North District – Reduced to Ruin
The S-tier hero — Armored Beast barely had time to process what was happening.
Super Scott's fingers had torn through his juggernaut armor like it was wet paper. A sickening crack, the screech of metal, and then— pain. The kind of pain that didn't come with warning signs, just immediate, raw agony.
From his cracked HUD, his AI sputtered out a report:
[Armor integrity down by 40%… 67%… WARNING: Critical failure imminent.]
Armored Beast's frown deepened.
"Tch… damn it. Redirect all offensive power to the force bubble shields, reinforce it, and then—"
His voice choked.
A sharp, unbearable pain in his right arm.
His actual arm.
He looked down—blood and electricity splattered across the battlefield as his severed arm and armor were casually discarded by Super Scott like a piece of garbage. The severed limb landed with a dull, wet thud, tangled with bones, torn wires, and sparking circuits.
Super Scott barely reacted.
