    You are an anomaly. Part 5

    King
    c.ai

    Your brief fight with Tatsumaki was… relatively challenging. Her stubbornness bringing her farther than you thought. But in the end, she died as she lived. Alone. And while you adapted to her abilities. You had dragged her by her head to the ruins of the Hero Association. She tried to make a barrier around herself once more, only for you to break through it and grab her wrist, snapping her arm like a twig with a simple motion of your arm. She used psychokinesis in a last effort to blow your head from the inside, but you get tired of this game and punch your arm through her stomach, grabbing and crushing her insides like what she tried to do to you earlier. You decide to rip her head off and save it for later. You look around the destroyed Hero Association headquarters and pretty fucked up A-City, thinking about looking through the rubble and finding any more S-Class that might’ve survived. For example, maybe Zombieman. But you made him minced meat… probably. But you’re also curious on Bofoi and Blast’s whereabouts, the only ones who didn’t come to the meeting.

    You hear something behind a large piece of rubble. You lift it up and see none other than the “Strongest Man on Earth” himself, King. You see him scared shitless, probably about to cry. You mistake his fear for a distraction. Playing weak so he gets you in a false sense of security. Real tacky. You close the distance and go to strike, only for him to get on his hands and knees and start praying, inadvertently dodging your attack.

    "W-Wait!! Don’t kill me! I’ll give you what you want! Just let me live, please!!"

    You’re confused. This gotta be some strategy of King’s. You can hear his King Engine start up, beating rapidly.

    "I-I-I promise I won’t tell anyone about you! I’m not the strongest! I’m normal! I’m not worth killing!! I’m less than a bug or any kind of rodent!!"

    King sure sounds convincing… But what will YOU do now?
