Chapter 206: Night City, the Professional Motivational Speaker
According to the original plot, even if Night City didn't intervene, the Baldy would eventually deal with the falling meteorite.
But this Hero Assessment added a 'Bonus Showdown' segment, and now Night City couldn't afford to gamble anymore.
This wasn't just a fictional show; it was the real world, and in this world, accidents were inevitable.
What if Baldy didn't encounter License-Free Knight, or if the knight's bicycle had a flat tire, and Baldy's group didn't make it in time? Who would protect his house and his precious collection?
Unfortunately, Hell Frost's superpowers were too weak; he could only fly with her alone. If he also brought Baldy, this mission would have been a guaranteed success.
As Night City and Hell Frost flew, they also encountered the departing Metal Knight. The sight of him speeding by made Night City glance contemptuously at Hell Frost beside him.
"What are you looking at? Superpowers aren't metal engines, and they're not just for flying. It's normal for my speed to be slower than theirs.
Moreover, the one who just flew by was the sixth-ranked S-Class Hero, Metal Knight, and I'm just a B-Class Hero. How can you expect me to compare to him?"
Seeing Night City's deadpan gaze, Hell Frost immediately spoke with a proud and arrogant tone, turning her head away to hide her embarrassment.
"Just wait until I obtain superpowers, and I'll show you what true superpower usage is!"
In response to Night City's boastful words, Hell Frost rolled her beautiful eyes.
Night City obtaining superpowers? Does he really think superpowers are like cabbages that you can have whenever you want? How many heroes are there from C-Class to S-Class in the Hero Association, and how many of them possess superpowers?
Superpowers are innate talents, not something one can acquire through training. It's like the talent gap between her and her sister, Cyclone, which no amount of training could ever bridge.
This theory might work for ordinary people, but for Night City, it was completely irrelevant.
Superpowers are indeed innate talents, but the fact that he didn't awaken any after his punch doesn't mean he couldn't awaken them in another world.
As the two argued about the rarity of superpowers and whether Night City could ever obtain them, a wave of scorching heat rushed towards them.
Due to their proximity to the meteorite's impact site, they witnessed a massive pillar of fire erupting from the ground, directly colliding with the meteorite.
"Genos has also taken action, but the situation seems dire. We must hurry!"
Despite the distance, Night City and Hell Frost could see that the towering pillar of fire was awe-inspiring and had caused some damage to the meteorite.
However, the falling rocks from above indicated that Genos's Incineration Cannon had little effect on the meteorite as a whole.
The meteorite's descent didn't slow down at all. At this rate, within three minutes, not only Z-City but even Genos, who was currently trying to stop the meteorite, would undoubtedly be crushed to bits.
"Are you sure you can stop the meteor, and you're not lying to me, right?"
Seeing such a spectacular scene up close, Hell Frost suddenly felt a sense of trepidation.
But this was also understandable. After all, a meteor with a diameter of several kilometers falling from high above, with the acceleration of gravity, even a small stone could easily shatter the ground, let alone such a large piece of space debris.
A meteor of this size, burning through the atmosphere, was almost like a natural disaster for humanity.
In Hell Frost's understanding, only a monster like her sister, Cyclone, could handle a disaster of this magnitude. She didn't want to go to her death without any certainty, and this feeling was quite reasonable and normal.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence either. After all, I've never cut something this big before.
But isn't it necessary to challenge things sometimes? If we stay in our comfort zone and think that something is impossible, then we'll never achieve it in our lifetime, right?"
The remaining distance wasn't too far now, and Hell Frost didn't want to take the risk herself. Night City completely understood her reluctance.
So after they found a foothold on a tall building, Night City leaped with incredible agility across the rooftops of various buildings, rushing towards the meteor's location at an astonishing speed.
"If we think something is impossible and don't try, will we never achieve it? But what do you know..."
The words Night City had just spoken might have been casual for him, but for Hell Frost, they carried a profound impact.
Hell Frost hated futile efforts the most. Even if she exerted all her strength to catch up, she would never see the back of the person she was chasing. No matter how hard she tried, what difference would it make?
Some things are predetermined, like talent and genius. The idea that anyone can surpass a genius with enough effort is just a lie to fool the gullible!
Although Hell Frost had always thought this way, she couldn't help but feel contempt for Night City's words.
But as she watched Night City's back gradually disappear into the distance, Hell Frost finally stomped her foot in place, and after a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and followed him.
"This time, I want to see how you surpass the impossible!"
Genos, with the incineration cannon's power maxed out, was now emitting sparks from his arms, accompanied by a crackling sound. His body also exhibited a short-circuit-like phenomenon.
The once-impressive incineration cannon was now visibly shrinking before their eyes, eventually disappearing entirely.
Without the incineration cannon's impact to slow it down, the meteor in the sky lost its last bit of resistance and began to accelerate at an even more astonishing speed, heading straight for Z-City.
Seeing Genos, who was now squatting on the ground due to energy depletion and an overloaded body, Bang was about to assist Genos and help him escape when Genos suddenly looked up at a direction in the sky and said, "One of my teachers has arrived. It seems we won't need to run after all."
Although Genos's energy was depleted, the bio-reactor inside his body was still functioning, constantly alerting him to the approaching high-energy reaction.
When Bang heard Genos's words, he also looked towards the distant building, where a figure shattered the ground beneath his feet, creating a powerful counterforce that propelled him directly towards the meteor.
