In order to save the other self in another world, Green expended an unknown amount of source energy.
For over thirty consecutive hours of extensive source energy transfer, Green could feel a significant decrease in the source energy within his body. Ultimately, the other self in that world only regained the powers of an ordinary person and no longer possessed superhuman abilities.
Perhaps in Green's current state, they would be thoroughly defeated by the cosmic overlord Asura.
But that didn't matter, at least he still had Ballibeil.
Ballibeil's strength was not something an ordinary person could defeat. Even though Green's individual strength now was far weaker than before, it still far exceeded that of an ordinary SSS-class hero.
At least among the opponents they had encountered before, they would not lose again if they were to meet them once more.
In contrast, what was worth noting was the exclusion imposed on Green by the rules of the future world.
The other self in that world managed to barely recover vitality through a large amount of external source energy, but the Green in this world could only save themselves.
As for searching for other parallel world versions of themselves?
Give it up. Just finding oneself in that world would likely take who knows how long. Let alone searching for other coordinates of Green, they might never find them in their lifetime.
And even if they did find them, it wasn't certain that they would help Green. Perhaps the Green in this world was male, while the other world's Green was...
Hm~❤️
After spending a moment in the pitch-black space crack where you couldn't see your own hand, a light finally appeared before Green's eyes.
Stepping forward, Green immediately sensed several familiar auras.
They had returned.
At this time, in the Castle of Falsist, Aloof and the others were idly playing virtual reality games with the soldiers.
But then, they all instinctively exited the game at the same time.
The reason was simple: their instincts told them that Green, who had been gone for several days, had returned.
"Ah, ah, ah—It's Green's scent!"
"...Aloof, how can you smell it??"
Lilith, with a line of black dots on her head, looked at the excited Aloof, while Rebecca looked in a certain direction. After all, Green had been gone for almost a week.
It was only later that Green learned that one day in that world was roughly equivalent to three days in this world.
Even though it was their side that flowed faster, the Green in that world ended up aging faster... Parallel worlds were truly strange.
Regarding the rules of the world, Green hadn't told Aloof and the others, in order to prevent them from living in worry.
After all, if there were definitely ways to solve the issue, why say it and make others worry about oneself?
Or rather, Green could worry about them, but they were not allowed to worry about Green.
Ever since returning to this world, Green found themselves becoming more and more lazy.
Even though they didn't know when the world rules would take them out, the desire to slack off within Green's heart grew heavier.
To quote Green's own words, they would leave future matters to their future self.
Though it might be a bit irresponsible towards their future self, so what?
Since Aloof and the others returned, a large number of game devices were invested in the training of the soldiers, replacing the more primitive weapons and training grounds.
Fortunately, before Green left, they had already powered these devices, so they continued to function normally during the period of Green's absence. Aloof and the others would occasionally enter the game for a few rounds at night.
Currently, Green didn't have much to do. After powering the game devices, they would either sleep every day or play games, or occasionally deal with Falsist's international relations.
For Green, being able to have a normal life with the person they loved was already enough to bring them satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. And following these feelings came a sense of happiness with their current situation.
"Today I got a new game. Do you guys want to come and play?"
"Sure, let's go!"
Green occasionally goes back to the original world now, thanks to the recent experience. As for Lilian's situation, Green no longer worries about it.
To be honest, when Green saw Lilian in the parallel world, he was a bit confused, but Green had already expected this situation.
Sometimes, the more you anticipate and cling to something, the more likely it is that, after it happens, you will feel satisfied but also become indifferent to it.
At least Green didn't feel much when he saw Lilian again.
Now, all Green needs to do is protect Aloof and the others until their lives are fully extinguished.
"Alright, I'm logging in. I'll add you guys as friends after I finish the beginner's tasks."
I must say, source energy is really convenient. It truly lives up to being the power of the world's origin. As long as tools are powered by source energy, they can be used normally.
The game Green is playing now is called "Justice Battle Armor." It is said to be based on the SS-rank hero Justice Battle Armor. I wonder if it's fun.
"By the way, since it's a PVE game, let's use some cheats~"
After all, there are only a few players on the whole server, including Green and the others, and there may be soldiers from Forsyst in the future.
After entering the game, the first thing that caught Green's eye was the character creation screen, but the available options for creating characters looked just like the Justice Battle Armor and were quite ugly, like rubber suits.
Facing something that didn't match his aesthetic no matter how he tried, Green quickly created a character in a completely black rubber suit without any hesitation.
However, it wasn't until Green finished the beginner's tasks, experienced the thrill of being chased by monsters, and teamed up with Aloof and the others that Green discovered that... in the character creation screen, you could choose to be in human form or use your real appearance!
"Haha..."
"Haha..."
"So dark..."
"Well..."
He was mocked.
But although it was a bit ugly, Green played all day happily.
Unlike real combat, where his own strength was too overpowering and fancy moves were ineffective, things were different in the game. There were different techniques for different enemies. Green especially liked using skills that had dazzling special effects but little attacking power. Although it wasn't as easy as real combat, it was quite fun.
And Green's favorite thing to do was to goof off.
Green once again performed a cool set of moves, and the whole screen was filled with the effects caused by the skills. But when he looked at the output... 99%!?
"Oops... I think I overdid it..."
Thanks to the cheats that Green discreetly used, the game characters of Aloof and the others were no match for Green.
In the game, you can buff yourself with a large number of enhancements, but ordinary players can only apply one type of buff, while Green can apply an unlimited number of the same type.
For example, Aloof and the others can only apply a buff that increases weapon damage by 10%, but Green can stack them infinitely.
After there was nothing left to do, Green spent each day playing games. Eventually, he grew tired of using cheats and truly became a lazy fish that only shouted "six" in the game.
Half a month later.
On this day, the weather was exceptionally good, and Green had a feeling that something good was going to happen.
However, reality mercilessly slapped him in the face.
Father-in-law Fred found Green.
"Green, do you know about the Seven Deadly Sins? Well, now Exold, Roust, and Dextis, all three of them have been killed by you."
"Just get to the point..."
"Hehehe, in the recent joint conference, it was decided to eliminate the remaining four Deadly Sins. By chance, our intelligence personnel has obtained information about one of the Deadly Sins. Are you interested in dealing with it?"
"Which one?"
"Ezeral."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Fred's answer, Green finally became a little interested.
Ezeral, if I remember correctly, his techniques are related to souls. Green was somewhat angry at the time, and Ezeral was the first sin user Green encountered.
Back then, he only had one clone, and Green did not investigate further, so in the end, there was no follow-up regarding Ezeral.
Now, hearing the information about Ezeral from Fred, Green couldn't help but become interested.
Green clearly remembered that Ezeral had summoned a black dragon before. Now that he thought about it carefully, that guy might have some knowledge about the dragon's habitat.
Speaking of the dragon's habitat, Green thought about the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent. And when it came to the Eastern Continent, Green thought about Wild Taro and them. I wonder how they're doing now.
But Green still remembered the potions commissioned for research by Lenna. It seems that there hasn't been much progress on Lenna's side. In order to consider Aloof and the others in the future, Green felt that it was necessary to investigate the fur of the flame chimera and the scales of the silver dragon as soon as possible.
And now, Ezeral might be the perfect support for searching for the silver dragon scales.
"Alright, I'll take care of this errand. Quickly send me his information. After today, I want him to disappear from this world."
"Okay! I'll organize his information and send it all to your room."
Now Green is also a king, and because Green is not an ordinary person, Fred no longer has any bias against Green. He even takes pride in Green, although he will be teased by Aloof and his wife afterwards, but he doesn't mind.
After Fred left, Green took out the broken sword and examined it.
"The rust has decreased a lot. Is it almost out?"
After taking a few glances, Green put it back into his personal space.
Speaking of swords, Green thought of Bari Bell. Speaking of Bari Bell, Green thought of the awakened Bari Bell, the parallel universe overlord.
After defeating Asura, Green and his Bari Bell merged together.
Yes, they merged together.
Although they have a slight deviation in memory, they are completely identical in other aspects. After the fusion, their memories are shared, and because their consciousness is exactly the same, there is no distinction between them.
In short, the current Bari Bell is completely different from the past and is indeed a reliable sword.
However, the personality of the sword spirit is still not very likeable.
Even now, Bari Bell occasionally has bursts of his bloodthirsty nature and says he wants to cut down beautiful girls...
Fortunately, with Green's suppression, nothing serious has happened, but Green feels that things can't go on like this.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Green's mind, and he came up with a brilliant idea.
"Bari Bell, Bari Bell, do you want to chop down cute girls? What do you think of me?~"
After a while, Green and Bari Bell began to spar in a deserted mountain area within the borders of the kingdom.
It has to be said that Green's idea really surprised Bari Bell, but Bari Bell was also excited to be able to fight with Green.
By now, Bari Bell had transformed into human form, but she held a Bari Bell in her hand.
Green, on the other hand, used the Gender Transformation technique. Although the cooling feeling under his skirt made him a bit shy, there was no one around here, and after getting used to it, it even had a little excitement.
Um... this is really difficult to mention, and Green will never admit it.
"Come on, let me see how powerful you are now, whether you are qualified to be my weapon or not."
"Understood."
Green activated Source Energy and enveloped the two of them within it to prevent their battle from causing any irreversible effects on the outside world.
However, Valibelle's initial action made Green shudder.
He saw Valibelle lift the sword in her hand to her eyes, and then licked the sharp blade with her tender pink tongue.
No, using the word "lick" is not quite accurate, it should be said she was trying to swallow it.
Green saw the blade sink into her soft tongue, but Valibelle did not show any wounds as Green had imagined. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying it.
"What a devil..."
Green couldn't help but comment, then waved his right hand, and an invisible sword formed from source energy appeared in his hand.
"Let's begin."
In an instant, the sword flashed, and the two had already fought hundreds of rounds.
In the end, Valibelle couldn't withstand Green's overwhelming strength and was completely crushed in the battle.
However, during the process of being tortured, Valibelle found that her bloodthirsty nature seemed to have changed.
Whether it was because of fear of Green's beauty or for some other reason, whenever she had the thought of wanting to harm the beautiful girl, the image of Green transformed into a girl, wielding a sword made of source energy, would immediately appear in her mind, beating her down.
"You truly are something."
"I truly am."
Soon, the two returned to the royal castle, and Fred quickly organized the documents and sent them to Green.
