"Let me introduce you. This is Kevin, the manager currently in charge of operations here at the Brave Association."
King entered the Brave Association's headquarters under the guidance of Ignatius.
This place resembled the Hero Association quite a bit. Whether it was the architectural style or the management methods, they were almost cut from the same cloth.
"This is King, a human who has just joined the Brave Association. When the Church was surrounding and annihilating the Leopard Tribe, he was the one who saved my sister." Ignatius introduced him happily.
Kevin was a young human who looked refined and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
"It seems the Church's actions are becoming more and more frequent. Recently, it hasn't been a good time for subjugation operations."
Kevin pushed up his glasses and looked King up and down. Although they were of the same race, he still looked at him with skepticism. After all, these were special times.
"Alright, King has a record of slaying a God's agent." Ignatius stepped out in time.
He didn't want King to have a bad impression of the Brave Association, as the other party had saved his sister, regardless of anything else.
"To think such a thing happened. However, it still needs to be investigated and verified. Which God's agent of the Church did you slay?" Kevin was exceptionally vigilant and wouldn't believe King based on just a few words.
"I think his name was something like Warren." King didn't mind.
If the Hero Association back then had been this cautious, they wouldn't have let Neo Heroes and the Monster Association infiltrate so easily. The Brave Association here was on the cutting edge every day, so being cautious was inevitable.
"Butcher Warren?!"
"I, on behalf of the Brave Association, welcome you to join. However, we will still verify your identity further." Shock appeared in Kevin's eyes.
After all, Warren was notoriously infamous in the Dimensional City. Countless races that opposed the Church had died miserably at his hands. Being crowned with the title of 'Butcher' was enough to show how bloodthirsty he was. Likewise, it also reflected Warren's strength.
The Brave Association had launched subjugation operations against him several times, all of which ended in failure. It was unexpected that he had died at the hands of King now.
"That is only right."
King smiled and indicated he didn't mind, which caused Kevin's attitude toward him to soften quite a bit.
"Don't mind it. After all, these are special times, and the screening is quite strict. Once the matter regarding Warren is confirmed, we will issue you a Dimensional Stone."
Bidding farewell to Kevin, Ignatius took King around the Brave Association base.
The scene here was completely different from the outside world. Most members were busy, and among them were many races who had been hunted by the Church and had come to take refuge.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people in just one branch." King remarked with emotion.
The 10th Galaxy was countless times larger than Earth's galaxy, and the planet he was on alone was over a hundred times the size of Earth.
"They were forced into this. The outcome of resisting the Church is either annihilation or becoming a slave." Anger flared in Ignatius's eyes.
The Church's poisoning of the 10th Galaxy had gone deep into the bone marrow. Even if one submitted to the Church, life wouldn't be easy. Everyone in the tribe would receive the baptism of Divine Power, and their consciousness would be subtly controlled by the Church.
Those with a little strength would become believers of the Church, step by step developing towards becoming a God's agent. And most ordinary tribesmen would be reduced to slaves of the Church, constantly exploited, digging for resources on the planet day and night until they died.
"Ignatius, how could you bring an outsider into the Association during such a special time?" A heavy voice rang out.
King looked up and saw that the newcomer had explosive muscles all over his body, making one able to feel the terrifying power contained within.
"Talon, this is a human who has just joined our association, King." Ignatius's expression was calm.
At this moment, including him, there were three S-Class Heroes guarding this place.
"A human?"
Talon looked at King with a skeptical gaze, then looked at Black Sperm and Rover.
"You are too careless. Don't you know the methods of the Church?"
"What did you say?" Ignatius's expression changed.
Without warning, Talon punched toward King.
Boom!
King's expression didn't change. He threw a punch to counter, his body didn't move an inch, while Talon retreated several meters.
"That's strong power! I didn't expect there to be someone like you in the Church!"
Talon's expression became excited, but at this moment, Ignatius and Ivery both stepped out.
"Enough, Talon! You're mistaken, King is not a spy for the Church."
"You are too naive, which is why the Association's subjugation operations fail repeatedly." Talon shook his head in disappointment, ignoring Ignatius's words.
"King couldn't be a spy. He slew the God's agent Warren, as well as many other Church members."
Ivery's words piqued Talon's interest, and he looked at King again.
"Him? He could kill the Butcher Warren?"
Talon wore an expression of disbelief.
"Kevin has already gone to investigate. Let's wait until the results come out." Ignatius's temper flared up.
King was, after all, his sister's savior. He didn't expect him to be targeted right after joining the Brave Association. This was clearly not taking him seriously at all.
"Hmph! I'm afraid that before the results come out, the Church's army will have already conquered this place."
"Talon, if you aren't convinced, I can play with you."
Boom!
A massive amount of flames erupted from Ignatius's body, and a terrifying high temperature spread outward.
"Fine, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Anger flashed in Talon's eyes.
The two refused to give an inch.
"If I defeat you, that should prove my identity, right?" King's voice suddenly rang out, which made Ignatius pause slightly.
"Hahaha! Arrogant kid, if you can defeat me, I will tentatively believe that Warren died at your hands." Talon laughed endlessly. He certainly didn't believe King could defeat him.
"Talon! You need to change your temper. Don't push people away, this isn't the style of the Brave Association." Another voice suddenly rang out.
A man with long blue hair and tattoos all over his body slowly walked out.
"I didn't expect him to be here too." Ivery's eyes held some surprise.
Evidently, she didn't expect there to be so many S-Class cadres at the Brave Association today.
"Do you know him?" King asked curiously. He could feel the surging power within the man.
"Of course. They are both S-Class Heroes. The Martial Arts Hero, Talon. The Lightning Hero, Raven."
Even she rarely saw more than three S-Class Heroes on ordinary days. Unless there was a particularly large subjugation operation, the heroes rarely gathered together. This was also to prevent being wiped out in one go. Moreover, they usually had their own areas of responsibility and had tasks to execute at any time.
"So they are both S-Class Heroes. Since that's the case, let's not waste time. Come at me together." King said.
