The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

"Annihilate me?"

A hint of confusion appeared on Sykes's face. She was just a C-rank hero, so why would she become the target of the other party?

Is it because of his previous encounter with the G4 machine god?

"I... I'm just a C-rank hero..."

Sykes feigned fear, even trembling as she spoke.

Do you know how heinous a crime it is to attack a hero?!

"Enough with the nonsense!"

G5 roared and immediately drew its sword, unleashing a swift slash that whistled through the air like the howl of a wild beast.

This move is extremely fast, and most people simply cannot dodge it.

Sykes reacted quickly, immediately leaning back and demonstrating a flexibility that most people could not achieve, thus dodging the opponent's attack.

On the wall behind her, at the same height as Sykes's neck, a horrific slit was simultaneously carved.

Sykes immediately realized that the guy in front of her really wanted to kill her.

Moreover, the G5 machine god is not weak; it far surpasses the G4 machine god in strength.

Just as Sykes was thinking, G5 swung its blade again, faster than before, tearing the edges of her clothes.

It seems I can no longer hold back.

At that moment, Sykes's expression changed. The timid and fearful look she had just had disappeared, replaced by a sharp, blade-like gaze that pierced through her glasses and landed on G5. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, carrying a hint of evil and temptation.

Sykes seems like a completely different person now.

At this moment, the speed of G5's slash was further improved, becoming twice as fast as the first slash.

"This strike will annihilate you."

G5's tone was icy cold, like the winter wind.

But just as it swung its blade, the G5 Machine God stood frozen in place, its raised blade suspended in mid-air.

The robot's internal joints made a crisp sound as it desperately tried to swing the knife down, but it couldn't move an inch.

This is precisely because of Sykes' superpowers.

Psykos is actually very strong. Although she has been hiding her strength and is ranked among the C-class heroes, she is, after all, the founder of the Monster Association and has the strength of a Dragon.

No matter how strong the G5 Machine God is, it ultimately cannot surpass the power of the Demon level.

"is it?"

"You want to eliminate me?"

"How arrogant!"

Sykes pushed up her glasses, her tone rising as she slowly walked in front of the G5 machine god. Her sharp high heels made a crisp sound on the ground, and her whole demeanor was like that of a venomous snake.

Who exactly are you?

"Are you so eager to pry into my secrets?"

I'll find you!

Sykes spoke slowly in front of the G5 machine god, her warm breath brushing against its metal armor, creating a faint mist.

"So you were hiding your strength all along?"

G5 said slowly.

"I never expected someone like you to have infiltrated the Hero Association."

"Speak, what is your purpose?"

Sykes said with a smile.

With Sykes's power, she could easily crush the G5 machine god in front of her into a meat patty with her superpowers. However, Sykes knew that the other party was a member sent by the organization, and she was very interested in this organization and wanted to know what kind of background the other party had.

At the same time, Sykes also wanted to know if this organization could be used by her.

If the organization's technology is advanced enough, Sykes could consider bringing it under her wing to keep King in check.

No amount of manpower and resources is too much when it comes to dealing with King.

"You must have some weird organization behind you."

G5 said this, which piqued Sykes' interest.

Did the organization manage to find out his identity?

You did not answer my question.

As Sykes spoke, her right fist clenched slightly, and the superpower pressing down on the G5 Machine God became even more intense. Its originally hard shell shrank like a piece of paper and folded open, making a crisp sound.

"Your goal must be King, right?"

The sound emitted by the G5 machine god through its mechanical device was incredibly cold, devoid of any emotion.

It was a robot dispatched by Metal Knight.

Although Metal Knight was already suspicious of Psykos, he didn't have any concrete evidence, so he chose to use this tactic to forcefully test Psykos's identity.

In order to fully probe the other party's identity, Metal Knight was instructed to use G5 Machine God to attack directly, which is why the latter attacked so fiercely.

If Sykes is hiding her true strength as Metal Knight expected, then she will definitely be able to dodge G5 Machine God's attack.

If not...

Without a doubt, Sykes will be killed by G5.

However, Metal Knight didn't care about whether the other party lived or died. He only cared about whether Psykos had concealed her identity. He didn't care about anything else. Even if Psykos was really killed, it would only prove to Metal Knight that she didn't have a special identity.

Psykos's death will be blamed on the so-called organization, and Metal Knight will not be implicated at all.

This was Metal Knight's plan.

Now that Sykes' identity has been exposed, Metal Knight is preparing to move on to the next step of his plan—to unite with other forces to weaken King.

For Metal Knight, King is an uncontrollable and extremely dangerous being.

In King's eyes, neither Tatsumaki nor the Monster Association are within his reach. Once King is dealt with, it's not too late to deal with the Monster Association later.

However, at present, Metal Knight's most important task is to unite with the monster organization.

"Oh?"

Sykes's upturned lips became even more pronounced.

“Go on.”

“Our organization can join forces with you to deal with King.”

G5 said slowly.

"What are your reasons? And why should I believe you?"

Sykes asked, squinting.

“King is a huge threat to us and must be eliminated.”

G5 continued.

"In exchange, I can hand over the intelligence our organization has obtained to you."

Sykes snapped her fingers, stopping the force applied to the G5 Machine God, who then took out a small USB drive and handed it to Sykes.

"This contains the addresses of some of the Hero Association's high-ranking members, as well as their recent schedules."

"If we could take these high-ranking officials hostage, it would probably be able to restrain the actions of the association and King."

"Whether it's real or fake, you'll find out once you try it."

Sykes took the USB drive, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

"Welcome to the Monster Association."

......

Night had fallen, and Fubuki was already asleep, while King secretly slipped out the door.

He wants to conduct further experiments on the skills he just acquired today.

King arrived at a deserted forest and immediately activated Divine Vision.

Blood-red lines appeared in his eyes, and he immediately began to use the high-speed movement he had learned from Flashy Flash.

This method of movement is much faster than that of Gale and Blaze before—

It also consumes more physical energy.

It's almost midnight now, and King's strength isn't much greater than that of an ordinary person.

People like Flashy Flash, who come from ninja villages, have undergone hellish training from a young age to learn such techniques.

During the daytime, King can freely use this move to move at high speed.

King's body quickly gave out, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Sweat poured from his forehead, and his muscles began to spasm.

This is a great opportunity to use the 'Reply' skill!

King immediately reached out and placed his hand on his chest:

"reply!"

Immediately, a power like a spring flowed into his body, sweeping away his previous fatigue.

Just as described in the skill description, my condition has been fully restored!

This means that King can use his Aura of Disorientation without limit, even in the dark!

Before King could feel happy, an unbearable pain suddenly struck!

It was as if a tremendous pressure was pressing down on King, almost crushing all the bones in his body and piercing his skin. Fine beads of sweat seeped from King's forehead.

King had never experienced such pain before!
