The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

What am I doing...?

King almost screamed in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to step forward.

If he had encountered such a situation when he had no power, he would definitely have run away without stopping.

But King is different now.

Neither he nor I know our true strength at this moment...

We absolutely must not act rashly...

Let's see if we can intimidate it.

King raised his head, his gaze fixed on the Cutting King:

"Since you haven't hurt anyone yet, I might consider letting you go."

King's voice was deep and full of authority.

"Let me go? Is this the arrogance of the strongest hero on Earth?"

The Cutting King was very wary of King's presence, but still spoke with a bit of bluff.

Just then, an eye, encased in a tumor, appeared out of nowhere and floated to the ear of the Cutting King:

"Cut King, retreat!"

The floating eyes made a sound.

"You're the one who ordered me to carry out this attack, and now you're telling me to retreat? Big Eyes!"

"Fighting King will only increase our losses in vain."

Those eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in an extremely stern tone.

"This is Lord Orochi's order!"

Chapter 47: My Name is Sykes

"understood."

Upon hearing the word "Orochi" from the other party, the Cutting King nodded, his tone tinged with awe. He looked at King and the woman lying on the ground, who should have been his prey, with some resentment, before quickly leaving the neighborhood and disappearing into the shadows.

"Did it... did it work?"

"What were they talking about just now?"

"Never mind... at least we avoided the risk of fighting."

King breathed a sigh of relief, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.

He looked down at the woman on the ground, who appeared to have fainted.

"Hey, are you alright?"

King leaned down and gently shook the other person.

At that moment, he was finally able to see the other person's appearance clearly.

The woman had rare long, wavy blue hair and wore a white long dress that perfectly accentuated her figure. However, it seemed that she had just fled in a hurry, and there were many torn areas under the dress, revealing glimpses of her fair thighs.

She wore glasses, but clearly possessed a very delicate face.

"I...I'm not dead?"

Seemingly hearing King's call, the woman slowly opened her eyes, looking at him with a puzzled expression. However, the next second, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"King...king!"

"The weirdo has left, everything's fine now."

King spoke slowly.

But before King could finish speaking, the woman hugged him tightly, buried her head in his chest, and burst into tears.

"Thank you so much..."

"I thought I was going to die..."

"Thanks to you, Lord King!"

"I... my name is Sykes, and I don't know how to thank Lord King..."

The woman, who identified herself as Sykes, was sobbing uncontrollably, pressing her body even closer to King as she spoke.

Just as she was about to express her gratitude to King again, King unexpectedly stood up.

"It's my duty to defeat the monster; there's no need to thank me."

King said calmly.

"I have more important things to do now."

What King was referring to was that he needed to rush back to his previous residence to salvage his other gaming merchandise.

For King, nothing was more important than this, so he didn't want to waste any more time here.

Before Sykes could react, King had already strode away.

"Seriously, this has ruined my plans."

As Sykes watched King's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a malicious smile appeared on her face, her eyes narrowing like those of a sinister serpent.

She is a superhuman, and Psykos, through her third eye, foresaw a hopeless future, which led her to the idea of ​​destroying all of humanity.

As a result, Psykos secretly created and gathered a large number of monsters, forming the Monster Association, which lurked in the unknown underground of Z City, waiting for the opportunity to completely exterminate human society.

However, no one in the Monster Association knows Psykos's true identity; she usually hides in a secret room 1500 meters underground.

Psykos created a powerful monster called Orochi and remotely manipulated a flesh puppet called Gyoro Gyoro using her superpowers, secretly influencing the Monster Association's actions. The tumor that just ordered Cutting King to retreat was also secretly controlled by Psykos.

And no one knows about these things.

The Hero Association will inevitably become a huge obstacle in Psykos's plans and must be eliminated. Just as Psykos was preparing to spend a long time arranging her plan to destroy the Hero Association, she learned of King's existence.

Rumors about King quickly spread throughout the Monster Association, and almost all the monsters had heard of this so-called strongest hero on Earth.

King's strength made Sykes extremely wary, especially after seeing King's power in the martial arts tournament on live television, Sykes became even more certain that King was a huge threat.

However, Sykes was also very curious about King's true strength. She knew that King had held back during the martial arts tournament, so she prepared to reveal her true form to make contact with King and learn more about him.

Perhaps, I will also have the opportunity to transform King into a monster and recruit her into my Monster Association, which would further enhance their strength.

Only someone with a human body like herself could do this. If she were to directly send out monsters at the executive level from the association, not only would they likely be eliminated by King, but the Monster Association is still in its development stage, and Psykos doesn't want to risk exposing her plans at this time.

So today, Sykes deliberately used the identity of Big Eyes to order Cutting King to attack the city, in order to create an opportunity for herself to make contact with King.

According to Psykos's plan, after King "saved" her, she would use the pretext of repaying the debt to get closer to King. While obtaining information about him, she might also be able to lure King into the territory of the Monster Association.

In this way, it would be much easier to either eliminate King or recruit him as an ally.

However, King didn't give Sykes any chance and left immediately, which disrupted Sykes's plans.

"No need to rush, I have plenty of time."

Sykes smiled slightly, stood up, and the dust that covered her automatically fell to the ground.

"But what exactly is King busy with?"

......

Around 8 p.m., King returned to Fubuki's house.

He had just secretly returned to his previous residence, which was now surrounded by construction crews. However, King managed to salvage his game console, figurines, and some clothes before they officially started work the next day, and packed them into his newly bought giant backpack.

At this point in time, the weight of so many things was considerable for King. When he returned to Fubuki's house, King felt unsteady and was about to faint.

"King, you're back?"

Fubuki quickly came out of the room, her gaze fixed on King.

"Why are you back so late? And I just received a notification that there are demon-level monsters lurking in the city..."

Chapter 48: Pressing the Blaze, Fubuki's Second Step in the Plan

"Oh, that guy got away."

King spoke slowly, then put his backpack on the ground with a sigh of relief.

"Did you defeat that strange man?"

After hearing King's words, Fubuki noticed his calm tone and pursed her lips slightly.

She remembered that a necessary condition for becoming an S-class hero was having the ability to defeat a Demon-level monster single-handedly.

For Fubuki, she could barely handle Tiger-level monsters at most; Demon-level monsters were far beyond her capabilities.

The thought that such a powerful being as a Demon-level monster was so easily defeated by King and her sister filled Fubuki, who was somewhat competitive, with mixed feelings.

This is the inherent difference in talent, just like how no matter how hard I try, I can never catch up with my older sister, Tatsumaki.

However, she quickly cheered up, which made Fubuki even more certain that her choice to get closer to King was definitely the right one.

"King, come and eat!"

"I've prepared a sumptuous meal for you!"

Fubuki warmly invited King to have dinner.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll go put my things back in my room now."

......

Before long, the two of them sat down at the dining table.

The table was laden with a dazzling array of food, which surprised King. There were only two of them, yet there were seven or eight dishes.

King usually eats very casually, as long as he is full. He usually only eats snacks most of the time, so he was a little surprised by such a sumptuous meal.

However, these meals were not cooked by Fubuki herself, but were ordered as takeout.

Fubuki herself isn't very good at cooking; all she can make is the most basic hot pot. She usually eats three meals a day at restaurants or has other people in Fubuki's group cook for her.

However, in order to leave a good impression on King, Fubuki ordered a lot of delicious takeout.
