The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

Elder Centipede said that this was undoubtedly a very serious injury, but not fatal.

Because Elder Centipede possesses the ability to molt and regenerate, as long as he can complete the molting process, he can repair all injuries and even allow his body to undergo further evolution.

He once used this ability to escape with his life from the bomber's men.

But even with such abilities, Elder Centipede no longer has the resources to continue fighting. He now realizes how arrogant his previous remarks were.

Why does King possess such terrifying strength?

Is this guy a monster?

Were the other four people killed by this guy?

In the eyes of a strange man like Elder Centipede, King seemed to be the real monster.

"no....."

"I have no chance of winning..."

"We must retreat first..."

Having witnessed King's power, Elder Centipede had lost all will to fight and now only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Enduring the pain of being cut in half, it leaped into the air and burrowed towards the ground.

Once it can burrow underground, Elder Centipede can easily escape to depths of over a thousand meters, making it impossible for the Hero Association to track it down.

Then all you have to do is wait for your skin to shed and regenerate. At that time, your injuries will be healed and your strength will be enhanced!

The once incredibly hard ground was as fragile as paper in front of Elder Centipede, and just a few seconds after it burrowed into the ground, it found itself unable to move an inch.

It was as if an invisible hand was holding it firmly.

"W-what happened?"

Elder Centipede's heart pounded faster, the sound of his enormous heart exploding like a series of hand grenades.

Above the ground, a deep and cold voice slowly rose:

Did I give you permission to leave?

"Having caused such extensive damage, isn't it a bit unreasonable to try and escape?"

"At least we should have a proper discussion about compensation."

It is King!

Just as Elder Centipede was about to escape, King grabbed its broken body and stopped it in its tracks.

He held the centipede elder's legs, each as large as an adult, under his arm. The sharp blades and hard shells could easily tear through steel.

However, they could not harm King's tough body.

It was now nearly noon, and King's power was approaching its peak with each passing second.

Even the Centipede Elder, who was using all his strength, could not break free from his grasp.

In mid-air, countless helicopters were circling overhead. On the helicopters, cameramen from various television stations were watching their cameras, aiming at King's location, and reporters were enthusiastically explaining the current battle situation.

The whole world is watching King fight the monster.

Elder Centipede still hasn't given up. The feeling of impending death has only fueled its immense power. It twists its massive body with a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble, causing the ground to tremble violently throughout the area. The entire block seems poised to sink into the ground at any moment.

The surrounding ruins began to collapse, and countless boulders and bricks fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The ground beneath King's feet sank into the ground.

King's face remained expressionless, as if the centipede elder's struggles were meaningless.

"You've gone a little too far."

King said calmly.

Suddenly, he changed his actions, reaching out and grabbing the centipede elder's torso. His fingers plunged deep into the centipede elder's body, its hard shell appearing incredibly fragile in King's presence.

"Come out here."

King lowered his center of gravity and then suddenly lifted up.

The ground tremors became more intense.

Elder Centipede was dragged directly out from under the ground!

Chapter 74: Grace, bestowing upon you despair that seeps into your very bones

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Elder Centipede's screams echoed in the air, the loud sound almost shaking the ground and making it clearly audible to people in the surrounding streets.

Although half of its body was broken off, the centipede elder's body was still over a thousand meters long, making everyone appear very small in its presence.

Even with such a massive body, Elder Centipede was easily pulled from the ground by King and lifted high into the air.

Its body trembled violently as if it had been electrocuted, trying to break free from King's restraints.

In an instant, the earth shook violently, and even people at great distances could clearly feel the tremors, as if the world was being torn apart.

But it still didn't work.

It was almost noon by then, and King's strength was nearing its peak.

To Elder Centipede, King's arm was like a towering mountain pressing down on it, making escape impossible.

No matter how huge their size, it was still useless in front of King.

Elder Centipede was at its wit's end, now in a more desperate situation than ever before.

Previously, when it faced the S-class number one hero, Blast, it was once brought to the brink of death.

After years of dormancy and countless molts, Elder Centipede has achieved a qualitative leap in strength. Its reason for joining the Monster Association is to seek revenge on Blast. It now believes that it has enough power to back it up.

But it didn't expect King's strength to be so terrifying.

Four Dragon-level monsters have already died at King's hands, and now Elder Centipede feels utterly hopeless.

Previously, it could at least find a glimmer of hope, but now, in this situation, Elder Centipede could find no possibility of escape.

"The centipede leaps and tumbles!"

It had no choice but to go all in, and its body shook even more violently, with every corner of the city feeling the intense tremors, just like an earthquake.

Every scale on Elder Centipede's body collided with each other, producing a sound like a mountain collapsing.

King, however, stared expressionlessly at the giant beast before him.

"Please be quiet."

As King spoke, he channeled magic into the palms of his hands, and blazing flames gradually formed.

At this moment, King's finger pierced through Elder Centipede's armor, and the flames could directly penetrate Elder Centipede's body!

The centipede elder's entire body was, to King now, a piece of dry tinder that could be ignited at any time.

Even through the thick shell, Elder Centipede could clearly feel an unbearable burning sensation coming from the part that King's fingers were gripping.

In the next instant, King amplified his magical output, and flames began to spread from the centipede elder's body.

The flames raged wildly within its body, devouring the centipede elder's internal organs. No matter how tough its armor was, it could not protect its internal organs.

The unbearable pain caused Elder Centipede to curl up in agony, letting out a bloodcurdling scream.

The instant it opened its mouth, flames burst forth, like a demon possessing a body and beginning to search for its next host.

The flames instantly engulfed the centipede elder's entire body, even turning its originally dark black carapace crimson.

A sea of ​​fire stretched across the sky, with raging waves of flame appearing one after another, seemingly trying to swallow the heavens whole. Below the sea of ​​fire, smoke billowed, like thick, smoky clouds of May descending to the ground.

"Oh my god..."

"That giant centipede monster was instantly killed by King!"

"No wonder he's known as the strongest man on Earth!"

Directly above the battlefield, the media reporters broadcasting the battle live were stunned by what they had just witnessed. After a few seconds of stunned silence, they remembered that they needed to provide live commentary.

They were also filled with shock.

Every strange character that appeared before undoubtedly possessed terrifying power.

Even so, they were still unable to overcome the existence of King.

King is just too powerful.

The surrounding crowd and heroes also began to cheer, shouting King's name.

Sweet Mask watched King's figure from afar and nodded. The power that King displayed was astonishing.

Sweet Mask knew that King possessed unparalleled power, but he never imagined that King's power was far greater than he had imagined.

When fighting against monsters like the Ugly President, Sweet Mask didn't even have a chance to fight back; he was basically just a spectator from beginning to end.

Faced with such a pincer attack, even an S-class hero would likely be unable to escape unscathed.

"really....."

"King is the true, perfect hero..."

"That kind of magnificent power..."

Sweet Mask's resolve to mold King into the perfect hero only grew stronger.

"As expected of King..."

Fubuki looked at King, her fists clenching involuntarily. Deep down, she longed to possess the same strength as King.

Behind Fubuki, Sykes pursed her lips.

Seeing how King had just eliminated five of the Monster Association's main forces, Psykos became even more wary of his existence.

Although Psykos already knew that King was very strong, she was still incredibly shocked after witnessing King kill Elder Centipede and Homeless Emperor.

Judging from King's current performance, even if all the executives of the Monster Association joined forces, they might not be his match.

King's strength is outrageously powerful.

At this moment, Sykes couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration, because of King, the plan that Sykes had spent years preparing was now completely impossible to implement.
