Viltrumite, Is Your Mightiest Chat Group Fake?

These past few days, Leon had been diligently carrying out his superior's orders.

He needed to have an answer ready by the day Nolan came to inspect.

Naturally, he had been spending a great deal of time with his little group, including Marcia and Eve.

"Did you see the news a few days ago? Omni-Man saved seven people at once, then knocked out the Mauler Twins with a single punch."

As they walked down the hallway together, Marcia waved her fist beside Leon.

"Let's see what they have to say this time."

As far as Leon knew,

this pretty girl with long black hair came from a rather wealthy family. Her father was a writer, and her mother worked in real estate.

Yet, in order to be independent, she still worked part-time at a burger joint.

Of course, she also needed money for her favorite comic, Godfall Hound, which released two issues every month during summer.

Apparently, it was pretty expensive.

And, as everyone could see, she was a diehard Omni-Man fan.

Hearing that, Eve on Leon's left tossed her hair and teased, "Here we go again, Marcia. If William were here, he'd definitely agree with you like this—"

She adjusted her voice.

"Supporting the weak so passionately, you must be a Yankees fan. But he really is sexy, especially that little mustache."

Before Marcia could react, Leon felt a chill run down his spine.

In conclusion, William was the sort of guy you could be good brothers with. Just look at Mark.

But clearly, Leon still needed time to get used to this place.

"If you ask me, instead of watching villains cause trouble day after day, look at this!"

Eve pulled up a video on TikTok and held it out before them.

The two leaned in to watch, nearly bumping heads.

The video's title read—

A Mysterious Powerhouse Splits a Building in One Strike and Defeats Immortal Man?!

Judging from the filmer's angle, Leon guessed they had been in the building next to the one he had used as a starting point.

But there was only so much they could capture.

The dust cloud Leon had kicked up while running, the power plant crackling with arcs of electricity under the Electric Man's control.

Then the shaking building, Immortal Man flying inside, and Leon's hand chop.

Finally, Immortal Man crawled out from the ruins.

"Don't you think this is amazing? Very few superhumans can create a cut on this scale."

As Atomic Eve, Eve needed to have a sufficiently deep understanding of matter.

It was no surprise that she could see that.

But Marcia said, "I think Omni-Man could deal with someone like that easily, unlike Immortal Man. He's invincible."

Sis, that was a little insulting. I could at least fight back.

Leon curled his lip, while Eve immediately refuted her.

"But Marcia, Immortal Man's strength is universally acknowledged. I think he was just careless this time."

Leon found it hard to imagine that one day, he would watch two girls argue over how strong heroes were.

In the end, as expected, they turned to Leon.

"What do you think?"

Leon pondered for a moment, then chose to tell the truth.

"Honestly, even though he didn't show much, Immortal Man feels... less powerful than Omni-Man."

I took those hits myself. My cracked bones can testify—

Oh, those had healed a long time ago.

"Go be with your Omni-Man, then!"

Eve shot him a sidelong glance and ran off to class.

Meanwhile, Marcia happily hooked her arm through his. She had finally found a fellow fan in this wasteland of power scaling.

"I knew you'd be on my side!"

Superior Nolan, did you see that? I'm fighting for the Empire's prosperity.

With that thought, Leon opened the chat group.

Things had been steadily improving in the group lately.

After the last mission, Ritsuka Fujimaru had begun exploring her room.

According to her, the Master's room seemed connected to part of Chaldea. Training and daily life could both be handled there.

At the same time, a countdown had appeared in her room. She guessed that when it reached zero, it would be time to set off.

After finishing his training, Itadori had already met their third classmate, Nobara.

Leon did not know whether it was the butterfly effect he had caused, making the people pushing the conspiracy in their world hesitate.

The intervals between their incidents had become much longer than expected. He did not know whether that was good or bad.

The Emperor was always working overtime in the genetics laboratory whenever he spoke.

Or he would complain about Makado, who kept saying things like:

"Emperor, you're researching genes again? Why not take a break and handle some state affairs?"

He had probably become obsessed with fantasies of flying Primarchs and forgotten everything else.

As for the Scout, he had already received his S suit and taken a photo.

Honestly, Leon thought he really did look a bit like Henry Cavill.

Hopefully, the Zod he would have to fight would match that version's strength.

As for Amiya, her schedule would have to be considered alongside this chat group update.

[After this chat group update, group members may spend points here to generate commissions and summon other group members to their world.

The currently available mission types are:

Combat Mission: Participants may move throughout the entire world, but their duration is brief.

Escort Mission: Participants must remain within a fixed range around the world's main character. Leaving that range will trigger a repatriation countdown, but the duration is relatively longer.

Each mission will have specific objectives, as well as the possibility of triggering special rewards.

Failure to complete the mission within the time limit will result in automatic repatriation. Points will not be refunded, and completing the mission early will not shorten the time limit.

In addition, this chat group has many more functions that will soon be unlocked. Stay tuned.]

That day, Amiya had used this announcement to ask Leon to come to her world on commission.

During this time, Neos had gained a preliminary understanding of Oripathy through medical reports.

His exact words had been:

[Yellow Weasel, Neither Man nor God: Originium... this all-purpose stuff has seeped into the entire industrial system and can even be used to perform Arts.

And it can erode the human body too. Sounds awfully familiar.]

[Yellow Weasel, Neither Man nor God: But unfortunately, I can't make any further judgments before I get my hands on a physical sample.]

That nearly made Amiya so anxious that she wanted to run straight to the Warhammer universe.

After all, she was infected too.

Fortunately, she listened to Leon. A little persuasion was enough to calm her down.

Now, she planned to travel with the Doctor.

The other party's Oripathy suppressant had already achieved preliminary results.

But to awaken Amiya's parents, they would need to find more unconventional methods on Terra.

Yet, they seemed to have their hands tied.

Faced with Babel being attacked by the Military Commission, the Doctor could not simply stand by.

So, Amiya hoped Leon could come over and help.

In her mind, no one was more capable than Big Brother Leon. Any problem would surely be resolved before him.

At the same time, she attached Kal'tsit's original words regarding the matter.

Looking at that cryptic passage full of suffering and other such nonsense about this land,

Leon's Viltrumite CPU automatically filtered out the fluff and reached a conclusion.

[Viltrumite Honor Student: So, in short, we just need to take out Theresis, right?]

This Is Viltrumite Wisdom

[Spicy Donkey Head: Huh?! Um, it probably doesn't have to go that far... Theresis is Her Highness Theresa's older brother.]

[Kansas Farm Boy: Yeah, Leon. I don't think you need to resort to such an extreme approach.

From my experience, if you just stand there and let them beat you up, once they're tired, the problem will be solved.]

That was why you sometimes got ambushed, Clark...

Leon grumbled inwardly.

His damage-tanking mindset was too severe. His speed and reactions were clearly no worse than anyone else's, but when he fought, it was like he had disabled the dodge button.

Most curb-stomp battles were fine, but if some scheming bastard snuck into the weaklings and fired a shot of Kryptonite, trouble would follow.

Viltrumites were different. They sparred amicably every day.

Everyone was evenly matched. If you did not learn to dodge and defend, death was inevitable.

[Viltrumite Honor Student: But as Ms. Kal'tsit on little Amiya's side said, two of the pillars supporting the Military Commission are Theresis's strength and reputation.

If we deal with him, then whether it's the Royal Court within the Commission or the Sarkaz under his command, there should be a high chance they'll turn to the Demon King's cause and reunify once more, right?]

[Spicy Donkey Head: B-but Miss Theresa said that the rulers of those Royal Courts are also hoping for war themselves.]

[Viltrumite Honor Student: Then take them all out.]

You see, Viltrumites were not stupid. They simply got straight to the core of the problem.

[Yellow Weasel, Neither Man nor God: Couldn't agree more. Decapitate them with thunderous measures and swiftly unify the race. That is the most efficient method.]

[Orange-Haired, Golden-Eyed Evil Human: No matter what, I think being decisive must be the right choice.]

After thinking about it, Leon directly opened a video call with Amiya through private messages.

"Big Brother Leon!"

Seeing his face again after so long, the little rabbit was overjoyed. She had started calling Leon that too, following Itadori and the others.

Then she noticed Leon's background: utter darkness, dotted with faint stars.

"But Big Brother Leon, where are you right now?"

"In space."

As it turned out, while looking through the chat group, Leon had already left school and begun his daily training.

"What is space?"

"It's the place above the sky. If you keep flying upward, you'll see this—"

Leon adjusted the camera and pointed it at the blue planet below him.
