Chapter 940

"Enemies are coming, and they're fast. Prepare for battle."

Broly spoke up to remind them, and before his voice had even faded, two figures clad in ninja attire stopped at the fork ahead, blocking their way back.

"The 44th Termination—no, Pochi, why are you on the invaders' side, and being ridden by an invader?"

Blaze Flare had only wanted to speak to Flashy Flash, but his gaze fell on the sizable Pochi behind him, causing what he wanted to say to go completely off track.

"Woof~"

And responding to him was Pochi's bark: 【My new owner gives me lots of tasty food, unlike you Monster Association folks who only give me raw bones, so now I'm my new owner's dog!】

Of course, the two Ninja Dragon-level monsters couldn't understand dog language, but they could tell from Pochi's attitude that he wasn't on their side.

"Damn, beasts really aren't trustworthy, suddenly betraying to the enemy's side for no reason at all."

Blaze and Swiftwind were both confident in their own strength, but in such a narrow underground passage, encountering a big dog like Pochi who could unleash super-terrifying scorching heat bombs gave them both quite a headache, let alone the fact that there were three S-Class Heroes on the opposite side.

"Our target is only Flashy Flash. If you don't obstruct us, we won't stop you from passing."

Blaze and Swiftwind glanced at each other and made their decision, with Swiftwind speaking directly to the people opposite.

"Mr. Shiroli—"

"

Child Emperor first summoned the mechanical dog he had created, then placed his hope of quickly resolving the intercepting enemies on Broly.

"My Ki Sense actually consumes a lot of physical strength. Keeping it open all the way here, I currently have almost no combat strength left, so dealing with the intercepting enemies can only rely on the two of you."

"Huh, really?"

Hearing this, Child Emperor and Fless both looked back in surprise, while Broly manipulated his Qi, making his face turn pale instantly as he sat on the big black dog, with cold sweat beading on his forehead, as if he were about to collapse from exhaustion.

"As expected, even if you have some powerful means, using them requires paying a price."

Fless decisively believed it.

"Woo~"

Pochi tilted his dog head in confusion. The new owner's aura on his back seemed to have weakened considerably all at once, but the feeling of danger that made him vaguely uneasy on the other person showed no sign of diminishing.

"Sigh, fortunately, there's still me and you here. Just right, two versus two."

Child Emperor also sighed, then said to Fless.

"We probably don't have much time. Within my Ki Sense, there are many individuals of varying strengths underground, rushing toward us."

Broly added a reminder, heightening the atmosphere of crisis.

"You take the ones you need to protect and leave first. These two guys' target is me."

After hearing this, Fless said directly.

"Ah, how can that be?"

"The enemy's reinforcements are rushing over. If you stay here to fight together, you'll easily be surrounded by the enemy. And I'm not too reassured about the beast under Flashy Flash either. Rather than this, you'd better leave first, and I'll stay alone to deal with them."

"Rest assured. With my speed, even if I'm alone, even if I'm not a match for those two guys opposite, I can still escape on my own."

"Since that's the case, then, Mr. Broly, let's go. Mr. Fless, you must come out alive!"

Flashy Flash had put it that way, so Child Emperor didn't insist further. Blaze and Swiftwind yielded their positions, and as Child Emperor led the hostage boy away, and Broly rode Pochi past, neither of them attacked.

Broly glanced back at Flashy Flash, and several black shadow ninjas slipped into Blaze and Swiftwind's shadows.

The experience of the hero staying behind to cover for his companions should be given, but if Flashy Flash were killed, reviving him would be rather troublesome.

He instead gave the shadow ninjas an order: if Flashy Flash couldn't hold out, they should emerge from the shadows and directly take out those two ninja monsters.

"Bold of you. I didn't expect you'd actually dare to stay behind alone."

"You two are also ninjas from the Ninja Village, right?"

"That's right. We were interrupted just now. Now let me reintroduce ourselves. We are the top two ninjas of the 37th Termination, the 44th Termination."

"So, the reason you're targeting me—is it to get revenge for the Ninja Village I destroyed?"

"Revenge? No, we don't have deep feelings for the Ninja Village."

"We're targeting you because the bounty on your head is very high."

"Do monsters need money too?"

"Besides money, there's another reason we're targeting you."

"What reason?"

"You, who destroyed the Ninja Village, made us graduates of the Ninja Village feel humiliated."

"Huh?"

"

"After all, we merely graduated, while you, this guy, destroyed it. Doesn't that prove from the side that you, this ninja junior, are actually stronger than us two ninja seniors?"

", just for this kind of reason, you're targeting me?"

"Not enough? As long as we kill you, we can prove we're still above you. You being able to destroy the Ninja Village is just because we two didn't have the idea of destroying the Ninja Village."

"Still not enough? As Long As I kill you, I can Prove we are still above you; you could destroy the Ninja Village only because the two of us didn't Produce the thought of destroying the Ninja Village."

"I see. Then, have you all prepared the Awareness to be killed by me?"

"Arrogant!"

The three ninjas moved at the same time, extremely fast, their figures almost becoming a single line, fighting fiercely in the not-so-wide underground passage.

The three Shinobi moved At The Same Time, speed Very Fast, figures almost Transforming into One Strip, engaging in fierce Battle Power within the not Wide enough Proper Place.

"Enemies are coming again."

Child Emperor, who was escorting the hostage to escape from the Monster Association, suddenly heard Broly say this, subconsciously paused his steps, and in the next instant, some monsters jumped out from the ant-nest-like underground passage entrance ahead.

Leading them was a guy wearing a Dull Bird mascot costume, but he and the monsters beside him both showed expressions of surprise similar to the previous two ninja monsters after seeing Pochi's presence.

"Phoenix Man, Lord Pochi seems to have betrayed and is mixing with the enemy. What should we do?"

"Phoenix Man, Lord Pochi seems to have betrayed us and mixed with the Enemy, what do we do?"

The monsters blocked the way, but for a moment none dared launch an attack; just how ferocious that big black dog was, only the monsters who had fed it knew — if Pochi got hungry, he might even eat the monster feeding him along with the food.

【You ask me, who do I ask?!】

Phoenix Man really wanted to say that.

"We'll hold them off for now, wait for the other Dragon-level Executives to arrive and reinforce us."

Phoenix Man said with some helplessness.

"No, how are we supposed to hold them off? If Lord Pochi just aims a single Incineration Cannon at us, or even just charges over and bites us, we'll all get eaten, won't we?!"

Phoenix Man opened his mouth, not knowing what to say; for them, who weren't Dragon-level monsters, trying to block the Dragon-level disaster Pochi was undoubtedly courting death.

However, before Phoenix Man could hesitate over whether to take his men and withdraw first, Broly and the others on the opposite side made their move.

"Mr. Broly, you take the hostage and ride the dog out first; I'll cover you."

The anticipated Incineration Cannon attack didn't come; instead, a few Dog-Dog Rockets were fired.

Bang bang bang, they blew a path through the crowd of blocking monsters.

Immediately after, Pochi's massive figure, dragging Broly and the kidnapped boy, rushed through.

And in this process, most of the monsters made instinctive evasive reactions.

Broly quickly disappeared from the sight of the many monsters, riding the dog with the hostage boy.

"Peh, what a damn fool, actually throwing his life away to block Lord Pochi."

The scattered monsters climbed up, looking at one monster that had already been trampled into a meat patty, and spat on the corpse.

【A guy with a dull brain, even if he became a monster, he's still cannon fodder fate.】

This thought had just surfaced when a rocket fist also slammed onto this monster's head, smashing its skull to pieces on the spot.

Child Emperor had assembled his self-made Gundam Mecha at some unknown time, and was now punching the monsters whose formation had been scattered, one fist per monster.

【No wait, Lord Pochi's already left, you're not leaving, but staying behind to attack us?!】

"Brothers, let's join forces and kill this bastard!"

With Pochi gone, this group of monsters found the courage to attack, swarming toward Child Emperor who was already inside the assembled mecha, unleashing all kinds of bizarre monster attacks.

Another hero went to experience the task of covering the rear for companions; Broly routinely ordered some Shadow Ninjas to act as safety officers to help watch, then patted the Pochi beneath him.

"Woof?"

Pochi voiced his confusion.

"Speed it up, I need to go out and find other heroes to come reinforce."

Rescuing a rear-guard hero trapped deep in enemy territory facing a desperate situation — this is a time-limited quest.

If we go out late, Fless and Child Emperor won't hold out —

Who knows, those monsters besieging the two of them might get killed by my Shadow Ninjas instead.

Of course, going out myself would be faster, but there's still a person in my arms.

If I just *pop* and left in an instant, would the other party still have the experience of being a rescued hostage?

"You're called Pochi, right? After we get out, I'll give you even more tasty treats."

. 888

Of course, to make a dog work, you have to feed the dog well; Broly isn't a stingy person either.

"Woof!"

Pochi seemed to understand, raised his dog head to look at the winding underground passage ahead, and opened his big mouth.

At the surface of the center of Z City Ghost District, the ground suddenly flushed red; the next instant, with a boom, a large Incineration Cannon shot skyward, and a huge hole about seven or eight meters in diameter leading straight to the underground appeared on the spot, its edges presenting a magma-like state.

Little Waganma, held in Broly's arms and riding on Pochi, looked at the hollow through which the outside sky could be seen, and was somewhat dumbfounded.

And after doing all this, Pochi huffed out the hot air from firing the Incineration Cannon, then scrambled up the passage leading to the surface.

The hollow blasted out, it darted and jumped out from inside like a big black rat, its four limbs like the most stable shock-absorbing springs landing steadily and dissipating force, surprisingly not letting little Waganma on its back feel too much impact.

"Run that way."

Broly pointed toward the Hero Association's Frontline Command Center; Pochi woofed once, then carried the two through the somewhat complex ruined city environment at high speed, his speed very fast — in less than a minute, he crossed most of the Ghost District.

"There are people up there, Miss Tatsumaki, please don't attack."

The commotion Pochi made coming out was detected immediately; even its running trajectory was tracked by high-altitude reconnaissance planes. On the Frontline Command Center side, Tatsumaki had already floated up, ready for combat, but as Pochi approached, she was stopped by a voice.

"Don't need you to tell me, I saw it too."

Pochi stopped his steps, but inertia made him plow a smoking gully on the ground; little Waganma felt like he was about to be thrown off, but Broly's palm braced his body, letting him still sit steadily on the dog's back.

"The hostage rescue operation should be a success, but Broly, why did you come riding such a big guy?"

Tatsumaki floated down, looking at Pochi, her eyes holding some curiosity.

"It's called Pochi, it's the Monster Association's Watchdog; I used some meat bones to win it over, and thanks to it, I was able to bring Waganma out from the underground Monster Association this fast."

"Mr. Broly, what about Child Emperor and Fless, who infiltrated the Monster Association Headquarters with you to execute the rescue mission?"

While the surrounding S-Class Heroes were curiously sizing up this big dog, someone walked over and directly asked about the other two's situation.

"During the process of rescuing the hostage and breaking free, our tracks were exposed by a machine; the Monster Association discovered us intruders, dispatched large numbers of monsters to surround and intercept. Fless and Child Emperor, to cover me bringing the hostage back to the surface, voluntarily stayed behind to hold the rear, fighting the pursuing monsters —"

Broly spoke like this, and an anxious look appeared on his face.

"Everyone, hurry and go reinforce them; the pursuing monsters have very strong auras, I'm afraid if we're late those two will be in danger."

Broly's acting could be called superb; expression and tone were both spot on, making the many S-Class Heroes' faces turn solemn.

"Right, they're underground, right? Then I'll go reinforce now."

Tatsumaki moved first, flying toward the hole Pochi blasted open.

"Wait for me, I'm going too."

Metal Bat hurriedly followed; Zombieman and Pig God followed close behind.

"Broly, are those monsters inside the Monster Association existences that even you find thorny?"

Bang wasn't in a rush, merely furrowing his brow deeply as he inquired about the strength of the Monster Association's monsters.

"If it were me at my peak, those monsters would be nothing to me, but maintaining Ki Sense consumed too much of my stamina; right now, for a short time, I am powerless to join the support battle as a main combatant."

Broly spoke with a straight face.

"Saitama-sensei, what's wrong? Aren't we going down to support?"

Saitama originally intended to go support together, but upon hearing Broly's reply to Bang, he directly stopped in his tracks.

"Genos, you go ahead; I have something to ask Broly."

Saitama waved his hand.

"Alright then, Saitama-sensei, I'll head off to support first."

Genos didn't hesitate, catching up to the main force that had already gone to support.

"You all should take the hostages and withdraw too; the Z City Ghost District ahead is about to become a battlefield, and for you ordinary people to stay here is truly too dangerous."

After handing over the hostages, Broly said to the Hero Association's non-hero personnel.

"Broly, does your Ki Sense really consume that much stamina?"

Saitama then asked him with some curiosity after the people left.

"Haha, how could that be possible."

"Uh, but then why didn't you directly solve the enemies, instead letting that genius elementary student, and that hair clip man stay underground to cover the rear for you?

"

"This is of course to give them an opportunity to perform; otherwise, if I alone solve all the problems, wouldn't everyone else just be along for the ride?"

Broly directly told Saitama that set of rhetoric about leaving some sense of participation experience for those heroes.

"Old man said, when you just wanted to go support, we were all thinking about how to stop you."

", why?"

"Very simple; if your power level goes to support, what business do the rest have? Can others still have the experience of participating in rescuing heroes who have fallen into desperate straits?"

Saitama: "————"

And at this moment, underground, Flashy Flash had already taken the lead in solving his two opponents, while the Phoenix Man battling Child Emperor, relying on his monster ability, was reborn a second time, truly evolving into the posture of a Dragon-level Monster.
