With the subsequent fermentation of the meteorite incident, Allen once again made the headlines and became the subject of reports by major media.
As for the content, it is extremely flattering. There are so many disgusting words that even I got goosebumps after reading it. At the same time, my stomach acid could not help but feel like vomiting.
As if overnight, he became the savior of all mankind and the only hope of the earth.
Not only that!
Countless invitations to interviews, TV talk shows, advertisements, endorsements, etc. are popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
But any fool can see that this is a star-making movement secretly promoted by high-level government officials.
Whenever someone mentions the achievements of Allen in public, they will mention the name of a certain political boss and repeatedly emphasize that without his support, Z-City and City D will inevitably become completely opposite hellish situations.
Under the bombardment of this highly intensive false information, more than 90% of the people believed it to be true, and left messages on the Internet to support his candidacy for the next supreme leader to replace the current incompetent government.
After some operations, Allen, as expected, replaced "Silver Fang" Bang to become the third-ranked S-class hero, and this veteran politician gained the coveted good reputation and an extremely high approval rate.
The transaction between the two parties can be said to be a happy one for both parties.
The only ones injured are the current government, whose support rate has been plummeting, and Atomic Samurai, who is very dissatisfied with Allen riding on his head.
It's a pity that as the losing party, they can't come up with any countermeasures except incompetent barking.
After all, once a major trend forms in public opinion, there is simply no way to reverse it with the power of just a few people.
And with Allen as the center, a huge interest group involving politics, business and academia has been formed.
If there is no equivalent force, if you want to shake this huge interest group, you will definitely be swallowed up to the bone.
Of course, Bald Demon King Saitama, who shattered the giant meteorite with one punch in this incident, finally gained the "famousness" he had been waiting for.
Although this "famousness" is not what he imagined...
"Pfft hahahaha! Caped Baldy? This stamp is really quite impressive."
After looking at the fans' comments on the Hero Association's website, Allen couldn't help but laugh and slam the table.
Compared with the large amount of support and praise in other hero's personal fan circles, Bald Demon King's fan circle can be said to be different, with various "anti-fan" shows taking off.
Someone even drew a four-frame cartoon of him smashing a meteorite with his bald head, swearing that this bald head was the hardest thing in the world.
"Ahhhhhh!!! Damn it! Why? Why? With the same efforts, you and Genos can gain so many normal fans, but when you come to me, they all become like this." Saitama was obviously going crazy, and roared through gritted teeth.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
He just saw the messages and comments in the fan circles of the other two people, and they were all full of praise and gratitude.
But when I got here, I made a 180-degree turn in an instant.
Especially the nickname "Caped Baldy" really hit his pain point.
What's even more outrageous is that the peripheral products and figures of Allen and Genos are all in a cool style, and they stand out from any angle.
But he acted in a funny and prank style. He didn't look like a hero at all. Instead, he looked like a clown who made children happy.
"Of course it's because of appearance. After all, it's hard for ordinary people to tell which hero is stronger, so first impression is very important. But what about you? A rustic uniform, coupled with a bald head that is brighter than a light bulb, always gives people a sinister look."
Allen was counting down the bald head's outfit that was full of flaws.
Although he himself didn't know much about dressing, he could still tell at a glance how eye-catching the opponent's uniform was.
I really don't know if the clothing store owner who gave Great Demon King the uniform had a grudge against him, or if he just wanted to make a joke.
Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that a person in the clothing industry would make such ugly clothes.
Genos's electronic eyes instantly locked onto Saitama's uniform and quickly entered the analysis state. After about ten seconds, he immediately nodded in agreement. "Indeed! Teacher, you'd better change into a uniform and then wear a wig. This should greatly improve your image and win more fans."
"Shut up, you two! I don't believe that I can't find anyone in this world who can truly appreciate me."
Saitama is undoubtedly a very stubborn person. He directly rejected the eldest disciple's proposal and planned to continue to maintain the original status.
As he has repeatedly emphasized, he chose to be a hero mainly because of his interest, so he will never cater to the opinions of outsiders.
What's more, these "anti-fans" who are active in the fan circle, although various speech shows are flying, they also admit his achievements in smashing meteorites in disguise.
Therefore, the bald head did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, he thought this was a good start.
After all, compared to being unknown before, at least he is famous now...
"Okay, just do as you like. In addition, this is a bonus check, three billion each for you and Genos. I will donate the rest to the ordinary people injured in this disaster, as well as to the sanitation workers responsible for cleaning up the city. You must know that it is very hard to clean up so much dust and gravel."
With that said, Allen threw the two checks on the table.
Obviously, for him, the money and wealth in this world do not have much meaning, and they cannot be taken to the next world, so he spends them extravagantly.
Especially for charitable donations, he always ranks first among all the heroes in the Hunter Association, and even the top rich people are amazed by him.
It is precisely for this reason that Allen's morality is simply that of a "saint" in the eyes of the outside world.
Potential enemies who want to attack him can't find any obvious black spots.
"Huh? Don't you keep some for yourself?"
Saitama stared at the series of zeros on the ticket with some eager eyes, and asked in an uncertain tone.
no way!
He was so poor that even buying a ticket to take the subway was a luxury.
Although registering as a professional hero has resulted in a relatively stable income, he can barely make ends meet.
"Don't worry about me, my signing fees in the past few days alone have reached more than one billion, and I'm worried about how to spend it." Allen took out his mobile phone and showed the balance of his bank account.
"Okay, thank you very much."
After Bald Demon King read it, he immediately felt at ease and carefully put the check into his pocket, preparing to find a time to go to the bank to go through the transfer procedures.
If he succeeds, then the twenty yuan Dark History that he has maintained in his bank account for several years will finally come to an end...
While the two were talking, Allen and Genos's phones rang at the same time.
At the same time, the cartoon that was originally playing on the TV was suddenly cut off. A young female host was standing in the ruins and said to the audience with a serious face, "Now there is an urgent news break. Many monsters that appeared in City J call themselves Deep Sea Clan. They will explode when they encounter humans. He launched an attack and claimed to rule the surface and turn everyone into food. The hero is currently resisting with all his strength. Judging from the situation on the scene, his physical strength seems to be close to the limit and he is in a state of fatigue. We hope that Hero Association will take the next step as soon as possible. The current disaster level is tiger, please do not approach without permission..."
"Deep Sea Clan? Teacher, didn't you defeat a guy who claimed to be the Deep Sea Clan messenger some time ago?" Genos asked without looking back.
"Uh... I don't remember."
Saitama scratched his bald head with an innocent expression on his face.
Can't blame him.
After all, in his eyes, anyone who couldn't withstand an ordinary punch from him had no value in being remembered at all.
"It seems that Hunter Association wants us to go over and deal with it. By the way, what I hate the most is Fish-Men who smells fishy..."
Allen had no intention of pressing the answer button and just let the phone keep ringing.
Because through the lens of the TV camera, he had vaguely captured a black afterimage.
And this afterimage is none other than Sonic Sonic, who has been practicing ninjutsu in hiding for more than half a month.
It would be too disappointing if a ninja who has mastered the energy of Chakra cannot even solve a "ghost" level Deep Sea King.
"Huh? Aren't you going to attack?"
Saitama, who was about to change clothes, was stunned for a moment.
"It's not necessary because it's over."
Just as Allen was speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed on the TV.
Immediately afterwards, all the monsters that climbed up from the sea were dismembered and turned into countless palm-sized pieces of meat, with the width and thickness of each piece being almost the same.
Before the host could react to what had happened, Sonic fell from the sky in a very calm manner and landed steadily next to the broken corpse. He shook off the blood stained by the long knife in his hand and sneered and mocked, "Deep Sea Clan? Conquer the land? Rule the human race? You stinky fish and rotten shrimps are really impatient to live."
"You... who are you?"
The eleventh-ranked A-level hero "Stinger" opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Because even he was beaten so badly by these Deep Sea Clan that he almost used his special trick.
But the opponent completed the instant kill in just an instant, so fast that he couldn't even see clearly.
"Hmph! The so-called heroes are nothing more than that. Get away, the next battle is not something that this kind of bastard can participate in."
Having said that, Sonic turned his attention to the tall figure in green not far away.
"Asshole! How dare you look down on me?" Stinger's eyes flashed with anger.
Just when he was about to teach the arrogant guy in front of him a lesson, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his abdomen, and then his whole body flew out uncontrollably and hit the wall of the building behind him.
boom!
With a loud noise, Stinger was embedded in the wall, rolled his eyes and fainted.
Until the last second before losing consciousness, he didn't see who attacked him.
"So weak! So weak!" Deep Sea King clenched his fists with contempt and disdain in his tone.
Sonic nodded with deep understanding. "I completely agree with this point. A fool like this who overestimates his own abilities cannot blame others even if he dies. In addition, you seem to be a good opponent who can help me test the results of my cultivation during this period."
"Huh? Human, do you think you will be my opponent?" Deep Sea King grinned, revealing the sharp, jagged teeth inside.
"The frog in the well is really pitiful. You may have never seen a strong person in your life, right? Well... it doesn't matter, you will die under my sword soon anyway. Ninja Technique-Shadow Clone Technique!"
The words just fell!
Two identical clones instantly appeared out of thin air on the left and right sides of Sonic.
He didn't even give his opponent any chance to react. He turned into an afterimage and charged forward.
One of the clones quickly completed the seal while moving, opened its mouth and blew out a strong stream of air.
"Wind Style—Great Breakthrough!"
The other clone moved behind the enemy, raised his palm and released another ninjutsu.
"Wind Style—Gale Palm!"
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!
Blood splattered everywhere under the squeeze and tear of two strong winds.
Deep Sea King couldn't help but scream in pain, "Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
In just a few seconds, a large area of skin on his body had completely shattered, revealing the bloody muscles, internal organs and bones inside.
You must know that "Great Breakthrough" and "Gale Palm" themselves are not powerful and destructive ninjutsu, but are closer to a control and tactical ninjutsu.
When the enemy gets close, a strong airflow is suddenly released to blow the opponent away.
But Sonic can directly combine two ninjutsu and use them at the same time to form a huge convection wind pressure in a small area, thus achieving the same effect as a meat grinder.
Thanks to Deep Sea King's strong body, otherwise an ordinary person would be torn apart into nothing but a pile of bones in minutes.
"Haha, come on, come and please me. I am Sonic the Hedgehog! Arrow Ninja Village's disciple of Jonin!"
Sonic gave his name with a ferocious smile, and then cooperated with the two Shadow Clone to take the initiative to attack Deep Sea King.
With the blessing of Chakra energy, his advantage in speed has been further strengthened, so fast that even the camera cannot capture it.
Through the TV, the audience could only see a very blurry afterimage, and they had no idea what was going on.
When he stopped, Deep Sea King, who had clamored to dominate the world just a few minutes ago, was reduced to a pair of white bones.
All the meat on this guy's body was cut into almost transparent slices by Sonic's sharp blade.
Looking at the remaining skeleton, he gently shook off the blood stained on the knife and said proudly, "Fresh fish is indeed the best for making sashimi."
Poor Deep Sea King probably never dreamed that he who wanted to treat humans as food would eventually become a human dish.
But it's hard to say whether anyone would dare to eat it...
