Toasting the Disappearance of the Global Guardians

Jupiter transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly arriving above the capital of the Fog Country, London...

Jupiter, as soon as he arrived, saw Nolan in the air beating a giant snake nearly a thousand meters long with wings on its back.

"Father, I'm here to help."

Jupiter arrived beside Nolan and punched the giant snake's back.

"Roar!"

After taking Jupiter's punch, the giant snake roared in pain, its body trembling and rolling back and forth as if in great agony.

"Father, this snake is..."

Jupiter looked at the strange snake before him with some curiosity. It was the first time he had ever seen a snake with wings on its back.

"This snake is called Kukulkan. After I arrived on Earth, I fought it many times. Normally, we beat it up, throw it into the sea, and then it leaves on its own."

Nolan grabbed the giant snake by the neck, swung it around, and then threw it into the sea.

"Splash!"

The giant snake entered the sea, creating huge waves.

"And that's that."

"Let's go home! Jupiter!"

Nolan waved to Jupiter after dealing with the giant snake Kukulkan.

"Okay~"

Jupiter licked his lips as he watched the giant snake Kukulkan swim away. To be honest, he felt quite regretful about letting it go. He had learned various methods of eating snakes on his way here.

"Jupiter, we haven't acted together in a long time. Let's see who gets home first!"

"Whoever gets home last has to be responsible for washing the dishes for a month. 👣🔥 🐍♡"

Nolan raised an eyebrow slightly at Jupiter.

"Then prepare yourself to wash dishes for a month..."

Jupiter smiled slightly at his words and then turned into an afterimage, rushing into the clouds.

"Cunning brat."

Nolan watched Jupiter sprint away, a slight smile forming on his lips as he closely followed behind.

"Boom!"

Jupiter accelerated, flying faster and faster. The air currents alone from his flight carved deep scars across the sea, as if trying to divide it.

One minute later...

"Dad, looks like I was faster."

Jupiter landed steadily in Grayson's yard.

"I let you win."

Nolan landed beside Jupiter less than a second after he did.

"I didn't go all out either."

Jupiter emphasized that he had also held back.

"..."

Then, Jupiter and Nolan stared at each other for a second.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, they both burst into laughter.

"Let's go! Take a shower, and then have a good meal!"

"By the way, do you want to drink?"

Nolan asked Jupiter.

"I'm not an adult yet, am I?"

"I'm asking if you want to drink, not if you're an adult."

"Besides, according to our Virtumian rules, the moment you gained superpowers, you became a Virtumian adult responsible for great responsibilities."

Nolan patted Jupiter on the shoulder and said.

"In that case, I'll definitely have some."

Jupiter nodded slightly. As long as Nolan could convince Deborah, everything would be fine.

The father and son then took turns showering and turned on the TV...

Watching the latest news while drinking red wine.

"Oh, my goodness!"

"Excuse me everyone, please allow me to interrupt with a news bulletin..."

The beautiful host, who had been narrating the meteorite incident to the viewers, turned deathly pale after receiving a message. It seemed the mere sight of the information was enough to fill her with terror.

"Everyone, I hope you won't get too agitated..."

"Please listen calmly..."

"I've just received word that our heroes, the members of the Global Guardians – King of the Sea, Darkwing, War Woman, Martian Man, Immortal Man, Green Ghost, and Crimson Speed – were attacked by an unknown enemy and have all perished..."

"My, oh my! How I wish today were April Fools' Day and this was all just a prank..."

As the beautiful host spoke, two streams of tears slowly trickled from her eyes.

"Cheers, son."

Nolan raised his glass as he watched the report on the television.

"Dad, let's toast to the disappearance of the Global Guardians~"

Jupiter swirled the wine in his goblet and gently clinked it against Nolan's.

"Hahahaha..."

The next second, father and son burst into laughter once more.

Just as everyone in the world was mourning the demise of the Global Guardians, silently commemorating the heroes in their hearts, the most powerful father and son on the planet were raising their glasses and drinking, using alcohol to drown their joy.

One couldn't help but admit, it was truly a sorrowful day...

When Deborah returned, she saw the wine glasses in the room and Jupiter, who appeared drunk but was actually unaffected due to his superhuman physique. She frowned deeply.

"Nolan, I need an explanation."

Deborah crossed her arms and glared at Nolan, believing he had set a bad example for Jupiter by drinking at such a young age. What kind of behavior was that?!

"Deborah, let's just let it slide today!"

Nolan pointed to the television behind him, where the news about the Guardians' deaths was being broadcast, his face filled with grief.

"Sigh..."

Deborah glanced at the news on the TV about the Global Guardians' demise and let out a soft sigh.

She embraced both Nolan and Jupiter.

"May all the suffering in this world pass."

Deborah's heart was filled with pain; she felt truly pained.

"May all the suffering in this world pass."

Nolan and Jupiter exchanged a glance and repeated Deborah's words. They, too, appeared to be in pain, though one was faking it, while the other was in agony from suppressing his laughter.

"Cissels just informed me that I'll be the one delivering the eulogy for the Global Guardians tomorrow. Everyone's nerves are too frayed right now; I have to step up and give the public confidence..."

"Oh, and after the global memorial service, there will be a small, private funeral. Only friends of the Global Guardians and a few individuals who know their true identities will attend. You two should go."

Nolan patted Jupiter and Deborah on the shoulders.

"Of course."

Jupiter nodded. If he didn't attend such a spectacular show, he'd be letting down his Ancestor Person heritage.

"Clink..."

Just as Jupiter, Nolan, and Deborah were immersed in the sorrow of attending the Global Guardians' funeral, the house door was suddenly opened. Mark walked in, humming a tune, seemingly very happy.

"Huh?!"

Mark frowned as he looked at the three people in the room exuding an aura of grief.

"Did I miss something?"

Mark asked them, confused.

"No, you didn't miss anything, my foolish younger brother."

Jupiter sighed as he looked at Mark. Seeing Mark's beaming face, he knew Mark was in trouble; he had fallen in love.

As for who had made Mark fall in love? Jupiter knew with his toes who it was: that little blonde girl named Amber
