I Want to Be Ancestor-Man

"I want to be an Ancestor Person!"

Jupiter had never felt so light after gaining his superpowers.

"I do whatever I want..."

"Anyone who tries to bully me, bully my brother, or plots against my family—they can all go eat shit!"

"All the pretty girls are mine, everyone I hate has to eat shit, the whole world is my playground..."

Jupiter spoke the cruelest words with the sunniest smile.

"What did you say!?"

Deborah's mouth fell open after hearing Jupiter's words.

"Hey! Bro, how can you say that!?"

Mark looked at Jupiter with eyes full of incomprehension.

"Haha, I was just joking~"

Seeing Stella and Mark's expressions, Jupiter smiled and shook his head.

"Phew..."

"You scared me!"

Deborah slowly let out a sigh of relief. Jupiter's words had startled her—she thought a supervillain was about to appear in their family!?

"Bro, what you just said is definitely the funniest joke of the year!"

Mark also thought Jupiter was joking, and couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up, declaring it the funniest joke he'd ever heard.

"Heh..."

Jupiter didn't answer. He just smiled faintly.

But in the place Mark and Deborah didn't notice.

Nolan was looking at Jupiter with eyes full of appreciation, as if to say, "Did you hear that!? That's my son, Jupiter!"

He truly was Nolan's son, a great Viltrumite! They Viltrumites were born conquerors, rulers! In this universe, they Viltrumites did whatever the fuck they wanted!

"Jupiter!"

Just as the family was enjoying a harmonious moment, Nolan suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Here it comes!"

Jupiter thought to himself, knowing he had succeeded. The reason he had spoken that way was to lure out his father, this greatest invader the Viltrumites had sent to Blue Star.

Yes, the Viltrumites were nothing like the Kryptonians. They weren't here to protect Blue Star—they were here to rule!

This incredibly rare minority race in the entire universe had conquered nearly the entire observable universe!

Almost every single one of them could easily rule a planet!

Spacefaring civilizations were as fragile as paper before the Viltrumites!

"You have to come with me! Let me have a good talk about how such treasonous thoughts sprouted in your mind!"

Nolan grabbed Jupiter's hand, preparing to pull him out of the house.

"Nolan, Jupiter was just telling a joke!"

Deborah looked at Nolan, who was about to drag Jupiter out, with some worry.

"Deborah, what follows is a conversation between father and son!"

"I absolutely will not allow anyone in my family to have such extreme thoughts!"

"Even just thinking about them!"

Nolan used his gaze to stop Deborah and Mark from trying to help.

"Good luck, my brother! I really can't help you here!"

Mark lowered his head like an ostrich and took the opportunity to add a few more dumplings to his bowl.

"..."

Jupiter didn't speak. He was simply dragged out of the house by his father Nolan.

"Jupiter, listen. Were you serious about that thought just now!?"

Nolan flew straight up into the sky with Jupiter, looking at him with a serious expression as he asked.

"Mmm... it should be true." Jupiter first nodded slightly, then explained, "We're so strong, and they're so weak..."

"My child!"

Before Jupiter could finish explaining, Nolan pulled him into a hug.

"You truly are a born Viltrumite!"

Nolan looked at Jupiter, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"A long time ago, when I conquered a high-level civilization with my comrades, I encountered a sorceress. She begged me, saying she would tell me my future in exchange for sparing her life. I agreed, and she told me that my first child on a planet called Blue Star would be a natural-born powerhouse among Viltrumites, surpassing the current Regent King to become the true king of Viltrum, leading our people to conquer the entire universe!"

"After she said that, I killed her, because I feared others might hear her words. At the time, I didn't think her prophecy was accurate—if it were, she should have known that I would kill her immediately after she told me. But clearly, she didn't foresee her own death..."

"When you were born, I remembered that prophecy, and that's the origin of your name, Jupiter! King of the Gods! To the natives of this planet, we Viltrumites are as powerful as deities, and Jupiter, as the king of the gods, signifies that you will one day become the king of us all—the king of the Viltrumites!"

"But child, you never awakened your superpowers, to the point where I thought you were nothing but a lowly Blue Star native. Fortunately, your genes subconsciously kept making you stronger, driving you to constantly train in combat. And today, you finally gained power, becoming one of us Viltrumites, and easily defeated your brother! This has made me believe in that legendary prophecy—son, you are Viltrum's natural-born powerhouse!"

Nolan's spittle flew as he spoke with great excitement; he was almost more worked up than Jupiter himself.

"I'm a bit confused, Father. Aren't we Viltrumites a friendly race!?"

Jupiter looked at Nolan with a feigned expression of bewilderment.

"Hahaha..."

"That's all a lie I used to deceive the natives of this planet!"

"We Viltrumites have never been a friendly people!"

"We Viltrumites are a race that revels in conquest!"

"I deliberately played the part of their imagined superhero, all to gauge this planet's combat strength while plotting how to conquer it!"

"Child, are you willing to help me?"

As he spoke, Nolan extended an olive branch to Jupiter. In truth, Nolan admitted he was gambling a bit—if Jupiter refused, he might lose everything, and could even end up in a father-son duel!

"When do we make our move!?"

But to Nolan's surprise, Jupiter directly asked when they would strike.

"What did you say!?"

Nolan was taken aback; he hadn't expected his son to be so straightforward.

"Uh, I mean, when do we attack this planet?"

Jupiter explained after hearing Nolan's words.

"No rush! This planet isn't as easy to deal with as we imagined. Though its civilization is only at a low-level spacefaring stage, countless bizarre entities are watching over it. It's actually a tough nut to crack! The first enemy standing in our way, father and son, is the Global Guardians!"

Nolan looked at Jupiter seriously; he had already decided it was time to move against the Global Guardians.
