Draft:

"Kieee…kekekeke." Roaring on the middle of the streets was a middle-aged man whose body shone with a bronze hue.

His body was heavy, embodied by every deep impression his foot made in the roads. A flinch of his hand and a car was sent flying.

Uwaaah!

"My Child!" A mother screamed in horror upon noticing that she had lost sight of her daughter amidst the chaos, turning around to stare at a shop entrance twenty metres away where her daughter was, weeping.

The giggling maniac approached her, emitting faint fumes all over his body that melted anything that came into contact with him.

Villain!

The villain crouched forth, grinning as he stared at the fear-stricken girl, "Now, what do we have here? My first victim for the day?"

"Enough!" A shout resounded when suddenly, the soles of a shoe slammed into the villain's face, sending him flying away.

"That tickled me." The villain got up immediately, staring at a suited youth holding the fear-stricken girl in a protective embrace. His eyes trailed over to the youth's shoes, the one that kicked him, seeing that it had melted into a puddle, revealing a foot that sported burnt marks.

His legs were twitching in response, obviously having taken damage from the attack.

The youth stared at the girl's mother far away, raising his hand to shout, "Catch her!"

Energy billowed out of his body as the girl magically flew towards her mother. The mother caught the girl, grunting at the force when she shrieked as the lamppost twenty metres behind her collapsed mysteriously.

If seen from the sky, one would notice that by taking the woman's position as the centre, the lamppost and the girl were equidistant from one another, with all three falling on a straight line.

"This power…" The villain muttered in a frown before grinning smugly, "You're that newly reinstated Hero…"

"Sandwich Man!"

Tch!

The youth clicked his tongue, muttering in response, "It seems I blew my identity already. I was counting on that to ambush him."

"I've heard you're weak, even for a Hero." The villain said, taking a step forward when two cars slammed into him, sandwiching him in the middle.

But a couple of seconds later, the villain casually pried himself out of them, barely even suffering a scratch from the impact, "Indeed, you're weak."

"Dammit, even the cars didn't work? How tough is this guy?" The youth, Lettuce Loaf was alarmed. Honestly, his ability was pretty strong, but it was dependent on the environment.

And typically, all villains had a body tougher than the surroundings that he could use to smash them with.

"Well, enough talking, I guess." The villain grinned all of a sudden and rushed at the group of people that were running away.

"No!" Lettuce shouted.

The villain was about to grab a civilian who suddenly vanished, appearing next to the wall of the nearby building, its walls treated as the part to be sandwiched. If he were even an instant slower in stopping his power, she would have slammed into the wall and turned into meat paste.

"What the…?" The villain was shocked when he leapt onto a boy, noticing the boy vanish just like before, appearing beside the building on the other side of the road.

Similarly, everyone he targeted was moved to safe distances. It was apparent that even though his attack power was weak, he could still save people…

Boom!

"You've irritated me enough." The villain announced, suddenly melting the side of an entire building that caused it to collapse, burying all the people there.

"I failed again?" Lettuce slumped to the ground in despair, seeing the blood fill the streets, once again.
