The originally planned date for the two of them turned out to be just wishful thinking. Wherever they went, they attracted a lot of attention, making Green sigh that this world is truly superficial. What puzzled her, however, was that her appearance seemed to improve a lot after she became a girl. When she was a man, she didn't have so many girls looking at her on the street.
This feeling is somewhat strange.
But ignoring other people's gaze is still simple for Green. It's just that she feels somewhat annoyed when she remembers that someone is causing trouble using her identity. Green guesses that it's probably one of her enemies spreading hostility, but there are too many people who have a grudge against her, and for a while, she can't figure out who it might be.
But soon Green forgets about these things and immerses herself in her daily life with Aloof. The occasional appearance of strange people on the streets adds some amusement to their ordinary lives, especially with all the interesting superpowers.
Even though there are monsters everywhere, living in such a world, there really isn't much sense of crisis.
"Green, your hometown is so interesting, why don't you want to go back?"
"Because what you find interesting, I stopped feeling a long time ago. The things I used to do brought me a lot of trouble, and over time, I grew tired of it."
"Like what?"
"Um... let me think..."
Aloof's words are really clever, making Green unsure of how to give an example for a moment, especially since there are some things Green just can't talk about.
"Well, you can just search online. There should be a lot of records online, right?"
"Yeah..."
Following Green's guidance on how to surf the internet, Aloof quickly finds a lot of information about Green. Things like various nicknames, their level as a superpower user, their impact on the world, and their past achievements are easily accessible, and now with the morning news, discussions about Green on the internet have become even more intense.
"I didn't expect 'Infinity' to reappear after three years. I have a feeling that he's about to do something big, just like what happened five years ago."
"I hope he's not going to destroy the world, but to attack the superhero academy, I really don't know what he's thinking. It seems like what the world government said is true, he's just an ordinary dangerous criminal, right?"
"Don't say that. He once saved me. Although the aura around him is terrifying, I don't think he's a bad person. And those who understand what happened five years ago naturally understand."
"Maybe it's just media hype. Nowadays, people do anything for attention, don't they?"
The superhero academy is a very important place, so besides terrorists, who else would attack this kind of place? Of course, there are also those who were actually saved by Green unintentionally, and their opinions vary, leading to many arguments.
While Aloof was researching, she also found out about the incident five years ago that was mentioned by the internet users. In short, Green visited the world government and after that, there were no more slave auctions in the world auction.
"Don't you want to clarify it?"
"It's meaningless. I don't want to waste my time on things like that."
At this moment, in a certain ocean.
A man in black stood on the surface of the sea, silently gazing into the distance. There, fortified buildings were surrounded by a large number of protection shields, which were the branch headquarters of the world government.
Just then, a beam of light suddenly shot towards the man in black, but he easily evaded it. In the next moment, the man in black flew into the air and condensed the source energy within him. In his hand, a white light ball materialized instantly.
Then, the man in black threw the light ball towards the branch headquarters of the world government. Soon, a strong white light erupted from there. After the light subsided, only the splashed water surface remained in that spot.
The next day, Green was still playing in her dreams when she was awakened by someone.
"Green, quickly, look at this video!"
"...What?"
Green rubbed her eyes and looked at the screen on the monitor.
A man in black appeared on the video, his face covered in darkness, making it impossible to see his appearance. Soon, his eyes flickered with red light, and a voice came through.
"I am 'Infinite Green', I believe you are all familiar with me, so I won't introduce myself further. The purpose of sharing this video is simple: I just wanted to tell you all a message - the core of this planet has been equipped with a timed cosmic bomb. In three days, this planet will be reduced to...dust in the universe."
The video froze at this point, but these few seconds of footage caused a great panic. The online discussions about Green immediately turned into a heated argument.
Upon learning about the destruction of their branch, the World Government urgently held a meeting.
"What does that 'Infinite' actually want to do? First, there was the inexplicable release of energy, then he attacked the Superhero Academy, and now not only did he destroy the branch, he also uploaded such a video! Is he insane?"
An angry old man slammed the table, and the other surrounding elders were also solemn.
In fact, many people have already petitioned the World Government to deal with Green as soon as possible, but where do they have the strength to eliminate Green?
A simple search of Green's information would reveal that there is currently no one who can match him. It can be said that if Green wants to destroy the world, no one can stop him.
"Infinite's actions are too strange. He doesn't seem like the type of person who would do something like this..."
"Hmph, I have been telling you all that we shouldn't let that guy live. If we had sent all our combat forces to fight him from the beginning, maybe we could have had a chance of winning. But now, this guy actually wants to destroy the planet!"
"Let's quickly send people to investigate the location of the planet's core. Perhaps he's just trying to scare us."
"Easy for you to say. How many people can withstand the pressure at the planet's core? If we dispatch those SSS-level individuals, without 'Infinite' even lifting a finger, we would be wiped out by other factions."
"This..."
The dim meeting room fell into silence.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded again.
"Warning: Detection of a massive energy entity, target located in City Z."
At this time, above City Z.
The black-clothed figure appeared once again. He stood on the top floor of a high-rise building, looking down at the ant-like crowd below, and emitted a sneering laughter.
He gathered white source energy in his hand, just like when he destroyed the World Government branch base, and then launched it towards the crowd below.
With this strike, without a doubt, half of City Z would be destroyed.
But at this moment, a man radiating light all over his body appeared. In a situation where everyone was clueless, he suddenly stood in front of the source energy blast from the black-clothed man.
Yes, that man was Night Baron.
His body emitted intense light, continuously outputting source energy to his hands. Soon, Night Baron exerted force and sent the black-clothed man's source energy blast back, causing a massive explosion in the sky.
The onlookers finally realized that something was wrong, and soon someone noticed the floating black-clothed figure and exclaimed in panic:
"It's that man, he's here!"
"Could it be 'Infinite Green'? Why is he appearing here? Is he going to destroy City Z?"
"It's over, everything is over. 'Night Baron' is a newly-promoted SS-level hero, he can't possibly be a match for 'Infinite'!"
The crowd cried out in panic, some cursed loudly, and some were at a loss as to what to do.
A cool motorcycle stopped, and Long Tao also noticed the abnormality in the sky. He understood that the battle ahead was no longer one he could participate in.
"Everyone, quickly leave this place and head to the protective zone in the city center!"
Upon hearing the shout from the motorcycle rider, the crowd calmed down slightly. They realized that in order to cope with emergencies, highly fortified protective zones had been established in each city. As long as they took refuge inside, they would be relatively safe.
So a large crowd began to move towards the protective zone. The superheroes began to maintain order together with the regular police, and a few individuals with S-level strength gathered beside Night Baron, prepared to fight alongside him.
The black-clothed figure looked down at the agitated crowd below, and let out a contemptuous laugh.
Soon, Night Baron flew into the sky and faced off against the black-clothed figure.
"The aura coming from you is completely different from his. Though his aura is domineering, it should be somewhat softer."
When Night Baron made his debut, he said something that baffled the black-clad figure. However, he quickly disregarded those words and instead adopted a superior tone towards Night Baron and the superheroes by his side.
"If you know me, you should leave immediately instead of confronting me head-on."
As he spoke, the black-clad figure emitted white energy from his body, which then transformed into a beam of white light and charged towards Night Baron. He struck Night Baron in the abdomen with a punch, causing the latter to transform into a shooting star and fly towards the city below, piercing through several skyscrapers.
After eliminating Night Baron in an instant, the black-clad figure turned his attention to the other S-Class heroes.
The S-Class heroes trembled in fear, but they still mustered up the courage to charge towards the black-clad figure. However, the black-clad figure sneered in contempt, unleashing his energy to instantly kill several S-Class heroes.
"A bunch of trash, daring to challenge me in an 'infinite' confrontation?" he coldly laughed.
After a few disdainful chuckles, the black-clad figure looked towards the distant horizon, where several SSS-Class heroes arrived in haste.
Meanwhile, Green and the others in Z City noticed the chaos unfolding above them.
Faced with this situation, Aloof couldn't help but ask again, "Green, aren't you going to do something?"
"...Let's just go back. There's nothing interesting to see here."
"He impersonated you and did something bad. Shouldn't we teach him a lesson? If you don't want to do it, let me handle it!"
Lilith's body ignited with blue flames, her gaze fixed on the distant sky. With the assistance of her auxiliary magic, Lilith could clearly see what was happening above.
Several SSS-Class heroes gathered together, engaging in a battle with the black-clad figure. However, the black-clad figure effortlessly evaded their joint attacks, occasionally launching energy blasts towards the city below, only to be blocked by other superheroes. He never directly attacked the superheroes.
It was as if adults playing with children.
Seeing Lilith wanting to rush up, Green immediately advised against it.
"No need to bother with them. If this planet is destroyed, that imposter won't survive either. His goal is probably just to lure me out. Just ignore him."
"If that's the case, then I should go and meet him. Let's see if he's worthy of luring you out."
"You can't fly though... Wait, what?"
However, Lilith's actions caught Green off guard. With a triumphant smile on her face, Lilith stepped on thin air and ascended into the sky.
"Air manipulation...?"
Seeing this, Green no longer tried to stop her. Lilith's strength was not weak here, perhaps even stronger than the SSS-Class superheroes. Plus, with her instinctive magic "Control" and the spatial power of her elemental sword, she might actually be able to contend with the impostor.
Subsequently, something even more astonishing happened. Giant tree trunks suddenly rose from the ground, lifting Lilith and her companions into the sky. From afar, a towering tree emerged, acting like an umbrella to shield the crowd below, constantly rising towards the sky, soon catching up to Lilith.
The onlookers below were astounded at this sight, marveling at the appearance of such powerful abilities and how the intricate intertwining branches covered the sky, making the ground feel much safer.
Motorcycle Man also witnessed this incredible scene and simultaneously noticed Green and the others, becoming even more astonished.
"They're truly a group of powerhouses... Looks like I have to up my game!"
