Looking at the prompt that popped up on the system panel, Lin Mo sighed once again at how unreasonable Saitama's strength was.

"Hey..." Lin Mo called out to Qi Yu, "Thank you this time, I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

"Well... this guy isn't that strong, no need to be so polite."

Saitama waved his hand, turned and left the neighborhood, "It's just a pity about my roasted sweet potato..."

Watching Saitama's departing figure, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little envious. He wished he had such invincible strength...

Lin Mo did not leave with Saitama, but stood still.

Wait... what was I originally supposed to do...?

No, wait! My limited edition figurine!

Today is the release day!

Lin Mo instantly unleashed his immense power and rushed towards the anime city.

Chapter 34 G1 Arrives

Wolves, tigers, demons, dragons, and god-level monsters that have never appeared before—these are the levels of monster strength that the Hero Association has categorized since its establishment.

"Wolves" - the appearance of organisms or groups that may be dangerous factors.

"Tiger" - a crisis that could endanger an unspecified number of lives.

"Ghosts"—a crisis that could cause a city to cease functioning or even be destroyed.

"Dragon" - a crisis that could lead to the destruction of several cities.

"God"—a crisis that could lead to the extinction of humanity.

This power classification is very general, which often leads to discrepancies in the disaster levels given by the Hero Association.

One reason is that some monsters have the ability to mimic others, or some monsters hide their true strength.

The thin bean sprout clearly belongs to the second type of weirdo.

As Lin Mo left the battlefield, the three smiling men quickly woke up.

"The three of us almost died... Your disaster level is set way too low!" she complained to the association contact person with a smile.

"How could this power possibly be at the 'wolf' level? That bean sprout's power has definitely reached the 'dragon' level!"

The smiling man spoke confidently into his phone.

“We understand how you feel, smiling man. But assessing the level of a disaster requires solid evidence.”

The voice on the phone was calm and rigid; it was the voice of the association's operations manager.

"If, as the Smiling Man says, the Bean Sprout is a 'Dragon' level monster, then who defeated them?"

The smiling man recalled the "drumming sound" he heard before losing consciousness. The sound seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

"I...I don't know..."

The smiling man's voice lowered, tinged with confusion.

"I only remember hearing a 'thump-thump' sound like drumming before I lost consciousness."

"When we woke up, the powerful bean sprout was already lying on the ground, completely lifeless."

The Hero Association won't accept this.

"The skinny bean sprout was already defeated while you were unconscious? If it were that easy to defeat a 'Dragon' level monster, the nameless hero who defeated him would be the real big deal."

He paused for a moment, then said, "He will shatter the power structure of the hero world."

"If there are extremely powerful beings among these monsters that have been defeated by unknown people, then the data collected by the Hero Association is unreliable."

"Public trust in us will collapse, and the balance of the Hero Association will crumble. We cannot shake the foundation of the entire system based on an unverified speculation."

The supervisor made the final decision:

“Listen, I will personally handle the report on this incident. I can upgrade its disaster level from ‘Wolf’ to ‘Tiger’. This is the biggest concession I can make.”

The smiling man stood silently for a long time before speaking:

"I understand……"

In any case, he didn't have any solid evidence to prove it, since the bean sprouts were already lying on the ground.

Z City Animation City.

This place is practically a mecca for anime and manga culture, a paradise for all ACG enthusiasts, where the air is filled with excitement and youthful energy.

Cosplayers dressed up in elaborate costumes can be seen everywhere. Some are dressed as dragon slayers wielding giant swords, while others are dressed as elven mages chanting spells. They all seem to have stepped out of the virtual fantasy world and into reality.

This broadened the horizons of Lin Mo, who was also a seasoned otaku, and even gave him the urge to "collect" photos with it.

But then he thought better of it. After all, he's now the King, and he'd probably be surrounded by people as soon as he took off his mask.

Wow...look at that person...they're so tall..."

"Is she a cosplayer? Her aura is so strong! Just standing there makes me feel breathless..."

"Look at his eyes...it's scary...should we go up and ask if we can take a picture together? I'm a little scared..."

At this moment, Lin Mo—a burly figure over 1.85 meters tall—could not hide his imposing presence even under his oversized hoodie.

Especially his sharp eyes, revealing three horrifying scars that occasionally peek out from under his hat brim, made him stand out from the group of generally thin, sophisticated nerds.

Although [Intimidation (Dragon Level)] is an active skill, it subtly influenced Lin Mo's aura, making him appear more imposing.

Lin Mo himself was completely unaware of this; all his attention was focused on the target located in the most conspicuous position on the first floor of the anime mall—the official flagship store of "Mech Girls: Final Frontline".

Through the huge glass display case, he could clearly see that the "Lilith Final Battle Form" figure, one of only 500 in the world, was still quietly displayed on the shelf, seemingly waiting for its destined owner.

Lilith, I'm here!

He quickened his pace, weaving through the crowd, and just as he was about to reach the small shop—

"boom--!!!"

The glass exterior wall on the second floor of the animation mall shattered without warning!

A huge, metallic silver figure fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the center of the first-floor lobby, stirring up clouds of dust and screams from countless tourists.

"Beep beep, target detected!"

"Beep beep, target confirmed!"

Amidst the thick dust, a standard, cold, electronically synthesized voice rang out.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the robot's figure came into Lin Mo's view—

It was a giant robot over three meters tall. Its body seemed to be made of liquid metal, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the terrified faces of the people around it.

Its head is a simple inverted triangle with only one huge eye in the center that emits an ominous red light.

At this moment, the single eye, like a radar, slowly scanned the chaotic scene.

The giant robot pulled out an exaggeratedly shaped giant sword from behind its back, the blade gleaming with a chilling light under the lamplight.

It pointed its heavy sword tip forward, and finally, its blood-red single eye locked onto Lin Mo with unerring accuracy.

"I am the ultimate combat weapon created by the 'Organization', codenamed G1."

The cold, electronic voice echoed in the hall, every word crystal clear.

"Based on the database comparison, you are the strongest hero on Earth—KING, right!?"

The shockwave had knocked Lin Mo's baseball cap off, revealing his signature long blond hair and three horrifying scars.

Knowing that there was no point in pretending anymore, Lin Mo simply took off his mask and stared intently at the robot in front of him.

"Wow! Look, it's KING! It's S-rank KING!"

A cosplayer wearing a red wig jumped up excitedly, dropping the prop sword in her hand to the ground.

"Great! We're saved!" The blue-haired boy next to him cried tears of joy, clasped his hands together, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

"Go, King! Turn this tin can into scrap metal!"

"KING! KING! KING!"

The surrounding crowd stopped running and shouted excitedly. In their view, as long as KING was there, all the crises would be resolved.

Hey... you make it sound so easy... if you're so capable, why don't you do it yourselves...

Lin Mo almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his legs trembled slightly.

Chapter 35 The King Who Was "Backstabbed"

Hearing the cheers and shouts coming from beside him, Lin Mo felt only annoyance.

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

Lin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice deliberately low and steady, sounding like a dismissive calm, "What brings you here?"

G1's red eye flashed once, "I'm here to get rid of you, KING!"

"Wow! You've got quite the nerve!"

"Do you know who this person in front of you is? This is the strongest man on Earth! How dare a piece of junk talk so arrogantly here!"

"Lord King! Stop wasting time talking to him, quickly use your legendary 'Hellfire Inferno Wave Cannon' to blast him to smithereens!"

Before Lin Mo could respond, the crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing this, unleashing a torrent of abuse on G1 as if they had suffered a great humiliation.

Lin Mo twitched his lips, but in his heart he was calculating how to deal with G1.

With his current B-level strength, it's impossible for him to fight head-on. The tall robot in front of him is obviously not simple; its strength may have reached the "Demon" level.

Although there is the skill [Sonic Movement (Demon Level)], it seems that it can only be used to escape, right?

But he couldn't guarantee that the robot wouldn't go berserk after escaping and attack innocent civilians.

As for the skill 【Intimidation (Dragon Level)】, although it is effective against creatures of the "Ghost" level and below, this guy in front of me is a robot, so Intimidation will definitely not work on this iron lump.

Just then, G1 on the opposing team spoke up again:

"This is a performance test of my combat AI. In order to allow me to collect better data, please fight with all your might."
