't entirely useless. They were just a little too small and were torn to pieces by the giant's brother after only a few seconds.

"The monster's corpse is worth 2 billion yen, and I can get 15%? Sure, no problem. Also, when will you put the matter of changing the hero's name that I mentioned last time on the agenda?"

Shimizu lazily took a sip of coffee and spoke into the phone.

He's managed to hold off such a powerful Dragon-level monster for so long, the Hero Association should definitely start paying more attention to him, right?
That should be able to change the name of the hero that clashes with the name Li Kui, right?
Surely we shouldn't be denied even this basic privilege?

"What do you mean there's no precedent for changing a hero's name? If there's no precedent, just give me one, won't you?"

Shimizu found the association's fussy and overly sentimental approach annoying.

It's just a matter of changing a hero's name, isn't it?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shimizu. I am Sitch. Given that your current hero name already enjoys considerable popularity among the masses, it is considered unsuitable to change your hero name. If you insist on changing it, I can raise it on your behalf at the high-level meeting. You can first suggest some names so that we can know your preferences."

At the association headquarters in City A, Sitch took the phone from the female operator next to him and said to Shimizu.

Changing the name of an A-level hero is something that even a call center operator doesn't have the authority to say. At most, they can submit a written report to their superiors after the call ends, requesting that the A-level hero's name be changed.

Whether the higher-ups of the Hero Association will see this, and whether they will think it's unimportant and not do anything about it, is hard to say.

Fortunately, because of the appearance of the Dragon-level monster today, Cich specially came to the communications command center to oversee things, which gave him the opportunity to directly communicate with the association's higher-ups.

Of course, this is also because Shimizu demonstrated considerable strength.

Apart from Sweet Mask, none of the other Class A heroes are capable of directly confronting Dragon-level monsters; at most, they can only barely hold off Demon-level monsters for a short while.

Shimizu has the ability to do so. Even though the time was not very long, King was the one who finally killed the monster. However, the monster's strength was quite strong among Dragon-level monsters. Sitch believes that apart from King and Tatsumaki, other S-class heroes may not be able to defeat it quickly, and some of them may not even be able to win.

and so……

Should we upgrade him to S-rank?

Let's decide in a meeting, and while we're at it, let's also report the matter of changing the hero's name.

On the other side, after making the call, Shimizu briefly reviewed the battle and then began packing her belongings.

He's about to move.

This small suite isn't bad. If it were for an average person, the environment, decor, and surrounding infrastructure would be considered quite good. The only downside is that it's too small.

Training can be done at the gyms affiliated with the association, but when it comes to things like creating puppets, it can be a bit restrictive.

The arc reactors on Darth Vader alone, along with the various chemical reagents needed to make the freeze bombs and the manufacture of other weapons, all require a large amount of equipment.

These devices have filled his house, leaving almost no space to move around.

Not to mention the particle accelerator needed to build the second-generation Arc Reactor.

That's the real big one.

Even if he were to build a small particle accelerator by hand, it would take up most of the room.

Considering all of this, and the other instruments and equipment I would need later, moving was imminent.

He needs a big house.

Fortunately, Shimizu is not short of money now.

The giant's brother's body was worth two billion, with King taking the lion's share and Shimizu taking the rest.

As far as Shimizu knows, King donated the vast majority of his earnings from his work as a superhero, keeping only a fixed salary for himself.

This is what the Hero Association has made public.
