Child Emperor licked his lollipop, watching Tatsumaki fuming in mid-air, and let out a helpless sigh.
Sigh... here we go again... Superalloy Darkshine, on the other hand, shrunk his neck, his dark, shiny muscles appearing to dim slightly.
Oh dear, Young Miss Tatsumaki is angry again. Tatsumaki in a rage is truly terrifying; it's better to keep a low profile.
Drive Knight sat in place without saying a word, his thoughts unknown, his single red mechanical eye staring fixedly ahead.
Tanktop Master felt the terrifying burst of Psychokinesis, so startled that his blue tank top seemed to shrink a bit.
Dammit, is this what super powers are? I don't believe muscles will lose to super powers; I must do another 10,000 squats when I get back!
Pig God and Flashy Flash merely glanced over before going back to their own business.
Pig God continued eating, while Flashy Flash twirled the tips of his hair with his fingers like a beauty caring for her locks.
The only one on the scene to stand up was Metal Bat, the hot-tempered delinquent youth, who pointed the tip of his bat at Tatsumaki with a look of displeasure:
"Hey! I turned down my little sister's dance competition to attend this meeting! Do you have any idea how big of a loss that is! I didn't come here for a meeting just to watch a brat like you throw a tantrum!"
King rubbed the bridge of his nose helplessly, looked at the troubled Sitch, and sighed silently.
It seems I have to step in, otherwise the "Tornado Disaster" won't stop anytime soon.
Tatsumaki, who was arguing with Saitama, suddenly had her fire drawn by those words and was ready to curse out Metal Bat as well.
"Ha?! You..."
"Everyone stop for a moment. This emergency assembly must have important matters to announce; everything else can wait until later."
A steady voice rang out in the meeting room. Tatsumaki, Metal Bat, and Saitama all turned their gazes toward the source of the voice.
Upon seeing that it was King who spoke, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Metal Bat clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, but he still put away his bat and sat back down obediently, threatening in a low voice:
"Stupid brat, when the meeting is over, I'm going to use this bat to turn your butt into a flower!"
Hearing this, Tatsumaki was about to be ignited like a powder keg again.
But catching a glimpse of the calm-faced King out of the corner of her eye, a look of wariness flashed through her eyes. She chose to withdraw her Psychokinesis and sat back down with her arms crossed.
She hadn't forgotten the time she fought against King.
Back then, she had given it her all, even overloading her Mental Energy, yet she was still easily crushed by King, not even knowing how she lost.
Although she still put on a tsundere act of refusing to admit it on the surface, in her heart, Tatsumaki had long ago placed King in a position above herself.
Perhaps, he was only a few degrees weaker than Blast.
Seeing that the two who were just at each other's throats had stopped arguing, Saitama gave King a thumbs up.
As expected of King, he actually managed to stop both of those irritable kids.
Confirming that the room was quiet, King turned his gaze toward the flustered Sitch:
"Mr. Sitch, the meeting can begin."
"Oh, oh, right!"
The two who were almost fighting a moment ago had suddenly become like well-behaved children. Sitch didn't recover for a moment, and only after King's reminder did he finally realize they needed to start the meeting.
Truly worthy of being The Strongest Man on Earth, to suppress two Raging S-Class Heroes with just one sentence; truly terrifying.
Sitch secretly admired him, then stepped up to the conference table, his tone suddenly becoming serious and earnest:
"Everyone, the Earth might be doomed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the S-Class Heroes present all furrowed their brows.
But this time, Sitch seemed to be in a great hurry; he didn't even wait for the other S-Class Heroes to ask questions before continuing:
"The great seer Grandma Shibabawa gave a prophecy just one hour ago: [The Earth is finished]. Grandma Shibabawa's prophecies are never wrong."
Metal Bat was a bit dazed. He thought this assembly was at most about work changes or perhaps a large-scale Dragon-level Disaster, but he didn't expect to hear news of the Earth's destruction as soon as he arrived.
Is this a joke? If the Earth is destroyed, what about my little sister?!
At this thought, Metal Bat immediately became anxious and asked with a fierce expression:
"Mr. Sitch, hurry up and tell us what's going on. Why do you say the Earth is doomed? Could that old hag Shibabawa have made a mistake?!"
The other S-Class Heroes had the same question, but since Metal Bat asked first, they remained in a wait-and-see attitude.
Sitch shook his head, then his gaze landed on King:
"The great seer Grandma Shibabawa's prophecies have never been wrong, and furthermore, she wasn't the first one to bring up this prophecy. It was Mr. King who foresaw it in advance.
Unlike the vague prophecy given by Grandma Shibabawa, Mr. King accurately stated the location where the disaster would occur and even described the specific process of the disaster in detail."
Immediately after, Sitch relayed all the disasters King had mentioned to the S-Class Heroes present, including the arrival of the Cosmic Emperor Boros with an alien spaceship and the surprise attack that would destroy all of City A.
For a moment, even the S-Class Heroes, none of whom seemed quite human, found this massive amount of information difficult to process.
What the hell? Isn't our job to fight monsters? How did we suddenly jump to fighting aliens?
But no matter how much they disbelieved it in their hearts, this news was not only brought up by the great seer Shibabawa but was also a prophecy from The Strongest Man on Earth, King.
The S-Class Heroes might not believe Shibabawa, but they believed King.
Just then, King and Saitama suddenly looked up, their expressions becoming serious at the same time.
"Tatsumaki, that group of aliens has arrived. They are about to launch the first round of shelling on all of City A. Come with me to intercept those shells."
As the words fell, King took a step forward, his figure instantly turning into a streak of light as he flew out, disappearing from the meeting room.
Tatsumaki stretched somewhat impatiently:
"I know, I know! Honestly! Always bossing me around!"
Despite her words, Tatsumaki did not dally with King's request. Enveloped in Psychokinesis, she turned into a green light and disappeared from the meeting room...
