“What a pity, a real pity.
You could have lived, so why choose death?” Deep Sea King said to Rimuru in a playful tone, and as he spoke, he threw a straight punch at Rimuru, completely disregarding martial ethics.
However, Rimuru’s reaction was faster than Deep Sea King expected.
Rimuru merely tilted her head slightly, and Deep Sea King’s straight punch sailed past Rimuru’s ear.
The force of the punch blew the hair hanging by Rimuru’s ear.
“What?
How is that possible?!” Deep Sea King’s fish-like eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could a human’s reaction speed be faster than his own in his complete form?
And his attack was completely unplanned, so why was it dodged?!
However, no one answered Deep Sea King.
Even if someone had, he wouldn’t have heard it, because Deep Sea King had already been kicked far away by Rimuru.
There was a clear shoe print on Deep Sea King’s abdominal muscles, and he was flying backward at an extremely fast speed.
Rimuru looked up at the rooftop, waved at Saitama, indicating that she would handle everything and he could rest.
After signaling, a pair of dragon wings appeared on Rimuru’s back, and she chased after the Deep Sea King she had kicked away.
Saitama shook his head helplessly, looked around on the rooftop, and found a place to shelter from the rain to wait for Rimuru.
He knew Rimuru too well; after dealing with Deep Sea King, she would definitely continue to shop around, simply because she hadn’t eaten what she wanted yet.
What Rimuru didn’t expect, however, was that the direction she kicked Deep Sea King was exactly where J-City’s shelter was located.
All the residents were currently in the shelter, waiting for the broadcast announcing the end of this incident.
But what appeared before the broadcast was the Deep Sea King, crashing into the shelter.
All the residents were divided into two parts by a vertical line.
Deep Sea King was embedded in the wall, head hanging, his fate unknown.
The residents, seeing Deep Sea King in the wall, all panicked and tried to flee outside, but Deep Sea King was a step faster.
One moment he was in the wall, the next he appeared at the entrance of the shelter, blocking it tightly like a guardian deity.
“Humans have really angered this lord, so, all of you, die!” Deep Sea King raised his right hand, wiped the dark blue blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to the residents in the shelter with a terrifying tone.
Upon hearing Deep Sea King’s words, the residents immediately erupted into chaos.
Cries, screams, and shouts of “Where are the heroes?
Why aren’t they coming to save us?” filled the entire shelter.
“To think that you trash live on land.
But it doesn’t matter, because from today onwards, the overlord of the land will be me, Deep Sea King!” Deep Sea King continued to boast shamelessly, reaching out and grabbing an adult man, lifting him up to eye level.
He glanced at the man in his hand, whose snot and tears were mixed together, and Deep Sea King’s heart was full of disdain and contempt.
Just as he was about to throw the man into his mouth and eat him, he noticed that his arm was entangled by many threads that had appeared out of nowhere.
And not just his arm; his thighs and body were all wrapped in those slender threads that could only be seen by the reflection of the shelter’s lights.
“What is this?
When did it get on me?!” Deep Sea King’s tone was full of disbelief.
He hadn’t even noticed when these threads had wrapped around him.
He tried to forcefully break free from the threads, but unexpectedly, those thin lines were as sharp as swords.
As Deep Sea King struggled, the threads deeply embedded themselves into his body, and dark blue blood dripped onto the ground along the threads.
“Dominate the land?
You’re not worthy.” Rimuru’s voice, accompanied by footsteps, reached everyone present.
Some of the residents seemed to be Rimuru’s fans, and upon seeing Rimuru, they immediately began to loudly call out Rimuru’s name.
Rimuru’s right arm was wrapped in Body Armor, and nearly transparent threads were still wrapped around her fingertips.
Deep Sea King, having suffered from the steel wires, dared not make any large movements.
He turned his head slightly and clearly saw that the source of the steel wires was Rimuru’s right forearm, covered by Body Armor.
“You released this stuff?!?
When?!” Deep Sea King’s tone was urgent, wanting to know when these steel wires, which could cut his body like tofu, had wrapped around him.
“They were already on you when I kicked you away.
I just wanted to deal with you quickly, but I didn’t expect the end point to be the shelter.
I almost made a mistake.” Rimuru said, while weaving a huge spider web with the steel wires, and using sticky threads, she hoisted Deep Sea King into the air.
The man Deep Sea King had held in his hand was also rescued by Rimuru.
However, rather than being rescued, Deep Sea King’s entire forearm was severed by the steel wires, and the man naturally fell to the ground.
He was covered in Deep Sea King’s dark blue blood, which conveniently hid the fact that he had wet his pants from fear.
In just a brief moment, the severed arm had grown back.
Rimuru looked at Deep Sea King’s regenerated arm and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “How can even a merman have fast regeneration?
This is truly troublesome.” In fact, Deep Sea King had considered relying on his powerful regenerative ability to break free from the steel wires, but his regeneration was only for limb regrowth and couldn’t restore a body that had been cut into pieces.
The steel wires Rimuru had wrapped around him covered his entire body, making it impossible to forcibly escape.
Deep Sea King looked at the human in front of him, who wasn’t even as tall as his calf, yet had forced him, the mighty Deep Sea King, into such a predicament.
How humiliating!!!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to make a deal with Rimuru, before he could speak, Black Flames began to burn on his body, and his hydrated state instantly vanished.
Rimuru wasn’t going to waste words with this guy.
After all, there was so much good food waiting for her outside; why waste time here?
Raising her right hand, which had canceled the Body Armor, she snapped her fingers.
Black Flame appeared on Deep Sea King’s body.
Listening to Deep Sea King’s wails, Rimuru frowned beneath her mask.
“This guy is so noisy.” She said with some distaste, immediately intensifying the flames.
Deep Sea King was burned to ashes in the next moment.
The sticky threads and steel wires were also retracted by Rimuru, and she walked straight out of the shelter.
However, she forgot that it was still raining outside, ruining what was supposed to be a cool exit.
The moment Rimuru stepped out of the shelter, she was instantly drenched.
Rimuru looked up at the sky full of dark clouds, raised her right hand, and released a Spicy Scorpion into the sky.
The thick cloud layers instantly parted, and sunlight once again shone upon the earth.
Seeing the sun out, Rimuru nodded in satisfaction, used magicules to flick the rainwater off her clothes, took out her phone, and sent a message to Saitama, then left the area.
What Rimuru didn’t notice was that her actions had just been fully recorded by someone and uploaded to the internet.
The video became extremely popular just ten minutes after being uploaded.
Especially since the video had caught the attention of the Hero Association’s higher-ups.
The higher-ups immediately held a meeting, and half an hour later, the Hero Association’s executive meeting concluded.
At the same time, all S-Class Heroes were once again summoned to the Hero Association Headquarters.
Rimuru, who was happily feasting with Saitama at J-City’s snack street, suddenly had her mood ruined by the summons to a meeting.
She had initially thought about pretending not to see the message, but the next moment, the Hero Association called.
Rimuru immediately silenced her phone and put it back in her pocket.
“I don’t know anything, I didn’t see anything, I’m just out having fun.” She muttered to herself and continued her food tour with Saitama.
However, less than ten minutes later, Hero Association staff appeared beside Rimuru, telling her to attend the meeting.
Of course, the staff’s words were extremely humble, but the core of the conversation was still to get her to the meeting.
Rimuru sighed.
It was already the third time; she had no choice but to go.
But the Hero Association was truly annoying; they didn’t give her any free time at all, even though she had just finished fighting Deep Sea King.
Saitama watched Rimuru being called away, took a bite of the squid in his hand, blinked, and continued his food tour.
“Ah, the snacks here are really delicious.
No wonder that Little fellow Rimuru was so obsessed with them.” “Since you’re going to work, I’ll take care of everything!
I’ll eat your share too, Rimuru!” Just as Saitama was being self-indulgent, Rimuru had already boarded the car to A-City.
Half an hour later, Rimuru appeared at the entrance of the A-City Hero Association Headquarters, walking with the staff member who had come to find her, towards the higher floors.
After quite a bit of turning and winding, they finally stopped in front of a door.
The staff member brought Rimuru there, then turned and left.
Rimuru pushed the door open and found that she was the last to arrive.
However, Rimuru felt no shame.
She looked around and saw that only the seat next to Tatsumaki was empty.
She walked straight over and sat down.
She could clearly feel that, apart from Tatsumaki, Bang, and Genos, almost all the heroes were observing Rimuru.
However, because Rimuru was wearing a mask, no one could tell what expression Rimuru currently had.
