Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan

Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan – 057

I need to buy some time.

Is it reasonable to pick a fight after asking me to attend as a witness? Let’s handle it sensibly. While inwardly swallowing my irritation, I nonchalantly shook my head from side to side.

“Stop it. I have no intention of fighting.”

“What are you saying? Why do you get to decide that? Shut up and come at me!”

– Crackle-crackling! –

A vivid electric current formed in Electric Guy’s right hand. If that thing is shot, I will die on the spot, 100%.

‘Even though it looks like a brawl, it’s somewhat reasonable.’

I understand well that Isaac, an unidentified absolute person in the Hero Association, can only be a source of anxiety. Despite catching high-level villains and monsters in succession, it seems like I should have been called to this place sooner or later.

From their perspective, they probably wanted to quickly settle the relationship with me, whether by forming an alliance or considering me a dangerous individual.

If the leader of a mediocre small clan suddenly acts as a hidden absolute hero, it would have looked good in the eyes of S-rank heroes who protect the nation.

‘I should consider this as a lot of attention.’

Just looking at the fact that I didn’t make use of the 50 questions and answers I prepared for days, it’s clear. The council didn’t bother with Isaac’s background and talent.

They said they were worried that they might disturb the guy with a seemingly complicated story.

So, this is just a minimal verification to visually confirm Isaac’s talent. Moreover, they chose the delicate method of presenting the rough Electric Guy.

‘There’s a possibility to push it further.’

Some council members seem to be hesitant, probably because they don’t want to be caught as fools, and in this situation, they don’t seem to want to side with me. No, they might be worried about what would happen if they didn’t join my side.

“I’m not just saying this. My power doesn’t suit for ‘sparring’.”

“Hahaha! Grandpa, didn’t I say? That guy’s scared now. I said there might be difficult conditions for the manifestation of talent, didn’t I? Did I not say, how can such a guy be S-rank!”

Electric Guy struck the nail on the head. I don’t think I can forever hide this fact.

‘It’s a reasonable deduction.’

There was a lot of talk on communities and YouTube. Since I was not very active and only stepped forward when I needed to, sharp reasoning that my talent is ‘conditional’ often seemed quite convincing.

I’ve seen rational counterarguments against the fanatics who believed Isaac, the leader, would beat most S-ranks.

“Director Isaac, honestly. We need to see what your talent is. As a representative S-rank hero, we need to at least confirm if the leader is the same as us, ‘humanity’.”

Certainly, the chairman was someone who could communicate effectively. Even explaining the front and back of the story to a hero like Isaac in a situation like this was excessive kindness.

‘I apologize.’

But I had to buy some time. Whether it’s courtesy or whatever, preventing that buzzing current from spewing out is a top priority.

“I understand what you’re saying, but there will be casualties.”

“What are you talking about? Do you mean I’m going to get hurt? Hahaha, hahaha! What a shameless guy…”

Admittedly shameless. However, the my words were also sincere concern for Electric Guy.

Ideally, the chairman would accept my words, Electric Guy would be struck by lightning, but as a backup plan, it would be good to counterattack using the combat gauge reaching 100% and using the Final Finish.

‘I’ll definitely die.’

Summoning Gunggi and fighting won’t match Electric Guy’s specs or slightly fall behind. In that case, I’ll inevitably have to engage in an ‘attack’ against him, and how can he withstand what even Marius the higher-level villain couldn’t endure in that one night?

“Director Isaac, don’t worry about that. Even if someone gets seriously injured, it can be restored with my talent. Huhuhu.”

So, even considering that, it’s still dangerous. If there was no talent for restoration, he wouldn’t have started a fight like this in the first place.

But when my Final Finish and the chairman’s contact restoration collide, I don’t know which side’s ‘judgment code’ will be more advantageous.

‘There’s a high probability that restoration won’t work.’

Final Finish is not just a legendary grade leader skill that comes out of a jar, and it’s not transcendent grade for no reason.

Of course, all these concerns were a luxurious worry that would only have meaning when the combat gauge was fully filled.

– Beep.

–

[Combat Gauge: 100%]

That was just resolved. It seems like I’ve bought about 3 minutes with a bulging eyeball. Once again, I shook my head from side to side and gave sincere advice.

“It will become irreversible with anything. Electric Guy, I warned you enough. If you want to die, come at me.”

“Hahaha, hahaha! Are you provoking me? Look at that long tongue. Just shut up and die!”

– Crackle-crackling! –

– Crash-bang! –

Electric Guy’s right hand was engulfed in a splendid lightning.

‘I don’t know what’s going to happen now. I have to survive.’

[Used Final Finish.]

[The next attack is enhanced with the power of a ‘Finishing Blow’

– Oooooong-

An immense power, whose end couldn’t be determined, surged within my body.

From the beginning, I didn’t like it. There was no place, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, that I found pleasing.

‘This jerk with an inflated ego.’

A self-righteous, dragging gait, eyes that seemed to have seen everything with a murky and hazy gaze. An annoying hypocrite who runs a fledgling clan or oversees operations, boasting about S-rank deeds, and flaunting strength, but doesn’t know how to handle heroes under his command.

Isaac was a seed with too many reasons to be crushed. It had been a long time since I felt so uncomfortable about someone.

Then, he opened his mouth.

“I warned you enough. If you want to die, come at me.”

“Khehe, hehehe!”

Laughter burst out.

How dare someone like me, Electric Guy, receive such insults. It was refreshing. And I really wanted to see it. The sight of that guy, who knows no bounds, kneeling under the lightning in the high sky.

‘I can’t even feel a single strand of magic. It’s a bluff.’

Data analysis is complete.

Isaac undoubtedly possessed the talent to use an immense amount of magic for a very short moment. Whether it’s in the physical or manipulative realm, if he pierces through at a speed faster than his reflexes, it’s all over.

“Get burned-.”

– Crackling- Pachichichichichi! –

“Plasma Raise…!”

The manifestation of lightning, for a moment, a golden spear of several million volts soared, seemingly about to pierce Isaac right away.

– Swoosh.

–

Isaac’s hand moved strangely just at that moment.

A simple motion of bringing his hand to the spear. However, the result seemed far from simple.

‘Shuk!’

A strange sense of discomfort eerily struck.

“————–!”

Immediately after, a momentum like a mountain rushing over. It felt as if a giant world was colliding.

‘Am I going to die!?’

My body stiffened like stone. The reaction of my body was quicker than my head.

An animalistic sense that if the spear of lightning were to fly away, it would immediately lead to death. That sense was maximized at the end, and it blocked the full manifestation of magic with all its might.

– Oooooong.

–

– Squelch.

–

“Kreuk!”

The recoil of the backlash shook my arms and chest. A tingling pain followed, and black blood rose along the magic circuit tears.

“Pheuk!”

I quickly bowed my head to spit out blood. Residual pain spread from the torn magic circuit, first relief at being alive, followed by rising anger.

– Crash! –

– Crackle-crackling.

–

– Kugung! –

As Electric Guy, with a pale complexion, raised his head, other S-rank heroes appeared around him like the wind, raising specialized weapons or lifting their hands to guard the front.

Isaac’s movements, Electric Guy’s magic recovery, and the sudden intrusion of the S-rank heroes happened literally in ‘an instant.’

– Oooooong.

–

– Squelch squelch crackling! –

The space between Isaac and the S-rank heroes twisted, and a creepy tearing sound burst forth. It was a phenomenon caused by the collision of powerful magic waves.

“Director Isaac! It’s done now. Gather your strength!”

Electric Guy belatedly grasped the situation. All the S-rank heroes in the conference room had stepped forward to prevent his death. As soon as they detected the eerie magic wave manifested when Isaac brought his hand to the spear, they pooled their strength.

If not, they sensed that Electric Guy would be killed without a chance to intervene, or the headquarters building would be destroyed.

“Take this opportunity to thoroughly confirm. This is my talent.”

– Kugugugung –

– Crackle-crackling! –

“Kkuk!”

“Director Isaac! Please stop!”

A thunderous noise reverberated as if space would burst. In response to the collision of mere magic waves, Flame Emperor summoned flames, and Yoho summoned five tails because it was unbearable.

With damaged magic circuits, Electric Guy couldn’t operate magic forcefully, so he couldn’t contribute to the confrontation.

As if receiving the punishment for not heeding his advice, isaac’s magic wave continued to radiate for over a minute, chilling the hearts of the S-rank heroes.

– Huuung…

–

As the collision of magic waves subsided, the surroundings fell silent as if a storm had passed. In its aftermath, the conference room’s table, chairs, floor, and walls were significantly damaged. Even though protective spells were cast on the furniture, it proved ineffective. This passage indicated how intense the clash between Isaac and the S-rank heroes was.

“Turn that power off. Please understand that much.”

“… Alright. I get it. It seems both sides are not in their best state. Let’s take a short break before the vote.”

“Have a conversation. I will be back.”

Isaac left the chaotic conference room for a while. The S-rank heroes relaxed only when he was gone.

“He was a more hot guy than I thought.”

“Well, I don’t like scary dudes.”

Yoho and Poker Boy showed different reactions. Electric Guy, who experienced disgrace, vented his frustration. Without managing his injured magic circuits, he struck the floor with his fist, leaving a mark.

“Damn!”

Despite the boiling rage, what heated up even more was the relief of being alive. He had genuinely been on the verge of death a while ago. It wasn’t the sensation of imminent decapitation or being chopped in half. It was something more fundamental. As if something would completely disappear from the world, as if erased with an eraser.

“Chairman, isaac has consistently maintained his sense. We had to use force because we had no other choice, and also…”

“Enough. The chairman expressed concerns several times. We instigated him to confirm his talent. It seems to be some kind of talent that turns on and off a kind of ‘absolute state’. That’s why no magic was detected before.”

“Yes. And no psychic energy was felt either. Can we trust him now?”

“Yes. He’s not a villain who changed his status or a unique species from the Other World. If he were, he wouldn’t have emitted such a pure magic wave! However… his power is immeasurable. It might be uncontrollable in unavoidable situations. What do you think, Machine Commander?”

“He’s not suitable as a hero. However, as a secret weapon, the value is….”

The S-rank heroes of the Disaster Response Committee continued their discussion to determine Isaac’s official hero registration and S-rank promotion. The result was still unknown to anyone.
