I choose a C ranked hero in another world, I was mocked online-Chapter 346: God Among Men — Chen Ye!

Chapter 346: God Among Men — Chen Ye!

Moments later—

A figure flew back to Earth from outer space.

It was Boros, the alien who had been punched into space by Chen Ye.

As a galactic overlord who had wandered the cosmos for decades, Boros could of course fly—and very fast at that. His return wasn't surprising.

Chen Ye had expected this.

At this moment, Boros was no longer wearing his fearsome armor. His skin was fully exposed to the air.

And his skin had changed color—it was now an intense, glowing white. In addition, thick purple lines resembling spider webs crisscrossed his entire body.

Though he had shed his armor, the aura radiating from Boros was even more terrifying—like a nuclear reactor glowing red-hot, ready to explode at any moment.

Seeing Boros return, the online audience didn't seem too concerned.

"Holy crap? He took a punch like that and still didn't die?!"

"That defense is insane!"

"So what if he's alive? With Lord Ye here, what's he gonna do, flip the heavens?"

"Exactly. This alien dude isn't even that strong. He's just tanky."

"LOL, that bald guy is too damn fierce. My advice—alien better run while he can!"

...

After what they had just seen,

In the eyes of humanity, Chen Ye was now nothing short of divine.

Many had developed blind faith in him.

And who could blame them? Chen Ye had just wiped out an alien fleet in an overwhelmingly brutal, one-sided massacre...

But Chen Ye himself didn't feel nearly as relaxed.

Seeing Boros return so quickly, his expression grew slightly grim.

Familiar with the story, he knew this was Boros after unlocking all restraints—his complete form, his final transformation: Meteoric Burst Mode!

In this state, Boros was going all out!

In the capital city—

Suddenly, piercing air-raid sirens began to sound...

And then, a voice came over the broadcast:

"The true crisis is approaching. All citizens are urged to evacuate to shelters immediately. If you are far from one, seek cover at once..."

People froze in confusion.

"The real crisis? Didn't that bald guy already destroy the alien fleet? What's the danger?"

"Could it be... that alien leader who came back?"

"One alien commander—what's the big deal? Is the government overreacting?"

"Uh... maybe I'll just go find a place to hide anyway!"

At that moment,

Many people in the capital were still livestreaming on their phones.

So netizens also heard the broadcast and began fervent discussions.

Up in the sky—

Boros ignored the human announcements. His gaze swept the area and saw that his entire fleet... had been completely obliterated.

Instantly, fury welled up in his chest.

His single eye locked onto the bald human.

Though Boros looked furious, he was actually quite calm inside.

That punch from Chen Ye had done more than just launch him into space.

Half his body had been blown away.

If not for his incredible regenerative abilities, that one punch would have killed him.

In other words, this bald human... possessed terrifying power!!

Boros couldn't help but recall something.

Long ago, on a planet he had once slaughtered, he encountered a race of seers. One of their wise men had told him he would meet someone in another time and space—someone stronger than him, someone who would kill him...

Back then, Boros had dismissed it as a curse—the impotent fury of the weak—and didn't take it seriously.

But now... it seemed...

At that thought,

Boros's fists clenched tight.

His single eye filled with blood-red veins as he stared at Chen Ye.

He grinned—a ferocious and eager smile.

"You destroyed my fleet. You'll pay with your life!"

As the words fell,

Boros turned into a flash of light and shot toward Chen Ye like lightning.

Chen Ye was already prepared and moved instantly.

The two were unbelievably fast—blindingly so!

People watching from the capital couldn't make out their movements at all. They could only see two streaks, like meteors, slamming into each other.

BOOM!

It was like an oxygen bomb exploding midair, sending a massive shockwave across the sky.

And that... was just their first collision.

What followed—

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

Deafening explosions rang out repeatedly.

The sky trembled with their shockwaves. The aftershocks struck the ground, causing tremors.

Though the battle was happening in the sky, it was powerful enough to cause earthquakes!

It felt like the heavens and the earth were crying out in pain!

And this was with much of the destructive force from their clashes canceling each other out. If they attacked the ground directly, this blue planet wouldn't survive even a few strikes.

Only now—

Did the citizens of the capital understand why the government had issued an evacuation alert.

Only now—

Did the netizens realize why Lord Ye hadn't left the sky after destroying the alien fleet...

That alien—was this powerful?

No wonder he had dared to set up a battle arena and challenge Earth's strongest warriors.

His destructive power alone surpassed that of the entire alien fleet!

BOOM!!

Suddenly—

Boros's punch struck the ground.

Immediately—

It was like a nuclear bomb had gone off. A crater a full kilometer wide opened up.

Even though the impact was at the city's edge, it still caused major casualties!

Chen Ye's expression changed on the spot.

He had been trying to lure Boros away, hoping to shift the battlefield elsewhere.

But Boros didn't fall for it. The moment Chen Ye disengaged, he turned his attacks on the ground.

Clearly, Boros knew—

This bald human cared about the people.

So he was determined to anchor the battle right in the densely populated capital, to provoke Chen Ye!

To Boros, humans were just aliens. He didn't care about their lives.

...

Woooo!

Screaming alarms echoed across the capital.

This time—

Even without official warning, the citizens began fleeing in panic.

Online—

Seeing Boros cause a nuclear-level explosion with a single punch, countless netizens turned pale with fear.

In that moment, they finally realized:

This one-eyed alien was far more terrifying than an entire alien fleet.

If Chen Ye couldn't stop him today,

Humanity was doomed.

"So, you care about these insects' lives?"

Up in the air, Boros suddenly halted and looked at Chen Ye mockingly. "Next, I'll kill them all. Even if they hide underground—it won't matter."

Hearing this, Chen Ye's face remained calm.

Of course he understood—

Boros was trying to provoke him, force a mistake.

If that's the game—

"Consecutive Serious Punches!"

Chen Ye charged at Boros.

Before he even reached him, the sky was already filled with the shadows of his fists.

Instantly—

The air around them turned violently turbulent.

A suffocating pressure made Boros's expression change on the spot.

He tried to counterattack with the same approach—but Chen Ye was faster. Stronger. By far.

In the blink of an eye,

Boros was blown to pieces.

All that remained was a single eye, filled with shock and rage.

Then—

His flesh and blood rapidly gathered again, and in less than a second, he had completely regenerated.

After recovering, Boros didn't counterattack. Instead, he shot upward into the sky.

"Damn human! You and this planet—turn to dust in the universe!"

"Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!!!"

Blinding energy radiated from Boros's entire body—brighter than the sun.

It was clear this was his ultimate move.

The moment Chen Ye heard the name "Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon," he shot into the sky without hesitation.

He wasn't Saitama—he wouldn't passively defend.

Blue Star was now his home. He would never allow it to be put in danger.

So instead of waiting for Boros to fire the move and then counter it, Chen Ye chose to crash into Boros head-on.

As he closed in, Chen Ye clenched his right fist—

And unleashed a punch.

This punch...

Chen Ye poured every ounce of strength into it.

FWOOOOSH!

Suddenly, the sky lit up!

It was still just morning—but it was brighter than midday.

The intense light, like a massive flashbang, left countless people unable to open their eyes—let alone watch what happened.

After quite a while,

The light gradually dimmed, and people slowly regained their sight.

Then—

Everyone was stunned by the scene above.

The atmosphere had been torn open by a massive rupture...

For a moment, outer space was clearly visible from the ground.

Fortunately, it was still early morning and the sun was to the east.

Had it been noon, the sun's rays would have poured straight through the rupture. Without the atmosphere's protection, the star's radiation would've killed countless people.

Of course, no one cared about that now.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the "miracle" in the sky.

It was unimaginable that such a sight was caused by a single punch from a human.

Then—

Someone noticed a figure rapidly falling from mid-air.

It wasn't the god-like bald man.

It was the alien!!

...

Thud!

Boros crashed into a downtown street.

Panicked pedestrians scrambled out of the way.

Fortunately, Chen Ye descended right after him, landing beside Boros.

At this moment, Boros looked utterly pitiful.

His body had reverted to its original blue-skinned state. His previously muscular form was now gaunt and skeletal. His once-vibrant hair had turned completely white—he looked like a dying old alien.

Chen Ye saw this and didn't feel the least bit joyful. He let out a faint sigh.

This appearance of Boros was much worse than in the original story.

It showed that his own strength was still far from the real bald demon king.

"I lost..."

Boros said weakly, "Kill me."

Chen Ye looked down at him from above, then slowly crouched.

At this point, Boros had completely drained his energy—he no longer posed any threat.

Then—

Chen Ye raised one hand and placed it on Boros's head.

One push was all it would take to reduce him to fragments, with no chance of regeneration.

Just as Chen Ye was about to strike, Boros suddenly asked:

"That punch just now... was that your full strength?"

"Yes," Chen Ye nodded. "Your final move—I could feel how terrifying it was. I had to stop it in advance, or else I might've been the one to lose."

Upon hearing this, Boros revealed a satisfied smile.

Then, he closed his eye.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye granted him a swift death.

This moment—

Was captured and broadcast live by onlookers.

Seeing the alien finally killed, countless netizens erupted into cheers...

...

In the blink of an eye—

A week had passed.

Even after a full week, the impact of the alien invasion hadn't faded at all.

One man—

Had become humanity's ultimate superhero.

Worshipped and revered by countless people.

For Young Master Chen, who had single-handedly turned the tide and defeated the alien invaders, everyone's gratitude was mixed with burning curiosity.

As a result—

Every detail of Chen Ye's past was dug up by the public.

There wasn't much to say about his earlier life, since his performance before was fairly ordinary. His legendary rise only began three years ago, after he bonded with his hero talent.

First, there was heated debate online about what kind of hero talent Chen Ye had bonded with.

Most believed it had to be the legendary S1-class talent. Otherwise, how could he be so strong?

Only a god-tier talent could produce such a powerful "true god"!

Even the infamous "mistaken identity" incident from years ago was brought up again. The officials responsible for that blunder were quickly dismissed, and Chen Ye's former homeroom teacher was reinstated—and actually promoted to principal.

However, a few netizens insisted the testing equipment back then had not malfunctioned. They speculated that Chen Ye had indeed bonded with a C-class hero talent.

Recently, one C-class hero had mysteriously vanished.

These netizens suggested that maybe the missing C-class hero... was somehow connected to Chen Ye.

But this theory didn't gain much traction and was never widely accepted.

Next—

Came attention on Chen Ye's performance in the secret realm.

Just three days after the alien's defeat, many began speculating that all the miraculous achievements supposedly attributed to Tang Zichen were actually thanks to Chen Ye!

On the fifth day, Tang Zichen publicly confirmed this.

From start to finish, all the extra rewards they'd earned in the secret realm—were thanks to Chen Ye!!

Her statement was like pouring oil on a fire, instantly sending Chen Ye's popularity to new heights.

More and more people began discussing him...

...

While the internet was burning with hype, Chen Ye ignored it all.

Of course, to say he wasn't affected at all would be a lie.

For example—he hadn't left the house all week.

Who didn't know who he was now?

Even a three-year-old child could recognize him as Blue Star's greatest hero.

As for this situation—

Chen Ye had long been prepared.

From the moment he struck, he had anticipated everything that would follow.

Today—

Marked the eighth day since defeating Boros.

Chen Ye rose early, dressed neatly, then put on a disguise. With gifts in hand, he got into his father's car and left home with his parents.

Chairman Chen and Yang Rongzhi were also impeccably dressed today.

Such formality, of course—

Because Chen Ye was heading to the Tang family...

To propose.
