I, without any personality, become a hero!

Thinking of that cyborg he was so interested in, Midoriya then naturally thought of Saitama...

"Speaking of Saitama, he's a C-class hero, right...? There are over 300 of them, I think..."

Slightly speechless, Izuku Midoriya still vividly remembered Saitama's power. Putting aside the fact that the Grim Reaper had died hundreds of times at his hands, just that punch that directly broke through the Earth's clouds... that was completely beyond the level that humans could do.

"I don't know what's going on... but it's probably Saitama's personal hobby, right?"

However, Izuku Midoriya, who was not concerned about hero rankings, turned his attention to a pile of items placed beside him.

"Next, we'll conduct some more in-depth experiments."

Picking up the documents in his hands and stacking them aside, Midoriya cleared some space in his research room and then arranged the large pile of test tubes, medicines, and other items.

"Let's begin the research..."

As Midoriya finished speaking, several thin steel wires extended from his hand, performing precise work like tentacles. With his Quirk acting as a substitute, Midoriya Izuku could perform operations even more precise than machines.

The shaking of the test tube, the adjustment of the reagents... everything was proceeding smoothly and quickly under the multifaceted control of the "steel wire," while Midoriya, completely focused on the reagents in the test tube, murmured:

"Monsterization... We really need to figure this out first."

This time, Izuku Midoriya deliberately went against his own principles and conducted a very dangerous research experiment, a terrifying study that caused the objects he created to "monsterize" on their own.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated... To defeat your enemy, you must understand your enemy better. Therefore, Midoriya began to conduct research experiments in this area.

It would be ideal if we could find the cause of the "monsterization" phenomenon, as this would allow us to find a way to successfully suppress the emergence of "monsters" and reduce the occurrence of many disasters.

Chapter 14 Meteorite (Part 1)

"Master! Something terrible has happened!!"

The messenger from hell rushed into Dr. Kusno's research institute, nearly causing Midoriya to drop the test tube of medicine he was holding.

"What's all the fuss about? Tell me slowly if you have something to say!"

After carefully placing the test tube of medicine on the centrifuge rack, Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief and then scolded the Grim Reaper, who had almost messed up the dangerous items himself.

"OK......"

After being scolded, the Grim Reaper's jet-black bald head suddenly shortened by one segment. It slowly told Izuku Midoriya why it had made such a fuss.

"A huge meteorite has fallen from outer space, and Z City will be completely destroyed in 30 minutes."

"puff--!!"

Midoriya, who had just taken a sip of water to try and calm himself down, suddenly spat it out before he could even swallow it. Clutching his chest and coughing, he angrily exclaimed:

"Why don't you hurry up and tell me!"

"You told me to speak slowly..."

"Stop dawdling! Get to Z City right now!!"

Midoriya, still wearing his white coat, rushed towards Z-City at full speed. Although Dr. Kusno's research institute was not located near Z-City, there must have been many citizens who had not evacuated due to this sudden crisis. If it was not stopped, who knows how many people would die.

Izuku Midoriya is never one to stand idly by; when a crisis strikes, he will do everything in his power to help those in distress.

Meanwhile, Genos, who had been alerted by the Hero Association to the crisis, rushed towards the center of the meteorite impact site at full speed. Accompanying him was Bang, the third-ranked S-class hero, "Silver Fang," an elderly man with white hair.

At this moment, they learned that the giant meteorite would fall into Z City in less than half an hour, and that a large number of citizens were stuck in the city and unable to evacuate. Almost all of them had a look of despair and waiting for death on their faces.

The giant meteorite was observed by the Hero Association half an hour ago. Although they notified all citizens of Z City immediately and assigned an S-class hero to handle the matter, almost no one had any hope of stopping the giant meteorite.

Everyone in the Hero Association in Z City had already evacuated, because the massive meteorite falling towards Z City had been classified as an unstoppable "Dragon-level" disaster. Upon learning of this, Genos headed directly towards the center area to stop and destroy the meteorite.

As for the Grim Reaper, he saw the news on TV and immediately notified his master, since Izuku Midoriya was busy with research experiments and couldn't possibly watch TV or listen to the radio.

Upon learning of the massive meteorite crash, Midoriya rushed towards Z-City, while simultaneously reassembling his Quirk to deal with the impending Dragon-level threat.

---------------

In their final moments, the citizens of Z City could look up and see the massive meteorite about to fall upon them. However, the chaotic and congested roads were filled with citizens who had not evacuated, and they could only wait in despair for their deaths.

"I never expected to use this prototype."

Having arrived at the foot of the massive meteorite impact, Genos threw the metal box in his hand into the air. The box then transformed and split into two halves, which then reassembled and connected to Genos's two mechanical arms from mid-air.

After the defeat against the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, the peripheral components Dr. Kusno created for Genos to enhance his combat abilities came in handy. Although it was only a half-finished prototype, it could indeed greatly enhance the power of Genos' "Incineration Cannon".

"Get out of my way!"

A giant metal robot flew past Genos and landed directly on the roof of a tall building at the center of the giant meteorite's impact. It then deployed its full armor and aimed at the giant meteorite that was about to fall.

"You are... 'Bofoy,' right?"

I recognized this metal robot at a glance; it was an S-class hero ranked seventh, who used high firepower to destroy enemies along with surrounding buildings.

"Is that the newcomer Genos? Are you here to stop the meteor too?"

“Yes, ‘Bofoy,’ please help me.”

"I refuse!"

To Genos's surprise, the metal robot went on to explain why it had refused.

"I'm just here to test a new weapon, and this huge meteorite is perfect for it."

"But even then, you'll still die in the blast radius!!"

"Unfortunately, the robot I'm talking to right now is one I control remotely. I'm not going to risk my life for an experiment."

The metal robot readily explained the whole story to Genos, and the seventh-ranked S-class hero added:

"And remember to call me 'Metal Knight.' It's common sense not to call a hero by their real name."

After finishing speaking, "Metal Knight" unleashed its full armament on the robot, launching several missiles directly at the massive meteorite about to fall into the sky.

Realizing that Metal Knight's attack was a missile, Genos had no choice but to suppress his urge to pursue the incoming Incinerator, as a rash attack would only prematurely detonate the missiles that were attacking the meteorite.

However, after the missile's earth-shattering explosion and smoke, the huge meteorite still fell directly to the ground without showing any signs of being damaged.

"It didn't succeed? Was an attack of this power still not enough?!"

Upon seeing this, "Metal Knight" decisively severed the link between him and the metal robot, so he didn't have to watch the rest of the scene.

"hateful....!!"

In a panic, Genos's electronic eyes detected that the giant meteorite would hit the ground in 33 seconds. However, he had no idea whether he could destroy the meteorite or whether any debris would cause casualties in the surrounding area. A host of questions threw him into a state of confusion.

"Calm down..."

Bang, the "Silver Fang" who appeared behind Genos at some unknown time, was just supporting the young man with a similar mindset, since he hadn't escaped the boundaries of Z City.

"I see......"

With images of Saitama's daily life flashing through his mind, Genos calmly made a decision. After opening the mechanical plate on his chest, he exposed his energy heart and then directly connected it to the right arm slot of the Drive Armor.

"Then let's give it our all!"

Without worrying about anything else, Genos staked everything on this one attack. The maximum power from the energy core was directly connected to the mechanical right arm, and the strongest attack was fully charged!

"Bang, get down!"

Genos gave the old man a final reminder, then aimed his right arm at the massive meteorite about to crash down on the ground and unleashed a full-force attack!

A terrifying and violent beam of energy struck the massive meteorite, and the tall building Genos was standing on began to sway precariously, barely able to withstand the immense and terrifying impact.

Chapter 15 Meteorite (Part 2)

The massive meteorite was about to crash to the ground. Genos unleashed a powerful attack using all his energy, and a towering pillar of destructive energy blocked its path. He intended to block everything and destroy the meteorite that was about to destroy Z-City... but what Genos witnessed was far too cruel.

His attack, which used all his energy, couldn't even slow down the falling speed of the giant meteorite. It was estimated that in less than 10 seconds, the meteorite that would destroy Z City would hit him on the head.

"Is this where I'll end up...?"

The attack had exhausted all of Genos's energy. Just as he was about to collapse to the ground, a faint, dark arm caught him.

Of course not!

"Midori-kun... and Saitama-sensei?!"

Before Genos's eyes, Izuku Midoriya and Saitama arrived side by side, and he was helped up by the Grim Reaper to prevent him from falling to the ground.

While rushing to the center of the giant meteorite impact, Izuku Midoriya happened to run into Saitama. The two didn't say much and went together to this place, making their appearance at the most crucial moment.

"Who are you?!"

Also surprised was Bang, the third-ranked S-class hero "Silver Fang". As a master of physical combat, he was very skilled, but faced with a giant meteorite that was capable of destroying the entire Z-City, the old man could only watch helplessly.

Although Bang didn't recognize the two people who came to his side at this moment, the ethereal dark creature supporting Genos was a "Hell Monster" defined as "Dragon-level" by the "Hero Association".

Although their identities are unknown, their purpose in coming to this place in the face of the massive meteorite that is about to crash and destroy Z City is self-evident.

"Mr. Saitama, I'll have to trouble you with this."

Pointing to the massive meteorite that was about to fall overhead, Izuku Midoriya's meaning was very clear: Saitama could take care of it with a single punch... Midoriya had great faith in the power of this hero who had killed the "Grim Reaper" countless times.

"Of course, because I am a hero."

Faced with the enormous meteorite that seemed to fall from the sky, Saitama did what he always did: crouched down to gather his strength... then suddenly leaped up, cracking the top floor of the building, and then unleashed a punch with his red-gloved fist.

To Bang's astonishment and amidst everyone's complacency, Saitama's body pierced through the massive meteorite, shattering the impending catastrophe that was about to destroy Z-City into pieces with a single punch.

The giant meteorite was destroyed by Saitama's punch, but the scattered meteorite fragments could not be stopped. Just as they were about to fall to various parts of Z City, Izuku Midoriya intervened.

"Wire mesh!"

Just as the meteorite fragments were about to fall from the sky to the ground, steel wires appeared out of thin air around each fragment, and a network of countless interwoven steel wires intercepted the falling meteorite.

Large meteorite fragments were intercepted and suspended in mid-air by the steel wires, while smaller meteorites were cut into particle powder by countless steel wires.

At first, Midoriya planned to intercept the giant meteorite in the air, cut it into pieces, and try to keep the fragments in the air. However, Midoriya Izuku himself could not execute this method perfectly. The meteorite that fell this time was too huge, and if he were alone, there would still be meteorite fragments that would be missed.

Fortunately, Saitama was there. His powerful strength destroyed the meteorite as a whole, allowing Midoriya to focus on intercepting the falling meteorite fragments. As a result, not a single meteorite fragment fell on Z-City during this "Dragon-level" disaster; they were all intercepted in the sky.

"All done, they're all in custody."

Following Izuku Midoriya's relieved remarks, the others looked up at the sky, where all the meteorite fragments had been intercepted by the steel wire mesh.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Saitama, who rarely takes the initiative to praise, understood what was going on when he saw the steel wire extending from Izuku Midoriya's right hand. He never expected that this genius young scientist had such abilities.

"Of course, this is my master, the greatest being!"

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense."

Midoriya was extremely embarrassed by the daily flattery from the Grim Reaper, and he didn't bother to reprimand the talkative fellow. Now, he had to move the meteorite fragments suspended in mid-air by steel wires to another place, as Z City didn't have enough space to accommodate them.

..................

The meteorite fragment was eventually placed outside Dr. Kusno's research institute, next to a large, deserted open space. Since the meteorite had fallen from outer space and was of great research value, Izuku Midoriya moved it there.

Saitama was a great help. After Midoriya wrapped and packed the meteorite fragments with a wire mesh, Saitama himself quickly arrived at Dr. Kusno's research institute carrying a meteorite ball that was hundreds of times larger than him.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Saitama."

Izuku Midoriya bowed to Saitama to express his gratitude. Without Saitama's help, he would have had a real headache trying to move so many meteorite fragments.

"It's nothing. I'm really sorry about the 'hair growth tonic' you kindly gave me last time, which I ended up killing."

"Um... let's not talk about this anymore."

The "hair growth serum" he researched and created has turned into monsters, and Midoriya still feels incredibly embarrassed... He meant well by giving a gift, but somehow it feels like he's indirectly causing trouble for Saitama.

"Then, to show my gratitude, I'll treat everyone to barbecue!"

"OK!!"

Izuku Midoriya wanted to thank Saitama in a different way, and this suggestion greatly interested the "bald" man, who happily agreed.

Dr. Kusno informed Genos of the evening's dinner party via communicator. As the 17th ranked S-class hero of the Hero Association, he still had to go and do the follow-up reporting on the giant meteorite incident. Meanwhile, Bang, the third ranked hero, went to the Hero Association with Genos.

At the appointed time that evening, Midoriya and Saitama gathered at the barbecue restaurant in Z City. To avoid causing chaos among ordinary citizens, the Grim Reaper did not come along. Genos himself arrived right on time, accompanied by another person.

Bang, known as the "Silver Fang" master of the "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist," met the old man today when the giant meteorite fell, and he also came to the barbecue restaurant with Genos.

"Are there four people already? Boss, one more serving!"

Izuku Midoriya, who directly called on the barbecue restaurant owner to add another person, naturally had to be polite and considerate as the person treating today. Besides, it's not easy for an old man like "Silver Fang" to still be a hero.

However, Bang wasn't just shamelessly freeloading. He and Genos had important business to attend to. On their way to the Hero Association, the old man learned a lot from Genos, including Saitama, who could smash a giant meteorite into pieces with a single punch, and the creator of the "Hell Monster"... Izuku Midoriya.

Saitama is an internal hero of the Hero Association. Although it is unknown why he is a C-class hero, Bang has no need to ask him. Today, "Silver Fang" came here with Genos mainly to see Izuku Midoriya and ask him something in person.
