The Strongest Man Blackens Because of Boredom

God or Monster?

“We are enemies? Since when? "Shaikou was still very shocked, asking with wide eyes.

But Shaikou's shocked question came unanswered when all of the heroes that were staring at him on guard were even more vigilant when they saw Ivan appearing behind Shaikou, even scolding Shaikou with familiarity in his tone.

“You are friends with a wanted criminal?!"Shaikou was answered with a question back that Shaikou, who was still confused as to when did he become an enemy of the entire hero organization, furrowed his brows after hearing such a question coming out from the mouth of the wide-eyed S-class hero he fought and almost killed just an hour ago.

An hour ago?

If the heroes whom he fought with carelessly but was still able to threaten their lives hear such thoughts, they will surely feel that they want to cry, but without any crystal tears, but just bloody tears.

“What friends? "Shaikou asked again with a frown.

Kaijin, who only wished or acted as a bystander, also frowned along with him, realizing that there was no one that took the time to answer the question of another.

The question was answered, but the answer was a question back to the person that questioned.

So... messy and confusing.

Kaijin looked at the heroes she accompanied, who were very vigilant after Ivan appeared, then at Shaikou, who looked at Ivan in disgust after hearing the words friends. Her eyes wandered around as she inadvertently caught sight of a person inside the apartment, glowing.

Kaijin heart skipped a beat when she found out that the light on the scepter she brought along just in case she ran out of mana was getting brighter and brighter, especially when her eyes made contact with his dark eyes.

Kaijin raised her left foot without any restraint or resistance to the force that is making her go inside; she stepped inside without paying attention to anyone, and the hero who was attracted to her movements was speechless when she went inside.

As Shaikou also widened his eyes, looking over at Kaijin, who entered his apartment without soulless eyes.

But that is not what Shaikou is bothered by the most.

The thing that bothered him most was that this girl entered his apartment with her shoes still on!

Unforgivable!

Simply unforgivable!

When Shaikou's hand formed into a fist and was about to fight with this unforgivable person, the gravity around them suddenly became heavier, rendering them from moving—well, rendering Shaikou from moving as he was the only one that had the intention to move and had the intention to fight.

Kaijin, who was also moving, only stopped for a second before she resumed, as if she were the only one that had the exception to move.

Shaikou's eyes were red, looking over at Kaijin, who was not at all affected by the gravity that surrounded them.

"Shaikou...” Yawhi's voice sounded as the gravity pressing over them, not allowing them to move, disappeared.

Shaikou heart skipped a beat after being told, and Ivan, who believed that he did nothing wrong, rolled his eyes at him and entered the apartment with no door.

Shaikou pursed his lips, straightening out the collar that crooked because of his intention to fight no matter how cost, entered the apartment and smiled with flattering eyes.

“Yes?”

Yawhi silently stared back at him.

Shaikou gulped and, without being ordered over, sat on the ground, glaring at the people that were standing outside, dumbfounded at the sudden turn of events that happened before them.

“Hey! Who are you?! ”One of the class S heroes that looks like a ruffian glared at Yawhi, who’s stare from Shaikou got transferred to him, as Yawhi silently stared at him while Shaikou breathed a sigh of relief.

He never thought that there would come a day where he was so powerless and didn’t even know what to do in front of such people.

Well…

Even though Yawhi is really not one that can be categorized as ‘people’ but a being—a high being that all of them—people—are required to respect even if there is no worship at all.

Shaikou does not know what to think after this.

Zero glared back at Yawhi, who continued to stare at him as Yawhi's eyes lowered, murmuring something under his breath. Shaikou and Ivan heart raced just after Yawhi murmured something that sounded like an evil chant.

It was not really an evil chant, but in the ears of Shaikou, who was almost sentenced to his death, and Ivan, who was sentenced to live just until the mission is still not over yet before he is executed, it sounded so evil that the two of them instinctively shuddered.

But their shuddering did not stop there as the two of them looked over at the 20^th or more heroes coming inside the apartment with their eyes empty, completely soulless, as if a puppet being controlled over by a certain someone.

And who is that certain someone?

Shaikou and Ivan already know who it is, just judging by how Yawhi's dark eyes changed into light green.

But when Ivan continued to be amazed, awed but also fearful at the same time, Shaikou, who also felt the same way, felt something else other than that as he watched his apartment getting more and more cramped after the heroes that came to his home for a fight entered his apartment one after another, just like what they had been ordered.

His lips pursed as he looked over at Yawhi, who still silently stared at all of the people outside, watching if all people entered the apartment.

But!

Shaikou can’t just watch Yawhi let people in.

After all, the apartment felt too cramped already when it was just 5 people who entered first.

So, despite his heart racing faster because of nervousness, Shaikou gulped as he was about to complain in a natural way without showing his nervousness at all, when Ivan, who was beside him and seemed to know what he was up to, held his arm and frowned at him.

“What are you up to again? "Ivan sternly asked.

Shaikou was afraid of Yawhi, but he certainly is not afraid of Ivan, who was all talk all day today.

“Let go of me! "Shaikou gritted his teeth as he glared at Ivan, who also glared back at him.

“I know that you are feeling cramped already, but are you really going to order that guy to stop those troublesome people from entering your apartment? It seemed that you forgot already what happened to me a while ago! If that happened to me, I bet you also will be able to experience it, so calm down and just let the matter take its course,” Ivan said in a low voice and did not let any word escape as he emphasized each word, rolling his eyes after as if it were a matter of course that Shaikou shut up even if he does not want to shut up.

A smug smile made way to Ivan's lips just after reasoning with Shaikou, when his smug smile faltered after seeing that the people that were coming in order stopped after his words.

As people who entered went outside, leaving only Xia, Kaijin, and Zero, the ruffian that had the big guts to question Yawhi, Ivan blinked, confused as Shaikou smiled, finally feeling refreshed when his apartment is not cramped anymore.

But before the two of them could even get down to their own business, Yawhi suddenly turned his head to look at them.

“If you have anything to say, just say it upfront. I can hear your voice no matter how low your voice is.” Yawhi paused, and as if realizing something, he coldly looked at the two of them in the eyes, adding to say, “Did you already forget what I am? ”

“…”

Ivan and Shaikou, hearing Yawhi's words, were silent.

Because even if they did not forget who Yawhi really is, they really forgot his countless powers. Wanting to hear them despite the long distance between them is just a piece of cake for Yawhi if he had the intention to do so.

But even if he did not have any intention, he will still be able to hear it accordingly.

After all, he is currently using hypnotizing power, so he was extremely vigilant to his surroundings.

But what made the two of them extremely embarrassed to admit is that they really forgot.

Forgot…

But even if they did forget, they will never admit it.

It’s too embarrassing, even if it was only the three of them that witnessed such a thing.

Yawhi did not know that he momentarily made the two, whom he decided to take on as a subordinate, have their thoughts wandering in another direction, he will never think at all.

But even if Yawhi does really know what is currently going on inside the minds of these subordinates, he can’t do anything about it when he is already tired.

He was a god sure. Gods should practice abstinence and will never sleep anymore, but after all, even if he were a god, he was still in a human form now. Even if he still retains all his powers as a god, his form is a normal human that really needs sleep to supplement the energy a human body should have.

Yawhi did not bother with the two anymore as he stared at the three people that he left inside, while the other heroes that were cramping inside a while ago stood outside, with lifeless eyes, guarding the apartment from any other intruder.

His left hand raised, snapping it once before the lifeless eyes of Xia, Zero, and Kaijin faded away as the three of them stared confusedly at Yawhi in front of them.

A moment passed, and realization finally hit their faces as Zero, who was the one that first realized what just happened after a moment of blackout, widened his eyes as he stood up and pointed at Yawhi's face.

“WHAT DID YOU DO TO US?! "Zero loudly shouted, snapping Xia and Kaijin out in a daze after they realized that they had been controlled without any resistance at all.

Xia glared at Yawhi while Kaijin also widened her eyes, leaning back, having the intention to escape from this place that seemed so dangerous for her—no, for them.

This place is really dangerous for them, not only for her and for the heroes that she came along with on this place, but also for Shaikou and his wanted friend—Ivan.

She knew this just by how the scepter on her hand kept getting out of control and wanting to come closer to where Yawhi is, making her heart race faster because of doubt and fear towards the person in front of her, staring at them with those silent dark eyes, as if wanting them to be absorbed and willingly controlled with those dark orbs.

Each of the people with superpower inside the apartment has their own thoughts, but those thoughts and careful movements were stopped as they looked at Yawhi pinching Zero neck hard with eyes so cold that Shaikou and Ivan, who only know Yawhi as a silent and formal man, were so shocked, along with Xia and Kaijin, whose hearts raced even faster.

Zero, who was struggling from Yawhi's tight hold on his neck, widened his eyes as he gagged for breath, realizing that his power cannot be used—no, his power seemed to be disactivated at this time, as it cannot be used on the person in front of him.

“Don’t test my patience again and again"

"I’m not the typical nice god in your stories,” Yawhi darkly said, changing his eye color to red and pinching Zero neck even harder without any mercy.

Zero eyes shrink in fear as a shiver runs down to his spine.

He felt like crying, but without any tears, just snots running down from his nose because of not being able to breathe.

Huuu.

What monster did he encounter today?
