'The Darkness Power I fused when fighting Blast was too little, but this power can indeed effectively restrain Divine Power.'
King felt the faint Darkness Power surging within him and had a new idea.
'System, how can I significantly increase the capacity of Darkness Power? Can I use the fused Light Power to convert it?'
[Ding! Conversion is possible. The existing Divine Power will completely dissipate and be reconverted into Union Power, and progress will be recalculated. Do you want to convert?]
It really is possible!
King was somewhat surprised, he didn't expect that Divine Power could be directly converted into Union Power through the system.
'The progress of Divine Power has already reached 26%. Do I have to start from zero?'
King hesitated.
The current progress was hard-won, it had even been coaxed and swindled out of God.
'Forget it, there is no construction without destruction. Convert.'
Hum!
King could clearly feel the Divine Power in his body dissipating rapidly, replaced by black and white air currents. The two air currents swirled and merged within his body, finally taking shape.
Union Power?
Swish!
A black and white energy ball appeared in King's palm. Following his mental command, the energy ball shot out toward a distant mountain peak.
Rumble!
The explosion completely razed the mountain peak to the ground.
King was shocked, he hadn't expected Union Power's effectiveness to be this great.
'Goodness, this power is several times stronger than Divine Power. It's a pity the energy is limited, I must collect more Divine Power.' King was extremely excited at this moment.
The fusion of the Light Power and Darkness Power, Union Power, was equivalent to him having another trump card, and this power was extremely effective at restraining Divine Power.
'It seems that the next time I see Blast, I can give him a surprise.'

In the suburbs of Z-City, King returned to the Monster Association again.
The appearance of Neo made him heighten his vigilance once more. However, with Psykos and Sweet Mask here, as long as a monster above Dragon level didn't appear, they would have no problem escaping.
"You're back." Psykos smiled to welcome King.
The battle with Neo had already spread via live broadcast, and she had naturally seen it.
"Yeah, I ran into Blast on the way and almost didn't make it back." King still felt lingering fear.
Blast could find him through Divine Power, so perhaps he could also sense the presence of Psykos and Sweet Mask. If the new Monster Association base was discovered by him, they would be wiped out.
"S-Class Rank 1 Hero, Blast? He actually returned?"
Sweet Mask walked out of the laboratory. At this moment, his aura seemed somewhat unstable.
"Hmm? Could this aura be...?"
A look of surprise appeared in King's eyes. He could feel the surging, immense energy within Sweet Mask.
"This is the monster cell used to cultivate Orochi back then. I transplanted it into him, I didn't expect it to be exceptionally suitable." Psykos was full of pride.
As long as there was enough time, she was confident in elevating Sweet Mask's strength to the level of Orochi.
"This is a good power. However, Neo is also constantly conducting experiments on monsters, and there is the frequent appearance of God's agents."
"This place is not safe. I will set up coordinates, and in the future, we will come and go through the portal. You should also be careful. If you encounter a powerful enemy, prioritize your own safety." King patiently gave instructions.
If the base was destroyed, it could be rebuilt, but if talented people were lost, they could truly never be found again.
"Rest assured. Now, even against Tatsumaki, I have the strength to fight. It won't be long before I can fight side by side with you." Sweet Mask was full of confidence.
He was even impatient to fight against the strong people of the outside world.
"After a while, I will send Black Sperm back, and then you guys..."
Before King could finish speaking, a massive amount of energy descended from the sky, firmly locking onto the underground Monster Association base.
Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist!
Rumble!
An air current shot up from the ground, colliding with the energy ball in the sky. The shockwave swept away the surrounding trees.
King appeared in the air. At this moment, a woman was looking at him with great interest.
"God's agent?" King narrowed his eyes slightly.
The woman before him contained an extremely massive amount of Divine Power within her body, she was clearly God's agent without a doubt.
"Are you the God-Blasphemer?"
"God-Blasphemer?"
"My name is Sakura. In the name of God, I execute all existences that stand against God."
Countless energy balls filled the sky, as if they were about to fall the next second.
'The range of impact is too wide, the Monster Association base won't be able to hold up.'
King immediately realized the severity of the problem, but it was already too late.
Sakura's palm fell, and countless energy balls poured down toward the ground like raindrops.
Portal Creation!
Hundreds of portals appeared, transferring the vast majority of the energy balls.
Psychic Storm!
Whoosh... Whoosh...
The massive psychic power turned into streaks of light, forming a giant tornado that dispersed all the energy balls.
"Hehe. As expected, you have some skills, but how are you going to withstand this?" Sakura laughed.
"This is?!"
King's pupils constricted slightly. He saw a giant energy ball with a diameter of over a hundred meters appear in the sky. Looking at it from afar, it was like a small asteroid.
Hero's Heart, activate! First Layer Liberation! Second Layer Liberation! Third Layer Liberation!
Thump! Thump!
A powerful heartbeat sounded. King's strength surged instantly, and his Fighting Spirit burst out from his body.
"What a powerful man. It's a pity that I represent God, the existence that dominates everything."
Boom!
The huge light sphere fell rapidly toward the ground.
King took a deep breath. No matter what, he had to withstand this attack.
Sakura was different from all previous God's agents. Whether it was Vaccine Man or Homeless Emperor, in terms of attack power alone, they were probably far inferior to her.
Only Psykos-Orochi, after Psykos and Orochi merged, could rival her.
Such an attack could not only easily destroy a city but could even penetrate Earth's core. Fortunately, Z-City, after experiencing the previous battle, had long since become a ruin, and there was no one living nearby.

"Alert! Massive energy detected. Threat level suspected to be above Dragon!"
At the Hero Association headquarters, Maria was looking at the screen full of red warnings with a terrified expression.
Since the Monster Association battle, such massive energy had never been detected before.
"What's going on? Where is the location?" Jess asked hurriedly.
The Hero Association was currently at its weakest. S-Class Heroes like Child Emperor, Superalloy Darkshine, and Metal Bat had all jumped ship to Neo. Even the high-level association executive Sekingar, who commanded the Monster Association subjugation battle, had recently submitted his resignation and gone to Neo.
Other S-Class Heroes were either unreachable or ignored the association's orders. The appearance of such a massive disaster at this time was akin to adding frost to snow.
"The location is in the suburbs of Z-City!"
"Z-City again? Could it be the remnants of the Monster Association? Or could it be that God has appeared?"
