First, Let's Set a Small Goal, Like Wiping Out the Guard!

"Let's join forces and take them down together!"

Jupiter knew the Global Guardians—they were basically a carbon copy of the DC Justice League. Darkwing matched Batman, the War Goddess matched Wonder Woman, Green Ghost matched Green Lantern, the Martian Man matched Martian Manhunter, Crimson Speed matched the Flash, and then there was the Immortal Man, whose counterpart was unclear. This group was a weakened version of the Zack Snyder Justice League, and in this world, they were called the Global Guardians!

Against this so-called Global Guardians, Jupiter was confident he could beat them. The Viltrumite physique gave him strength surpassing the Henry Cavill version of Superman from Superman: Man of Steel!

"Oh, no need. I can handle them alone!"

"If you're planning to help your father, at least learn to fly first."

Nolan smiled faintly at Jupiter's words. It wasn't that he was mocking his son's weakness—he genuinely didn't need anyone else's help. Dealing with the Global Guardians was more than enough for him alone.

"Fly!?"

"Like this?"

Jupiter gently pushed away from his father, and then something miraculous happened—he floated effortlessly in the air.

"Son, you're a genius!"

"After I got my powers, it took me a whole hour to learn how to fly. You figured it out in an instant?"

Nolan stared at Jupiter, eyes wide. He became even more convinced that his son was a natural-born powerhouse, on par with or even surpassing the Viltrumite regent, Thrag!

"Flying is just like walking in the air. Isn't it simple?"

Jupiter didn't know why he could fly, but he just felt he could, so he did. It was that simple—like a human drinking water, eating, or breathing, something learned from the moment of birth.

"I knew you were a genius!"

"Come on, let's see who's faster!"

"Son, you know the Earth is round, right?"

Nolan asked Jupiter with some excitement.

"I learned that in elementary school..."

As he spoke, Jupiter turned into a streak of light and shot off into the distance.

"Kid, you're cheating!"

Nolan followed close behind Jupiter, keeping pace.

The two of them were like beams of light, racing across the sky.

Ten minutes later...

"Boom!"

With a burst of air pressure, Jupiter was the first to return to his starting point.

He glanced at the light behind him, smiled slightly, and flew toward his house.

"Ring ring..."

Jupiter opened the door and walked inside.

"Hey, Mom, can you make me another batch of dumplings? I'm starving!"

Jupiter said with a smile as he looked at Deborah.

"Sure. By the way, where's your father?"

Deborah blinked at Jupiter, a little puzzled that she hadn't seen Nolan, and asked.

"Right behind me!"

Jupiter plopped down into a chair, crossed his legs, and waited quietly for his father to return.

"Ring ring..."

Just as Jupiter sat down, Nolan pushed open the door.

"See?"

Jupiter pointed behind him at Nolan with a grin.

"Son, you cheated!"

"You clearly got a head start!"

"We should have some sportsmanship. Listen, the blood flowing through your veins is from an ancient Eastern nation and Viltrum, not from some cheap knockoff country and Viltrum!"

Nolan walked up to Jupiter, a little annoyed.

"Got it, Dad! I'll watch it next time!"

Jupiter nodded. It really was his fault.

"Good, as long as you understand!"

Nolan didn't dwell on it. He sat down beside Jupiter and also looked at Deborah.

"I want a batch of dumplings too! Just finished exercising, I'm starving!"

Nolan said the exact same thing as Jupiter.

"You two are drenched in sweat—what have you been up to!?"

Deborah watched Nolan and Jupiter with some curiosity.

"A bit of friendly father-son sparring!"

Nolan thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and said.

"And I won!"

Jupiter kept stuffing dumplings into his mouth, declaring that he had beaten his own father.

"You only won because you cheated!"

Nolan frowned, a little annoyed, but quickly relaxed his brow.

"But honestly, this kid Jupiter is the fastest child I've ever seen! Even I wasn't that fast at his age. Jupiter, you might become the fastest in the entire universe!"

Nolan patted Jupiter on the shoulder, full of confidence in his son.

"Cut it out! I don't want to be that fast. A man shouldn't be that fast..."

Jupiter quickly cut Nolan off upon hearing that—come on, a man being fast was not a good thing...

"Hahaha..."

Nolan burst out laughing at that.

"Son, do you have a girlfriend? If you see someone you like, go for it boldly! Your father..."

Nolan laughed heartily and began to recount his glorious history.

"Ahem..."

Deborah heard this and gave a light cough, cutting Nolan off.

"Ahem!"

"I mean, in this life, I've only ever loved your mother."

Nolan, noticing Deborah, quickly cleared his throat twice.

"When it's just you and me, I'll tell you more..."

Nolan winked at Jupiter and said in a low voice.

"Alright, Dad~"

Jupiter raised an eyebrow. He was only mildly interested in this stuff. Since Nolan wanted to brag, he didn't mind listening...

"..."

"I'm going to my room."

Mark, who had already finished eating, watched Jupiter chatting and laughing with Nolan, opened his mouth slightly, but ultimately just left them with a view of his back as he headed upstairs to his room.

"Dad, you should spend more time with my foolish little brother."

Jupiter watched Mark leave, raised an eyebrow, and said softly.

"Jupiter, Mark is different from you. He's more like an Earthling, so we need to give him some time to slowly come around!"

Nolan looked around, leaned in close to Jupiter's ear, and whispered.

"Alright~"

"Whatever you say..."

Jupiter didn't argue. He was just making a casual comment anyway. His foolish little brother, as the protagonist of Invincible Young Hero, was a righteous guy with morals on par with Superman's.

"Oh, by the way, Old Man, am I supposed to fight the Global Guardians in these clothes?"

Jupiter suddenly remembered something and asked Nolan.

"Of course not..."

Nolan shook his head.

"You need your own Battle Suit, just like mine!"

Nolan said he would make Jupiter a skintight combat suit like his own.

"That's best!"

Jupiter nodded. He didn't want to wear this outfit—one that required him to stay focused and use his own bio-field to protect it—while fighting the strongest guard team on this planet!
