Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

She immediately opened her mouth in a fit of rage and bit Bai Ye's cheek, whimpering, "Ugh...you cheated!"

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you." Bai Ye felt his cheek being torn by the other's silver teeth, leaving it wet, and could only soothe him gently, "Let's call it a day then."

"Ah! You...you're really not coming today? Don't lie to me!" Tornado gently released Bai Ye's cheek. Why was this guy suddenly so easy to talk to?

She thought her biting would make him even more unrestrained tonight, but then he suddenly changed his mind?

In an instant, Tornado, knowing there were no special events tonight, felt no pain in her back or legs, and her mischievous nature almost kicked in, nearly prompting her to challenge Byakuya to do it 10 more times.

"Well, next I'll consider taking care of that thing called the Monster Association. There's still a little over a month left, which should be enough time."

"The Monster Association? What is this thing? More than a month... Are you about to die?" Tatsumaki blurted out.

The familiar feeling from the previous few days returned the next moment, flooding her brain and almost making her scream out in pleasure.

"If you can't speak properly, you'll be sucking my jaw so hard you'll dislocate it tonight," Bai Ye warned, withdrawing his hand speechlessly.

But after a while, he still spoke up to explain: "There's a guy in the Monster Association whose strength has reached the top of the Dragon level. Shouldn't we just trick Saitama into going there and wiping them out?"

"Is the Saitama you're talking about, the bald guy, really that strong?" Tatsumaki asked after recovering, thinking of the bald guy. Without the aura of a strong person, you can't tell at all.

"Very strong, or rather, the speed at which they are becoming stronger is unprecedented," Bai Ye said.

Thinking about how Saitama had been constantly pestering him to fight lately, he couldn't help but wonder if he should find some time to satisfy his fighting desires.

"I've decided that if everything goes smoothly, I'll have a little sparring match with him before I return," Bai Ye said.

Chapter 209 Heroes' Meeting

The detailed battle between Baiye and Longjuan late at night was cut by 10 words.

On the internet, the news that 34 high-ranking heroes of A rank or above were collectively placed on the wanted list and subsequently died yesterday has instantly stirred up a huge storm.

Since the establishment of the Hero Association, although monsters have continued to appear and at an increasingly higher frequency, the total number of deaths of all heroes has not exceeded 10.

As for heroes of A rank and above, there were hardly any losses. Apart from those who retired voluntarily or due to injuries, only Sexy Prisoner was reported dead.

But the deaths of 34 high-ranking heroes in just one day naturally shocked the entire society.

In response to external doubts, the Hero Association's reply was very simple: "These heroes on the list are undercover agents infiltrated by the Monster Association!"

Subsequently, the Hero Association released information about the Monster Association.

The Monster Association's goal is to destroy the Hero Association and then rule the entire Earth.

There are about twenty monsters of Demon level or higher that require an S-class hero to defeat.

This news quickly overshadowed the hero's death, and even the S-class heroes were shocked, realizing that there was such a powerful force lurking in the shadows.

While these people were inquiring with the association, they received another piece of information: it turned out that this information came from the S-class hero KING.

Furthermore, the association publicly stated that in order to obtain this information, KING was surrounded by multiple monsters. Although he survived, he had lost his fighting ability.

……

The next morning, at the entrance of the Hero Association headquarters, King, with his Emperor Engine activated, nervously stared at the staff in front of him.

He was now preparing to face the verdict his staff would deliver.

A staff member in a black suit said in a serious tone, "I regret to inform you, Mr. KING, that because you do not meet the requirements of the Hero Association, your hero status will be officially revoked starting today."

"As for the resources you previously obtained from the association, the association will not take them back. The public will also announce that you are unable to perform hero work because you were seriously injured in the battle with the Monster Association, and we hope you can cooperate."

As they spoke, the staff member couldn't help but feel helpless.

After the White Night reforms, the Hero Association places a greater emphasis on strength; without sufficient power, no matter how many missions are completed, one cannot reach a higher level.

Furthermore, when advancing in rank, each active hero must undergo a physical test in the presence of multiple referees to confirm their suitability for the upcoming hero role, with a minimum of one test per year.

After testing, it turned out that the legendary strongest hero, KING, was just an ordinary person with a weak body and no superpowers.

The so-called Emperor Engine is just a slightly faster heartbeat, with no other distinguishing features... This is simply a huge scandal.

When the association's senior management learned of this, they collectively broke down and, after a meeting, decided to cover it up as much as possible, which led to the current situation.

“I understand. I’ve been trying to explain this for the past few years, but either I didn’t have the opportunity or you didn’t believe me. Now I can finally relax.”

Hearing that he didn't have to pay compensation, King's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he felt relieved.

The staff member glanced at KING with disappointment, then said nothing more and turned to walk into the association.

Watching the other person's back as they entered the association, King sighed softly, then felt a hand on his shoulder.

A concerned voice rang in his ear: "Mr. KING, are you alright? The news says you were ambushed by the Monster Association and have completely lost your fighting ability."

King turned around and found Atomic Samurai with his hand on his shoulder, observing him.

He hurriedly explained, "It's okay, it's just that I overused my abilities and can't recover them anymore. I can only be an ordinary person from now on."

"That's such a pity." Atomic Samurai sighed after receiving the reply. "So what are your plans next? Do you need my help?"

"It doesn't matter. Even without superpowers, I'm a gaming expert. I can make a living by mastering games."

King said confidently, then asked, "But Mr. Atomic Samurai, what brings you to the Hero Association all of a sudden?"

"Of course it's because of the information about the Monster Association that you risked your life to bring out." Bang, his body bandaged and with multiple broken bones, stepped forward with a cane and said:

"Most of the S-class and above heroes have arrived here to deal with the threat posed by the Monster Association."

Upon hearing Bang's words, King immediately broke out in a cold sweat and chuckled dryly, "Oh... I see."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with KING, the two arrived at the conference room, where several heroes were already waiting. Among them, Bang was the first to notice Bai Ye's figure.

Bai Ye was leaning back in his chair with a relaxed expression. When Bang entered, she glanced at him briefly and then ignored him.

As for Tornado, she sat at the table opposite Byakuya, yawning from time to time, looking somewhat exhausted.

"Are you Mr. Nemesis?"

At this moment, a man whose body was mostly modified by machinery entered from outside. Upon seeing Bai Ye, he said solemnly, "I am Genos, Saitama's apprentice. Please take care of me in the future."

"Oh, Baiye, you're here too." A bald man appeared behind Genos and said, "How's your consideration of the previous duel invitation going?"

“No problem. I’ve thought about it carefully. The official duel will be in a month. I’ll let you know then.” As Bai Ye said this, Saitama’s eyes immediately lit up.

He had previously thought that Bai Ye possessed the same physique as him, and that they would be able to fight each other head-on in a month?

After waiting for another half hour, as the S-class heroes arrived one after another, a high-ranking member of the association walked in from outside.

After scanning the area, he sighed, "It seems the demolition hasn't happened yet. Let's get straight to the point."

"As you all have probably heard, the information about the Monster Association has been confirmed. In order to deal with this impending threat, we must prepare in advance."

The high-ranking official said solemnly, "Therefore, we are preparing to gather and exterminate the monsters. According to the intelligence we have provided, the Monster Association's lair is located underground in Z City."

"To prevent the disaster from escalating, we should take advantage of their inability to react and storm the city within a day, annihilating all the enemies."

At this moment, Child Emperor raised his hand and questioned, "Wait, isn't this a bit too hasty? We're not ready yet!"

The other heroes on the scene also had different expressions. They didn't expect that time would be so tight. They hadn't even gotten themselves into their best condition before they had to face the monsters' attack.

Chapter 210 Overwhelm the others

Faced with Child Emperor's doubts and the hesitation of other heroes, the association's higher-ups naturally had their reasons:

"Even you guys didn't react in time, let alone the weirdo. If the enemy runs away because they are afraid of our strength, it will be difficult for us to deal with them."

"As for the leader of this expedition, it will be led by the newly promoted S-class 'One-Punch Man'. I believe he can serve as the leader of this expedition well."

"Eh, me?" Saitama, who had been spacing out the whole time, immediately perked up when he heard the words of the association's higher-ups.

On the scene, Genos's expression remained unchanged. In his opinion, Saitama was the strongest, and it was only natural for him to be the leader.

"Why make this newly promoted hero the leader? Is he really that strong?" Atomic Samurai asked, puzzled.

The other heroes also looked strange, unsure of the association's intentions.

"This was proposed by the nemesis, and all the traitors hidden in the Monster Association were dealt with by One-Punch Man alone."

"His strength is evident to all based on this achievement," the association's higher-ups explained, but they still couldn't convince the heroes, since Saitama's experience was simply too limited.

They immediately turned their attention to Tornado's location, since given her personality, she should naturally be the first to speak.

But Tornado, who was resting her head on her hand with little interest, had no objection to Saitama becoming the leader, thanks to the warnings that Byakuya had given her the day before.

Bai Ye then calmly said from the side, "If anyone has any objections, they are welcome to come up and fight Saitama. It doesn't matter if they get injured, since we only need one person to fight this monster."

'This guy…' In an instant, the emotions at the scene were ignited by Bai Ye's words.

Since they were promoted to S-level, each of them has the strength to suppress a region. A city might not even produce one such talent, so naturally none of them feel that they should be subordinate to others.

Seeing the bald man standing there dumbfounded, the competitive spirit of all the heroes on the scene suddenly surged.

Saitama, however, remained uninterested. Aside from his initial surprise, he showed no reaction whatsoever, only saying helplessly to Byakuya, "Hey, don't attract my hatred."

"Isn't this the fastest way? You were going to be the main force in this campaign anyway, and these people won't be convinced if you don't take action."

“If we keep dawdling, we might not even finish fighting the monsters’ lair by tomorrow morning. Instead of wasting time, we should just defeat them all,” Bai Ye said, shrugging.

"Alright." Saitama thought it made sense, and turned his head to say, "Then bring it on, whoever wants to go first."

"Let me ask you for some pointers first." Atomic Samurai, with a thin toothpick dangling from his mouth, appeared behind Saitama without him noticing, his right hand gripping his katana tightly.

"Watch out, One-Punch Man!" Atomic Samurai warned, and the next moment, his katana had somehow left its sheath, and he swung it with all his might toward Saitama's forehead.

The specially designed katana moves at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound, and can leave tens of thousands of ultra-thin cuts, each 0.01mm thick, on Saitama's skin in the blink of an eye.

But before the blade in his hand was even halfway out of its sheath, Saitama's right hand had already pressed down on the hilt, gently pushing the katana back with a "clang".

"This is impossible!" Atomic Samurai stared at his right hand, which was covered by a red glove and was pressing down on his sword sheath, speechless. The difference was simply astonishing.

"Are you done?" Saitama asked with a kind smile, gently releasing his hand.

"I... I admit defeat." Atomic Samurai sighed, never expecting that his lifelong practice of the sword-drawing slash would be forcibly suppressed.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye stared wide-eyed, not blinking. If there were a progress bar in his mind, it would probably say: "[You have learned the technique, Atomic Slash 32%]".

'Tsk, they pressed it back before I even made a move. I only got a little clearer view.' Bai Ye thought to himself, somewhat annoyed.

The heroes present were also somewhat stunned as they watched this scene.

Everything happened too fast. Many of them didn't even notice Atomic Samurai's attack. How could they suddenly be defeated?

"Anyone else who's not happy and wants to fight, come on up here quickly," Bai Ye urged.
