About five minutes later, the S-Class Heroes left Fang Li's room.
They looked at one another, each carrying an indescribable heaviness in their hearts.
"Why couldn't we protect anything!?"
Sweet Mask's question echoed in the hearts of the S-Class Heroes.
And it brought unimaginable pressure.
"Hey." Kid Emperor suddenly asked everyone, "If Rakshasa hadn't been there during this incident, could we have handled it?"
That one sentence voiced everyone's thoughts.
"...Probably not, right?" Atomic Samurai said with a click of his tongue, one hand resting on the sword at his waist. "If it had only been those three Dragon-class guys from before, it wouldn't have been much of a problem. That spaceship's destructive power was astonishing, but it wasn't impossible to deal with."
However, behind all of that stood an enemy none of them could imagine any way of defeating.
That was Boros.
"That monster was simply too powerful." Bang spoke with a sigh. "That day, this old man merely watched from the side, yet I could still feel the despair and terror he brought."
It was a difference in dimension, an existence that could never be compared with them.
An existence capable of destroying planets, one that had wandered the universe for countless years without finding a worthy opponent and was known as the ruler of the cosmos—how could the civilization of a single planet possibly stand against him?
Therefore, that being alone was unbeatable.
Even if every hero in the Hero Association were tied together and sent in, victory would still be impossible.
Against an enemy like that, what would have happened if Fang Li had not appeared?
The answer was obvious.
"Humanity would have been wiped out," Tanktop Master said gravely. "This disaster undoubtedly can no longer be explained by the Dragon-class level."
"Yeah, I suppose so."
