The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

Along with these footsteps, a powerful aura rose into the sky from the smoke and dust.

"It would be really rude of you to leave like this."

A deep, somewhat hoarse voice came from the smoke and dust, accompanied by heavy footsteps, and a tall, dark figure became increasingly clear in the smoke and dust.

Upon seeing this, the person who received the vaccine narrowed their eyes slightly and a cold smile appeared on their lips.

"They actually withstood that attack?"

"You've come at the perfect time. As a witness, I'll let you see for yourself..."

As he spoke, the vaccine expert paused slightly after seeing the tall figure emerge from the smoke and dust.

The figure that appeared before him gave him a sense of danger.

His muscles were bulging, as if they had been carved by a chisel. Although his clothes were somewhat torn, you could not see any injuries on his body.

King emerged from the smoke and dust, looked at the vaccine man, casually tore off his tattered clothes, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had previously faced a life-or-death situation and chose to believe in the so-called system that had appeared in his mind.

He gambled all 100 million reputation points he had to exchange for a certain skill.

Although King had always been skeptical about this suddenly appearing system, in his dying moments, he had no right to doubt it and could only gamble everything on the system.

Fortunately, he was lucky and didn't make the wrong bet.

The moment he extracted that ability, countless images and information were transmitted into his mind through the system, and a scalding, magma-like power surged into his veins.

[Super God Skill System]

[Host]: king

[Reputation Value]: 0

[Current Skill]: Sin of Pride - Escanor Template

[Origin World]: The Seven Deadly Sins

[The Sin of Pride - Escanor Template]: Possesses solar-attribute magic; physique fluctuates drastically with the time of day, reaching its lowest point at midnight and gradually increasing with sunrise, peaking at noon (the host's behavior will also change)...

Looking at the system menu in front of him, King was puzzled. What exactly was this so-called peak power?

But now, nearing noon, he was indeed unharmed after taking a full hit from the Vaccine Man's attack, and the raging flames around him couldn't harm King in the slightest.

King breathed a sigh of relief, knowing at least that his life was safe.

However, King did not intend to fight the Vaccine Man in front of him. Even with his great power, fighting a Dragon-level monster was far too dangerous in his mind.

Moreover, I am not a hero, and fighting such a powerful enemy would be a thankless and exhausting task. Naturally, there will be heroes to solve the problem of the vaccine victims.

So King originally planned to play dead and wait for the vaccine recipient to leave before finding an opportunity to escape.

But after hearing the other party's arrogant, godlike speech, and seeing the Heartbeat Sisters limited edition he had just held in his arms turn to ashes and scatter in the wind, King's body moved as if out of control, and he walked up to Vaccine Man.

For some reason, vaccine recipients didn't seem so scary to him anymore.

Chapter 3: The Power of the Pride Template

Although King has obtained the power of the system, he does not yet know the extent of this power, so deep down he does not want to fight the Vaccine Man.

But at this moment, King didn't know why, he didn't seem to be afraid of the other party at all, as if the other party was just an ant that could be crushed at will.

King raised his head and his gaze fell on the vaccine recipient.

The other party damaged my game disc, so they have to compensate me.

"You're completely unharmed? My attacks could easily destroy your human cities."

King's expressionless face appeared as an arrogant and condescending demeanor to the Vaccine Man. Coupled with King's unharmed body, this made the Vaccine Man even more wary of him.

Upon hearing the words of the vaccine man, King couldn't help but turn his head to look at the street where he had just been standing.

It was completely a ruin. The once bustling streets were gone, leaving only black ashes and crumbling ruins.

Once inside, King realized that the Vaccine Man's attacks were even more terrifying than they had seemed before.

In the past, just looking at him would probably have scared him so much that he would have wet his pants.

However, he not only personally experienced the attack, but also emerged unscathed.

King believed that this attack was nothing more than a show of force.

As King was pondering this in his heart, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Is that all there is to it?"

Although King was just expressing his feelings, his words were full of sarcasm.

It was as if they were mocking the vaccine recipients for their insignificance.

Even the person in charge was stunned for a moment, and a look of astonishment appeared on their face.

He never expected that the human in front of him would spout such nonsense.

Are you a hero?

The vaccine man's bloodshot and filthy eyes were fixed on King.

"Are you going to stop me, the will of Earth?"

of course not.

I'm not a hero at all.

I'm just a passerby who came to buy games!

Although King no longer felt fear towards the Vaccine Man, to avoid the risk of fighting, he still explained:

"No, I just want you to compensate me for my loss, since you just broke the game disc I bought."

"Is this all the reason you're going to stop me, an apostle of Earth?!"

"Arrogant! It's just a mere pathogen, yet it dares to spout such nonsense."

"As expected, you humans should be exterminated!"

After a brief moment of surprise, the person who received the vaccine quickly developed a disdainful expression.

He was born in reverence for the will of the Earth and is destined to cleanse the entire world. No matter what kind of hero he is, anyone who stands in his way will be mercilessly annihilated!

King stared at the other person expressionlessly, his mind filled with doubt.

You broke my things, shouldn't you compensate me?

......

"Where are the heroes of City A?!"

Is nobody around?

Inside the Hero Association headquarters, Sitch, one of the high-ranking executives, was in the front-line command room, asking anxiously.

On the large screen in front of him was an electronic map of City A. A significant portion of the map, which should have been blue, was covered in red.

That was the area destroyed by the vaccine-carried people.

"There are reports that Lightning Max and Smiley Man are on their way!"

Another Hero Association executive quickly spoke to Sitch.

"Yeah....."

Sickey couldn't help but swallow hard and turned to look at the big screen.

This strange man had only been there for a few minutes when he had already destroyed more than a quarter of the city's urban area...

This is at least at the level of a Dragon-level monster.

Moreover, even S-class heroes might not be able to defeat such a powerful monster.

Although Lightning Max and Smiling Superman are considered to be of upper-middle level strength within the Hero Association, their A-level strength makes it absolutely impossible for them to defeat a Dragon-level monster, not even one percent.

"What about the latest S-class heroes?"

Sitch quickly asked.

"They are not in City A right now. We have already given instructions, and they are rushing over at full speed."

Hearing what the others said, Sitch's face grew increasingly grim, his features almost contorted in pain.

The Hero Association originally believed that City A, as the city where its headquarters were located, was theoretically the safest city. However, since most of the S-class heroes were in other cities, City A became an undefended ghost town.

Moreover, apart from the strongest S-class heroes, even the lower-ranked S-class heroes would probably find it difficult to deal with such a powerful Dragon-level monster.

"Where's the tornado?"

Sitch asked.

Tornado is the second-ranked S-class hero. Because the whereabouts of the first-ranked Blast are uncertain, Tornado, as a super telekinetic user, is currently the strongest fighting force that the Hero Association can utilize.

"Tornado is also on a mission right now and won't be back until tonight..."

Sitch's brows began to twitch uncontrollably, and an emotion called despair enveloped him.

......

The sun slowly moved upwards into the sky, its light growing ever brighter, while directly below lay the scorched earth of the streets.

The vaccine man was now completely enraged by King's words and actions, and wished he could tear King to pieces.

His body began to swell like a balloon, and veins like those of a giant python coursed through his skin.

The spine began to bend, making a chilling cracking sound, and the originally human-shaped hands gradually turned into the sharp claws of a wild beast.

This is the true form of a vaccine patient, unleashing the full power of their body.

Seeing the terrifying changes in the vaccine recipient in front of him, King's heartbeat was not as rapid and loud as before, but rather very calm.

If it were my former self, seeing this mutated monster in front of me would probably have terrified me to death.

But King remained calm and indifferent, as if the increasingly massive vaccine man in front of him was insignificant.

King was unaware of the changes in himself.

"I just wanted you to compensate me, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
