Pushing through the smoke and dust, Ruina climbed onto the rubble.
[Is it because you’ve only been around for almost a month? Now, the world is talking only about you.]
This is the current situation that Exmachina is telling us.
Ruina had been prepared for this for a long time.
[What’s the next target?]
[The other four were together at least as far as I could track. They must have been busy preparing to rescue their comrades.]
However, their operation was disrupted by Ruina’s intrusion.
Not only did he suffer a setback, he also lost two of his colleagues.
Villains aren’t all that stupid, so by now they’d probably be seeing the breaking news about him and either revising their plans or waiting for the next opportunity.
[What about the villain escort vehicle?]
But if their goals were to move as planned, they would definitely show up without giving up.
As a fellow villain, Ruina was convinced.
[Despite your rampage, there’s no change in the transfer schedule. Those guys from the Correction Bureau. Have you lost your sense of fear after dealing with villains on a regular basis? You’re really working hard even on the weekend.]
[I’ll go straight to the detention center. Please scan the area around there.]
[Well, that’s right. To become the hero that Ruina asks you to do.]
Letting Ex-Machina’s self-mockery go in one ear and out the other, Ruina jumped straight up into the sky.

Seodaemun Special Detention Center temporarily detains S-class or higher vicious villains arrested in the metropolitan area.
It was common for the villains caught there to be transferred to Cheongsong Special Prison, which was said to be a place where they could never escape once they entered.
As it was a place that was in charge of such important work, the security of the facility was extremely tight, and even the personnel in charge of the facility were only those with considerable power to treat villains normally.
That means.
This meant that no matter how strong the villain was, he would have to endure considerable blood loss if he were to raid the prison.
If you want to rescue the villain imprisoned in Seodaemun Prison, there is only one way.
Before the villain is transferred to Cheongsong.
The only solution was to raid the Department of Corrections vehicles transporting the prisoners.
And now.
Executives of the Superpower Research Association, who had gathered from all over the country to rescue Pale Rider, were putting their heads together in a temporary hideout near the detention center.
“Why did it have to be Ruina who was sabotaging it… … .”
S-class villain Deadly Grizzly let out a sigh as if the ground was collapsing.
“Stabber is dead. Needleshooter probably met the same fate.”
Likewise, he is a S-class villain and their staff member.
The agent said, pushing up his glasses.
“Did you happen to receive the hero’s fortune?”
“That can’t be happening. What kind of guy would dare to give orders to that Ruina?”
Freezeman takes a cautious stance, while Arsenist refutes the question as if it were obvious.
They were in quite a difficult situation due to the unexpected intrusion of a villain.
Let’s put aside the end of Stabber, who was originally self-willed and could die at any time.
The fact that even the sniper Needleshooter was defeated so easily meant that a red light was turned on for the plan.
“After Ruina killed the Stabber, she immediately destroyed the area where the Needleshooter was hiding. This tells us only one thing.”
“Ruina, who had been silent, decided to get rid of all the people she didn’t like, right?”
The agent furrowed his brow a couple of times at Deadly Grizzly’s stupid answer.
“We’re going to be in a pretty tough spot with Mr. Pale Rider. Hahaha.”
“But Mr. Pale Rider is still being held… … .”
In response to Asnest and Freezeman’s continued rambling, the agent slammed his fist on the table between them.
“You’re all so stupid… … That Ruina is targeting our research group!”
“Huh? Is that so?”
It was a dumbfounded remark from Deadly Grizzly, who still didn’t quite understand the agent’s yelling.
“The previous Ruina was an uncontrollable monster that would destroy anything she wanted. But look closely. Now, she’s killing only Stabbers without causing any damage to the surrounding area, and the place she eventually appears is where the Needle Shooter was hiding.”
“That means… … .”
“You mean it could be us next?”
“That’s very likely.”
A word from the agent, pushing up his glasses and speaking in a pitiful tone.
There was silence between them for a moment.
“Ha, but you know. This is practically our last chance, right? It’s over the moment the car leaves the city.”
The first to break the silence was, of course, Deadly Grizzly.
“We can’t rescue Pale Rider from a fast-moving vehicle.”
The agent nodded in agreement, arms folded.
“Well, none of us have the ability to run as fast as a car. If we leave the metropolitan area, there will be more security vehicles.”
“So we have only one choice: rescue Pale Rider before Ruina arrives.”
“It looks like they’re about to leave? There’s a commotion at the entrance to the detention center.”
“Okay. Let’s rescue Pale Rider and finish him off before Ruina gets here!”
Anyway, there’s only one chance.
The remaining executives of the Supernatural Ability Research Association rose from their seats with determination.

But just a few minutes later.
As if they were waiting for the villains to come.
Ruina stands on top of the convoy, which has stopped after crashing into a telephone pole.
He was looking down at them dryly.
In the meantime, one person.
Their staff agent had already turned into a red piece of meat.
The villains who lost their commander before even fighting couldn’t wipe the look of bewilderment off their faces.
“Why are you bothering us… … !”
Deadly Grizzly’s moaning cry, boasting arms thicker than Ruina’s waist.
Having lost both of his proud arms to Ruina, he was left lying on the floor, waiting for death.
“… … … … .”
There was no answer from Ruina.
It seems to be expressing that the gap between you and me is just this much.
He just silently looked down at the villains looking up at him.
“Why are you trying to kill us!? You let the guards escape!!”
Arsenist used his pyrotechnic powers to draw fire from his arms and fired.
When the research team’s executives approached the convoy.
The corrections officers driving the vehicle and those escorting them had long since fled.
However, the villains of the research group that came afterward were either killed or injured.
It was obvious that it was aimed at them.
“, as the agent said… … . That monster was only after us… … .”
A trembling word from the Freezeman.
The villains, who were like lanterns in the wind, only had one question in their minds: ‘Why?’
But whatever they say.
Whatever you think.
Ruina simply remained silent and spread her arms wide.
“Hey Freezeman! You freeze that guy somehow! If we work together, we can at least buy enough time to escape!”
“Oh, I got it! And don’t come out in front! If you don’t want to end up like Mr. Grizzly…!”
Before Ruina moves.
The villains who could control fire and cold jumped in different directions.
For them, their fellow prisoners in the convoy were already a distant memory.
Attack Ruina to create an opening.
And then runs away.
All I could think about was being cornered by a predator or being the prey.
“Taaaat!!”
Hurrruk!
A bright red flame shoots out from Arsenist’s fist.
As befitting his classification as a S-class designated villain, his flames were not child’s play, but were so hot that they could melt iron.
“Haaa… !”
Let’s make it!
The cold air extending from Freezeman begins to slowly seep into Ruina’s body.
Likewise, as a S-class villain, his coldness was fiercer than the Antarctic wind, and even just touching him would cause frostbite of more than 3 degrees.
A joint attack by two villains that would be too much for a normal human to even scratch a bone.
Ruina, who is taking all of those attacks,
“Ugh!?”
“Wow!!”
Before I knew it, I was holding the heads of the two villains that had spread apart in one hand.
“Which, in the gap… … !”
“Sa, save me… Sa, save me… … .”
Not paying attention to their trembling voices.
The moment Ruina brought her arms together, causing their heads to bump into each other.
Crispy!!!
The two villains met the same fleeting end as their departed comrades.
“One… . No, is this the end?”
Ruina muttered as she looked at the huge body of Deadly Grizzly, which had now become motionless.
As planned, she single-handedly wiped out all the executives of the Supernatural Research Society.
But it’s not over yet.
The reason the villains gathered here.
Because there was still one remaining rat at her feet.
Crunch crunch crunch!!
With her bare hands, Ruina lightly tore off the roof of the convoy vehicle as if it were a can lid.
Then the trembling man was pulled up like a fish on a fishing line.
“SS-class villain Pale Rider. Are you afraid of death when you call yourself a death knight?”
“Pa… , Destroyer… … .”
Pale Rider, who had been vividly hearing the successive deaths of his comrades with both ears, could not dare to feel anything but fear when he heard Ruina’s altered voice.
But that doesn’t mean I can hide in the shadows and run away.
Strangely, since a while ago, there were no shadows at all around Ruina and herself.
Pale Rider had no idea that it was due to Ruina’s destructive power.
“You know what happens to what I touch.”
Immediately after Ruina said that.
Pale Rider’s prison uniform, which had been holding the back of his neck, was disintegrated into molecules and disappeared.
And once again.
Ruina’s powerful strength held him in check.
Only this time, it wasn’t his clothes, it was his hair.
“Heeek!! Please save me! If you just save me, I’ll do anything, anything!! Everything you need! Money, women, power, I’ll give it all!! So please!! Please!!! Have mercy──.”
That was when the villain’s final plea was scattered like a helpless wind of blood.
Kukwaaang!!!
A sudden explosion occurred in the space where Ruina was standing.
“… … … … .”
Ruina, who easily avoided the explosion, turned her head slightly.
“Why did you take my revenge away… … . Ruina!!”
There was a hero in a red costume with a cast on one arm and a very twisted expression on his face.
