Starting with one punch, I'll stop being human.

at this time……

boom--! ! !

Suddenly, a huge hole burst open in the sea not far away, and a massive black shadow burst out with a towering column of water, crashing onto the beach with a piercing shriek and a strong stench!

"Ugh—! What is this thing? It stinks!!"

"Oh no! It's a weirdo!!"

"Waaaaah... Mommy~~!"

"Everyone, run quickly!!"

The once joyful Gold Coast instantly transformed into a living hell, with tourists screaming in terror and scattering in all directions.

However, some ordinary people who were closer and had weaker constitutions did not run more than a few steps before their eyes rolled back and they collapsed to the ground.

The intense stench emanating from that strange man made him dizzy!

Seeing this, the other tourists were terrified, and the scene was almost out of control!

The water jets crashed onto the beach, turning into large swathes of white, foul-smelling foam that flowed back into the sea, while the dark shadows within revealed themselves, standing abruptly on the sand.

This is a humanoid monster forcibly mixed together from countless rotten seaweed, discarded fishing nets, broken plastic, and the rotting remains of unknown marine creatures!

Its massive body, nearly five meters tall, emitted a suffocating stench, and its deformed limbs were covered with bulging, knotted muscles.

Beneath the foul-smelling seaweed that sways without wind, lies an ugly human face that could stop a child from crying; two murky eyes, formed from the bottom of a shattered beer bottle, gleam with a tyrannical and ferocious light.

"I... was unable to find work because of my ugly appearance, so I could only spend day after day scavenging the endless garbage you create at sea, but I could never finish it all... and finally, in despair and resentment, I mutated into the ultimate monster—"

"Marine debris!"

"You bastards who discriminate against my appearance while enjoying yourselves and constantly increasing my workload... you all deserve to die!!"

The ocean garbage monster let out a hoarse and furious roar, and its giant, slimy hand suddenly pulled out discarded appliances, smelly fishing nets, and broken plastic pipes from its body, which was made of seaweed, rotting flesh and silt, and swept them violently towards the fleeing crowd!

"be careful!"

"Help!!"

"Help me, please!"

Under the parasol, Alice and Tifa were terrified, screaming and instinctively clinging tightly to Han Sen's arm beside them, their delicate bodies trembling against him.

"Claude, should we run away?"

"I...I...I'm so scared!"

Han Sen glanced at the strange man who had made a powerful entrance not far away and casually said, "It's alright, I'll take care of it."

His tone was as calm as if he were talking about the weather. Strangely, after hearing his steady voice, the panic and fear in the two women's hearts miraculously subsided.

It was as if as long as this man was there, even if the sky were to fall, it could be held up.

It is the instinct of the weak to attach themselves to the strong, but the existence of the truly strong can give the weak immense courage.

Han Sen didn't deliberately use any abilities; a simple word of comfort and a calm look were enough to dispel the two women's intense fear of the monster and death.

Not far away, a blue-haired young man wearing sunglasses, a cross pendant around his neck, and casual beachwear, who had been reclining under a parasol, slowly stood up.

Even from a distance, one could tell that he possessed a handsome face that could make countless women scream with madness, and an extraordinary temperament that was almost on par with Han Sen on the other side.

"Tsk... This is so disappointing. I never thought that taking a break from my busy schedule for a vacation would result in encountering such unclean garbage."

The young man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of sharp, cold eyes devoid of any emotion, his expression full of arrogance and indifference.

His cold gaze swept over Han Sen and his two companions, who were still not far away, and the strange man who was chasing after the rampaging crowd. He casually tucked his expensive sunglasses into the pocket of his beach shirt and elegantly twisted his neck.

"Are there still onlookers reluctant to leave? It doesn't matter, just resolve this as soon as possible."

"That kind of filthy thing called a weirdo..."

"They all must die!!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into an extremely fast afterimage, rushing towards the ocean trash monster like a sharp arrow!

"Look...that's it!!"

"Wow! The super idol 'Sweet Mask'? What's he doing here?!"

"Masked Lord seems to have risen to the top of the A-class hero rankings! He's too strong!"

"Masked Lord, I love you!! Please be sure to get rid of that disgusting thing!"

"Great! It's Sweet Mask! We're saved!"

Chapter 69 Spicy Balls!!

In the distance, some sharp-eyed tourists recognized "Sweet Mask" and their desperate cries instantly turned into screams of surprise, as if they had seen a savior descend.

Sweet Mask's speed was so fast that he rushed in front of the monster in the blink of an eye!

A fleeting, undisguised utter disgust crossed that flawless, handsome face, as if even glancing at this filthy monster would be a desecration.

His right fist, with its distinct knuckles, was clenched tightly, muscles bulging, pulled back fully, and even a slight popping sound could be heard in the air, as if he intended to use his proud thunderous strike to completely purify this garbage that polluted his vision.

However, just as he was about to throw his punch, something unexpected happened!

The moment Sweet Mask's icy blue, sharp eyes met those of the Ocean Trash Monster, his expression froze, and his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints!

At that moment, he felt his stomach churning violently, a strong feeling of nausea rushing to his throat, and the surging power within him seemed to be frozen instantly and was rapidly dissipating!

—No, no good!

Sweet Mask's alarm bells rang loudly, and an indescribable chill and a sense of rejection from the source of power swept over his entire body like a tidal wave!

"This guy...this guy is actually...an extremely rare—'ugly monster'!!"

The term "ugly monster" refers to a special kind of freak who occasionally appears and is influenced by negative emotions such as the distorted dark side of society and the collective unconscious hatred of humanity due to their extremely ugly appearance.

The combat power of such freaks is often directly linked to the degree of ugliness in their hearts and the resentment they carry. For example, the ocean garbage freak in front of us, who extremely hates hedonism and littering, has already reached the level of a demon.

For most S-class heroes, such strength might be insignificant, but these kinds of monsters are Sweet Mask's only and most lethal nemesis, even though he also possesses S-class combat power!

Because of certain unrevealed secrets, Sweet Mask has an almost obsessive pursuit of beautiful things, but a deep-seated aversion and rejection of ugliness.

This aversion is not simply a psychological effect, but will directly affect his physiology and combat ability!

Once he encounters an extremely ugly monster, his strength, speed, and superhuman regenerative abilities will be directly sealed, and his body will even become stiff and sluggish due to instinctive stress response, making him unable to move!

"Damn it! Why... of all things!"

Sweet Mask's clenched teeth trembled with a "clucking" sound, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

He could clearly feel the power within his body rapidly dissipating, and the intense nausea that came from his instincts made him want to vomit on the spot, making it difficult for him to even stand.

To make matters worse, he noticed that there were still a few tourists nearby—Han Sen and his group—who hadn't gone far.

"No... I can't transform here... Absolutely not!"

Sweet Mask was extremely anxious, fearing that his hidden side would be exposed to the public...

The consequences could be disastrous!

"You dare to have wild thoughts while fighting me? You think you're the coolest hero? Die, die, die!!"

In the instant he was distracted, the giant arm of the Ocean Garbage Monster, covered in viscous liquid, came crashing down on him with a suffocating gust of wind!

"Bam—!!"

Sweet Mask rolled over in a disheveled manner, his body instantly covered in dirty grit and foul-smelling slime, narrowly avoiding the powerful blow!

However, his usual extraordinary speed and terrifying strength were greatly diminished at this moment, and his movements appeared somewhat sluggish and clumsy, completely lacking his usual composure and elegance.

"Hehehehe... What are you hiding from? The famous idol?"

The ocean debris monster let out a piercing and sharp laugh, and its attacks became increasingly fierce and violent!

Although it didn't know why the handsome human in front of it, which made it jealous, had suddenly become so fragile, that didn't stop it from enjoying the perverse pleasure of torturing and killing the strong.

In an instant, fists and feet clashed, and putrid liquid mixed with sand and gravel flew everywhere!

The A-class hero who used to shine on stage and be calm and elegant in battle can now only struggle against the storm of attacks from the ocean debris monster, rolling and dodging in a sorry state!

His body was covered in all sorts of filthy garbage and grime; where was his usual flawless and handsome idol appearance?!

WARNING

"Emergency evacuation warning! A bizarre, 'marine debris' has been suspected to have appeared in the Gold Coast Scenic Area of ​​J City!! Residents and tourists in the vicinity are urged to evacuate immediately and not to approach! Do not approach!!"

"Repeated! Emergency evacuation warning..."

WARNING

The piercing alarm echoed across the coastline. On the beach, "Sweet Mask" was punched in the stomach by the monster "Ocean Trash," his eyes bulging out instantly, and his body was thrown far backward!

"Pfft-!!"

Upon landing, Sweet Mask tumbled several times in a disheveled state, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His handsome face was contorted with pain, his heart filled with humiliation and resentment.

"Damn it...! My body... I can't muster any strength at all... This disgusting thing..."

However, the monster's attacks came one after another, giving him no chance to catch his breath!

"Hehehehe... You're not convinced, are you? Then let's deliver the final blow to your handsome face!!"

"I'll smash you flat!!"

Just as the Ocean Trash Monster leaped high into the air with a sinister grin, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Sweet Mask's head, a strange and oppressive sound suddenly rang out!

Thump thump thump! ——! !

Thump thump thump thump! ——!!

The rhythmic roar, like the beating of war drums, quickly rose from low to high, from far to near, and resounded through the sky!

Even the calm sea seemed to be affected by this invisible pressure, with waves surging and churning as if welcoming the arrival of some terrifying being!

"……This is!!!"

Both of them were stunned in the midst of the fierce battle. The ocean garbage monster in the air suddenly turned towards the direction from which the roar came, and the ugly face made of rotten matter changed drastically!

It immediately abandoned the Sweet Mask that was already within reach, and with a forceful twist in mid-air, it fled to the other side of the beach.

The moment it landed, the ocean debris monster was on high alert.

The discarded fishing nets, plastic bottles, and the corpses of mutated, unknown marine creatures wrapped around its body danced wildly in its tense state. It assumed its strongest defensive stance towards the direction from which the roar came, its eyes extremely vigilant!

In the distance, a burly blond man appeared out of nowhere, and a terrifying aura that made even the strangest man tremble spread out with the earth-shattering drumbeats.

The eyes of the three menacing scars were staring at him with the cold and indifferent gaze of a powerful figure who said, "You're already dead!"

Ocean Trash Monster: Maru-spicy!!

Σ(°△°|||)︴

King: Spicy!

┌(.Д.)┐

Chapter 70 Take action

Two voices, filled with terror and despair, rang out simultaneously in each other's minds.

However, neither of them could discern the other's true thoughts as their eyes met.

Sweet Mask, who was beaten senseless, was stunned when he heard the all-too-familiar "Emperor Engine" sound. Then, a very complicated look flashed in his eyes.

—Damn it! That man actually saw me in this pathetic state... But since he's here, then... there's hope!

He was breathing heavily, his heart filled with mixed feelings—shame and indignation at being seen, but also a strange sense of relief.

The Ocean Garbage Monster is not a new creation; it has been lurking in the waters near M City for some time, silently accumulating power and resentment.

It had naturally heard of some of the S-class heroes of the Hero Association, especially "the strongest man on earth" like King, who had lived here for many years.

At this moment, feeling the terrifying killing intent emanating from King that was almost solidified, and the sound of the "Emperor Engine" that seemed to tear the soul apart like a death knell from hell, the Ocean Garbage Monster swallowed hard, feeling every cell in its body screaming and trembling in fear!

This man's aura... is terrifyingly strong!

On the other side, King wasn't doing much better.

He had just finished a 10-kilometer beach run and was dragging his leaden legs back home, exhausted like a dehydrated dead dog.
