Lucky C-Class Saitama

Bang~ With Mumen Rider collapsing in the pouring rain, covered in blood, the people in the shelter were completely despairing.

"It's over, all the heroes have been defeated. Who can possibly save us?"

"What kind of trash does the Hero Association recruit? So many heroes can't even defeat one monster!"

"The monster is right, these heroes are trash."

"Why don't we try to appease the monster? Isn't he hunting heroes? He probably won't do anything to us then."

"That's the only way out of this. We must send a representative to negotiate with the monster. They can do whatever they want with these heroes, as long as they let us live."

A commotion erupted in the crowd. The ugly faces of the humans now, and the heroes lying in pools of blood, formed a stark contrast.

"No! These people risked their lives for us! How can you betray them? Heroes are the best!"

A childish voice rang out. Most people lowered their heads. They knew what the heroes had done, but their desperate desire to live forced them to act this way.

"What do you know, you little brat? If you talk any more, we'll throw you out and let the monster eat you first!"

A young man with dyed yellow hair and a face full of freckles stepped forward and spat on the fallen hero.

"A bunch of garbage. Mr. Monster, you can do whatever you want with these heroes! Please, just let us live!"

Yellow Hair said with a fawning expression, while Deep Sea King showed a playful smile.

"Humans are truly a pathetic species! That's why, from the very beginning, I wanted to crush all of you ants!"

"What?!"

Yellow Hair's face showed terror. Faced with such a powerful monster, everyone felt a sense of despair.

"Who can come and save us!"

"Heroes! Only heroes can save us!"

"Hmph~ Relying on this bunch of trash?"

"The big brothers aren't trash, they're the best!"

The little boy argued forcefully. The heroes' actions of rushing forward one after another to protect everyone had deeply touched his young heart.

"Not trash? Alright, then let the heroes you're talking about protect everyone right now!"

Dong dong dong~ Just then, a deafening sound echoed through the sky, and Deep Sea King also felt a strange aura.

"Oh? Is it a new soldier? He looks a bit different from the other trash."

Deep Sea King looked at the king-like aura emanating from the man before him, and a bloodthirsty desire to fight surged within him.

"He... He is!"

Some people in the crowd recognized the identity of the newcomer. His tall and imposing figure, his cold face with three terrifying scars, and his king-like engine.

"KING! The Strongest Man on Earth!!!"

"Great, we're saved!"

"But, so many heroes were defeated by the monster, even KING might not..."

Under Wu Di's cold gaze, Yellow Hair felt an extreme killing intent and wisely shut his mouth.

"KING!"

Mumen Rider forced his eyes open and looked at KING's majestic back through the rain.

"Well done! Leave the rest to me."

Wu Di's voice clearly reached Mumen Rider's ears. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he passed out.

"Yo, Genos, are you okay?"

"Saitama... Teacher..."

Genos weakly raised his head. Saitama was squatting in front of him. Seeing that he was not dead, Saitama breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ Thankfully, you're still alive. Don't worry, I'll beat up this stinky fish right now."

Saitama's words made Wu Di's heart skip a beat. Wu Di knew that as soon as the other party made a move, Deep Sea King would definitely be instantly killed.

"No, I have to make a move before Saitama. Peak Demon-level monsters are not common."

Wu Di secretly gathered his strength, mobilizing all his aura. The surging airflow around him split the surrounding heavy rain.

"The accumulated aura is probably not enough to defeat Deep Sea King. I'll have to find an opportunity."

"A bunch of ants, actually thinking they can oppose me! I come from the deep sea, I am the king of the ocean, the ocean is the source of all things, I am the existence standing at the top of the food chain. If you want to resist me..."

"Mhm, I get it. It's raining, you better hurry up and attack!"

"Die!"

Deep Sea King threw a terrifying punch, and everyone held their breath. Wu Di's aura had also risen to its peak.

Boom~ The moment Saitama threw his punch, Wu Di's aura erupted fiercely. The terrifying fist wind directly pierced Deep Sea King's body, and the surrounding rainwater was instantly scattered.

Plop~ Deep Sea King's corpse heavily fell to the ground, and a pool of green blood slowly spread outwards.

"Huh???"

"Hooray!!!"

After a brief silence, deafening cheers erupted from the shelter.

"Did I get it?"

Wu Di remained outwardly calm, but his heart pounded. Saitama's punch was truly terrifying.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for defeating a Peak Demon-level monster. You have been rewarded with 3,000 Talent Points and a random experience card."

"Monster Slaughter Order completion: 15 monsters below Demon-level. 3 Demon-level monsters. 0 Dragon-level monsters."

"Great, I got it."

Hearing the system's notification, Wu Di finally breathed a sigh of relief. His previously empty Talent Points had unknowingly reached 14,400.

"Are you a hero too?"

Saitama's question startled Wu Di. After all, he had intervened in the battle without permission. However, it seemed the other party didn't mind.

"My name is KING. Nice to meet you!"

Wu Di forced a smile. He hadn't expected Saitama to become so interested.

"Oh! So you're KING. I often see your merchandise and figures in stores. That's strange, we're meeting for the first time, but why do I feel so familiar?"

"Ahem~ I have something else to do, so I'll be going now."

Leaving Saitama, who was still trying to recall, Wu Di quickly departed. Not long after leaving the scene, he received a call from the Hero Association.

"Mr. KING, thank you for intervening and defeating the Deep Sea King, saving the citizens of J City."

"You've got it wrong. I hadn't even had a chance to act yet. The one who defeated the monster was C-Class Saitama."

Beep beep beep~ The familiar busy tone of the phone. Jace was completely bewildered.

"Why is it this Saitama again? Why does KING always give him the credit?"

"Supervisor Jace, you should see this!"

Maria's voice called out. It turned out the footage of the Deep Sea King's defeat had been captured entirely by surveillance cameras.

From this angle, although both had attacked simultaneously, the slow-motion replay clearly showed Saitama's attack piercing the Deep Sea King's body first. KING wasn't lying.

"Second C-Class Hero, Saitama. Are you just lucky, or do you actually have real talent?"
