He was no longer the ordinary person who would turn weak with fear at the mere mention of a disaster.
He walked out of the supermarket with the chaotic crowd, and the cold rain instantly soaked his hoodie.
He pulled up his hat and, with superhuman speed and strength, easily navigated through the crowded throng, eventually arriving at a nearby underground public shelter.
The shelter was already overcrowded, and the damp air was filled with an atmosphere of unease and fear.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge live screen on the wall, which was broadcasting the battle situation on the front lines in real time.
In the video, the streets of J City have been transformed into a vast expanse of water.
Countless bizarre-looking, fish-man-like "deep-sea creatures" wreaked havoc in the floodwaters. Their strength and speed far exceeded those of ordinary people, and ordinary police forces were simply unable to stop them.
In the center of this group of monsters, an incredibly tall figure, wearing a crown and a dark red cloak, was walking slowly forward with the gait of a monarch.
He is the source of all this disaster—Deep Sea King.
"Look everyone! It's an S-class hero!" A joyful shout suddenly erupted from the crowd.
The scene shifts to a man with an exaggeratedly large build, wearing a striped prison uniform, who crashes into the battlefield with a powerful leap.
He was none other than the S-class hero, the sexy prisoner, who had just arrived from prison.
"Feel my iron fist of love!"
The sexy prisoner roared and unleashed his ultimate move, "Angel's Rampage," his muscles bulging and a pair of pure white wings seemingly spreading behind him as he charged towards the Deep Sea King.
Deep Sea King neither dodged nor avoided the attack, taking the full force of Sexy Prisoner's ultimate move, causing the muscles in his arms to cave in.
But with a soft laugh from the Deep Sea King, its injuries were quickly healed.
"How...is this possible!" The sexy prisoner's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Too slow, too weak," Deep Sea King scoffed, then unleashed a powerful punch.
The punch landed squarely on the sexy prisoner's abdomen, instantly arching his body like a shrimp and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the walls of several buildings before being buried under the rubble, his fate unknown.
Inside the shelter, the newly ignited flame of hope was instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water.
Everyone gasped, their faces filled with despair.
Instant kill... An S-rank hero was actually killed in one hit!
Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart began to beat faster uncontrollably.
“Boom…boom…boom…boom…”
The familiar "Emperor Engine" sound began to rumble deep within him once more.
But this time, instead of fear, my heart was filled with a strange feeling mixed with solemnity and fighting spirit.
He clenched his fists instinctively, his mind racing as he analyzed the scene he had just witnessed.
"Such speed...and his strength is ridiculously high. In the rainy weather, his strength has probably surpassed that of an ordinary demon-level being and reached the threshold of the dragon-level."
Just then, a golden light tore through the rain, bringing a new dawn to the desperate battlefield.
"It's 'Cyborg' Genos!" Cheers erupted once again inside the shelter.
S-Class hero Genos descended from the sky, his arms already aimed at Deep Sea King, and unhesitatingly fired a scorching energy beam.
"Incinerator!"
When the flames meet the torrential rain, a large cloud of white vapor instantly rises up.
The Deep Sea King's figure appeared and disappeared in the mist. He crossed his arms to protect himself and withstood the blow.
Although some charred marks appeared on his skin, they recovered rapidly under the wash of the rain.
"Cyborgs? What boring toys." Deep Sea King swung his arm, a cruel smile on his face.
"Let me tear you down into a pile of scrap metal!"
Before he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.
What followed was a thrilling, high-speed offensive and defensive battle.
Genos unleashed his full power, his "machine gun punches" raining down on Deep Sea King like a dense meteor shower, each punch accompanied by a small explosion.
Deep Sea King, on the other hand, used his extreme speed in the rain and terrifying regenerative abilities to constantly dodge and counterattack.
The two figures collided and separated repeatedly in the torrential rain of the city, turning everything in their path, whether buildings or streets, into ruins.
The people inside the shelter held their breath in tension.
They couldn't see the specific details of the battle; all they could see were two beams of light, one gold and one green, flashing wildly on the screen, and deafening explosions filling their ears.
Lin Mo saw things more clearly than anyone else.
With his speed and telekinesis enhanced to 90 points, his dynamic vision and reaction speed have reached an inhuman level.
In his eyes, every movement of the two was slowed down.
He could see that although Genos's attacks were fierce, most of them were dodged by Deep Sea King, or he withstood them with his powerful body.
With the help of the rain, those wounds disappeared in an instant.
In contrast, Genos's mechanical body would develop minor cracks and damage to parts every time it collided with Deep Sea King.
"At this rate, Genos will lose," Lin Mo concluded.
Genos's energy is limited, while Deep Sea King seems to possess limitless stamina in the rain.
Chapter 56 Unlicensed Rider
The course of the battle proved Lin Mo's judgment correct.
During the battle, a little girl hiding behind the ruins cried out in fear, attracting the attention of the Deep Sea King.
He grinned maliciously, abandoning his fight with Genos and turning to attack the child.
Genos roared and instantly rushed in front of the girl, spreading his arms to use his body as a shield.
Upon seeing this, the Deep Sea King suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a highly corrosive acid.
"Zi la——!"
Strong acid was splashed onto Genos's back and left arm, producing a sickening corrosive sound.
The sturdy metal armor melted away at a visible speed, revealing the complex internal wiring, with electrical sparks flashing constantly.
"Uh ah ah!"
The intense pain caused Genos to groan, but he remained firmly in front of the girl, refusing to back down an inch.
"To perish in order to protect an ant? What foolish justice."
Deep Sea King seized the opportunity, flashed behind Genos, grabbed his corroded and tattered left arm with both hands, and pulled it outwards with a jerk!
With a piercing metallic snap, Genos's entire left arm was ripped off! Numerous cable breaks were exposed to the air.
"Jenos!" A gasp rang out from inside the shelter.
Genos's fighting power was greatly reduced after losing his balance and main weapon.
Deep Sea King pressed his advantage relentlessly, raining down heavy punches upon him.
Metal parts flew everywhere, and Genos was powerless to fight back. He was finally slammed into the ground with a heavy punch, and the light of the power core quickly dimmed, leaving him completely unable to move.
On the screen, Deep Sea King, standing on Genos's broken body, roared in victory.
The rain washed away the minor wounds on his body, making him look like an evil god descended from the abyss.
In J City, the last line of defense has also been breached.
Despair, like the incessant torrential rain, completely overwhelmed the hearts of everyone in the shelter.
Even two S-class heroes have been defeated one after another, who can save them?
Lin Mo quietly watched the arrogant figure on the screen, his "Emperor Engine" roaring to its limit.
But this time, there was no fear in his eyes, only a cold calm.
He could feel the golden energy in his palm, powerful enough to destroy everything, stirring restlessly.
In the news footage, a reporter's desperate voice could be heard:
"Deep Sea King has defeated all the heroes! He... he's heading towards the largest shelter in the city center! My God! There are tens of thousands of civilians there!"
Inside the shelter, everyone heard those words, and panic erupted instantly.
Some people clasped their hands together and began to pray for themselves and others; others broke down and cursed the injustice of God; and some even collapsed completely, kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly.
The scene of the apocalypse seemed so real at this moment.
Lin Mo took in all of this.
He saw a mother and daughter embracing tightly in the corner, an old man with lifeless eyes who had given up thinking, and young people clenching their fists but feeling powerless.
Then, he slowly stood up from the crowd.
His movements weren't fast, but they stood out against the chaotic backdrop.
A middle-aged man next to him noticed him and heard the increasingly loud, drum-like heartbeat emanating from him, and was stunned.
"This...this voice is..."
Lin Mo ignored the stares coming from those around him.
He simply raised his head and calmly gazed at the heavy metal door of the shelter, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the barrier and see the Deep Sea King raging in the torrential rain in the distance.
He clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force, then opened his hand and stared at his palm.
He recalled his past helplessness and fear, and also the power he now possessed.
“It seems…” he murmured to himself, his voice very soft, as if he were talking to himself.
"We can't just watch anymore, like before."
The moment the words left his mouth, he sprang into action:
"Sonic movement".
In an instant, Lin Mo's figure vanished without a trace, as if evaporated.
