The black-clothed figure stayed in mid-air, motionless, as their black cloak billowed in the wind.

Shortly after, several SS-level superheroes arrived on the scene and quickly surrounded the black-clothed figure. A person who seemed to be the leader flew to the front of the black-clothed figure.

"I am Justice Armor, an SS-level superhero certified by the Superpowers Association. Who are you? Why are you releasing your energy without reason? If you are a newly awakened superpower, I hope you can come to the association to undergo legal certification. Otherwise..."

The black-clothed figure sneered disdainfully and ignored Justice Armor's questioning.

"You think this small group of people can defeat me, the 'Infinite Green'?"

Upon hearing the black-clothed figure's words, Justice Armor was slightly surprised but quickly regained composure, wearing an expression that said, "As I suspected."

"It seems that the enormous energy detected in the sky above the ocean earlier was indeed from you, Infinite. What exactly do you want by appearing this time?"

"...?"

The black-clothed figure was puzzled by Justice Armor's words, but they didn't pay much attention and quickly entered a state of readiness.

"I, Infinite, will do whatever I want. It's not your place to interfere as an SS-level superhero."

As the figure spoke, their body was enveloped in white source energy. However, the source energy appeared somewhat mist-like because it lacked density, rather than the typical fiery form.

In response to the black-clothed figure's posture, Justice Armor's body was instantly clad in a gray-black rubbery material. It looked like an actor wearing a skin-tight suit, but it wasn't a suit. It was armor that significantly enhanced combat abilities.

Justice Armor charged at the black-clothed figure, raising a fist to strike their face, but the black-clothed figure lightly extended a palm and easily blocked the attack.

Because Justice Armor's entire body was covered in armor, outsiders couldn't see their expression, but the black-clothed figure could sense their surprise from their slight hesitation. The figure sneered disdainfully and delivered a punch to Justice Armor's abdomen, sending them flying like a bullet.

After knocking back Justice Armor, the black-clothed figure looked at the other superheroes with its red glowing eyes. Although they couldn't see the figure's face, they could feel the figure smiling at them.

At that moment, Justice Armor flew back.

"You S-level youngsters still have a promising future, so get out of here!"

"But..."

The S-level superheroes seemed to hesitate, but Justice Armor didn't pay them any further attention. Upon closer observation, it was easy to notice Justice Armor's trembling body.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I won't kill them. After all, they still have some use!" the black-clothed figure suddenly laughed maniacally. The S-level heroes glared at the figure through gritted teeth and glanced at Justice Armor before reluctantly flying away from the scene.

Justice Armor saw them leave and had a sense of foreboding. Just as an alarming thought crossed their mind, they turned and shouted in panic to the escaping heroes, "Watch out from behind!"

But it was too late.

The S-level heroes instinctively turned their heads and saw several white beams of light coming towards them. Justice Armor desperately tried to intervene, but even they were pierced in the heart by the beams. Soon, their bodies began to falter and fall alongside the other S-level heroes.

The black-clothed figure watched their bodies plummet and let out a cold laughter before disappearing from the spot.

..................

Inside a game arcade in Z City.

Game CD and gaming device shops could be seen everywhere here. The large screens on the walls displayed gaming news, and there were also areas to try out new gaming equipment for free.

"Thank you for your big purchase! Welcome back anytime!" The shopkeeper wore a smile on their face, just hoping that Green wouldn't change their mind, or they would be met with a grumpy face.

Green made several purchases from different stores, and they now had quite a collection of gaming devices. These devices were convenient to operate as they could be powered using source energy.

Source energy was not just a synonym for power; it had many applications. It was just that usually, it was not very efficient, and since it was derived from the human body, few people used this energy unless in special circumstances. But for Green, this method was most suitable for them.

Green felt that she had had enough and wanted to go back. She had a feeling that she would soon be in trouble, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

"We've had enough, let's go back, okay? This place is dangerous, and some of these monsters look really disgusting. It wouldn't be good if we got any dirty stuff on us. Let's go back."

"No."

"..."

Green wondered if she was spoiling her too much. In the past, she was a super boss that everyone was afraid of, but Aloof not only showed no fear from the beginning, but also developed a liking for her.

Well, after all, she was not the same person she used to be.

Thinking about it, Green couldn't help but imagine how she would have reacted to the current situation if she were still her old self. The thought filled her with embarrassment.

Looking back, the things she used to do were so childish and embarrassing, like standing in the middle of a busy street and shouting her own name, then laughing at the shocked faces of passersby.

"So, what should we do next? There's nothing fun here..."

"What does Green think is fun? Me?"

"Aloof, you... uh! Yes, that's right."

Green blushed and was about to make a sarcastic comment, but suddenly changed her mind and smiled, nodding at Aloof.

Green realized that her resistance only fueled Aloof's interest. But once she became assertive, the other party was likely to back down, especially with Aloof becoming more and more audacious.

However, Aloof's reaction did not go as Green expected.

"It feels weird hearing those words from a girl like you. It doesn't excite me at all."

"..."

At that moment, Lily also chimed in.

"Yeah, that's right. But I didn't expect Green, even as a girl, to be quite beautiful. By the way, I always thought Green would look just as good if she dressed up a little, even without transforming."

"..."

It seemed like dangerous words were being spoken.

"Actually, I secretly gave something to Green while she was sleeping..."

"Stop! Don't say anymore!!!!"

Upon hearing Mio's words, Green finally couldn't stay silent anymore. Angry and embarrassed, she raised her voice to drown out Mio's voice.

Green didn't have her guard up against Mio and the others, so even if they got close to her while she was sleeping, she wouldn't wake up. And so, during that sunny afternoon nap time, Mio transformed the sealing stone into a maid outfit, and then...

But in the eyes of the passersby, Green's angry expression became an act of cuteness.

"Wow! Those girls are so cute, especially the one with black hair. I love long black hair the most!"

"The silver-haired one is also nice. Is it cosplay? Does anyone know her? I want to follow her!"

"The ones next to them are good too, especially the little loli. It would be even better if it's legal!"

It seemed like some weirdos had gathered here.

Green felt overwhelmed with embarrassment. She didn't want to continue this way. She just wanted to go back to the other world as soon as possible and return to her old self, basking in the sun and living a carefree life.

Just then, Aloof seemed to have a thought and a gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"By the way, since we lifted Mio's curse, Green, you've been staring at the sky and dozing off on the ground every day. Isn't it boring?"

"...What do you want to do to me?"

"Let's go on a date!"

"Huh?"

"That sounds like a good idea! Me, Aloof, Yuzuriha, and Mio. The four of us can stay here for four days. Each day, one of us will have exclusive time with Green!"

"Agreed."

Yuzuriha raised her hand.

"That's fine. I don't think Green would mind, right?"

"..."

What else could Green say? Let them have their fun. As long as no one comes to ruin this life, it wouldn't be bad to have individual dates with Aloof and the others in this world.

However, once again, reality went against Green's wishes.

A bright light shot across the sky, and Night Duke made a dazzling entrance.

Night Duke's appearance was so extravagant that it was impossible not to notice him. People around naturally exclaimed in surprise or had voices of admiration or disdain. Green, on the other hand, looked at his entrance and really wanted to hit him.

Couldn't he make a normal entrance? Did he have to make such a grand show, it was almost blinding.

Night Duke smiled faintly and walked towards Green.

"We meet again, miss. By the way, I still don't know what to call you..."

Aloof knew that Green didn't want to reveal her identity, so they remained silent. As long as they maintained this appearance, no one could find any evidence confirming that she was Green.

"...Can you dim down the light on your body? It's so glaring."

"Alright."

Green couldn't reveal herself as Green, so after Night Duke dimmed down the shining light on his body, she ignored him and intended to leave. But then Night Duke's words made her stop in her tracks.

"Do you know that your father appeared in the sky of this city just now? Not only that, he injured a SS-level superhero and five newly promoted S-level superheroes. If it weren't for me happening to encounter them, not a single one of them would have survived."

Green stopped and sneered.

"No wonder you have so little source energy in your body. First of all, I have no connection with 'Infinite Green.' Secondly, I don't know you. Can you please stop bothering me? Otherwise, it won't end well for you."

Green told a lie without blinking an eye, but Night Duke was not swayed by her presence.

"I don't believe you. I can't forget the aura of 'Infinite' for the rest of my life, and you look so much like him. I absolutely refuse to believe that there is no connection between you two."

"..."

"Are you his sister? I hope you can tell him for me that I want to see him again. Although I don't know why he appeared again after three years, in my impression, he is not someone who would kill without reason - otherwise, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. So, I want to know the reason."
