King: "..."
Saitama blinked: "Then what should we do?"
The light in Asmodeus's eyes dimmed instantly.
Her knuckles gripping the cube turned white from the force.
Is it... still not going to work in the end?
Boros pondered for two seconds and looked at King: "We don't need too many technicians who can fly the ship."
"There should still be an autopilot program on board."
"Setting a new destination requires high-level authorization and real-time command input."
"Don't worry about the authorization, but as for command input..."
"I can't do it."
"Do any of you know the Cosmic Language?"
This question was quite practical.
A subtle silence fell over the scene for a moment.
There was a whole bunch of people who knew how to fight.
But someone who knew Cosmic Languages... it seemed no one had ever heard of that skill point being taken.
King rubbed the bridge of his nose, his brain working rapidly.
Suddenly, a small figure carrying a backpack flashed through his mind.
"Let's head back to Earth first."
King said with certainty, "Someone is bound to know it."
...When King, Saitama, Boros, and Asmodeus landed in the ruins of City A, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
"M-Monster! That pink-haired Monster is back!!"
An A-Class Hero clearing the rubble collapsed to the ground in fear, his voice distorted.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures converged from all directions at extreme speeds, blocking the path in front of Boros.
Although Atomic Samurai's face was still pale, he had replaced his broken blade.
He held the new sword, his gaze sharp.
Tatsumaki floated in the air, her Psychokinesis light unstable yet stubbornly glowing.
Her small face was full of vigilance and anger.
Metal Bat was heavily injured and near death, yet he gritted his teeth; his aura grew stronger, and his combat power climbed higher.
Superalloy Darkshine, Drive Knight, Zombieman, Child Emperor... all the S-Class Heroes who were still capable of moving.
Every one of them was as if facing a great enemy, staring fixedly at Boros.
Even though they were heavily injured and unhealed.
The duty to protect Earth forced them to stand up.
Boros stood with his arms crossed.
His single eye swept over this group of 'remnants'.
He silently calculated the outcome of a battle in his mind.
'Even if I have been weakened to the limit, it wouldn't take ten minutes to defeat this group of trash.'
A barely audible snort escaped Boros's nose.
He completely disregarded this group of'small fry'.
This attitude further enraged the crowd.
Just as the situation reached a breaking point—
King took a step forward, shielding Boros.
His figure wasn't taller than Boros's, but the moment he stood firm, the taut nerves of all the S-Class Heroes instinctively relaxed slightly.
"Calm down."
King spoke, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Boros is not the enemy right now."
"Not the enemy?"
Tatsumaki shrieked, her emerald eyes widening.
"King! This pink-haired bastard almost killed us all just now! He even destroyed City A!"
