The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

"Ahhhh!"

Just as the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was about to launch a desperate attack, a gust of wind swept by, and King instantly appeared in front of the beetle.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle possesses keen biological intuition. The moment it came into contact with King, it felt the aura of death completely enveloping it like a mist.

It wanted to escape, but the intense fear made its legs feel like lead, and it couldn't move an inch.

"The Holy Lance Escanor".

King transformed his right index finger into a finger gun and thrust it directly at the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

He concentrated magic at his fingertips, enveloping them in flames, transforming his fingers into an incredibly terrifying weapon.

The purple shell of the Asura rhinoceros beetle is incredibly hard, far exceeding that of steel.

But compared to Escanor's power, it was utterly insignificant.

The intense heat melted the object before King's finger gun even hit it, allowing King to pour his sun-like power directly into it and unleash it with a vengeance.

boom!

With another loud bang, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle exploded, its green blood gushing out and seeping into the cracks in the ground.

King immediately stopped using his power. Although the pain didn't cause any side effects on his body, it was indeed very uncomfortable.

Ouch, that hurts!

It seems we should really try to avoid fighting at night...

There shouldn't be any weirdos around here...

Meanwhile, Atomic Samurai looked at the mangled corpse of the Asura Rhino Beetle on the ground and sighed deeply.

Although he wasn't in top condition for the fight, there was no doubt that Ashura Rhino Beetle was an extremely troublesome monster, far stronger than any monster Atomic Samurai had ever encountered before. If the fight continued, he would only face certain death.

Yet even such an oddball couldn't withstand a single blow from King.

Who is the real monster...?

Before meeting King, Atomic Samurai always considered himself a very powerful being. Thinking back to the time when he challenged King to a duel, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, realizing how arrogant he had been.

Fortunately, King is on the side of humanity.

"Let's go and see if anyone else needs help."

King turned his head slightly and spoke to Atomic Samurai.

It was only at this moment that Atomic Samurai realized that he had unknowingly sat on the ground.

"Ok!"

Atomic Samurai raised his head, his gaze towards King filled with awe and reverence.

......

After defeating the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, King and Atomic Samurai, following instructions from the Association headquarters, went to support many other heroes.

After a short rest, Atomic Samurai had recovered a lot of his strength, and the remaining monsters rampaging in City A were basically nobodies and posed no threat. King no longer needed to use the power of the Sin of Pride.

The battle in the dead of night caught the heroes off guard, and with so many monsters, they were overwhelmed and unable to cope. But when they saw Atomic Samurai and King arrive, it was like seeing their saviors.

After an hour or two, the strange people in City A were basically wiped out.

“Mr. King, the weirdos here have basically been wiped out.”

Atomic Samurai walked up to King and spoke respectfully, as if King were his superior.

"Ah."

King nodded, looking behind him. The other heroes they had rescued earlier had formed a team and were following King.

"Let's head back to the Hero Association headquarters first."

......

Inside the Monster Association's base.

At this moment, Genus is repeatedly watching the scene of King fighting against the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"I never imagined that my masterpiece couldn't even withstand a single blow...?"

Genus created Rhinoceros Beetle Ashura, knew its strength, and further enhanced it using the Monster Association's technology, believing that even if Rhinoceros Beetle Ashura was no match for King, it should still be able to hold its own for a few rounds.

However, to his surprise, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle couldn't even withstand a single attack.

Moreover, it had already entered Asura mode...

This King's strength is terrifying.

"It seems G5's analysis was wrong~"

From the side, Sykes, controlling Big Eyes, spoke.

Initially, G5 Machine God used King's record of killing monsters to deduce that the opponent's power might be related to time, but that was just a guess without any evidence.

At least for now, King has no weaknesses whatsoever.

"That so-called Machine God organization is really unreliable."

"Psykos said, turning to look into the association's hall. G5 Machine God hadn't returned yet, so it was probably destroyed. Most of the Monster Association's main members had already returned to their base."

Their operation this time is not about deciding the outcome in one fell swoop, but about making the Hero Association lose focus on one thing at a time.

Chapter 102: As the Expected Leader Among S-Class Heroes

Most importantly, it was to keep King in check.

While G5's previous speculation about King wasn't very credible, it was certainly worth a try, so Psykos dispatched Awakened Cockroach and other monsters to the area.

For the Monster Association now, even though their strength has greatly improved, they are ultimately just tools that can be discarded.

"But we still have the initiative."

Sykes spoke slowly, her tone rising with a hint of a smile.

Although the Machine God Organization did not provide them with any military assistance, the intelligence they provided was very important. Now, the son of the Hero Association's sponsor has become a prisoner of the Monster Association.

In this way, all the heroes of the Hero Association will be restrained by Psykos.

Because this child is someone the Hero Association has no choice but to rescue.

During this time, Sykes can set up a perfect trap and wait for the heroes to walk into it.

"We still have a trump card to use."

1,500 meters underground, Sykes, who controlled the Great Eye, smiled slightly.

......

Before long, King led the other heroes back to the Hero Association headquarters.

The Hero Association is the safest place in City A. In addition to the heroes, there are also dedicated security teams and mercenaries, so it is very safe and no monsters have come to attack it.

After King and the others pushed open the door, they were greeted by Sitch and the other executives who rushed over to welcome them.

King saw that Sitch and the others were also covered in sweat. As association officers, they were also responsible for dispatching heroes from various places and commanding the battles on the spot, so they were just as busy as the heroes.

Even the officers are just cogs in the giant machine that is the Hero Association.

Those so-called high-ranking officials were nowhere to be found in this critical moment.

"Mr. King!"

Sitch quickly walked up to King and said that he had noticed King's clothes were covered in dirt.

What's on your clothes?

"Oh, it's all the blood of weirdos."

King looked down at his clothes and said calmly.

As he said, his clothes were stained with the blood of other monsters, and even different colored liquids had almost completely soaked into them.

"Has Mr. King been fighting all along...?"

Sitch couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart filled with respect for King.

"Thanks to King, otherwise I probably would have died there too."

Atomic Samurai leaned against the wall and spoke slowly.

Sitch turned his head slightly and looked at the large number of heroes behind King, all of whom King had rescued.

If King hadn't been there, they probably would have suffered heavy losses as well.

It's all thanks to King.

"Mr. King, please change your clothes first."

Sitch immediately said,

"Other S-class heroes are also on their way."

......

In no time, King changed into a brand new set of clothes, and Sitch was explaining the current situation to him.

"All cities have just been attacked by the Monster Association, but the outer edges of City A were the most severely affected, while the scale of the attacks on other cities was within an acceptable range."

"From the current perspective, this organization that calls itself the Monster Association seems to have already withdrawn."

"But the Monster Association has captured the son of a very important sponsor of the Hero Association, and we must rescue him..."

Sitch said urgently.

"A rescue operation?"

King straightened his collar and asked.

Is that person important to the Hero Association?

"That's right. They provide a significant portion of the sponsorship to the Hero Association. If they lose their support, the association's cash flow will be severely damaged."

Sitch said with a serious expression,
