The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

The woman's tone was very agitated, and her voice even trembled slightly.

King slightly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the other person.

"You are... Mosquito Woman?"

King vaguely recognized the girl's appearance; she was the same girl he had bumped into yesterday.

At this moment, Mosquito Girl changed into a new long dress, her face beaming with a joyful smile.

She was acting on Kinos's orders to continue getting close to King in order to obtain more intelligence.

Although this could be considered the third time Mosquito Girl and King had met, Mosquito Girl still harbored deep fear of King.

Mosquito Girl wore a joyful smile, but inside she was incredibly panicked.

"I am truly grateful to Lord King for yesterday; I owe you so much for saving me..."

"I was so scared yesterday that I didn't have a chance to thank you in person, Lord King..."

"If it weren't for Lord King, I would probably be dead by now..."

This was the explanation that Genos had prepared for Mosquito Girl in advance.

"There's no need to thank me for this."

Just after Mosquito Girl finished speaking, King said calmly, his expressionless face revealing no emotion.

"That weirdo was coming for me anyway, and defeating him is nothing to brag about."

"And how did you find me?"

King asked, "It's too much of a coincidence to run into this person two days in a row."

“I happen to work in this area.”

Mosquito Girl immediately explained.

While King was speaking, Sykes looked at Mosquito Girl with a curious expression.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Because Sykes could sense that the seemingly charming woman in front of her was not an ordinary person, but a strange person.

Over the past few years, Sykes has invented monster cells that can transform ordinary people into monsters, so she understands monsters better than others.

The mosquito woman in front of her exuded an air of eccentricity, which piqued her interest.

Why would a strange person approach King?

interesting.

What is her purpose?

Could it be...

Sykes had a certain suspicion in her mind, but she did not reveal that the Mosquito Woman in front of her was a weirdo.

Revealing this would not do me any good; on the contrary, it would easily arouse King's suspicion.

Sykes's gaze passed through his glasses and landed on Mosquito Woman, filled with a meaningful look.

"Huh? Is that King?"

"It really does seem to be King!"

"Lord King, could you please sign some autographs for us?"

Because Mosquito Girl's voice was so loud, the other customers in the restaurant all turned their attention to her.

"Hey."

King sighed, then stood up.

"Let's go, we're almost done eating."

"Ok!"

Sykes nodded and followed King as they prepared to leave the hotel.

"Lord King!"

Seeing King preparing to leave, Mosquito Girl quickly followed.

"Sorry, you are free to do what you want, but please don't interfere with our heroic activities."

Just as Mosquito Girl took a step, King turned his head slightly and said to her.

Mosquito Girl stood there, somewhat dazed, unsure how to respond. The pressure King exerted on her was simply too intense, and the words she had prepared in her mind had completely dissipated.

By the time she realized what was happening, King, Sykes, and the others were already far away.

Mosquito Girl pursed her lips. Although her mission was to get close to King and obtain information about him, she knew that she couldn't rush things.

If his identity as a weirdo is exposed, the consequences will likely be dire.

Mosquito Girl didn't want to fight a monster like King... there was no chance of winning.

"Let's go back and report today's events to Dr. Genus."

Mosquito Girl quickly left the restaurant and disappeared into the crowd.

Behind her, in mid-air, a small fleshy growth gradually formed, with only a pair of wings and a bloodshot eye on it. It flew in mid-air, and no one noticed its presence.

Chapter 87: A Team of Eccentrics, An Unprecedented Enemy

In a secret, unknown base, Genos, who had just arrived, was talking to someone.

It was an old man dressed in white with an incongruous mushroom haircut—Kusno.

He is Genos's savior and the super scientist who transformed Genos into his current form. In terms of science and technology alone, Kusno is no less capable than Metal Knight.

"Doctor, I encountered two extremely powerful beings yesterday."

At this moment, Genos had just defeated several monsters with Fubuki. Afterwards, in order to repair and maintain her mechanical body, she returned to the base and told Kuseno, whom she regarded as a father figure, about the recent events.

"Among them is King, who is known as the strongest man on Earth. I am now his apprentice."

"And Doctor, I want to become stronger!"

"Doctor, I believe my current abilities are still far from sufficient."

"Although I have become an S-class hero, I am not even qualified to compare with King."

Genos spoke to Dr. Kusno with a serious expression.

He had always longed to find the murderer who destroyed his homeland, and at the same time hoped to improve his strength. After witnessing King's powerful strength, Genos realized his own 'weakness' even more deeply.

"Moreover... the difference between me and King is not just in strength."

"Whether it's combat skills or the choice of combat strategies, I'm far from adequate."

"I only realized this yesterday when I was sparring with King in some way."

The sparring that Genos was referring to was the sparring he had with King in the game yesterday.

In order to play the game openly and legitimately, King claimed that the game could improve his combat strategies and skills, and easily crushed Genos.

This left a deep impression on Genos, one he could never forget.

"is it?"

Kusno was slightly surprised, as he had also heard of King, the strongest hero on Earth.

"That's right. King uses a special software that allows him to fight against others while limiting his own power, thereby honing his combat skills."

Genos replied,

“I have benefited greatly from being with King.”

"It seems that King is not only a hero with outstanding strength, but also an excellent teacher."

Dr. Kusno nodded and said,

"By the way, Genos, I happen to be researching a machine that allows different people to engage in simulated combat."

"Did the professor actually invent something like this?"

A joyful smile gradually appeared on Genos's face.

"Hmm, Genos, you can take this machine with you. You can use it for training. Your Hero Association might also find it useful."

Kusno smiled and patted Genos on the shoulder.

"If I have the chance, I'd also like to meet King."

"I want to see just how powerful King really is."

......

Several hours later, Mosquito Girl had left the city and arrived in a suburb where there was no one around—that was where the House of Evolution was located.

Just then, the Mosquito Woman suddenly stopped, her expression becoming extremely serious:

"How long are you going to follow me on this journey?"

Mosquito Woman's words suddenly turned cold, and in the next instant, her body began to deform. A pair of insect-shaped wings as thin as cicada wings extended from her back, her skirt was torn apart, and in its place were a pair of grotesque legs that bent backward below the knees. Several blood-red lines also appeared on her originally exquisite face.

This is the true form of Mosquito Woman, a powerful monster created by the House of Evolution.

Her wings suddenly began to flap rapidly, so fast that only double images could be seen. In the next instant, the Mosquito Woman leaped high into the air, reached out and grabbed a fleshy lump in her hand.

Mosquito Girl lowered her head slightly and looked at the fleshy tumor in her hand, on which an eye stared back at her.

"Do you think you've hidden it well enough?"

"My children already know you're here!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Mosquito Girl looked at the fleshy growth in her hand with a smile and said that at the same time, countless mosquitoes gathered together beside her, forming a black veil that draped over her body.

"Are you really a weirdo?"

Just then, the fleshy growth in the Mosquito Woman's hand made a sound, though there was a hint of amusement in its voice.

"Great, I am not your enemy."
