Tatsumaki never imagined that people could be so immoral. Not only did he not delete the photos, but he even sent them to the general populace of Z City for viewing.

Moreover, the citizens' reaction was perhaps too enthusiastic. With the dragon-level disaster meteorite about to destroy the entire city in twenty minutes, they weren't even thinking of taking refuge...

Was his little piece of white cloth really that fascinating?

Really.

Tatsumaki didn't quite understand.

However, as a hero, Tatsumaki naturally couldn't lash out at the citizens, so her target of aggression naturally became Fang Mo.

"Wait for me in Z City, I'll come over and fight you again!"

Tatsumaki practically roared these words.

"Are you sure you want to come to Z City?" Unlike Tatsumaki's anger, Fang Mo was all smiles and teased, "The citizens here have already seen your 'benefits'... Next time we fight, they might even welcome you with fan signs."

As he said "welcome," Fang Mo deliberately emphasized his tone.

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Tatsumaki couldn't help but grit her teeth.

At this moment, she hesitated for the first time about something.

That was whether she should wear safety shorts on missions in the future, but wouldn't that make her seem too childish?

Just as Tatsumaki was pondering these thoughts...

Fang Mo, as if sensing something, looked up into the sky.

His gaze pierced through the clouds and the entire sky, seeing the giant meteorite in outer space that was plummeting down with enormous kinetic energy.

Based on its current trajectory...

Fang Mo also made a judgment that this meteorite would ultimately crash into the super meteorite crater of Z City.

"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore."

After making a meticulous judgment, Fang Mo no longer teased Tatsumaki over the phone: "My kidney stone is about to fall out, gotta hang up, otherwise I'll have to shove it back in if it falls to the ground."

"What? Kidney stone?"

Tatsumaki was stunned: "What kidney stone? Hey... hello!?"

Before she could finish her words...

The phone had already been hung up, leaving only silence.

And after hanging up, Fang Mo once again looked towards the people of Z City below.

Actually, according to Fang Mo's character, he didn't really care about the people below, but the problem now was... these guys were too enthusiastic.

If he didn't respond somehow, he'd feel like he was at a loss.

Since the meteorite hadn't fallen yet, teasing them a bit seemed fine.

With that thought...

Fang Mo quickly lowered himself and slowly drifted down.

"Hi, little citizens of Z City, how are you?" As he approached about ten meters from the ground, Fang Mo greeted the crowd with a friendly face: "Do you know who I am?"

"Who... who is this?"

However, the citizens of Z City were unexpectedly unimpressed, staring at Fang Mo with bewildered faces.

"It's not Tatsumaki-sama."

Some even began to despair, sitting down on the ground with a thud: "Now no one can stop the meteorite, we're all going to die."

"It's terrible, we're going to be crushed by the meteorite."

Hearing what the people around were saying, more and more citizens' faces showed signs of panic: "Damn, why is it Z City? If it were another city, it would be better. I don't want to die yet."

Of course, there were also some clever people who, after a moment's hesitation, quickly reacted.

One person suddenly looked up at Fang Mo and shouted: "You're a hero, right? Please take me away from this city. I don't want to die!"

"Huh!?"

Hearing him say this, others quickly realized something and immediately looked up at Fang Mo.

Right, although they didn't know who this guy was, he was probably a hero. After all, if he were a villain, he would have started attacking already, right? And most importantly, he could actually fly in the sky, maybe he really could take them away from this city?

"Quick! Take me away!"

So, the people immediately started clamoring: "Hero! Hero, please save us!"

"No! Save me!"

"I have old parents and young children! Save me first!"

"Nonsense! Your family is all in Z City, so what kind of person are you to run away first? Hero sir, don't listen to this despicable man's words, please save me first!"

...

Fang Mo looked down at the crowd of Z City.

Seeing their strong will to survive, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

He hadn't expected that the upper echelons of this world were already so rotten, but these people still wanted to survive. If it were his previous life... Probably upon the appearance of a meteorite, everyone would only applaud and greet it with enthusiastic smiles, waiting to exit the game.

"Motherf***er, lucky I died early."

Thinking of those vexing matters, Fang Mo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

As he cleared his mind of those thoughts, Fang Mo clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the ordinary citizens below: "Alright, alright, everyone just calm down."

When the citizens below heard the hero speak...

They also stopped their arguments.

"As you can see."

Fang Mo began by introducing himself with a smile: "I'm a hero from the Hero Association."

"I also know that none of you want to die, so please rest assured."

As he spoke, Fang Mo patted his chest with conviction, his tone gradually becoming more impassioned: "Ever since the day I became a hero, I've sworn to advance and retreat together with you all, and I will use my life to protect everyone here."

"Please rest assured, I will never abandon you!"

"Hero, hero!"

Hearing Fang Mo's words, the citizens immediately felt moved: "That's great, we're saved..."

But they had just relaxed when...

Fang Mo suddenly changed his tone.

"However, this meteorite is simply too large, even I can't stop it from landing, and of course, saving all of you is completely impossible."

Fang Mo's face showed a polite yet humorous smile: "So I've decided to die together with everyone!"

This statement...

Instantly brought the scene to a bizarre silence.

The citizens all looked bewildered, first looking up at Fang Mo, then down at each other, some even incredulously rubbed their ears, doubting if they had heard wrong.

And after going through these ups and downs...

The mental state of the citizens was obviously affected, with some people even trembling with anger, raising their hands and pointing at Fang Mo, wanting to curse out loud.

But when they saw Fang Mo's earnest expression...

They didn't know how to start.

Yeah.

How do you start?

He wasn't just thinking about escaping by himself.

He simply lacked the strength, but in order to adhere to his hero's creed, he was willing to die together with these ordinary people under the meteorite.

But the problem was... Even if he died with everyone, it was completely useless.

Many people still wanted to live, but the only hero on the scene was ready to die, so even if the ordinary people had a strong will to live, it seemed like there was nothing they could do.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene became incredibly heavy, full of despair.

Even many people had already accepted the fact and began saying their final goodbyes to their most important people.

"Sorry, my dear."

A potbellied middle-aged man suddenly looked deeply at the woman beside him: "I've been under too much pressure at work, perhaps neglecting your feelings. Now that I think about it, I'm such a fool. I originally worked so hard for you."

As the first person set an example, soon others were also moved by this emotion.

"Hey, old... mom!"

A typically arrogant and sarcastic teenage boy also spoke up, his gaze somewhat evasive as he looked down and said: "Anyway, I've always been grateful for how attentively you've taken care of me, it's been tough, mom... mom."

But just as everyone was opening their hearts due to despair...

A burst of laughter came from above.

"Hahaha!"

The crowd instinctively looked up, only to find Fang Mo unable to restrain himself from laughing aloud: "F***, I can't hold it anymore, this actually had an unexpected gain..."

"You..."

Seeing this guy suddenly laugh, the citizens below also realized.

They were obviously being played, their anger flaring up instantly, their mouths ready to say something, but before they could speak, Fang Mo suddenly interrupted them.

"Alright, alright, joking time is over."

Fang Mo said with a laugh: "Seeing as you've made me happy, I guess I'll take care of this meteorite for you today."

With that...

Fang Mo casually pointed towards the sky.

The crowd followed his gesture and saw that a terrifyingly large shadow had already appeared in the clouds nearby, obviously, the meteorite had entered the atmosphere.

And as the people stared blankly...

Fang Mo suddenly pulled his voice and shouted loudly.

"Brothers! There's nothing you can think of that I, Fang Mo, can't do!"

"Today I, Fang Mo, will attempt a stunt of a mid-air split to crush a big stone! Let you brothers see for yourselves, whether the stone is harder or my balls... Brothers, let's do this!"

As his words fell, Fang Mo suddenly burst forth with an immense aura.

In an instant, he transformed into a long rainbow, soaring towards the horizon with a tremendous roar, leaving only a loud booming sound behind.

"…What??"

As the citizens watched this scene, they were completely dumbfounded.

Now they really couldn't understand what was happening, they could only look at each other, their eyes filled with confusion, doubt, shock, incomprehension, and a mix of other emotions.

"Wait, I remember now!"

At that moment, a bespectacled youth seemed to remember something and pointed at the distant, meteor-like Fang Mo, shouting: "Didn't he just say his name was Fang Mo? If I'm not mistaken... he seems to be the newly advanced S-class hero from the Hero Association!!!"

"...Nani!?"

Hearing this, the citizens also showed shocked expressions.

"You mean the recently advanced S-class hero?"

"Could it be that he's that..."

"That's right, he's that newly advanced S-class hero, the Source of All Evil!" the bespectacled youth asserted confidently.

"The Source of All Evil..."

Hearing this strange hero name, the crowd was a bit at a loss for words.

Normally, this name didn't seem like one used to describe a hero, but for some reason, these citizens felt from the bottom of their hearts that this name was tailor-made for him, it was just too damn fitting, right?

"So this name really suits him..."

Hearing this, the first man who had emotionally bid farewell to his wife couldn't help but hold his forehead, but the next second, he suddenly turned to look at his wife.

His wife smiled and looked up at him, her eyes conveying the tenderness and love of their early days of marriage.

"But we have to admit."

"This guy is indeed a qualified hero..."

"…"

Anyway, what the citizens thought for the moment was left aside.

The camera shifted back to Fang Mo.

Since he had just teased these citizens a bit, there were only a few minutes left until the meteorite landed, so Fang Mo no longer delayed and immediately flew towards the Hero Association's building.

And at this moment...

Three figures were already standing on the rooftop.

Fang Mo took a quick look and saw one was a vibrant skinny old man, another was a giant metal robot, and as for the last one, it was Genos.

It had been mentioned before.

Fang Mo's test results had already come out.

So, like Fang Mo, Genos had also become an S-class hero in the association.

His hero name was relatively normal, called Demon Cyborg, not very cool, but certainly much better to hear than something like Cape Baldy or the Source of All Evil, right?

Seeing this, Fang Mo thought for a moment.

He immediately used teleportation to arrive at the rooftop of the Hero Association.

"Hmm? Is that you?"

Just as he landed, the giant robot suddenly turned its head, a somewhat muffled male voice coming from inside: "New S-class hero, Source of All..."

"If you dare say that name."

Before the giant robot could finish, Fang Mo directly interrupted him with an annoyed face: "I'll kill you right now."

"…"

Hearing this, the giant robot obviously paused, seeming not to understand why Fang Mo was so opposed to his own hero name.

Didn't all S-class heroes choose their own names?

He chose it himself and now he doesn't let others say it?

"…Alright."

After thinking for a bit, the giant robot didn't mind shaking its head: "Since you don't want to be addressed by your hero name, I'll just call you by your real name then. I've checked the association's records, you should be... Fang Mo, right?"

"That's me."

Fang Mo asked somewhat impatiently: "What's up?"

"Let me introduce myself first."

The giant robot began to speak: "I'm Metal Knight, ranked sixth among the S-class heroes of the Hero Association…"

"Oh, I know that."

Before the other party could finish, Fang Mo directly interrupted: "Not only do I know that, but I also know you're a science fanatic and an old acquaintance of Dr. Kuseno, by the way, your real name is Bofooe."

"…Who told you my real name was Bofool?"

The Metal Knight was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but retort: "My real name is Bofoi, actually."

"Close enough."

Fang Mo waved his hand indifferently.

"…Anyway, just call me Metal Knight, being called by my real name always feels weird."

The Metal Knight shook his head and said: "I originally came here with only one purpose, which was to use this meteorite to test the strength of a new weapon, but I didn't expect you to show up."

"Not like that, I live in Z City, okay?"

Fang Mo couldn't help but say: "If I don't come now, this meteorite is going to fall into my bladder."

"…"

Hearing this, Metal Knight fell into silence again, clearly not quite used to Fang Mo's way of speaking.

And after a short pause, he decided to get straight to the point.

"Fang Mo."

Metal Knight suddenly said, "Let's make a deal."
