The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

The person who had the vaccine pressed on King's throat could only kneel on the ground, raise their head, and look at the other person in horror.

At this moment, King's face almost overlapped with the sun, making it impossible for the vaccine recipients to open their eyes.

The man with the vaccine wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound. Flames raged over his body, devouring every piece of his flesh.

His body had been burned into a pitch-black charcoal, and life had long since left his body.

King released his grip, and the Vaccine Man's body fell to the ground, shattering into pieces and turning into ashes scattered by the wind.

Watching from afar, Smiley Superman and Lightning Max stared in disbelief at the scene, speechless for a long time.

They never expected that a Dragon-level monster would be so easily defeated by King.

"What... what level of strength is this...?"

"Is this King...?"

The two swallowed hard, then quickly ran towards King to greet him.

"Mr. King!"

"Oh, it's the two of you."

King turned to look at the other two people. The identities of the heroes registered with the Hero Association are public, so he knew who these two people were.

However, after responding to the two of them, King didn't say anything more.

Ah, my heartbeat sisters limited edition.

King sighed helplessly. He had made a long trip today to buy this game, but it was ruined by that vaccine man.

He only wanted compensation for his losses from that strange man, but the man flew into a rage and attacked him, ultimately killing him.

I really can't understand it.

But to the other two, King's sigh seemed to indicate that he was disappointed in them.

"Damn it! The city is in such great danger, and we are powerless to do anything about it. If it weren't for Mr. King, we don't know how much more we would have suffered!"

Lightning Max lowered his head and said with self-reproach.

"There's nothing more for me here now, so I'll be going."

King turned his head and said slowly.

"Don't worry, Mr. King, leave the cleanup to our Hero Association."

Smiling Superman confidently patted his chest, then looked around. The ground was littered with the broken remains and scraps of Vaccine Man.

"We will also do our best to assist and support you, Mr. King."

King nodded slightly and then left.

Meanwhile, Smiley Superman and Lightning Max, who remained behind, watched King's departing figure with utmost reverence.

"Mr. King looks very arrogant."

"But we humans are truly fortunate to have Mr. King."

"Let's report the situation here to headquarters immediately!"

......

Several hours later, King finally returned home.

The first thing King did when he got home was to take out snacks and drinks from the refrigerator and then turn on the game console, as if everything that had happened during the day was insignificant.

After nightfall, having completed the game and defeated the final boss, King, with nothing to do, stared at the enemy corpses on the screen and couldn't help but think about what had happened during the day.

My God!

What on earth happened?!

I actually fought a Dragon-level monster?!

I fucking won?!

Recalling the events of the day, King felt an overwhelming sense of fear. His confidence and composure from earlier in the day had vanished, and his heart began to pound violently, echoing throughout the room.

That's an existence that even S-class heroes can't defeat!

He almost destroyed half the city!

But he killed him instantly.

Everything that happened today feels like a dream, so unreal.

Are all of these problems caused by the system?

"I hope I haven't really become very strong."

King put down the controller and looked down at his hands.

He picked up a glass beverage bottle, tentatively held it in his hand, and then suddenly pulled hard...

Then there is no more.

The vision in King's mind of crushing the bottle did not occur.

Chapter Six: High Investment, High Returns!

Even though King had used all his strength, with veins bulging on his forehead and his face turning red, the bottle in his hand remained completely still.

King had no choice but to let go and put the glass bottle down; the power he had gained during the day had long since vanished.

At that moment, the system menu that had appeared in his eyes during the day reappeared, confirming to King that everything that had happened during the day was not a dream.

[Super God Skill System]

[Host]: king

[Reputation Value]: 8394012

[Current Skill]: Sin of Pride - Escanor Template

【Sin of Pride - Escanor Template】: Possesses solar-attribute magic, and physique changes drastically with the time of day, reaching its lowest level at midnight and gradually increasing as the sun rises, reaching its peak at noon (the host's behavior will also change).

During the day, because the situation was too critical, King didn't have time to think about it carefully. Only now did he realize that his power seemed to be related to time.

"When we fought the vaccine addicts during the day, it was around noon, so that's how we were able to defeat them..."

"But now it's night, and the power has already disappeared."

"But...why has my reputation level become so high again?"

King looked at his reputation points with a puzzled expression. The more than 100 million reputation points that he had gambled away that morning had now returned to 8 million.

what happened?

Is it because I eliminated the vaccine recipients?

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about these things for now.

King began to study the system with some curiosity, and tentatively spent 10000 reputation points to draw a skill. This was the minimum investment the system accepted, and King wanted to see what skill he could draw this time.

[Acquired Skill]: Equivalent Exchange

[Origin World]: Unknown

[Equivalent Exchange]: Users can exchange 50 yen for a roll of toilet paper.

???

What is that?

50 yen can be converted into a roll of toilet paper?

Why don't I go to the supermarket to buy it?

What a useless skill!

King couldn't help but complain in his mind.

King then drew several more skills, all of which were undoubtedly garbage, with some bizarre things like "faster eating speed" and "can talk and breathe at the same time" mixed in.

In order to continue trying, King spent 10,000, 100,000, and 1 million respectively to draw skills.

[Gained Skill: Water Flow Acceleration]

[Source: World]: OVERLORD

[Flow Acceleration]: Increases the host's base physical constitution by 30% for a short period of time.

[Acquired skill: Fireball]

[Source World]: Warcraft

Fireball: Releases a powerful fireball.

King looked at the skills he had acquired and fell into thought. It seemed that the more reputation he invested, the more powerful the skills he would get.

"Is it because you went all in on 100 million reputation points during the day that you were able to acquire that powerful strength?"

King fell into thought. Since the more reputation he spent, the stronger the skill he gained, there was no need for him to exchange for the skill now. He might as well save it up and exchange it when he needed it later.

"Ah, never mind, I'm so tired!"

King closed the system interface, lay down on the bed, and fell fast asleep.

......

The next day, at 10 a.m.

King, who had planned to sleep until noon as usual, was woken up by a loud roar.

"Who is it? They won't let me get some rest!"

He sat up impatiently, about to scold him again, when a loud knock came at the door.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. King?"

The roaring sound gradually faded away, replaced by a deep male voice coming from outside the door.

King frowned slightly. He felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he stepped forward and opened the door.

Several figures appeared in front of him.
