NTR Ecstasy

"Had a blast..."

"One and a half minutes. The energy of the spacetime entities rose from 41% to 45..."

"How are these cucumber people so weak? I killed—smashed over a thousand of them, and they only gave me four percent energy?! What a pain. Maybe next time I should just charge into their home planet and kill them all..."

Jupiter glanced at the watch on his wrist. He'd promised Deborah he'd be back in a minute, but he'd gone and taken a minute and a half. He was also at a loss for words over the energy inside these cucumber aliens. According to the system's assessment, their individual power levels were around brick-breaking or wall-smashing strength, and their physiques weren't much stronger than an average Blue Star human's. They had no value at all.

"Leave things here to you."

After a moment of speechless dismay, Jupiter floated in the air, glanced down at the Viltrumite Youth Group, and tossed out a remark before speeding off toward a certain five-pointed-star-shaped building.

"Fine! Fine!"

"So nobodies like us are supposed to be looked down on, right?! We have to do all the dirty work and the supporting jobs, right?!"

"You bastard..."

Rex glared at Jupiter's retreating figure and shouted angrily, but Jupiter hadn't bothered with him from beginning to end. He simply filed Rex's words away and would settle the score with him later.

"Mom, Mark."

When Jupiter returned to the hospital room, he saw Mark covered in blood and holding Deborah. Fighting an enemy who killed without blinking for the first time had put a great deal of pressure on Mark, both physically and mentally.

"You did really well!"

Jupiter patted Mark on the shoulder as he watched him being worn down emotionally. In such a short time, the boy had experienced the great joy of awakening his superpowers, only to see his father gravely injured by an unknown enemy. He'd wanted to save people like a superhero, but instead the enemy had beaten him senseless, and in the end he hadn't even managed to save anyone. Mark's life had swung wildly between highs and lows in a short time. The fact that he could still keep a positive attitude was remarkable.

"Really, Jupiter...?"

Mark looked up at that. He knew Jupiter was trying to comfort him, but right now, he needed that comfort.

"It's true! You did great. The first time I faced an opponent, I couldn't even throw a punch. Compared to that, you're amazing..."

Jupiter continued praising Mark for a while.

"I feel a lot better hearing you say that."

Jupiter's praise encouraged Mark, and his spirits gradually lifted.

"Mark, Jupiter, I'll be fine here. You two should go home. You have school tomorrow..."

Deborah stood up and took Jupiter and Mark's hands in hers. With Nolan down, she was the only adult in the family, and she had to hold the whole household together, giving her children encouragement and strength. It had nothing to do with physical strength or whether they had superpowers. It was a mother's love for her children.

"..."

Jupiter furrowed his brow slightly. In the end, he wasn't worried about whether other people might be hurt because of his and Nolan's plans. But Deborah—his mother in this world—was the one person he couldn't face without guilt.

That was why he'd tried to work things out with Nolan, finding a gentler way to take control of this world...

For example, secretly controlling the Global Security Bureau and propping up puppets to take power, then ruling all of Blue Star from behind the scenes. There was no need for the Virtumians to step into the spotlight. Remaining in the shadows and controlling the bigger picture was what they should do. Nolan was doing a great job of that already. When he attacked the Global Guardians, their first thought wasn't that Nolan had really turned evil, but that he'd been controlled...

They would keep Nolan playing his role, turning him from the world's hero into an indispensable leader!

They would make Blue Star understand that Nolan didn't need them—they were the ones who couldn't live without him...

In short, they'd put on a grand show, fool everyone on Blue Star, indulge Jupiter's taste for mischief, and achieve their ultimate goal of ruling the planet...

That was what Jupiter had envisioned, but the exact plan still depended on what Nolan, lying in his hospital bed, intended to do. In any case, one thing they definitely had to do now was cripple the Global Security Bureau led by Xisels. There was no doubt about that.

"I'll take Mark home..."

Jupiter shook his head, stopping himself from getting carried away with his thoughts. He turned to Deborah and promised her, then pulled Mark behind him.

"Mm!"

Deborah gave a slight nod and said no more. She trusted Jupiter to handle it.

"Come on, Mark! Let's not worry Mom."

Jupiter spoke to Mark.

"I know..."

Mark had wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept it to himself and clenched his fists. He wanted to get stronger—stronger still—until he lived up to the "Invincible" in his hero name, Invincible Young Hero.

"Ugh..."

Aside from Deborah, there was also his foolish little brother. If he could help it, Jupiter really didn't want to trade blows with Mark. He didn't want to beat his already-not-very-bright little brother until he became a blur. It would hurt them both.

The night passed in silence...

The next day...

Jupiter and Mark went to school together.

They hadn't gone to school together much lately. Mark mainly thought that if he kept going with Jupiter, people would think he hadn't grown up.

At school, Jupiter and Mark ran into Mark's blond little sidekick.

"Hey, Mark! Jupiter!"

The blond kid stared at Jupiter in surprise. He knew about Mark and Jupiter's relationship, but he rarely saw them together at school, so he was surprised to see them now.

"Mm..."

Jupiter didn't know the blond kid's name, so he only smiled and nodded.

"Mark, why do you look so down?"

The blond kid didn't mind that Jupiter couldn't remember his name. Jupiter was a star around campus, so of course it was normal for him not to know everyone's names! Instead, he was curious about why Mark seemed so dejected.

"Our dad was attacked. He got hurt..."

Mark sighed and told him what had been worrying him lately.

"Oh, I'm sorry... My God, I mean, is your dad all right?"

The blond kid looked at Mark and Jupiter with concern.

"He's okay..."

"That was Eve, right?!"

Mark suddenly noticed Eve talking to someone at school.

"I'm going to go say something to her."

Mark was going over to thank Eve.

"Mark, of course that's Eve. Every guy in school wants to talk to her. I'd save yourself the trouble! Didn't you just get threatened for talking to Amber?"

The blond kid stood behind Mark. He could already picture Mark getting rejected.

"Excuse me."

Jupiter smiled at the blond kid and headed toward Eve too.

He remembered that bastard Rex had insulted him, so he had no choice. He'd just have to reluctantly NTR Rex, then find a chance to get rid of him. This was NTR ecstasy...
