The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

King naturally assumed that Tornado was an underage girl.

King himself looks a bit older than his age, and when he's with Tornado, it's as if there's a two-generation age gap between them.

However, King and Tornado are actually about the same age, both in their twenties.

"You, you little rascal! You're the one who's a child!"

Tornado grabbed King, who was about to stand up, and said in a petulant tone.

What she hated most was being treated like a child, especially since those words came from King, who was hailed as the strongest hero in the association. This made Tatsumaki feel like he was provoking her, and her competitive spirit intensified.

At this moment, Tornado's lips were slightly pursed as she turned to look at King, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Don't underestimate me, King! I will beat you!"

"what?"

This left King completely baffled.

We just met today, didn't we?

Although I offended you a little this morning, there's no need for you to act like you want to eat me alive.

And I was worried you'd had too much to drink, why are you being so hostile?

Is this guy going to attack me with superpowers right now?

It's nighttime now, I have no power to fight back!

Just as King was stunned, Tornado drank the entire glass of wine.

She felt as if her throat was on fire, and her stomach was burning.

Chapter Seventeen: Drunk Superpowered Users are the Most Troublesome

At the same time, red paint immediately bloomed on Tornado's originally fair skin, and her whole body seemed to be on fire.

She felt a little dizzy and lightheaded, as if gravity had shifted.

"W-why is the ground starting to spin?"

"Hey!"

King initially thought the other party was going to attack him, never expecting that they would drink all the wine in one go.

At that moment, a green light gradually emanated from Tornado's body, and she floated up from her seat, her wisps of hair fluttering in the wind.

King looked at Tornado with some surprise. Judging from her expression and behavior, Tornado was undoubtedly drunk.

A superpowered person getting drunk could be a very terrifying thing.

Moreover, it's something of Tornado-level power...

She reached out and the entire dining table was overturned.

"Wine, wine."

Tornado slightly moved her fingers, and several bottles of wine on the table flew up and spun around her body like satellites.

"This is the first time I've seen Tornado drunk. It seems she's happy about Mr. King joining us!"

Bang looked up at the tornado in mid-air and smiled.

King's face was covered in black lines.

Is this happiness?

This guy just now looked like he was going to kill me.

And it would be very dangerous for a superpowered person like Tatsumaki to get drunk, it would be very dangerous, it would be very dangerous!

Why didn't any of you try to stop them?

King turned to look at another table, where all the high-ranking members of the Hero Association were seated. Theoretically, they should come out and stop Tatsumaki.

However, when King turned around, he found that the people had packed up their things and were ready to leave.

"My heroes, we still have important matters to attend to. Have fun, everyone!"

After saying that, Sitch left with the others.

This is clearly a plan to run away.

Hey, stop right there!

King turned to look at Bang with a hint of helplessness. He sensed that Bang was the most respected and reliable person in the Hero Association.

"Mr. Bang, aren't you going to stop the tornado?"

The king asked.

Above his head, the tornado controlled the plate like a flying saucer, making it fly wildly through the air in an irregular trajectory, which looked very dangerous.

"Tornado does indeed possess the ability to destroy the entire headquarters, and this is the first time I've ever seen Tornado drunk."

As Bang spoke, he picked up his glass and took another small sip.

"And even if we wanted to stop it, we were powerless to do so."

"Compared to Little Tornado, our heroes are still quite weak. Even if we wanted to stop her, we would be willing but unable to."

"We can only rely on you, Mr. King."

Bang said this because he believed that only King possessed strength comparable to Tatsumaki, and therefore could stop the opponent.

Hearing Bang's words, King first turned to look at the clock on the wall. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the power he had gained during the day had long since vanished.

Then he looked up and his eyes met Tatsumaki's. Tatsumaki had already picked up the bottle and started drinking it all.

King's heart suddenly raced again.

I'm not very energetic at night!

Asking me to stop a drunken tornado? That's like sending me to my death!

It's all over, it's all over.

Just as King was about to find an excuse to decline, Superalloy Darkshine, Atomic Samurai, and the others spoke up:

"Thank you for your help, Mr. King!"

At this point, King was completely speechless. In his eyes, everyone else was like the executioners who were pushing him to the execution ground.

But King was now powerless and could only stand up with the thought of heroic sacrifice:

"Tornado, please come down."

"You've already had too much to drink, you can't drink anymore."

"Let me take you back to your room to rest."

Within the Hero Association, S-class heroes enjoy significant privileges. While they can be stationed or move freely in various locations, they are provided with private rooms at the association headquarters.

Upon hearing King's voice, the drunken Tornado stopped drinking, spun slightly in the air, narrowed her eyes, and fixed her emerald-like eyes on King like a curious kitten.

Are you ordering me around?

"No, I was just trying to persuade you."

King spoke slowly, appearing calm and collected, but inwardly he was panicking. He only hoped that his words would not anger Tornado.

"Who are you? What gives you the right to order me around?"

Tornado asked sharply. Under the influence of alcohol, she was now completely letting loose in her speech and actions, unlike her usual self. She didn't seem like a hero at all, but rather more like a willful girl.

Upon hearing Tornado's words, King's heart skipped a beat; he seemed to sense the terrifying killing intent emanating from her.

King no longer hopes that Tornado will spare him; he only hopes to preserve his body intact.

"I am King."

King mustered the last of his courage and squeezed out those words.

At the same time, his heart was beating faster and faster, and a huge, loud roar was constantly ringing in his ears.

"Has the Emperor's Engine started up again?"

"Looks like King's getting serious!"

Is the Hero Association's strongest hero battle about to begin?

The other heroes' eyes were all fixed on King, completely unaware that he was already drenched in sweat.

At this moment, Tornado also heard King's 'Emperor Engine' sound and actually became slightly more awake.

She had subconsciously been somewhat wary of King's strength, and even once thought that King's strength was above hers. Even when she was drunk, she did not forget this.

Even when she was drunk, Tornado wasn't very willing to directly provoke King.

"If you don't want me to drink it, then you don't want me to drink it."

Tornado pouted slightly, the green light around her gradually disappeared, and she returned to her seat. The wine bottles and plates that had been flying through the air landed steadily on the ground along with the dining table.

Because the effects of the alcohol hadn't worn off, Tornado not only felt a headache, but also a severe sense of fatigue.

Tornado used her hands as a pillow and lay down on the dining table to fall asleep.

King was utterly speechless. He had unknowingly become a hardworking old father taking care of a troublesome child.

Chapter 18: The Tsundere Tornado is So Cute

"Hey."

King sighed. Leaving Tornado here wasn't a good idea, because in his eyes, Tornado was just a little kid.

So he had no choice but to carry Tornado back to her room.

He crouched down and carried Tatsumaki on his back. Tatsumaki, who was drunk, instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around King's neck, leaning against his back.

King felt the weight of the girl behind him, as light as a feather, perhaps because Tornado's frame was very petite.

While carrying Tornado, King was somewhat terrified, fearing that she might go on a drunken rampage again and use her powers to kill him.

King quickly brought Tornado back to the other person's room and put her back on the bed.
