It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

So, when the event organizing department, which had once again received a definite answer, announced that the competition had entered a 1-minute countdown, a Retribution-class battleship carrying 499 S-class contestants suddenly appeared in the low-altitude orbit directly above J City.

"Everything is fine in the cockpit!"

"The positioning beacon is working fine!"

"The surveillance system is working fine!"

“The rating system is working fine!”

"Attention! Prepare to drop the cockpit!"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Game start!"

456 Mumen Rider joins again

"Oh no! A huge unidentified object appeared 330 kilometers above J City! It looks like...it looks like..."

"Looks like what?"

"It looks like... a giant space battleship!"

The Retribution-class battleship was so large that it could not be ignored even in space. When the Retribution-class battleship, equipped with a full set of positioning equipment, broadcasting equipment, capture equipment, and resurrection equipment, appeared in the low-Earth orbit of World 30, it immediately attracted the attention of the Hero Association.

At the same time as the Hero Association turned the observation satellites and aimed them all at the Retribution-class battleship, the Hero Association suddenly noticed hundreds of several-meter-long cone-shaped objects being shot out from the battleship's densely packed gun muzzles. These shuttle-like objects flew straight to J City the moment they flew out of the giant battleship.

The members of the Hero Association were so frightened that their hair stood on end. They had no idea what the purpose of the giant battleship that suddenly appeared was, and they had no idea what the shuttle that was heading straight for City J was. But judging only by their past experience, these things that were flying towards City J were probably something like bombs or missiles.

"Quick! Notify Metal Knight!"

But before the Hero Association could send a request for assistance to Dr. Bofoy, the doctor had already sent a message saying that it was too late to intercept.

"You can only hope that these things flying towards J City are not bombs."

Immediately afterwards, the Hero Association fell into a long and agonizing wait.

There is no other way, after all, it is shot down from an altitude of more than 300 kilometers. Even if these airdrop capsules have a very high initial speed when leaving the ship, there are living people in the capsules after all, and it is impossible for them to fall down quickly. Moreover, when the airdrop capsule is 5 meters away from the ground, the airdrop capsule will automatically start the deceleration program.

Therefore, it takes more than 300 minutes to walk this distance of more than 5 kilometers. The cadres of the Hero Association also suffered in the conference room for more than 5 minutes.

Many of them fainted because they could not bear the huge mental pressure, and several of them almost had their blood vessels in their brains burst due to the sharp increase in blood pressure.

Fortunately, these "bombs" only created a pit when they landed, instead of exploding into giant mushrooms that towered into the sky. Before the cadres of the Hero Association could even clap their hands in celebration, these "bomb-like" things exploded one after another.

Then, the Hero Association, which restored J City's surveillance and communication signals, discovered...

"Human! There's a human in the bomb!"

At this time, 499 participants scattered throughout J City were already rushing towards the Deep Sea Tribes that could be seen everywhere like mad dogs. This group of mad dogs used both cold and hot weapons, and no monster below the ghost level could survive a single encounter in their hands.

There are also some guys who don't use weapons but are more powerful than weapons. For example, there was a middle-aged man who killed people with just his belt, and he killed dozens of weirdos on the street with one move.

Many trapped residents in the city found a chance to escape the city under the desperate fight of these mad dogs. Once these mad dogs met the surviving residents, they would try their best to protect them. The people being protected only thought that these people were kind-hearted, but they didn't know that they were just pure 100 points in their eyes.

Yes, regardless of gender, age or status, for every person rescued to the safe zone, the contestants can earn 100 points. The rules of the competition also allow these S-level contestants to form teams freely. That is to say, as long as there are more than ten or twenty people, some are responsible for fighting monsters, and others are responsible for protecting residents to the safe zone, the points earned can be divided equally among everyone in the team.

I saw that these guys had clear division of labor. Some were responsible for resisting the attack of the deep sea tribe and counterattacking during the resistance. Another person was responsible for clearing out the lone enemies behind the front line and guiding the trapped people to gather. When the crowd gathered to a certain size, someone would escort them to a safe area.

The Hero Association had no idea where this group of people came from, let alone why they were so good at fighting and so skilled at evacuation and escort work.

Suddenly, a senior member of the association suddenly remembered the label of Boss Cheng as a "cosmic warlord". He subconsciously asked: "Do you think these people... could they be the ones in the quarantine area of ​​City Z..."

"A warlord from another universe!" Several senior executives who knew Boss Cheng's "background" exclaimed in unison.

The more these people thought about it, the more possible it seemed. However, they were also worried about the hard power shown by Boss Cheng. After all, there were 499 lunatics with S-class hero strength in J City at this time, and there was a super space battleship parked in the low-Earth orbit.

Judging from the strength shown by the "Space Warlord" so far, he can even easily overthrow the world order established by the Hero Association. However, this person has been staying in the quarantine area of ​​City Z and running a small community for weirdos and ordinary people to coexist.

You want to say that he doesn't have any evil ambitions...

Although the top leaders of the Hero Association thought he didn't have it, it was not a question of "want" or "don't want". Who would believe that a guy who obviously has the power to rule the world is only willing to live an ordinary life, and even enjoys such a life?

but!

Thanks to these guys that fell from the sky, the Deep Sea Tribe attacking J City has switched from offense to defense, and even some areas have been fleeing. Only 499 people! They killed nearly Deep Sea Tribe monsters and caused their battle lines to collapse.

But...

The biggest contributor to the slaughter of the Deep Sea Tribe was actually a bald guy in the C-class hero team. Wherever the bald guy Saitama passed by, no Deep Sea Tribe monster could leave a complete corpse.

What does it mean to kill a kid with one punch?

At the same time, on Boss Cheng's side.

The Unlicensed Knight is still recovering from his injuries, but Boss Cheng has already released the Deep Sea King from the mirror space and is using his ability to manipulate space to throw plasma grenades towards the Deep Sea King.

There was no way out. The Berserker Armor had already covered the Unlicensed Knight's body. The bones that were broken by the Deep Sea King were also corrected and fixed by the Berserker Armor. But the armor itself had the effect of paralyzing the pain nerves, so even though the Unlicensed Knight's arms and legs were pierced by the metal spikes that fixed the broken bones, he had no reaction.

Even under the influence of the potion, the punctured wound actually competed with the Berserker Armor.

Without the assistance of the Berserker Armor, the boss could no longer use the Five Elements Escape Technique. That's why he used plasma grenades to roast the Deep Sea King.

And while the boss was roasting the Deep Sea King, he gradually noticed that the places where the Deep Sea King was roasted at super high temperatures always recovered faster on the rain-facing side than on the rain-facing side. The places that were hard to be drenched by rain, the speed of wound recovery was much slower than the places that were easily drenched.

"Oh! So your recovery ability all comes from water! No wonder you deep-sea people aren't so brave when it's not raining! Seafood is seafood, and you can really die without the sea!"

After that, the boss snapped his fingers, and Saitama immediately appeared at the other end of the portal. The guy was startled by the sudden appearance of the portal, and he defended himself: "I didn't forget your name on purpose. Your name is difficult to pronounce. I just often can't remember how to pronounce it."

"Oh, that's not why I came to you."

"Oh, all right."

"You're so... forget it." The boss said to Saitama through the portal: "Do you see the dark clouds in the sky? Help disperse them."

"Oh."

Then, Saitama jumped into the clouds, and then clapped his hands suddenly. Within thousands of square kilometers around him, all the rain clouds, dark clouds or white clouds disappeared in an instant.

Saitama landed and the portal closed. The boss pointed to the clear sky that caught everyone off guard and asked Deep Sea King: "How about it, do you like to bask in the sun? If you think the sun is not enough..."

Boss Cheng snapped his fingers again, and a portal with a diameter of one kilometer appeared in the stratosphere hundreds of thousands of meters above the Deep Sea King, while another portal appeared hundreds of meters above the Deep Sea King. A huge amount of cosmic rays that were not absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere directly shone on the Deep Sea King's delicate skin. It was at this moment that the Deep Sea King finally realized...

"You've been playing tricks on me!"

"Don't think too highly of yourself." The boss shrugged and smiled, "I'm just weakening you, weakening you enough to be defeated by a real hero!"

The Deep Sea King, who was "enjoying" the "radiant sunbath" that only people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had enjoyed, now had only one thought left: escape.

But how could the guy who offended Abbot Cheng escape? The boss created 17 shadow clones and rushed forward, punching the Deep Sea King with limited power.

There was no heavy rain, but the sun was full of ultraviolet rays. The eighteen hooligans led by Boss Cheng were either breaking joints or poking nerves, and occasionally playing reverse joints. After a good beating, although there were no visible injuries on the surface of Deep Sea King's body, in fact, there were injuries everywhere.

In the current state of the Deep Sea King, he can burst out 30% of his original strength. Even if the Deep Sea King is gifted and mentally resolute, the boss also retracted all the shadow clones and walked in front of the unlicensed knight after confirming the state of the Deep Sea King.

"Are you almost recovered?"

The unlicensed knight dressed in a set of skeleton plate armor nodded. The boss patted the Berserker Armor and asked him to give the unlicensed knight an image that matched his inner thoughts.

"Don't bewitch others! Do you hear me?"

The next second, a whirlwind suddenly rose into the sky with the unlicensed knight as the center. And when the whirlwind dissipated, a brand new unlicensed knight with a look that would definitely be accused broke through the whirlwind and appeared in front of the Deep Sea King and other residents who had not yet escaped.

"Mumen Rider, our ally in justice, is here again!"

457 Justice Execution

"Rider Kick!"

The unlicensed knight who jumped high and kicked the Deep Sea King had no idea that the evil spirit in the Berserker Armor, under the advice of the Soul Gem, quietly attached a Wind Style Wind Blade to the front of the unlicensed knight's right foot. It was this knight kick with the wind blade that cut off the Deep Sea King's head, causing the Deep Sea King to lose his life in shock.

However, the unlicensed knight who had completed the final kill stood still after landing. Boss Cheng immediately ran forward to check on him.

The good news is that this guy is not dead yet, at least he is still some distance away from his last breath.

The bad news is that he is not far away from death.

Healing potions can indeed heal a person's injuries for a period of time, but there is a threshold for this treatment. Once the total amount of injuries exceeds this threshold, the healing effect of the potion will disappear immediately.

It just so happens that the Berserker Armor suppresses the unlicensed knight's pain nerves, and pain is like the calorie label on food packaging. No label is equivalent to zero calories - no pain means no injury.

So the Unlicensed Knight subconsciously started a fight of exchanging injuries. Fortunately, the evil spirit had a plan in mind. When he realized that the Unlicensed Knight would definitely die before the Deep Sea King if he continued to fight, he took the initiative to intervene in the fight. Relying on the chakra stored in the Uru metal, he quietly used various defensive escape techniques to help the Unlicensed Knight reduce his injuries, while adding attribute chakra to the Unlicensed Knight's fists and feet.

In the end, he even helped the Unlicensed Knight to open his big power, which allowed the Unlicensed Knight to kick off the Deep Sea King's big head before being killed by the Deep Sea King.

(Explanation: Wind Blade is an A-level ninjutsu)

The boss took off the mask on the unlicensed knight's chin and poured another bottle of healing potion into him. This helped the unlicensed knight to survive. And because of the nerve-suppressing effect of the Berserker Armor, when he drank the potion, he couldn't even taste the disgusting taste.

Since then, the Unlicensed Knight has been welcomed by the enthusiastic crowd and warm cheers. The people he saved surrounded him, and some of them wanted to throw the Unlicensed Knight into the air. Fortunately, Boss Cheng took action in time and prevented the Unlicensed Knight from being thrown to death by these people.

23 minutes after the S-level contestants intervened in the J City crisis, nearly deep-sea creatures in the urban area and coastline of J City were all beheaded and "died" in a foreign land without exception.

The Phoenix Man who got the news and came to help finally arrived near J City. Then this guy suddenly had a brain twitch and took action without notifying Boss Cheng, and resurrected the victims of the J City disaster.

But when the boss saw the Phoenix Man passing over his head with golden light, he immediately yelled at him, "Idiot! We haven't even dealt with the enemy's body yet!"

The Phoenix Man who was scolded also cursed loudly, realizing that he had done something bad with good intentions. The Deep Sea Tribes who were originally dead and could not die anymore also recovered to their pre-death state under the bathing of holy light and climbed up again.

[Announcement to all, the competition is not over yet! ]

[Due to some technical reasons, all the deep sea tribes have been resurrected. 】

[The points rules remain unchanged, I wish you all a happy competition in advance! 】

The S-rank contestants did not show any displeasure or unhappiness towards these suddenly resurrected monsters. On the contrary, each of them showed excitement and eagerness to try. Many contestants who had been performing escort missions were full of anger.

After all, the number of idiots will increase with the growth of the population base. Even if these contestants do their best to escort the contestants, there will always be idiots who can stand out from the refugee team. These idiots know that these guys who suddenly appeared do not belong to the Hero Association, but they still treat the association's secretaries with superiority in the past and bully the contestants.

If the rules of the competition did not clearly stipulate that killing innocent people or failing to help others in danger will result in a deduction of 500 points, these idiots who dare to complain and shirk their responsibilities would not even live to say a second word.

However, although these guys didn't die, they lost the ability to speak. These idiots either had their jaws broken or were cursed to silence them. Some contestants were more ruthless and directly opened a hole under the thyroid cartilage of these idiots, allowing air to exchange gases directly through the hole in the neck without having to go around the vocal cords.

Anyway, the rules only stipulate that they are not allowed to kill or stand by and watch someone in need, but they don't stipulate that they can't teach some idiots a lesson.

What? You ask if this is a major loophole in the rules due to negligence?

The guys in the event organizing department will first laugh a few times, and then tell you with a smile: "Yes! That's right! We were negligent in our work, we shouldn't have made this mistake. If there is a next time, we will definitely pay attention."

It means "must pay attention to" rather than "must correct"

As a result, some contestants who were full of anger took it out on the deep-sea creatures who had just been resurrected.

On Boss Cheng's side, the Deep Sea King, who inexplicably came back to life, didn't even have time to run away before being compressed by the boss into a mass of severely carbonized protein.

This made the ordinary citizens who had just gathered around the unlicensed knight to celebrate look very confused. After all, the other heroes had gone through great efforts and even sacrificed several lives to kill the Deep Sea King...

"It didn't even have a chance to resist."

"This person... is too powerful!"

At this time, a self-righteous nitpicker with splayed eyebrows, triangular eyes, a flat nose, a bulbous nose, and a lower lip covering the upper lip suddenly spoke up: "Is that so? Is it that the monster was not that strong to begin with?"

"But, the hero who was defeated by it..."

"That proves that the heroes it defeated were weaker! This guy, who hasn't even joined the Hero Association, killed the monster with just a pinch. How weak were those defeated heroes? A-level and S-level titles are meaningless after looking at them this way."

“Damn it! Who do you think you are?” The other citizens who were rescued spoke up for the heroes, “They were fighting to save us. If they hadn’t held back the monster, we might have already…”

"Already what?" The argumentative person asked back, "Risking their lives to help? Isn't that what they earn for this salary? Besides, are we really saved by them? Just because they are heroes who are no different from ordinary people? I want to thank them, but I'd better not thank them. Even if they rush over, they will only cause us unnecessary trouble and... Hey, hey, hey, are you ready... this guy is going to commit a crime!"

"stop!"

Just when Boss Cheng was about to take action to defeat that foul-mouthed nitpicker, the Unlicensed Knight, who had fully recovered thanks to Phoenix Man, suddenly rushed in front of the boss and placed himself between the nitpicker who deserved to be taught a lesson and the boss.

"Xiao Za, even though you have just become a great hero, you must understand that some people are not worthy of being protected. Eliminating these bastards is equivalent to strengthening the spiritual civilization of society."

But the unlicensed knight retorted: "No! I don't understand! I only know that we have no right to punish others for their mistakes."

"Okay, you're right."

But the next moment, the boss appeared behind the unlicensed knight.

"So, I am not punishing you now, but simply seeking revenge!" After saying that, Boss Cheng grabbed the argumentative man by the collar and announced, "Now, as the highest commander in wartime, I am informing you that you are being recruited as one of the special forces members for this J City operation. The battle near the coastline is still going on. Go and fight, brave warrior! Prove your worth on the battlefield!"

As soon as the boss finished speaking, a portal opened. The boss immediately threw the nagging guy to the other end of the portal, and the portal disappeared the moment the nagging guy was about to get back.
