Chapter 955: Yecheng Becomes the New Monster King
Not only had Yecheng and Hellblizzard's hero rankings improved, but Baldy's ranking had also skyrocketed, jumping directly from a B-Class Hero to an S-Class Hero, taking the spot previously held by Hellblizzard at the bottom of the S-Class rankings.
Baldy's strength had been impressive, and his hero ranking could have been even higher, but unfortunately, his battle against Sexisnake took place in the vastness of the ocean, with no witnesses to testify to his feats.
Sexisnake was ultimately defeated by Yecheng, so Saitama's contribution in the fight was undeniable, yet he was labeled as Yecheng's sidekick and assistant, resulting in a less significant increase in his hero ranking.
However, Saitama himself was overjoyed with this new ranking.
After all, the treatment of a B-Class Hero couldn't compare to that of an S-Class Hero. The only thing that left Baldy speechless was his hero name.
Even after ascending to the S-Class, reaching an unprecedented rank, his hero name remained "Bald Cape Hero."
The Hero Association's response was straightforward; they typically named heroes based on their distinctive features or most powerful abilities.
Baldy didn't possess any remarkable techniques, and aside from his baldness and the tacky blanket cape, there weren't any memorable traits to associate with him.
After the battle, Sir Sachs and the remaining forces of the Monster Association vanished without a trace.
Most people assumed that Sir Sachs and the monsters had relocated to a remote area outside the city.
What they didn't know was that Sir Sachs and his monsters had returned to City Z shortly after leaving.
Indeed, the new headquarters of the Monster Association was still located beneath City Z, and this time, they had established their base directly beneath the home of the top-ranked S-Class Hero, the White Reaper.
The humans and heroes would never have dreamed that the Monster Association would dare to rebuild their headquarters in City Z, let alone right beneath the residence of an S-Class Hero.
This was a classic case of "the darkest place is under the lamp," and it was even more surprising considering that the Monster Association's elders now knew that the top-ranked S-Class Hero, who was highly revered, was one of their own.
City Z had become a wasteland after the battle between the Hero and Monster Associations, with most areas reduced to ruins.
However, with Miss Kurenai's connections, major corporations seemed to be planning to rebuild the city.
Previously, City Z had been sparsely populated due to frequent monster appearances, but now that the Monster Association had been uprooted, and with four S-Class Heroes, including the top-ranked one, residing in the city, it was arguably the safest place in the world.
Although there had been several new additions to the S-Class Hero roster, the total number still fell short of twenty. With twenty-six cities in total, it was already impressive for a city to have even one S-Class Hero.
But now, City Z boasted four S-Class Heroes: Yecheng, Saitama, Genos, and Hellblizzard, making it almost as safe as City A, the location of the Hero Association's headquarters.
After the battle with the monsters, Yecheng took the time to visit the newly established Monster Association, and as an S-Class Hero, he was warmly welcomed.
When Sir Sachs revealed his fabricated story to Yecheng, the latter was momentarily stunned.
However, upon learning that the "Monster Disaster" was actually the seventh calamity sent by the Divine Being to test humanity, Yecheng decided to let bygones be bygones.
In order to gain the trust of the monsters within the Monster Association, Yecheng went as far as consuming a large amount of "Monster Cells" in front of numerous monsters.
It is common knowledge that if a human were to ingest Monster Cells, they would degenerate into monsters. Yecheng's action was, in fact, a calculated move to solidify his identity as a "Human Monster."
The Monster Cells were originally concocted by Sir Sachs, and with Yecheng's current strength, they posed little threat to him. Thus, under the manipulation of the two, it was impossible for the cells to have any effect on Yecheng.
After witnessing Yecheng's unchanging appearance even after consuming the Monster Cells, the monsters of the Monster Association were now fully convinced of his identity as a Human Monster. They unanimously endorsed Yecheng as their new leader.
Compared to the previous Monster King Great Snake, Yecheng not only possessed strength but also intelligence, and he wasn't as tyrannical as Great Snake. Moreover, with the guise of an S-Class Hero, the monsters believed that Yecheng could lead them to the pinnacle.
Despite Yecheng's initial reluctance and modesty, he eventually assumed the position of "Monster King."
After becoming the Monster King, Yecheng summoned all the Phantom-Class Monsters and above and held the first meeting of the new Monster Association.
Seated on the Monster King's throne, Yecheng's appearance had transformed from his original human form. He now wore the skin of the Bone King, resembling a skeleton.
Noticing the astonished gazes of the monsters before him, Yecheng explained, "The Monster Association has a diverse membership, and to prevent my identity as an S-Class Hero from being exposed among humans, I will henceforth appear as the 'Skeleton King' within the Monster Association.
All of you, being Phantom-Class Monsters and above, are the backbone and elite of our new Monster Association. Naturally, you are entitled to know my true identity.
As for the lower-ranked monsters, I will have Sir Sachs find a way to erase their memories."
As Yecheng spoke, the monsters in the room nodded in agreement, some even feeling a sense of pride.
There was no doubt that Yecheng, as their leader, had an absolute secret identity. Being Phantom-Class Monsters and above, they were the elite of the new Monster Association and thus had the privilege of knowing such secrets. As for the lower-ranked monsters, what right did they have to sit at the same table as them?
Since the Monster King was an undercover agent, the fewer who knew, the better. If the lower-ranked monsters started spreading the word, it wouldn't be long before the truth was exposed.
"Aside from my identity, we also need to reform the management of our new Monster Association. The previous structure was overly simplistic.
Therefore, I've decided to establish five departments within the Monster Association: the 'Combat Division,' 'Intelligence Division,' 'Discipline Division,' 'Recruitment Division,' and 'Research Division.'
Each division will be led by a Dragon-Class officer, with at least two deputy leaders being Phantom-Class Peak Monsters.
The Combat Division will handle all combat-related matters.
The Intelligence Division will be responsible for gathering and investigating information.
The Discipline Division will deal with internal traitors and mediate internal disputes.
The Recruitment Division will seek out new members to strengthen our Monster Association.
Lastly, the Research Division will conduct research on drugs and technology to enhance our power further.
