Kેવire looked at [Autumn], then turned to look at the hellish environment around him.

Among the mountains of corpses, there were even a few people whose bodies were so badly decayed that they were barely recognizable as humans, yet they were still breathing faintly.

Beneath the Battle Armor, the weak face remained unchanged, but the hands were already clenched so tightly they were making a squeaking sound.

"I will represent justice and protect the city!"

He shouted his prepared lines, and countless missiles bombarded [Autumn].

A large number of black insects enveloped [Autumn], and the missiles were completely corroded before they could even pass through them.

But then a powerful beam of light shot out from Kેવire's hands.

[Autumn]'s expression changed slightly, and she stepped aside.

With all his thrusters activated, Kેવire closed the distance between himself and [Autumn] at an extremely fast speed, and threw a punch.

[Autumn] raised her sickle, easily parried the attack, and reached out to grab the opponent.

But Kેવire distanced himself again and began to provide cover fire, while inwardly praying that the [Godslaying] Squad would arrive soon.

"Puff..."

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted from his mouth, spraying inside the [ Battle Armor ].

"What happened? How did the illness suddenly become so much worse?!"

His body began to feel weak, and even the recoil from the shells fired by the [ Battle Armor ] caused Kેવire extreme pain.

[Autumn] stepped on the black insects, constantly dodging Kેવire's attacks. Noticing the opponent's abnormality, [Autumn] did not hesitate to throw out the scythe in her hand.

"Energy shield, activate..."

A light blue protective shield enveloped it, and the sharp scythe made a crisp sound as it struck the shield.

The barrier flickered slightly, and countless black insects seized the opportunity to surge forward, enveloping Kેવire along with the protective shield.

The protective shield began to flicker under the onslaught of the black insects. Kેવire gritted his teeth, and bursts of white light emanated from his chest.

Boom--!

The violent explosion sent the black bug flying. He knelt on one knee, spitting blood into his Battle Armor.

Blood quickly soaked his entire body through his Battle Armor.

"Now we should be able to run, right...?"

Go, [ Armored Warrior ]!

Just then, several calls came from not far away. Kેવire's pupils contracted, and he turned to look at the source of the sound.

He saw several people sticking their heads out of the windows of a nearby building, shouting at him.

"Those who haven't had a chance to run yet? Run now! What are you doing attracting attention?!"

[Autumn] gave a strange smile, reached out his hand towards that spot, and gripped it tightly.

The surging black insects rushed towards the building like a fog.

With a determined look, Kેવire flew to the front of the building, stretched out his hands, and unleashed a powerful beam of light to block the black insects.

"Run!"

His voice came through the [ Battle Armor ]'s speakers and filled the entire building. The people inside quickly nodded gratefully and ran downstairs.

"Oh... because it's a live stream, you have to maintain your heroic image, right...?"

[Autumn] A half-dead voice came close to his ear, and Kેવire was jolted, quickly throwing a punch to the side.

[Autumn] leaned back slightly, brushing past the fist, and swung the scythe in his hand, striking at the head of the person opposite him.

Pfft!

" The Battle Armor's facial structure is severely damaged!"

Fragments of Battle Armor and skin, mixed with blood, splattered out.

Two rows of teeth stained red with blood, and half of his face exposed to the air.

Kેવire fired a shot, forcing the enemy to retreat.

"Heh... you look even scarier than me now..."

Kેવire clutched half his face in pain, spraying milky white mist from his palm to cover the damaged skin.

"Okay, you can run away now."

A completely emotionless female voice came through the [ Battle Armor ]'s communication device to Kેવire's ears.

But he felt no joy whatsoever.

Kેવire weakly looked at [Autumn], who looked like a god of death, and then turned to look at the residents who had not yet completely evacuated.

The half of the Battle Armor's face smiled slightly.

The next moment, both the woman who gave him the order and Diyana on the screen were stunned.

Kેવire flew through the air, spreading his arms to protect the buildings behind him.

"I, [ Armored Warrior ], will protect this world, protect everyone's world!!"

[Autumn] gave a mocking laugh, and countless black insects swarmed towards the other side.

Kેવire unleashed all the shells in his body, blasting them at the black worm in front of him, forcibly stopping it.

[Autumn] Wusheng appeared in front of him and slashed his palm with a knife, destroying the energy cannon on his palm.

"What's wrong... Mingming's about to die, but he still insists on playing the hero..."

You don't actually think you're a hero, do you...?

[Autumn] mocked, thrusting a scythe toward Kેવire's head, but Kેવire reached out and grabbed it.

"Ah!!!"

With a roar, Kેવire punched his opponent in the face, sending him flying dozens of meters.

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, but Kેવire didn't catch his breath at all, unleashing his full power to catch up with [Autumn] who was flying backward.

[Autumn]'s face, covered in stitches, showed a hint of surprise. "Hehe, you really look like a hero...!"

[Autumn] gripped the sickle tightly and kept slashing at Kેવire.

With his energy blasts damaged and his missiles exhausted, Kેવire could only fight back with his fists.

"Warning! Warning! The mech pilot's Life is in danger. Please disengage from combat immediately!"

"Warning! Warning..."

The alarm blared incessantly in Kેવire's ears, but his fists continued to pound on [Autumn] in front of him.

Because he knew that if he didn't stop [Autumn], more innocent people would die!

"Mr. Kેવire, one last question: why do you want to join Godslaying Technology Company?"

"Because... I want to become a hero who saves the world!!"

Memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave, prompting even Kેવire to ask questions.

'Yes, when did that boy who only wanted to be a hero and protect the world die...?'

It was indulgence after experiencing the power of money...

Is this still a time when one is so concerned with reputation that they disregard the lives of others?

He didn't know these things, but...

He wanted to be a hero!

Pfft!

The rusty scythe was plunged into Kેવire's abdomen, then kicked back to the ground.

boom!

He crashed heavily to the ground, the dust he kicked up dissipating like his Life.

Kેવire struggled to his feet, but then collapsed to his knees.

"[ Battle Armor ] is severely damaged, with only 10% energy remaining!"

The driver's Life is in critical condition. Immediate treatment is needed! Refrigerant is being used to stabilize the vehicle!

"Heh, treatment... I'm starting to lose consciousness, I'm afraid I'm about to die..."

Kેવire struggled to lift his head, but after seeing the figure standing in front of him looking down at him, he lowered his head again as if relieved.

[Autumn] chuckled softly and then ignored him.

In a daze, Kેવire suddenly saw the teddy bear that he had been hanging on his waist fall in front of him.

His pupils contracted sharply.

Andy will protect every good person from being bullied by bad people. I'm giving this to his brother now!

Just as [Autumn] was about to leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed. He turned his head and saw that Kેવire had actually stood up!

"Ah--!!!"

A surge of power, from who-knows-where, welled up in Kેવire's heart.

With a clenched fist, he slammed it into [Autumn]'s head, startling her.

"What's going on? He should be dying by now! How can he still have so much power?!"
