Chapter 25: The Dilemma of the Night Baron
update icon Updated at 2025/7/27 12:10:12

Command center deep underground.

In front of the large screen.

A middle-aged man with a beard frowned as he watched the screen, while his female assistant reported intelligence next to him.

"What is the casualty report now?"

"There are a large number of injured people in various places around the world in need of assistance, but our manpower is completely insufficient. We are just scratching the surface when it comes to transporting and rescuing people..."

"Bang!"

"Damn it! Why do these damn aliens always target Earth?!"

"Hmm? Wait, sir, we just detected a high-speed moving energy entity. It seems... it's saving people! And doing so with extreme efficiency!"

"What?! Can we get specific information about the rescuer? Regardless, we need to strive for the widest range of medical aid now. Quickly establish contact with them and provide them with the locations of the injured and those in need of assistance!"

"Understood!"

However, they quickly discovered that the efficiency of this unknown hero far exceeded their imagination. Although they couldn't contact him, he was able to provide precise support to all areas, and his speed of movement was terrifying.

And this unknown hero was none other than Green.

Green didn't rush to deal with the enemy's big boss right away. Although doing so would quickly end this meaningless invasion war, it would also mean missing out on many opportunities to save lives.

The fate of the Earth in this world was truly miserable. If they continued like this, Green genuinely worried that they might be completely wiped out by the next invasion.

Every life saved counted.

It was like performing a billion acts of kindness every day.

While providing medical aid to ordinary people, Green also kept a close eye on the battle situation in various areas. Using a source energy-like ability, Green could clearly understand the specific details of the fights happening.

Once he detected that any side couldn't hold on, Green would rush there immediately and provide precise support.

Most of the superhumans didn't even have a chance to see Green clearly before he saved them.

With Green's help, the morale of the superheroes skyrocketed, and figures like Night Baron once again shone brightly. The battle seemed to reach a balance for a time.

Indra also noticed the abnormality of the battle, but he wasn't going to back down because of such a small matter.

"Hehehehahaha!! These native creatures are strong. As long as I defeat him, I will definitely become the new Universal Overlord, completely replacing Asura's position in the hearts of the universal races! Hahaha!!"

Indra suddenly burst into laughter while summoning his attacking troops, and with a portion of his forces, he began chasing after Green.

But soon, Indra discovered something bizarre: Green's movements were too swift, and they couldn't keep up with him at all.

Just as they determined a direction, Green had already moved to the exact opposite area.

This greatly embarrassed Indra and made him feel that his own dignity was being challenged.

"This damn native is so cunning. Dare to toy with me? I swear you will pay a painful price!"

Indra clenched his hand, and a dark purple staff appeared in his hand out of thin air.

The staff was embedded with an unknown amethyst gem, emitting a faint glow that seemed mysterious and filled with abundant energy.

"Damn natives, I didn't want to end this war so quickly, but now it seems I have no choice but to do it in advance!"

Indra suddenly smashed the ground with his staff, as if there was solid ground beneath his feet, creating a loud metallic collision.

At the same time, the once sunny sky instantly became covered by dark clouds, like a gaping abyss that swallowed the entire sun. Within the clouds, there were flickering and dazzling purple lightning bolts.

"Let these backward natives witness my ultimate power!"

Indra roared and once again smashed his staff. Instantly, a purple lightning bolt descended from the dark cloud in the sky and struck Indra directly, lasting for a full five seconds.

However, Indra didn't feel any pain at all, instead, he laughed joyfully.

This was because his technique was powered by absorbing the forces of nature to unleash immense destructive power. Although he considered this planet's overall quality to be mediocre, the energy it gathered was still terrifying.

At least destroying half of this planet was not far off.

"Isn't it interesting to attack you with your own energy? Hahaha!"

Unable to control his laughter, Indra's arrogant behavior not only drew the attention of the superheroes fighting across the world, but also caught the attention of Green, who was busy helping the injured and dying.

Green looked up at the dark clouds that almost covered the entire sky and felt speechless.

He originally planned to let this big boss show his arrogance for a while longer and then deal with him after attending to the wounded. But he didn't expect this idiot to be so eager to seek death.

"If this level of energy falls to the ground, the consequences will be unimaginable. It seems I can only deal with you first."

Green sighed helplessly.

There were always some people who liked to find trouble, but Green had no obligation to help them, yet they always sought him out, which annoyed him.

Now Indra was about to become one of them.

After being struck by multiple lightning bolts, Indra's staff was already filled with energy, and the purple gem on it was shining so brightly that it could blind the eyes.

But this also indicated that Indra did have some skills.

Once this concentrated energy erupted on the ground, the impact would be devastating. If it couldn't be stopped, even if human lives were saved, their home - Earth - would become ravaged and ruined.

Upon discovering Indra accumulating energy, the invading forces immediately withdrew their troops. Their leader was about to take action himself, so they continued to fight with the superheroes on the ground. In the end, the only outcome for them would be annihilation alongside the Earth's destruction.

This made the superheroes breathe a sigh of relief.

Regardless, being able to temporarily give up the attack was definitely not a bad thing for them.

But at the same time, they also began to worry about Indra's attacks. If such a level of attack truly hit the ground, the resulting severe consequences would not be a joke. The entire human civilization could collapse.

Thinking about rebuilding, no one knew how much time it would waste.

Inside the underground command center.

The middle-aged man saw the dark clouds in the sky through the large screen and also witnessed Indra's arrogant smile.

He pounded the tabletop furiously, gritting his teeth, his face filled with anger.

"This damn Octopus Monster! If I had the power, I would swallow it alive!"

"What are you eating raw?"

Just as the middle-aged man finished his angry curse, a familiar and respected voice rang out.

The man quickly turned around and respectfully bowed to the newcomer.

"Lord Green, are you feeling alright? I think it's better for you to rest quietly, after all, you have..."

The man fell silent, knowing that there was no need to continue the next sentence.

Once the glorious Infinite Green, he has long become a legend in history and now only exists as a spiritual leader for people.

The public deeply regretted this, but Green accepted it with a positive attitude.

After being saved by another version of himself, there was a brief period of peace in the world. Although he couldn't contribute much, he still did his best to help the citizens rebuild the city.

Little did he know, the good times didn't last, and in the blink of an eye, new invaders appeared.

After that, Green, who had no combat ability but held various honors, entered the underground shelter along with his family, silently cheering and praying for the superheroes behind the scenes.

Although it was of little use, there was nothing else he could do.

But there's always a way out. Just recently, Green felt a familiar aura in this world.

"Don't be so discouraged. Maybe we won't necessarily lose this time."

"Uh? But now..."

Green stared at the screen, his gaze so confident that the middle-aged man could only move his lips and swallowed his words.

Meanwhile, outside.

Induluo accumulated all his energy into his staff, intending to destroy the planet with the natural power of the planet itself. This was one of Induluo's favorite things to do.

Especially the thought of becoming the Universal Overlord after destroying this planet made him laugh excitedly.

However, at this moment, a black-haired teenager suddenly appeared in front of Induluo.

Yes, suddenly, without any signs, Green appeared abruptly in front of the laughing Induluo. Then he shoved a handful of soil into Induluo's wide open mouth.

"..."

The scene froze as if time had stopped.

Induluo's subordinates stared blankly at this scene, but no one made a move to stop it.

And Induluo was completely stunned by Green's actions.

As a self-proclaimed challenger to the Universal Overlord, when had he encountered such ridiculous things before?

An indigenous from a remote planet suddenly appeared in front of you and stuffed a foul-smelling handful of soil into your mouth. It would take anyone a few seconds to process what just happened.

And when Induluo snapped out of his daze, he burst into a furious roar.

"Spit, spit, spit, spit!! You rude native, how dare you do such a thing to me!!! I'll kill you!!!!"

Induluo, losing his temper, yelled furiously. However, because his mouth was still filled with clumps of soil, he looked extremely comical.

Instead of being frightened by Induluo's anger, Green wore a satisfied smile.

"Very well, I like that expression of yours!"

"You...you damned native!! Go and be buried with your planet!!!!"

Induluo was completely irritated by Green's unruly behavior. Now he only wanted to obliterate this planet completely and subject Green to insults and abuse that would make him wish for death.

Due to Indra's fury, dark clouds once again split open and a purple lightning struck down, further empowering the energy in his staff.

At this point, Indra's staff contained a terrifying destructive force that was suffocating.

Superheroes from all over the world felt the oppressive aura coming from this location, their eyes filled with shock as they gazed at the dark clouds in the sky. Some of the weaker-minded ones whispered, "It's all over."

Night Baron also noticed this anomaly. Even as an SSS-class hero, he could feel immense pressure, let alone the S-class and even non-S-class superheroes.

"But, if Lord Green is here..."

However, Night Baron still felt confused in his heart. The other presence in the sky, though extremely similar to Green, never felt right to Night Baron.

This sense of unease grew stronger in Night Baron's heart due to Indra's overwhelming pressure, amplifying his already tiny doubts.

At this moment, Night Baron didn't dare to confirm if the aura in the sky belonged to Green. Moreover, according to his memory, Green should be in the underground base, so how could he suddenly appear in the combat zone with such tremendous power, and even have some abnormal changes in his aura?

Various doubts surrounded Night Baron's mind, causing him to become even more anxious.

"...Can the Earth still survive? Is there hope for humanity's future?"

The more dire the situation, the more one realizes their own insignificance.

The feeling of powerlessness that emerged from the depths of Night Baron's heart was even more tormenting to his soul than physical injuries.

"Instead of moaning about useless things here, why not take this opportunity to treat the wounded! Night Baron, you're an SSS-class hero. Gather your spirits!!"

"Ryu Tao..."

White Snow, riding the motorcycle transformed by Ryu Tao, stopped beside Night Baron. Ryu Tao didn't even bother to transform into human form and directly reprimanded Night Baron with the motorcycle's form, emitting exhaust like clouds.

"Thanks... you're right. I lost control. As a superhero, I should do everything in my power to help the people. That's what a true superhero should do!"

"Heh, that's the Night Baron I know!"
