Chapter 393 Paul Five Becomes a God
Not long after the incident...
The StellarTech Group's hero rankings saw a quiet but major shake-up!
The top ten spots were now all held by members of the Punisher Organization.
Even the long-standing number one hero, "Savior," saw a change!
People had always been curious about the identity of "Savior." After all, the other superhumans on the list had plenty of battle footage available, making their abilities clear.
But the identity of the Savior had always been shrouded in mystery, with no official information released.
Yesterday, however, the top spot on the list changed!
A new name, "Paul Five," suddenly appeared, sharing the number one position with Savior!
People were stunned and confused. How could the top hero be pre-determined? Who was this Paul Five? There was no information on him, and yet he was suddenly number one?
Many die-hard fans of other heroes protested. Could Paul Five defeat Black Clothes? Could he beat Punisher Xia? On what grounds?
The reason for this upheaval was that the CEO of StellarTech Group, in a bid to get firsthand information, personally attended the cyborg arena matches. He witnessed the man known as Paul Five not engage in any fights but perform one single act.
This act left everyone in utter despair, not daring to harbor any rebellious thoughts.
Due to public pressure, the CEO of StellarTech Group issued a statement. As long as the rankings existed, Paul Five would remain number one. The reason was not disclosed.
However, many sharp-minded individuals suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Yesterday, a meteor was destroyed by a mysterious force. Could it have been Paul Five?
...
Government officials, upon returning to their offices and receiving more detailed data, were equally stunned.
They realized it wasn't just an ordinary meteor; it was an asteroid! An asteroid with a density a hundred times that of diamond! An asteroid that no weapon could bring down, moving at incredible speed! And he shattered it with his bare hands!
They were shaken to their core. This man, who had been silent until now, made a stunning debut! There had been rumors that he lacked strength. What was the result? The monstrous Bertrand was killed with a single glare! And then he single-handedly averted a disaster, saving everyone!
If this wasn't a strength, then what was? This man, known as Paul Five, was unfathomable. He was the same Paul Five mentioned by the workers on Phantom Island. Officials had previously thought this was some kind of superstitious brainwashing by the Punisher Organization. Now, it seemed the title was entirely appropriate. Paul Five wasn't a fraud or a hero; he was a god!
The more the officials thought about it, the more they sweated. This matter had to be recorded in secret archives, much like the previous generation's Savior, as historical data. Regarding Paul Five's strength, after much deliberation, they decided to uniformly refer to him as Paul Five.
As for the Punisher Organization, their already terrifying power was now perceived as a hundred times more frightening due to Paul Five's revealed strength. Countries immediately listed the small Phantom Island as a no-conflict zone, marked in red: "Beyond the realm of reality, not to be provoked!"
...
In the government building.
Sterling sat in his chair, looking a bit unhinged. Ever since meeting Elbert, he had been on the verge of a breakdown. The meteor incident had scared him so much that Congress had thoughtfully hired a psychologist for him.
The psychologist was currently sitting across from him. Sterling had just been diagnosed with "post-traumatic stress disorder."
The elderly psychologist spoke gently, "President Prescott, I believe you're under too much work pressure, leading to some unnecessary thoughts."
Sterling didn't respond.
The psychologist continued, "President Prescott, according to you, there's a super hacker in the world who can't be stopped by anyone, who can invade our Victoria system at any time and bomb the government building?"
As an ordinary person, the psychologist had just learned about these high-level secrets today.
The psychologist smiled slightly, "And he's also an inexplicably powerful cyborg who can kill a hero with a glare and shatter an asteroid?"
Sterling remained unresponsive.
The psychologist softly said, "President Prescott, you said this person's name is Elbert Perry?"
Sterling's body suddenly trembled, and he shouted, "Don't say that name in front of me!"
The psychologist was taken aback!
He then looked at Sterling, who was shaking like a leaf and trying to shrink into his chair, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"President Prescott, I can responsibly tell you that none of this is realistic. It's impossible."
Sterling looked terrified. "You foolish mortal!"
The psychologist sighed, "President Prescott, it's clear that you're under too much psychological pressure, leading to hallucinations. I'll prepare some medication for you. You need to take it regularly, or your condition will worsen, and you might not be fit to continue as president."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"What do you know?"
Sterling suddenly got angry, grabbed the pen in front of him, and threw it!
The psychologist quickly dodged!
Sterling then grabbed a book and threw it, followed by the national flag, and then the ashtray!
"Stupid Congress, getting me such a stupid doctor!"
Sterling cursed, throwing objects and driving the doctor out!
At this moment, his chief secretary, Theron, walked in.
"President Prescott, good news! So far, the Punisher Organization hasn't made any further moves or shown any intention of condemning us!"
Sterling breathed a sigh of relief!
He was afraid Bertrand would implicate Victoria!
Who would dare provoke the Punisher Organization now?
"But, President Prescott..."
Theron hesitated slightly, "The bad news is, the Black Shark, which was returning, has gone missing!"
"What?"
Sterling looked terrified!
The Black Shark was equipped with a neutron bomb!
And it belonged to Victoria!
If it caused any trouble and the Punisher Organization found out, wouldn't Victoria be doomed?
Secretary Theron also looked tense, "President Prescott, we've done our best. The Black Shark mysteriously disappeared in the Western Ocean, all signals abruptly stopped, like it vanished into thin air!"
Sterling's face turned pale, clutching his heart!
He couldn't catch a break!
He roared, "Send more submarines, send planes! We must find it!"
