"Damn it."
Killer Mantis simply couldn't convey to the other mob bosses in words.
How strong was the pressure he felt when the BOSS, looking down from above with murderous intent, asked him who the new BOSS of their Knights Order was?!
Killer Mantis swore to God, if he had said even one wrong word at that moment, he would have long since become a wisp of ash under the BOSS's heat vision.
"Is the BOSS's mental illness acting up again? Or is he testing me? I can't tell! I can't tell!"
"It seems from today onwards, I need to tell my subordinates to be even more careful and cautious."
"Some unimportant business and work, let's put them on hold for now!"
After some thought, Killer Mantis finally made a decision.
In the sky.
"That Killer Mantis guy is acting very strange."
Nolan whispered to Clark.
"Of course he's strange!"
"Ever since we wiped out the organization and started questioning him, he's sneakily glanced at me no less than five times, as if he's waiting for me to give orders."
"Damn it, I'm not their BOSS, what is he looking at me for?!"
Clark complained.
"..."
Clark's complaint made Nolan frown slightly, and she became pensive.
Kent Family home.
After leaving the Guardians, Eden immediately returned home to continue his combat simulations; he was now seizing every moment to grow stronger.
"Damn it."
However, just as Eden was about to start a new round of simulations, he suddenly remembered something, immediately pulled out his phone, and called Cecil, asking, "Cecil, if I remember correctly, Donald was with you and me just now, right? So, who has been impersonating me at school all this time?"
"Another Donald."
"Eden, I backed up Donald, do you understand what I mean?"
"Also, please help me keep this a secret, don't tell anyone, including Donald himself, thank you."
After a long silence, Cecil told Eden this secret.
"Sometimes I really think you're an animal, Cecil."
Upon hearing this, Eden frowned slightly, then hung up the phone.
Eden decided that tomorrow, he would personally go to the school to see if Cecil had caused any trouble there.
But before that, he would continue with the simulations.
"Simulation initiated!"
Eden was too lazy to bother with the sordid affairs between Cecil and Donald; strength was the ultimate truth, and simulation was the ultimate truth.
As for Cecil?!
The fact that Cecil had been able to sit in the position of Global Defense Agency Director for so many years indicated that he had long operated in the gray area between the legal and illegal, and the things he had done over the years were not much cleaner than the Knights Order.
[Simulated Opponents: Kruge, Berserker Beast!]
[Simulation Location: Uninhabited Planet.]
Under the system's prompt, the scene around Eden changed, and he arrived on a familiar red planet, seeing Kruge and Berserker Beast preparing for a one-on-one fight.
"Who are you?"
"Don't interrupt our battle, kid!"
Kruge, as always, showed goodwill towards Eden and warned him.
"I am your nightmare!"
Eden dived down, directly shattering Kruge's jaw, avenging the last simulation, and blasted the watching Berserker Beast in the face with his heat vision.
"Let's take out this kid first!"
Berserker Beast roared furiously.
"I think so too."
Kruge pushed his jaw, using brute force to piece his shattered jaw back together, and coldly said to Eden.
"Die!"
Seeing this, Eden accelerated his dive, crashing towards Berserker Beast and Kruge.
"You're seeking death!"
Kruge and Berserker Beast said almost in unison upon seeing this.
"Boom!!"
As Eden, Kruge, and Berserker Beast, three top-tier combatants of the material realm, collided, the entire planet groaned at that moment, and the atmosphere trembled constantly.
Eight hours later.
"End simulation!"
Eden, with a machete embedded in his abdomen, ended this damned simulation.
However, the condition of Eden's opponents, Regent and Berserker Beast, was not much better than his.
Regent not only had his jaw shattered but also lost an eye, and his chest was pierced with a bloody hole by Eden, still profusely bleeding.
Berserker Beast's armor was long since destroyed, he had a broken arm, was missing an ear, and his tail was half-severed by Eden's heat vision.
When Eden returned to his room, the sky had already begun to darken.
"Phew."
Eden touched his fully recovered abdomen, slightly relieved, and continued, "System, continue simulation."
[Master, would you like to return to the last save point, or start a new simulation?!]
The system asked Eden.
"Last save point?"
Eden was a bit confused.
[That is the time point when your last simulation ended; you can continue fighting the injured Kruge and Berserker Beast.]
The system replied.
"No need!"
"If I'm going to fight, I'll fight them both at their strongest."
Eden shook his head.
[As you command.]
After receiving Eden's prompt, the system began a new round of simulation.
"Kid, no matter who you are..."
In the new simulation, Kruge still spoke his lines.
"Screw you!"
Eden directly kicked him away.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Then, Eden blasted Berserker Beast in the face with his heat vision.
"Let's go together!"
Then, Kruge and Berserker Beast, as expected, teamed up again.
Ten hours later.
Yes, this time, Eden lasted a total of ten hours in the simulation, and he inflicted even more severe injuries on Berserker Beast and Kruge.
"Is it four in the morning the next day?"
After the simulation ended, Eden looked at the time, calculated for a bit, and said to the system, "Again!"
The third simulation.
This time, Eden fought even more wildly, without any defense, completely adopting a strategy of trading blows with Berserker Beast and Kruge.
Another ten hours later.
Therefore, this time Eden only simulated for ten hours.
Incidentally, after the simulation ended, the time came to two in the afternoon, and Eden made a special trip to the school.
After Eden found that everything at school was normal and no one had discovered his true identity, he returned to the Kent Family home to continue his simulations.
During this period, all of Eden's food needs were met by the three meals a day delivered by Donald.
Now, Eden no longer needed to hide things from Cecil or Donald; he made it clear that there was a secret in his room.
Thus, a week later.
During this week, Eden simulated no less than ten times.
And in the final simulation.
With Berserker Beast's broken blade embedded in his shoulder, Eden fought Kruge and Berserker Beast for a full day, finally succeeding in taking Berserker Beast's head.
"Now I lack nothing! It's time to make my move."
When Eden sat beside the corpses of Kruge and Berserker Beast, and then, with overwhelming force, took down Berserker Beast's girlfriend and the more than twenty Ragnar (alien tigers, enemies of the Viltrum people) they brought, he smiled.
Mechanical Head Tower.
"Omni-Man, it's her again!"
When Mechanical Head once again lost a large sum of money due to Omni-Man Nolan's sniping of the Knights Order, he was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Mechanical Head, have Isotope gather all available personnel."
Just then, Eden appeared behind Mechanical Head like a ghost, his voice flat as he spoke.
"Are you finally planning to make a move?"
Mechanical Head said excitedly upon hearing this.
"Hmm?"
Eden looked at the extremely agitated Mechanical Head, frowning slightly.
Clearly, Mechanical Head had misunderstood something, but Eden was too lazy to explain.
"Remember, gather as many people as you possibly can."
After leaving Mechanical Head with this one sentence, Eden departed.
"I will absolutely not disappoint your expectations."
After Eden left, Mechanical Head summoned Isotope and said, "Didn't you say before that you'd contacted an alien cat planning to come to Earth to challenge Omni-Man? Perhaps that cat is about to come in handy!"
