The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

"This is the core that Dr. Kusno extracted from the body of this mechanical monster, and he also discovered the video recording inside."

As Genos spoke, he took a USB drive out of his pocket and plugged it into the computer in the conference room.

After bringing the unconscious Do-S to the Hero Association headquarters, Genos immediately returned to Kusno's base with the head of G5 Machine God to investigate information about G5 Machine God.

The screen gradually lit up, and everyone's eyes turned to it.

That was a recording inside G5 Machine God's body, essentially recording everything it experienced, did, and heard after it was activated, including its actions within the Monster Association. The Hero Association members could also use this opportunity to learn about the internal structure of the Monster Association's base.

"The person who wrote this robot program is an extremely capable individual. It took Dr. Kusno several hours to break through the program lock it set up in order to retrieve the video recording."

Genos said, while speeding up the playback to show the most important parts.

Although the video inside the G5 Machine God is very long, Genos himself is a cyborg with a mechanical eye, which allows him to see the contents of the video clearly even when it is played at extremely high speed. He also edited the video, but the length of the video is still as long as an hour.

"Isn't it just the Monster Association and the Machine God Organization? There's also a force called the House of Evolution that's colluding with them."

The sexy prisoner frowned slightly; it had taken him a month to fully recover from the severe injuries he sustained in the battle with the Deep Sea King.

"Are these monsters really that numerous and terrifying?"

Looking at the densely packed monsters in the Monster Association base on the screen, Tanktop Master, one of the S-class heroes, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He had also fought monsters last night, but their numbers and strength were no match for King's.

The others immediately realized that the monsters sent out by the Monster Association yesterday were only a part of it.

"The most noteworthy are that short, strange man who's all black, and that guy with only one eye on his face..."

Bang, who had been staring at the screen, spoke slowly. He was referring to Black Mirror and Big Eyes from the Monster Association. Just by looking at them, Bang could sense that they were no ordinary beings.

But at the same time, his gaze gradually became serious.

"And what about that...that colossal giant?"

On the screen was a colossal monster, so large that even the G5 machine's vision couldn't fully encompass it. It wore a giant mask, sat on a stone chair, and exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, like a king.

"Judging from the names of the other strange people, this guy should be called Orochi, and he is their leader."

Genos replied,

"The other two are named Black Sperm and Big Eyes, respectively, and they are executives of the Monster Association."

"But how did this guy get access to our Hero Association's data?"

At this moment, Child Emperor lowered his head, touched his chin with his fingers, and fell into thought. He saw in the videotape the scene of G5 Machine God handing over the data about the Hero Association to Big Eyes.

Theoretically speaking, the Hero Association's data should be absolutely confidential. Why was G5 able to obtain this information? It's all under strict protection. All the programs were written by him and Metal Knight, and ordinary people simply cannot break through them. Moreover, Child Emperor had set up a system so that even if the system were breached, he should still receive the information.

and many more.....

If the program was written by me and Metal Knight...

Besides me, the only one who could possibly breach the security defenses is Metal Knight.

Could it be that Metal Knight is the mole?

Child Emperor pursed his lips slightly. As it stands, the only possibility is that Metal Knight is an undercover agent.

However, Metal Knight was once Child Emperor's teacher, and Child Emperor is now caught in a dilemma, wondering whether or not to reveal this matter.

At that moment, another hero in the S-class noticed the subtle change in Child Emperor's expression.

Drive Knight.

Like Genos, he is one of the few mechanical heroes in the Hero Association.

"Child Emperor, there's no possibility that this data could be leaked, right?"

Drive Knight spoke slowly, his cold, mechanical voice sounding like an interrogation.

"The probability is very low."

"That's what the Child Emperor replied."

"So, can I assume that you, who were responsible for writing the security program, and Metal Knight are the suspects in this incident?"

Drive Knight was being somewhat aggressive.

"I would never be a traitor!"

Upon hearing Drive Knight's words, Child Emperor immediately responded somewhat angrily, and the other heroes couldn't help but turn their gazes towards the two of them.

"As fellow S-class heroes, I believe in you, Child Emperor."

Drive Knight spoke calmly, but at the same time shifted his gaze to the others present.

"But what about Metal Knight, who almost never participates in hero activities?"

Upon hearing Drive Knight's words, almost everyone present fell silent at the same time.

With his superb mechanical manufacturing skills and thorough knowledge of the Hero Association's intelligence, Metal Knight is arguably the most suspicious candidate.

Metal Knight wasn't present at the time and couldn't explain himself.

"Drive Knight, you seem to harbor deep hostility towards Metal Knight."

Genos's gaze fell on Drive Knight.

"My past is the same as yours, a cyborg created by a demon, and my former home was destroyed by a violent machine."

Drive Knight explained,

"After years of investigation, I discovered that Metal Knight seems to be involved in this matter. The reason I joined the Hero Association was simply to investigate Metal Knight up close."

"what?!"

Genos's eyes widened slightly; he hadn't expected Drive Knight to have the same past as him.

The person who caused their tragedy was Metal Knight.

Metal Knight is a hero, but he lacks the values ​​a hero should have. To him, other people's lives are just consumables, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. His previous participation in hero activities was merely to test his new weapons and collect data.

Even the entire Hero Association is just a tool for Metal Knight, used to kill monsters and obtain more data.

The various buildings and tools he created for the Hero Association were merely underhanded tactics for secretly monitoring the association.

Moreover, the weapons he experimented with always carried uncontrollable risks.

Genos and Drive Knight's former homeland was destroyed by Metal Knight's out-of-control weapon.

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

Sitch turned to look at Child Emperor, whose forehead was already covered in sweat without him noticing.

He never imagined that there would be a mole within the Hero Association.

And he's a Metal Knight.

If Metal Knight is indeed the mole, that would be an incredibly terrifying thing.

Because Metal Knight was the builder of the Hero Association headquarters.

Sitch naturally didn't want that to happen.

Meanwhile, Child Emperor had no choice but to take out his phone and dial a number that only Metal Knight's former assistant would know. He found it hard to believe that his teacher was the mole and hoped that Metal Knight could give him a proper explanation.

After all, it's just speculation right now, and there's no crucial evidence. It's not impossible that there's a brain in the Monster Association that's just as intelligent as his and Metal Knight's.

However, if Metal Knight really is the traitor, then Child Emperor will not hesitate to stand against him.

For Child Emperor, justice must take precedence over the bond between teacher and student.

However, the call was not answered; it rang a few times and then went completely silent.

"Stop playing dead, Metal Knight, give me a proper explanation."

At that moment, Drive Knight slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and shouted, his voice tinged with anger.

"Don't get agitated, Drive Knight. No matter how loud you shout, Drive Knight won't hear you. Instead, let Child Emperor try to contact the other party first."

Sitch said.

"No, Metal Knight must have installed a listening device here, after all, he built this place."

Drive Knight said, then turned to look at Child Emperor.

"Child Emperor, you should have the relevant scanning equipment, right?"

"kindness."

Tong Di nodded, then immediately took out a special device, started scanning, and his expression turned somewhat surprised.

Sure enough, there were surveillance cameras in the conference room.

Child Emperor pointed to a corner, while Tornado on the other side quietly activated her superpowers, tearing open the wall and revealing a miniature camera in front of everyone.

Tornado slightly raised its head, and the camera was uprooted like a weed, then crushed by the immense pressure into a pile of scrap metal.

“When I joined the Hero Association, I guessed that this place must have been monitored by Metal Knight, but in order to avoid alerting him, I didn’t make a sound.”

Drive Knight said that he had been investigating Metal Knight for a very long time.

"Wh-what?!"

Sitch was dumbfounded, completely unexpected that such a thing would happen.

Hidden cameras exist within the Hero Association?!

Doesn't that mean all the secret missions within the Hero Association have been discovered?!

Sitch felt a chill run down his spine, as if an unseen ghost was constantly hovering around his body.

"The truth will be clear once you take a look at where these cameras transmit data."

"Drive Knight said slowly."

"Seriously, are S-class heroes really that boring?"

Saitama, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly.

"So what do we do now...?"

The fact that Metal Knight might be the mole caught Sitch off guard, disrupting all his plans. He never expected this to happen.

The existence of a traitor among S-class heroes would have serious consequences for public opinion if it were to become known to outsiders.

Sitch raised his head, but his gaze involuntarily fell on King, as if waiting for King's advice.

"Mr. King... what are your plans?"
