I admired heroes but became a villain

No hero reached out to catch the valuable pieces of paper. Instead, they looked at the man who had destroyed the Hero Association in confusion.

Obviously, the conditions he offered were too rich and too free for a hero, far beyond what those old foxes in the association could match.

He went to great lengths to destroy the association and form an alliance, but he himself had no intention of benefiting from it...what good would this do him?

"The benefits have been obtained, and the distortion is probably at its maximum now. I don't need anything else."

Guo Linglong tilted her head and said, "If there are other benefits for me - the former C-class heroes no longer have to squeeze into supermarkets to grab discounted goods because of hero activities, the former A-class and B-class heroes no longer have to be swayed by fame and fortune for boring rankings, and the images of the former S-class heroes will no longer be printed on low-quality toys and used by capital to make profits... These are the biggest benefits for me."

"what the hell……"

Tornado's eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but change her opinion of this man drastically: "You are a pretty good person."

"Of course. Well, the meeting should be over now. Let me say one last thing..."

Guo Linglong, who was just passionate, changed the subject and chuckled, "Please treat what I just said as a fart. Words are my magic. Just believe what I say——"

A certain Deep Sea King who said pitifully before his death, "You promised to spare my life," can testify that the end will be miserable...

Chapter 100: The gradually fading trust

"You did a great job, young man. I'll give you a five-star rating later."

The former C-class hero, the unlicensed knight put down the gas tank in his hand breathlessly, and looked at the old man in front of him who was shaking his cell phone and smiling amiably. He couldn't help but shook his head shyly, saying that it was unnecessary, then rode his bicycle and left in the setting sun.

Although the Hero Association has been disbanded, he did not stop his heroic activities. Instead, he registered for the Good Friends League online and became a hero belonging to another organization...

Although he had changed organizations, he did not feel any different from before. He still carried out heroic activities as usual, and ended the activities exhausted as usual.

If there is anything absolutely different...

Looking at the ramen restaurant in front of him with warm lights and smelling the aroma of noodles in the air, the unlicensed rider involuntarily put down his bicycle, lifted up the greasy cloth and walked in.

In the past, he was so poor that he had to go to the supermarket to buy discounted goods because of his heroic activities, but now he can enjoy ramen that only ordinary wage earners can afford thanks to his full attendance subsidized by the alliance.

But obviously there were already customers here before he arrived. A middle-aged man was slurping noodles. This was a common everyday scene... except for the iconic suit embroidered with a python.

"The last A-class hero, Mr. Snake Fist?!"

The unlicensed knight's exclamation made the middle-aged man turn his head in displeasure.

"The last one is redundant... um... are you a former C-level unlicensed?"

Snake, the former first place in Class A, looked at the unlicensed knight in surprise, and then said thoughtfully: "You have joined the alliance too?"

"Ah, after all, I don't intend to stop my interest just because the Hero Association is disbanding. And 'also' means... Mr. Snake is joining the league too?"

"Yes."

Snake put down his chopsticks and opened his hands to Wuzheng with some self-mockery: "These fists are full of calluses. They can no longer do anything other than fighting. And if I want to open a dojo and recruit disciples, my current strength is far from enough. I can only hold my nose and choose the alliance... That's what I thought at first."

"originally?"

Wu Zheng found a stool and sat down, looking at the former last-ranked hero in A-class with confusion.

"That's right. Actually, when I first debuted, I wasn't someone who cared about fame or fortune."

Snake picked up a cigarette and said with a dazed look in his eyes.

"It was very satisfying for me to be able to use my kung fu to protect defenseless citizens, but the good times didn't last long, and the association's ranking system appeared."

"The ranking directly determines the treatment of heroes. Low-level heroes can't guarantee food and clothing, while high-level heroes are compared all the time. For example, I am often compared with other heroes by citizens. The spirit of a warrior who refuses to admit defeat has gradually changed in these discussions. Although my nature has not changed, my behavior is becoming more and more violent, and my eyes are becoming more and more utilitarian. I am being controlled by the ranking and gradually becoming... not like my original self."

"It seems... A-rank also has its own troubles."

The Unlicensed Knight shook his head in confusion. Even if he was at the bottom of Class A, Snake was still an A-class hero. That was a world he could not reach.

“But now, this distress has disappeared.”

Snake smiled happily and said, "There is no ranking system in the association now. Instead, there are only two types... ordinary members and super good friends who can kill ghost-level disasters single-handedly. After leaving the ranking system, I can breathe a sigh of relief and reflect on how many stupid things I have done before."

"Is this so..."

Wu Zheng smiled with relief and was about to change the subject, but the suitcase he caught a glimpse of out of the corner of his eye made him stunned.

"Mr. Snake, are you planning to travel far?"

"Almost. I'm planning to leave City A."

After hesitating for a while, Snake lowered his voice and said, "And I also advise you to leave City A as soon as possible. This city is very unsafe now."

"Very unsafe...what do you mean?"

Looking at the puzzled Wuzheng, Snake asked in surprise: "You didn't log in to the official website of the alliance? The hottest issue there right now is the bomber in City A."

"I've heard a little bit about this, but isn't this kind of criminal case something the police should handle?"

Wuzheng, who doesn't use the Internet much, asked in confusion.

"The other party is not something that ordinary police can deal with. The alliance is also discussing whether to use the disaster level ghost to judge this criminal... But my internal information shows that the disaster level of this bomb criminal may be 'dragon', which is a natural disaster that is enough to threaten the entire city. So I plan to leave here, and you'd better hurry up."

Wu Zheng looked at Snake, who was warning him seriously, with confusion. Isn't he just a person who committed a crime with a bomb? Is it that serious? Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?

"The bomber has committed crimes 26 times. Although there are no deaths or serious injuries yet, the mentally and physically traumatized people have filled several hospitals. The alliance knows nothing about this criminal... The heroes are all wondering if he is an intelligent weirdo."

At this point, Snake paused, then scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Honestly, if it was just this, I wouldn't have left without a backbone, but the alliance, which is widely praised throughout the country, has a very bad reputation in City A. Complaints from dissatisfied citizens can be seen everywhere. The alliance's incompetence in dealing with the bombing incident has caused great dissatisfaction among citizens. Now more and more citizens are moving out of City A. If this continues, City A will probably become a ghost town, right?"

The unlicensed knight finally realized how serious the situation was and asked, "Can you tell me in detail about the characteristics of the bomber? I might have seen him before."

"I don't know. If they knew, the Alliance would have caught the criminal long ago. All you need to know is... that the criminal is someone that even the monster-like Super Best Friends can't do anything to. Fortunately, the enemy's bomb attack has a characteristic, that is, before the explosion, the temperature around it will rise extremely high, and then one minute later, there will be a loud 'boom', blowing the building up into the sky. Yes, that's probably the temperature right now... Eh?"

Feeling the burning sensation on their skin, the Unlicensed Knight and Snake stood up subconsciously. At this time, the owner of the ramen restaurant also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly left the ramen restaurant with their employees under the leadership of the Unlicensed Knight.

Before they could run a few steps, there was a loud bang behind them, and the gust of wind blew them directly onto the street. What was even more exaggerated was that not only all of their ramen restaurants, but five shops on the entire street exploded at the same time... Fortunately, the bomb delay was long enough, and no one was injured except for some unlucky people who were greedy and couldn't bear to part with their valuables.

Standing in front of the ramen restaurant that was burning with flames, Snake lit a cigarette helplessly.

Here it comes. The official website of the alliance is going to be slandered by the citizens of City A again. If this continues, the credibility of the alliance at the headquarters in City A... will soon go bankrupt.

Chapter 101: Unbeatable Magic

In other regions, the Friends League, which replaced the Hero Association, received far better reviews than the Hero Association.

The establishment of the grassroots alarm system meets the urgent needs of the people and has been loved by the public.

The abolition of the ranking system calmed down some heroes who had been blinded by the ranking system and fame and fortune.

The full attendance system allows some heroes who have to grab discounted goods every week to have enough cash in their pockets.

And the once powerful heroes no longer have to be bossed around by the association... But when all the cities were giving positive reviews, the increasing number of negative reviews in City A seemed particularly glaring.

The 376th bombing. In just one week, the bomber has committed 376 bombings in a row. His methods, speed and frequency are becoming more and more brutal, but the police and the heroes of the alliance are helpless against him. Although there were no deaths and very few injuries in these bombings, the citizens who don't want to live in fear in the war zone can only complain about the association and leave City A. At this moment, City A... has gradually become a ghost town.

"After all, the other party is definitely not an ordinary human being!"

In the office building of the Good Friends Alliance, Child Emperor, the former S-class hero and current think tank of the Alliance, said solemnly to the former S-class heroes around him and Guo Linglong: "It is impossible for humans to do this. Either the other party is a weirdo, or a criminal who controls some unimaginable power."

"If it's not an ordinary human..."

Guo Linglong crossed her hands and folded them over her chin, and said thoughtfully, "So we can start with the identity?"

"As expected of the Black Knight."

Child Emperor looked at Guo Linglong with admiration, then waved his hand. Green data first fell in the air like a waterfall, and then densely packed photos began to appear.

"I investigated the surveillance cameras at the six bombing sites, sorted out the population recorded a few days before the explosions, and used big data to screen their identities, and among them..."

Child Emperor waved his hand, and the dense photos disappeared one after another, leaving only one. In the photo, a white person, a black person, and an Asian woman appeared in everyone's sight.

Child Emperor pointed at the enlarged photo and said seriously, "These three are the most suspicious. I can't find out their names, where they are from, where they live, their passports and household registrations! There is reason to suspect that these three people are related to the explosion."

Guo Linglong stared blankly at the three people in the photo, and at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Eva who called.

"Brother, come here for a moment."

Because she was in charge of the dirty work, it was inconvenient for her to appear in front of everyone. Eva, who could only watch Child Emperor's photo remotely with a device, said in a serious voice: "These three are magical girls."

"excuse me."

Looking at everyone who was having a happy discussion, Guo Linglong stood up and said that she had something to do and needed to leave for a while, then quickly moved to the secret office where Eva was. This top witch, who could withstand a single punch from Saitama and remain alive, was looking at the Asian woman in the photo with a subtle expression.

Guo Linglong was very familiar with that expression. One day, he had a stomachache and was in a hurry to release the stomach's internal energy, but he couldn't go home in a short time. There was only a dirty public toilet nearby. He also showed a similar expression.

The girl in the photo is obviously...quite cute?

"Mary Zavna."

Eva pointed at the Asian girl in the photo, who was only about 1.2 meters tall, and said in a serious tone, "This is a magical girl from France. I once fought with her. I didn't expect that they would be the ones hunting us this time..."

"A magical girl from France?"

Guo Linglong asked doubtfully, "It sounds like he would surrender easily... Is he an enemy that even you, who has lived for a thousand years, finds difficult to deal with?"

"Although we can ignore the other two trash fish, this Mary's magic is very difficult to deal with."

Eva said in confusion: "The inherent magic she possesses, 'Unbeatable Hero', just as the name suggests, is a magic that once used on something, Mary will never fail in that matter!"

"Eh?"

Guo Linglong couldn't help rubbing her temples and said in disbelief, "Isn't this invincible? Can't we just use it on Dark Eden?"

"That's not the case. After all, being undefeated does not mean victory..."

Eva pointed at herself and said, "The really tricky thing is that the moment her magic takes effect, all the 'failures' that Mary faces will be judged as 'temporarily unsuccessful'. I have pushed her into desperate situations countless times and knocked her down countless times, but I just couldn't take her down."

"Uh... this doesn't sound like a big deal. How can it make you look like you have to go to the public toilet on the street?"

Guo Linglong's puzzled expression made Eva roll her eyes. "If you were just one step away from winning, and suddenly a brave hero came out from nowhere to save the damsel in distress, and suddenly a huge meteorite fell from the sky and hit you, and suddenly an earthquake occurred and buried you underground, and suddenly a plane, car, or ship crashed and attacked you, and suddenly a military base, for unknown reasons and motives, launched a hundred Hsiung Feng III missiles at you, and then Mary praised you for 'good work' while running away at full speed, you would have the same expression as me."

"Tear... Such an extreme magic..."

Guo Linglong took a deep breath and said, "Is there any way to solve this problem? For example... pouring exorcist holy water on her or something like that?"

"Exorcism holy water won't work on magical girls. After all, their bodies haven't been transformed. It will only work if their transformation props are soaked in water. And - being splashed with holy water will lead to failure and directly induce magic, so your holy water won't touch a single hair on her no matter what."

Hearing this, Guo Linglong couldn't help but reveal an expression like Eva, who clearly didn't want to, but had to hold it in to go to the public toilet.

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang again. When he opened it, he heard Child Emperor's anxious voice.

"Black Knight, come here quickly, we have made a great discovery!"

"Big discovery?"

Hearing this, Guo Linglong asked doubtfully, "How big is it? I'm a bit stuck right now."

"Such a huge discovery that could save City A!"

Child Emperor said loudly: "The strongest man on earth, King, said that he had seen those three women in a certain apartment. Come here quickly. We need to mobilize all our forces to capture the criminal who turned City A into a ghost town."

"I know, I'll go over now!"

Guo Linglong put down the phone hesitantly, looked at Eva thoughtfully and said, "Can her magic only be used on 'one' thing?"

"Well, she can't use magic on multiple things at once."

Hearing this, Guo Linglong lowered her head thoughtfully...

Chapter 102: Guo’s...lover?

A morning like any other.

After Mary combed her curly hair, she woke up her two dwarfs and told them to go downstairs to make breakfast. She yawned and went to the bathroom, splashing clear tap water on her face.

A week has passed since they came to this world. During this week, they have been looking for the whereabouts of the protagonist of this world. Hard work pays off. I heard that someone found Saitama's trace in J City. As long as they work harder, maybe...

boom!

While she was thinking, a loud bang came from the kitchen. The sound was so loud that it shattered the entire mirror in front of Mary.

Have you been discovered?!

Mary jumped back with a start, and the ring-shaped magic item on her left hand quickly overflowed with a large amount of magic power, constructing her combat uniform.

Being discovered is not a strange thing. It would be more strange not to be discovered. The other party is a witch who has distorted the whole world. She has many spies and the three of them are so conspicuous... What is really strange is... there are too many people coming!

"Superalloy--slam!"

A huge impact force came from behind. Mary punched the ground and released her magic power, creating a big hole in the floor. At the same time, her light body used the potential energy to fly into the air at high speed to avoid the attack of the superalloy black light, but... it was not over yet!
