Chapter 27: Just Swallow
update icon Updated at 2025/7/29 18:10:11

"Native, you're done for!"

"Can't you use any other words besides 'native'? My ears are starting to get calloused from hearing the same thing over and over again."

Green casually picked at his ear with his pinky finger, looking completely unbothered.

There was just something unsatisfying about not taking a few jabs at his opponent when the opportunity presented itself.

"You...!!"

Indra was so angry he could barely form a complete sentence.

He began gasping for air, but his octopus-like head made his angry gasping look comical in human aesthetics.

Green couldn't help but mockingly smile at this.

"Tch! Worthless piece of trash!"

"..."

After a few breaths to calm his mind, Indra finally regained his composure.

He realized that he was no match in a battle of words. This damned native was shameless and had no sense of shame whatsoever.

When faced with such a person, all he needed to do was to eliminate him.

Indra couldn't imagine that Green would still be able to mock him after he was dead.

"Oh? Finally calmed down, huh? It seems my efforts weren't in vain after all."

Just as Indra concentrated all his energy into his muscles, he suddenly saw a satisfied expression on Green's face, as if an adult were seeing a child growing up.

"After all, you are going to be the Universal Overlord. If you can't even tolerate this level of provocation, won't the entire universe laugh at you?"

"You... So it was you...!"

Upon hearing Green's words, Indra suddenly had a realization and even felt a touch of emotion.

Due to the influence of his emotions, the energy within Indra weakened slightly.

But at this moment, Green burst into laughter.

'"Pfft-hahaha! So you think... Pfft... Haha! Were you really... Pfft... Ha-ha-ha!!!"'

Green laughed so hard in the air that he couldn't stop twisting his body. There was nothing in his laughter but mockery.

Indra's expression froze, and his mind was filled with Green's mocking laughter and the mad pounding of his own thigh.

"Go to hell!!!"

Indra no longer hesitated and used all his strength to throw a punch at Green.

At the level of power that Indra had reached, fancy moves had long lost their effectiveness in actual combat. The most suitable way to fight was with fists and feet, especially when facing an opponent whose body shape was similar to his own.

Green had played enough and felt that it was a bit too much to continue.

But more importantly, Green was no longer interested in playing with Indra. He had something important to do later.

Just as Indra's fist was about to hit Green's face, Green slightly dodged to the side, easily avoiding the attack. At the same time, he sneered and taunted, "Too slow!"

Then, with a sudden burst of force, Green punched Indra's abdomen.

An intense and scorching pain surged in Indra's abdomen. He involuntarily rolled his eyes, and his body flew back in the opposite direction with tremendous force, leaving only a blur behind.

Green didn't miss the opportunity to chase after him. He instantly moved into Indra's flight path, delivering hundreds of blows to him in a mere half-second.

After Green stopped attacking, Dio's body remained suspended in the air for two seconds before falling straight down.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Dio's subordinates dared not make a move. But when they saw Dio fall, they seemed to foresee their own deaths at the hands of Green, and immediately launched useless attacks at him.

In response, Green swiftly eliminated them, leaving no trace.

The last image Dio saw was Green extending his palm towards him, conjuring a scene of source energy bullets.

After that, he was forever engulfed in darkness.

After completely wiping out Dio, Green recalled the conversations that had just taken place and whispered to himself:

"Perhaps I was too... no, allowing him to die painlessly was already the greatest mercy."

The first half of Green's sentence had a hint of remorse, but the second half veered sharply, sounding extremely cold.

Perhaps Green, due to his immense strength, didn't feel much towards Dio's actions. He might even regard them as mere child's play. But for the people of this world, Dio was a true demon.

Remnants of newly constructed buildings laid scattered everywhere, intertwined with remnants of the old. The scene was incredibly bleak.

Sometimes, when you stand too high and the gap between you and others becomes too large, your mentality can become strange to the point where your actions might seem odd. But Green had already grown used to this.

At the very least, he hadn't fallen into the abyss of enjoying senseless killing.

"Alright, next on the agenda is dealing with this guy's fleet, and then I can finally focus on important matters!"

Within a minute of Green making this decision, not a single soldier among Dio's forces remained alive.

As Green received the admiration and gratitude of the bystanders, he finally had the opportunity to converse with his counterpart from this world, in order to inquire about his perplexities.

After a brief celebration of victory with the others, the two Greens sat together and began their conversation.

"How long are you planning to stay this time?"

"Stay? Oh no, I'm not here to stay, I came to find you for a reason."

"To find me?"

Since the last time he revealed everything he knew about the source energy of the world, he no longer believed that he had any abilities that could help the other Green.

Apart from coming here for leisure, there shouldn't be any other reason for him to be here.

"A wise man speaks plainly. I have something I want you to appraise for me."

With a wave of his hand, the enormous Heart of the Universe appeared before the two of them.

The surrounding crowd also noticed the Heart of the Universe, but seeing that the two Greens were in conversation, they resisted their curiosity and continued celebrating the resolution of the Earth's crisis.

In the instant the Heart of the Universe appeared, the world source energy contained within it was clearly captured.

Green saw that the other Green's expression had changed and felt a surge of hope and anticipation.

"So, what do you think? Can you figure out what this thing is?"

"Of course."

Taking a sip of water, the other Green answered:

"I can sense the presence of world source energy inside, although it's obviously not from this world. But their similarities are still quite discernible. Where did you get this thing anyway?"

Afterwards, Green briefly described the source and purpose of Heart of the Universe.

"I see. I never expected that your species would evolve from humans into demons. No wonder you seem different from before. So, that's the reason."

"To be honest, being a demon feels pretty good. Even without maintaining my superpower state, this demon body can hold a lot of source energy, and my strength has also increased significantly. By the way, why don't you come to the demon realm too? I can find a way to turn you into a demon as well."

Upon hearing Green's suggestion, the other person paused for a moment and smiled gently.

"I'll pass, really. After being active for so many years, I'm tired of fighting aliens. As for you, come visit more often. Perhaps you will encounter invaders that we can't defeat again."

"That would be unlucky..."

"Haha, indeed. Anyway, to the point, Heart of the Universe contains a lot of power from the origins of the world. Changing the entire universe is still a long shot... no, it's actually far from achievable. But if we focus on changing just one sub-world, it should be possible."

"So, what do I need to do exactly?"

"It's simple, just swallow this thing."

"???"
