The darkness thickened and thickened, enveloping the streets of Musutafu City in a swirl of gloom. The brave heroes of various agencies went to patrol the neighborhoods and protect civilians from the night encroachments of villains. At night, criminals are activated like some kind of multifunctional mechanism, going for easy money and quenching their bloodlust. Scumbags are different, but maniacs and rapists in their caste the most dangerous. The most harmless are the simple thieves, but they can also pose a great threat, especially if the criminals work in concert....
- "Sasaki, here's your wallet. There's a decent amount of money in it, and there's also a card. There's definitely a lot of money on it! Heh. This time he got caught drunk after a party by a bigwig. When he saw our gun, he immediately started begging for mercy. Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" - unrestrained laughter burst from the lips of a tall man in a black coat with a long horizontal scar on his face in a dark alley. He was addressing his brown-coated superior, who was only a little shorter in stature, but had a powerful chin and large palms. He had a hat on his head and was chewing a cigarette in his mouth.
Next to them also stood a very short compared to them, a young guy with a long sharp nose. He kept glancing around nervously and shifting from foot to foot, biting his lower lip as if he sensed that he was about to smell fried.
And the criminal boy's intuition was not wrong, for justice was very close at hand. So close that it was breathing down the neck of those thieves.
- "You count money? You're good at math. Oh, you should be working as cashiers instead of hanging around here!" - came from behind the three criminals. No sooner had their leader looked back than he received a powerful fatherly slap. From the force invested, the man in the hat flew out of the alley and collided with the wall of the building that was on the parallel side.
- "BOSS SASAKI!" - his accomplices exclaimed in horror, and afterward felt their internal organs turn inside out. Two Detroit Kicks to the stomach, and they both went straight to their leader, with their minds devastated. After all, it's not every day they get hit so hard that they can't even breathe and their organs twist into an accordion.
A two-meter tall giant steps out of the shadows. A perpetual smile on his face. Except that in such a gloomy atmosphere, his smile resembled the grin of a devil god. No kindness, just a frozen, menacing grimace. And yet the Almighty himself had come down from heaven to punish the greedy thieves. Or not himself, but at the behest of the system with its important missions.
[10/10 criminals were stopped. You have fulfilled the first condition. Take the reward and don't forget to fulfill the second condition]
The system plaque popped up in front of Toshinori's eyes and he was finally able to exhale quietly. Still, leaving the last hour for the night was a good idea. It was in the dark that small gangs with two or three criminals began to work, which was just right for Yaga. Now he only had half an hour of combat form left along with wild fatigue, but he still managed to complete his first mission and was able to punish ten villains in one day, which meant that his limit would be raised by another three hours.
- "System, start issuing the reward," Toshinori spoke aloud with a strong anticipation in his voice. His blue eyes glittered with anticipation. At last he would be able to see something supernatural and most importantly rewarding from the system, rather than the usual holographic signs that every other schizophrenic in the world already saw.
And the system, thankfully, did not disappoint him. After the Almighty's command, a glowing halo formed around him. All the particles of light began to accumulate on Yaga's left side, causing him a feeling of euphoria. The man immediately began to feel a change in himself. The fatigue was gone, and there was more strength. Pulling up his shirt, he saw that the horrible wound no longer looked like that. Before, there had been a bloody dimple in the middle, and horrible scars spread out from it. Now all the redness was gone, and the lines had smoothed out more or less.
If the Almighty looked at himself from the outside, he would see that even his appearance had changed for the better. The blonde hair shone with even more light. The wrinkles on his body, even in the corners of his eyes and mouth, were the result of frequent smiles. Now you couldn't tell he was over 50. In fact, after the reward from the system, Yagi's condition changed dramatically. The pressure from his muscular form was no longer felt, and once he returned to his lean form, he noticed that his arms were no longer so bony. Even spitting blood every minute no longer felt like it.
"The system is great!" - Toshinori exclaimed to himself, clenching his fists in mental pleasure. The effort was not in vain, and the system had adequately motivated him for further action. After this, refusing to fulfill the second condition would be utter foolishness.
Yagi is willing to admit that the system is just perfect at seduction. One reward and he wants more. It's like some kind of drug. Only Toshinori realizes what addiction is all about. But as long as the mechanism of higher powers will only help him, he will not complain and most importantly will not hinder his development. To refuse such benefits is the lot of cowards!
...
The next day, the Almighty calmly jumped from one building to another, feeling serene and in complete control of the situation. He was wearing his trademark hero costume that consisted of red, white, blue and gold colors with a belt and boots. Now with a six-hour limit, he didn't have to worry about wasting time in some protracted battle. Plus, from now on, he would be able to devote more time to the Mountain Lady and patrolling with her. After the reward, he had even more motivation to seduce the young heroine.
Suddenly, the phone in his pants rang. Toshinori pulled out his cell phone right in flight and saw that the call was coming from Yuu. "Here comes my first victim," Yagi said to himself as he stopped on the roof of a three-story tech store. He answered the call and quickly arranged for the Mountain Lady to meet him on a city street.
After a couple more minutes along with a few long jumps, and he was at the right place. Yuu was already standing there taking pictures with the fans. It had been one day and she had already gathered a fanbase of young teenagers around her. Of course, with the Almighty's arrival, it had gotten hot outside altogether. In a matter of moments, people had flocked to Toshinori, clustering around him from all sides. After all, it's one thing to see the Symbol of Peace in his everyday clothes, but when you see such a character in a costume straight out of the golden age, admiration in the gaze appears by itself.
- "Ha ha ha. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I can't give you all autographs, sorry. Evil is evil! And it must be stopped! The Mountain Lady and I will be patrolling the streets, so please don't get in our way!" - thundered the Almighty with his hand held high, thus abruptly cutting off the exclaiming crowd. However, no one took offense at the Symbol of Peace, as people were still well aware of what a busy man he really was, constantly working for the good of humanity.
Following suit, the civilians stepped back from Yagi and Yuu with great respect and adoration in their gaze, letting them get on with their work. The Almighty and Lady Hora glanced over and saluted each other. Without further ado, the man took the young heroine in his arms and began to move through the streets of Musutafu. It was just like last time, but with one difference. Now Toshinori held Yuu tighter to him, taking a more sensual grip on her waist with one hand and her hips with the other. There was a confidence in his actions.
Yuu was gazing at the Peace Symbol's face as if under hypnosis, her blonde hair waving in every direction. She felt as if something had changed in him. Something barely perceptible, but radically changing the whole essence. Whether it was a younger man or a change on a spiritual level, something had definitely changed in him! And Yuu would be lying if she said she didn't like that change. Eh, it's a shame that there aren't many guys in the world who are even a little bit like the Almighty!
"What am I thinking about? He's my idol... I'm staring at him like a schoolgirl in love," she shook her head and turned her head away from Toshinori's face, realizing the strangeness of her actions. She'd had this dreamy nonsense in her head since yesterday. She had thought too much about the Almighty's words that there was nothing wrong with wanting fame. As much as she was afraid to show her true vanity, he didn't condemn her like any other righteous hero to the core, but only supported her.
- "Look, there's a villain rampaging about. Carefully knock him out and don't damage the buildings nearby, and I'll be quick to assist you if anything goes wrong," the girl's musings were interrupted by the stern almost commanding voice of the Almighty. He lowered himself with Yuu in his arms to the sidewalk a little further away from a two-meter tall man in a gray rhinoceros-style suit. He had a horn sticking out of his forehead, and the villain was running back and forth, scattering cars in every direction. He had the strength to do so, so the criminal was quite dangerous.
- "Good!" - Lady Mountain nodded gravely, focusing all her attention on the criminal, who still bothered to turn towards them with a crazed animal gaze. Yuu felt a powerful pressure with bloodlust and trembled. Inexperience made itself known and in a direct collision she was lost in the villain's murderous intent, even forgetting for a second what it meant to breathe.
