Black-robed Superman from a certain American comic book

"I am Springbeard, an A-class hero!"

"Same here, I'm also an A-rank hero, Golden Ball!"

A man with a mustache holding a rapier and another man in a hoodie holding a slingshot walked up to the strange man whose hair was made of countless seaweeds.

"Two A-rank heroes, huh?"

The strange man looked at the two heroes in front of him with a somewhat eager expression.

"I'll go first!"

Golden Ball smiled at the magnificent bearded man, took out his slingshot, aimed at the strange man in front of him, and launched a golden ball.

"Ok?"

The seaweed man stared in surprise at the golden ball hurtling towards him, his eyes widening like a curious child who had just seen a new toy.

"Crack..."

The next second, under the watchful eyes of the seaweed man, the golden ball transformed into a miniature missile, which flew towards the seaweed man.

"Boring~"

The seaweed man's hair, a long piece of seaweed, suddenly grew longer and gently deflected the missile fired from the golden ball.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the balcony of the building next to the three people was blown to pieces.

"what?"

Golden Ball stared wide-eyed at the destroyed balcony.

Before the golden ball could think, a seaweed shot out from the sewer, wrapped around its foot, and sent it flying.

"interesting!"

Springbeard watched the golden ball fly away, gently stroked his elegant beard, then gripped his rapier and approached the strange man.

"And what are you?"

As the strange man spoke, countless seaweed-like creatures on his head whipped around in exaggerated whirlwinds, attacking the spring-bearded man.

"Oh la la la..."

Faced with the barrage of attacks, Springbeard swung his sword and blocked countless tentacles.

"Not bad!"

Springbeard praised the strange man, his body muscles instantly tensing up.

"what!"

With a low growl, the rapier in Springbeard's hand twisted like a spring and then shot out suddenly, looking just like a low-end version of a legendary dagger.

"Shh!"

Facing the supersonic ricocheting sword from Spring Mustache, the seaweed monster easily dodged it with a swift movement.

"what……"

Spring Mustache's expression changed as he watched the seaweed monster dodge his attack. He knew the situation was serious, and with his hand behind his back, he gently pressed the one-click help function on the Hero Association's mobile phone.

"goodbye!"

As the seaweed monster spoke, the seaweed on his body continued to extend, attacking the spring-bearded man.

"Easily took down two A-level heroes."

"Let me take down more heroes!"

After defeating Spring Mustache, the Kelp Monster grinned smugly and turned around, determined to become a legend in Z City.

then……

The moment the seaweed monster turned around, he froze, because somehow, a burly man in a white bodysuit had appeared behind him.

"Surprise~"

The burly man in white smiled kindly as he watched the seaweed turn around.

"You are……"

The seaweed monster looked puzzled.

"Your ancestors."

The burly man smiled and walked towards the seaweed monster.

A legend, fallen before it even began.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Jupiter the Good

"This is none of your business!"

The burly man in white smiled as he watched Golden Ball and Spring Beard stand up, supporting each other.

"Forehead……"

"You're the second-ranked S-class..."

Springbeard looked at the burly man with a sudden realization. He had listened to the radio today and knew that a newly promoted S-class hero was unstoppable. He shattered a meteorite with a single punch, saved Z City, and went from the bottom of the S-class rankings to the second-ranked S-class hero.

"The strongest hero".

The burly man in white emphasized his name.

"Forehead……"

"Okay, Mr. Strongest Hero."

Springbeard opened his mouth as he listened to the burly man's words. As a person with extremely high emotional intelligence, he could tell that the other party did not like the title of "second".

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, the burly man in white nodded slightly.

"We're leaving now."

After saying this, Springbeard helped Golden Ball away from this troublesome place.

"Now let's talk about your question."

The burly man in white, Jupiter, hung the seaweed monster upside down on the street lamp.

"What's your name?"

Jupiter floated up with his hands behind his back, asking the seaweed its name.

"My name is Infinite Kelp..."

Upon hearing this, the seaweed monster's dark face flashed with fear, and he immediately revealed his name.

"Very good, Mr. Infinite Seaweed, have you ever heard of the Monster Association?"

Jupiter asked Infinite Kelp if she had heard of the Monster Association.

"No, I've never heard of it..."

Infinite Seaweed shook his head; he truly didn't know about the Monster Association.

"You are not being honest."

Jupiter shook his head; this was not the answer he wanted to know.

"Ok?"

Infinite Seaweed was taken aback. He didn't understand why Jupiter said he was dishonest, but he really was an honest person.

"what!!"

Before Infinite Kelp could explain, Jupiter ripped a piece of kelp off Infinite Kelp's head. The intense pain caused Infinite Kelp to show a pained expression.

"I really don't know!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Infinite Seaweed genuinely had no idea what a Monster Association was.

"Crack~"

Jupiter shook his head and pulled off another piece of seaweed from the top of the Infinite Seaweed.

"what!!"

The seaweed's painful screams roared out from his throat once again.

"Cough cough..."

On the other side, the golden ball, which was already far away from the urban area of ​​Z City, slowly opened its eyes.

"Hey! You're awake?"

Spring Beard, who was supporting Golden Ball, greeted the now-conscious Golden Ball in a friendly manner.

"Ahem, what's going on now?"

"Where's the weirdo? The weirdo who defeated us?"

Golden Ball looked pained as he questioned Spring Beard.

"what!!!"

Just as Springbeard was about to answer the Golden Ball's question, a scream came from behind them.

"That's...that strange man's voice?!"

What exactly happened?

Golden Ball was somewhat confused. He didn't understand what had happened to make a monster who could easily defeat him and Spring Mustache let out such a shrill scream.

"Shh..."

"This matter should not be publicized!"

"Don't keep asking questions. Knowing too much about some things is not good; you'll have nightmares at night."

Upon hearing Golden Ball's question, Springbeard immediately blew on his fingers, signaling Golden Ball not to ask any more questions, as if he were wary of something.

Springbeard's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his heart was pounding. He had only glanced back out of curiosity when he saw that incredibly miserable scene. Now, all he could do was mentally write a big "miserable" for that seaweed monster!
