The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

The no-man's-land in Z City is a place that even high-level heroes dare not go to, let alone a rabble of B-level heroes like them.

Previously, the members of the Fubuki Group had considered going to Z-City to deal with some high-level monsters and increase their fame, but later decided that Z-City was too dangerous, so Fubuki abandoned the idea.

So when King mentioned Z City, everyone was stunned for a moment.

However, a smile immediately appeared on Fubuki's face, and her surprise just a flashed by, as if it had never existed.

Although Z City is dangerous, things will definitely be different with King around!

Chapter 51: Entering the No Man's Land, the Cutting King Attacks

"Ok!"

Upon hearing King mention Z City, Fubuki quickly nodded in agreement.

Although Z-City is far too dangerous for the Fubuki Group, who are all B-class heroes, it's no big deal if King is with them.

King is the man with the title of the strongest on Earth, and he has even defeated a monster at the Dragon level.

With King around, there's nothing to worry about.

"Alright, let's go then."

King said.

......

Z City, hundreds of meters underground.

This is a vast and open space, with interconnected tunnels that resemble a giant octopus lurking underground. Various magnificent buildings surround it, each with a long history, making it look like an incredibly grand underground city.

Once upon a time, beneath human civilization, there lived a race known as the Subterranean People. They lived deep underground, unknown to humankind, and these tunnel structures were built by them.

However, many years ago, most of the underground people were brutally murdered, and their territory was occupied by a group of people.

It is the Monster Association.

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Monster Association, a monster over five meters tall, resembling a tumor, was sitting on a stone chair.

Its body was bloated, its flesh-colored skin was extremely rough and seemed to be covered with a layer of mucus, and its torso was covered with arms of different sizes. The only thing they had in common was that they all had only two fingers, making it look particularly creepy.

This monster is none other than Gyoro Gyoro, the strategist of the Monster Association.

In reality, it was merely a flesh-and-blood puppet created by Sykes, lacking any intrinsic consciousness and entirely controlled remotely by Sykes.

Psykos secretly manipulates the Monster Association using her identity as Gyoro Gyoro, and none of the monsters in the Monster Association know this, leaving them completely at her mercy.

"Does anyone dare to trespass on my territory?"

As a psychic, Psykos sensed someone entering the no-man's-land of Z-City, which was one of the entrances to the Monster Association headquarters.

"Are they some strange people who have come to seek refuge? Or are they one of those reckless heroes?"

The Hero Association had sent some heroes to explore the no-man's-land, but they were mostly seriously injured and returned empty-handed—this was because Psykos had sent monsters with at least Demon-level strength to guard the no-man's-land.

"But no matter who it is, they should be able to take care of those strange gatekeepers."

......

"Is this the no-man's land in Z City?"

At this time, King and the Fubuki Group had arrived at the edge of Z City, which is the no-man's land known as the forbidden zone.

Because the frequency of strange occurrences in Z City has increased dramatically in recent years, the citizens of Z City have been forced to relocate to the city center, making it a no-man's land where no one dares to approach.

However, for the same reason, this area has not experienced water or power outages, so it's possible that someone is still living here.

"This place... feels so desolate."

Fubuki cautiously looked around; the place was dilapidated and showed no trace of the city it once was.

The streets were deserted, and the entire neighborhood exuded an aura of death.

The ground was covered with trash and debris, but there wasn’t much dust, as if someone frequently came and went from here. The surrounding walls had jagged, serrated marks.

There is no doubt that some terrifying beings live here.

Looking at this scene, King felt it looked somewhat familiar.

Just like the attack caused by the sudden appearance of the Cutting King yesterday.

Is it a coincidence?

King didn't know either, and wasn't very worried.

He is no longer afraid of any weirdo.

He looked down at his watch; it was already past eleven, not long before noon.

"King, Lord King..."

Just then, Lily, who had been standing next to King, spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly, and her body curling up slightly.

Are there any strange people here?

As a member of the Fubuki Group, Lily the Three-Section Staff had only recently been promoted to B-class. When she was a C-class hero, her daily work mainly consisted of capturing low-level wanted criminals, and she rarely came into contact with monsters.

Behind Lily, the other members of the Fubuki Group were also very uneasy.

This is a no-man's-land known as a forbidden zone...

Ordinary heroes wouldn't dare to come in...

But with King around, everything should be fine...

"There should be."

King said slowly.

"But it's nothing serious."

As he spoke, King slightly raised his head and looked at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky, which was incredibly dazzling.

King can now feel power surging through his veins at all times, and his confidence is rising along with it.

"Don't worry, King and I are here, everything will be fine!"

Fubuki loudly encouraged the members of the Fubuki Group from the side, and while speaking, she did not forget to take the opportunity to praise herself.

Just then, a strange, cold wind slowly swept in.

King's eyes narrowed slightly; he could keenly sense a terrifying killing intent emanating from the cold wind.

And it felt so familiar.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

"King!"

"This time, I will definitely cut you into pieces!"

On the street that should have been deserted, a murky sound suddenly rang out.

This sound was very familiar to King, because he had heard it the night before.

Cutting King.

The slender figure wrapped in bandages emerged from the shadows of the street.

The two swords attached to its arms rubbed against the ground, sparking blinding flashes.

The moment he appeared, the Cutting King exuded an immense sense of oppression, making most of the members of the Blizzard Group breathless.

"Strange, strange person..."

"Protect Lady Fubuki!"

At that moment, Eyelashes and Mountain Ape immediately stood in front of Fubuki, shielding her behind them.

What are you two doing?

A smile graced Fubuki's face as she took off her white fleece coat and gently draped it over Yamajutsu's shoulder.

"As the leader of the Blizzard Group and the number one B-rank hero, protecting my subordinates is my duty!"

Fubuki's smile was full of confidence. She narrowed her eyes slightly and fixed her gaze on the King of Cutting.

The opponent was thin and didn't seem very strong, except for two sharp weapons and strange bandages on his body.

Chapter 52: This is the difference between S and B

Protecting her subordinates was only one of the reasons Fubuki stepped forward; her biggest goal was to demonstrate her strength to King.

For Fubuki, although she is not as good as her older sister Tatsumaki, if she can gain the recognition of King, whose strength is above Tatsumaki's, Fubuki feels that she has surpassed her sister in a certain sense.

Now is the best opportunity to showcase your abilities.

"Hellstorm!"

Fubuki shouted and activated her superpower, causing a deep green light to appear around her body.

Suddenly, a fierce gale began to spin rapidly around the snowflake, and a tornado several meters wide appeared around her.

The ground was gradually torn apart, and the surrounding stones and broken tiles were swept into the gale. What was originally insignificant was transformed into countless deadly weapons after being spun at high speed.

Fubuki's signature move, Hellstorm, sweeps away flying debris into a swirling storm, sending countless stones crashing down on her opponent, tearing flesh and shattering bones.

Fubuki raised her hands high above her head, then swung them down sharply. The tornado changed direction, and the rubble in the storm shot towards the Cutting King's position like flying knives.

"It's Lady Fubuki's ultimate move!"

"As expected of Lady Fubuki!"

Go for it! You can do it!

The fear and timidity on the faces of the Fubuki group members vanished instantly, and they all cheered Fubuki on.

Although she is ranked first in B-class, Fubuki's strength is enough to rank among the top in A-class.

but......

Even a regular Class A hero wouldn't be a match for Cutting King, since Cutting King has reached the strength of a Demon-level monster, which requires at least an S-class hero to handle.

But Fubuki is not yet qualified.
