The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

He now realized that he had completely underestimated the pain described in the skill description!

It hurts! It hurts!

Just as King was about to scream from the pain, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Teacher King, what are you doing?"

That voice belonged to Genos.

King clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, forcibly suppressing the urge to shout out.

"I... am taking a walk..."

At this moment, King's mind was filled with the word "pain," and he felt that even organizing his thoughts was difficult.

"What are you doing here...?"

As King spoke, a silent cry echoed in his heart:

Ouch! It hurts so much!

However, King's expression didn't change, as if nothing had happened.

"I saw you leave, teacher, and I was curious about what you were doing, so I followed you without permission."

Genos said honestly.

However, since King had only been there for a few seconds to conduct his skills test, Genos didn't see anything.

"I was just wandering around."

King immediately said that the pain had lessened considerably, but he still didn't want anyone around him to disturb him.

Genos paused slightly, wondering why King was out alone late at night.

Chapter 98: Detecting the Weakness, the Monster Association's All-Out Offensive

As Genos looked at King in front of him, a series of thoughts kept surfacing in his mind.

Teacher King must have been under too much pressure to go out for a walk alone at night!

After all, he bears the title of the strongest hero on Earth and is responsible for protecting the safety of the entire world.

If it weren't for Teacher King, I probably would have fallen to the Deep Sea King this morning.

I need to become stronger as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on my teachers!

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"

Genos bowed deeply to King, who looked completely bewildered.

What?

What is this guy saying?

"I'll go back first and prepare some hot water and a midnight snack for you, teacher!"

Genos wanted to reduce the pressure on King, so he rushed home as soon as he finished speaking, leaving King looking at his departing figure with a bewildered expression.

Although he had no idea what Genos was thinking, at least the other party had left, and he could continue his testing.

By the time King came to his senses, the pain had almost completely disappeared.

He recalled the pain he had just felt, and it seemed as if that pain was still faintly present.

"It really hurts... but it doesn't seem to last long, and it won't cause me any harm, it's just simple pain."

King lowered his head, looked at his hands, and muttered to himself,

"Even so, the physical exhaustion I suffered from the Divine Vision has indeed disappeared..."

As soon as the pain started, King's strength returned to normal, and he felt no fatigue at all.

Without a doubt, the recovery skill is truly a divine ability, allowing King to use Divine Vision without limit even at night.

If there were no pain...

The pain made King feel like he was living a life worse than death.

However, trading mere pain for unlimited stamina and regeneration is a very good deal for King.

Moreover, this pain will only remain as a sensation and will not cause any substantial damage to his body.

In other words, if King can endure the pain, then this skill is essentially without any side effects.

If it were the former King, it would be impossible for him to endure such pain; he would most likely have given up the first time he used this skill.

But the current King is a little different.

He knew he needed to further enhance his strength so that he could ensure he had enough power to deal with even stronger opponents in the future.

The possible forces among the eccentric individuals, and that mysterious organization...

Judging from the current situation, these forces seem to be eyeing human society with predatory intent.

If it were the old King, he would likely have simply ignored these situations; if it didn't concern him, he wouldn't have bothered with it.

However, after officially becoming a hero, King unknowingly shouldered the responsibilities of a hero.

Therefore, he needs to become stronger to deal with potential threats in the future.

What if the next monster possesses terrifying power?

What if they launch a surprise attack at night?

At this moment, King reached into his pocket and touched something soft and small. He took it out and saw that it was a teddy bear.

That was a gift from a little girl to King after he stopped the meteorite in Z City and saved the citizens.

For King or anyone else, this thing is utterly insignificant.

But for that little girl, this might be the most important thing she has.

King looked at the toy in his hand, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face, before putting the toy back in his pocket.

"Let's practice a little more."

King walked up to a nearly dead tree, wanting to test whether the healing skill could work on things other than humans.

"reply."

King reached out and gently touched the dying tree.

The old tree, which had lost even a single leaf and whose bark was almost falling off, gradually sprouted new buds. Its originally grayish bark turned back to its original dark brown color, and green leaves began to grow on its bare branches.

It worked!

It seems this skill can also restore plants.

Moreover, King did not feel any pain this time.

"Could it be... that the pain is related to the object from which the response is used?"

"If the target can feel pain, then I will feel the same pain."

"But if the target is something incapable of feeling pain, then I will not experience pain..."

With this tentative idea in mind, King conducted several more experiments and finally confirmed the correctness of the idea: the response was not only useful for living organisms, but also for non-living organisms.

Not only that, he conducted further tests and determined that the pain experienced during the recovery skill was also related to the state before recovery.

It can be said that the more severe the injury and the worse the condition of the person responding, the more intense the pain King feels.

This is also why King felt excruciating pain after using the recovery method on himself when he was physically exhausted and his body was extremely worn out.

"Let's try other effects next."

King wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself,

"This skill probably has a lot of uses that can be developed."

......

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Monster Association's base.

Genus, G5 Machine God, and Big Eye controlled by Sykes are discussing the implementation of the final plan.

"All members are ready."

Genus pushed up his glasses and said with a malicious smile,

"Now all the monsters in the association have been enhanced by me, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds."

"very good."

At this moment, Da Jiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze moved to the G5 machine god beside him.

The fact that Gyoro Gyoro was merely a puppet used by Psykos to control the Monster Association was unknown to both the association's executives and Genus.

Of everyone present, only it knew its true identity.

This made Sykes very curious about the organization behind the G5 Machine God.

What exactly are they?

And how did they manage to obtain high-level information about the Hero Association?

Could it be... that there's an organized mole within the Hero Association?

Sykes was unaware of the organization's true purpose and remained wary of the G5 Machine God, but at the moment, the organization was indeed an indispensable fighting force for them.

Monster Association, House of Evolution, Machine God Organization...

The three factions have different destinations, but they currently share a common goal.

Take care of King.

"This is the latest intelligence our organization has uncovered."

Just then, the G5 machine, which had been motionless to the side, spoke. The voice, generated by machinery and programming, was deep and cold.

"According to the data we intercepted, King's hero activities all took place during the daytime."

"In the Hero Association's database, King recorded zero monster kills after 0 PM."
