"Psychokinesis…? Me? How is that possible!"
Although Han Sen and Saitama's reactions were calm, King, as the person involved, couldn't remain still.
He was just an ordinary otaku who, due to his naturally louder heartbeat, was mistakenly identified as a hero. In reality, he had only just developed a bit of muscle, and his terrifying strength, which intimidated others, was entirely based on their imagination…
How could he awaken Psychokinesis!
Seeing King's bewildered expression, Han Sen smiled and didn't explain the reasons in detail.
Of course, he wouldn't say that King had eaten at least half of a Dragon-level Monster's essence last night, and it was even a version purified by his divine power.
Oh, no, it was hotpot ingredients.
If he really said that, King would probably be scared to death.
From a normal person's perspective, Monsters…
Are those edible?!
"The reason is…" Han Sen deliberated, then simply explained, "Well, it's probably related to the special ingredients you ate last night."
"Hmm, dietary supplements are indeed very important!" Fortunately, before King could ask further, Saitama, who was nearby, chimed in, nodding in agreement, "No wonder your heartbeat has been getting louder and louder recently!"
King: "…"
—Sorry, my natural talent in this area is disturbing the public…
Saitama's reaction was completely unsurprised.
Before he met Han Sen, he often used edible parts of Monsters to make soup. Not only did it taste good, but it also saved him a lot on food expenses.
Given his tight financial situation, which involved doing odd jobs between his hero activities, it really helped him a lot!
Han Sen knew from Saitama's expression that his focus was definitely off, but he was also amazed.
He had originally just tried it out of curiosity, never expecting that, under the combined influence of King's Strong Luck and the idealistic rules of this world, the effect would be outstanding!
A Monster hotpot actually caused a massive eruption of King's latent potential.
He had taken the most substantial step towards becoming the invincible Strongest Hero on the Surface in everyone's mind!
—It really is… an absurd and interesting world.
Han Sen patted King, who was still in shock and confusion, on the shoulder, pulled him to the balcony, and whispered, "Don't be anxious, this is a good thing."
"From today onwards, train your Psychokinesis well. Perhaps one day, you will truly be the Strongest on the Surface."
"The Strongest on the Surface… Me?"
—You're joking, right…?
King's mouth twitched. With his unmotivated personality, such a grand ideal…
Although it sounded cool, and even subtly stirred a hint of longing within him, but!
It's far less relaxing and enjoyable than staying at home playing games!
Han Sen saw through King's thoughts, but he didn't force anything, merely giving a simple reminder: "Slowly familiarize yourself with this power, control it, and you will become stronger."
Judging from his performance in the original timeline, King's heroic heart is beyond doubt.
Whether voluntarily or passively, having been pushed to the position of the Strongest on the Surface, he was able to overcome his fear and stand before the Dragon-level cadres of Monsters who had routed the S-Class Heroes.
Delaying for crucial time and summoning the Cosmic Garou as a pinch hitter (substitute fighter) was a great achievement!
Han Sen paused, revealing a friendly smile: "By the way, if you still want to eat the special ingredients from yesterday, I have plenty, enough to go around!"
He really did have plenty.
Han Sen had already decided to contact Genus in a moment.
Firstly, to strengthen the mass-produced Ashura Army, and secondly, when preparing them, to try and make their meat quality and taste reach the level of top-tier ingredients.
(Genus: I often feel out of place with my boss because I'm not crazy enough on the path of evolution.)
The first point is easy to understand.
With Han Sen's current strength, even mass-awakening hundreds or thousands of Dragon-level Monsters would be a piece of cake.
The strength limitations of the mass-produced Ashura Army could naturally be lifted, and they could even be strengthened further to extract more Origin Points.
For the second point, Ashura is too big to be used for hotpot, which seems a bit unsuitable.
But deep-fried, it would definitely be fragrant!
…
…
A-City, Hero Association Headquarters.
As expected of a steel tower built with astronomical funds, the previous indiscriminate bombing by Vaccine Man…
Didn't affect it at all.
Perfectly illustrating what it means to be—
Luck is also part of strength!
However, the grandeur of the building and the abundance of funds could not hide the pervasive sense of oppression and anxiety within.
Post-disaster reconstruction, public questioning, pressure from the shareholders' association…
These invisible mountains weighed heavily on the executives, who urgently needed to do something to boost morale and restore the association's recently declining public support rate.
However, these were only matters for the association's executives to ponder; the heroes were still carrying out their daily activities.
As usual.
Boom—!
The remains of a completely collapsed skyscraper were forcibly pulled from its foundation by an invisible immense force, casting a heavy shadow over an area of several hundred meters.
A petite figure floated in mid-air, emerald green Psychokinesis flames rising intensely around her like a burning nebula.
The terrifying energy fluctuations emitted even caused the air to visibly distort!
Tatsumaki had a delicate but extremely impatient face, her slender arms seemingly waving casually.
Under her will, the tens of thousands of tons of building remains were precisely dismantled in the air.
Twisted steel bars were straightened and pulled out, bundled into bundles like soft noodles.
Large concrete blocks were compressed and shaped into uniform cubes.
The entire process was smooth and efficient, far exceeding the combined efforts of hundreds of professional construction teams nearby.
However, Tatsumaki, doing such earth-shattering work, pouted boredly.
Let alone Dragon-level, in these past few days, even Demon-level Monster alerts were rarely sounded.
Just like the Demon-level disaster reported in M-City yesterday, before she even arrived, a hero reported that the threat had been dealt with.
As a result, she, the association's strongest ace, could only stay in the ruins of A-City, acting as a free crane!
"Hmph—if it weren't to rebuild the city and restore order as quickly as possible, I wouldn't bother moving bricks here…"
"Tsk, what a hassle!"
She clicked her tongue in annoyance, her Psychokinesis erupting again, sending a block of waste material the size of a small mountain flying towards the designated recycling area in the distance.
Just then, her movements suddenly paused, and a hint of surprise flashed in her emerald green eyes, which looked down upon all beings.
A very familiar Psychokinesis fluctuation, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, created an almost imperceptible ripple in her perception.
That Psychokinesis fluctuation was…
That man!
Han Sen!
Although it was extremely faint, almost impossible to detect, as if perfectly contained within his body by some higher-level power, with no leakage whatsoever.
But that unique quality, that quality that made her instinctively feel a hint of threat, Tatsumaki would never mistake!
But… the feeling was completely different!
Her mental power instinctively traced back, attempting to peer into the source of that fluctuation.
If, during their last meeting, Han Sen's spiritual world was a seemingly calm but turbulent deep lake.
Then now…
It could no longer be called a lake.
Tatsumaki's perception merely brushed against it, and like a drop of water merging into the ocean, it instantly lost all direction and reference.
That was a vast, boundless, silent deep sea connected to unknown dimensions!
Her Psychokinesis, at the edge of that spiritual world, was as minuscule as a speck of dust.
