Chapter 145: Space Jump!
Before the establishment of S-Class heroes in the Hero Association, he was one of the rare individuals capable of taking on Demon-level threats alone. He single-handedly transformed crime-ridden Q City into a safe haven, attracting refugees from neighboring cities.
During the Monster Association's large-scale assault, he effortlessly defended Q City by himself. When Garou attacked, he defeated him without breaking a sweat. However, considering Watchdog Man's natural advantage against Garou and the fact that Watchdog Man had never fought top-tier monsters in the manga, his true strength remains uncertain.
"A threat above Dragon level… In other words, a disaster on the same scale as that alien spaceship invasion."
The classification of "above Dragon level" only emerged after the Hero League fought against the extraterrestrial invader Boros. Chang Wei believed that Boros' invasion should have been classified as a God-level threat due to its potential to endanger all of humanity. However, since it was ultimately resolved, it was categorized as "above Dragon level" instead.
With multiple Dragon-level monsters, numerous Demon-level threats, and an overwhelming number of Tiger-level and Dragon-level creatures, classifying this as "above Dragon level" was only natural—keeping it as merely Dragon-level wouldn't make sense.
The credibility of this classification was high, causing widespread anxiety. Despite having the strongest hero, Chang Wei, and despite the Hero League proving far more effective than the Hero Association—having already repelled one "above Dragon level" disaster—there was no guarantee they could succeed again.
As a result, most people fled from District 11, and even those in neighboring areas chose to leave, heading toward District 0 for safety.
"What? How did this happen?"
Gyoro Gyoro stared at the news broadcast in shock. She always kept up with current events—staying informed was crucial—so naturally, she was watching this report.
Unbeknownst to her, the Hero League had already sealed off the Monster Association.
Their speed and efficiency were astonishing—they had even constructed a deep underground alloy wall to prevent monsters from escaping.
Even creatures adept at burrowing couldn't get through.
In other words, they were trapped!
A massive number of Hero League superheroes were converging from all directions, assembling to annihilate the Monster Association.
By the time the Hero Association's S-Class heroes arrived, they were met with a chaotic yet coordinated scene—fully armed soldiers and a swarm of costumed superheroes.
"Now this is a spectacle. I missed out on the spaceship battle, so I have to make my mark this time."
Superalloy Darkshine spoke excitedly.
Unlike most S-Class heroes, he didn't care for glory or applause. After the dissolution of the Hero Association, he joined the Hero League, passing the evaluation to become an S-Class superhero.
Chang Wei knew Superalloy Darkshine's strength well—there was no need for any tests. His issue had always been mindset rather than power. In terms of pure combat ability, he was solidly at the high-Dragon level.
If he overcame his mental barriers, he could reach peak-Dragon level.
Of course, that still wouldn't compare to Tornado at her peak-Dragon level.
To pressure Gyoro Gyoro and give Garou time for training, Chang Wei deliberately held back his attack, telling the heroes they weren't fully prepared yet.
"Why prepare? Just charge in and wipe them out."
Tornado of Terror had no patience for such things.
"Hold on, Tornado. You're no longer a hero. You're now a civilian in need of protection. Please leave."
Chang Wei had lost all interest in Tornado and dismissed her without hesitation.
"You're that so-called strongest hero, Chang Wei?"
Tornado's curiosity was piqued. She had heard of Chang Wei—his battle with Boros was proof he wasn't ordinary.
"If I had been there back then, the Earth wouldn't have suffered so much damage."
She spoke with an almost absurd level of confidence. But she had to be this confident—Blast had told her that people could only rely on themselves.
She even forced this belief onto Hellish Blizzard, trying to instill the same mindset in her.
No matter how powerful the enemy, no matter how impossible the odds, Tornado could never admit inferiority.
Her only response was always: I can do better. You're all useless.
"Is that so? Then I'll just restrain you for three days."
Chang Wei's expression remained neutral as his telekinesis instantly sealed Tornado's movements.
"What?!"
Tornado felt an overwhelming force, vast and deep as an ocean.
He's a psychic too?!
She struggled to resist, unleashing her full power—but it was futile. Against Chang Wei's psychic energy, she was utterly powerless. Worse still, he deliberately restrained her at an agonizingly slow pace, as if mocking her.
His telekinetic power had reached absurd levels.
After obtaining Geryuganshoop's genes and Tornado's own genetic data, the Divine Light Virus had evolved once again. Both in quality and quantity, his telekinesis completely eclipsed Tornado's.
He could now manipulate gravitational forces at a scale capable of affecting celestial bodies.
"Damn it…"
Tornado's psychic power was sealed, reducing her to an ordinary person.
She stared at Chang Wei in disbelief.
"How… How did you do this?"
"How? Shouldn't you already know the answer? Because I'm stronger than you. Much, much stronger."
Chang Wei smirked at Tornado before vanishing from sight.
"What—?!"
Tornado's eyes widened as she scanned the surroundings, but Chang Wei was nowhere to be seen.
"Using telekinesis to manipulate gravity… then using gravity to distort space… finally, achieving space jump… It worked."
Chang Wei reappeared in a different location—but only as a floating head.
The space jump had succeeded, but not entirely successfully. The sheer power of space itself filled him with both awe and fascination.
He uploaded the data to the researchers in River of Death. There was no better test subject than himself, and his superhuman senses recorded far more detailed information than the most advanced instruments available to humanity.
Thanks to him, those scientists could now observe space and gravity from a super-lifeform's perspective.
"That said, pulling off a flashy move just to look cool… Losing 90% of my body tissue isn't exactly a great trade-off."
Chang Wei mocked his own recklessness.
With Tornado effortlessly subdued, the other strong-willed heroes naturally had no reason to rebel.
After all, he had only said they weren't fully ready—he never said they wouldn't let them participate.
What was the big deal about waiting a few days?
"Damn it, I don't know what the Hero League is planning, but I need to speed up Garou's training."
