Chapter 498: Excuse Me, Young Man, May I Get Through?
In City A, within the headquarters of the Hero Association, a supervisor stood at the back of the central control room and asked one of the staff members seated before a screen, rapidly operating controls, "Has the alarm been sent out?"
"Yes, it has been dispatched," the staff member promptly replied.
Just then, another supervisor walked over and said in a low voice, "Wait, we need to change the content."
"Huh?" Both the staff member and the previous supervisor turned to look at him, a hint of surprise on their faces.
The new supervisor solemnly announced, "Stingray has been defeated!"
This statement startled everyone in the control room.
Stingray—the eleventh-ranked A-Class hero. While not on par with the S-Class heroes, he was still among the top thirty, making him an exceptional hero.
The defeat of an A-Class hero was a grave matter. It might now require the combined efforts of multiple A-Class heroes or even the intervention of an S-Class hero to resolve the situation.
"Upgrade the disaster level to Demon-level and send out the alert again!" After a brief moment of shock, the association supervisor quickly regained his composure and issued new orders. "Also, notify the heroes near City J as soon as possible. Which A-Class or higher heroes can we locate near City J right now?"
"Currently, we have Lightning Max and it looks like Sexy Prisoner is also there... Oh, and Demon Cyborg is on his way to the scene as well." The staff member tapped on the screen a few times and quickly pulled up the locations of the A-Class and above heroes equipped with the Hero Association's special locator phones.
Hearing this report, the association supervisor breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Are there any S-Class heroes available? Quickly inform them of the latest intelligence—Stingray has been defeated!"
This disaster was now defined as Demon-level. With two S-Class heroes on the scene, they should be able to handle the situation without the need to urgently summon other S-Class heroes who weren't in the vicinity.
...
Outside the shelter in City J, the walls surrounding the area were heavily damaged, and many civilians huddled together inside the shattered shelter, their eyes filled with fear as they gazed at the streets outside.
Due to Feng Ye's influence, Saitama had been invited to settle in the Hero Association headquarters in City A after becoming an S-Class hero. As a result, he was not in City J when the Deep Sea Tribe invaded, allowing them to advance all the way to the human shelter before finally being stopped.
Two A-Class heroes, Lightning Max and Stingray, had already been defeated.
And now, the numerous members of the Deep Sea Tribe lay dead, with only the Deep Sea King remaining. He was currently locked in a fierce battle with the S-Class hero, Sexy Prisoner.
"I won't let you hurt any more of these lovely boys!!" Sexy Prisoner, his body covered in wounds, roared as he relentlessly threw punch after punch, clashing with the Deep Sea King.
The collision of their fists created a constant rumbling, like the beating of a drum, resonating within the hearts of those in the shelter, causing their hearts to pound in unison.
"An S-Class hero..."
"Sexy Prisoner has some strength, but it looks like he still can't beat a Demon-level monster..."
Not far from the battlefield, Sonic the Hedgehog, dressed in his prison uniform, watched the intense fight between Sexy Prisoner and the Deep Sea King. A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes as he assessed the strength of both combatants.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and the rain fell steadily, bathing the Deep Sea King, who was displaying power close to his peak performance.
If not for Sexy Prisoner's evolution and improvement in strength after his previous battle with the Ten-Tails and his subsequent intense training, he wouldn't have stood a chance against the Deep Sea King.
Finally, another punch landed.
Sexy Prisoner's fist struck the Deep Sea King's chest, and the Deep Sea King's punch landed on Sexy Prisoner's stomach. After a brief stalemate, Sexy Prisoner finally spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing dozens of meters away and leaving a furrowed trail in the cement as if it had been plowed.
The Deep Sea King staggered back a couple of steps, managing to stay upright. A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away with the back of his hand.
"It's rare to find a human as resilient as you..."
Cough!
Sexy Prisoner, lying on the ground, struggled to stand, but the intense pain in his chest and abdomen made it impossible for him to get up. He coughed out another mouthful of blood.
The civilians inside the shattered shelter watched this unfold, their last shred of hope shattering as fear and despair filled their eyes.
"Se...Sexy Prisoner has been defeated too..."
"How can that monster be so strong..."
"It's over... Is there anyone left to save us? Are there any heroes out there?!"
The panicked voices of the civilians in the shelter rang in Sexy Prisoner's ears, making him grit his teeth. He forced his body to turn over but still couldn't stand.
It was no use.
His body had reached its limit, and he couldn't continue fighting.
Sexy Prisoner struggled to keep himself from collapsing and turned his head to look at the Deep Sea King. Suddenly, he noticed a figure standing in front of the Deep Sea King—Sonic the Hedgehog!
"Sonic..."
Sexy Prisoner was taken aback. Sonic was one of the guys he had his eye on in prison, but he never got the chance to make a move.
In his gaze, Sonic stood there, staring at the Deep Sea King. "Who the hell are you?"
The Deep Sea King turned to look at Sonic, baring his teeth in a sinister grin. "I am the Deep Sea King! The ruler of the Deep Sea Tribe, soon to be the master of this world!"
"Heh..."
Hearing the Deep Sea King's words, a mocking expression flashed across Sonic's face. "Do you really think you can conquer the world by yourself?"
The Deep Sea King looked at Sonic with arrogance. "Is that so? Then you should join the dead as well."
Sonic scoffed. "Those are my exact words for you. Although I'm not a hero, your insolence warrants your demise."
Based on the battle between Sexy Prisoner and the Deep Sea King, Sonic had a rough idea of the Deep Sea King's strength.
Even without his weapons, Sonic knew he wouldn't be able to take down the Deep Sea King easily. However, the Deep Sea King's speed wouldn't be a problem for him, and he wanted to personally gauge the Deep Sea King's capabilities.
"Who's that man..."
"Is he also a prisoner? He doesn't seem like a hero..."
The civilians in the shelter stared at Sonic, their fear unabated as they didn't recognize him as one of the heroes.
Just as Sonic prepared to step forward and face the Deep Sea King, the civilians watching from a distance were stunned by what they saw.
Pat!
A hand lightly reached out from behind Sonic, tapping him gently on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, young man, may I get through?"
"!!!"
That light pat startled Sonic to his core. His sweat glands activated, and a chill ran from the top of his head to his toes, causing his entire body to stiffen.
He was a highly alert ninja, yet someone had appeared behind him, tapped him on the shoulder, and he hadn't noticed a thing!
This meant that if the person had intended to attack, Sonic would most likely be lying on the ground right now!
Who?!
Who was it?!
Sonic's stiffened gaze shifted to the side, and he saw a silver-haired youth in a white casual shirt, gently retracting his hand with a faint smile as he walked past Sonic towards the Deep Sea King.
