Evening, 6:30 PM.
Eden returned home promptly.
"Eden, you're half an hour late today."
"I passed by your usual route home from school and heard the police say you were held hostage?"
"I was so worried, thankfully you're okay, otherwise, I really can't guarantee what I might have done."
As soon as Eden entered the house, he was embraced in a strong hug. The person speaking was his mother, Nolan Grayson, a woman with a voluptuous figure, incredibly strong, capable of using the Moon as a dumbbell for bicep curls. She was undoubtedly the strongest woman on Earth, without equal.
"Don't worry, Mother."
"I'm fine."
"Those police officers got it wrong."
"The reason I came home late today is because I went to get ice cream with my classmates."
Eden hid the fact that he had awakened his superpowers, and for fear that his mother, Nolan, wouldn't believe him, he added, "Todd can vouch for me."
"Really?"
"I thought my son had finally awakened his superpowers but didn't want to tell his dearest mother?"
"You know his mother has always looked forward to protecting the world with her son and continuing the pride of the Viltrumites~"
Nolan said, releasing her son from her embrace, and chuckled.
"How could that be?!"
"I'd love to awaken superpowers myself."
Eden's eye twitched imperceptibly, then he immediately controlled his expression and laughed.
Nonsense, as someone who had watched the entire Invincible comic series of the world he had transmigrated into, Eden did not want to see his mother go on a rampage, even if the person standing before him was Nolan Grayson, and not Nolan Grayson.
Although the gender had changed slightly, her nature as a Viltrumite had not.
"What happened?!"
Just then, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, a black-haired man wearing a blue battlesuit with a large 'S' on his chest and classic briefs worn over his trousers, entered the Kent Family's villa.
"Mwah~"
As soon as the man came in, he kissed Nolan, and the two of them passionately kissed as if no one else was around.
"Don't you two feel awkward?"
Seeing this, Eden couldn't help but complain.
"What's awkward about our own child?"
The man laughed.
"If you're envious, Eden, go find your own."
Nolan looked at Eden, teasing.
"Alright, can we eat now? I'm really hungry."
Eden looked up at the sky helplessly, and at the same time asked.
"Of course."
Nolan smiled, agreeing.
"I'm hungry too."
"After all, I just got back from England."
"But speaking of which, what were you two just talking about? Did something happen that I don't know about?"
At this moment, the man, dressed as if he had run out of the adjacent DC universe, continued to ask.
"Clark, I'll tell you right now."
"You don't know, I just got home from the White House after fixing the George (Muller Twins), and when I found Eden wasn't here, I was truly terrified."
Nolan smiled and said, "So I went to look for him on his way home from school, but I heard people say he was suspected of being captured by Electricity Gathering and Tow Tyrant. But luckily, those New York police officers got it wrong. You know, they often get things wrong, basically never accomplishing anything."
"Those people in New York are useless in everything except for their excellent performance in stealing donuts."
Yes, this man, dressed like a Superman who had run over from the adjacent DC universe, not only looked and had powers identical to Superman, but even his name was Clark Kent.
As a result, when Eden learned that his father was Clark Kent, he once thought he had transmigrated into the DC Universe. It wasn't until Eden learned that his mother was Nolan Grayson and saw the organization that read as Global Guardians and was written as a monkey-version Justice League, that he confirmed he hadn't transmigrated into the DC Universe, but rather into the Invincible comic, or more accurately, the Image Universe.
It was just that the man who should have been named Nolan had, for some unknown reason, undergone a gender swap to Nolan, and had married Clark Kent, who seemingly transmigrated from DC, and given birth to him, the transmigrator.
Hmm, no one in their family was simple.
In response, Eden, who combined the advantages of both Viltrumite and Kryptonian bloodlines, stated, "Although I still have a gap compared to a god among men, I am already very different from Earthlings."
"Hmm, except for my soul, there seems to be nothing left that is related to Earth."
At the same time, Eden also awakened something called the Supervillain Cultivation System.
Honestly, for Eden, who possesses both Kryptonian and Viltrum bloodlines, this thing was truly superfluous.
Eden already had the strongest bloodline; he didn't need help from the system that transmigrators usually have, especially this system, which, just by its name, you knew would only cause trouble.
What Supervillain Cultivation System?
For him, the son of Superman, wouldn't this thing just add to the chaos?
Or was the system planning to watch a famous scene of filial piety between father and son?
However, compared to filial piety between father and son, Eden was more afraid of filial piety between mother and son.
After all, Nolan had a record.
Eden couldn't guarantee that Nolan, after her gender swap, wouldn't go 'mad' upon learning that her child could inherit the Viltrum bloodline. So he had always hidden his superpowers.
Yes, the so-called Viltrumites behind Nolan were not, as Nolan claimed, a group of superheroes who upheld cosmic justice.
The truth was, Viltrumites were all war criminals.
The purpose of the Viltrum people has always been only one: to conquer the entire universe.
After every Viltrum person lands on an intelligent planet, they only face two choices: incorporate the planet into the empire's rule, or, very simply, destroy the planet along with the civilization on its surface.
This also made the Viltrumites infamous among all intelligent civilizations in the universe; all intelligent civilizations changed their color at the mention of 'Wei'.
As for why Nolan has hidden herself until now?!
One, she was wary of the superheroes on Earth.
Two, Nolan herself had not realized that she had fallen in love with her husband, Clark, and her son, Eden.
Three, Nolan was observing whether the people on Earth could inherit the superpowers of the Viltrum people. (Clark claimed he was a native Earthling who accidentally encountered solar radiation and awakened superpowers.)
As for Eden's father?!
Eden could guarantee he was a good person.
After all, that was Clark Kent, the epitome of a good person.
Once Clark knew what his wife, Nolan, and the Viltrum people behind her were truly like, Clark would definitely fight for Earth, and against his wife, along with all the Viltrum people.
Therefore, for the sake of family harmony, Eden had always carefully hidden his superpowers, even though he had awakened the powers of Kryptonians and Viltrum people at the age of five, and continued to do so until now.
"Alas."
"The road ahead is difficult!"
Thinking of this, Eden couldn't help but sigh.
His mother, constantly hiding her identity, could at any moment reveal the true nature of the Viltrum people and begin the conquest of Earth.
His kind-hearted father, who for unknown reasons claimed to be a native Earthling and seemed to have transmigrated from the adjacent DC Universe.
And himself, a transmigrator with a troublesome 'Supervillain Cultivation System,' a completely meaningless cheat.
One could say that every member of the family had endless secrets and various hidden talents.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Smith, after seeing them, would silently give a thumbs-up to the entire family.
