Chapter 137: Mr. King is Holding Back GOD Alone?!
City Z
"Superalloy Rocket Elbow!!"
Nyan stared at the black muscle-beast closing in on him. He felt as if judgment day had arrived. Every hair on his body stood on end as if he'd been struck by lightning.
Where the hell did this monster come from?!
Facing a life-or-death crisis, Nyan realized it was too late to dodge. He gathered every ounce of his Divine Power into his claws and unleashed a frantic, desperate barrage of slashes.
Looking at the weak, insignificant claw strikes, Darkshine's mouth curled into a confident smirk. The luster on his muscles grew even more radiant.
He had been scared out of his wits by Diamond Sperm's perfect physique earlier, but now that Diamond Sperm had been hauled away by Blast, Darkshine was once again the most perfect specimen of muscle on the battlefield!
Darkshine himself couldn't quite explain it, but ever since he grasped the true essence of the elbow strike during the alien invasion, his confidence had reached new heights. Even his muscular durability had increased along with his ego.
Even if he suffered a temporary setback, he could instantly find a reason to restore his self-esteem.
For instance, he had been intimidated by Diamond Sperm's perfect muscles. But seeing Blast haul the monster away, Darkshine subconsciously thought:
A perfect existence like Diamond Sperm was taken away by Blast, but I wasn't. Diamond Sperm was caught; I wasn't.
Therefore: Me > Diamond Sperm!
Armed with this delusional confidence, Darkshine charged forward like a hundred-ton semi-truck loaded with steel coils. The violent wind pressure alone made it difficult for Nyan to even breathe.
In the next second, the massive muscular frame collided head-on with Nyan's sharp claws.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
An invisible shockwave exploded outward from the point of impact. Nyan let out a pathetic screech as his cat-like body was sent flying like a discarded burlap sack. He vanished into the horizon as a tiny black dot, trailing wisps of blood across the sky.
With that single hit, Nyan felt as if his internal organs had been turned to pulp and half the bones in his body had shattered.
Are you kidding me...
Nyan's pupils were flooded with blood, his gaze filled with disbelief.
He couldn't understand it. His all-out strike had failed because his attack range was too small—he had only managed to tear the muscle on Darkshine's forearm, a wound barely deep enough to show bone.
In exchange, he was nearly turned into a smear of paste. It was a completely unequal trade.
He remembered this man. This was the same dark-skinned human who had been swatted away by Diamond Sperm at the start of the fight. How could he be this strong?!
On the other side, Darkshine dug his feet deep into the pavement, carving a trench dozens of meters long before his momentum finally stopped.
Looking toward where Nyan had been launched, and savoring the memory of the crisp crunch of breaking bones he'd heard upon impact, Darkshine's confidence soared even higher.
He struck a pose designed to make his lats look as wide as a barn door, his skin shimmering brilliantly under the sun.
"This is me. Superalloy Darkshine! The third person in the Hero Association you absolutely must not provoke! Any monster who crosses me will be crushed under the weight of my muscles!"
Watching Nyan get blasted into the unknown, the previously arrogant Homeless Emperor froze. Cold sweat began to drip down his forehead.
This is bad!
He turned to flee, a disc of energy manifesting beneath his feet, but he was pinned in place a second later.
Tatsumaki, who had been lying on the ground, stood up. Facing the increasingly terrified Homeless Emperor, she raised her hand. He was instantly locked in a psychic grip, unable to move a muscle. His bones began to groan and creak, on the verge of being twisted into a knot.
Ultimately, however, Tatsumaki suppressed the urge to grind him into a meat pie. She held him firmly in place with her telekinesis.
According to Child Emperor's analysis, this "Homeless Emperor" was likely the one closest to their target. He had previously claimed to be blessed by GOD and had likely undergone a second empowerment.
The heroes had too little intel on this "GOD." They needed to capture someone who knew the truth and interrogate them. Homeless Emperor was the perfect candidate.
Realizing he was completely restrained and unable to escape, Homeless Emperor knew his time was up, but his mouth remained vicious.
"Look at you 'Heroes.' Do you really think you've won?! I'm telling you! The Supreme, All-Good, and All-Powerful GOD has not even made His move yet! The moment He does, you lowly humans will be nothing but dust!"
"If it weren't for your 'Strongest Man on Earth' King blocking our Lord's path, He would have personally descended to crush you all long ago!"
Homeless Emperor's fanatical shouting echoed in the air. Both Tatsumaki and Darkshine, standing nearby, froze in shock.
"Mr. King is blocking GOD alone? Now that you mention it... I haven't seen a sign of Mr. King since this started. Could it be...?"
Darkshine's eyes went wide.
