Chapter 546: The Power of Luck
Chapter 546: The Power of Luck
"The battle has begun..."
"But he's being suppressed..."
Deep within the lair of the Monster Association, Sykes, having escaped with the Hero Association's Saman in tow, quickly made her way through a lateral passage, sensing the battle between Saitama and the God Tree Pain behind them.
Although psychokinesis did not grant her the ability to directly perceive the fight, she could still sense that Pain was being overwhelmed!
He couldn't win against the Bald Emperor!
"But after absorbing so many Monster Cells, he should be able to evolve to an even higher level. That must be his goal; only then can he defeat that man."
Sykes took a breath, her eyes still revealing a hint of worry as she glanced upward once more.
Below was the Bald Emperor, and above was a Thunder God!
While it was unclear which of the two was stronger, there was no doubt that they both possessed god-like power!
Even with so many Dragon-level monsters gathered, the outcome of this battle still seemed precarious to Sykes. Although the Dragon-level monsters currently held the upper hand, suppressing the S-class heroes, if they couldn't defeat the Bald Emperor, the Thunder God, and KING, they would still lose to the heroes!
As Sykes pondered this, her footsteps abruptly halted.
Before her, in the pitch-black passage, a figure appeared. This figure wasn't particularly tall, but their presence was immediately imposing, accompanied by a rapid, pounding sound that grew louder by the second.
"!"
Sykes' gaze hardened.
KING!
The Strongest Man on Earth!
"As expected of the man known as the Strongest on Earth. It seems he's been making a beeline for the hostages since the beginning, perfectly avoiding all ambushes and even managing to avoid any conflict along the way. I didn't receive any information about this at all..."
"It seems I've grown negligent."
Sykes took a breath.
She had been too focused on Saitama and the Thunder God, neglecting this hero, KING!
However, what she didn't know was that KING, standing before her, was actually drenched in a cold sweat, forcing himself to remain calm while his heart pounded anxiously.
If there were a system panel to view KING's attributes at this moment, the displayed data would likely look something like this:
Strength: 4
Agility: 5
Stamina: 4
Intelligence: 5
...
Luck: ??? (Cannot be measured)
Combat Power: ??? (Cannot be evaluated)
[Note: A score of 5 in basic attributes represents the average level of a normal human]
Indeed.
KING's attributes were all average, perhaps even slightly below average, which made him extremely cautious and fearful of any monster, as he was well aware of his lack of combat prowess. Yet, his true combat power was immeasurable.
This was because his luck stat was infinite, and when luck reached a certain level, it became a force in and of itself!
The power to alter the future!
The future was uncertain, and with infinite luck, one could guide that uncertainty in their favor—this was the true nature of 'luck'!
Hearing the rapid, pounding sound drawing closer, Sykes dared not move, her entire focus fixed on KING. With a grave expression, she said, "Is that the sound of the King Engine I've heard so much about? But I have hostages here, KING!"
Saman, held captive by Sykes' psychokinesis, had regained consciousness and, upon seeing KING, felt as though he were a ray of hope. Tears and snot flowed freely as he cried out, "Quick! Save me! Mr. KING!"
KING's expression turned slightly somber, and without looking at the weeping Saman, he replied, "Someone will come to rescue you..."
Encountering a woman holding hostages in such a place meant she was undoubtedly an incredibly powerful monster. Charging in would likely result in failure, and he might even lose his own life. For now, the best course of action was to buy some time!
Hearing KING's response, Saman's wails momentarily paused, tears and snot still streaking his face as he asked, "Mr... Mr. KING?
Sykes' expression changed as she witnessed this scene, and she cursed inwardly, "Damn... I was too focused on KING!"
So that was what KING meant when he said someone would come to rescue the hostages. He deliberately drew her attention while someone else rescued the hostages. Truly worthy of his reputation!
Now that the hostages were taken, Sykes dared not act rashly. Without them, she was at a severe disadvantage, facing both the Captivating Prisoner and KING, and she had no idea what KING was capable of.
"Mr. KING, please protect the hostage and evacuate."
After rescuing Saman, the Captivating Prisoner immediately pushed him toward KING. Keeping a close eye on Sykes, he said in a low voice, "The S-Class heroes above have started fighting, and the situation is chaotic. With my abilities, I can't guarantee the hostage's safety. We need your help to protect him until Miss Tornado arrives!"
"...Alright."
KING responded expressionlessly and turned to walk further down the corridor.
Saman scrambled to his feet and followed suit.
Sykes' face darkened slightly. Regardless, the hostages were still useful, and she couldn't afford to lose them now. Though the odds were heavily against her, and she had no idea about KING's abilities, she had to make a move here!
But just as Sykes' hair began to flutter and a fluorescent light covered her body, signaling her intent to attack, a loud explosion suddenly rang out in the distance.
BOOM!!!
The explosion rumbled closer, tearing through the air and carving a giant, pitch-black tunnel that stretched for who knows how far. At the source of the explosion stood Saitama and God Tree Pain. Saitama was in the middle of throwing a punch, but God Tree Pain deflected it with his flowing water rock-crushing fist, resulting in this massive destruction!
"It's the Bald Emperor and the monster, One-Eyed Emperor..."
The Captivating Prisoner's back was almost touching the edge of the explosion as he looked toward Saitama. He couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
Saitama's punch had perfectly separated him and Sykes from KING! Whether intentional or a result of his incredible luck, the situation was now almost perfect!
Around this time, high above...
Tornado, floating several dozen meters in the sky, gently raised her hand and spread her fingers, gazing down at the events unfolding below. A slight smile curved her lips.
"Not bad."
"Now it's my turn."
HUM!
As Tornado waved her hand, a vast and mighty psychokinetic force descended, crashing into the ground a thousand meters below and enveloping the entire Monster Association!

I've been away for a while, and this plot is giving me some trouble, hence the slow updates. Sorry about that!
As an apology, I'll post a photo of me in a dress in a couple of days~ I thought that at 188 cm tall, I'd need to order a size XXL, but the customer service representative said it depends on weight, not height, so I ended up ordering a size L. Not sure how it'll turn out, but I should see it in a couple of days!
