"ugkh... aoghhh... run!... tell the Hero Association headquarters to call on master Saitama to this place..."
At least among the crowd of people who were exposed to the acid liquid from Deep Sea King, there was one little girl that Genos managed to protect, but unfortunately, her mother was among the unlucky ones.
The little girl could only look at Genos in horror because, at this point, his cyborg body was slowly melting, revealing its human-like insides. Additionally, its face and head had peeled off, adding to the level of mess that the acid liquid was capable of causing.
The fortunate people who were not affected by the acid did not have the courage to help the people who were dying. Rather, they chose to push their way out of the shelter building because there were no more Professional Heroes to fight for them.
"Your body is pretty tough, huh, but is the life of this little human worth sacrificing yours?"
Deep Sea King made his way over to Genos and the little girl slowly and steadily while people desperately tried to get out of the narrow entrance. Many people even fell and were still trampled on.
"what's wrong? Where did your annoying screams go? Even though you won't satisfy my stomach, I will eat you first before all of them."
Deep Sea King crouched down and pointed at the young girl directly in front of her eyes before pointing at the people who were fleeing the area. But, this monster suddenly furrowed its brows when it could feel something touching its feet.
"Don't you dare touch that innocent girl... *cough... you can fight me... I still haven't given up... augkkkk..."
After that, Deep Sea King casually stomped on Genos's cyborg hand, shattering it into pieces. He then sat on top of Genos's body and said, "Oh, I see, but I don't care. I'll make you a chair while I eat this little human."
Deep Sea King's grin widened as he suddenly grabbed the girl's small body and lifted her up. The girl could only remain silent, with her body unable to stop shaking. Her face was ashen, and she was crying silently because she was extremely terrified.
In the meantime, Genos' body, which had become brittle and damaged due to the attacks and acid he had received, could not do anything other than scream. He could not move his body now, and with the pressure given by Deep Sea King, his cyborg body seemed as if it could be crushed at any moment.
'I'm sorry, Dr Kuseno, but I have no choice but to destroy the body you gave me... I'm also sorry, Master Saitama, I haven't been able to become as strong as you,' Genos said to himself, and at that moment, a blue light emanated from his chest.
The beam originated from the energy ball that served as the driving force for his cyborg body, and if the energy ball exploded, he was sure this monster could die. Therefore he would try to threaten it.
Yet, before Deep Sea King asked what Genos was trying to do, an abruptly loud woman's voice could be heard reverberating throughout the shelter building.
"What else happened this time? mooo... that little sister of mine... does she think she can just call me and order me around now."
Everyone, including Deep Sea King, looked up at the same time, and they could see a short woman with bright green hair, her body covered with bright green light as she entered from the hollow roof of the dome and slowly floated down.
"Who else are you, little humans? Did you come here just to die like the others? Then I'll-"
"Shut up! Your breath stinks, and I no longer want to listen to what you say!" The woman said in a cold tone, and before Deep Sea King could respond, he was startled by the sudden stiffening of his body.
Deep Sea King's eyes opened wide in shock as he was utterly bewildered by what was happening, and he suddenly screamed out in pain as the fingers that had been gripping the little girl earlier opened with force until there was the sound of bones breaking.
The little girl was hurled downward by gravity, but an intense green light encircled her, and she floated gently away from the monster before landing near the people.
"Hey, isn't that Tatsumaki?"
"Yeah, Tatsumaki, Professional S-class rank 2 Heroes... don't worry, we're fine..."
*cries
"Tatsumaki... Please Save Us... This Monster Is Extremely Dangerous... *Breaking Down*..."
As soon as people realized that an S-class Hero was present, they became ecstatic and began cheering for Tatsumaki. They did this because they were confident that having such a Hero present would ensure their safety.
"you all are noisy!... hey midget!... what are you doing to me!... quickly let me go!..." roared Deep Sea King, full of anger. Even when all his veins twitched, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his body.
"neither human nor monster. They're all the same. Both make me sick," Tatsumaki muttered while maintaining her icy expression. When she pointed her hand up, immediately Deep Sea King's body rose up, and when she swung her hand to the side, in an instant, Deep Sea King's body hit the wall.
*bam
The force of the impact was so strong that the walls punctured and fell down, and in the middle of the wreckage, Deep Sea King woke up unfazed, looking very angry as he yelled while pointing at Tatsumaki:
"You little bastard!.. I'll kill you!... aghkk-"
Deep Sea King's body floated again, and this time, he was bumped in several directions, Tatsumaki as the person responsible for that just covered her mouth while yawning and commented:
"Who are you calling a little human, huh!... since you have such a tough body, I will torture you first before I destroy you!"
In the same way that Tatsumaki described, she repeatedly slammed Deep Sea King's big body like a toy and even forced him to strike embarrassing poses. Because the psychic power that Tatsumaki used to restrain Deep Sea King's body was so powerful, the only thing that Deep Sea King could do was accept the pain and shame he was in without being able to do anything about it.
