On the brink of death, the voice of the Deep Sea King began to turn shrill and strange.
As the nearly blasphemous whispers accompanied the scene, the bloodstains blurred by the rain seemed to come alive, slowly converging into a forbidden magic circle.
At the same time, the ocean not far behind him began to boil restlessly.
A desperate aura surged from the seabed, followed by a thick fog that started to envelop the entire city.
The downpour became more torrential, the dense clouds nearly blocking out all sunlight, and the piercing, howling winds tore through every inch of the city's buildings. A creepy and chilling atmosphere began to spread from the deep sea, gradually shrouding the entire city.
Even the dull thunder that occasionally resounded in the sky became nauseating.
"This is..."
In the city, heroes dealing with the remnants of the sea tribe looked up at this scene, their faces inevitably showing grave expressions.
They were unclear about what exactly was happening at the seaside.
Yet even so, they could vaguely sense that something terrifying was approaching.
It was an instinct deep in their genes; even without knowing anything, they understood that this crisis was not over but was escalating.
"This is trouble..."
At the entrance of the shelter, Snake Fist Sneck frowned deeply as he looked toward the distant sea horizon, obscured by pale green fog. He could only see a blur of lightning, but he knew that something was brewing in the ocean, something that might become the most extreme terror on this planet.
"Notify the association immediately."
Thinking this, Sneck quickly turned and shouted to the other heroes, "The disaster level in J City is still rising. It might already be a dragon-level disaster. Send other S-class heroes here quickly!"
"What? A dragon-level disaster!?"
A man with the character "Fist" on his chest nodded nervously: "I, I understand..."
After saying this.
He hurriedly pulled out a phone.
But before he could dial the association, a burst of sparks suddenly appeared in the air next to him, followed by an expanding ring of fire that turned into a strange portal.
Under the astonished gaze of the heroes.
A bald woman in a long robe walked out.
"This... this is..."
Seeing this unexpected bald woman, the surrounding citizens and heroes felt a bit nervous, unsure of her background.
But unlike the others.
Snake Fist Sneck relaxed upon seeing her and took the opportunity to introduce her to the others: "Don't worry, everyone. She is the Sorcerer Supreme, an S-class hero here to support us."
"Is... is she an S-class hero?"
Hearing this, the crowd was initially stunned, then quickly burst into cheers, with some even starting to cry: "Thank goodness, we are finally saved!"
And just as they were cheering.
A commotion suddenly came from a street nearby.
The crowd looked up and saw a muscular man and a mechanical man rushing towards them, followed by another young man.
"It's Puri-Puri Prisoner and Demon Cyborg!"
Seeing the two heroes charging, some sharp-eyed citizens immediately recognized them: "Two more S-class heroes, thank goodness, we really are saved now!"
As for A-class hero Lightning Max, they selectively ignored him.
"S-class hero, Puri-Puri Prisoner, at your service."
Soon, the three men also arrived at the shelter, with Puri-Puri Prisoner immediately asking: "Is everyone alright?"
"Mr. Prisoner... could you please wear some clothes?"
Snake Fist Sneck felt a bit embarrassed and couldn't help but remind him: "Please pay attention to the hero image."
"Sorcerer Supreme?"
Unlike Sneck, Genos's attention was on the Ancient One: "Why are you here too? I thought you were dealing with monster crises in other cities."
"Who else could be more threatening than that guy..."
Hearing Genos's remark, the Ancient One sighed with a headache: "I was only slightly careless, and he started acting recklessly again, summoning those things that shouldn't exist into this world. I'm even starting to suspect he's doing this deliberately to spite me."
"Summoning things that shouldn't exist? What do you mean?"
Genos scratched his head in confusion: "Are you referring to Priest...? But he's clearly here to resolve the crisis."
"Speaking of Priest..."
Puri-Puri Prisoner nodded in agreement: "He even helped me take down that leader, the Deep Sea King. I must seriously thank him when I have the chance."
"That's right, he saved me too."
Lightning Max hesitated and then nodded: "Priest is surely a good man. I didn't even get a chance to thank him."
"..."
Ancient One silently looked at the group.
Her expression vaguely conveyed a sense of frustration.
"What's wrong?"
However, before the crowd could react to her expression, they felt even more puzzled: "Why does the Sorcerer Supreme look like that?"
"...Nothing."
Ancient One muttered, then looked toward the nearby seaside: "The real danger is probably over there. I'm going to take a look."
"I'm going too!"
Righteous Indignation Genos immediately exclaimed.
"And me."
Puri-Puri Prisoner quickly raised his hand: "Priest might still be there, perhaps struggling in a difficult battle alone. I want to lend him a hand."
"I'll go too..."
Lightning Max seemed ready to join, but Puri-Puri Prisoner stopped him: "It's better if you stay here, Max."
"Hey, why?"
Max asked, puzzled.
"Because you need to protect the civilians here."
Puri-Puri Prisoner patted his head with a big hand, smiling: "We'll handle the frontlines, but protecting the civilians is equally important... Although we've eliminated many, we can't rule out the possibility of remaining members of the Deep Sea tribe. I trust you can definitely protect the civilians here, right?"
"This..."
Lightning Max hesitated for a moment, clearly wanting to join but feeling the situation was dire.
Just then.
Another figure emerged in the torrential rain.
"Oooohhhhh!!!"
Before the figure arrived, his enthusiastic shout was already resonating, and the crowd turned to look, only to see a man on a bicycle speeding toward the seaside.
But before they could greet him, the man simply sped past everyone, his enthusiastic voice still echoing: "Accelerate, Justice No. Ahhhhh!!!"
"..."
The crowd collectively fell silent.
"That..."
In the end, it was Snake Fist Sneck who spoke up: "That just now, wasn't that the top-ranked C-class hero, the Mumen Rider?"
"Seems like it."
Lightning Max nodded absentmindedly.
"Shoot, he ran to the seaside." Puri-Puri Prisoner said worriedly: "It looks a bit ominous over there. A C-class hero might..."
Just then.
Another figure walked out from the rain.
"Ah, you're all here."
The crowd turned to see a shiny bald head, dressed in a yellow tight suit with a large cape behind him, Snake Fist Sneck immediately said: "C-class Cape Baldy? You came too."
"So when can we change this name!"
Saitama immediately roared: "Why is my hero name so casually done, dammit!"
"Mr. Saitama." Genos spoke up: "Why did you come so late? Were you dealing with monsters?"
"Oh, I just got lost."
Saitama said: "I only followed that guy on the bike over here... Speaking of which, his phone fell on the ground, should we take it to him?"
"Right! Mumen Rider!"
Hearing Saitama, the crowd suddenly remembered, Puri-Puri Prisoner immediately shouted: "He's in danger, we must act now!"
"...Huh?"
Saitama looked puzzled: "What are you talking about? What's going on?"
"It's like this, sensei."
Genos tried to explain simply: "The disaster level has risen again, possibly to a dragon-level disaster, and the dangerous source is that ocean, so we've decided to go there and check, but the Mumen Rider has already rushed over..."
"Oh, then let's hurry to save him."
Saitama understood and clenched his fist: "No time to delay, let's go."
So the plan was quickly set, with the other heroes staying to protect the shelter, while the S-class heroes went to resolve the disaster source at the seaside, and although Saitama wasn't an S-class hero, because he knew several S-class heroes and the situation was urgent... he somehow seemed to have bluffed his way through.
And when the crowd reached the seaside.
The disaster had escalated further.
The storm mixed with the raging rain was so intense that it was hard to open your eyes, and the surroundings were filled with a cold, damp, nauseating rotting sea stench.
And in that deep sea, a mountain-like huge figure was slowly rising, carrying an awe-inspiring oppressive feeling, with occasional lightning cutting through the sky, outlining an ancient and terrifying bloated silhouette.
"What on earth is this..."
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned quite grim.
Honestly, the oppressive feeling from the opponent was simply too terrifying; it was beyond the scope of any biological entity, just the silhouette alone gave them a nearly suffocating feeling.
On the scene, Genos and Puri-Puri Prisoner stared dumbly at this figure not far away, even before the fight began, they already understood, this was not something they could defeat, they couldn't even think of anyone who could defeat this thing, you could say it was a god-level disaster.
But just then.
Saitama noticed something not far away.
"Fang Mo?"
Following his shout, the crowd instinctively turned to look, and they were stunned.
On the distant beach, they saw the Mumen Rider lying on the ground covered in blood, with a giant sword stuck in the ground, vaguely burying something like a mysterious pile of excrement.
And in front of this pile of excrement.
Fang Mo was earnestly squatting on the ground, seemingly fiddling with something.
