"If you’re that angry, then leave, or do you want me to escort you out?"
Looking at the flaming muscle head in front of him, Sentinel couldn’t help but sneer.
"Hey, torchlight, do you really think that number two title of yours means you can go crazy?"
"If you really want to fight, then let’s go at it, don’t mind me beating you now and that Imperion kid after this."
Taking out his cigarette, Sentinel, after keeping silent for a bit, decided not to back down.
Sure, he might not be able to win, but he was sure as hell this giant light bulb of a hero wouldn’t be able to easily defeat him too.
Thinking of this, his skin turned black as his special ability activated.
The Iron Fortress!
As an S-class hero, he possessed the S-class ability Iron Fortress.
An ability which granted him not only almost impenetrable defenses, adaptive evolution, pain nullification, and extremely slow aging.
Although he looked around forty, he was already over eighty. His ability awakening had reversed his aging.
Making him the oldest hero in the team.
Because of that, not only had he experienced the last superhero and villain war, but he had also experienced the mortal world wars before, making his personality somewhat extreme.
A situation which everyone knew, but then again, who among the twelve didn’t have their own issues?
So, seeing Sentinel not backing down, Solaris also made his move, smiling from ear to ear.
"It’s that so, old man? Then let’s go at it! I haven’t had a good fight in ages, I might as well test if you’re really indestructible."
Flaring up his hair in response, Solaris stared at him with a ferocious smile.
Neither of them wanted to be outdone. If nothing else happened, then right here, right now, both of them were about to go at it.
Fortunately, just when it seemed like everyone was going to ignore them and let them fight.
A voice of reason suddenly spoke, shutting them down.
"Ugh..."
"Will both of you shut up? If you don’t keep quiet now, I’ll fight both of you."
"As much as I don’t like Imperion, but Solaris is right. With the current state of New Geneva, it’s understandable he’s late."
"Now both of you shut up and give me some peace and quiet!"
Wearing a pure black costume and black mask with a symbol of a silver moon on his chest.
The world’s third strongest hero, Crescent Moon, suddenly spoke.
Still with his eyes closed, he held a pair of crescent-shaped boomerangs in his right arm, threatening to let them loose if the two continued.
A move which caused both parties to calm down.
In the League of Heroes, if there was a poll to ask who was the scariest hero, 9 times out of 10, Crescent Moon would be the one to win the poll.
In charge of the City of Eternal Night, Noctis, not only is he extremely gruesome when dealing with criminals, but he is also hailed as one of the world’s greatest minds and detectives.
To make this worse, only very few people know who he is behind the mask.
With his gruesome and skeptical personality, most people and heroes alike try not to get on his bad side.
So, seeing him speak up, the hall once again fell silent...
It wasn’t until around ten minutes later, when everyone was getting impatient, even Crescent Moon was getting ready to leave.
A change suddenly occurred.
Boom!
Descending from the ceiling with a familiar laugh, Imperion, with Lilith in his hand, fell from the sky.
"Hahaha, sorry for keeping everyone waiting!"
"Shall we get this meeting started?"
Still smiling at everyone present, Imperion slowly began scanning all the heroes present.
......
[Ethan Pov]
Descending from the sky, with Lilith in his hand, Ethan, as an avid reader of the book, couldn’t believe the very heroes he read about were right before him.
’Solaris the Sovereign of the Sun, Sentinel the Iron Wall, Crescent Moon the Dark Strategist!’
’I Can’t believe I’m meeting all these people! Even the others, although the rest seem to be holograms. Perhaps they couldn’t make it, but I can make out a few of them.’
’Over there should be Leviathan the Ocean Lord, and beside him Gia the Mother of Eden!’
’In the original book, at their peak, these twelve were so powerful that they could have easily destroyed my former world.’
’Had it not been for the fact that their views were different and villains with equal strength, if not stronger, existed. This would have been the world of heroes!’
Talking to himself, Ethan slowly calmed himself down. Right now, he wasn’t some fanboy reader.
Rather, he was the world’s strongest hero, Imperion! If he behaved out of character, especially now that he was weakened, it would be the end for him.
Especially when he knew a few of them were already wary and jealous of the original Imperion, he couldn’t afford to let them know he was weakened in any way.
Thinking of this, setting Lilith down in her seat, he sat down beside Solaris before throwing his arm over him.
"Haha, if it isn’t Solaris, you should stop by New Geneva more often, I hear Sol City is a bit boring these days.
"And isn’t this old man Sentinel? Recently I saw quite an interesting young hero on the news, isn’t it time for you to retire?"
"He would make an excellent replacement!"
Thinking of Arthur’s bloody figure in the news, Ethan couldn’t help but make a joke.
If he remembered right, the original Imperion always pretended to be hyper and nonchalant when talking to the other heroes.
If he wanted to stay alive, that meant he couldn’t afford to be silent, even if it meant provoking them.
Fortunately, it seemed to work as neither Solaris nor Sentinel seemed angry as they heard him say this.
Rather, Sentinel just took out another cigarette and ignored him.
While Solaris just gave him a slight nod, not saying a word.
It wasn’t until a few seconds passed that Crescent Moon, after giving Imperion a quick scan, both up and down, spoke up.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, time for the main agenda of today’s meeting."
"What do you all think of the Federation’s Superhero Act, and have you heard of the organisation, Chimera Labs?"
