Taking a Stroll

The Monster Association is also very familiar with the Hero Association.

It's impossible for them not to know Oboro, an S-class hero. Besides, Oboro was quite famous in society before, even though most people didn't like him.

However, judging from the recent announcements from the Hero Association, it seems that Oboro single-handedly turned the tide in the disaster that destroyed City A, and now he has become the number one S-class hero, causing people to question the fairness of the Hero Association.

This kind of person... actually came knocking on my door? Gyoro Gyoro chuckled.

They weren't worried at all that Oboro, as a hero, had come to eliminate them... because judging from the fact that the other party appeared in this no-man's-land and the images reflected in their minds, Oboro had obviously discovered the Monster Association.

Who are you talking about?

A figure emerged from a dark cave opposite the Gyoro Gyoro, asking indifferently.

"That Heartless Hero is currently ranked #1 in the Hero Association's S-Class, and his strength seems to be above Tatsumaki's... Otherwise, even if the Association makes an official announcement, those S-Class heroes wouldn't acknowledge it. The fact that it's published on the official website means that this person must indeed have some skills... However, he came alone, which clearly indicates that he has some purpose."

Gyoro Gyoro answered truthfully.

"One person? That's perfect. Taking him out here would be a major blow to the Hero Association, wouldn't it?"

"I've heard that... this person is quite irresponsible, and many people despise his heroic status."

"Thinking one person can take on all of us? Maybe they just discovered our scouts... They didn't realize this was our base, thinking they could kill the monster, they never expected they'd walked into a dead end."

From the caves in the walls in other directions, sounds came out one after another, and strange figures emerged.

"S-class heroes aren't as stupid as you think... Let's wait and see, there's no rush."

The man with the Gyoro Gyoro said calmly, "Anyway... the initiative is in our hands."

"Could he be the one to go first? Normally, he should have informed the Hero Association about this situation..."

"Or is it that, as a newly promoted S-class hero, and the number one at that... he's too confident in his own abilities?"

In a short time, more and more strange people emerged from the various cave entrances, and everyone began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

"Um?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Gyoro Gyoro's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

The first strange person to appear, and also the first mysterious person to speak with Gyoro Gyoro, asked.

"So fast... it's not normal speed. It feels like he's teleporting out of thin air," Gyoro Gyoro exclaimed in astonishment.

"Teleportation?"

The former's words were ambiguous.

The Gyoro Gyoro's telekinetic abilities were incredibly powerful, possessing a kind of clairvoyance... What it had initially sensed was that Oboro had appeared on the street above the monster's lair. It had been eagerly anticipating how Oboro would venture deeper underground, but unexpectedly, its target suddenly vanished. When it used its ability to search again, it was shocked to find that Oboro had mysteriously appeared in a passageway within the lair, and then... the man looked around and disappeared again.

And so... the Gyoro Gyoro locked onto the opponent's location several times, each time at a great distance, something that ordinary creatures couldn't achieve at such a speed.

It's like traveling through space.

"They're here!"

While the strange creatures inside the base cave didn't take it seriously and were even excited about the S-class hero's solo visit, Gyoro Gyoro suddenly looked down to the very bottom, at the entrance of the widest main passageway.

The group of strange people also looked over and subconsciously stopped talking.

A faint sound of footsteps could be heard.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a man in a suit and tie stood with his hands in his pockets.

He strolled leisurely, a smile on his face, into the heart of the monster's base.

"Hey, hello there."

Long pulled a hand out of his pocket, waving to all the strange people like a star entering a theater.

"..."

This scene stunned the strange people.

This reaction was completely different from what they had imagined.

They had originally expected that Oboro would panic upon seeing all sorts of strange people gathered here, each exuding a terrifying aura.

They even fled quickly.

Completely unexpected, the man was so calm... His demeanor could no longer be described as calm; he was completely relaxed and strolling around.

The cave was incredibly vast, comparable in size to several cathedral basilicas. Leaving aside the imposing and awe-inspiring monstrous Orochi directly in front of them, the sheer number of densely packed figures on the surrounding walls, along with the crimson eyes and gazes of these monsters, all exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The tangible hostility and murderous intent... it was almost suffocating.

Even so, it was as if this Heartless Hero did not exist.

Seeing that the group of strange people didn't react when he greeted them, as if they were stunned, Oboro stood still regardless.

Looking up at the colossal monster, Orochi, he whistled, "Judging by its appearance, it must be nearly sixty meters tall if it stood up... It's truly terrifying."

After saying that, he glanced past the monster king Orochi and looked at a spot on the wall behind it, where a Gyoro Gyoro, and asked, "This thing... how did you create it?"

Upon hearing the Gyoro Gyoro's pupils contracted. "You know me?"

"I know you, but you don't know me..." Long smiled.

It's important to know that Monster King Orochi was originally a human. His current appearance and strength are the work of Gyoro Gyoro, also known as Psykos.

She raised it herself.

In a way, it can also be considered a form of creation.

The other monsters were unaware that Psykos, under the identity of Gyoro Gyoro, was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Most of the monsters believed that Monster King Orochi possessed independent autonomy, but simply relied heavily on Gyoro Gyoro and was willing to follow its advice... Therefore, when Oboro revealed that Monster King Orochi was Gyoro Gyoro's puppet, it undoubtedly gave other monsters some food for thought.

Almost all the monsters here are convinced of the power of Monster King Orochi, rather than Gyoro Gyoro.

Because Monster King Orochi is the leader.

Gyoro Gyoro suppressed the urge to kill the man immediately, but was puzzled as to why the man knew about his relationship with Monster King Orochi.

"This is our leader... and I, from your human perspective, am like its advisor; I am also under its command. Although I don't know what nonsense you're spouting, I advise you to be honest, our leader has quite a temper."

Gyoro Gyoro chuckled and reminded him.

Sure enough, it was right above my head.

The Monster King Orochi lowered his head slightly, his terrifying eyes fixed on Oboro.

"Hey, superhero."

Just then, before Oboro and Gyoro Gyoro finished their conversation, a figure suddenly swooped down from the sky, landed steadily, and shouted in a cold voice.

Long turned around.

"You have ten seconds to explain why you're here."

The other person's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
