After a moment, he spoke in a deep, strategic tone:
"No, Saitama, now is not the time."
"Why?" Saitama frowned.
"Didn't you feel it?" Lin Mo's eyes deepened.
"Recently, the frequency of strange occurrences has been increasing, and the level of disasters has been getting stronger. This cosmic invasion may just be the beginning. In my opinion, an even bigger storm is brewing."
He turned around, his back to Saitama, leaving him with a solitary and aloof silhouette.
"We cannot engage in pointless internal strife before we have completely resolved these potential crises that threaten the planet."
"You and I, as the last line of defense protecting humanity, should use our power for more important purposes."
After saying that, without waiting for Saitama's reply, he started walking towards the edge of the spaceship, his voice carrying far away:
"However, I assure you, when the world is truly at peace, I will give you a proper fight. Without holding back."
He walked very fast, afraid that Saitama might change his mind or see through the flaws in his words.
"But this is not a lie..." Lin Mo thought to himself as he walked, glancing at the energy points on the system interface.
"Just you wait, Saitama. Sooner or later I will be able to exchange for power enough to fight you. There will eventually be a real battle between us."
------
When the devastating "Collapse Star Roar Cannon" was cleaved in two by an invisible force, all the S-class heroes were stunned into a prolonged daze.
Gloribas had also completely lost the breath of life. He died without ever understanding what kind of being could defeat the invincible Lord Boros in his heart.
"What...what exactly was that...just now...?"
The metal bat sounded a little dry, and his hand holding the bat was slightly white from gripping it too tightly.
His proud "presence" seemed somewhat laughable in the face of that earth-shattering blow.
"I don't know..." Atomic Samurai's eyes were also filled with confusion.
For the first time, he began to doubt his own swordsmanship of "cutting everything off".
"finished?"
The sexy prisoner asked, still shaken, as he had almost been forced to his knees by the aftershocks of that energy.
"No, not yet!"
Banguna's sharp eyes were fixed on the sky, and his voice was filled with solemnity.
"Look up there!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up again.
The enormous spaceship, now split in two, lost all power after a brief pause.
The massive wreckage began to fall rapidly towards the ruins of City A below, driven by gravity!
As a disaster no less severe than a meteorite impact was about to unfold in the city, the heroes' hearts were once again in their throats.
Just then, a green light streaked across the sky.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash. They can't even handle this kind of scum, and I have to take action myself."
A clear, aloof female voice rang out above everyone's heads.
Everyone looked up and saw a green-haired girl wearing a black slit dress floating in mid-air.
She was surrounded by a visible emerald green energy field, and was none other than the second-ranked S-class hero, "Trembling Tornado".
Tornado slowly raised one hand, and its immense psychic power instantly enveloped the entire sky.
"Stop... just now!"
With a sharp shout from her, the thousands upon thousands of pieces of spaceship debris that were accelerating downwards suddenly stopped in mid-air!
The heroes on the ground all gasped in shock.
They knew Tornado was strong, but they never imagined her telekinesis was so incredibly powerful.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tornado's forehead; clearly, controlling such a large number and mass of objects at the same time was no easy task for her.
Her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly swung her arm.
"Get over there, all of you!"
As if receiving a unified command, countless pieces of debris in the sky flew towards the uninhabited mountainous area far away from City A.
Finally, amidst a deafening roar, she neatly placed all the spaceship wreckage in a valley.
The crisis has been completely resolved.
Chapter 81 The Truth
Above the ruins of City A, the S-class heroes gazed up at the petite figure floating in the air with varying expressions.
The trembling tornado, a being who rose to the second position in the Hero Association using telekinesis, is now displaying power that has once again redefined everyone's understanding of "powerful".
That enormous spaceship, which blotted out the sky, had a total mass of more than ten million tons in its wreckage, yet she single-handedly and precisely hurled it into an uninhabited mountainous region.
Amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, Tornado slowly descended from the sky.
Her face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that the actions she had just taken had taken a considerable toll on her.
"Hey, hey, hey...you're kidding, right..."
Metal Bat subconsciously swallowed, feeling his throat so dry it felt like it was on fire. "That guy... has he always been this freakish?"
"Hmph, as the second-ranked S-class, isn't it only natural for him to possess this power?"
Atomic Samurai put the hilt of his sword down, his tone deliberately calm, but his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed his inner turmoil.
Bang stroked his beard. While the tornado's power was indeed formidable, what truly concerned him was the entity that had shattered the "Collapse Star Roaring Cannon."
Just then, Atomic Samurai's sharp gaze suddenly sharpened, looking towards the edge of the city, in the direction where Tatsumaki had just abandoned the wreckage of her spaceship.
“Someone’s coming from over there.”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked over warily.
At the end of the billowing smoke and ruins, two figures were slowly walking toward them.
Their pace was slow, making them appear somewhat unreal against the backdrop of the apocalyptic city.
As they drew closer, everyone's pupils contracted sharply.
Leading the way was a bald man in a yellow combat uniform, none other than Saitama, an A-class hero.
And following right behind him... was none other than the one who issued the disaster warning—KING!
His black turtleneck was covered in dust, but his steps remained steady.
His signature three scars looked particularly cruel in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He was completely unharmed! He walked right back from the epicenter of that massive explosion!
“Boom…boom…boom…boom…”
The moment almost all the S-class heroes on the scene focused their attention on him, the familiar yet terrifying sound of the "Emperor Engine" resounded throughout the entire venue once again!
"Could it be..." Metal Bat murmured to himself, "that King solved it?"
"It actually managed to withstand an attack of that magnitude..."
Atomic Samurai also walked over, bowed slightly to Lin Mo, and performed a swordsman's salute, "KING, I acknowledge you!"
Seeing the matter-of-fact expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Mo immediately realized that they had misunderstood and hurriedly tried to explain.
“No,” his voice was a little hoarse, but unusually clear, “you’ve all got it wrong.”
The entire arena fell silent instantly, even Tatsumaki, who had been hovering in mid-air with her arms crossed, raised an eyebrow.
Lin Mo turned to the side, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the man beside him who had been looking around as if he were thinking about something.
"I am not the one who defeated the cosmic overlord Boros and destroyed this spaceship with a single punch."
Lin Mo's voice was resolute and echoed above the ruins.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
All the S-class heroes followed King's finger and focused their gaze on Saitama's deadpan face.
Silence, deathly silence.
A few seconds later, an unbelievable uproar erupted.
"What? Mr. King, are you kidding me?" Metal Bat was the first to exclaim, "He... he's just an A-rank..."
“KING, this is not the time for modesty.” Atomic Samurai also frowned.
Tornado scoffed and said bluntly, "Hey, Three Scars, are you kidding us? Or did an alien mess with your brain? This bald cape-wearing hero?"
Faced with all the doubts, Lin Mo did not back down.
He faced the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I saw it with my own eyes; it was Saitama who ended all of this."
Saitama finally came to his senses. He scratched his head, looked at Lin Mo who was pointing at him, and then at the group of S-class heroes with strange expressions around him. In his usual calm tone, he said "Ah," which was considered an admission.
His attitude was seen as nothing short of provocation by Tornado and the others.
"You bald guy, you dare to admit it?! Who gave you the guts to claim credit for someone else's work?!"
Tornado's voice turned icy, and terrifying telekinetic energy began to surge around her.
Just then, a figure came rushing from a distance.
"Please wait!"
Everyone turned around and saw "Demon Cyborg" Genos suddenly stop in front of them, then quickly walk behind Saitama and bow respectfully.
Genos's words struck a chord deep within the hearts of every S-class hero.
Genos is an S-class hero! He's one of the Hero Association's top fighters!
And Saitama... is actually his teacher? How is that possible? A mere A-class hero...
However... even KING, who is hailed as the "strongest on earth," personally testified for him.
