I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 381 Breaking through the Limits and Opening the Restrictions

In the early morning, the breeze blows through the sunny streets, and pedestrians come and go in a hurry.

Several young people were walking and chatting.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"What? Stop keeping me in suspense."

"Recently, a madman appeared, calling himself the Hero Hunter, and he's been attacking professional heroes everywhere. It's said that A-class heroes like Golden Ball and Springbeard have been attacked."

In the evening, on a sunny weekday, on the street after get off work, a few pedestrians were walking and talking.

A young man with glasses and wearing a green sports suit ran past them, sweating and panting.

The pedestrians who were chatting stopped and stared at the young man with glasses passing by and said suspiciously: "I think I've seen that guy somewhere before. He seems to be a professional hero..."

"I have no impression... He seems like an ordinary person."

"Did you remember it wrong?"

"You are doubting my memory! I am sure I remember it correctly! I just can't remember it at the moment... Never mind, he is just a C-class hero with no reputation. It doesn't matter."

The young people's unbridled chatter could be heard from afar by the young man with glasses who was running.

A gloomy look flashed across the face of the young man with glasses, but after taking a deep breath, his expression quickly became firm. He took another deep breath and quickened his running pace.

Soon, the young man with glasses ran around the city for 20 kilometers and returned to the training ground in a remote neighborhood.

【House of Evolution】.

This is a snack bar with a strange name, specializing in selling takoyaki and various octopus foods.

"Hey, Hirata-kun, you're a few minutes faster today than yesterday. You've made significant progress."

At the door was a man wearing a white chef's uniform and an apron. He also wore glasses and was very gentle. He seemed to be a strange match for the young man with glasses, giving the impression of being a member of a glasses lovers association.

The young man called Hirata-kun nodded, walked into the store silently, came to the open space in the backyard, took a short rest, and then started exercising again.

200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 200 squats.

An hour later, after completing all the training content, Hirata was sweating all over, panting, and almost exhausted.

He wiped off the sweat, took off his wet clothes, and changed into another set of sportswear.

Looking at his body in the mirror, which was not thin but not strong either, Hirata turned around and asked the gentle man with glasses next to him.

I asked tiredly, "Dr. Kinos, can I really break through my limits by training like this?"

It has been more than two months, and this training has been repeated every day with little effect.

Hirata felt tired and lost.

Hirata was once a C-rank professional hero, and although he worked very hard, his hero ranking did not improve for many years because of his poor talent.

Anyway, I have seen the filth and deceit in the hero circle. Many heroes are scheming for fame and profit.

Hirata, frustrated, decided to quit the ranks of heroes. But that day, he met a dangerous weirdo and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, he was rescued by the Beast Squad, and the unconscious Hirata was taken back to the House of Evolution, where he met the man behind this unofficial hero team, Dr. Genos.

After listening to Hirata's experience, Dr. Genos said that he is currently conducting a research that can allow ordinary people to break through human limits and master powerful powers comparable to S-class heroes.

Invite Hirata to be his test subject.

Help him become stronger for free.

Hirata originally refused. Human body research sounded dangerous.

But seeing Dr. Kinos and his team, they have been doing heroic activities without asking for anything in return.

Hirata was inspired by their selfless spirit, which reminded him of why he became a hero in the first place.

He decided to give it one more try to see if he could go further on the road to becoming a hero.

So he finally accepted Dr. Kinos' invitation and began his daily hellish "research".

I do physical training in the morning, running 20 kilometers, doing 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, and 200 squats.

In the afternoon, I run to help deliver takeout, while hunting weirdos nearby alone.

At night, he worked in Dr. Kinos's store as a waiter and dishwasher.

It can be said that life is extremely fulfilling.

This "experiment" was far from what Hirata had imagined.

Shouldn't he lie on the operating table, undergo some biochemical transformation, be injected with drugs, and then transform into a superhero overnight?

In response to Hirata's question, Dr. Kinos just smiled faintly.

"Hirata-kun, you take it for granted. Those are low-level methods. True evolution naturally relies on the power of human beings themselves. Only through rigorous training and strong will can the limiters be unlocked and extraordinary powers be awakened."

Dr. Kinos said that everyone has something called a "limiter". By breaking through the limiter, one can break through human limits, break through the shackles of mortals, and awaken extraordinary powers.

The experiment he was currently conducting on Hirata was precisely the method to unlock the limiter.

Although Hirata was somewhat skeptical of this theory, in order to become stronger, he still trained seriously according to Dr. Genos's requirements.

Although there has been obvious progress in more than two months, it is still far from the level that Dr. Kinos said would exceed human limits.

In response, Hirata believed that it was because he had not trained long enough.

But Dr. Kinos said that his problem was that he didn't really believe in himself. Without a strong will, it is impossible to break the limiter.

"Hirata-kun, the key is not the content of the training. The training is just to make you more aware of your own limits."

"The key to breaking through the limiter lies in the power of the subconscious mind. Hirata-kun, you are too rational and question everything that is unscientific. This is what restricts you from breaking through the limit."

Hirata could understand what Dr. Kinos said.

But isn’t it self-deception to subconsciously believe that you can surpass human limits?

How is it possible?

After finishing the training, Hirata changed into work clothes and started his evening job as a waiter.

Soon the store became lively.

Because of its good quality and low price, the Evolution House Takoyaki restaurant attracts many office workers to have a drink and party after get off work.

The store was almost full and Hirata started to get busy.

At this moment, the TV in the restaurant lobby flickered and switched to an emergency news program.

[Latest news: A strange man appeared in Dongerli, East District 1, City Z. It is tentatively classified as a tiger-level disaster. Please take shelter nearby citizens! ]

Hirata glanced at Dr. Kinos, who nodded.

Hirata walked silently to the inner room, preparing to change clothes and go to fight monsters. Killing the monsters nearby was also one of his jobs.

But at this moment, the TV began to flicker, the screen turned into a snowy one, and then the power went out with a click.

The lights in the entire store went out.

power cut?

Many diners were startled and started to make a commotion.

Hirata quickly turned back to maintain order, shouting, "Don't panic, everyone. Please wait where you are. It's just a temporary power outage. We'll light the candles right away!"

Hirata glanced at the street and found that not only this store had a power outage, but it seemed that the whole street and even the entire City Z had a power outage.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the darkness, and there were exclamations everywhere.

Hirata looked in the direction of the light's source, and saw in front of everyone, in the visitor hall, blue light screens floating in the air like holographic projections.

There is a light screen the size of a TV screen floating in front of almost everyone.

On the streets outside, large and small blue light screens floated in front of the pedestrians, illuminating the blackout streets and reflecting the surprised faces of the people.

What is this?

Just as people were wondering, an unclear figure appeared on the blue light screen. The body was shrouded in black mist, with only two white lights in the area of ​​the eyes, emitting a mysterious aura.

[Hello, Earthlings. I am the god of martial arts from another world.]

The ethereal and magnificent voice rang directly in everyone's mind.

It makes people subconsciously feel awe.

Everyone was immediately shocked.

People like Kinos and Hirata looked even more solemn. They had realized that something terrible had happened.
