One Punch Man King Engine - Chapter 96
Silence!
Silence!
The room was deathly silent!
The few people present stared blankly at King, who was still maintaining his punching posture.
Calm down, keep calm!
King took a deep breath and slowly straightened his posture. He was extremely puzzled. His strength should have surpassed the staff of the association, and the power in his punch should have surpassed the staff member’s attack. Why did the fighting robot not react to him? Did the fighting robot break?
He glanced at the fighting robot doubtfully.
Sneck and the others had the same suspicion. Even a dog could cause the fighting robot to react. A normal person’s punch should theoretically be within the detection range of the Bookworm, triggering the fighting robot’s defense. They could think of no other reason why the robot would ignore King’s punch.
Woof!
The dog in the iron cage finally recovered its strength. It rushed out of the iron cage and pounced on the fighting robot.
Child Emperor’s eyes lit up, and he ordered loudly, “Fighting robot. Report the dog’s attack trajectory.”
“Roger!”
The fighting robot’s mechanical eyes flashed, and it said coldly, “The target is about to jump and attack my breastplate!”
After the robot’s synthetic voice finished its announcement, the dog sprang to life. It barked wildly and jumped up with its four limbs, its sharp claws heading right into the fighting robot’s chest.
The fighting robot saw through everything. Its body moved just enough for the dog to miss it and fall to the ground.
“Target is ready to turn around and jump. It will open its mouth and bite my leg!”
The fighting robot’s cold voice declared again.
Sure enough, after the dog landed, it threw itself at the fighting robot again, unwilling to give up. Its target was the fighting robot’s calf.
“…”
The situation in front of him showed that the fighting robot was not broken. The Bookworm was also working normally, so there were only two explanations for why King’s punch did not elicit any reaction from the fighting robot. First, King’s punch was too strong, exceeding the upper limit of Bookworm detection. Second, King’s punch was below Bookworm’s lower limit and considered a harmless attack.
King’s heart collapsed. He understood himself best. The reason that the fighting robot didn’t react to his punch was definitely not because he was too strong. He was far too weak.
“System, come out and explain my current situation. Did you make a mistake?”
The attribute board clearly showed that his Strength had 7 points. His Strength was definitely better than the staff of the association. Why couldn’t he cause the fighting robot to react?
This was unreasonable!
“Ding! System did not find any mistakes. All data is normal.”
System quickly replied, indicating that everything was normal.
King was confused. The fighting robot was working properly, and System found nothing wrong either. Am I the one who made a mistake? Did my punch really exceed the test limit of the Bookworm?
No, whether it was the shining 7 points on System’s attribute board or the soft muscles on his body… Hey, wait a minute. Why am I still soft? Shouldn’t I be a muscular man with 7 points?
He hurriedly asked System, “Hey, System, have you forgotten to transform my body?”
System said coldly, “Ding, this System does not have the function of transforming the host’s body function.”
King was stunned, “If you do not transform the functions of my body, how did my Strength increase?”
“Ding! Please refer to the mecha!”
“Mecha?”
King was dumbfounded. It turned out that I became stronger because System gave me an invisible mecha. Thinking about it, the so-called Card possession actually had the same principle as a mecha. I only boarded various Monster mecha to fight. The attributes on the System panel, including Strength and Defense, were improving the invisible mecha around me rather than my own body. In other words, I actually still have the original King’s otaku body. My true strength was a weak chicken.
This reality… was too cruel!
At the same time…
“This strength…”
The corners of Sneck’s mouth twitched. This… was this person really stronger than me? Was he hiding his strength with that powerless punch?
Fast Fist Man was equally surprised. This person was Child Emperor’s joke, right? How could this kind of strength surpass us?
Child Emperor narrowed her small eyes. As expected of King. His ordinary punch actually surpassed the upper limit of the Bookworm. It was impossible to see the power of that punch at a glance. If he didn’t know that the person was King, no one would pay any attention to this “soft” punch!
How could one describe such monstrous power hidden behind the ordinary scene?
Returning to the basic form. That’s right, King’s strength had reached the point that he could exert great power through the perfection of the basic form. What a terrifying uncle!
Tanktop Boxer was stunned at first, but he then laughed out loud, “Hahaha, no reaction… I thought he was some powerful Hero. Turns out he’s just a dog. Oh wait, even a dog can make a robot feel threatened, but his attack actually didn’t. He is less than a dog.”
He was already uncomfortable when Sneck, the A-class Hero, was mentioned after him in the order of the experiment. He didn’t expect that there would be a guy whose name he didn’t know, who didn’t show his appearance, to be mentioned after Sneck. It would be fine if the last guy was very strong, but the guy was so weak it’s ridiculous. This was simply an insult to him.
Child Emperor frowned. “Uncle Boxer, you are wrong. In front of this uncle, maybe we are worse than dogs!”
Tanktop Boxer sneered, “Child Emperor, you really know how to joke. I admit that there are many people stronger than us in the world, but who has enough strength to disregard us?”
If it’s just Tanktop Boxer, then he cannot deny that there are many people that can easily defeat him. But Child Emperor included himself, an S-class Hero, in his statement. How could anyone surpass even him?
Child Emperor licked the lollipop and glanced at King. He said solemnly, “There is one!” Uncle King was too strong. His ordinary punch had surpassed the detection range of the Bookworm. His strength far surpassed Superalloy Darkshine and the other S-class Heroes!
“There is?”
Sneck looked at the confident Child Emperor. His eyes narrowed. “Perhaps there really is the one known as the strongest man…”
“In the world!”
Fast Fist Man finished Sneck’s sentence, his voice filled with awe.
If there’s anyone that could look down on them like an insect, it could only be one man!
“Child Emperor, there is a limit to your jokes. We are adults; we have no time to listen to your childish jokes.” Tanktop Boxer curled his lips, pointed at King, and sneered, “Moreover, what kind of strong aura do you think he has? Mysterious? It’s just constipation…”
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly launched like a cannonball and hit the iron cage with a crisp sound.
“Ahem, which bastard attacked me? I will kill you.”
Tanktop Boxer bared his teeth in pain, his face full of anger. When he tried to stand up and see which bastard blindly hit him, his vision suddenly darkened. A figure stood in front of him. He suddenly raised his head and saw a white guard suit, a black cap, a cold face, and… three ferocious scars.
His pupils suddenly shrank. This appearance… this aura… these three scars… Hey, I seem to have provoked an extraordinary big shot!
King?!
“You annoy me.”
