Thus, Eden simulated from 7 PM until 6 AM.
Initially, Eden needed a ten-minute break after each simulation.
But the further along he got, the more experienced and powerful Eden became in combat.
By the time Eden performed his final simulation in the morning, he had successfully defeated Nolan in less than half an hour, without using any Kryptonian abilities throughout the entire process.
"Phew."
Eden opened his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling, and slowly exhaled, looking refreshed and invigorated.
"Good thing it was just a simulation."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't even remember how many Marks in the multiverse I'd made fatherless."
The first thing Eden did after waking up was to tell a dark joke to himself.
Eden even felt he could earn the title of 'Father Slayer'.
Ahem.
"Getting closer and closer to directly defeating the Berserker Beast."
Eden murmured to himself.
Currently, Eden should be the third strongest combatant in the entire universe, surpassed only by the Berserker Beast and the Regent, both of whom, when going all out, could nearly instantly kill an elite Viltrum person in almost a single encounter.
"Speaking of which."
"Mom and Dad should be back today, right?"
"With my current strength, I could directly confront Mom."
"But honestly, I'm still a bit nervous, and I haven't quite prepared myself mentally."
After getting up, Eden's expression was somewhat emotional; three days had truly passed quickly.
However, as soon as Eden opened his phone, he saw a message from his mother, Nolan.
"Eden, my dear son!"
"By the time you read this message, your father and I have already gone to Hawaii for our 'honeymoon'."
"Thanks to the President's generosity, and also to your father's great 'luck', blessed by the Goddess of Fortune, he actually drew the first prize in the queue."
"I think what Mother is truly grateful for is not Father's luck, nor the Goddess of Fortune's blessing, but rather our Kryptonian innate X-ray vision."
"This allows Father to be invincible in any lottery, always drawing the first prize he wants, and taking Mom on all-expenses-paid trips around the world."
After finishing the message, Eden shrugged: "Well, it seems I can postpone it a bit longer; at least I don't have to reveal it so soon."
"But no matter how I look at it, this is a bit too coincidental."
Eden murmured to himself.
When coincidences happen one after another, it's often no longer a coincidence.
"..."
Thinking this, Eden silently walked downstairs. As he neared the kitchen corner, he suddenly raised his right hand and directly grabbed someone's neck. Without turning his head, he said coldly, "Illegally invading someone's home can cost you your life, my dear Mr. Cecil."
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Let go first, Eden."
"Listen to me, let go first."
The person who had trespassed into the Kent Family's house and was caught on the spot by Eden, held by the neck with one hand, was naturally the famous head of the Earth Defense Organization, and also the former ace agent of the Earth Defense Organization, Cecil Steadman.
At this moment, Cecil's face was red, and he kept patting Eden's arm, pleading, "You should be able to tell that I have no ill will towards you! There's no one else here besides me."
"Mr. Cecil, before you say these things, please first have those agents approximately five hundred meters from here, who are listening in with high-end eavesdropping equipment, and the soldiers with heavy weapons on standby, leave. Then we can discuss what happens next."
Eden's gaze spanned five hundred meters, seeing everything outside with perfect clarity.
"Okay, okay."
"Listen up, all of you, get back to base, immediately!"
Cecil nodded repeatedly, and holding a communicator, he commanded loudly.
At this moment, Cecil also realized that Eden was not the easygoing person he had expected. This guy was incredibly polite with his words, calling him Mr. Cecil repeatedly, but his hands were anything but gentle, nearly choking him to death.
Eden: "You are truly slandering me. If I hadn't held back, you would have already been flattened into a paper cutout, your body completely two-dimensional."
"Alright, what do you want to talk about?!"
Seeing this, Eden gently released Cecil. He unhurriedly made himself a cup of coffee, then looked directly at Cecil and said, "I'll give you five minutes. I still have to go to school later."
"Cough, cough."
After a fit of coughing, Cecil clutched his neck and said to Eden, "You have indeed awakened superpowers, just like your parents."
"Haven't you already known?"
"So you specifically had the Robot test me."
Eden's expression remained unchanged, as if he had long guessed that Cecil knew about his superpowers.
After all, the Robot belonged to Cecil, so if the Robot knew, it meant Cecil also knew.
"It seems you know everything."
"In that case, these materials I prepared won't be needed."
As Cecil spoke, he conjured a tablet computer out of thin air.
The screen of the tablet displayed the scene of Eden following the Frank's Sa People through the portal.
"After that, we deciphered the Frank's Sa People's technology and successfully crossed over to their world, only to find it had become a dead star."
Cecil paused here, then looked up at Eden and asked, "Do you have anything to explain about this?"
"Perhaps they encountered a natural disaster?"
"You know, dinosaurs died from an asteroid impact."
"A civilization is far more fragile than we imagine."
Eden yawned, avoiding the question.
"Alright, if you don't want to say, then forget it."
"I don't want to delve too deeply into this matter either."
"But there's one thing I must tell you: regarding everything you did on the Frank's Sa People's planet, I am supportive."
Cecil paused here.
"In fact, according to our investigation, you didn't awaken your superpowers recently."
"The time of your superpower awakening can be traced back at least a year ago, or even earlier."
"As for why you haven't told your great parents, these strongest superheroes from outer space, about awakening your superpowers, we don't know, but we can roughly guess the reason."
Cecil babbled on and on.
"Five minutes are almost up."
Eden said, standing up from his seat.
"We need your help, child."
"The world needs you, the people need you, and I need you."
"I, Cecil, guarantee you, in the name of the Earth Defense Organization and the Director of the Global Defense Agency, that your privacy will absolutely be protected, and the entire world will not be able to figure out your identity, including your great parents."
Cecil said a lot, finally revealing his ultimate goal: he needed Eden to join the Global Guardians.
"You can't do it, Cecil."
"Your guarantee is meaningless to me."
Eden said without turning his head.
Eden had no interest in becoming a superhero; he only wanted to live a peaceful life.
"Five million US dollars!"
"I will give you five million US dollars for each mission you complete!"
Cecil looked at Eden's back and said loudly.
"Tsk."
Hearing this, Eden's body immediately stopped in place.
Eden turned to look at Cecil and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
