### Summary
As the Hero Association's authority crumbles, Child Emperor makes a shocking defection to the rival Neo Heroes, a move that seems to be a calculated gambit to expose corruption from within. The internal turmoil forces other heroes to confront their own deceptions, most notably King, the "world's strongest man." Overwhelmed by his fraudulent reputation, King makes a desperate attempt to confess the truth to executives Sekingar and Sitch, only for his confession to be comically unheard. While King contemplates a genuine path to strength, and other heroes like Zombieman and Sweet Mask pursue their own mysterious agendas, the brewing civil war between hero factions threatens to expose every lie and secret.
