Chapter 209 Heroes' Meeting

The detailed battle between Bai Ye and Long Juan late at night was cut by 10 words.

On the internet, the news that 34 high-ranking heroes of A rank or above were collectively placed on the wanted list and subsequently died yesterday has instantly stirred up a huge storm.

Since the establishment of the Hero Association, although monsters have continued to appear and at an increasingly higher frequency, the total number of deaths of all heroes has not exceeded 10.

As for heroes of A rank and above, they suffered almost no losses. Apart from those who retired voluntarily or due to injuries, only Sexy Prisoner was reported dead.

But the deaths of 34 high-ranking heroes in just one day naturally shocked the entire society.

In response to external doubts, the Hero Association's reply was very simple: "These heroes on the list are undercover agents infiltrated by the Monster Association!"

Subsequently, the Hero Association released information about the Monster Association.

The Monster Association's goal is to destroy the Hero Association and then rule the entire Earth.

There are about twenty monsters of Demon level or higher that require an S-class hero to defeat.

This news quickly overshadowed the hero's death, and even the S-class heroes were shocked, realizing that there was such a powerful force lurking in the shadows.

While these people were inquiring with the association, they received another piece of information: it turned out that this information came from the S-class hero KING.

Furthermore, the association publicly stated that in order to obtain this information, KING was surrounded by multiple monsters. Although he survived, he had lost his fighting ability.

……

The next morning, at the entrance of the Hero Association headquarters, King, with his Emperor Engine activated, nervously stared at the staff in front of him.

He was now preparing to receive the verdict from his staff.

A staff member in a black suit said in a serious tone, "I regret to inform you, Mr. KING, that because you do not meet the requirements of the Hero Association, your hero status will be officially revoked starting today."

"As for the resources you previously obtained from the association, the association will not take them back. The public will also announce that you were seriously injured in the battle with the Monster Association and are unable to perform hero work. We hope you can cooperate."

As they spoke, the staff member couldn't help but feel helpless.

After the White Night reforms, the Hero Association places a greater emphasis on strength; without sufficient power, no matter how many missions are completed, one cannot reach a higher level.

Furthermore, when advancing in rank, each active hero must undergo a physical test in the presence of multiple referees to confirm their suitability for the upcoming hero role, with a minimum of one test per year.

After testing, it turned out that the legendary strongest hero, KING, was just an ordinary person with a weak body and no superpowers.

The so-called Emperor Engine is just a slightly faster heartbeat, with no other distinguishing features... This is simply a huge scandal.

When the association's senior management learned of this, they collectively broke down and, after a meeting, decided to cover it up as much as possible, which led to the current situation.

"I understand. This is what I've been trying to explain for the past few years, but either I didn't have the opportunity or you didn't believe me. Now I can finally relax."

Hearing that he didn't have to pay compensation, King's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he felt relieved.

The staff member glanced at KING with disappointment, then said nothing more and turned to walk into the association.

Watching the other person's back as they entered the association, King sighed softly, then felt a hand on his shoulder.

A concerned voice rang in his ear: "Mr. KING, are you alright? The news says you were ambushed by the Monster Association and have completely lost your fighting ability."

King turned around and found Atomic Samurai with his hand on his shoulder, observing him.

He hurriedly explained, "It's okay, it's just that I overused my abilities and can't recover them anymore. I can only be an ordinary person from now on."

"That's such a pity," Atomic Samurai sighed after receiving the reply. "So, what are your plans now? Do you need my help?"

"It doesn't matter. Even without superpowers, I'm a gaming expert. I can make a living by mastering games."

King said confidently, then asked, "But Mr. Atomic Samurai, why did you suddenly come to the Hero Association?"

"Of course it's because of the Monster Association information you risked your life to bring out." Bang, his body bandaged and with multiple broken bones, stepped forward with a cane and said:

"Most of the S-class and above heroes have arrived here to prepare to deal with the threat of the Monster Association."

Upon hearing Bang's words, King immediately broke out in a cold sweat and chuckled dryly, "Oh... I see."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with KING, the two arrived at the conference room, where several heroes were already waiting. Among them, Bang was the first to notice Bai Ye's figure.

Bai Ye was leaning back in his chair with a relaxed expression. When Bang entered, she glanced at him briefly and then ignored him.

As for Tornado, she sat at the table opposite Bai Ye, yawning from time to time, looking somewhat exhausted.

"Are you Mr. Nemesis?"

At that moment, a man whose body was mostly modified by machinery entered from outside. Upon seeing Bai Ye, he said solemnly, "I am Genos, Saitama's apprentice. Please take care of me from now on."

"Oh, Baiye, you're here too." A bald man appeared behind Genos and said, "What's the matter with the previous duel invitation?"

"No problem, I've thought about it carefully. The official duel will be in a month, and I'll let you know then." As Bai Ye said this, Saitama's eyes immediately lit up.

He had previously thought that Bai Ye possessed the same physique as him, and that they would be able to fight each other head-on in a month?

After waiting for another half hour, as the S-class heroes arrived one after another, a high-ranking member of the association walked in from outside.

After scanning the area, he sighed, "It seems the demolition hasn't happened yet. Let's get straight to the point."

"As you all have probably heard, the information about the Monster Association has been confirmed. In order to deal with this impending threat, we must prepare in advance."

The high-ranking official said solemnly, "Therefore, we are preparing to assemble and subdue the monsters. According to the intelligence we have provided, the Monster Association's lair is located underground in Z City."

"To prevent the disaster from escalating, we should take advantage of their inability to react and storm the city within a day, annihilating all the enemies."

At this moment, Child Emperor raised his hand and questioned, "Wait, isn't this a bit too rushed? We're not ready yet!"

The other heroes on the scene also had different expressions. They didn't expect the time to be so tight. They hadn't even gotten themselves into their best condition before they had to face the monsters' attack.
