Shocked, puzzled, and suddenly enlightened, different emotions mingled on the faces of several SSS-level superheroes, fully expressed through their facial expressions.
Without any warning, the girl suddenly transformed into a boy, and surprisingly, the boy looked identical to the well-known "Infinite Green."
The words spoken by the man in black made the superheroes realize what had happened at the scene.
"I never expected you to become a woman. It's not like you," said the man in black mockingly. But Green remained completely unaffected, showing no emotional response whatsoever.
The only thing that surprised Green was the man in black's incredible strength, stronger than any superpowered individual he had encountered before. Mio and the others alone wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Although it was unclear who the man in black was, Green wasn't interested in finding out. It was evident that he was a former enemy, and defeating him would suffice.
In an instant, Green's body was enveloped in a thick source energy, as if his body was burning with white flames, causing even the space around him to distort under this power.
Under this energy, the SSS-level heroes trembled all over, as they hadn't experienced this kind of strength in a long time. It felt just like the terrifying aura from years ago, even stronger.
For a moment, they stood in disbelief.
However, upon sensing the overwhelming source energy emanating from Green, the man in black suddenly burst into laughter, filled with contempt.
"After all these years, your strength has only increased by such a small margin? You're so weak!" the man in black exclaimed.
Green couldn't understand what gave the man in black such confidence, making his tone so arrogant. From his words, it was not difficult to guess that he had indeed encountered Green before, and likely even suffered defeat.
However, so many people had been beaten by Green that he himself couldn't remember them all.
So, Green calmly asked, "Who are you?"
"Hmph, you may have forgotten many people, but I will never forget you, 'Infinite Green'!" the man in black replied with a vicious tone. Suddenly, he produced a glass bottle containing pink liquid in his hand. The bottle had a special pattern on it, as if representing something.
Suddenly, the man in black pulled down his cloak, revealing his face completely.
The man's face terrified everyone; it was covered in scars, even a massive scar that went from his eye down his neck, extending towards his chest.
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed. What had Green done to him to make him look like this? If there were so many scars on his face alone, it was likely that his body had even more scars.
Green was also puzzled. Generally, his attack methods would not cause scars like these. However, the man in black soon answered everyone's confusion.
"It seems you don't remember me, but I will never forget you!" The scarred man suddenly roared angrily, his words filled with profound hatred.
"Five years! It took me five whole years! Do you know how much suffering I endured, how much weight I lost? When I first met you, I weighed a whopping three hundred kilograms!"
Gasping for breath, the scarred man's face turned redder, his emotions unusually intense. From his appearance, he didn't look like someone who weighed three hundred kilograms.
Green was momentarily confused; what was he talking about?
"Do you know how much I weigh now? I weigh only one hundred and forty kilograms, a whole one hundred and sixty kilograms lighter! But it was all worth it!"
Suddenly, the scarred man shouted, and he opened his upper garment, revealing a torso covered in scars that were just as terrifying as everyone had imagined.
"See this? This is the proof of my five years of hard work! Five years ago, you destroyed my 'New Human Project,' annihilating my research base and my lifelong work! However, you let me live—this is the biggest mistake you've ever made!"
Upon hearing the scarred man mention the New Human Project, Green finally had a faint impression in his mind, but the other SSS-level heroes, including Nightshade, were filled with shock.
"Could it be that you're the bastard who kidnapped and trafficked children for illegal human experiments five years ago?!"
"No wonder when we found your research base later, there was only a big pit there. It turns out 'Infinity' beat us to it..."
"That's right, it's me!"
Seeing the shocked expressions of the superheroes, the scarred man smiled proudly. With the scarred man's admission, Green finally remembered who he was, and immediately sneered disdainfully.
"I thought it was someone else, turns out it's the trafficker."
Green vaguely remembered that the last time he saw this person, his figure was like a ball, and the only reason he didn't kill him was because he didn't like killing at the time.
Of course, he still didn't like it now, but it didn't mean that the outcome would be the same as before.
"Hmph, looks like you finally remembered who I am. In these five years, I have been hiding in the shadows and conducting countless experiments on myself, resulting in countless scars on my body. But hard work pays off, and now I am successful! - Do you see it? This is my research result. As long as I take this ultimate potion, I will gain god-like power!"
The scarred man raised the bottle in his hand, and under the gaze of Green's group, he directly put the glass bottle into his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it completely.
At the moment the scarred man swallowed the potion, a vast aura erupted from within him. The sky dimmed under this force, and even the Night Baron and his companions could hardly stand straight under this pressure.
This aura soon affected the entire city of Z.
The superheroes who were fighting against the armored warrior trembled under this aura, and they were surprised to find that the armored warrior suddenly stopped moving and scattered to the ground, turning into dust that dissipated into the air.
The ordinary people felt restrained under this aura, unable to make any movements.
This overwhelmingly powerful aura even shocked Green. This power was no less than the aura of the Demon King Salowus from another world, and even surpassed it faintly.
He remembered that this guy used to pant heavily after running a few steps. Now, he could unleash such tremendous power, which was truly unbelievable.
"What has this guy done? How can he possess such tremendous power? This aura... is even stronger than the real 'Infinity'. I haven't felt such a powerful source energy even when I faced 'Infinity' back then!"
An SSS-level hero's face was filled with shock. He tried his best to resist this aura, but even standing steady was difficult.
Even for an SSS-level hero, let alone the newly promoted SS Night Baron.
But even so, the Night Baron's gaze towards Green remained fanatical.
"No, with just this power, it is impossible to defeat 'Infinity Green'—look, 'Infinity' doesn't even show any changes in expression, he even appears relaxed."
Under the Night Baron's reminder, several SSS-level heroes also noticed Green's appearance.
Under this aura, it was difficult for them to stabilize their bodies. Even their legs started to tremble under this immense pressure. However, Green remained in his original posture, looking indifferent.
"But his source energy is still skyrocketing. If this continues, even 'Infinity'..."
In just a few breaths, the scarred man's aura doubled again. Green could be certain that the scarred man now could definitely defeat the Light God, just as he said, reaching the level of a god.
Green couldn't imagine what he had gone through, to become so powerful in just five years. No wonder he dared to impersonate his identity to lure him out.
Now it seemed it wasn't a foolish move, but a move backed by real power.
"How about it? Are you afraid of my power?"
With Mio and the others as the center, Green unfolded a protective shield behind them. He then lifted his foot and walked slowly towards the scarred man, whose aura was still skyrocketing.
"To be able to improve your strength to this extent in five years is enough to prove that you are a genius. But what does that have to do with getting beaten?" The scarred man's pupils suddenly contracted. He seemed to see the scene five years ago when Green walked towards him, and then the scene gradually merged with the present Green, walking towards him.
Five years have passed, and I have transformed into this appearance, yet Green has not changed much, even the expression on his face remains exactly the same as five years ago.
That feeling of indifference, as if I were just a humble ant.
This feeling made me think that I was living in five years ago, but soon I realized that I am no longer the same person I was before. My power should far exceed Green's, this feeling is just an illusion.
However, immersed in gaining immense power, the scarred man did not notice that Green's aura had silently become vast, already suppressing his own momentum.
Green is no longer like before, where releasing the seal would unleash his full power. Now, he only needs to control the strength of the sealing stone to freely control the power within him.
For example, by slightly weakening the strength of the seal, Green can easily overpower the scarred man.
Several superheroes felt the pressure on them ease, as if they were previously weighed down by lead, but now they had a sense of ease as if they could easily soar with a light leap. At that moment, their awe for "Infinity" grew stronger.
Meanwhile, while the scarred man's aura continued to surge, Green approached him and, with complete focus on his own state of alertness, threw a punch without any fancy embellishments.
However, even with no disguise, a very simple punch, the scarred man found himself unable to evade it, and was struck in the abdomen, soaring into the sky.
