The middle-aged man next to him stared in disbelief at the scene, his mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.
A few seconds later, as if remembering something, the shock on his face was instantly replaced by ecstasy. He jumped up and shouted with all his might:
"KING...it's Mr. KING!!!"
"Mr. King has rushed to the battlefield! Everyone in the shelter is saved!"
These words acted like a stabilizing force, instantly bringing the rioting crowd to a halt.
The cries, curses, and prayers all disappeared.
Everyone jerked their heads up, their gazes fixed on the live stream screen, a renewed flame of hope rekindled in their eyes, anticipating that the legendary man would create a "miracle" as he had done in the past.
------
On the other side, just as Deep Sea King was about to reach the last street of the shelter, an unexpected figure blocked his way.
On the live stream screen, the camera gave a close-up shot.
In the scene, a man wearing a green uniform, a cheap helmet and goggles, riding his ordinary bicycle "Justice", resolutely blocks the monster's path in the midst of a storm.
Behind him lies a refuge where tens of thousands of people have a chance to survive.
"It's... the number one C-rank, the Unlicensed Rider!" Someone in the shelter immediately recognized him.
What followed was an uproar.
"Run! Are you crazy?!" a young man shouted anxiously.
"Even S-rank Genos... what are you, a C-rank hero, doing going up there! What's the difference between this and suicide!"
"Don't go! Please, run!"
The public gasped in shock, unable to comprehend this act that could be described as suicidal.
On the screen, the unlicensed rider abandons his bicycle. He is soaking wet, and his body looks incredibly thin in contrast to the massive body of the Deep Sea King. He is even trembling slightly.
But he still spread his arms wide, and with all his might, he shouted out his conviction for justice:
"Of course I know I can't beat you! Rank S or Rank C, I don't care about that at all!"
His voice, carried by the howling wind and rain through the microphones of reporters on the scene, resounded throughout the city and clearly echoed in every corner of the shelter.
"This isn't about winning or losing! It's about me having to stand here and be your enemy!"
Chapter 57 The real hero
These words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
All the mocking and bewildered voices inside the shelter fell silent abruptly.
People stared blankly at the tiny figure on the screen, a complex and indescribable emotion welling up in their hearts.
"What an annoying fly." Deep Sea King completely lost his patience. He didn't even bother to use his full strength and just threw a punch casually.
The unlicensed rider was easily knocked away, his body arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
But he struggled, coughing up blood, and once again staggered to his feet, standing in front of the monster once more.
Once, twice, three times...
He was knocked down again and again, the sound of bones breaking seemed to be clearly audible, and blood mixed with rainwater stained his uniform red.
"Ah..." A collective gasp of pity echoed through the shelter.
However, to everyone's surprise, just a few seconds later, the figure struggled, coughed up several mouthfuls of blood mixed with rainwater, and stood up again, swaying unsteadily, and stood in front of the monster once more.
His steps were unsteady, but his eyes remained resolute.
"Oh?" The Deep Sea King seemed to have become slightly interested.
Another punch. This time, the unlicensed rider was sent flying like a baseball, crashing into an abandoned car and denting the door.
The sound of bones shattering seemed so clear it could be heard even through the screen.
But he stood up again.
Once, twice, three times...
He knew he was weak, and he knew that every time he stood up, it was meaningless.
But he knew even more that if he backed down, the hopes of tens of thousands of people behind him would be completely crushed.
"Enough...please, don't get up again..." In the shelter, a young girl was sobbing uncontrollably. She covered her mouth, unable to bear watching the cruel scene any longer.
“A hero…he’s a hero too…” a middle-aged man murmured to himself, his eyes filled with respect.
The ridicule and incomprehension have long since disappeared, replaced by profound shock and reverence.
At this moment, what they saw was not just a weak hero trying to stop a chariot, but a person using his purest beliefs to fight against a hopeless enemy.
"Then, take your laughable 'justice' and die!" The Deep Sea King was finally enraged.
He raised his enormous fist, aiming it at the Mumen Rider who was already unable to move but was still glaring at him angrily, preparing to deliver the final blow.
"boom--!!!"
A dazzling ball of light, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, came from afar and slammed precisely into the Deep Sea King's arm that was about to swing down!
The violent explosion caused Deep Sea King to groan in pain, forcing him to halt his attack.
It turned its face to the left, its expression contorted with rage, trying to find the one who dared to ambush it.
However, it only felt a shadow so fast it couldn't be caught flash past it.
The Deep Sea King's massive body trembled violently as an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.
It quickly turned its head, its pupils suddenly contracting.
Where there had been no one before, a man was now standing quietly.
The man was holding the unlicensed rider, who had fainted from exhaustion, in his arms. The unlicensed rider's lips were still moving slightly: "Thank goodness... Mr. King... you've come..."
That man was Lin Mo.
He took out a bottle of [Super Stamina Recovery Potion] that emitted a soft glow from his system space and carefully fed it to the unlicensed knight.
Visibly, the gruesome wounds on the unlicensed rider's body began to heal rapidly.
Lin Mo gently placed him on a relatively clean surface and said in a low voice, "You've done very well. Now leave the rest to me."
Then, he slowly turned around and calmly faced the ocean overlord who exuded an overwhelming ferocity.
"Oh? Another one coming to die?" The Deep Sea King stared down at Lin Mo, exhaling two puffs of white steam from his nostrils, his voice full of disdain.
"Thump thump thump... thump thump thump thump thump..."
Lin Mo looked at the unlicensed knight lying not far away, barely clinging to life, and then at the arrogant monster before him. The "Emperor Engine" within his body began to roar violently.
The Deep Sea King, who was about to step forward, suddenly stopped and fixed its gaze on Lin Mo.
It could clearly hear the roaring sound emanating from the man's body, like ten thousand horses galloping, and could feel an invisible, terrifying pressure coming towards it.
Under such pressure, he even developed the illusion that he was the prey.
"Oh?" The Deep Sea King's expression turned serious for the first time. "You're their ace? Judging from your voice, your heart is very strong."
"Very well... I've already defeated two of your so-called S-class human powerhouses. Let me see just how good your so-called 'trump card' really is!"
Deep Sea King's muscles suddenly swelled, veins bulged, and dark patterns appeared on his body surface. This was his final form when he entered full power in battle!
Nourished by the rain, his aura was several times stronger than when he fought Genos!
Faced with this earth-shattering aura, Lin Mo simply raised his right hand calmly.
There were no fancy poses, no angry roars.
He simply and directly pointed his palm at the Deep Sea King in front of him.
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump!"
The roar of the "Emperor Engine" reached an unprecedented peak at this moment!
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at KING's palm.
They didn't know what was going to happen, but they knew it would be a devastating blow that would determine the fate of them all.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Deep Sea King felt an unprecedented threat. He could no longer wait. He roared and gathered all his strength into his right fist.
It stomped on the ground, and the hard concrete floor instantly cracked into a spider web. It charged straight at Lin Mo like a green meteorite!
He was going to use his strongest punch to blast the man in front of him into nothingness!
Faced with this powerful attack that could instantly kill an S-class hero, Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged.
Just a moment before the Deep Sea King's fist was about to touch him.
A dazzling golden light quietly bloomed in his palm.
The light started as a tiny point, but in an instant it expanded into a huge golden light bullet that was impossible to look at directly!
"Energy Bomb".
Lin Mo silently recited in his heart.
He wasn't given any "penetration" or "explosion" effects because they weren't needed.
The Deep Sea King before me is not worthy.
Chapter 58 The Heart of a Hero
The next moment, the golden "sun" flew out of his hand.
Time seemed to slow down infinitely at this moment.
Everyone could clearly see that the golden energy blast collided violently with the Deep Sea King's enormous fist.
No sound was made.
The instant the two made contact, a burst of intense light engulfed everything.
Immediately afterwards, a destructive energy surged forth with unstoppable force, instantly engulfing the Deep Sea King's figure completely!
