In the distance, the S-Class Heroes who had been helping elsewhere were likewise drawn to the battle between Boros and Lu Changsheng.
S-Class Hero Mumen Rider looked up. Seeing that terrifying force of impact—something he could not surpass even after training for a long time—he murmured, "Who are they? Who are those two fighting?"
Tatsumaki, who was continuously using her psychic powers to attack the spaceship, was even more curious. "I've never seen this kind of power before. That place seems to be where Silver Fang and the other S-Class Heroes were fighting."
Child Emperor and Pig God stood side by side. Child Emperor tried to analyze it with data, but the readings immediately went off the charts. He cried out, "What terrifying combat power! It directly exceeds the numerical limit. Are god-level beings fighting?"
"The white one, and the pink one," Pig God said slowly.
Within the Chat Group—
Takanashi Rikka: True Monarch is amazing! True Monarch is mighty!
Daigo: Eh, such a small body can unleash that much power. The guy fighting True Monarch isn't weak either.
Shinobu Kocho: Look closely. The enemy leader has been attacking the whole time, while True Monarch hasn't even made a move. He's completely toying with him. True Monarch clearly has the upper hand here.
Boros, who was still fighting, noticed this as well.
Gathering all his strength, he roared, "Fight me! Stop defending and come fight!"
Lu Changsheng blocked the beam with a single finger and slowly descended to the ground. Under the watchful eyes of the many S-Class Heroes, he said calmly, "I'll grant your wish. I only hope you won't regret it."
"Prophesied One, make your move." Boros unleashed even greater power. His entire body turned pink, and gaps of power flowed across his body like a brilliant river of stars. His eyes grew larger, his body became more muscular, and he brought unparalleled pressure upon all the heroes present.
Boros slowly rose into the air, condensing all his power into a single point.
"This attack contains all of my power. Feel pain."
"This is bad. We have to stop him." Silver Fang let out a long breath. He could sense a fatal threat from Boros's attack.
"Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist!"
"Atomic Slash!"
"..."
The S-Class Heroes hurriedly acted, unleashing their strongest attacks in an attempt to defeat Boros.
But without exception, they were all stopped by Boros's subordinates.
Some were even injured by the power Boros erupted with after getting close to him.
They could only watch helplessly as Boros launched his strongest attack.
Feeling its incomparable destructive force.
Lu Changsheng flicked his hand, conjuring a sword from thin air.
With a light flick of the blade, it was as though stars were shattering and chaos itself trembled.
A world-shaking sword light swept forth, intimidating all present and illuminating the entirety of City A.
Boros's planet-shattering beam looked as laughable as a child driving a truck before Lu Changsheng's sword light.
The sword light engulfed the beam and struck Boros.
An absolute force of destruction spread through Boros's body.
"Aaargh!" Boros let out a pained howl.
His race possessed incredible regenerative abilities, but the Sword Qi now coursed through his body, constantly destroying his flesh.
Starting from the soles of his feet, Boros's body gradually collapsed and disintegrated.
Under that sword light, his entire body was undoubtedly about to turn to ashes.
When a Saint made a move, even if he deliberately restrained his strength, it was still enough to destroy heaven and earth.
With a single sweeping strike, the sword light crossed the heavens, killed Boros, burst out of Earth, and vanished into the boundless galaxy.
Beyond the star system, it directly shattered a planet before finally coming to a halt.
Lu Changsheng floated in the sky as the sword dissolved into light.
His white robes fluttered, his long hair flowing freely. He was like a True Immortal descending upon the world.
The heroes present, and all of City A, were utterly stunned.
That earth-shattering sword strike possessed the bearing to stand unrivaled through the ages.
Could a human truly wield such power?
Within the Chat Group—
Passerby Kamen Rider: Damn it, True Monarch showed off again. He killed the enemy in one strike.
Shinobu Kocho: I truly admire True Monarch's character and strength. If one day I could strike with such a sword, demons would be nothing at all.
Licenseless Rider: As expected, the Mission Ticket wasn't used wrongly. No matter how terrifying the enemy is, before everyone, they're completely insignificant.
Batman: The strongest opponent was still dealt with by True Monarch.
Dragon Maid: Hiss! This guy is terrifying beyond measure. He absolutely cannot be allowed to live. [Grin]
Lu Changsheng's sword reminded Thor of the days when she had faced the gods alone, only to be nailed to a spot by a single sword strike.
After a while, Atomic Samurai recovered from his shock. He glared viciously at the invaders and said, "The battle is over. Your boss is dead. Hey, you invaders, you're next!"
"Damn it! Run!"
"Oh my god, Lord Boros was actually killed by the natives of this planet."
"Mommy, I want to go home."
"Damn it!!! We really underestimated this planet."
Boros's death threw the enemy forces into complete chaos.
With so many heroes joining the fight, the remaining enemies were simply slaughtered.
Lu Changsheng landed beside Batman.
"The biggest boss has been dealt with. Let's go." Lu Changsheng had no interest in the small fry, and Boros had not been much of a fight either.
He had been one-shot.
"Alright." Batman nodded.
"Wait, wait, please hold on, you two!" At that moment, a High-Quality Male—a middle-aged man with a head full of greasy hair—came running over, panting heavily.
"What is it?" Batman turned and asked.
"Your strength is truly terrifying, but it seems neither of you has joined the hero profession?" The High-Quality Greasy Man said with a smile, explaining the benefits of joining the Hero Association and sincerely inviting the two of them to join the association as S-Class Heroes.
After hearing that, Batman said, "Heroes have never needed the recognition of an outside organization, much less serve as tools for you to make money. Heroes appear only when people need them. No matter who that person is, no matter their past or what they have done, as long as they protect the people, they are heroes."
Without the Batman mask, Bruce was the man in control of the Fucai Group and knew all too well how business schemes worked.
The moment he heard the greasy man's introduction, he understood everything.
He had no need to join the Hero Association, much less accept a hero's salary.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." The greasy man's teeth chattered as he explained.
It would be far too wasteful to let two people this powerful wander around the city without doing anything.
They had to make these two join the Hero Association so they could protect people and property like they had today.
Besides, if he let them leave just like that and messed up the task his boss had assigned him, he would be fired.
Lu Changsheng, standing beside him, seemed rather interested. He patted Batman on the shoulder and said, "We can join, but we don't need your money, nor will we follow your orders. We'll just lend our names to the association."
"Of course, of course, of course, of course." The greasy man immediately nodded frantically with a broad smile. He thought, As long as they're listed with us, won't there be plenty of chances to talk about it later?
Unfortunately, he had no idea that Lu Changsheng and Batman were not from this world. Otherwise, he would not have thought that way.
After hearing this, Batman could only nod. Since the True Monarch had said so, merely lending his name was no big deal. If this association dared use his name to do evil, then even if he had to cross worlds, he would return and wipe out such a vile force.
"Then what are your hero names? Do you have something in mind, or should we come up with one for you?"
"Batman," Batman said coldly.
"Heaven and Earth Sword, Chen Ping'an," Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
