The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

"If possible, I request that Mr. King be the main force in this rescue operation."

"This operation is crucial and may require the deployment of most of our heroes."

"We have already given orders to the other heroes to assemble at headquarters and formulate a plan. In the meantime, Mr. King, please take a rest!"

"Ah."

King nodded. The Monster Association had just retreated and shouldn't launch another attack anytime soon. Genos hadn't returned yet, so they could rest for a while before the other heroes arrived.

He looked up at the time; it was 3:30 a.m. Although there was still some time before sunrise, at least the turmoil of the night was over.

But after daybreak, an even fiercer battle awaits them.

......

Around eight o'clock in the morning, the other heroes also arrived, and almost all the S-class heroes had returned.

Sitch immediately summoned all the S-class heroes to the conference room to discuss the next rescue plan.

Seats were reserved for every S-class hero in the conference room. Watchdog Man, who had been protecting Q City, was not present. Genos was still investigating the G5 Machine God within Dr. Kusno's group. Metal Knight and Blast were also absent.

"You guys are really pathetic, as S-class heroes, yet you let those monsters cause such enormous destruction."

In the conference room, Tornado used her superpowers to float slowly in the air, scanning the other heroes with a condescending gaze.

"Really? Then what did you do?"

Beside Tornado, Sweet Mask immediately mocked, "Although he's not an S-class hero, everyone in the association knows he has the strength of an S-class hero."

"Oh?"

Tornado's eyes narrowed slightly, and a green light emanated from her body, along with a terrifying killing intent that emanated from her.

"You S-class heroes are really incompetent. If it were me, I would never let this happen."

Sweet Mask not only showed no sign of backing down, but his gaze even swept over the other heroes, and as he spoke, one could clearly see the veins bulging from under his skin like worms.

Flashy Flash remained silent, but his face immediately darkened, and he subtly tightened his grip on his sword.

On the other side, Metal Bat had his feet on the table, his tone full of displeasure and anger:

"What did you say? Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death!"

"Put away your murderous intent."

The Atomic Samurai, standing to the side, held his sword and shook his head helplessly.

Saitama, now also an S-class hero, leaned back in his chair and yawned.

"Do you have tea?"

However, no one heard him, and the atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

"Everyone..."

Sitch tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, but the S-class heroes completely ignored his presence.

He felt incredibly helpless. Although these people were the pinnacle of the Hero Association, each of them had a completely different personality, making them difficult to reconcile and lacking in teamwork.

S-class heroes have never worked as a team, which is why Sitch is uneasy about this rescue operation that has not yet begun.

Just as the meeting room became noisy, the door was suddenly flung open, drawing everyone's attention.

King!

Upon seeing King's arrival, the previously boisterous heroes instantly fell silent.

Although they didn't respect each other, they all respected the same person—King.

Both Sweet Mask and Tornado highly acknowledge King's strength.

King holds the title of the strongest hero in the Hero Association, so when King arrived at the meeting room of the S-class heroes, it was like a homeroom teacher entering a classroom, and everyone quieted down.

Why is everyone looking at me?

Am I late...?

King noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. To avoid further embarrassment, he at least chose a seat closest to the door.

King's action surprised all the other heroes around him.

Because the spot where King was sitting was the spot that the Hero Association had reserved for Blast.

In this conference room, each hero was arranged in order of rank. As the former flagship figure of the Hero Association, he had always been regarded as the number one hero by the Hero Association.

King's seating in the spot that originally belonged to Demolitionist sparked various speculations among the other heroes.

That's the number one spot among S-class heroes!

King simply sat down on it. Was he implying that he was the number one hero in the Hero Association?

However, judging from his achievements over the past few years... King certainly deserves to be the chief hero.

Although he had made many contributions in the past, he disappeared several years ago and there has been no news of him engaging in heroic activities.

But King has already saved the people from suffering several times.

Although the heroes present were somewhat surprised by King's actions, none of them expressed any objection, as they all tacitly agreed that King was qualified to sit in this position.

However, King didn't actually think that much about it. He didn't even see the sign on the seat and just sat down.

"This time, we owe it all to Mr. King..."

Upon seeing King's arrival, Sitch immediately recounted King's achievements to the others.

"He not only eliminated countless powerful monsters, but also aided other heroes. When Mr. King returned to the association headquarters, he was covered in the blood of monsters."

"In the entire association, only King is doing the right thing!"

Tornado pouted slightly and said...

"Can't you guys learn from King?"

Tatsumaki highly acknowledges King's strength. She is arguably the most arrogant person in the entire Hero Association, and to this day, King is the only one who has earned Tatsumaki's recognition and respect.

Upon returning to the Hero Association, Tatsumaki immediately went to find Fubuki, as her biggest concern was for her younger sister's safety.

After seeing that Fubuki was unharmed, Tatsumaki finally felt relieved. After learning about King's actions from Fubuki, she couldn't help but marvel at King's strength.

As long as Fubuki stays by King's side, Tatsumaki will feel completely at ease.

"As expected of Mr. King!"

Sweet Mask, who was originally in a state of rage, immediately put on a smile. His face changed much faster than flipping through a book. His personality is similar to Tatsumaki's, and King is the only one in the entire Hero Association who can gain his approval.

Furthermore, Sweet Mask has always longed to mold King into his perfect hero.

The other heroes also nodded to King.

Sitch breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at King, who was the pillar of the entire Hero Association.

He is the most suitable leader among the S-class heroes.

The decision to have King join the Hero Association was absolutely the right one.

"Sich, tell me about the battle plan."

King turned his head and asked.

"oh oh!"

Only then did Sitch come to his senses and hurriedly say,

"Through our investigation and the tracking devices we secretly installed on the monsters, plus the monster prisoner that Mr. King brought back, we have located the Monster Association's hideout in the no-man's-land of Z City."

"In the no-man's-land of Z City?"

Metal Bat, one of the S-class heroes, was somewhat surprised and stood up abruptly from his seat.

"Didn't we already conduct an inspection of the no-man's-land?"

After King and the Fubuki crew encountered the heroes in the No Man's Land, he immediately reported the incident to the association, and Child Emperor and other heroes immediately went to Z City to investigate.

However, they did not find any results from their investigation at the time.

"Based on our speculation, their base is deep underground in the no-man's land, beyond our detection range, so we were unable to locate them the first time."

"Child Emperor explained."

"Our current plan is to gather heroes and head to the no-man's-land to rescue the sponsor's son..."

Sitch said, while shifting his gaze to Child Emperor.

"Child Emperor, are you able to contact Metal Knight?"

Sitch thought that with Metal Knight's help, their operation would be much easier, and Child Emperor had previously been Metal Knight's assistant.

"Unable to contact them at the moment."

Child Emperor shook his head.

Just then, the conference room door opened again, and a figure rushed in:

"Teacher King, we have the results of our investigation!"

The visitor was Genos. King had previously instructed him to take the head of the G5 Machine God back to Dr. Kusno to investigate information about the organization.

Chapter 103: Uncovering the Truth, Defeating the Metal Knight!

"Teacher King."

Genos walked in, greeted King, and then hurried in.

King noticed that Genos was holding the head of G5 Machine God in his left hand, the very head he had obtained after defeating it earlier.

His right hand was holding a special circuit board, one that King had never seen before.

"Cyborgs, what are the results of your investigation?"

Standing to the side, Sitch asked curiously, having previously heard from King that he had gone to investigate the Machine God organization.

Before the appearance of the G4 and G5 Machine Gods, there were precedents of mechanical monsters causing destruction, so the Hero Association was aware of the existence of the so-called 'Machine God Organization', but had not been able to find any information about them.

"We've found a very important lead."

As Genos spoke, he placed the circuit board he was holding on the table and said,
