For the spacecraft to land, it needed to spew out a counteracting flame as a buffer.
And when such a massive spacecraft spew out a buffer flame towards the ground, the city on the ground would definitely be instantly destroyed.
The entire city felt that something was amiss the moment it was enveloped by the spacecraft's shadow.
When they looked up and saw the unidentified flying object slowly descending, a strong sense of unease instantly filled their hearts.
Although the spacecraft's descent was not as fast as the meteorite's, the feeling of slowly waiting for death was even worse.
As for escaping?
Don't be silly. The entire city was enveloped. Apart from the people living in the periphery who had hope, the people in the other areas were almost certain to die.
The people in the city fell into a state of panic. They shouted for help and prayed. There were even people who gave up hope. In short, there were all sorts of emotions in life.
A loli, who was being hugged by her mother, sensibly helped her mother wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She comforted her mother with a childish voice.
"Mommy, don't be afraid. Heroes will come to help us. They will definitely defeat the bad guys, right?"
The young girl's ignorant words struck the heart of the beautiful woman. She could not say anything that would deal a blow to her daughter's confidence.
She knew that the Hero Association was probably unable to protect itself at this moment. Furthermore, with such a massive spacecraft, what could the heroes do even if they came?
However, she did not wish to deal a blow to her daughter. At the very least, she wanted her daughter to have a beautiful fantasy before she died.
The woman wiped away her tears and forced a smile. She said to her daughter in her arms with a smile, "The heroes will definitely come!"
The spacecraft's speed of descent increased. The taller buildings were already the first to be destroyed.
And as the tall buildings collapsed, the spacecraft did not slow down its descent. Instead, it slowly descended, becoming a nightmare in everyone's hearts.
Just as the woman slumped to the ground in fright, but she still hugged her daughter tightly. She attempted to use her back to help shield her from the damage. However, an inexplicable chill suddenly rose around her.
Even at the last moment of her life, the mother still did the most instinctive action. This was a mother's love!
Perhaps she knew that doing this might not help the situation, but she still instinctively made a move to protect her child.
As far as Ye Zai was concerned, this mother was definitely the greatest 'hero' in the world right now!
The transformation necklace that he was wearing was also emitting a faint glow. It was probably the so-called "light of humanity"!
"Ice Release: Multiple Layers of Ice Tooth!"
Ye Zai slammed his hands on the ground, causing the ground to shake violently.
The temperature of the entire city suddenly began to plummet. Conical icicles with a diameter of several meters began to protrude from the ground throughout the city!
There were so many icicles that they covered every corner of the city.
Many places where there were originally buildings were pierced by the ice. In a short period of time, the entire city seemed to have entered a forest of ice thorns.
Although Ye Zai's "Ice Release" had caused considerable damage to the city, he couldn't care less in order to save people.
Besides, if they really waited for the spaceship to land completely, not to mention the city buildings, even the people living here would also die.
The mission requirements given to Ye Zai by the system were also quite humane. It only required him to save at least 50% of the people, but it didn't force him to save everyone.
The reason for that was because, under such circumstances, it was simply impossible for Ye Zai to save everyone in the city.
However, Ye Zai was also moved by the mother and daughter in front of him. Perhaps in some corner of this city, such a tragedy was also happening.
Therefore, the current Ye Zai was almost using all of his skills to save as many people as possible.
"Ding Ding, Ding Ding Ding!" The slowly descending spaceship finally came into contact with the icicles that were used as pillars below.
A blue protective shield began to light up on the surface of the spaceship, resisting the piercing of the icicles.
A spaceship that could travel in the universe naturally wouldn't only have the ability to attack without any means of defense.
"Kacha, Kacha, Kacha!"
Hundreds of icicles began to shatter inch by inch under the pressure of the spaceship's energy protective shield.
However, Ye Zai didn't give up. The chakra on his body began to be consumed rapidly, and more and more icicles began to protrude from the ground.
Due to Ye Zai's reckless output, the speed of the spaceship's descent had indeed slowed down.
The young woman, who had been protecting her daughter with her back, didn't seem to notice the pain that had yet to befall her body. She opened her originally closed eyes hesitantly.
The moment the young woman opened her eyes, she saw Ye Zai in front of her. His face was gritting his teeth, and the icicles that covered the entire city.
"Madam, sorry if I've frightened you. I'm a hero from the Hero Association. I will protect you!"
Although it was rather strenuous for him, Ye Zai still forced a smile.
The mother in front of him was worthy of Ye Zai's respect.
Unlike the young woman's shocked expression, the little girl in her arms happily broke free from her mother's embrace.
She hugged the rag doll and ran in front of Ye Zai. As she wiped the sweat off Ye Zai's forehead, she didn't forget to ask Ye Zai in a childish tone.
"Big Brother, are you a hero?
You will defeat the bad guys and save everyone, right? "
Looking at the loli's face that was just inches away from him, Ye Zai immediately felt endless power surge from his body.
"Yes, I promise!
I will defeat all the bad guys because Big Brother is a hero! "
With the infusion of chakra from Ye Zai's body, the icicles that had shattered inch by inch began to reform at an extremely fast speed.
At that moment, the entire city seemed to have entered a cold winter. The temperature was so low that it even affected the surrounding air, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into frost that drifted down.
The changes in the city naturally attracted the attention of others, including the heroes from the Hero Association.
"It's Ye Zai. He's preventing the spacecraft from landing!"
Some heroes might not be familiar with Ye Zai, but Saitama, Genos, and Fubuki recognized the ice and snow that covered the entire city at a glance.
"Ye Zai?
That A-class hero from before?
He can actually do this? "
A few S-class heroes who weren't familiar with Ye Zai couldn't help but feel awe when they saw the thousands of icicles that covered the city.
Faced with the massive spacecraft, even S-class heroes like them, who had always been worshipped by others, were helpless.
And now, Ye Zai, an A-class hero, was trying his best to save the city with his own strength.
In comparison, although they were known as S-class heroes, their actions made them feel ashamed.
