Chapter 23 Where do you want to go when traveling?
The black shadow on the horizon was approaching rapidly, with fire shooting out of its back.
The heroes are on alert. Could it be that the space invaders have escaped?
Bang! The black shadow fell heavily on the open space near the S-class heroes, and the surrounding area was filled with smoke.
This is an escape cabin that reflects metallic luster all over, with jets installed on the bottom and back, and the hatch cover is fixed by four huge rotating buckles.
With a hissing sound, the hatch cover slowly opened, revealing the figure inside.
This is a mechanical body that is similar to a humanoid in shape. It has three distinctive holes on its face and is numbered 333 on its body.
The robot raised its head, and the dozens of data and energy lines plugged into its body fell off one after another, and then walked out of the cabin with creaking steps, as if there was no one else around.
The expression of the devil's reformer became ugly, and he yelled loudly:
"Metal Knight, what are you doing here? The war is over."
He had briefly communicated with the Drive Knight in the previous battle, and the latter solemnly reminded him, 'The Metal Knight is your enemy, you have to be careful.'
You must know that the hometown and family of the demon cyborg Genos were completely destroyed by a rampaging robot. He transformed his whole body into this in order to find his enemies. If he hadn't met Saitama during this period, he would still be full of
Filled with rage, he indulges in the path of revenge.
In Genos's view, the one with the greatest suspicion is Metal Knight, and the Driver Knight's statement just proves this point.
How could Genos calm down when he was facing a suspected enemy? The reason why he didn't hit Metal Knight with an incendiary cannon was entirely because the Metal Knight in front of him was simply a machine clone. Killing it would have no meaning. Instead, it would arouse the other party's suspicion.
At the same time, Heather, who was standing aside, noticed that the driver knight had quietly disappeared.
It's interesting. As long as the Metal Knight shows up, the Drive Knight will try not to show up as much as possible?
In the original One Punch Man, there have always been two schools of thought about who is the ‘BOSS’ between Metal Knight and Drive Knight.
Indeed, Metal Knight is very much like a BOSS. In the original novel, the wreckage of the Dark Matter was recycled just to make more powerful weapons. Normally, he did not perform his duties as a hero at all. He attacked monsters just to experiment with new weapons.
During the confrontation between the Heroes Association and the Weird Association, Emperor Tong asked the Metal Knight for help several times, but the Metal Knight not only ignored it, but also asked the staff member Emperor Tong to modify the battle plan with just one word, almost causing the Hero Association to be wiped out.
In addition, the Metal Knight himself is the bald, buck-toothed evil scientist villain commonly seen in science fiction works, and it is really difficult for readers to believe that this guy is really a decent person.
Compared with the Metal Knight, the Drive Knight is undoubtedly more popular among readers in terms of appearance and fighting style.
But the Drive Knight's motivations are also mysterious in the original work. His combat method is different from the Metal Knight's "overwhelming fire suppression and military suppression". The Drive Knight focuses on maximizing the combat power of individual soldiers and making them omnipotent.
The black box he carries with him can transform into a variety of powerful modes to deal with different types of enemies.
In the original work, he is elusive and has a very purposeful appearance every time. In addition, he has spoken out to instigate Genos and Metal Knight, so many readers believe that Drive Knight is the real villain.
To Heather, these didn't matter. Both the Drive Knight and the Metal Knight were just children in his eyes.
Double suppression of firepower and military power? No matter how fierce you are, can you be stronger than Pluto's infinite army of resurrected machines?
Maximize the combat capability of an individual soldier? No matter how strong you are, can you be better than me who cheats with krypton gold?
With her horizons sharpened, Heather now sees the petty quarrel between the Metal Knight and the Drive Knight as if she were watching children playing hide and seek, and it is just a matter of fun.
Not far away, the Metal Knight turned to look at Genos and made a dull voice:
"Genos? I didn't expect you to successfully stop the meteorite before. It really shocked me."
"How dare you mention the meteorite thing?" Genos' expression became more serious.
Previously, Z City was almost destroyed by a meteorite that fell from the sky and was rated as a 'dragon-level disaster'. Genos and Banggu who were summoned were helpless, while Metal Knight just controlled the combat robot to fly over and fired a wave of rockets at the meteorite.
After firing a volley, seeing that it was of no use, he turned around and walked away, leaving Genos and Bangu there to die.
Fortunately, Saitama was also at the scene and shattered the huge meteorite with one punch, thus avoiding a dragon-level disaster that wiped Z City off the map.
Seeing that Metal Knight still dared to mention that matter now, the energy level in the chest of Genos, the demon cyborg, kept rising.
"The meteorite was destroyed, City Z was able to survive, and you gained great fame. Why can't you mention something that makes everyone happy?"
The metal knight let out a deep laugh that mixed with electric current:
"That's the end of the joke. I'm here to recover that spaceship. Where is it?"
Genos immediately responded: "Spaceship? Do you want to use alien technology to create more powerful weapons?"
"Isn't it to develop powerful weapons to invent the dishwasher? Genos, I thought you would understand me. There are so many huge dangers in the world that threaten human safety. Only more powerful weapons can protect human beings.
Peace."
The metal knight tilted his head, and the connection between the metal rod on his neck made a creaking sound:
"Okay, can any of my colleagues kindly tell me where the spaceship went?"
No one spoke.
On the one hand, they are really unhappy with the Metal Knight. We are here fighting to the death and almost died, and you wait until the battle is over to touch the corpse? How can there be such a beautiful thing!
On the other hand, the heroes present heard the conversation between Heather and Boros. The spaceship was theoretically owned by Heather, but the spacecraft ran too fast and could not be stopped. As soon as you Metal Knight ran over
You just want to grab Heather's loot. How many lives do you have to waste?
The zombie man put the cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth back into his pocket and glanced quietly at Heather.
Based on his observations from the first time he came into contact with Heather to the present, Mr. Yuhu is not the kind of master who will suffer losses. If the conflict in the conversation escalates next, it is likely to turn into a battle between Metal Knight, one of the four pillars of the association, and S-Class.
The most powerful Yuhu.
Sure enough, as soon as Metal Knight finished asking, Heather's lazy voice sounded from the side:
"Hey, that boat is already my property, do you want to take it away?"
The Metal Knight immediately turned his mechanical head and looked at Heather steadily: "It turns out to be the 15th S-class Yu Hu. When we first met, I am the 7th S-class Metal Knight."
Heather yawned: "What, you want to use rankings to suppress me?"
"Of course not. I just want to consider the overall situation and sincerely hope that you, Yu Hu, can provide me with the whereabouts of [your] spaceship for the sake of human peace and the effective advancement of future science and technology."
Of course there was no expression on Metal Knight's three-hole mechanical face, only a hint of impatience in his voice:
"Please cooperate."
The surroundings became silent, and even Tatsumaki's eyes widened.
Metal Knight, are you out of your mind? How dare you say such nonsense after seeing such a fierce battle just now? Without Yuhu, this planet would be finished. Are you still making technological progress? Are you going to hell to make progress?
In fact, they did wrong Metal Knight because he didn't see the previous battle between Heather and Boros.
Metal Knight did receive an emergency summons from the Heroes Association, but he had no intention of participating. For him, carrying out heroic actions is not as useful as conducting a few more experiments.
After the spaceship attacked City A, he only watched the battle between the S-class heroes and the three-dragon-class monsters through a small surveillance robot, and he impatiently controlled the robot to fly here.
Of course, he is not here to help, but to grab the spaceship. A huge spaceship that can destroy City A with a single salvo and has the ability to jump through space. Metal Knight has a hunch that if he can obtain such technology, he will be able to greatly improve the machinery under his command.
The overall strength of the legion.
As the robot flew over, Dr. Beaufoy, the body of the Metal Knight, wanted to continue to learn more about the spacecraft, but found that all the monitoring robots he had left in City A had been destroyed, so he could only compare the previously recorded spacecraft messages.
While conducting analysis and tactical drills, I had no time to turn on the TV and watch the live broadcast. Naturally, I did not see the shocking battle between Heather and Boros.
When the robots arrived at the scene, Dr. Beaufoy thought that everyone was very tired because they had just defeated three dragon-level monsters. He never considered that their fatigue was because they had just escaped from the aftermath of the battle between Heather and Boros.
life.
When Heather said that the spaceship was his, Metal Knight also took it as a joke. These reckless monkeys only know how to use fists and kicks, do they think they are children? Whoever announces that the spaceship belongs to him first will own the spaceship.
?Then this planet has long been mine, okay?
In response to Metal Knight's 'order', Heather just picked her ears, turned to Saitama and said, "I'm going to buy hot pot ingredients and fine beef in a moment. Should I eat at your house or at mine?"
"Hot pot! Let's go to your house. I rarely visit other people's houses." Saitama immediately became happy when he heard about hot pot.
On the other side, Metal Knight, one of the four pillars, saw that Heather, a newcomer, was so uncooperative. He took a step forward with a bang and said in a deep voice:
"Yu Hu, I'm asking you something."
"Metal Knight, don't be too presumptuous."
Before Heather could speak, the tornado stopped. She activated the remaining telekinesis, and the surrounding gravel on the ground began to float upward:
"The spaceship has already flown away from the earth, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Tatsumaki felt the top of his head being rubbed by Heather, and Heather's voice sounded beside him: "Metal Knight, right?"
"Exactly."
"The spaceship is a trophy that the enemy general and I staked our lives on. Where does it go and what does it have to do with you?"
Heather looked at Metal Knight with a smile:
"You just mentioned the overall view of human peace and scientific progress. Well, you said it very well. But what does it have to do with me?"
A simple summary is ‘none of your business’ + ‘none of my business’.
Metal Knight froze in place for a few seconds, obviously not expecting that someone would actually refute him, an S-class hero who is one of the four pillars of the British Association.
After a few seconds, the Metal Knight spoke again, with anger clearly in his voice:
"Heather! You want to stop human progress-"
The words stopped abruptly.
Because Heather stretched out her right hand toward him, holding her thumb against the nail of her index finger.
"If you travel, where do you want to go?"
"Varied……"
Bang!
With a flick of Heather's finger, Metal Knight's robot numbered 333 was instantly thrown out by the air cannonball, turned into a barreled cannonball and quickly disappeared into the horizon along the route it came from.
It must be said that this hand immediately calmed the surrounding heroes except Saitama.
Except for the tornado, who here can withstand this air cannon?
Heather opened her arms and stretched hard, her joints cracking all over her body, and then she looked at everyone: "Is that the end of today's activities? I have a dinner party next, so I won't disturb you all.
"
As he said that, he looked at Saitama: "My home is in J City, let's go."
He jumped on the spot with a loud bang and flew hundreds of meters in an instant. After a few ups and downs, he quickly disappeared.
"Oh oh oh! Genos, let's go!"
Saitama's mind was now full of hotpot, and he immediately followed Haise, who disappeared in the same few clicks.
"Yes!" As soon as Genos heard the teacher's call, he immediately forgot about the Metal Knight and flew into the sky with both hands and feet spitting fire like Iron Man.
The heroes were left looking at each other in shock.
"A super genius will always be more free and uninhibited."
The silver fangs hammered the old man, trying to save some face for the three young people:
"Anyway, the earth is safe for the time being. Everyone, let me take the first step."
Seeing the silver fangs walking away, Atomic Samurai also said goodbye to everyone: "I have to go find my apprentice 'Iai Steel'. He was left by me in City A to wait for my emergency meeting. I don't think he will be like this."
Die here."
Kuzan suddenly said: "Are you talking about the second-ranked A-level Steel Iai? I have sent him to the border rescue center in City B. He suffered only skin injuries, so don't worry."
"Thank you so much, God! I'll treat you to dinner later!" The Atomic Warrior breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran towards City B.
Then Godspeed, Flash Flash, Tornado, and Dogman also left one after another.
The remaining heroes waited for the arrival of the rescue team. It was better to leave by rescue helicopter than to run on their own.
The billowing smoke was gradually extinguished by the rain, revealing the endless ruined battlefield.
On this day, City A completely disappeared from the map.
On the same day, the [Dragon or above] level was officially confirmed by the Heroes Association, and this disaster level had an independent name - [Mimicking God] level.
The invasion of aliens and the destruction of City A were listed as major events worthy of being recorded in history.
Metal Knight ultimately failed to find the spaceship. But he was not without gains. He signed a huge order with the Heroes Association and began to rebuild the Heroes Association headquarters on the ruins of City A.
According to the Hero Association's internal calculations, this project will take at least ten years. The delivery date given by Metal Knight is seven days later.
None of the above major events can obscure the light of a rising super star.
【Yuhu】Heather.
The Hero Association has been urgently finalized, and the next publicity work will be completely centered around Yu Hu. He will be the new and biggest and strongest brand of the Hero Association.
A super trump card that is enough to fight and defeat godlike monsters!
Meetings are being held intensively to discuss Yuhu's new treatment, rewards, and new rankings.
On this day, there are countless fanatical fans of Rain Tiger Heather all over the world. If we can make good use of it, the Hero Association will take the opportunity to expand its original scale several times.
But Heather didn't care about this at all. He was more concerned about the hot pot now.
In the dojo of J City, a war over hot pot is about to begin.
