"Are you King?"

King stood in front of the metal robot, carrying his newly bought game, staring blankly at the robot's 'eyes'.

"……Eh?"

Genos, who was about to make a move, stopped, somewhat surprised.

"That's King, ranked seventh in the S-class?"

"Is he strong?"

Saitama asked curiously.

Genos nodded: "Very strong, known as 'the strongest man on earth,' he single-handedly took down many powerful monsters."

"Hey……"

Saitama looked at King with a hint of interest.

"King, I will defeat you!"

As the metal robot spoke, it reached behind its back and pulled out a huge metal sword, pointing it at King below.

"Listen carefully, this is a performance test of my combat AI. In order to make it easier for me to collect data, go all out."

King stared at it expressionlessly, and the Emperor Engine began to start.

Chu Chu Chu!

"What is this sound?"

Saitama turned his head and asked in confusion.

Genos looked at King and said, "This is the Emperor Engine, which means King has entered battle mode."

"Eh? Really?"

"Ah."

Genos looked at the expressionless King and said, "He remains calm even when facing such an opponent; he is indeed very strong."

King was actually terrified.

Done!

This is really the end!

King cried out in despair.

My legs were so weak I couldn't move.

Is there anyone...is there anyone who can save me?

"go to hell!"

The metal robot raised its giant metal sword and slashed down at King.

Finished!

King closed his eyes in despair.

"It's such a pity that the mighty King died like this."

A soft laugh echoed in his mind.

King suddenly opened his eyes.

That voice... is it that person?!

"Try throwing a punch forward."

Hearing the divine laughter echoing in his mind, King, who had no other choice, grasped at the last straw and punched forward with all his might without thinking.

Just die.

at the same time.

A coffee shop near the street.

The silver-haired boy, who was sitting by the window with his chin resting on his hand, snapped his fingers lazily.

then.

The giant metal robot exploded right in front of King.

40, Sweet Mask of the Event

Boom!

The explosion of the metal robot sent flames shooting into the sky.

King, still in his punching stance, stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, his face blank.

Genos, standing to the side, looked grave: "To defeat such an opponent with a single blow... is this King's strength...?"

Saitama nodded: "He's really strong."

Only King himself knows what happened.

It had nothing to do with him; it was just that person who made the move.

"Thank goodness, we're saved..."

King breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

And right now.

A small figure burst out from the flames.

"It shattered my armor in an instant."

"King, what... what on earth did you do?!"

The small, mechanical body roared and instantly unleashed countless laser beams, hurtling towards King.

King hadn't reacted yet.

Just when it seemed he was about to perish here.

King's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The lasers struck the ground, causing a series of explosions and sending flames soaring into the sky.

The small, robotic body let out a terrified scream.

"Wha, what!!"

Under the watchful eyes of Saitama and Genos, the robot that called itself G4, possessing astonishing destructive power and high intelligence, was somehow pierced through.

Cracks spread outwards from the opening at the head, emanating a powerful and dazzling energy light, resembling a cracked piece of porcelain.

"King!!"

With its final scream, the powerful mechanical body exploded, shattering the windows of buildings within a hundred meters.

Genos was speechless.

"Teacher, did you see clearly just now? What exactly did King do?"

"No, I don't know either."

"Even the teacher couldn't see it clearly... No wonder he's the strongest man on the ground."

Genos remarked sincerely.

Saitama scratched his face, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Inside an alleyway.

"Hoohoohoo."

King knelt on the ground, panting heavily, still shaken.

Wearing sunglasses, Ron sipped his milk tea, leaned against the wall, and smiled at him: "I never thought the disaster would come for you on its own. I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky."

"Of course it's unfortunate!"

King plopped down on the ground, clutching his head with both hands: "I've had enough of this terrible thing happening every time!"

Ron took a sip of his milk tea and said, "Otherwise, you're lucky to still be alive. If it were someone else, they would have died long ago."

"That's true."

King looked up at Ron, his face full of gratitude, and said, "By the way, thank you so much for saving me this time."

"It's a small matter. You probably won't die even if I don't intervene."

As Ron spoke, he turned and walked out of the alley.

King got up and followed.

He was puzzled by Ron's words: "Why?"
