Witch Special

In the end, Wildhammer had been killed by the two robots sent by the "Organization." They had shattered the simulated personality within Wildhammer, rendering his body in a state of death. If it weren't for the safety measures Lin Zhenxi had installed within his body, he would have been a slowly decaying corpse in a dark corner.

If they don't take action, it's fine, but if they do, it's fatal. The ruthless style of the "organization" makes Lin Zhenxi feel a little challenged.

That's right, that's the style of the villain organization. Only villains like this can highlight her as a positive character. If it weren't for such a peer to set her off, with Lin Zhenxi's methods of digging through memories and playing with souls, it's hard to say who is more evil.

Lin Zhenxi was quite satisfied with Wildhammer's material. After all, this incredibly tough, forged body was the perfect material for biological experiments. Previously, Lin Zhenxi had focused on modifying Wildhammer's combat suit, not his body. But that was because it was enough. Given the current landscape of Z City, a Wildhammer with immense strength, agility, and a bit of combat instinct was more than enough to subdue the entire city's monsters. There was no point in becoming even stronger.

But now, the evil organization "The Organization" has emerged, and the city's superhero Wildhammer has suffered his first crushing defeat at the hands of a nefarious monster. In keeping with the traditional hero vs. dragon storyline, our protagonist will rise from this demise, even stronger than before. The villains who once easily defeated him will only become stepping stones for his return.

The suit was already severely damaged, and further repairs were pointless; it would be better to discard it. Besides, Lin Zhenxi couldn't repair it. While a repair spell was likely to restore it, Lin Zhenxi didn't bother trying. Anyway, the suit didn't fit him well at all. Wearing it would actually slow down Wildhammer's attack rhythm. If it weren't for the bulkiness of the suit that limited his agility, Wildhammer wouldn't have been able to rush the flamethrower robot and deliver a solid punch, given its attack intervals.

Of course, that assumption was meaningless, because Wildhammer's current brute strength came entirely from the power-boosting power of his battle suit. Without it, he'd be no more than a heavyweight boxer, and even a hit wouldn't do any real damage. After all, no matter how much training, how could ordinary flesh and blood possibly defeat steel?

Unless you are not a human being.

Human strength depends on muscles and bones, one of which is protein and the other is calcified. If the molecular structure cannot be changed, their structural strength has an upper limit.

But this scientific common sense is obviously not applicable to the current world. Not to mention anything else, just take Saitama who is playing games across from us... Oh, he is not here now, he should have gone to some supermarket somewhere to grab discounted lunch boxes... For example, with the same mortal body, this pervert can not only break steel, but even a mountain can be blown away with one punch. And Hayashi Maki still hasn't figured out the specific source of Saitama's inhuman power.

There are many others in this world with similar circumstances, all possessing abilities beyond the physical limits of the human body. Strength, speed, even intelligence. It's as if the Creator of this world has a preference for these humans, bestowing upon them unique, otherworldly abilities.

Lin Zhenxi couldn't strengthen the Wildhammer in this way. This evolutionary path and her magical research were like two parallel lines, at least not yet intersecting. Fortunately, this world didn't reject other powers. Lin Zhenxi's magical power was not only equally effective in this world, but also exceptionally so.

Since muscle strength has reached its limit, let's add magical power. The agility of a wolf, the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, the defense of a turtle. Beyond the power of wild beasts, there are also monsters, magical beasts, and mythical beasts. The world is full of wonders, and Lin Zhenxi can condense the power of these bizarre beasts with magical powers into tattoos and paint them on the Wildhammer's body.

At this point, the advantage of size becomes apparent. A larger body size means a larger surface area, and naturally, a larger area that can be painted. Therefore, a Wildhammer can carry more Beast Blessings than an average person. These magical paintings can transform a Wildhammer into a bucket without any weaknesses. Unless he is crushed by sheer strength, there is no way to easily defeat him.

The Wildhammer was now a symbol of the city's stability. Lin Zhenxi had finally created a reputation-boosting tool, so he wouldn't let it go on strike so easily. So, Lin Zhenxi temporarily put the engram crafting aside and turned his attention to strengthening his best and only remaining tool, the "Wildhammer."

When the "Organization" sees Wildhammer's resurrection, will they also make a comeback? Lin Zhenxi is looking forward to it.

----------

The day after the "Organization" attacked Wildhammer, before the evil organization could even announce his death—perhaps because the "Organization" was so large it disdained to release information targeting a hero from a small city like City Z—the citizens of City Z woke up the next day to discover their city hero, the ever-armored Mr. Wildhammer, had suddenly changed his appearance. He had shed the bulky black combat suit that had become a part of his persona, revealing a muscular ensemble beneath the armor that would send bodybuilders running back to their mothers in tears.

Furthermore, the Wildhammer is covered in a wealth of body paint, depicting a variety of beasts. Each of these beasts is so lifelike, they seem to come alive. Looking at them for a long time, one might even imagine them poised to leap from the Wildhammer's body and devour anyone they choose. These tattoos accentuate the Wildhammer's already menacing demeanor, making him even more menacing. Yet, his towering form, like a towering iron tower, provides the citizens with a sense of security, like a stabilizing force.

With such powerful heroes protecting City Z, what else do they have to worry about? The citizens' stable and peaceful lives are the best compliment to the heroes' work.

Some horny women were even beginning to become obsessed with Wildhammer's muscles, which looked like they could crush a mosquito. What good was a handsome face? It was like a silver-plated spear head, only good-looking but useless. Only this body, like a wild bull or a tiger, containing infinite strength and energy, could bring his partner true and ultimate sexual happiness.

Lin Zhenxi probably couldn't have imagined that all her efforts would actually develop a unique charm for Manchu, whose appearance was originally much below the human average. Not only did Manchu be worshipped like a god by fitness enthusiasts, but he also gained a group of older female fans who giggled at Manchu's photos, making Manchu's popularity even higher.

The image of a hero won't change easily, because the image of a hero is iconic, even trademark-like. If even the hero himself doesn't cherish his image, how can we expect ordinary people to align themselves with that image?

Therefore, whenever a registered hero's image changes, the Hero Association will inquire about the situation, trying to determine whether the hero has changed their stance, developed new ideas, or experienced a breakthrough in strength, altering their image to represent a completely different person. Thus, Wildhammer underwent a second assessment of his abilities at the Hero Association. That evening, the headlines in City Z were dominated by the news of Wildhammer's advancement to S-Class.

S-class No. 17, codenamed "Wild Hammer." A "Beast King" who uses the power of beasts to fight.

Although it was only the last place in the S-class, and it might even have been something that the Z City government and the Hero Association shamelessly demanded from the Hero Association headquarters, for the residents of Z City, this meant that their city finally had its own S-class hero.

This city, where the light had been extinguished, had its hope reignited, not because of Lin Zhenxi or the Baizhi brand, but because of the appearance of the S-class hero, Wildhammer. Smiles broke out on every face on the streets, and the spirit of the city's early days returned. City Z was like a scrapped car, destined for the junkyard, but it was pulled out for a complete overhaul, the engine replaced, the gears serviced, and it was back on the road, the accelerator pressed, and it roared back into action.

The fact that an S-Class hero could have such a profound impact surprised even Hayashi Maki, the instigator who had been watching from behind the scenes. True to form, this was a world dominated by freaks and heroes. The appearance of an S-Class hero could actually revitalize an entire city, giving it new life.

But it doesn’t seem too difficult to understand. After all, winning the World Cup can give the whole country a day off.

The Wildhammer's promotion to S-rank had a significant impact on City Z, but whether the city could be reborn was of little concern to Hayashi Maki, and she didn't particularly care. However, one thing did concern her, and even forced her to change her overall plan of action: the Wildhammer commercials that replayed day after day on television had a significant impact on Saitama.

Both of them are bald, but Wildhammer's strength is far inferior to Saitama's, not just by an order of magnitude, perhaps even by a magnitude as vast as the Pacific Ocean. Yet, Wildhammer is now a hero, an idol, and a protector to the citizens of City Z. Wildhammer's reputation in City Z has reached an incredible level, which deeply distresses Saitama. Although he pursues heroics purely out of personal interest and has never deliberately sought attention, he believes his contributions to City Z are no less than Wildhammer's. Seeing the weaker Wildhammer achieve success and acclaim, while he remains virtually unknown, not to mention fans, without even a personal website, creates a profound sense of imbalance.

To put it simply, it means - I'm so envious, I can't accept it, I want one too! ! !
