"In fact, your situation is something anyone with eyes could see. To put it bluntly, it is all because of your luck, and also... others have preconceptions. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."
Asahi shook his head. The reason why others couldn't see through King's issues was simply because Saitama lacked that kind of presence, and also because of King's luck and first impression.
Because they think this guy is very strong, so they take it for granted. In this world, luck is invincible, and Saitama also lacks presence. When Saitama and Boros are fighting so fiercely that they almost shatter the moon and split the earth in half in the original work, those below have no clue at all. They don't even understand what's happening even though it's just a few hundred meters away.
And in the end, the spacecraft started tilting. Even if the people below don't notice Saitama, these people should at least saw the change in the moon. They're not blind; they're just ignorant. Yeah, that's right, although it's fun, it's a bit excessive.
For example, Saitama can't kill a mosquitoe, getting frustrated to death by Bang in a game, it's all just for laughs, something you watch in anime. But if such scenes were to happen in the real world, it would be ridiculous.
Now that the One Punch Man World is a complete world, Saitama's presence probably isn't that weak anymore.
"By the way, aren't you just too attached to this kind of life? Otherwise, if you find an excuse to say you're seriously injured, then just quit the Hero Association, wouldn't that solve everything?"
Regarding King, perhaps others have some goodwill towards him, but Asahi doesn't have much feeling about him. Of course, there's no sense of hostility, just a bit annoying to look at. After all, this guy continues being a hero because of greed.
Otherwise, if he really wanted to leave this whirpool, he can just quit the Hero Association directly. As for whether the withdrawal will be criticized by others, he can just find an excuse and say that he was injured during the battle, and he has no strength anymore. It's such a simple and convenient excuse.
However, King doesn't do this, as he is greedy for power and money from this position. Asahi wouldn't develop any goodwill towards such a person, so he only say it like this. As for him advising King to quit now, it's just a casual remark.
If King accidentally kicks the bucket later, then he can't blame others. Although luck is indeed strong, Saitama won't always be there in time, so there will be problems sooner or later.
Moreover, after Asahi arrived in this world, this luck has been continuously transferring to him. It's not that Asahi actively seeks it, but it's a direct consequence of his choices. The world knows he's a strong individual, and as the worlds connect, he'll become even stronger.
So in order to repay the favor, the world will concentrate its luck on him when he enters a new world.
But this is also a process. Originally, this kind of good luck was all over the place, but now it's starting to transfer to him. No one knows when King might kick the bucket.
"I…I understand, please don't tell anyone else!"
Feeling reluctant, King decides to think it over again. In this regard, Asahi just nodded in response. He's not one to talk too much, so he won't say anything about how to choose. He wouldn't care about King's fate either way.
Meanwhile, most of the robots inside had already been dismantled by others, and when Metal Knight saw that his robots were completely useless, he had no choice but to start fleeing. Or rather, hiding from these people.
He had left himself a secret crevice here where he could survive and wait until the heat died down before leaving.
It was difficult to find him in the crevice in the wall, and some special materials were used inside to isolate others' sense.
But what he didn't expect was that Child Emperor had released quite a few reconnaissance drones when he first entered, and Drive Knight did the same. It can be said that the two of them had thoroughly explored this place.
So when the Metal Knight began to hide, they could see him clearly.
As fellow scientists, they knew the meticulousness of a scientist and felt that Metal Knight is very careful.
So, it wasn't surprising that he had prepared such a place. After a while, everything here was taken care of, and no one else found any trace of Metal Knight.
"Has that guy already escaped and left an empty base?"
Metal Bat asked a little speechlessly. This kind of thing seemed quite normal, leaving behind an empty base after leaving, while letting these robots disgust them once more.
"No, he didn't have time to escape this time. Although I don't know why he didn't escape, we can just ask him now!"
After saying this, Drive Knight directly broke through a wall and pulled Metal Knight out from inside.
"So, this guy is... Metal Knight, huh? Looks like a typical shut-in!"
Looking at the appearance of the Metal Knight, Tatsumaki curled her lips. Because of years of scientific research, this guy didn't look much different from a typical shut-in.
"Tell us, based on your personality, after disconnecting from the Association's robots, you should have chosen to escape. Why did you choose to stay this time and confront us?"
Drive Knight asked in doubts. He understood Metal Knight's personality. This guy is usually very cautious, and finding him wasn't easy, but today, instead of escaping, he was caught by them directly.
"Do you still need to ask me about this? You two have used some unknown method to isolate my research institute from the outside world. Not only can I not leave here, but I can't even send out signals. Otherwise, at least a few of you would have died today!"
Metal Knight said with a sneer. If it weren't for the inability to notify the Monster Association and contact his other bases, the others would be dead for sure this time. But unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
"Blocked, you say…"
Tatsumaki immediately thought of Asahi. Since others couldn't do this kind of thing, she felt that only Asahi, who knew Metal Knight's base, could do it.
But to directly block this place from such a distance, she really had nothing to say.
'His strength is truly terrifying. Blocking this place from such a distance so simply, it's really outrageous.'
"It looks like you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke this time, but you bastard, you're going to pay the price this time. Those... pieces of evidence are enough to kill you a million times. Child Emperor, you can stay here and find his other bases, don't give him a chance to turn the tables!"
Drive Knight said as he prepared to send this guy to prison.
