Chapter 125: Where is Humanity's Hope?
The buck-toothed man muttered to himself, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
He was the powerful S-Class hero as mysterious as Blast, the second most enigmatic existence in the entire Hero Association: Metal Knight (Bofoi).
Few had seen his true face. Even Child Emperor had only once served as his assistant before parting ways.
As the data uploaded by Child Emperor was fully analyzed, Metal Knight's expression grew cold, and his brows furrowed.
"To possess such a high level of energy... It seems I can't stay hidden this time..."
Metal Knight swiped his finger across the screen. Images of cool, high-tech mechanical units appeared on the massive display one after another.
"Even facing a crisis of this magnitude, I still have to keep an eye on 'The Organization.' Fine. I'll dispatch 30 Dragon-level robots first."
VRRRRRMMM!!
In a desolate wilderness, a massive rumbling sound echoed in all directions. A fissure thousands of meters long cracked open on the surface. Countless rocks fell into the sudden abyss, only to be blown out by a violent gale.
The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out in the uninhabited forest. From the darkness of the fissure, thirty pairs of glowing red mechanical eyes revealed themselves.
[Target Destination: City Z.]
[Mission Objective: Investigate the source of the special energy, arrange for civilian safety, assist other Hero Association S-Class heroes in combat, and construct temporary shelters.]
[Participants: 30 Units. Dragon-Level Robots, Serial Numbers 15 to 45.]
[DEPART.]
Thirty colossal robots, nearly five meters tall and equipped with advanced weaponry, flew out of the fissure. Their hard, silvery-white shells glinted coldly in the sunlight.
BOOM!
Rear thrusters erupted with scorching flames. The thirty Dragon-level robots piloted by Metal Knight streaked across the sky, leaving silver trails as they shot straight for the distant City Z.
......
Prison.
"Haha! Sonic-baby, where are you? Don't let me catch you~"
In a large open yard, the muscular Puri-Puri Prisoner was blindfolded with a thick black cloth, playing a game of tag with a beaming smile.
Not far from him, Sonic's face was as dark as water. He gripped a sharp stone he had just picked up from the ground, his eyes burning with vengeful fury.
Daring to expose your weakness to me so recklessly? You're completely looking down on me! Or do you think I'm helpless?!
These past few days, Sonic had been living a life worse than death, harassed daily by this perverted gay muscle man. It was endlessly annoying.
If not for his extreme speed—which had become even faster after discarding certain things—Puri-Puri Prisoner would have succeeded long ago.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil, but what you have is often not cherished.
Now, Puri-Puri Prisoner was solely focused on Sonic. The other prisoners were practically banished to the "Cold Palace"; he only wanted to conquer this super-fast little darling.
However, Sonic had no weapons, and conventional weapons couldn't hurt a monster like Puri-Puri Prisoner with his impressive defense anyway. He had been forced to endure.
In Sonic's heart, the priority of killing Puri-Puri Prisoner had surpassed even Saitama and King. He was listed as a must-kill target.
But now is a good chance!
After spending time together, Puri-Puri Prisoner had let his guard down around Sonic. He even dared to blindfold himself to play this so-called tag game.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he missed this, he might never get another chance to kill this guy.
DIE!!
Sonic snorted coldly. His body turned into an afterimage and vanished, reappearing directly above Puri-Puri Prisoner. The sharp edge of the stone aimed straight at his skull.
The ninja known for his patience now wore a savage grin. Veins pulsed on his face, filled with the excitement of impending revenge.
Finally... finally I can kill this guy!
Just then, the S-Class emergency phone tucked in Puri-Puri Prisoner's back pocket vibrated violently.
"Oh!"
Puri-Puri Prisoner's expression changed. He waited for the vibration to finish before pulling it out, ripping off his blindfold in the process.
Seeing this, Sonic's heart skipped a beat. He threw the stone into the air and kicked off it mid-air, using it as a fulcrum to leap away rapidly.
A major reason he hadn't been able to kill Puri-Puri Prisoner these past few days was that he no longer dared to engage in close-quarters combat under normal circumstances.
The psychological trauma left from before was too severe. Just recalling the feeling of being held in those arms made Sonic want to vomit.
This intense physiological discomfort reduced his combat effectiveness by more than half.
Damn it! Why did he take off the blindfold suddenly?!
While Sonic was bewildered, a look of determination flashed across Puri-Puri Prisoner's face. He grabbed his prison uniform and ripped it apart, revealing his rock-hard muscles.
A trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. Then, he leaped onto the prison wall, waving affectionately to the confused prisoners below, especially to Sonic.
"Goodbye, my babies! When I come back from this mission, I promise my love for you will triple!"
With that, Puri-Puri Prisoner jumped down without hesitation, rushing out of the prison and charging toward City Z.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened in City Z, he knew the Hero Association had classified this operation as a potential God-level disaster.
He didn't know what kind of terror lay ahead, or if an S-Class hero at the bottom of the rankings like him could be useful, or even survive.
He didn't know.
If he died, his harem of darlings in the prison would leave him. Even facing such a heavy price, Puri-Puri Prisoner marched forward bravely.
Because he was an S-Class Hero.
If even the S-Class heroes standing at the pinnacle of strength didn't dare to step forward, then where was humanity's hope?
