I can only say that the ordinary people here are very smart. They all go to the nearest shelter to hide until they can no longer escape the city. Few people are stupid enough to wait for death in the open space.

The high-rise buildings in City Z suffered the greatest damage, and Krieg's tattered body was no use for the Beach Boys. Genos went to deal with the debris again, so Krieg continued to free fall and fell to the street, smashing a big hole in the asphalt road.

The degree of damage to the body is acceptable. Krieg carefully controlled the Thunder of Ba to clean up the bloodstains. The blood of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle is not red, and it would be too dangerous if it was seen by others.

"It's a bit of a loss," Krieg silently calculated his losses. The meteorite's power was much greater than he'd imagined. The cold data couldn't reflect the shock he felt when he crashed into it.

Fortunately, in the original work, it was Saitama who blocked the meteorite. If he had not arrived because of Genos, perhaps only Tornado could deal with the meteorite.

"Yo, Krieg, you okay?"

Saitama was the first to notice him, and his question left Krieg speechless. If he didn't know Saitama's character, he would have thought that this guy was mocking him.

"Do you have poor eyesight?"

"Eyesight? My eyesight is fine. Why are you asking?"

Saitama's simple answer completely convinced Krieger, "It's okay, come and help me."

"What? You're leaving the conversation halfway," Saitama said, grabbing Krieg's shoulder armor and pulling him out of the ground. "You should have told me there was a meteorite. If I hadn't seen it through the telescope, I wouldn't have known this would happen."

"No, this is my chance to increase my popularity. It's better if you don't know." Krieg straightened up and moved slowly. The broken wound had healed while he was talking, but some bones were in the wrong place. Krieg had a cold face, raised his hand, crushed the bones in his palm, and then waited for it to heal.

"Your treatment method is really special." Saitama broke out in a cold sweat. Krieg looked at him sideways. He doubted whether Saitama still remembered the feeling of broken bones.

Still with no hope of catching up with Saitama, Krieg breathed a sigh of relief and waited for his bones to heal slowly.

"I'll stay at your house for a while," Krieg thought. It would take a few days for things to ferment, and it would be better for him not to show up during this period. He needed the credit for smashing the meteorite, but there would definitely be idiots from the Vest Family who would come to provoke him. Judging from the IQ of this group of people, they would openly provoke the Hero Association and probably think they were messengers of justice. Krieg didn't want to solve this unnecessary trouble at this juncture.

The technology in this world is too weird. With conscious vigilance, it is difficult to make a few minions disappear from the world. But after he became an idol, it was no problem.

"Wait, you're staying at my house?! There's no room for you here," Saitama said anxiously. "Forget about anything else. If you stay in the living room, there's no place to put the video game console!"

"Krieg looked at him with a strange look, "What are you talking about, a guy living in a no-man's land?"

Why are Saitama-sensei and Krieger so close?!

After solving some of the fragments, Genos was hovering in the air. At this moment, he suddenly realized something and took out a small notebook from his pocket and continued to write. [Appropriate humor can enhance the relationship with Saitama teacher. Saitama teacher has an extraordinary interest in video games].

Today's Genos has been elevated from a white scholar to a stalker, which is really cause for celebration.

In the evening, the crisis in City Z was resolved and the news began to report that it was happening. The main characters being promoted were Genos and Silver Fang. Of course, due to Genos's popularity, Genos got more coverage.

Of course, the honest man Genos called out the video, proving that it was Krieg who shattered the meteorite. Public opinion tended to believe that the two S-class heroes intended to train the A-class hero Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle and gave him a chance to perform. However, it is true that the name of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle began to appear in official media.

Originally, the children in the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle Fan Club were very excited, and their parents had also heard this name from their own children. For a time, Krieg's popularity began to rise rapidly.

Genos apologized for the miscalculation and began to control online public opinion, focusing on titles that tried to sow discord between heroes, such as "It was the A-class heroes who took action, so why did these S-class heroes contribute without doing anything?" The red scarf fighter was the first to charge for his idol. This provocative title was more eye-catching than the meteorite crisis. The humans in this world have become accustomed to an uncertain life, but gossip is always part of their nature. At the same time, a large number of reports on the Hero Association's dereliction of duty began to appear.

Under Genos's instigation, the Hero Association turned a blind eye to the crisis behind this problem, and instead allowed public opinion to ferment. They needed to divert attention from their dereliction of duty due to the meteorite incident. Even if it was a temporary solution, it was better than collapsing on the spot. S-class heroes were the essence of the Hero Association, and they were irreplaceable. As for other heroes, the association could only say sorry, and they could only promise to provide compensation after public attention was diverted.

With the Hero Association's indulgence, Krieg's reputation became more and more famous. For a time, he was even regarded as the representative of freedom. Reporters who were eager to see the world in chaos gave him various titles of freedom fighter, which made even a guy like Krieg who had no moral integrity at all blush.

Where did this in-depth report come from? Why don’t I remember anyone interviewing me?!

Krieg has been living next door to Saitama's house, and Genos also found a reason to move in, so Krieg even had no food to eat. Fubuki came to his house once and invited Krieg to join the Fubuki team as usual. At the same time, Krieg got a lot of information from her, the most useful of which was probably the opinions of the S-class heroes.

Their opinions were basically equivalent to having no opinions at all. The high-ranking S-class heroes didn't care about such a small matter at all, so the last piece of the puzzle was put into place.

"Get ready," Kinos said frivolously, unable to conceal his excitement even over the phone. "Tomorrow, it's going to be fun."

Chapter 194 The Divided Hero Association

"Krieg-chan, why did you get up so early today?" Saitama opened his eyes wide. After being woken up by mosquitoes in the morning, he walked to the balcony waving an electric mosquito swatter and started a desperate fight with the mosquitoes. Krieg next to him couldn't bear it and helped him kill the mosquito with a snap of his fingers. Only then did Saitama, who was still in a daze, realize that Krieg was doing gymnastics on the balcony next door.

"What do you mean by Craig-chan? It would be better if you were called Craig-san. Are you a soft-hearted high school girl at heart?" Craig carefully ironed the collar of his shirt and complained to Saitama without even looking up.

"No, not now." Saitama looked up at the sky, which was still pitch black because they were in an uninhabited area. The streetlights here were sometimes not working, casting shadows all over Krieg's huge body. He looked like a monster in a horror story. "Didn't we play games all night yesterday? Are you sleepwalking now?!"

Krieg straightened up, and the huge horns on his head pierced through the concrete and into the balcony above. "Saitama, either you are talking in your sleep, or your IQ has decreased. Choose one."

"Then I'll definitely choose the first one. No, what kind of option is this? It's a trap!"

"Don't talk too loudly, what if you disturb others?"

"This is a deserted area, where did these other people come from?" Saitama, who lacked sleep, seemed to be more lively. "No, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"No," Krieg denied Saitama's words. As he said "no," the streetlights downstairs also went out. "There are actually many creatures here, you just don't see them."

"Did you use the wrong pronoun?" Saitama rubbed his head. He was a little surprised at first, thinking that Krieg knew about the Underworld King in his dream. But he immediately realized that Krieg was probably teasing him about swatting mosquitoes. "Damn it! Next time I'll definitely swat a mosquito to death for you to see. Just wait for me to throw it in your face!"

"I'm referring to the Monster Association," Krieg sighed. "Saitama's humanity seems to be growing more vibrant, and his once near-godlike mental state is returning to normal. This should be something to be thankful for." But when he thought of his own mental problems, Krieg felt a headache again. "The protagonist is really unreasonable."

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to the Hero Association to meet someone and attend a meeting. You don't have to wait for me for lunch. Just ask Genos to make one less portion."

"Huh? Speaking of which, Genos has been getting more and more lazy lately, always bringing in takeout. The kitchen hasn't been used in a while. Uh, no, why are you able to eat for free so naturally?"

"Money owed to me"

"Please be sure to come to my house for dinner, it's my honor." Saitama's expression changed very quickly, he is worthy of being the strongest man in the world!

"I'll help you swat mosquitoes as payment." Krieg paused, then smiled brightly. "Don't think about offsetting the debt."

"Are you a cold-blooded vampire from somewhere?!"

"No, I'm a rhinoceros beetle. You can tell from my face. You really haven't woken up yet." In the face of Saitama's protest, Krieg pretended not to hear anything. Sure enough, Saitama quickly gave up the protest and went back to sleep.

Krieg continued to iron in the darkness, with only the occasional flickering light illuminating his eyes.

Nine o'clock in the morning, in the meeting room of the Hero Association headquarters.

"That's all about the recent situation," Shi Chen closed the file and sat back in his seat. "Ordinary people outside have a huge misunderstanding of us. We need you to find a solution as soon as possible. Fundraising is already a huge problem. Rebuilding the city will take more than ten years, and based on current fundraising estimates, we won't be able to raise enough funds to rebuild the city. Even just resettling the homeless would take up all of our current reserve funds."

"All the funds?" There was a lot of discussion in the meeting room.

"Yes, I think you may have overestimated the Hero Association's financial reserves. Although I haven't disclosed this to you in detail before, the Association has always been operating under debt. At the same time, we have no stable channels, and it is difficult to fill this gap simply through public fundraising. I believe you all agree that the Association's reputation is more important than funds. We cannot default!"

"Can Mr. Algeni provide a temporary loan?"

"It's difficult. Data shows that many financial groups have recently targeted Mr. Algni's businesses. Due to the monster attacks, Mr. Algni needs to maintain a large amount of cash for the time being, so the help he can provide is limited."

"Isn't this the fault of these S-class heroes? There's also the A-class Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle! He can clearly stop the fragments," some senior council members were indignant.

"First, let me tell you about Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle. He's now ranked second in A-rank. Apparently, he has S-rank strength. Sweet Mask has already requested contact with him. If all goes well, he'll soon be an S-rank hero."

"S-rank, huh, just a newly promoted S-rank, there's no need to be so scared."

"Let me reiterate," Shi Chen knocked on the table, "The core of the Hero Association is the S-class heroes, not you. If you have a conflict with any S-class hero, the association will not stand on your side. You should also be aware that the association is not your private property!"

"What if someone thinks so?" Kinos suddenly raised his hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Some participants expressed their dissatisfaction on the spot. The strong rise of Genos itself made many people dissatisfied. There are only so many positions here, and this guy has only been here for a month, but he is already considered a member of the senior management. If he continues at this rate, next month the Hero Association will only have Genos's opinions.

What's the use of us? The faction representing hedonism and conservatism is targeting Kinos with all its might, and Kinos is also willing to let them target him. A person with shortcomings has cohesion, and the incompetence shown by Kinos has indeed made many speculators join his camp.

"This is a meeting, don't bring in personal emotions," the meeting host had to clap the microphone repeatedly to calm these people down, and at the same time, the host glared at Kinos fiercely.

The once prosperous Hero Association has split, and everyone knows about it. Previously, they could be said to be united in appearance but divided in spirit, but now the conflicts between the different factions have basically become public. Coupled with the S-class Hero Association that has never been disciplined and the wealthy man Argni who has always influenced the association, the power of the association is facing unprecedented decline.

Chapter 195 Association President Kinos

"I'm the number one A-class hero, Sweet Mask."

The blue-haired man sitting across from Krieg introduced himself, "You are the second in Class A, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle."

Sweet Mask stared at Krieg for a moment before continuing, "I'm guessing your next step is to become an S-class hero. It's pretty obvious that you're not that respectful of the Hero Association, so I just came to see you ahead of time. After all, there are plenty of unqualified people trying to get into the S-class ranks, and I have to see who's trying to enter the territory I protect."

"That's it? I thought you would be busy during the day," Krieg shrugged. Sweet Mask wanted to see him after the meteorite ended. Krieg had to go out today, so he chose to agree to Sweet Mask's request today.

"You mean filming? That kind of thing just requires advance notice. Artists who are bound by the company are immature." Sweet Mask coquettishly smoothed over her hair. Krieger, who had no fondness for this guy, was even more annoyed by this. "If there's nothing else, I should be attending the Hero Association meeting."

"No, I have something to do," Sweetheart Mask stirred the coffee and leaned back in a chair in a rather relaxed posture. "Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, you are a victim of monsterization."

Sweetheart Mask said this in an unquestionable tone. Hearing Krieg's sneer in his heart, his emotions became more and more out of control. When he heard Sweetheart Mask's tone, his first thought was to pin this guy to the ground.

Sweet Mask, whose real name is Krieg, hates irresponsible heroes, evil, and seemingly other things. Not only does he moonlight as both a hero and an idol, he also serves as a special publicity advisor for the association. Despite his popularity and fan following, he's a part-time hero and idol.

He is considered an extreme heroic character, and his strength is higher than some S-class heroes.

Krieg nodded, in response to Sweet Mask's question. This guy's obsession with justice was simply incomprehensible. When Zombie Man and he were on the opposite side of each other, Sweet Mask shouted at him: "You are actually a weirdo." Faced with Boros destroying a city, this guy blamed the S-class heroes who really contributed after the incident. Krieg couldn't understand where his position was, nor could he understand what his justice was.

There can't be a conflict now. The most outstanding ability of Sweet Mask is self-healing ability. The Hero Association will be the highlight next. Krieg can't waste time because of Sweet Mask. The justice in this guy's heart has no bottom line. He just needs to slowly correct his personality later.

"I heard that you are an experimental subject who escaped from the House of Evolution. You have the same background as Zombieman. After escaping from the House of Evolution, you became close friends with Genos, who solved the incident at the House of Evolution. At the same time, you decided to inflict your pain on monsters. You are famous for your ruthless extermination of monsters." Sweetheart Mask read out the information he had compiled about Krieg, while his eyes were focused on Krieg's micro-expressions, expecting the appearance of this look of surprise.

Krieg's expression did change. His mouth opened slightly and his eyes became dull. He looked extremely speechless.

There is not a single correct word in this information. I am sorry for you.

The corners of Krieg's mouth twitched slightly, and Sweetheart Mask nodded in satisfaction, interpreting this as Krieg's resentment towards being transformed. Sweetheart Mask had collected data on all the heroes, aiming for the effect of knowing both oneself and the enemy.

Although I don't know what you have realized, I know that you are a fool. Krieg's attention to Sweetheart Mask has dropped a level.

"Well, since you have a meeting, I won't disturb you. I hope you will continue to walk steadfastly on the path of justice," Sweetheart Mask stood up and extended his hand to Krieg. Krieg looked at him with disgust, stretched out two fingers and shook hands with him. "I will continue to observe you," Sweetheart Mask's tone contained expectation and warning, and then he signaled Krieg that he could leave.

At this moment, Krieg suddenly felt a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence. Sweetheart Mask did not feel that his behavior was confusing at all, but waved goodbye to Krieg.

The tone of this world is that the more unreliable people are, the more powerful they are. Krieg seems to have discovered the truth.

Hero Association meeting room.

Krieg stood at the door of the conference room. The noise inside had already spread to the corridor. The staff along the way didn't know whether they should listen to what was said inside or observe Krieg's appearance which was very different from that of humans.

"Dong dong dong."

He knocked on the door of the conference room and pushed it open after receiving a response. The people inside were engaged in a heated debate. Krieg alone could hear more than three completely different viewpoints.

"You're finally here. I was worried that something might have happened to you." Kinos spoke without reservation, causing the people around him to whisper again. Yata's eyes visibly lit up.

"Forgive me for being late."

"No, no, you're just in time," Kinos waved his hands, "I guess everyone in this room knows who this is. We rescued the key figure in City Z, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!" Kinos sang in an aria, and deliberately stretched out the ending tone.

"Be serious, Kinos," Shi Chen reminded him first. People here are already very dissatisfied with him, and he doesn't want to see the conflict escalate. Even if the Hero Association does not do well, it is still the most effective organization here. No matter how bad it is, it is better than each doing its own thing.

"Okay, everyone, please stop talking and listen to me. Finally, everyone is here," the meeting host interrupted Shi Chen. "Now that everyone is here, we can vote. Those who agree, do it. Those who disagree, raise your hands."

what?

Shi Chen raised his head with a bewildered look on his face, and many members around him also had confused expressions.

"Voting? What kind of proposal is this?!" Before Shi Chen asked, some members had already asked the question.

"Regarding the proposal for Kinos to become the president of the association," the host answered him slowly.

The man's face froze, and then he laughed awkwardly. "Are you kidding me? There's no such thing as the president of the Hero Association. There's only the board of directors. Genos is a newcomer. It's not good to use such a joke to welcome him."

The host didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" The person who spoke wanted to turn around to see if this was some bad prank, but what caught his eye was that more than half of the people had raised their hands, and those who didn't raise their hands were looking at those who raised their hands in confusion. For a moment, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

I must have drunk too much. That girl yesterday was so hot. The man who was talking was pinching his bald spot. He suspected he was still dreaming.

"Then more than half agree. Congratulations to Kinos for becoming the president of the association," the host led the applause, and those who raised their hands followed suit. Kinos stood up and thanked the people around him, "Thank you, thank you all for your support."

Now even the dullest person would notice that something was wrong, and several people who were already hostile to Kinos began to question loudly.

"Yada, did you know about this?" Shi Chen looked at his secretary. He couldn't believe that even the person he trusted the most applauded. And he knew nothing about it.

"Wait, what are you doing!?"

"Is this a prank or are you serious?"

"Does the Council know about this? Who approved you to do this?!"

"I approved it. Of course, this is also my first executive order as president of the association." Kinos looked at the people who were most skeptical. "Do you have any opinions?"

Krieg snorted coldly in the last row, and the momentum of killing clones immediately began to fill the conference room. Those present were all clerks, who had never seen such a situation before. Several of them fainted on the spot, and the rest did not dare to make a sound.

"I have some cloning technology here," Kinos said with a rather happy smile, "Now I think the old humans might still be saved, I want to give it a try."

ps: There is no literary drama in this world up to this point. It is so painful to write. It turns out that what I am good at is writing fighting scenes.

Chapter 196: Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist

"Teacher, have you felt that the atmosphere in the Hero Association has suddenly become better recently?"

Genos was cooking in the kitchen, Saitama was lying on the sofa pretending to be dead, and the drowsy Krieg was awakened by Genos' words. He took the hero's handbook off his face. At this time, looking at Genos, the only word that came to his mind was "virtuous".

"Really? That association has never been involved in anything from the beginning," Saitama turned over, his whole body exuding a smell like salted fish.

"No, the Hero Association." Genos' words were stuck. He always felt that the atmosphere of the association here was weird. The original Hero Association did not have the word "roots" posted everywhere. The corrupt bureaucracy seemed to have disappeared, and everyone was full of energy and confidence. When Genos passed by, he even saw that more than half of the senior executives chose to hold meetings in the gym, and they did not forget to do a few curls while expressing their opinions.

What happened in this world? Although he was complaining wildly in his heart, Genos's expressionless face really gave him an advantage, enough for him to leave the Hero Association without changing his expression, and then ran back to Saitama's house as fast as he could.

"Teacher, do you think there might be a weird person controlling them?"

"No, no, no, no, Genos, how did you develop this kind of thinking logic? You can't suspect someone is being controlled just because they suddenly become good," Saitama rubbed his head. "As for your statement that their overall behavior has improved, that's probably the top requirement. Isn't this a very common situation?"
