"Weak humans, you keep throwing garbage into the ocean, polluting the environment. Today, we will represent Mother Ocean and…"
Before the Deep Sea Folk could finish his speech, Atomic Samurai had already lost his patience. With a swift strike, he sliced the monster into pieces.
Atomic Samurai specialized in rapid slashes, executing extremely precise and fast attacks. His ultimate move, Atomic Slash, could cut opponents into tiny fragments, making him a formidable force.
The Deep Sea Folk didn't even get a chance to say much before being killed.
"So much nonsense!"
After dispatching one Deep Sea Folk, Atomic Samurai transformed into a killing machine, his katana swiftly cutting through the monsters. The beach was soon littered with the dismembered bodies of the monsters he had slain.
Meanwhile, Bang had a completely different approach.
While Atomic Samurai relied on quick slashes for instant kills, Bang used his fists. His punches transmitted force through the enemies' bodies, shattering their insides. This method ensured the monsters couldn't survive his attacks.
Thus, his movements were equally rapid, and the Deep Sea Folks, despite their attempts to resist, couldn't stand a chance. Once they were hit, they were done for.
The scene was akin to a max-level player slaughtering low-level mobs, completely one-sided.
The Deep Sea Folk on the beach were swiftly eliminated. These monsters were remnants from the past, so their numbers were limited.
But among the various tribes, the Deep Sea Folk was relatively fortunate. As Subterranean People were too weak, the Skyfolk numbered only three, and the Ancient King was just one individual …
The Deep Sea Folk had managed to preserve more members, but their strength ranged from Wolf to Tiger level, hardly posing a threat to two S-Class heroes.
"This round's a tie, I guess. But where's the Deep Sea King? All his subordinates are dead, and he still hasn't shown up!"
Atomic Samurai was a little upset. Although he enjoyed the fight, it was becoming monotonous killing these cannon fodders without any real challenge. He eagerly awaited the Deep Sea King's appearance, as even without water, the Deep Sea King was near the peak of Demon level.
"He's already here. Despite hiding well, his aura is completely exposed. You should learn to stay calm!"
Bang shook his head and pointed to a sea area next to him. He could clearly perceive that there was a powerful presence in it.
This aura was very powerful, so he knew that this was the Deep Sea King.
The Deep Sea King, who was still in the water, did not come out because he was intimidated by Bang and Atomic Samurai.
While he had no fear of heroes like Stinger or Lightning Max, the way Bang and Atomic Samurai effortlessly slaughtered his subordinates terrified him. The Sea King was afraid of death.
"Ha, so he's finally coming out? What a coward, hiding while letting his subordinates die! What a pathetic leader!"
Atomic Samurai didn't pay much attention to Bang's words. Instead, he looked with displeasure at the area Bang had pointed out. After being reminded by Bang, he too sensed the unusual presence in the water below—a massive presence.
Without saying a word, Atomic Samurai swung his sword, and the force of his slash split the sea in two. This was the power of an S-Class hero. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the sword wave in One Piece World, it was also a tangible attack that parted the ocean.
"Damn humans!"
The Deep Sea King, who was hiding in the sea, was terrified by the slash. Realizing he was exposed, he decided not to hold back any longer. Not known for his intelligence, once the Deep Sea King went berserk, he stopped caring about anything else.
Since hiding was no longer an option, he emerged ready to fight. At this moment, the Deep Sea King is thoroughly enraged. However, as soon as he surfaced, Atomic Samurai didn't give Bang a chance to intervene.
Not that Bang minded, as he knew Atomic Samurai's power was more than enough to crush the Sea King. While the Sea King was technically Dragon level, it was only at the lower end and primarily when he was in water.
As long as he leaves the water, the Deep Sea King only has Demon-level strength.
Against Atomic Samurai's swift attacks, the Deep Sea King stood no chance. Atomic Samurai's fast, precise strikes were devastating. The sharp blade cut through the Deep Sea King's body effortlessly. Though the Deep Sea King tried to keep up, he was no match for the slashes.
"Since you are already an existence abandoned by this era, don't try to gain attention! Atomic Slash!"
Without any hesitation, Atomic Samurai unleashed his ultimate move, Atomic Slash. His sword strikes created an impenetrable web of slashes, enveloping the Deep Sea King.
At that moment, the Deep Sea King realized he couldn't keep up with such speed. In less than a second, the Atomic Slash ended, and Atomic Samurai sheathed his sword, turning away.
"How... is this possible!"
The Deep Sea King suddenly split into countless small pieces, and fell directly into the sea. It was impossible for him to survive.
"So, I have to ask, what are we even here for? The gap between us and the S-Class is just too vast, especially with these two being top-tier S-Class heroes. We're just here to go through the motions, right!"
Stinger looked at this scene with a speechless expression. Before this, during a mission with Superalloy Darkshine, he had at least fought a few monsters. But this time, they didn't even get a chance. The Deep Sea King and the Deep Folks were eradicated by these two S-Class heroes, leaving them as mere spectators.
"It's inevitable. Both my master and old man Bang are grandmaster-level figures. Even though the opponent was Dragon level, they were on the weaker end of that spectrum. It's not surprising they won so easily!"
Iaian also felt a bit helpless, but he wasn't discouraged. After all, he knew that his master's prowess didn't equate to his own and that he needed to become stronger himself. He still had a long way to go.
"I guess I'll just go back and train more. I can handle average Tiger and Wolf level threats, but against Demon level, I'm just cannon fodder. Let alone Dragon level!"
Lightning Max, who was defeated by the Deep Sea King in the original work, had decided to take a break from hero activities to train his leg techniques. But this time, he was not hit by the Deep Sea King, but by the overwhelming difference in strength between them and the S-Class heroes.
The sheer gap between S-Class and their level was daunting. Despite their preparation, the reality of the disparity left them determined to become stronger.
