Chapter 351

From attacking the upper echelons of the Hero Association and capturing important personnel as hostages to the Freak Association's meeting to decide on the next course of action, all of it was orchestrated by Sikes. His goal was to declare war on the Hero Association!

And this was also tacitly agreed to by Maple Night.

This was because the materials provided for Pain's evolution were plentiful, and the other condition for evolution was intense battle. It had to reach its limits in battle and break through that limit, breaking through to a higher level of life!

Typical battles were naturally nothing to the divine tree, Pain. Therefore, if they were to fight, it had to be a large-scale battle —

Now.

It had already begun.

"That is to say, with that hostage, the Hero Association can't launch a large-scale long-range missile attack on us. They have to first rescue the hostage, which means that they have to come to a place we have prepared to fight us … Not a bad strategy."

Wandering Emperor crossed his arms in front of his chest as he spoke.

Sitting opposite him, Hero widened his four black eyes as he leaned back in his chair and said, "What's next is a direct declaration of war. Do you need me to do it?"

"There's no need."

Sikes controlled Big Eye and said calmly, "I've already planned everything. The declaration of war is about to begin. What's coming next will be the Hero Association's all-out attack. Perhaps all the S Class Heroes will be present, but with everyone gathered here, our combat strength will not be weaker than the Hero Association."

Upon hearing Sikes's words, the freaks on both sides of the table had different looks in their eyes.

Black Spermatozoon slumped on the table in a frivolous manner and said, "That's what you say, but among the S Class Heroes, that Thor will be very difficult to deal with, right? There's also Baldy Emperor. I heard that they are known to have combat strength at the Mythical level. Don't tell me you are treating us as cannon fodder. Once we are all dead, you and that fellow who claims to be Strange King will reap the benefits?"

Black Spermatozoon's words attracted the attention of many freaks. Some of them looked at Big Eye with a change in their gazes, revealing unfriendly looks.

Big Eye didn't show any signs of panic despite being stared at by several dragon-level freaks. Instead, he said calmly, "Thor and Baldy Emperor will naturally be dealt with by His Excellency Strange King. Of course, if you wish to challenge His Excellency Strange King, he will not avoid your challenge …"

As Big Eye's voice fell …

The shadow behind him suddenly lit up, and a huge eye appeared in the void behind him!

Immediately afterwards, a huge body emerged from the pitch-black shadows. Its ten tails swayed in the air like tentacles, and an oppressive and suffocating aura slowly spread out, causing the atmosphere in the entire hall to freeze.

Black Spermatozoon, Hero, Wandering Emperor, Ugly President … Many of the dragon-level freaks present felt a strong sense of oppression, and their gazes froze.

Gulp, gulp.

The ten-tailed Divine Tree Pain's body wriggled as it walked forward step by step. With each step, its body shrank a little. When it reached the right side of Big Eye, it had completely changed into a human form.

"All of you.

Do you want to challenge me? "

Divine Tree Pain raised its head and glanced at everyone with a condescending gaze. Its voice was cold and flat.

Black Spermatozoon, who was lying on the table, shrank back and muttered, "You're … One-Eyed Emperor. So you're the Freak King of the Freaks Association. Then I have no objections."

"What about you?"

Sikes controlled Big Eye to look at the other freaks.

Hero and the others looked at each other. They all felt the oppression of their life levels, and they all returned to their seats.

At this moment, Divine Tree Pain had devoured all the life force of the giant snake and Boros, and completed a small transformation. Its life level was slightly higher than Lilith's, and the freak cells in its body were naturally quite powerful!

This was the life level of a God-level freak!

Of course.

However, this wasn't enough. Compared to the main body, there was still a gap of more than ten times. Therefore, it had to dig out all the potential in its body and complete a huge leap in the truest sense of the word. Only then would it be able to catch up to the main body's life level!

"Since there are no objections, let's begin the operation according to plan. Our final battle with the Hero Association will be in three days. Everyone can go back and rest."

Sikes controlled Big Eye to speak calmly.

Hero and the others looked at each other and didn't express any opinions. They left the hall and disappeared into the corridor.

After seeing all the dragon-level freaks leave, Big Eye's body grunted and split from the middle.

Sikes crawled out of the crack. Her body was covered in milky-white mucus, but she didn't mind. After simply wiping the liquid off her face, she looked at Divine Tree Pain and said,

"Do you have any other opinions on the plan?"

"No."

Divine Tree Pain glanced at her and said calmly, "Just proceed according to the plan you set up."

Using hostages to decide on the battlefield in Z City's uninhabited zone was in line with Maple Night's thoughts. Fighting here would cause minimal damage to the human habitation zone.

Although he could also directly finish off all the dragon-level freaks and challenge Saitama to achieve the same effect, that would be too boring.

On the path of final evolution …

He still needed an audience.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless to evolve towards the highest level of life.

…

Hero Association headquarters.

The capture of Samman, one of the association's directors, had a very serious impact. The entire Hero Association was shaken!

On the one hand, Samman was the fourth largest investor in the Hero Association and one of the association's important shareholders. On the other hand, Samman's capture made the other investors panic.

They were all high and mighty figures to begin with.

They lived in the safest association headquarters, and they had Heroes at least A Class and above accompanying them whenever they went out. Logically speaking, their lives should not be in danger, but now, a problem had arisen!

Although they did not care about Samman's life or death, Samman's encounter with freaks and his capture meant that they might encounter the same thing!

"What's wrong with you!?"

"You actually put our investors in such danger. Do you still want to continue receiving our investments in the future?!"

A few of the Hero Association's directors shouted angrily at Xi Qi and the other supervisors. All of them kept slamming the table.

"There's still no news of Samman?"

"Can he be saved safely?!"

Questions kept raining down on him, causing Xi Qi's expression to turn ugly. However, he was unable to respond.

And at that moment.

The door suddenly opened and a staff member rushed in. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "Excuse me! I just received a piece of news. It was sent by the freaks who captured Samman. They were acting in an organized manner! They even sent a video! "

"Video?"

Xi Qi frowned as he looked over.

The staff member's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "Yes, the video has been transferred over. You can watch it here."

Xi Qi glanced at the many members of the upper echelons of the association present. He clicked on the screen and pulled out the video.

Swoosh!

A projection was projected above the conference table.

A figure with big eyes appeared on the projection. It sat on a stone chair and floated in the air, looking down at the scene in front of it.

"Hello everyone from the Hero Association. I'm Big Eyes, the advisor of the Freak Association … I'll first bring you good news. The hostage is still alive."

"However, he won't be alive forever."

"As an investor of the Hero Association, his funding allowed the Hero Association to develop, causing a large number of freaks to die. Therefore, he is guilty of a heinous crime."

"Three days later at two in the afternoon, we will publicly execute him in the name of the Freak Association at the headquarters of the Freak Association, which is also what you call the No Man's Land of Z City."

"If you wish to participate in the execution ceremony, please be prepared. You are welcome to disturb us."

"Finally, I'll issue a serious notice to all of you in the name of the Freak Association … From this moment forth, the Freak Association will officially declare war on the Hero Association!"

"Then."

"I wish everyone good luck."

As the last sentence fell, the image on the projection froze and disappeared with a sizzling sound.

There was silence.

Only the sound of breathing could be heard in the entire conference room.

The expressions of the directors changed. Although they did not care about Samman's life or death, they clearly could not sit back and do nothing. If that happened, no one would care if they were arrested.

After a moment of silence.

The major shareholder, Agni, who was sitting in the middle, stood up and slowly said, "Since the Freak Association has declared war on us, we can't sit back and do nothing. Besides, Mr. Samman has to be rescued safely."

"Summon."

"Summon all heroes above B Class!"
