Chapter 394

And stronger, longer, and sharper than the previous sword strike.

With this sword slash, the entire sky was forged into a fiery red hue.

After the sword strike, the giant body of the Centipede Elder was severed in half, countless sword qi blooming across its hardened flesh, reducing it directly to nothingness.

A crimson crack, thousands of meters long, remained in the sky above the No-Man's Land, slicing through the evening clouds.

As if splitting the sky in two.

Everyone in City Z stared at this scene, frozen in shock.

Hero Headquarters.

Everyone watching the screen was likewise stunned, unable to believe it.

"One strike, and that Centipede Elder was…"

The middle-aged officer broke into a cold sweat.

"What exists above the No-Man's Land…"

Beneath the No-Man's Land—no, now it should be called the surface.

The entire Monster Association was fully exposed to sunlight as the ground above the No-Man's Land rose into the air.

"The Centipede Elder has been killed—who did it?"

Sykes's psychic energy spread upward.

She had a premonition.

Whether lifting the entire No-Man's Land surface or killing the Centipede Elder, it must have been one person.

And the only person she could think of capable of such a feat was one.

The strongest psychic, Tornado!

But when her psychic energy reached the heavens.

She discovered.

That person was not Tornado.

But a boy.

The silver-haired boy stood calmly on the horizon, his inhuman heterochromatic vertical pupils gazing down with majestic, divine authority like a young god.

As if sensing Sykes's psychic energy.

He smiled faintly at Sykes, who was spying on him.

"Bold of you."

Sykes suddenly felt a bone-chilling fear.

Without thinking, she immediately retracted her psychic energy.

But it was too late.

An unimaginably terrifying aura erupted from the silver-haired boy.

Heaven and earth changed color.

Sykes's psychic energy shattered instantly; her physical psychic form was violently shaken, her consciousness blurring for an instant.

Within the pit below.

Countless Monster Association members were stunned unconscious by that aura, falling in rows one after another.

The Monster King Wang Dashe, caught in the wave of Conqueror's Haki, was utterly enraged.

"How dare you provoke us? Die!"

He too unleashed an unmatched aura.

The two powerful auras collided, sparking crackling crimson light in the air, howling winds, flying rocks and dust.

Aside from the Dragon-class monsters, all others writhed in agony, unable to endure the clash of these two auras—their minds on the verge of tearing apart.

Sykes regained consciousness, her face pale, yet still commanded the Dragon-class monsters through her Big Eye.

"Our presence has been exposed now—accelerate the plan! Begin operations immediately!"

"Rampage! Make the entire world tremble because of the Monster Association!"

"Has the day finally come?"

"I can't wait to slaughter every last hero."

"Kill kill kill!"

"Gurgle."

Dragon-class monsters: Pochi, Natural Water, Black Sperm, Wandering Emperor, Gums, Ugly President, Hero, Wind of the Gale, Flame of the Inferno, Phoenix Boy—all appeared!

This scene was also captured by the Hero Association's surveillance.

The Hero Association officers stared at these monsters, pale with horror.

"Monsters—there are so many!"

"Is the underground of the No-Man's Land a monster nest?"

"Incredible!"

"Where are the heroes? Have the heroes arrived?"

44, descending from the sky

The Dragon-class monsters stood at the center of the massive pit, gazing upward at the floating land above.

"That's quite impressive—who did this?"

"Huh, some heroes aren't so bad after all."

"Where is the one who killed the Centipede Elder?"

Genos stood at the edge of the floating No-Man's Land street, gazing down, utterly stunned.

"What exactly is going on here?"

"I'll go up and check."

The Phoenix Man flapped his wings and flew toward the sky.

Genos saw him, his eyes turning cold.

"A monster? Did this monster do this?"

He was about to act when he suddenly sensed movement above.

He turned his head to look.

A colossal ice spear, towering like a Shanfeng, descended from the sky.

It crashed straight toward the bird-like monster.

The Phoenix Man gasped in surprise and swiftly flapped his wings to dodge.

"Interesting!"

The hero let out a wild laugh, stomped his foot to shatter the ground, and shot upward like a missile, punching the giant ice spear with full force—piercing through it and shattering the entire iceberg into fragments.

Genos widened his eyes, stunned.

"Another monster—and a strong one!"

Huge chunks of ice fell like small meteorites, thudding into the crater below.

Didi didi.

Genos opened his communicator.

Inside, an Hero Association officer looked frantic: "Genos-kun, where are you right now? Something terrible has happened—hundreds of monsters have appeared beneath the No-Man's Land; it seems to be their nest."

"I'm right here."

Genos glanced downward and said.

"Really? That's great. Stay put for now—don't act rashly. Other S-Class heroes are already heading your way."

The officer hung up abruptly.

Genos looked down, his mechanical eye contracting and expanding to capture the scene within the crater.

"One, two, three, four... plus the flying one—that's ten monsters altogether. I never expected so many monsters beneath my teacher's house."

He clenched his fist.

I wonder how many I can handle.

I'll wait here for the other S-Class heroes to arrive.

By the way, I should inform my teacher first.

Genos ran toward Kiyoshi's house.
