"Scanning..." "Discovered the genes of an alien species. A bunch of useless losers. Even dogs wouldn't want them. Recommendation: convert them directly into energy..." "Warning! The genes of a certain alien species will begin to decay in one minute and thirty seconds. Resolve this as soon as possible. 👌👽"
Jupiter looked at the bunch of monkey-like Namekians before him and laughed. He had to hurry, because if he didn't do something, these aliens—who hadn't adjusted to the time difference between dimensions—would be dead right in front of him in a minute and a half.
"Who's that..."
The members of the Viltrumite Youth Group stared blankly at the golden man hovering overhead.
"Brother..."
Mark had naturally noticed Jupiter descending from the sky like a heavenly god, and called out without thinking.
"Well, I'll be damned. That show-off flying up there is this rookie's brother? Is their whole family made up of metahumans?!"
Rex, dressed in a red bodysuit that made him look more like a sewer worker than a superhero, looked from Mark in the crater to Jupiter hovering in the air like a heavenly god. The chatterbox started running his mouth again.
"Keep it down, Rex. If you don't say anything, nobody will think you're mute!"
Atom Eve, a beautiful woman with long, light-orange hair and a pink bodysuit, couldn't help snapping at Rex.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
While they were talking, a rain of lasers filled the sky and struck Jupiter.
"Brother!"
Mark's heart lurched as he watched Jupiter take the hits. He shouted out, terribly worried.
"Damn, he got hit by that many lasers. I'd bet there's nothing left of him. That's why flying isn't such a big deal—not everyone's Omni-Man."
Rex watched Jupiter disappear beneath the smoke and explosions and kept running his mouth.
"Rex!"
Eve glared at Rex. She wanted to lecture him, but now wasn't the time.
"Robot, hold up the shield for me. I'm going up there to take a look."
Eve turned to Robot and spoke softly.
"Okay."
Robot took Eve's place and held up the shield.
"Mm!"
Eve nodded lightly and flew into the air.
"Rex, you really should talk less."
Robot watched Eve leave, then turned to look at Rex behind him.
"Fine! Fine! It's all my fault."
Rex apologized with a look of disdain. He was always such a jerk.
"Whoo!"
Jupiter blew gently, scattering the smoke around him. The lasers hadn't even scratched his Steel Body. As for why Mark had been beaten so badly? Come on, before gaining superpowers, Mark had spent most of his time on computers and other things. He hadn't devoted himself to honing his body like Jupiter had!
"Hey, are you okay?"
Eve flew up using her powers and greeted Jupiter, who hadn't suffered so much as a scratch.
"You're pretty good!"
"Use your powers to save as many people as you can!"
Jupiter looked at Eve for a moment, then nodded slightly. She was a girl with a lot of potential. What a shame she'd ended up with the wrong people...
"Mark, take that old man to the hospital!"
"Viltrumite Youth Group, leave the rescue work to you. I'll take care of these aliens..."
Jupiter issued his orders to Mark and the young superheroes of the Viltrumite Youth Group in a firm, orderly manner.
"Now it's time for my show!"
Jupiter became a bolt of lightning and shot straight toward the bunch of worthless aliens.
Jupiter was like a speeding tank. Any alien in his path was as fragile as paper, shattering into pieces the instant he hit them.
As soon as Jupiter joined the fight, the pressure on the Viltrumite Youth Group eased. All the aliens concentrated their fire on him, attacking him relentlessly.
"Damn! What does he think we are? His sidekicks? Or does he think he's the leader of the Viltrumite Youth Group?!"
Rex shouted angrily as he watched Jupiter slaughter his way through the enemy ranks.
"Rex, we'd better do what he said."
Robot watched Jupiter's back, his eyes flashing with electronic light. In the end, he concluded that they weren't needed here anymore.
"He's just like Omni-Man..."
Eve used her powers to clear the rubble and rescue civilians, watching Jupiter's back as she spoke.
"Omni-Man? Don't be ridiculous. He's just someone abusing his superpowers. If I had powers, I could do that too!"
Eve's words annoyed Rex. He felt his pride had been trampled.
"..."
"Rex, how can you say that? He saved us."
Eve glared at Rex, then turned and walked away.
"Hey! Eve! Come on, you're not mad at me over some guy cosplaying as Omni-Man, are you?"
Rex raised an eyebrow as he watched Eve. He hadn't expected her to get upset over such a small thing.
"..."
Eve ignored Rex and continued using her powers to help with the rescue.
"Oh, man! She's really mad!"
Rex was a little dejected. He knew Eve really was angry.
"Rex, you should watch your mouth!"
Robot couldn't help reminding Rex.
Meanwhile, while the others were busy with the rescue, Jupiter was having the time of his life.
"Let me show you this move!"
"Viltrumite Staff Technique!"
Jupiter yanked out a streetlight and swung the towering pole wildly, smashing the aliens without a care...
"Boom!"
With a sonic boom, the aliens standing in a row were smashed to bits like cucumbers!
Jupiter apparently didn't like the feel of the pole in his hands, so he switched to a road sign and started flailing it around like he was swatting flies.
The aliens were routed before Jupiter, unable to mount any resistance at all.
Then a blast of light struck Jupiter in the back.
"..."
Jupiter, who'd been mowing down the aliens, turned around.
He faced a tank driver whose expression was full of terror.
Good. The enemy had successfully caught Jupiter's attention.
"Here's another move!"
Jupiter raised a tank belonging to the cucumber aliens with one hand, not caring whether there was a driver inside.
"Invincible Bowling Ball!"
With a graceful motion, Jupiter hurled the tank. It crushed more than a hundred armed aliens into fragments before plunging into the space-time portal behind them and exploding!
"Boom!"
Jupiter listened to the blast ringing in his ears and smiled. What a lovely sound~
"Notice: Thirty seconds remain before the alien cells enter their weakened phase."
Jupiter read the system's warning and decided to get serious.
"Bring it on!"
As he spoke, Jupiter turned into a beam of light. Countless aliens shot into the sky, and tank after tank exploded into pieces.
"Chitter chatter! Chitter chatter!"
An alien whose eyes had been stabbed blind looked at everything before him and shouted furiously. He knew their plan was ruined as long as Jupiter was here, so he turned and opened a time portal.
"Trying to leave?!"
Jupiter kneaded all the tanks together like dough, forming a giant iron ball, then threw it into the portal.
"Remember to take your trash with you, idiots!"
Jupiter didn't know whether they could hear him. He raised a universally recognized friendly gesture toward the portal and told the aliens to take their trash with them.
When everything had settled, Jupiter crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the ravaged street with satisfaction. He'd done a great job.
