I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

[The Promising Future True Lord has accepted your urgent mission and is currently jumping through time and space.]

Chapter Five: Bald Hero and the Myriad Phenomena of Heaven

[Would you like to accept the Sweetheart Angel's high-level emergency mission?]

Looking at the text on the virtual screen, Zhong Li clicked "OK" without hesitation.

[Congratulations, user, on accepting the mission. Initiating the time-space jump...]

The group system notification sound disappeared the next second.

The world suddenly changed color before his eyes.

Boom!

A crisp explosion suddenly rang in his ears, followed by a massive, muscular fist that filled his entire field of vision.

Boom!

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out.

A white, circular wave of air spread outward from the tip of the enormous fist, followed by a churning of air like a powerful water pump.

"kindness???"

Before the shockwave had fully dissipated, the enormous, bluish-green fist suddenly slammed back.

In the blink of an eye, a green figure, like an eel, suddenly darted out, covering a distance of several hundred meters.

The Deep Sea King paused briefly, his body, which had grown several times larger from absorbing the rainwater, contorted dramatically as he stood on the rooftop of a building. His malevolent eyes were fixed on Zhong Li, who had been standing motionless since he first appeared.

---A troublesome fellow has arrived. How did he get here without me even noticing?

---I used 80% of my strength in that punch, but he didn't move at all, and there was no sign of injury to his body.

---This is troublesome. I need to find out what's going on.

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Deep Sea King chuckled coldly:

"Another guy has arrived. So, you're one of those so-called heroes too?"

"hero?"

Despite the rain, Zhong Li, standing before the many professional heroes who had fainted on the ground, remained spotless and untouched by the rain, appearing as if a celestial being had descended to earth.

The punch just now didn't seem to have caused him any damage.

"I've never heard of this profession before, so I probably don't belong to it."

"If you're wondering why I'm here, then..."

Zhong Li raised his arm and gently pointed to the [Sexy Prisoner] lying on the ground at his feet.

“I came to save him. He made a ‘contract’ for help, which I agreed to and fulfilled. It was that simple.”

The Deep Sea King let out two cold laughs, and the next second, he suddenly pushed off with both feet.

Boom!

The building beneath his feet, which bore the weight of his weight, collapsed with a deafening roar, sending countless rubble flying and dust billowing up.

He covered a distance of at least two hundred meters in less than a second at a speed almost close to the speed of sound, and rushed to Zhongli's side.

Then, with all his might, he twisted his body, clenched his fist, and swung it out!

Rainwater flowed between the muscles, as if transforming into flying arrows.

The muscles, like an explosion, writhed and twisted all the way to the top.

This punch exhausted all of Deep Sea King's power, speed, and spirit.

The air roared at the tip of his fist.

Boom!

Another loud explosion rang out.

An even larger surge of air, greater than the previous punch, rippled around Deep Sea King and Zhongli, almost like a small tornado.

Air currents surge.

The next second, the green figure darted up quickly, like a stray dog, and fled in panic into the distance.

That's right, Deep Sea King escaped.

Behind him was Zhongli, who looked perfectly normal, not even missing a single hair.

Damn it, damn it, damn it, how can there be such terrifying people on land?

---I need to escape back to the deep sea as soon as possible.

---I can't afford to mess with this terrifying guy, I'd better run.

The Deep Sea King's mind was filled with endless thoughts, and for the first time since his birth, he fled in a panic, disregarding his image.

"The contents of the contract."

A voice, neither hurried nor slow, neither competitive nor forceful, neither loud nor soft, neither excited nor frustrated, simply like a straightforward narration, suddenly appeared in the Deep Sea King's ears.

"Kill the monster who invaded the city—Deep Sea King. His existence has been confirmed."

"Such a purely evil person should be punished."

The words fell.

Suddenly, the sky above became pitch black.

The torrential rain that had just begun and spread throughout the city vanished without a trace in less than a breath.

Click!

A sound like shattering glass echoed high in the sky.

Click click!

The next second, the world shattered.

A massive rock, glowing with yellow fluorescence, broke through the limitations of the world, turning the entire sky into a dark, shattered world.

Black fragments fell, like black snowflakes, silently seeping into the ground.

Boom!

First came the light, a golden radiance that illuminated every inch of the Deep Sea King's body, the immense pressure rendering him completely immobile.

The heat from the friction of the giant rocks against the air was concentrated entirely on the Deep Sea King.

His body visibly shrank and became drier, and his muscles completely atrophied.

Finally, there is the sound and the meteorite itself.

They descended together, creating a sonic boom that could shatter the eardrums of ordinary people, which resounded throughout a corner of the city. Within the sound, the meteorites continuously compressed and shrank, eventually transforming into a rock spear that was only slightly larger than the Deep Sea King, but with a terrifyingly high density.

"The heavens move and all things are in motion."

At this moment, Zhongli, who had been standing still with his arms crossed since he appeared in this world, finally revealed the name of his skill.

But no one could hear it anymore.

The Rock Spear completely skewered Deep Sea King like a string of candied hawthorns, firmly fixing him to the ground.

[It has been determined that Deep Sea King is dead.]

The chat group system notification sounded suddenly.

The emergency mission has been completed, and the reward has been issued.

With two "ding-dong" sounds, Zhongli's chat group gained another 10,000 points.

But he wasn't interested in it.

His brain was constantly sensing everything around him.

This experience of traveling through different worlds was far more valuable to him than those mere 10,000 points.

Although he didn't know what this meant for people in other groups, it made him understand some things he had never understood before.

For example, the differences between worlds, and how to travel from one world to another.

---This deal can be described as a win-win situation.

With this in mind, Zhongli crouched down and began to examine the [Sexy Prisoner] lying on the ground.

His completely exposed body caused his eye to twitch slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.

He raised his finger and gently tapped the [Sexy Prisoner] above him. A golden light emanated from his fingertip and seeped into the body of the burly man before him.

After confirming that the group members in front of him were all safe, Zhong Li was about to open the chat group and return to his original world.

Out of the corner of his eye, he involuntarily glanced at a bald man with a bright orange cloak not far away.

---This person? When did they arrive?

Chapter Six: Favored by Fate and Saitama

"Why....?"

A strange man with a shiny bald head, wearing an earth-yellow cloak and an earth-yellow bodysuit slowly walked up to Zhongli's side.

He looked very relaxed, like a typical family member who had just finished get off work and was on their way to the supermarket to buy a half-price bento.

"Hey." The bald, caped man stood beside Zhongli without any hesitation, patting him on the shoulder: "Which one lying here is the Deep Sea King?"

Before Zhongli could answer, he kicked the [Sexy Prisoner] at his feet: "Is this it??"

Zhong Li shook his head: "No. If you're looking for that lizard-like monster, it should be over there."

He pointed to a green monster corpse not far away, pierced through the ground by a golden spear and turned into a dried lizard.

The bald cape-wearing man paused for a moment, then quickly jogged over to the green monster's corpse.

Curious, he kicked the corpse, touched the golden rock pillar on it, and then gently squeezed it.
