Chapter 918

~13 min read 2,525 words

"Mr. Sweet Mask, aside from the part caused by the spaceship's bombardment, the rest of the situation at headquarters is because we were supporting Miss Tatsumaki in defeating a powerful enemy, which is why it has become the state you see now————"

The person in charge of the Hero Association Headquarters, seeing the arrival of Sweet Mask, who is both a hero and a Gold Master, hurriedly went up to meet him and gave an explanation of the situation at the scene.

"The Hero Association represents Justice; the Hero Association Headquarters represents the face of the Hero Association. Even if they encountered some powerful enemy, the Association's S-Class Heroes shouldn't let the Association's face drop on the ground. This is an insult to Justice, telling the world that the Justice maintained by the Hero Association is this weak."

Regarding the Association official's explanation, Sweet Mask seemingly did not accept it; he looked at some S

Class Heroes who were in a severely injured and unconscious state, and just said coldly: "Some useless, weak S-Class Heroes should be removed from the S-Class Hero ranks!"

"Sweet Mask, that's enough."

"Zombieman, do you have some dissatisfaction?"

Sweet Mask turned his head to look at Zombieman, who was similarly covered in blood, face somewhat pale, just not unconscious.

"The S-Class Heroes present, although they didn't protect the area near headquarters, at least they fought bravely against the enemy when the powerful enemy attacked.

For those who fought bravely, I think a guy who couldn't even make it to the scene in time has no qualification to accuse them."

"As a hero, weakness is original sin. They can't even beat some enemies without ending up in this miserable state and barely winning; how can they talk about protecting other civilians?

As the main sponsor who donates large sums of money to the Association year-round, I don't hope the heroes I sponsor are a bunch of good-for-nothings who just occupy their positions and eat for free!"

"Mr. Sweet Mask, this time the Association evacuated civilians promptly, and the heroes also fought bravely. Although many buildings around headquarters were destroyed, there were no casualties at most; just some people who accidentally fell and suffered minor scrapes during the evacuation————"

The situation of zero deaths among ordinary civilians other than heroes caused the icy color on Sweet Mask's face to dissolve somewhat.

"Since that's the case, let it go this time. But afterwards, I will propose to the Association to conduct a capability re-examination on the currently active S-Class Heroes. If any are found unqualified, I will unhesitatingly purge those with insufficient ability from the S-Class Hero roster."

Sweet Mask stared at Zombieman and said.

"A capability re-examination, huh? I have no objection to that."

Zombieman, who truly has an undying body, doesn't flinch at all.

"Mr. King, you're sweating a lot. Were you injured in the battle just now?"

The Hero Association's medical nurse suddenly noticed the Strongest Hero next to her breaking out in a cold sweat and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Uh, yeah, just a minor injury————"

Hearing Sweet Mask's words about a capability re-examination, King right now was guilty as hell.

"Hmph!"

Not far away, Tatsumaki let out a cold snort. She had heard Sweet Mask's words just now. Although the useless weaklings Sweet Mask spoke of didn't explicitly name her, there was somewhat a meaning of insinuation.

After all, the Hero Association Headquarters building was wrecked by her. If going by Sweet Mask's logic, then the Hero Association's face was also personally trampled by her.

It's just that Sweet Mask didn't get in her face and output; otherwise, with Tatsumaki's willful personality, she wouldn't care if Sweet Mask was the Hero Association's Gold Master, she would definitely give him a good lesson.

"Lord Sitch, after tallying, there are a total of 124 alien captives temporarily held by the Association."

A staff member responsible for receiving captives ran over at this time to report the situation to Sitch.

"That is?"

Sweet Mask looked at a group of alien crew members with their hands tied, and directly frowned.

"Those are surrendering aliens; the Association is temporarily responsible for supervising them."

Sitch replied.

"Mercy toward evildoers is cruelty toward good people, ordinary people————"

Sweet Mask, with a cold face, walked toward that group of remaining Dark Matter Pirates crew members who had already surrendered.

"Ah, Mr. Sweet Mask, what do you intend to do?"

"Naturally, execute this group of evildoers who trampled the Association's face on the ground and defiled Justice."

Sweet Mask pushed away the Association staff blocking his front, tensed his right hand into a hand knife, and directly dealt a killing blow to the group of surrendering captives.

That waving motion was so clean and neat, obviously this person has no hesitation whatsoever about executing captives. If Broly hadn't flashed over, appeared in front of him, reached out and directly grabbed his wrist, blocking his hand knife, I'm afraid the already surrendered Dark Matter Pirates members would have been beheaded and wiped out by the hand knife.

"Newly promoted S-Class Hero Rank 3, Flashy Flash, I know you. What are you doing?"

"That line should be me asking you. What do you want to do with my crew?"

"My crew?"

"The boss of this spaceship, before he died, gave this spaceship to me. This includes the crew on the ship willing to surrender."

Broly explained the situation concisely, not explaining too many things.

"These guys, as evildoers who attacked the City and Headquarters, you as an S-Class Hero, do you want to be in cahoots with this group of evildoers?"

Sweet Mask tried to pull his hand back, discovered he couldn't budge it, and questioned in a deep voice.

"The guys who attacked the City and Headquarters have mostly been wiped out. This group is the logistics personnel on the spaceship."

"Accomplices who aid a tyrant, same cannot be forgiven. Since these guys chose to associate with evil, they should be eliminated cleanly along with evil by Justice!"

Sweet Mask's body exuded killing intent. A group of Dark Matter Pirates logistics personnel who had just surrendered huddled together, bodies trembling slightly, afraid they would be wiped out the next moment.

"Your thinking is a bit extreme, but I don't really care. Just that I have a question."

"What?"

"If you kill them, who's going to help me fly this ship afterwards?"

"That kind of thing, I don't care about."

"Since that's the case, then your idea of wanting to kill evil accomplices and execute your own view of Justice, I don't care about either.

", Broly let go of Sweet Mask's hand, but Sweet Mask didn't retreat because of his few words. On the contrary, after Broly let go, he directly continued dealing killing blows toward the ship captives behind him.

"Huh?"

Broly let out a light "huh", seemingly surprised by this guy's nerve. He curled his finger, aimed at Sweet Mask's forehead, and flicked.

Sweet Mask only felt a strong sense of crisis arise, subconsciously crossing both hands back to block in front of his forehead.

The next instant, Bang! Sweet Mask's whole person flew out, smashed into the opposite wall that hadn't collapsed yet, becoming a human embedded relief.

"Mr. Broly, you're all Hero Association heroes. If there's something, speak properly. Please don't use force."

Seeing this, Sitch was somewhat nervous, hurriedly came over to dissuade, afraid Broly would continue to use force against Sweet Mask, this sponsor Gold Master.

"I am speaking properly. If he could offer a suitable alternative, I wouldn't mind what he wants to do, but he directly said he doesn't care about anything related to me. What does that person mean? Is he picking a fight with me?"

Broly refuted Sitch.

"Ah, this——"

Sitch was speechless, silently cursing in his heart.

Sweet Mask had strength; perhaps some S-Class Heroes were not his match. He deliberately chose not to advance to S-Class, instead choosing to remain in A-Class.

He acted as the Sword Gatekeeper for any hero wanting to rise to S-Class, but obviously, there were strong and weak among S-Class Heroes.

And the newly promoted S-Class Rank 3, Flashy Flash, belonged to the category of powerful S-Class Heroes like Tatsumaki. Sweet Mask shouldn't have picked a fight with anyone, yet he insisted on picking one with this person.

"You guy——"

Over there, Sweet Mask emerged from the wall, looking over with an angry expression.

It was close; his mask was about to be shattered, exposing his monster identity.

"Rather than persuading me not to act, you should persuade him to be sensible."

Sitch was helpless and could only turn to persuade Sweet Mask, who was in a state of anger.

"Geryuganshoop——"

Broly greeted the alien octopus.

"Broly-sama."

Geryuganshoop hurriedly flew over.

"If that guy over there still wants to act and kill the crew, then you represent these crew members and play properly with him. Let that guy clearly understand that without strength, Jiahao will be beaten and sent flying. However, don't kill him; after all, he counts as a Professional Hero belonging to the same alignment as me in this world."

"Yes, Broly-sama."

Geryuganshoop bowed and accepted. Sitch couldn't stop the angry Sweet Mask, and as a result, the Sweet Mask who rushed up was harshly taught a lesson by Geryuganshoop.

Although this alien octopus's title of Universe's Number One Telekinesis Master had some water in it, he still had strength. At least, Sweet Mask, who didn't want to expose his monster identity, couldn't try to scam him.

Sweet Mask, trampled by Geryuganshoop's telekinesis and smashed into the ruins again, only felt a surge of humiliation in his heart.

But to therefore release his ugly monster posture and fight the other party with all his strength was really too absurd.

Not to mention Sweet Mask couldn't get past his psychological shadow of extreme disgust for ugliness; even if he could overcome this psychological shadow, he would absolutely not do such a stupid thing of exposing his monster identity.

Therefore, after discovering he simply couldn't defeat Geryuganshoop, Sweet Mask quickly gave up the idea of continuing to fight and continuing to deal fatal blows to those alien captives.

"Mr. Sweet Mask, are you alright, pu——"

The two medical staff who came to check on him asked while asking, and one of them laughed out loud.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Although he soon restrained himself, Sweet Mask still heard it and directly looked over.

"No, I didn't laugh."

The medical staff member being looked at indeed didn't laugh anymore, but the other medical staff member beside him laughed.

However, when Sweet Mask turned his head to look over, this person hurriedly covered his mouth and also tightened his face.

But the twitching at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and his gradually reddening face, betrayed him; the fact that he was finding it very hard to hold back his laughter.

But this wasn't his fault. After all, when Sweet Mask appeared just now, he spoke all sorts of high-sounding, righteous words in a deafening manner.

As a result, now, just now an enemy who wasn't even the strongest beat him to the point of having no power to fight back, just like a dead dog smashed into the ruins.

This kind of pretending to be the biggest and getting slapped the hardest; even for them, who had received professional training, it was really hard to hold back.

"Laugh if you want to laugh——"

Sweet Mask clenched his fist, also somewhat helpless, sighed, and said to the two medical staff.

"Hahaha——"

The two medical staff made eye contact, then immediately slapped their thighs and laughed loudly.

【Nani, you two are actually laughing?!】

Sweet Mask widened his eyes, looking quite astonished at the two people who were truly laughing.

o

At the same time, a metal cabin suddenly fell from the sky.

The metal cabin door opened, and a machine person walked out from inside.

After coming out, the other party's electronic eyes locked onto the spaceship staying in the ruins.

However, when the machine person approached the spaceship, he was intercepted by Geryuganshoop.

"Is this an enemy that hasn't been solved yet?"

The manipulator behind the machine person, Metal Knight, wanted to act.

As expected, the machine person he manipulated had his mechanical limbs twisted off by Geryuganshoop.

Seeing this scene, the Hero Association people hurriedly came over to mediate.

After communication, Geryuganshoop learned that this guy wanted to study his own powered spaceship.

"This spaceship now belongs to Broly-sama. If you want to study it, you must obtain Broly-sama's consent."

Geryuganshoop did not make the decision on his own, but directly explained to Metal Knight and the Hero Association staff who exactly could make the decision regarding this powered spaceship now.

"You want to study this spaceship?"

"Yes, Flashy Flash."

"What effect will this kind of study have on the spaceship?"

"It might be necessary to dismantle the spaceship."

"If dismantled, can it be restored?"

"No guarantee."

"In that case, I might not be able to agree to you."

"Why?"

"This spaceship is still useful to me, I need it to be able to be used normally."

Broly directly refused Metal Knight's request to research the spaceship's power source.

"Mr. Sitch, this spaceship, I'm going to pilot it back to B-City later."

"Ah, this, the Association's side needs to discuss it."

"Need to discuss? No, you might have misunderstood something, I'm just informing the Association of what I'm going to do, not seeking the Association's permission to do this."

"But, Mr. Broly, this spaceship should belong to the category of spoils of war."

"Hmm, however, the Hero Association doesn't seem to have any justification for confiscating heroes' spoils of war, right?"

"Indeed, but other heroes, after all, also participated in this operation."

"You're right, so, Saitama, what do you say?"

Broly nodded in agreement with Sitch's words, then asked Saitama beside him.

【, how could I say?】

"I feel that it's still better to respect the deceased's will, however, if you accept the spaceship, it's best to settle the property damage caused to the city by this spaceship."

"Hmm, Mr. Sitch, Saitama said this, you can calculate the property damage caused by the spaceship, afterwards I will bear a portion of the loss and pay compensation."

"Uh, Mr. Broly, why did you only ask him, aren't there other participating heroes?"

"The other participating heroes' influence on the battle situation was almost negligible, only Saitama who solved the enemy boss had the greatest contribution, so I only asked Saitama's opinion.

Of course, if Tatsumaki has an opinion, I would listen too, as for other people's thoughts, they don't even have the necessity to be spoken."

Sitch opened his mouth, Broly's this kind of attitude appeared polite but was actually arrogant, but he couldn't say any words of rebuttal.

After Boros appeared, instantly killing a group of S-Class Heroes is a fact, although don't know how the C-Class Hero named Saitama beside him actually defeated that monster, but the person who decided the battle's win/loss, saying it's him isn't wrong either.
