Chapter 99 – #100 Siren’s Heart Battle (2)
#100 Siren’s Heart Battle (2)
‘Also.’
I thought the genifier would come out. His psychic power was lightning, especially a hero specializing in wide-area attacks.
There are so many precious bodies in the museum, so I thought that the Genophis would come out where they could use their abilities without restrictions.
“You guys go.”
“Yeah! Move as you organized yesterday!”
There were a total of two orders given to the gangsters without superpowers.
One to blow smoke bombs, and the other…
“Aaaaagh!”
“Kel kel keel! Break everything!”
It’s just causing chaos in the city. They threatened the citizens who were walking on the streets and destroyed whatever they came across.
“Kill… Don’t get hurt!”
“Quaaaaah!”
“Hey wait! The boss told me not to touch the kids and their mother!”
“Oh right. I’m sorry. Let’s go quickly.”
“Hey!”
They didn’t touch a hair on a family with kids. I knew very well that if I messed with the kids, they would fall behind me, so they faithfully followed my orders even in the midst of chaos.
“Damn it! You guys stop those bastards! I’ll deal with the steel armor!”
“But…”
“What are you doing! Go quickly!”
“Oh, I see!”
The A-class heroes who came out with the genifier left to stop the gangsters. In front of the museum, only me, the genifier, and the fainted hero were left.
“What are you doing here? Are you aiming for the heart of a siren?”
“Of course. If that’s not the case, there’s no reason for me to come here, right?”
“…I was a fool for thinking you were a good guy for a moment.”
The genifier said indignantly. Maybe it was because of teaming up with me and taking on the Shadow Killer, but he seemed to like me.
“I’m a good guy. I just do whatever it takes to achieve my goal.”
“I don’t call a good person a person who doesn’t choose the means and methods.”
“Is that so? That’s really sad.”
I shrugged.
“What’s more? If you’ve fought me personally, you’d know that? If you give me the Siren’s heart, I’ll quietly leave. Isn’t it much better than getting more people hurt?”
“It can’t be. Siren’s heart contains the souls of their seniors. And…”
His eyes, which were staring at me as if recalling something, became blurred for a moment. But it soon got back to normal. The genifier looked at me with hostile eyes.
“You’ll have to climb over my corpse to get the siren’s heart.”
“Yes? Then I will step on your corpse today. That’s very sad. I liked you just as you liked me. You were a good ride, Gamabunta.”
“What?!”
“Oops!”
I threw myself at the genifier.
“Arachnidize!”
Zener Pyder’s body swelled rapidly, and four legs protruded from his sides. After becoming a gigantic spider, Zener Pyder hurled lightning at me.
Pajijik-!
“Kup!”
As the lightning ran through my body, I groaned spontaneously. But it wasn’t that painful. It’s because the suit that old Peter made blocked some of the lightning.
Exciting! Suits are the best!
“Let’s go!”
“Kyaaaaagh!”
My fist collided with the head of the genifier.
*****
“What’s the matter?”
“Could it be the villains?”
“How are we?”
The people who became anxious at the sound coming from outside murmured. If left unattended, there would be great confusion.
“Dignified guests! Calm down!”
At that time, Samuel, the director of the Akradan Museum, opened his mouth in a loud voice.
“Right now, tough guys who are S-class heroes and brave A-class heroes are with us! No matter what villain comes, the heroes will keep you safe, so don’t worry!”
This time the tough guy opened his mouth.
“That’s right. Even if it costs us our lives, we will protect you!”
“I see. There’s a tough guy who’s not another hero, so what’s going on?”
“Besides, the hero who left now is the same S-class hero, Zenafider-sama. There are two S-class heroes, so what could happen?”
When the tough guy, an S-class hero, came out, the panicked people regained their stability. The presence of two S-class heroes in this place made them feel relieved.
Tough Guy has been a hero of dignity who has firmly held his place as an S-class hero for over 20 years.
As the vanguard of the Hero Association along with the now retired president Valencia, he was a hero who arrested many villains and saved people.
With the person who could be called the symbol of the Hero Association present here, the confused atmosphere quickly calmed down.
‘Is the genifier absent?’
On the other hand, there were also people with shining eyes. One of them was Stephanie Yu, Steel Armor’s biggest competitor and mother.
People didn’t really understand what the fact that the Genafiler went outside even though there was an A-class hero.
It means that the villain that has appeared outside is an opponent that cannot be stopped unless the S-class hero, the Gena Fighter, directly steps forward.
The only opponent an S-class hero had to step up to was the only S-class villain in Dark City.
‘Who is it?’
The names of S-class villains passed through her mind. Whoever he was, he was truly grateful.
Just as the S-class hero was an obstacle to Steel Armor, the S-class hero was also an obstacle to the couple.
He planned to deceive the eyes of an S-class hero and steal the heart of a siren, but unlike other times, the probability of success was quite low. However, since one of them went outside, the odds of success increased dramatically.
“Mom.”
“Huh?”
Then, Gina held Stephanie’s hand. Next to her was her son Jeong-nam.
‘Ah!’
In hindsight, Stephanie realized that she had her own children in this place who wouldn’t hurt to put them in her eyes. In thinking about stealing the heart of the siren, she forgot her most important fact.
Unlike her psychic self and her husband, her two children did not have psychic powers.
If an unfortunate incident occurred here, Jeongnam and Gina could have been hurt.
‘I can never do that!’
My head, which had been flushed with excitement, became cold as if it had been splashed with cold water.
Of course, the siren’s heart is a treasure that cannot be obtained even if you spend astronomical amounts of money. But more precious than those treasures were the children.
‘I have to protect these children!’
Even if it meant giving up treasure, he had to protect his children.
“Don’t worry. You guys…”
“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
“Huh?”
When her words were intercepted, Stephanie put on a bewildered expression.
‘Come to think of it…’
Looking closely, both Jungnam and Jina did not look frightened. It was a determined expression, as if he was determined for something.
“Oh, no. Mom will protect you guys…”
“No! Mom, I’ll watch over you!”
“Hey, if you’re interested, protect me too.”
“You live on your own!”
“It’s too much, really.”
“…Don’t get away from me.”
“Huh? What?”
“It’s noisy! You have to find your own way to live!”
“Put.”
Seeing her sons and daughters arguing, Stephanie burst into laughter.
*****
The director sprinkled seawater on the siren’s heart to reassure the people. Then, a beautiful melody flowed from the drop-shaped jewel.
A song with only ‘Ah~’ as the lyrics. However, people found peace of mind in the sound of singing from the heart of the sirens.
So no one noticed.
Jureureuk-!
That water drips down the wall.
*****
“Kyaaaaagh!”
While screaming, the Zenerfilter madly spewed lightning. Even though there were wounds and blood flowing everywhere, the Zenaphider did not stop attacking me to drive it away.
He was not afraid of getting hurt, as the saying goes that he would have to climb over his own corpse to take the siren’s heart.
“Oh, it’s hard.”
“Hajah… Hak! Hajak…”
I had no choice but to step back, and only then did I look at the sighing Zenefider.
“Hey, Gamabunta, no, Genophider. What the hell is the reason for doing this?”
“I’m just… Doing my job…”
“Isn’t your job to protect the citizens? Aren’t you supposed to protect the siren’s heart? No one inside touches you? I’ll just take the siren’s heart with me. So get out of the way.”
“I can’t… I can’t…”
“Oh, that’s going crazy.”
He had said he would kill the genifier, but in reality he had no intention of doing so.
The Hero Association is wary of me, but doesn’t try to arrest me. If you try to arrest an S-class villain, a lot of blood will inevitably flow, so you don’t touch the S-class villain.
And the S-class villains are also well aware of that fact, so they don’t hurt the hero recklessly. Especially S-class heroes.
There are some things that are hard to kill, but if you decisively kill an S-class hero, then you have to fight an all-out war with the Hero Association. An S-class hero died, but the Hero Association did not stand still.
Ah, then what is the Shadow Killer who has been killing heroes? It’s because he’s so crazy.
And wasn’t the genifier a comrade who fought alongside me? I’m not a bad villain enough to kill a comrade.
“In the heart of a siren… The souls of seniors…”
“Didn’t you ever think that the seniors’ souls dwelling in the heart of a siren would beat the ground and wail when they saw their juniors risking their lives for nothing more than relics?”
“…”
At my words, the corner of the Zenifer’s eyes trembled. But he didn’t step out of my way all the way.
“My will remains unchanged. Kill me and go.”
“Killing is a piece of shit. What kind of Silmido is this?”
“What?”
I shook my head as if I couldn’t help it.
“This is the final offer, GENEFIDER! If you reject even this, then I will really kill you. So think seriously!”
“…”
“Let’s fight with a single shot.”
“… What?”
“I’m going to hit you with this fist. So, you too, fire the best attack you can at me. I’ll wait if you need time. Prepare the best attack you can.”
“…”
The genifier stared at me in disbelief. It’s such an unexpected proposal that you’ll just be embarrassed.
But I was sincere.
I had no intention of killing the genifier and had to get rid of him, so I made this suggestion.
Of course, the intention hidden in it was the key.
“What are you thinking?”
“Is there anything to think about? It’s just that I like you and I like you. If you don’t like it, should we have a dog fight between judges? I don’t care.”
“… Good night.”
The hesitant Zener Pyder nodded. It wasn’t a bad thing either.
Geeeeeing-!
There was a sound made when electricity flowed from the body of the genifier. Soon sparks came out.
It was the same technique he used to give the Shadow Killer a shot.
Soon after, the appearance of the genifier disappeared. It was hard to keep my eyes open because I was caught in his lightning.
As if the preparations were complete, the GENEFIDER took a step forward. I too slowly moved towards him.
And ran towards him.
“Ooooo!”
“Thunderbolt!”
A huge spear of thunder came flying to tear me apart.
‘Steel skin.’
While using the skill, I pushed myself directly into the spear of thunder.
‘Ugya gyaya gyakya!’
The suit and mask reduced the power of lightning, but it was a threatening attack nonetheless. Indeed, it was powerful enough to annihilate the shadow killer’s tentacles in one blow.
The skin inside the suit was distorted as if it had been touched by fire. But it soon recovered. It was thanks to the regenerative increase property of the body enhancer psychic power. The burned skin repeatedly twisted and straightened.
I felt unbearable pain, but I endured it. The pain tolerance trait helped a lot.
Step by step, I steadily moved forward, and in the past, I was able to stand in front of the genifier.
“Sleep for a while.”
“Quaaaaa
Bang-!
As it was, I hit the head of the genifier with all my might. A giant spider slammed his head into the ground. At that moment, the lightning that had tormented me disappeared.
“Huh! It was thrilling.”
His body trembled.
If you ask him to take the attack of Zener Pyder with his body again without a suit and mask, he will run away right away.
Anyway, after defeating the genifier, I looked around.
“Once you clear up to level 2.”
The first step was to bring the S-class hero out of the museum.
“It’s dark.”
Part of the city was blacked out by the lightning of the Genafilter. Of course, so was the museum.
Cut off electricity in this area.
That was my second-stage operation.
Now it was time to begin the third phase of the operation.
