As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

At this moment, in J City, around a three-meter-tall fish-man lay one person after another whose fate was unknown.

"Great, really great! I'm so happy! Is anyone else here? Let me be happy a little longer!"

The fishman was overjoyed. Although he had some injuries, they didn't affect him much. The others, however, were lying on the ground, completely unable to move. Most of them were people who had undergone genetic modification by the House of Evolution, but even they were helpless against this powerful fishman.

"But speaking of which, when did humans become so powerful? It seems we'll have to put in a lot of effort to conquer the land!" the fishman said thoughtfully as he stood on the road.

"Never mind, so what if you're powerful? You can't defeat me, the King of the Deep Sea. Watch me crush you all, and then you won't have to worry about anything anymore."

After saying that, Deep Sea King continued forward.

At this moment, countless people are hiding in a huge shelter.

"Daddy, will we be alright?" a little girl asked a burly man, crying in his arms.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. We have so many powerful people in J City, I'm sure the crisis will be over soon," the burly man said with a smile to the little girl in his arms.

However, despite saying that, the burly man actually regretted his earlier hesitation. He could be considered one of the first people to undergo genetic optimization, and after the House of Evolution launched its genetic modification service, many people in his batch participated in the modification and their strength far surpassed his. However, the burly man was still somewhat resistant to this genetic modification, after all, people who had been modified no longer looked like humans.

But now he had some regrets. When the crisis came, his friends went straight to the monsters called the Deep Sea and defeated them, but he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines. And then, it seemed that even more powerful monsters appeared behind them. He could only come here to take refuge with his family, just like an ordinary person.

At this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself, what was the purpose of his genetic optimization in the first place? Wasn't it to protect his family in times of crisis? But now he was rejecting greater power because of a little side effect, which left him still so powerless.

"Damn it!" the burly man said, somewhat unwilling to accept it.

In fact, there are many people like this. Basically, everyone who has undergone gene optimization has this idea. They undergo gene optimization for various reasons in order to gain power. However, when faced with even greater power, they either become complacent or give up due to the side effects. At this crucial moment, the power they thought they had enough is useless, which makes them feel resentful.

As a result, after this incident, the previously lukewarm gene modification project suddenly became a hot topic, but that's another story.

At this moment, the people in the shelter were waiting for news of victory from outside, but just then...

boom......

Suddenly, the wall of the shelter was smashed open, and a giant fish-man, three meters tall, appeared before everyone.

Chapter Eighty-Six: The True Hero

"Hello. And goodbye," Deep Sea King said, looking at the large number of humans in the shelter.

Upon seeing the appearance of this Deep Sea King, fear appeared on everyone's faces.

"Wait..." Just then, a person appeared in front of the Deep Sea King, raised his hands and said, "We surrender. We will grant you any request, so please do not attack."

At this moment, the person standing before the Deep Sea King was actually a C-rank hero. However, a C-rank hero was no match for a Demon-level calamity, so he sought refuge in a shelter. He never expected to encounter a Demon-level calamity head-on.

At this moment, all he could think of was how to buy some time and wait for a truly powerful hero to come to his rescue.

However, he was actually very resentful about his current actions, feeling that as a hero, he had to do such a thing.

"Surrender? Hahahaha, whether you surrender or not, you're all doomed. I'll kill you all. As for my request, it's to let out a joyful scream before you die." However, the Deep Sea King's words made the C-rank hero's face turn deathly pale.

What are we going to do? This is so embarrassing. We couldn't buy enough time for an S-class sergeant to arrive quickly. But how are we going to deal with this monster? There's no way we can buy time through negotiation.

However, at that moment, two people suddenly jumped out from around them.

"Ha, count me in."

A hero? Turns out I'm not the only one.

"Even if I'm at the bottom 38th, I'm still an A-level hero. I'll do it if I say I will." Just then, another guy in a leopard-print suit walked out.

"I'm a hero too! Vestman is here!" Seeing yet another hero step forward, this C-rank hero, Vestman, shouted loudly, his face covered in sweat. Although flustered, he knew that as a hero, he had to step up.

"Count me in too. I may not be a hero, but I've at least undergone genetic optimization, so I might be able to help in some way." Just then, the burly man who had been protecting his daughter stood up. If he didn't step forward at a time like this, who else could protect his family?

"Count me in too."

"Me too."

............

In that short period of time, a dozen muscular men suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

As more and more people stood up, the scene became quite spectacular.

Tank Top Man looked around at the scene, and the tension in his heart eased a little.

One A-level, one B-level, two C-level, and a dozen or so gene optimizers. There's potential! There's potential!

The Deep Sea King looked at the large number of people standing in front of him and suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, very good, very good. Although it's just crushing bugs, it would be quite boring if the bugs didn't put up any resistance. Let me have a little fun!"

After saying that, Deep Sea King charged straight at the crowd.

............

"So, this isn't enough to protect my family?" The burly man, sent flying by Deep Sea King's punch, felt as if his body was falling apart. Moving again was impossible, and his companions around him were in similar condition. Even the powerful A-class hero, who had only managed to block a few more blows, was sent flying by Deep Sea King's punch, crashing through the roof of the shelter and flying outside. Now, no one was able to stand up.

"What? Why is everyone so quiet? Let me have a little more fun with those screams before they died!" After killing everyone who blocked his way, the Deep Sea King casually tossed aside the one he was now powerless to fight. He turned to look at the ordinary humans below.

"Are you a member of the Deep Sea Clan?" Just then, a voice suddenly entered the shelter.

Looking up, they saw a figure standing in the hole created when the A-level hero was knocked away.

"So what if it is?" the Deep Sea King replied.

Just as Deep Sea King answered, the figure leaped onto the ground. This person was none other than Jeros.

"Are you the new soldier?" Deep Sea King didn't sense any danger at all and slowly prepared to turn around. However, at that moment, the other party's figure punched Deep Sea King in the face with extremely fast speed.

His arm was wreathed in flames, and with a powerful impact, carrying the flames with it, he sent the Deep Sea King flying with a single punch.

The scorching flames even caused the heavy rain outside to stop for two seconds before resuming its downpour.

Everyone present was stunned. From the dire situation to the crisis being averted, only a few seconds had passed; such a rapid change left many people still reeling.

"Was that the last enemy?" Geralt asked the people in the shelter, looking at the Deep Sea King who had disappeared.

Immediately, everyone realized what was happening and began to cheer loudly.

However, at that moment, the situation changed again. A dark figure suddenly appeared behind Jeros, grabbed one of Jeros's arms, and punched him in the face, sending him flying and crashing into the wall of the shelter.

So, Gerald, how did you, a perfectly good guy, end up with the bad habits of a villain?

This sudden scene brought everyone's cheers to an abrupt halt.

"I'm angry!" Deep Sea Queen said angrily. The side of her face that had been attacked by Genos was completely mangled, revealing her teeth. Her face was also covered in blue blood.

"I'm going to completely destroy you."

As for Jeros, although he did not lose consciousness under such an attack, half of his body was damaged, and the sparks from the short circuit could even be seen.

"How many times have I been careless like this? Why can't I learn it?"

Jeros struggled to his feet.

"Those who can still move, hurry up and run! I might not be able to beat him. While I can still hold him off, run!"

Upon hearing Gerald's words, everyone present panicked and started running. They were just ordinary people, and now they had no ability to resist except to run away.

"Not even one... can escape!"

Seeing people begin to flee, Deep Sea King quickly charged towards the fleeing crowd. However, at that moment, Genos unleashed a burst of flames from his feet, charging directly towards Deep Sea King. The two clashed. The battle was fierce, neither gaining the upper hand. However, to some extent, Genos, having lost an arm due to his earlier carelessness, was now significantly weakened in combat.

Even under these circumstances, Deep Sea King was still unable to gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation. He was even punched into the sky by Genos, who then jumped into the air and suddenly flashed a light, like a flashbang, directly blinding Deep Sea King.

The Deep Sea King was powerless to resist, and at this moment, Geralt naturally could not let go of this opportunity, and kicked the Deep Sea King directly to the ground.

"Machine gun sweeping punch!"

With this path leading to the entrance, Geralt unleashed a barrage of punches directly at Deep Sea King, but these attacks seemed to have little effect on him.

After Deep Sea King was knocked to the ground, he instantly changed his attack, punching Genos in the arm. Genos immediately defended, and the two were locked in a stalemate.

Just then, a little girl in the fleeing crowd suddenly shouted to Jeros, "Go for it, big brother!"

The little girl was the daughter of the burly man from before, and he was being led away by another kind citizen as they fled.

However, this sound drew the attention of the Deep Sea King, who then spat out a glob of acid towards the little girl.

"You little brat, just cross this out."

"Hanako!!" The burly man cried out in anguish as he watched his daughter about to die from such an attack, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly blocked the girl's path, and it was none other than Jeros.

Immediately under the corrosive effect of the acid, most of Gerald's body was corroded away, and even his steel equipment was not spared, leaving only his spine and some muscles.

At that moment, Deep Sea King strolled over, grabbed Genos by the head, and threw him against the wall. He then jumped over and delivered an additional punch that sent Genos flying out of the shelter.

"You could have easily dodged that dissolving liquid by yourself, but you risked your life to protect the brat. Although you're an idiot, at least you gave me some minor injuries, which is commendable. It's a pity you're healed." Shen Haiwang patted his fully recovered face with his right hand and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Alright, you can die now." Just as Deep Sea King was about to deliver the final blow to Genos.

Suddenly a voice came from behind the Deep Sea King.

"Justice strikes!"

With a roar, a bicycle crashed into the back of Deep Sea King. Although the attack had no effect on Deep Sea King, it did draw his attention.

"The righteous cyclist, the unlicensed rider, has arrived!"

Behind Deep Sea King, Mumen Rider shouted loudly, panting.

However, this unlicensed rider is only a C-class hero. Although he is ranked number 1, his combat strength is not strong, even weaker than that of genetically optimized humans.

Even under these circumstances, Mumen Rider fearlessly charged toward Deep Sea King, who was two or three times his size.

"I'm bored." Deep Sea King reached out his hand, somewhat bored, and grabbed Mumen Rider's fist. Then, his huge hand gripped Mumen Rider's fist and arm, and like tossing a doll, he slammed Mumen Rider up and down onto the ground.

After this happened several times, Mumen Rider was thrown off. Deep Sea King was left with only Mumen Rider's glove, which had broken off during the struggle. Mumen Rider thus escaped unscathed.

Watching the unlicensed rider fly away, Deep Sea King turned his head in a daze.

"Sorry, I'll send you on your way now." With that, Deep Sea King walked towards Jeros, who was lying on the ground.

"A righteous embrace..."

However, at that moment, the Mumen Rider who had been thrown out earlier suddenly rushed over and hugged Deep Sea King, but his attack had no effect whatsoever.

Although he used all his strength, he could not shake the Deep Sea King even if he stood still.

However, after being interrupted repeatedly, the Deep Sea King's expression turned ferocious.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he sent the unlicensed rider flying more than ten meters away.
