He then brought up an event that everyone remembered as evidence: "Moreover, Mr. KING also... predicted the appearance of that giant meteorite in Z City last time."
"what?!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Atomic Samurai suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at King.
Flashy Flash also opened his eyes, no longer appearing indifferent.
Even the usually defiant Tatsumaki showed a surprised expression.
"Mr. KING clearly pointed out at the time that in the near future, a powerful force from the depths of the universe will descend upon Earth. The leader of this force will be far more powerful than any enemy we have encountered so far. Its goal is to find an evenly matched opponent. This battle will be inevitable and will cause devastating damage to Earth."
Sitch paused, giving the heroes present time to process this explosive information, before continuing:
“Mr. KING even made an accurate prediction of the other ship’s landing location—City A.”
An uproar erupted in the meeting room!
"You foresaw it a month in advance?"
"They even mentioned aliens and their landing site?"
"How is this possible? Does King also have precognitive abilities?"
The heroes' murmurs rose like a tidal wave, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at KING.
Genos's golden mechanical eyes were filled with shock as he suddenly recalled the scene after he and Saitama finished registering with the Hero Association.
Mr. King did say he wanted to speak with Mr. Sitch alone. Could it be... that was the time?!
"After the prophecy of the meteorite in Z City came true, the association's higher-ups raised the alert level for Mr. KING's prediction to the highest level!"
Sitch's voice rose eight octaves as he said, "We immediately strengthened City A's defense system to an unprecedented level! A huge amount of resources are being poured into it!"
He took a breath, then, in an incredulous tone, uttered the words that utterly shocked everyone:
“Mr. King… he not only foresaw this disaster, he even foresaw Lord Shibabawa’s death!”
These words were like a real bomb, exploding in the conference room!
"impossible!"
"This is absolutely a lie!"
Ignoring the gasps and questions from the crowd, Sitch, with deep regret on his face, continued:
Before leaving, Mr. King added a special note: "Please tell Lord Shibabawa that the weather has been dry lately. If you have a sore throat, do not eat throat lozenges, or it could be life-threatening."
“We told Grandma Shibabawa, and we also forcibly took away all the throat lozenges from her. We thought that would be enough, but who knew... who could have known... that she had secretly kept some for herself…”
The entire conference room seemed to explode.
If it's a prediction of an alien invasion, it can be loosely explained by intelligence and analysis.
So, to accurately predict that a great prophet would die for such an absurd and laughable reason as "eating throat lozenges"...
What an incredible ability!
This is completely beyond their comprehension!
Atomic Samurai's hand gripping the hilt of his sword trembled slightly.
Only now did he understand why Bangu had stopped him.
For the first time, a look of horror appeared on Tornado's face. She looked at King, but the man remained silent.
But the roar of the imperial engine sounded exceptionally loud to her ears at that moment!
"Lord Shibabawa's prophecy has made us completely believe that the crisis Mr. King mentioned is really coming."
Sitch's voice was filled with exhaustion and weakness. He looked at everyone and continued.
"Based on the information she left behind, and our interpretation of Mr. KING's prophecy, this disaster could very well strike any day within the next six months. Ladies and gentlemen..."
His gaze swept over every S-class hero present, his voice heavy and firm.
"We don't have time!"
Chapter 69 Alien Spaceship Attack!
The meeting room remained deathly silent.
The focus was not on the impending crisis that could destroy the Earth, but on the astonishment at how accurately King could have predicted it.
The prophecies of Grandma Shibabawa to date are almost all vague and require interpretation by the individual.
But KING's "prophecy" was so accurate it was as if it had been made!
The enemy comes from outer space, their target is City A, and they even know the details of how the prophet Shibabawa will die.
“This… is beyond the realm of precognitive abilities…” the S-rank 8 “Zombie Man” said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on KING.
"Are you kidding..."
The trembling tornado finally snapped out of her shock, her emerald green eyes fixed on King, trying to find even the slightest flaw in his poker face.
"If he's so powerful, how could I have been the first to arrive during the last Dragon-level disaster... This is just some kind of supernatural trick..."
She gritted her teeth, trying to deny the news that KING would make a prediction, "Don't think I'll believe that!"
However, before she could finish speaking, a sudden roar resounded throughout the entire Hero Association headquarters!
It wasn't the familiar "Emperor Engine" sound from the KING engine, but rather from the outside!
“Woo-woo-woo!!!”
This is not a drill, nor is it a regional disaster alert.
This is the highest level alert in City A's defense system, representing a "city-level threat of destruction"!
The piercing siren instantly echoed through every corner of City A, and countless citizens rushed out of their homes in terror, looking up at the sky.
At the Hero Association headquarters, blood-red alarm lights flashed wildly, illuminating the diverse expressions on the faces of the S-class heroes.
"Emergency Alert! Emergency Alert! A massive unidentified flying object has appeared over City A! Energy reaction...unmeasurable! Repeat! Energy reaction unmeasurable! It is breaking through the atmosphere! Predicted...predicted disaster level:—"
The operator's terrified screams came through the loudspeaker. Before he could finish explaining the level, a devastating shockwave swept in from outside the window!
Boom——! ! !
The entire Hero Association headquarters building emitted a loud explosion and began to shake!
The light tube on the ceiling shattered instantly, and rubble and dust rained down.
"Here it comes!" Sitch's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he gripped the edge of the table tightly to avoid falling.
The heroes' reactions, however, far exceeded those of ordinary people.
The moment the tremor occurred, they regained their footing, their fighting instincts instantly overriding any shock.
"Everyone! Attack immediately!" Atomic Samurai was the first to shout, and in a flash, he rushed towards the door.
"Tsk, they're here so soon? My bat is getting impatient!" The metal bat slung the bat over his shoulder, his eyes filled with a ferocious fighting spirit.
However, when they rushed out of the conference room and looked out at the sky through the huge, cracked floor-to-ceiling windows, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
A... a warship so huge it resembled a city!
It blocked out the entire sky, casting a shadow that enveloped the entire city of A.
The base was covered with cannons that gleamed with an ominous light, densely packed like a honeycomb, exuding an aura of destruction.
"This...this is what Mr. KING was talking about...the alien spaceship?" The Tank Top Venerable looked up, his strong legs trembling slightly for the first time.
"My God..." Pig God stopped stuffing snacks into his mouth and gazed at the horizon.
Before they could recover from the horrifying visual shock, at the bottom of the spaceship, tens of thousands of cannons simultaneously began to accumulate energy.
A purplish-black light shone from the muzzle of each cannon, and countless points of light converged together.
That will be a "rain" of energy projectiles covering the entire city!
"Oh no!" Metal Knight's robot issued an urgent alarm.
"According to calculations, the power of this shot is enough to completely wipe City A and the surrounding area off the map! The existing defense system... cannot withstand it!"
"What did you say?!" Sitch's heart sank to the bottom.
Despite Mr. KING's warning, they did their best to prepare, but was it all in vain in the face of such absolute power?
Just as the countless purplish-black shells were about to be launched, the ground in City A suddenly lit up with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
Om-! ! !
Centered on the new headquarters of the Hero Association, dozens of massive energy emitters hidden in various corners of the city were activated simultaneously.
Thick beams of blue energy shot into the sky, and at the critical moment, they intertwined to form a huge hexagonal energy shield above City A.
This is the Hero Association's "Ultimate City Defense System"—codenamed "Aegis"—secretly built by Metal Knight at the cost of astronomical sums of money and resources, based on King's prophecy!
The next second, the purplish-black cannonballs crashed down and collided violently with the blue energy shield!
Boom boom boom——!!!
The whole world seemed to have lost its sound and color.
The energy shield began to twist and deform violently the moment it made contact, and the blue energy light surged like boiling water, emitting a mournful cry of being overwhelmed.
The point of impact erupted with a dazzling light, like the sun, temporarily blinding everyone on the ground.
Immediately, a massive shockwave emanated from the point of impact, transforming into a visible white blast that spread wildly in all directions!
The tall buildings that were first hit were instantly cut in half by this shockwave, and then torn apart in the subsequent energy turbulence.
Streets, parks... all traces of human civilization were easily erased in the face of this astonishing destructive power.
City A is crying out.
The Aegis system lasted less than three seconds before shattering completely with a sharp, mournful cry.
The remaining energy surged in, turning the central area of City A into a giant crater.
However... City A was not completely destroyed.
The outer areas of the city survived the catastrophe.
