The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

Fubuki said, somewhat absentmindedly.

She only now realized that, in every field, King seemed to be far superior to her.

"Shall we continue?"

King turned his head and asked.

No, that's not necessary.

Fubuki shook her head like a metronome.

"I'm going to rest now, goodnight!"

......

The next morning, King and Fubuki were preparing to head out to explore the uninhabited area of ​​Z City again, and King hoped to take this opportunity to encounter more Dragon-level monsters to further increase his reputation points.

Now he can gain over a million reputation points every day without doing anything. If he defeats a few more Dragon-level monsters, he will probably be able to accumulate another 100 million points, which will give King the qualification to draw skills again.

The first one was the Escanor template, and King already knew its power.

So what skill will it be the second time?

King couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"Let's go."

"That's what Fubuki said."

After learning about the uninhabited area in Z City yesterday, the Hero Association dispatched heroes there to investigate, so it is much safer than before.

Just as the two of them left their house, a familiar figure ran over quickly.

"Lord King!"

Hearing the shouts, King slightly raised his head and looked over. A woman was running over quickly.

Sykes.

However, Sykes had changed her clothes. She had replaced her previous white dress with more form-fitting clothes that perfectly accentuated her figure.

"Sydkes?"

Upon seeing Sykes' arrival, Fubuki frowned slightly.

What are you doing here?

"I want to help Lord King!"

Sykes moved closer to King and said, her eyes casting a slightly ambiguous gaze on him.

"Sykes, you're not a hero, these things have nothing to do with you!"

Fubuki immediately said seriously that she had no good feelings towards Sykes as she was now.

King could smell the perfume emanating from Sykes; it was very strong.

"Sorry, I don't need your help."

King turned to Sykes and slowly said...

"Then I'll just follow behind you, King, and I won't do anything!"

Sykes spoke with a hint of playfulness, tilting her head slightly as she looked at King.

That's your own freedom.

King replied that he wouldn't care what others did as long as it didn't concern him.

Upon hearing King's words, Sykes's face immediately lit up with a smile. Now she could legitimately follow behind King.

Seeing this, Fubuki didn't say anything and went to Z City with King.

......

More than an hour later, King, Fubuki, and the others returned to Z City, where countless heroes had already gathered.

Child Emperor, the sixth-ranked S-class hero, was currently controlling several massive mechanical devices to clear away the wreckage of yesterday's battle in Z City. Most of the other S-class heroes were also present.

There was a large pool of blood on the ground, which was where Haojie's body was originally stored. However, Haojie's body had now been taken away by Metal Knight Bofoi for research.

"This strange person is incredibly powerful..."

Child Emperor turned his head and looked at the crack in the ground. After some calculation, he quickly realized that it was caused by the monster that King had eliminated yesterday.

This level of destructive power definitely possesses the strength of a dragon.

Even with such immense power, this Dragon-level monster was still instantly killed by King.

The king's power is truly awe-inspiring.

"Child Emperor, what are the results of the investigation?"

Just then, King walked up to Child Emperor and slowly asked.

"King, King!"

Child Emperor, who had been somewhat distracted, was startled by King's words.

"The uninhabited area in Z City has been almost completely destroyed, and after investigation, there are no suspicious signs."

"is it?"

King stretched out his finger and gently stroked his chin.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Sykes, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation and a smile secretly crept onto her face.

Yesterday, she ordered the Monster Association headquarters to be moved to a lower location and destroyed all traces of their past activities, making it extremely difficult for the Hero Association to find out about their existence.

Just then, a handsome man strode up to King's side:

"Mr. King, are you available now?"

King turned his head slightly and looked at that person.

Sweet Mask.

King had some doubts. Besides being a hero, Sweet Mask was also the most popular idol in the world, spending far more time on his idol schedule than on hero activities.

But Sweet Mask has come to Z City today. Given his personality, he shouldn't be participating in these hero activities.

This reminded King of the previous martial arts tournament, where Sweet Mask had also been present.

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

King was puzzled; it seemed the other party had come to him for some purpose.

"what happened?"

King asked calmly.

"I just want to talk to you, Mr. King, alone."

Sweet Mask wore a smile, while Child Emperor looked somewhat surprised.

In his eyes, Sweet Mask is not a very friendly person, and his relationship with heroes is very strained. Even S-class heroes are not given any face by him.

However, Sweetheart was unusually polite and friendly to King.

Meanwhile, Fubuki, upon seeing Sweet Mask arrive, couldn't help but purse her lips.

Chapter 63: The Attitude Gap, An Invitation from Sweet Mask

The reason why Fubuki remained at the top of Class B, besides wanting to surpass her older sister Tatsumaki in some way, was also because of Sweet Mask.

She had witnessed Sweet Mask's power before; he was practically no different from a monster.

Because of Sweet Mask, other A-class heroes are unable to advance to S-class. Even Atomic Samurai's three disciples, despite their exceptional strength, cannot move an inch from the second, third, or fourth positions in A-class.

Therefore, in Fubuki's mind, Sweet Mask has always been a monster-like existence.

But the monster was very respectful in front of King.

"Shouldn't the primary task now be investigating the uninhabited areas of Z City?"

At this moment, King said calmly, not knowing what Sweet Mask wanted to do, so he asked.

But in Child Emperor's eyes, King's answer seemed to show no respect for Sweet Mask. If it were the old Sweet Mask, he would probably have been furious.

Meanwhile, Sweet Mask maintained his polite smile, his gaze fixed on King's face:

"This investigation can be left to Child Emperor and the other heroes; we are not needed here."

Sweet Mask's tone remained perfectly polite, seemingly without any emotional fluctuation.

"Furthermore, I have something very important to tell Mr. King. If possible, I would like to ask Mr. King to spare some time from his busy schedule."

Hearing Sweet Mask's words, King, though confused, finally nodded.

"Ah."

......

Sweet Mask led King away from the no-man's-land, while King remained curious about what Sweet Mask wanted to see him about.

King had also heard about Sweet Mask's deeds in the Hero Association. He had a terrible relationship with the other heroes, but seemed very friendly to him. This made King very curious about what Sweet Mask was thinking.

As soon as they stepped out of the no-man's-land, Sweet Mask took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on to avoid being recognized by other passersby.

Judging solely from popularity, Sweet Mask is undoubtedly number one in the entire Hero Association.

King silently put his hood on as well.

"Sweet Mask, King, please get in the car."

A black luxury car pulled up in front of King and Sweet Mask. The driver, dressed in a black suit, got out and opened the car door for King and Sweet Mask.

King couldn't help but recall the appearance of Yamaju and Eyelash from the Fubuki Group. Although they wore similar clothes and did the same work, their skills and demeanor were quite different from those of Sweet Mask's subordinates.

Even setting aside his identity as a hero, Sweet Mask is a figure with immense influence in society, capable of interfering with the Hero Association's internal decisions and wielding enormous power. His subordinates are naturally rigorously selected and trained, completely unlike the Fubuki Group, who are all show and no substance.

Moreover, the luxury cars rented by the Fubuki Group looked rather cheap compared to Sweet Mask's ride.
