In City M, Wu Di, wearing a baseball cap to hide his face, walked down the street with the vegetables he had just bought, feeling relaxed.

"Nearly half of the two-month deadline has passed, it's about time to set off."

Wu Di mumbled to himself. After the last major battle, he had gone home to rest for two days and plan his next steps.

After all, with over three million Talent Points obtained this time, the best course of action was to convert them into combat power immediately.

The original plan was to exchange for the Pig God's Talent Skill, as it could devour monster corpses, strengthen the physical body, and also grant Talent Points.

However, without the Talent Growth bonus, the Pig God's skill could only devour monsters below Demon-level, so its utility wasn't very high. Moreover, Wu Di still had eight uses left on his experience card for devouring.

In the end, Wu Di gritted his teeth and used all three million Talent Points on the S-Class Talent Aura. After all, the power of Aura was evident, and it was arguably his most relied-upon skill.

"Talent Growth has reached thirty-two percent, and it can still stack even when I'm under attack."

After the Talent Growth of Aura broke through thirty percent, it brought Wu Di a great surprise.

Originally, Aura's stacking required Wu Di to attack continuously to be effective, but now, Aura would continuously strengthen even when he was under attack.

This was equivalent to indirectly speeding up Aura's stacking speed. Coupled with Wu Di's Immortality, it was a perfect combination.

"I'll head to Z City the day after tomorrow..."

A loud boom interrupted Wu Di's thoughts, and the people on the street screamed.

"Oh no, there's a monster!"

"Run! Save me!"

"Quick, call a hero!"

The crowd scattered instantly, but two people looked calmly ahead.

"Alert, alert, robot weapon detected causing extensive destruction near City M Central Park. Residents in the vicinity are advised to evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible!"

"Sensei, there's a monster! Should we...?"

Genos turned to look at Saitama. The two had coincidentally come to City M for shopping and unexpectedly encountered this sudden event.

"That person looks a bit familiar."

Saitama looked at the figure ahead, feeling as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"That person is?! The Seventh S-Class Hero, KING! He alone holds the title of the strongest."

Genos's pupils constricted. He also felt a strange sense of familiarity with KING, but more than that, he wanted to witness the strength of this person who was hailed as the strongest.

"Perhaps this time, I can properly witness KING's abilities. Sensei, let's observe the situation from the side for now."

"Okay."

Saitama agreed. After all, when KING defeated the Deep Sea King last time, he hadn't displayed much power.

"My name is G4, a Machine God created by the Organization! You are the S-Class Hero KING, aren't you? I am here to eliminate you!"

G4's cold voice rang out, immediately attracting the attention of the nearby crowd.

"Look, it's KING!"

"That's great, KING is here! How can a mere monster be a threat!"

"Does this ignorant fellow not know KING's title as the Strongest Man on Earth?"

"I bet KING will instantly kill the monster in one move!"

Upon seeing KING's appearance, the surrounding people stopped running and instead watched with excited expressions, anticipating the scene of the monster being instantly killed.

"G4? The Machine God Organization."

Wu Di's expression was one of surprise, as legend had it that the Machine God Organization was somehow connected to the Sixth S-Class Hero, Metal Knight.

"Prepare to die!"

G4 pulled out a giant metal sword from behind him, pointing it directly at Wu Di's face.

Boom, boom, boom! The deafening sound echoed all around, and the crowd erupted again.

"What's that sound?"

"You don't even know the KING Engine?"

"That's the sound Mr. KING makes when he enters combat mode. It's said that no monster has ever heard this sound and survived."

"Just watch, the strength of the Strongest Man on Earth!"

Everyone widened their eyes, afraid of missing the spectacular moment of KING instantly killing the monster.

"Listen carefully, this battle is also to test my combat AI performance. You'd best bring out your full strength so I can collect data."

The single eye on G4's helmet flashed with purple light, and the machinery all over its body began to operate rapidly.

"Testing data? Could it really be related to Metal Knight?"

Metal Knight never appeared in person, always sending robots to fight. This was the case during the Z City meteor incident, and also during the spaceship invasion.

Therefore, it was easy to connect the so-called Organization mentioned by G4 with Metal Knight, but there was no conclusive evidence yet.

"Alright, let's move to another location. This place is too narrow; I can't fight to my full potential here."

Wu Di responded in a deep voice, as he also wanted to test the power of his enhanced talents.

"Alright, I agree! But if you dare to run, I'll kill all the humans in this city!"

Hearing that Wu Di wanted to move their fight elsewhere, the surrounding citizens were a little disappointed.

"I see, KING must be afraid of affecting us."

"Mr. KING is truly great. As the strongest man on Earth, he always thinks of us commoners."

"It's a shame we won't get to see KING instantly kill a monster."

As Wu Di and G4 departed, Genos and Saitama quietly followed them.

"That monster looks very strong."

"Teacher, that's a robot. And it's very powerful, its performance might even be superior to mine. Its disaster level is at least Demon-level, making it very difficult to deal with!"

"Oh! Is that so? Perfect, let's see how KING handles it!"

Saitama's interest was piqued. His intuition told him that KING's strength was definitely not simple.

Boom, boom, boom~ In a vast forest on the outskirts of City M, explosions continuously sounded. G4 swung its giant metal sword, attacking Wu Di ferociously.

"KING, if you don't fight back, then die here like this!"

G4's cold words were spoken. He didn't understand why this man, known as the strongest on Earth, hadn't made an offensive move since the beginning, only defending passively.

"Peak Demon-level strength, this organization is indeed not simple. There must be more than just G4 robots within them."

Wu Di analyzed while blocking G4's attacks.

This time, he intended to test the power of his enhanced talent Aura, so he wasn't rushing to make a move.

"What is KING doing? Why isn't he attacking?"

Saitama, watching from afar, was a bit puzzled. Genos, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

"Teacher, KING's defense is perfect! I think he must be looking for an opportunity for a one-hit kill."
