Chapter 497: Brother, Please Let Me Go

City A.

Headquarters of the Heroes Association.

The main control room of the human survival area.

An association manager at the back of the room asked an association staff member who was seated in front of the screen, "Has the alert been sent?"

"It has been sent."

The agent quickly responded.

At that moment, another manager approached from the side and said quietly.

"Hold on, we need to change the content."

"Huh?"

The association staff and the previous manager looked over, showing surprised faces.

The new manager said in a deep voice, "Stinger has been defeated!".

This statement caused a slight shock to several people present in the main control room.

The eleventh class-A hero: Stinger.

Although he was not as good as the S-class heroes, there were only less than thirty people above him, and it could be said that he was an extremely outstanding hero.

The defeat of an A-class hero was a serious event, and it would probably take several A-class heroes, or S-class heroes, to resolve the situation.

"Raise the disaster level to Demon Level, and re-issue the alert!"

After a brief moment of shock, the association manager reacted immediately and gave a quick order, "Also inform the heroes near J-City as soon as possible! Who are the A-class and above heroes in the vicinity of J-City that can come to the rescue right now?!"

"The current class-A and above heroes near A City are Lightning Max, and Puri-Puri Prisoner seems to be there as well... by the way, the Demonic Cyborg is also on his way to the incident site."

The staff member tapped the screen and quickly obtained the exact location of the class-A heroes equipped with the Hero Association's special locator phone.

Hearing this report, the association manager breathed a small sigh of relief and said, "Are there two S-class heroes here? Inform them of the latest data on Stinger's defeat."

The disaster was defined as a demon level.

If there were two S-class heroes, it wouldn't be too much trouble to solve it, so there would be no need to urgently summon other S-class heroes who weren't there.

...

J City.

Outside the shelter.

The walls surrounding the shelter had been heavily demolished, and many civilians were trembling as they crowded around the shattered shelter, looking fearfully out into the streets.

Because of Yeruashi, Saitama was invited to take up residence at the Hero Association headquarters in City A after becoming an S-class hero. As a result, Saitama was not in J-City when the Deep Sea Clan invaded, and a large number of Deep Sea Clan members, led by the Deep Sea King, made their way to the human shelters before finally being stopped.

The A-class heroes, Lightning Max and Stinger, had already been defeated.

The Deep Sea King had led a large number of Deep Sea Clan tribes, and now they were all dead, and the only enemy left on the field was the Deep Sea King, who was fighting the S-Class hero: Puri-Puri Prisoner.

"I'll never let you... hurt the pretty boys!!!"

Puri-Puri Prisoner was covered in scars all over his body, but at this moment he was roaring angrily, throwing his fists in a fierce fight against the Deep Sea King.

The clash of fists was like the sound of a drum being beaten, a steady hum and vibration that seemed to vibrate in the minds of the people inside the shelter, a rhythm that made the hearts of the civilians inside the shelter skip a beat.

"S-Class Hero..."

"The Puri-Puri Prisoner... still has some power, but it still doesn't seem to be able to win against the demon level monster..."

Not far from the battlefield.

Sonic Speed of Sound, who was wearing a prison uniform, watched the combat between Puri-Puri Prisoner and the Deep Sea King, with a bit of seriousness in his eyes, assessing and judging the strength of both sides.

The sky was overcast, rain was falling and the Deep Sea King was almost at full strength, bathed in it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Puri-Puri Prisoner had been training hard after his battle against the Juubi and his enhanced strength, he wouldn't have been able to fight the Deep Sea King right now.

But still.

The Deep Sea King was still more powerful than him!

Auge!

At last another punch landed.

Puri-Puri Prisoner fist struck the Deep Sea King's chest and stomach, and the Deep Sea King's fist struck Puri-Puri Prisoner stomach, and after a brief time, Puri-Puri Prisoner finally let out a gush of blood from his mouth and went flying backwards, hitting the concrete floor with a thud that sounded as if he had been run through with a plow.

The Deep Sea King staggered back two steps, but did not fall. A trickle of blood spurted from the corner of his lips, which he then spat out with a smile.

"It is rare to find such a resilient human..."

Coughs!

Puri-Puri Prisoner fell to the ground and tried to get up, but the pain he felt in his chest and abdomen prevented him and he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The civilians in the shattered shelter in the distance, who were watching this scene, had their life-saving straws broken, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

"Puri... Puri-Puri Prisoner has been defeated too..."

"How can that monster... be so strong..."

"This is the end... Somebody help us! Are there any heroes left?"

The choppy voices of the civilians in the back of the shelter reached Puri-Puri Prisoner's ears, making him grit his teeth and roll onto his back, but he couldn't get up.

He couldn't.

His body was at its limit and he could no longer fight.

Puri-Puri Prisoner held back and turned his head to look at the Deep Sea King when he saw a figure in front of the Deep Sea King: Sonic Speed of Sound!

"Sonic..."

Sonic was one of the guys he'd had his eye on in prison, but had never gotten around to it.

At his glare, Sonic just stood there looking at the Deep Sea King and said, "You bastard.... Who the hell are you?"

The Deep Sea King looked up, smiled and said, "I am the Deep Sea King! The leader of the Deep Sea Clan, the one who will rule this world!"

"Heh..."

Hearing the Deep Sea King's words, Sonic showed a hint of mockery and said, "You think you alone can rule the world?".

The Deep Sea King looked at Sonic arrogantly and said, "Then you can go to hell too."

Sonic let out a chuckle and said, "That's what I mean, I'm no hero, but if you talk to me like that, you can go to hell."

Based on the battle between the Puri-Puri Prisoner and the Deep Sea King, he had a rough idea of the Deep Sea King's strength.

Even if he could not defeat the Deep Sea King without his weapons now, the Deep Sea King's speed would be hard to defeat, and he himself wanted to test the Deep Sea King's strength.

"Who is that man..."

"Is he a prisoner too? I don't think he's a hero..."

The civilians in the shelter looked at Sonic without remembering him as a hero, so the uneasiness didn't go away.

But just as Sonic was about to step forward and fight the Deep Sea King, the civilians watching him from afar looked stunned.

Snap!

A hand came out from behind Sonic's back and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, young man, let me through."

"!!!"

The light tap made Sonic's soul almost leave his body for a moment, the hairs all over his body suddenly bristled and a shiver ran through him from head to toe, causing him to freeze in place.

He is a ninja, a ninja with great vigilance, but now someone appeared behind him and patted him on the shoulder, but didn't he notice anything?!

That meant that if he had been attacked, he would have fallen, without noticing!

Who?!

Who the hell is that?

Sonic stiffened and looked sideways to see a young man with short silver hair wearing a casual white shirt, smiling slightly as he withdrew his hand and walked past him in the direction of the Deep Sea King.
