Inside the Insect God Temple.
A scorching current of air swirled into a whirlwind within the hall, and the firebird abruptly decelerated in front of the throne, landing steadily.
As its massive talons loosened, dozens of figures tumbled down like dumplings, making a "crackle, crackle" sound as they fell onto the cold, hard rock floor, piling up into a small hill.
Without exception, all these people were bald, wearing tattered, black, tire-like battle suits.
Each of them was bruised and swollen, with their eyes rolled back, and most were still foaming at the mouth, likely to remain unconscious for a while.
They were none other than the Peach Garden Group, the criminal organization that had been wantonly destroying F-City not long ago.
"Your Majesty, all the people you requested have been brought here."
As the light dissipated, the Reincarnated Phoenix Man, acting as a large transport plane, completed its form transition the moment it landed, devolving from its majestic "Solar Prominence Mode" into a comical Dull Bird form with dull eyes.
The entire transformation process was smooth and seamless, apparently, after being forced to reincarnate, its control over its own abilities had improved by more than one level.
Han Sen nodded; indeed, the One-Punch Man world not only had its own Piccolo Daimao but also its own Digimon.
At this moment, the Phoenix Man no longer displayed any of the arrogance and conceit of a Dragon-level Monster; he respectfully folded his wings and bowed deeply to the dark figure on the throne.
"According to your command, all of them were alive during transport; not a single one died."
"Very good." Han Sen, on the throne, lazily raised his hand, his voice calm yet inherently authoritative, "Go down, register the mission with the Armored Gorilla, and settle your contribution points."
He paused, then added, "Once the Evolution Cell effective for Dragon-level cadres completes its final debugging, your share will not be less."
Han Sen's words seemed to possess infinite magic, causing incredibly eager light to instantly burst forth from the Reincarnated Phoenix Man's comical Dull Bird eyes.
Recently, the reward system Han Sen had promised earlier had been fully implemented under the promotion of the Armored Gorilla, his chief steward.
The entire Monster Association transformed from a chaotic, disorganized loose alliance into a highly efficient war machine.
The Rhino Wrestler, who was a workaholic, and a group of ambitious and powerful Demon-level Monsters, such as "Crossbow S" who was eager to climb the ranks, had already been the first to exchange for the 2.0 version of the Evolution Cell by frantically completing missions.
They were already the backbone of the Monster Association and held a certain status; the changes in their strength were observed by all Monsters and coveted in their hearts.
Even many Dragon-level cadres drooled over it, becoming even more loyal to the new Monster King.
No Monster who revered violence and destruction could resist the temptation of power!
Han Sen didn't care whether they genuinely submitted or merely played along; in his eyes, those few Dragon-level cadres of the Monster Association were merely slightly stronger leeks.
To better implement the plan, he had the Armored Gorilla establish a complete system of missions and contribution points.
Whether it was completing the Monster King's direct orders, excelling in the association's internal ranking competitions, or cooperating with Great Eyes in various experimental research, all could accumulate contribution points.
And contribution points could be exchanged for rewards including, but not limited to, customized biological modifications, Evolution Cells, and exclusive training ground usage rights.
This completely ignited the Monsters' enthusiasm!
Under the temptation of greater power, the entire association, from top to bottom, fell into a fervent atmosphere of internal competition, truly beginning to take on the rudimentary form of a Monster kingdom.
If the Phoenix Man didn't expose his various reincarnation forms, he would only be considered a mid-tier among the Dragon-level cadres.
Against a fighting king like Gouketsu, who had complete suppression in strength, speed, and technique, his chances of winning were not high.
Especially after being repeatedly beaten by Han Sen in various inconceivable ways, he was no longer as arrogant as when he first ascended to Dragon-level; his desire for power even surpassed that of most Monsters.
"Thank you for your cultivation, Your Majesty!"
The Reincarnated Phoenix Man bowed deeply, his tone filled with gratitude and fanaticism.
After the excited Reincarnated Phoenix Man retreated, a bloated, one-eyed Monster, riding its large sofa, slowly floated out from the shadows of the hall.
"Your Majesty."
Great Eyes, controlled by Psykos, respectfully saluted, reporting the situation to Han Sen on the throne.
"The debut of Scarlet Rose and Plasma Dancer was a great success; their hero team has already attracted considerable attention in human society."
Great Eyes' Psychokinesis brought over a 3D projection device, displaying news reports from F-City on its screen.
Countless citizens excitedly praised the two goddesses who descended from the sky to the camera.
On social media platforms, topics such as "#NEOHEROES Arrive#" and "#MostBeautifulHero Scarlet Rose#" had already climbed to the top of the trending list.
Below were constantly growing comments and reposts, with various fan-made exquisite drawings and edited videos emerging endlessly.
In the secret room, Psykos's tone remained respectful, but deep in her eyes, there was a hint of excitement that even she hadn't noticed.
Transitioning from a mastermind to an idol hero producer, packaging Monsters as heroes to infiltrate human society... this method of dismantling enemies on a spiritual level and manipulating human hearts seemed much more interesting than mere destruction?
"Hmm, well done."
Han Sen leaned lazily on the throne, unsurprised by this result, his talons rhythmically tapping the rough rock armrest.
"Neo also contacted me, saying they would cooperate with us in creating public opinion within their core fan base, and subsequent publicity resources would follow."
"Although 'Neo.Heroes' has not yet officially announced its establishment, acting as individual heroes to prematurely leverage the Hero Association's grassroots support is also a very effective attempt."
— To hijack public support and dismantle the very foundation of the Hero Association's existence!
— When everyone starts comparing and questioning the Hero Association, turning to support our people, the subsequent war will almost certainly be won!
Psykos's heart trembled, and in an instant, she imagined countless deeper strategies.
Her gaze towards the dark figure on the throne became even more reverent and fanatical.
Han Sen naturally didn't know that his formidable female secretary was once again strategizing on her own; having his maid group debut was merely the first step in his plan.
As the behind-the-scenes boss of the House of Evolution, the Supreme Emperor of the Sea People, and the sole king of the Monster Association, the biggest villain leader in this world, he would not allow Neo, another villain organization hidden in the shadows, to challenge him.
Whether the One-Punch Man world was chaotic or not, it had to be the Monster King's decision!
