Chapter 59: Demon King Demon! Haomeiwei
"Chapter 59: Demon King Demon! Haomeiwei
"This is a broadcast from the Hero Association, reporting on the monster rampage in J-City in real-time, bringing everyone good news. Three minutes ago, a Class-S Monster that appeared—the Demon King—has been successfully killed by King. At the same time, most of the people in M-City have already died, leaving only a small number of monsters to resist. We firmly believe that under the leadership of the Earth's strongest man, King, the heroes of M-City will soon eliminate the remaining monsters. Afterwards, we will continue to report related news. Please wait patiently for our wonderful voices."
The monster rampage in L-City has attracted the attention of the whole world. In the three years since the Hero Association was established, there has never been a monster incident of such a large scale. On this day, monsters seemed to descend from the sky and invade L-City, causing devastation and bringing great unease to the people of the world.
As soon as the Hero Association's broadcast came out, the people of the whole world immediately cheered.
"See, I told you King was here. Even a Class-S monster that has never appeared before is no match for him."
"Hmph, you're too boastful."
"Not boastful at all. We just need to know that King is the strongest man in the world. We have the most reliable protection. If there are monsters, there's King. Without him, there's no problem."
On the streets of various cities, people excitedly discussed topics related to King. The Hero Association's broadcast had brought King immense fame, causing countless young men to admire King and countless young women to fawn over King. In short, everyone was captivated by the powerful King and chose to forget about the monster-raising King.
It can be said that the Hero Association's broadcast had basically achieved its goal.
"L-City."
On the sea, Haomeiwei watched the gradually calming sea with satisfaction. His son, Haomeiwei, had finally chosen to brave the great sea and choose freedom.
"Haomeiwei, father and son will meet very soon."
He had never worried that this separation would be forever. According to his plan, he would re-establish the ancient Demon King family on the continent, and let all the Demon Kings descend upon the earth again, re-experiencing the glory that deeply fascinated him.
He didn't have the ambition to rule the world, but only wanted to rebuild the Demon King family he loved and live happily on the ground together. However, humans would not tolerate their existence and would surely try their best to obstruct and kill monsters. Therefore, for the Demon Kings to reappear, they must rule the world and let the world only have Demon Kings, and no longer have those stupid humans.
"This is the latest broadcast from the Hero Association. Three minutes ago, King successfully killed the Class-S Monster—the Demon King—saving the city from fire and water once again. He is our great hero."
Just as Haomeiwei fell into deep thought, the monster alarm in the Hero Association's center in L-City broadcasted a piece of news that made him tremble. The only thing he had successfully cultivated into a monster was the Demon King—it had been destroyed.
"King? The strongest man on Earth? Your strength has deeply threatened the existence of my Demon King family. For my dream, you... cannot live in this world."
Haomeiwei's face suddenly became extremely ferocious. He had spent more than fifty years to successfully develop the Demon King Base Serum. The Demon King was dead, and he could only make another one. However, if King existed for a day, the survival of the Demon King race would be in danger every day. He could not tolerate... He could not tolerate others harming his beloved "family." Therefore, King... must die!
"Hah!"
He pulled out a needle from his mouth and pricked it into his face. He immediately let out a sky-shattering roar, and his body underwent some strange changes. His silver hair gradually fell out, his skin turned into scales, his thin body swelled up like a balloon, and his body grew larger and larger, bursting his clothes. His true form was exposed, his head changed, and he no longer had the five facial features of a human, but was like a ferocious beast. His body changed from a thin human to a giant monster tens of meters tall. His hands turned into sharp claws, and his feet became strong hind legs with sharp talons.
Haomeiwei had changed from head to toe, completely transforming into a monster tens of meters tall.
"Hah... Hahaha, I finally became the Demon King, I finally became the Demon King, ahaha, my dream, my pursuit, has finally not disappointed me..."
After transforming, Haomeiwei twisted his car-like head and scanned his new body. After realizing that he had indeed become the feared Demon King he had longed for, he immediately laughed wildly, and then cried. The crying and laughing, like a child who had received his beloved toy.
"Hah!"
He let out a loud roar and stomped his feet on the ground, running wildly in L-City. He rampaged through L-City, smashing through skyscrapers and residential buildings. He didn't care, he didn't care at all. He just wanted to become a Demon King like in his dreams for decades and run around the earth as he pleased.
Now, he had done it. He had become the top-tier gluttonous monster. The Demon King. This world... this world was all under his feet. He could trample on it wantonly. No one would try to stop him.
"Rumble, rumble!"
Haomeiwei ran rampant in L-City, smashing countless skyscrapers and crushing numerous cars. In just a dozen minutes, the entire L-City was smashed into the shape of a "日" character. In the middle, he forcefully stomped out a dividing line and a dead zone. L-City was thus roughly split into two halves.
"L-City resident: I'm '日'!"
"..."
"L-City."
"Hero Association Headquarters."
After Haomeiwei transformed into the Demon King and appeared in L-City, the Association immediately received relevant information. Okita, holding a pen, said: "L-City also has a monster? This is truly a shocking piece of news." He sternly ordered: "Immediately investigate the relevant surveillance footage of L-City and check the information about the monster."
"Yes."
Sharia tapped the keyboard with her fingers. In a moment, she retrieved the street surveillance footage of L-City. The information about the monster was also consolidated by her alone for easy viewing and analysis.
"This monster is..."
Okita stared at the special shot of the monster on the big screen. His pupils contracted. "This is the Demon King!?" If it were any other monster, he might not recognize it, but the Demon King was the most famous Demon King of the Demon King family. Almost everyone had heard of its name, and most people could recognize its imposing figure.
"He is... Haomeiwei?"
His thoughts turned rapidly. In the reports from the Association's staff before, Haomeiwei was also involved in the research of the monster base serum, and it was the research of the Demon King's base serum. Could it be that the monster appearing in L-City was truly Haomeiwei? Why did he appear in L-City and not M-City? Was his current path leading towards... M-City?
"Sharia, immediately inform the S-Class hero Puri-Puri Prisoner to intercept Haomeiwei!"
L-City is adjacent to J-City. With Puri-Puri Prisoner's speed, he should be able to intercept the Demon King before he reaches M-City.
"Yes, Director! I will go and inform him immediately!"
Okita pushed up his glasses and solemnly accepted the order. He turned and went to contact Puri-Puri Prisoner.
