Chapter 954: Rising to the Top of the S-Class Heroes!
Chapter 954: Rising to the Top of the S-Class Heroes!
The Divine Being departed, and the planet's consciousness once again fell silent. Returning to Z City with the bald man, Night City's expression was devoid of joy, despite their victory.
After eavesdropping on the Divine Being's conversation with the planet's consciousness, Night City finally understood the whole situation.
The prophecy of Sage Xi Xi Ba Wa, and the vision of the future filled with despair and destruction that Sir Sachs witnessed through the Third Eye, was indeed the seventh great catastrophe orchestrated by the Divine Being to annihilate humanity.
There was no mistake; compared to the great flood of the sixth catastrophe, this disaster tailored by the Divine Being for humanity was the "Monster Calamity."
From that moment on, monsters began to appear frequently in the world, and this was no coincidence but the doing of the Divine Being.
Facing the unchanging foolishness of humanity, always repeating the same mistakes, the Divine Being decided on the ultimate punishment—letting them reap what they had sown.
All the evil deeds, negative emotions, and environmental destruction caused by humanity would transform into monsters, taking on new forms to exact revenge on humanity.
Weak and feeble, humans were no match for these monsters born from their own actions. Given time, humanity would eventually perish from their own foolishness.
The Divine Being was initially pleased with the catastrophe it had devised.
However, there was one factor it had overlooked—the tendency of humans to repeat their mistakes. This, indeed, was a flaw in their nature.
But this seemingly weak race also had its strengths—limitless potential and unwavering resilience.
In the six previous great catastrophes, humans who survived managed to initiate new eras without external assistance, showcasing their indomitable spirit.
When monsters first appeared in the world, humans were powerless to resist and were easily slaughtered.
Yet, as time passed, some humans discovered their shortcomings and embarked on a journey of self-improvement and growth.
Gradually, these evolved humans became capable of fighting monsters and protecting the weak.
With the establishment of the Hero Association, powerful humans were organized and managed, reducing the threat monsters posed to humanity once more.
Witnessing this, the Divine Being was enraged. Its intention was to annihilate humanity through the creation of monsters, not to allow these fools to level up by fighting them.
If humans continued to grow stronger, how could its "Monster Calamity" fulfill its purpose of wiping out humanity as planned? Thus, the Divine Being had no choice but to intervene personally. Although it couldn't directly act through the planet's consciousness, it could manipulate various factors using its power.
"Vaccine Man" and "Vagrant Emperor" were powerful monsters created by the Divine Being to reduce the power gap between human heroes and monsters. But who could have known these two would be so useless?
The Hero Association gathered powerful humans, managing and allocating them effectively, but how could a disorganized group of monsters hope to defeat such a well-prepared force?
So, the Divine Being set another trap, showing Sexes a vision of that despairing future, guiding her to establish the "Monster Association" and oppose the Hero Association.
In essence, the monsters themselves were a calamity the Divine Being had unleashed upon humanity.
However, the confident Divine Being soon realized that the catastrophe it had brought upon Earth was insufficient to cause humanity's extinction. Unable to bear the frustration, it intervened directly.
After learning the full story behind the events, Yecheng couldn't help but feel a heavy heart.
From his perspective, the "Divine Being," who sought to annihilate humanity, could be seen as the ultimate villain from the human standpoint.
However, when viewing the issue from the planet's macroscopic perspective, he couldn't help but feel that the Divine Being's actions weren't entirely wrong...
During the previous six great floods, the Divine Being had given humans numerous chances, but humans repeatedly made the same fatal mistakes, and who could they blame but themselves?
Humans, as the life born from this planet, naturally receive assistance from the planet's consciousness, which is entirely reasonable.
The Monster Association's headquarters were destroyed, and Monster King Great Snake was defeated. The monsters that had been attacking various cities retreated after the Monster Association's defeat.
In other words, in this battle between humans and monsters, humans once again secured a difficult victory!
As the greatest contributor to this war, Yecheng first located the Monster Association's headquarters, then single-handedly stormed it, defeating Monster King Great Snake and ultimately ending the battle. His achievements were truly remarkable.
Due to these reasons, Yecheng's popularity and prestige soared, not only reaching the pinnacle among all humans but also rising from the original tenth position to the first position in the S-Class Hero rankings!
Indeed, although he hadn't been particularly active, the long-standing top-ranked "Sonic" was directly pushed down from the first position of the S-Class Hero rankings by Yecheng.
Despite Yecheng's refusal to accept the first position in the S-Class rankings, President Xi Qi and the Hero Association's executive directors insisted that Yecheng's rise was a widely accepted outcome.
In this battle against the Monster Association, the Hero Association ultimately emerged as the narrow victor, but due to their previous inaction, they now faced public questioning and condemnation.
At this critical juncture, the Hero Association, to stand tall, must introduce a "Superhero" to represent them.
The original "Sonic," although mysterious and powerful, lacked public recognition due to his infrequent appearances.
"Sweetheart Mask" had a popular image and sufficient popularity, but as an A-Class Hero, they were somewhat unqualified to represent the Hero Association.
Yecheng possessed both strength and popularity, was the greatest contributor to this war, and even had the support of a wealthy heiress like Kurenai. Therefore, it was only natural that he became the most admired hero at the moment.
Besides Yecheng, other heroes who participated in this battle also received varying degrees of rewards. Among them, Hellblizzard should be able to hold her own against Sir Sachs because of her improved hero ranking, which directly replaced Yecheng's original tenth position in the S-Class rankings.
Regarding her new ranking, Hellblizzard felt both joy and a sense of inadequacy, as she was well aware that her demonstrated strength was due to the use of "pseudo-command seals."
Therefore, after accepting the ranking increase, Hellblizzard's top priority was to quickly find Yecheng for "mana replenishment."
Three pseudo-command seals were definitely insufficient, and she intended to cover her body with seals, ensuring she could maintain her strength as an S-Class Hero!
