Harem Streamer System: Every Crime I Broadcast Wins Me a Superheroine - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Reformation
Just as Scott started to move forward, Miss Mercury zipped in front of him with her trademark golden blur to stop him dead in his tracks. Her hands shot out to her sides, palms waving frantically toward Lady Fortress and Pulsar as she laughed nervously.

“W-, Wait! It’s not like that! I didn’t say my guy because this weirdo’s my boyfriend or anything!”

She jerked a thumb back at Scott while obviously avoiding everyone’s eyes.

“I was just, uh… you know, trying to give the ugly guy a chance! Yeah, that’s it!”

Scott tilted his head. “Ugly?”

Mercury’s head snapped back to him, and she winced before quickly plastering on a cocky grin. She placed a hand on his face, then pushed him back just enough to silence him.

“Yeah! Ugly!”

She declared with pride, giving a short laugh as though she’d said something clever. She turned back to the other women, folding her arms smugly under her breasts, making sure they noticed her ‘assertive confidence.’

“Hah, as if I’d date someone like him! My real boyfriend? Oh, he’s a dreamboat! Black hair, blue eyes, smooth face, jawline of a Greek god. Muscles that make me wanna clean and cook for him all day~”

She swooned.

Her hands pressed to her cheeks as literal heart shapes appeared in her sparkling yellow eyes.

“And those lips! They’re like an Amazonian princess’s! He’s soooo dreamy…”

The livestream chat exploded instantly.

[Damn, BK just got friend-zoned.💀]

[ “Ugly”?! Is she blind? My man’s been carrying this entire fight. Give him RESPEKTT!]

[Hold up, who’s this boyfriend? ‘Cause now I’m jealous.]

[New kids in chat don’t even know BK. Y’all weren’t here when he cleared out Blue Garden Hotel solo.]

└ [They be calling him BK like his name ain’t Nightwatch. Psssh, bunch of clowns.]

[Yeah, and no face ID? Dude’s been untraceable. He’s next level.]

[Mercury got standards so high they’re interdimensional. 💀 Respect.]

[Tightest suit in the room still acting like she don’t notice BK. Stop lying, sis. 💀💀]

[@SleazyPen bro stop simping in every stream I swear. 😂]

└ [On our souls he’ll listen. 😭🙏]

└ [We’re not seeing 2046 😳]

･･･

Lady Fortress raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed with Mercury’s dramatics, while Pulsar’s cheeks grew redder and redder with every word.

“Wow… that’s how I describe him too ❤️~”

Pulsar murmured softly as her small body swayed as she twisted her hips from side to side, caught in a daydream.

“I bet he’s just… so handsome…”

Mercury and Lady Fortress both turned toward her as Mercury’s smug grin quickly turned to confusion.

Still lost in her thoughts, Pulsar cupped her flushed cheeks and giggled like a love-struck kitten.

Scott squinted at her.

“A guy could be perfect for you, and you’d still find a way to mess things up with him.”

Pulsar blinked out of her reverie. “Excuse me?”

Mercury turned back to Scott with a sharp glare.

“Yeah, what the hell, man?”

Lady Fortress crossed her arms as her piercing blue eyes narrowed at him.

Scott glanced away with irritation. “Tch. Whatever…”

[Livestream Chat: 2.75M viewers]

[Ayo, BK out here throwing strays. 💀]

[Mercury x BK? Pulsar x BK? Nah, Lady Fortress x BK. Let’s goooo.]

[Can y’all stop shipping and start analyzing? BK has layers, bro. The angst. The mystery.]

[Fanfic writers bout to cook with this one. 💀]

[Meanwhile, chat acting like they ain’t single themselves. Y’all gotta stop the cap. 😂]

･･･

Lady Fortress sighed heavily and raised both hands to silence the group’s bickering.

“Enough. I’m under orders from the Hero Agency to secure a sample of that creature. They need it to cross-reference with an unidentified extraterrestrial organism we’ve been studying in Area 51.”

Scott’s eyes widened behind his visor.

“Wait… Area 51 actually exists?!”

Without thinking, he rushed in front of her, placing both hands on her shoulders as he leaned in.

Lady Fortress flinched slightly at the sudden proximity.

Standing much shorter than him, she tilted her head back to meet his eyes as her lips pursed in clear discomfort.

It wasn’t just that he was tall—she was also much shorter and noticeably smaller compared to him.

Scott blinked and stepped back immediately, jerking his hands away.

“Uh, sorry about that.”

Lady Fortress exhaled softly, looking off to the side.

“It’s fine. I’m used to people… looming over me. I don’t mind being mildly short.”

Scott tilted his head. “Mildly?”

Mercury and Pulsar frantically waved their hands at him and mouthed Don’t say it, don’t say it!

But it was too late.

Scott shrugged. “If anything, I’d say you’re small.”

[Livestream Chat: 2.83M viewers]

[BK really said “small” with his whole chest. 💀💀]

[Rip Lady Fortress. Press F in chat. 😂]

[Mercury & Pulsar dying inside while BK stays oblivious.]

[The donations rolling in after this are wild. Bros made the stream better singlehandedly.]

･･･

Mercury and Pulsar slapped their hands over their faces and dragged them down in exasperation.

Meanwhile, Lady Fortress turned away, gripping her chest as she mumbled under her breath.

“Why can’t I be as tall and big as Fortitude…?”

She took a deep breath to compose herself before turning back to the group.

“I’ll collect the sample myself. The HA will lock this area down for investigation soon, and reconstruction efforts will take priority.”

Without another word, she marched off as her cape trailed behind her.

Scott watched her go, then glanced at the other two equally mischievous women.

“So… she’s just gonna ignore the small thing?”

Mercury groaned. “Bro, please. Just stop talking.”

[Livestream Chat: 3.01M viewers]

[Lady Fortress coping while Mercury and Pulsar are dying. This is gold.]

[Best stream ever. BK stays unbothered.]

[BK’s stats after this stream 📈 📈 🔥]

[Someone write fanfics where Mercury’s dream boyfriend is actually BK. 😂]

[Trolls analyzing relationships like they ain’t living in their mom’s basements. 💀💀]

･･･

Lady Fortress floated inches above the ruined ground as her white cape swayed in the faint breeze as she made her way toward a tiny fragment of Red.

The piece barely resembled the world-ending monstrosity it had been—now just a shriveled, chewed piece of gum stuck between cracked concrete slabs. Her sharp, ice-blue eyes narrowed as she crouched and plucked the fragment free.

She held it up for a better look.

Her lips pressed into a thin line.

“Hm…”

She tilted her head.

“Hard to believe something so small caused all this destruction.”

Reaching for her turquoise utility belt, she retrieved a sleek, air-sealed containment jar.

She carefully placed it inside.

Above the scene, the news chopper hovered steadily as its bright floodlights illuminated the ruins below.

Inside, Judy Cho, the feisty, sharp-tongued reporter, adjusted her headset and smiled at the camera.

“This is Judy Cho, reporting live from the aftermath of one of the most catastrophic battles we’ve ever witnessed. While it’s clear the Black Knight couldn’t defeat this threat alone, his efforts were far from meaningless. He saved countless lives and stood tall in the face of overwhelming odds, fighting until he could fight no more.”

The livestream chat on her network’s streaming app exploded in real-time.

[24/7 City Watch Livestream Chat: 1.9M viewers]

[BK is the GOAT fr fr. How many other heroes would go toe-to-toe with that thing?]

[Judy talking like BK didn’t clear six blocks solo. 🐐]

└ [Or almost destroyed all of East District with that crazy blood blast shit he did. 💀]

└ [IKR?! Shit was so fucking gas. 💪🔥]

[Miss Mercury x BK canon when?]

[Respect to the team, but BK stays top tier. 👏]

[Nah, let’s not do this now. Judy’s the real MVP. Always keepin’ it professional.]

･･･

The chopper pilot received a call and his face paled when he saw the caller ID. He nervously passed the phone to Judy, who blinked and frowned.

“What is it now?”

The moment she saw Chief John flashing on the screen, her casual demeanor crumbled. Her face went white, and her wide eyes darted to the camera.

“Shit! He’s actually calling?”

The pilot winced. “You did, uh… hang up on him earlier.”

Judy sighed heavily and slapped a hand to her forehead before reluctantly answering.

“Cho!”

Chief John’s voice roared through the headset, making both Judy and the pilot flinch.

“What the hell are you doing? Do you think you’re running a gossip column? Cutting me off—do you have any idea who you’re talking to? I swear I’ll dock your pay so hard—”

Judy groaned, pulling the phone away from her ear as the chief’s tirade continued.

Her eyes flicked toward the ground—and froze.

Lady Fortress had just sealed the fragment of Red into the containment jar, but the tiny piece began to morph. Its slimy surface writhed like a living thing and pulsated against the confines of the jar.

“Chief, I’ll have to call you back!”

Judy blurted and hung up mid-sentence.

Doing that alone made her heart sink to her stomach.

Below, Lady Fortress furrowed her brow as she held the jar at arm’s length.

“What the—”

The ground around her trembled.

Scattered shards of Red across the battlefield started to crawl and absorb anything in sight.

Cars, rubble, debris… truly anything.

They were like ravenous insects.

Scott’s voice thundered over the scene.

“Lady Fortress, get away from that thing, NOW!”

Lady Fortress turned toward him, confused. “What—”

… crack────BOOOOOOOOM!!

A massive, slimy blob of Red burst from the ground beneath her to swallow her in an instant. Her muffled scream echoed briefly before it was drowned out entirely by the sound of the grotesque creature shifting and expanding.

Scott’s knees nearly buckled as he stepped back and his fists trembled.

“No… no, no, no…”

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.62M viewers]

[BRO. WHAT?!]

[Lady Fortress just got absorbed?!]

[This ain’t regeneration… this is EVOLUTION.]

[WHY IS THIS THING STILL ALIVE?!]

[Prayers for LF, man. This is bad.]

･･･

Miss Mercury and Pulsar froze in horror as their eyes darted to every piece of Red still scattered across the battlefield. Each fragment was pulsating, growing, merging into one massive, gelatinous form.

Pulsar surged forward. “We have to—”

“NO!”

Scott roared, then held out his arms to stop both women.

“Don’t move!”

The three of them watched helplessly as the Red mass absorbed more and more material and its form swelled until it blocked out the moonlight. The monster now towered over the city as its colossal limbs capable of tearing skyscrapers apart with ease.

Now, it could pluck buildings like flowers and hurl them as though they were pebbles.

That was how massive he’d become!

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.64M viewers]

[WHAT IS THAT?! IT’S A TITAN.]

[No way. 💀 This is his ancient Red Titan Mode that hasn’t been used since the Heian Era! 🔥🔥]

└ [Those who know 💀]

└ [*Funk edit sound playing in background*]

└ [I swear y’all are not serious 😭 🙏]

[BK, do something!]

[This thing could flatten the entire city…]

[Yo, someone save Judy. Her chopper’s toast if that thing swings.]

└ [Sigh~ you just had to talk… didn’t you 💀]

･･･

In the helicopter, Judy watched the monstrosity rise.

She felt her breath hook in her throat.

“This… this is Judy Cho reporting live, and… it seems Red has… evolved into something far worse than anything we’ve ever seen—”

Her words cut off as the Red Titan’s massive, glowing eye turned directly toward the helicopter.

“Oh, no…” she whispered.

The Titan’s massive arm shot forward and its clawed hand tore the helicopter apart with a deafening screech. Judy and the pilot were flung in opposite directions as their screams faded while debris scattered like petals in the wind.

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.69M viewers]

[Yup, called it. 💀]

[JUDY, NO!]

[Save the reporter!!!]

[BK, DO SOMETHING!]

[Don’t let her die! Someone fly up there!!]

[DONATIONS FOR JUDY. SHE’S THE QUEEN OF JOURNALISM!]

･･･

Scott’s vision darted upward just as Judy Cho and the chopper pilot tumbled through the air, their screams faint against the chaos.

He clenched his fists as his heart pounded.

“System! Reactivate the Black Disaster Armor.”

If only.

[Negative. Blood loss has exceeded safe thresholds. Current projections show further strain will result in critical system failure and possible death.]

Scott’s teeth bared. “I don’t care! Just—”

[Recommended action: equip grappling attachment. Estimated survival window for the journalist: 14.8 seconds. For the pilot: 12.3 seconds. Immediate action required.]

Scott’s jaw tightened. “Fine. Let’s do this.”

Without hesitation, he grabbed his right forearm with his left hand and yanked.

… KRAAAAK!!

The damaged plating of his Black Disaster Armor tore away to reveal the modular attachment points beneath. He slapped a sleek metallic device onto his wrist, and it immediately whirred to life, then shifted and unfolded into a wrist-mounted grappling hook.

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.74M viewers]

[Bro just ripped his own armor off. Chad energy.]

[This is why Nightwatch >>> Black Knight. Man’s resourceful af.]

[IMO, Black Knight is still on top XD]

[I can’t believe this shit. Imagine arguing which side of the SAME GUY is better. 🤡]

[Still… Black Knight wouldn’t fumble this hard. 💀]

･･･

Scott raised his arm and fired.

The grappling line pierced into the skeleton of a barely standing skyscraper. With a sharp tug, the line reeled him skyward at breakneck speed. He braced himself as the ground blurred beneath him.

The wind howled in his ears as he shot closer to Judy and the pilot.

Just as his hand reached out to grab them—

The Red Titan’s massive claw swept through the air with terrifying speed.

“NOOOOO!”

Miss Mercury screamed from below.

Scott caught the movement in the corner of his eye, but it was too late.

… WHAAAAM!!

The Titan’s swing slammed into him like a freight train.

He was flung like a ragdoll as his body crashed into a water tower with a bone-shaking impact.

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.79M viewers]

[PAIN. That looked BRUTAL.]

[Bro’s fighting a final boss with 4 health bars while his is EMPTY.]

[It’s giving Rope Girl energy, ngl.]

[Nah, Rope Girl wouldn’t have gotten hit. 💀]

[Y’all wild. Man’s literally saving lives, and you’re comparing him to Rope Girl?]

└ [Akshually, that’s sexist ☝️🤓]

└ [HOW THE FUCK IS THAT SEXIST YOU RETARD?!]

└ [You’re obviously not a chill guy. 😮‍💨]

･･･

Scott groaned while blood swam tirelessly in his eyes as he staggered to his feet. Every movement felt like fire lancing through his body, but he refused to stop.

He glanced upward.

The pilot was safe—Pulsar swooped in and caught him.

But Judy…

Scott’s heart dropped as Pulsar’s fingers slipped from Judy’s hand.

“NO!” Judy screamed as she plummeted faster.

Scott’s gaze darted to the side.

A massive boulder lay nearby.

He gripped his jaw.

“Fuck this…” he muttered.

He fired the grappling hook at the boulder and began spinning it in a wide arc. Pain ripped through his shoulders as the sheer force threatened to tear his arms apart. But he gritted his teeth, muscles straining as he hurled the boulder at Red, using the momentum to catapult himself in Judy’s direction.

Below, Miss Mercury dashed around the Titan at blinding speed, distracting it with calculated precision.

… fwoooosh────CRAAAAASSH!!

The boulder slammed into Red’s side, but it did absolutely nothing to the Titan.

Scott reached Judy at the last second and wrapped his arms around her. The two tumbled through the air before crashing to the ground in a rolling heap, finally coming to rest just out of harm’s way.

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.81M viewers]

[BROOOOO. 🔥🔥]

[That was INSANE. What did I just watch?!]

[Nah, y’all saw the physics on that? How did he calculate that???]

[Rope Girl WANNABE.]

[SHUT UP. NIGHTWATCH IS THE GOAT.]

[Miss Mercury literally carrying the fight right now, though. I respect her for that XD]

[Pulsar fumbled Judy’s hand. So much for A-tier. 💀]

[Why is Peak S-tier again? Someone explain.]

└ [RIGHT?! Mercury should be at least A-tier!]

Pulsar rushed over, lowering the pilot to safety before turning to Scott.

“I’m so sorry!”

She blurted.

“I fumbled that—I don’t work well under pressure—I’m still learning and—”

Scott shook his head to cut her off. “It’s fine. I get it.”

Before he could say more, a sharp pain in his side made him stumble. Judy and Pulsar reached out to comfort him, but a blur of yellow appeared as Miss Mercury sped to his side and cradled him in her arms.

“I’ve got you…” she said in a very gentle voice.

Pulsar tilted her head. “But… the monster—”

Miss Mercury forced a smile. “I’ll handle Black Knight. You take my place for now. Just… hold him off.”

Confused, Pulsar nodded. “Uh… okay?”

[Nightwatch Livestream Chat: 3.84M viewers]

[Miss Mercury MVP. The way she just swooped in like that???]

[Is Pulsar actually about to fight Red? Oh, this gon’ be GOOD.]

[Nightwatch really out here pulling every muscle and MM’s just like, ‘I got you, bb.’]

[Black Knight x Miss Mercury CONFIRMED???]

[Nah, Miss Mercury too good for him.]

[LMAO Pulsar gonna get folded in 10 seconds.]

[Why is no one talking about how Scott literally INVENTED physics midair?]

[Peak fans in shambles rn. 💀]

[This is the best livestream we’ve ever had.]
