Event Begins: Steel Riot

"Accept."

This was a perfect opportunity to explore a Disaster Event. There was no reason to miss it.

The moment he made his decision.

New information immediately appeared on Azu's retina.

You have accepted this event.

Event Name: Steel Riot: The Challenger.

Description: Those with great power would always attract challengers. At this moment, there was one such person in the city.

Hansen Lev, a robber. You once arrested and imprisoned him. After his release, he received funding from a mysterious figure and was now robbing a bank in an Iron Suit, attempting to challenge your authority.

So what are you waiting for?

Event Requirement: Teach Hansen Lev a lesson and let him know your strength.

Event Begins!

After the last line of information flashed past.

An explosion suddenly rang out in the city.

Azu rose to his feet and walked toward the window.

"Clean this place up."

"I hope I won't smell anything strange when I get back."

Then he flew out the window.

He vanished into the sky in an instant.

The wind howled past Azu's ears.

In the blink of an eye.

He had arrived at the scene.

Federal Savings Bank.

At that moment.

The area outside the bank was packed with police officers, while an enormous vault lay crushed atop a police car.

The bank's entrance had been shattered. It looked as though someone had thrown it out from inside.

Just then, a nearly four-meter-tall figure emerged from the doorway.

Its black iron body gleamed with metallic luster, while its engines and exposed energy nodes radiated light.

Pipes on its back spewed hot smoke as something like an enlarged Iron Man stepped out of the bank.

Azu hovered high in the air, with no intention of intervening immediately.

He was more curious about where this big iron man had come from.

There was no such character in The Boys.

Had his transmigration caused some changes?

"Hands up!"

"Get out of that machine!"

The police raised their guns and shouted at the big iron man.

The suit's outer armor opened, revealing a bald head.

A man with half his face disfigured shouted, "Cops, hurry up and call Homelander over."

"Today, I'm going to make him suffer the same pain!"

He pointed at the disfigured half of his face.

Azu tilted his head. He searched through the original owner's memories but found no information about this man.

It seemed Homelander had never considered this person worth remembering.

On the ground.

After speaking, Hansen Lev climbed back into the armor. The big iron man raised his right hand.

The armor above his wrist lifted, extending a barrel. Then a stream of fire spewed from it.

A flamethrower!

Whoosh!

Boom!

Police cars exploded wherever the flames passed.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the big iron man rushed to the vault, slung it over one shoulder, and prepared to leave.

Azu suddenly looked toward the other side of the street.

On a rooftop over there.

A figure leaped down and crashed into the ground like a meteor.

The impact sent a wave of stone surging through the street, throwing the iron man off balance.

Then the figure charged forward and launched a flying kick, sending the iron man flying.

The iron man flew backward with a whoosh, smashing through four or five police cars before finally stopping.

Only then did Hansen Lev, inside the armor, see that a woman had appeared in the street.

She had long, passionate wine-red hair, wore gladiator-like armor, and possessed a sexy, fiery figure.

It was none other than Queen Maeve of The Seven.

Azu raised his brows slightly.

Queen Maeve possessed Superman-like strength and defense.

Sexy. Mature.

And Homelander's former lover.

"This is getting more interesting."

Like a spectator watching a show, Azu observed from the sky, even thinking that a bag of chips would make this better.

"Which one of them is stronger?"

He looked at the big iron man, a robber who had somehow acquired a suit of armor.

The iron man jumped up, and the armor on his shoulders opened, revealing a small missile launcher on each side.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Several small missiles whistled toward Queen Maeve.

Maeve immediately ducked behind the vault.

The Federal Reserve Bank vault was exceptionally sturdy. It remained intact amid the explosions of several fireballs.

Taking advantage of the opening, Maeve charged forward. She lunged before the big iron man.

Wrapping both arms around the iron man's left leg, she yanked hard and brought him down.

Then she rolled to her feet, turned, took a step, and unleashed a vicious kick between the big iron man's legs.

Quite a few men at the scene instinctively clenched their legs together at the sight.

The big iron man slid across the ground from Maeve's kick, only stopping after crashing through a streetlamp.

Maeve charged again.

The big iron man raised his left hand. With a whoosh, a launcher on his wrist armor fired something.

The object suddenly unfolded in midair. It was an alloy wire net.

It covered Maeve, and even with her strength, she could not tear it apart right away.

The big iron man took the opportunity to attack. He rushed over and punched Maeve to the ground, drawing cries of alarm from the surrounding crowd.

Then he grabbed Maeve, spun her around a few times, and hurled her away.

Maeve crashed into a police car, sending it flying into the air. It flipped repeatedly before falling toward civilians by the roadside.

People screamed and scattered.

Only a little girl of five or six stood there blankly, staring at the police car falling from the sky.

Only then did the girl's mother react. She cried out, "Becky!"

The police car came crashing down.

People could not help closing their eyes.

They did not dare look at the horrific scene.

The girl's mother fainted outright.

But she was unconscious for only a second or two.

Then she heard soft gasps from the crowd, which quickly turned into cheers.

The girl's mother looked over.

The police car had already landed on the ground.

Behind it.

A Stars and Stripes cape fluttered in the wind.

As the cape settled.

It revealed a blond man in a Blue battle suit.

And her daughter, Becky.

"Homelander!"

The mother instantly understood that Homelander had saved her daughter!

The surrounding civilians swarmed over, shouting Homelander's name and reaching out to touch him.

Like pilgrims worshipping a saint.

Azu smiled and nodded to the crowd, then gently nudged the little girl. "Do me a favor and stay with your mother, all right?"

The little girl nodded, then waved her tiny fist. "Homelander, you have to defeat the bad guy!"

Azu placed a hand over his chest and smiled. "As you command, miss."

Amid the little girl's laughter.

Azu lifted off the ground, flew across the street, and landed beside Maeve.

He adjusted the power of his Heat Ray and fired dark crimson beams from his eyes, helping her cut apart the alloy wire net around her.

"How are you?"

Maeve shrugged. "I won't die."

"Then get some rest."

Azu smiled at the big iron man. "I'll take the second round."

Inside the big iron man, Hansen roared, "Homelander, you're finally here!"

"You bastard, I'm going to burn your face into roasted meat—the charred kind!"

Azu raised one finger. "If you tell me who gave you this suit of armor, I can plead for leniency with the judge."

"Go to hell!"

The big iron man raised his middle finger.

Azu smiled.

Then he suddenly appeared behind the big iron man.

"I hope you have a parachute."

Before Hansen could react, Azu dragged the huge chunk of metal into the sky.

"What are you doing?"

"Let go of me, you bastard!"

Azu flashed eight teeth in a smile. "Your words, not mine."

Then he threw him with all his strength.

The big iron man flew away.

"Ah, no—"

Watching the big iron man soar high into the air before beginning to fall.

Azu finally made his eyes light up, as though magma were boiling within them.

The next second.

Boom!

A torrent of energy blasted forth like cannon fire.

Laser Rays, Lethal mode!

The dark crimson stream slammed into the big iron man's chest.

The armor rapidly melted.

Then a flash of fire appeared.

Boom.

A massive fireball erupted in midair.

Hansen Lev and his armor were blown to pieces, countless fragments falling toward the ground.

Azu adjusted the power of his Heat Ray and swept the sky with it, destroying every fragment.
