Chapter 362

"It's you… Does that mean you live here?"

Shuetsu exclaimed in shock.

Qi Yu nodded: "Yeah, what's strange about that?"

Lily saw his stunned expression.

"There's actually someone living in this ghost town?! And he's bald?!"

Qi Yu asked: "By the way, what are you two doing here? Has some weird person shown up?"

The moment he finished speaking.

In the distance.

A massive explosion suddenly erupted, flames shooting into the sky.

Qi Yu looked over, slightly stunned: "Is that Genos?"

"Over there."

Shuetsu immediately rushed toward that direction with Lily.

Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, then followed.

When the three arrived at that street.

A figure plummeted from the sky like a meteor, smashing directly into the dilapidated ground and creating a crater about ten meters in radius.

Genos, his mechanical body shattered, lay within it, utterly battered.

Lily widened her eyes: "That's the S-Class hero 'Devil Cyborg'?!"

"To be beaten this badly—what kind of weird person could that be?! Could his opponent be a Dragon-level disaster?!"

"No, it's not."

Shuetsu looked toward a direction.

Lily followed his gaze.

There, a young man with handsome features and piercing blue eyes landed atop a nearby ruin, arms crossed, his shoulder-length neat black hair gently drifting in the air, spotless.

Lily stared at him, dumbfounded.

"A… human?"

Genos struggled to rise from the ground.

Knowing full well Luo En's strength, he raised both arms, exposing all cannon muzzles on his mechanical limbs, aiming them at the figure ahead, energy converging.

"Burn…"

"Genos."

Qi Yu frowned slightly.

"…CANNON!!"

Genos, eyes glowing with fire, unleashed his full power—a devastating Burning Cannon fired straight at Luo En, obliterating and incinerating everything along its path.

Shuetsu and Lily were utterly stunned.

This was… the power of the S-Class hero, Devil Cyborg!

Yet as Shuetsu was stunned, he gazed at Luo En, standing unmoved atop the ruins, refusing to dodge the attack, and his heart shook even more.

"Is he going to take this hit head-on?!"

Don't be ridiculous.

This level of destruction isn't comparable to the techniques of martial artists like Bang…

Boom!!

After the strike.

Genos stood rooted in place, gasping heavily, steam rising from his entire body.

Directly ahead of him, the entire street had been burned into a straight, wide corridor hundreds of meters long—all buildings along the path vanished.

The ground had turned like molten lava, radiating searing heat, the air warped and blurred.

"!!"

Shuetsu and Lily beside him were completely dazed.

What terrifying destructive power!

"Could anyone possibly survive this…"

Before Shuetsu could finish, he saw a human-shaped figure emerge from the molten region ahead.

"Still alive… Good."

Qi Yu exhaled in relief.

Genos stared at Luo En stepping out from that molten zone—unharmed, untouched—and his eyes flickered with shock.

"Impossible!"

Luo En instantly crossed a hundred meters, appearing abruptly before him.

Genos hadn't even reacted.

A hand pressed down on his shoulder, crushing half his body into the ground.

The young man looked down at him and smiled:

"Impossible? Why?"

15, just in time

Genos now looked up at the young man before him, his mind holding only one thought.

Powerful!

Far more powerful than himself!

Just like Teacher Qi Yu, overwhelmingly unreasonable in strength!

Chu Xue and Lily beside him were completely stunned.

To block that attack head-on without a scratch, and defeat the newly risen S-class hero 'Devil Cyborg' with just one strike?!

Impossible!!

"I remember you're called Luo En, right? You're truly strong."

Qi Yu walked over to the two, bags in hand, regarding Luo En with mild interest.

"Want to fight me?"

Luo En removed his hand from Genos's shoulder and smiled at him: "Better not. Next time."

Qi Yu smiled at him: "Then it's settled."

…

Afterwards.

Qi Yu took Genos, his body badly damaged, back home.

Luo En, Chu Xue, and Lily walked out of the uninhabited area together, then rode in their car back to Z City's central district.

After dropping him off at his residence.

Lily drove with Chu Xue toward F City, and couldn't help asking: "Chu Xue my lord, who exactly is that man?"

"I don't know."

Chu Xue, sitting in the back, propped her chin in her hand, gazing out the window: "I want to know too."

"Chu Xue my lord, should we report this to the Hero Association?"

"No, not yet."

"Understood."

…………

At the Hero Association.

Gold Ball and Spring Beard reported everything they knew, but the Hero Association checked every registered hero and monster, and found no one matching the man Spring Beard described.

Yet the devastation on that street was undeniable.

There truly exists a mysterious powerhouse in Z City unknown to the Hero Association!

Although Chu Xue, Genos, and Qi Yu all knew who it was, none of them reported it to the Hero Association.

Chu Xue did not report because she had made a promise with Luo En.

Genos did not report because he was ashamed after losing to Luo En.

Qi Yu simply didn't remember.
