On the return journey, Eden diligently began his simulations again.
The return trip also took a week.
And within that week, Eden simulated a total of three times.
The first time, Eden took fifty-five hours to defeat the Berserker Beast.
The second time, Eden took fifty hours to defeat the Berserker Beast.
The third time, Eden took forty hours to defeat the Berserker Beast.
In these three simulations, Eden defeated the Berserker Beast faster each time than the last, and his strength grew increasingly stronger.
The time for the three simulations, plus Eden's summary and analysis time after each simulation, totaled approximately six and a half days.
After the three simulations, only half a day remained until their return to Earth.
During this half-day, Eden uncharacteristically chose to rest instead of continuing to simulate.
Eden also needed some time to adjust his state and constantly ponder the various matters he would face upon returning to Earth.
"After returning to Earth, I won't have time to spend over forty hours simulating; I need to think about the next course of action."
On the spaceship, Eden thought with some vexation.
And so, at nine o'clock on Saturday evening,
Amidst a roar, the Mars exploration vessel successfully arrived at Earth.
"Click! Click! Click!"
Finally, under the frantic cameras of countless media reporters, the four Astronauts and their spoils of war, a living Martian, disembarked from the spaceship.
"This trip to Mars was a great success!"
"Not only that, but to highlight the friendship between us Earthlings and the Martians, the Martian King even dispatched their representative to Earth to celebrate this victory and wonder with us."
Thus, under the packaging of various forces, this Martian, who had been exiled by the Martian King, successfully became famous worldwide.
Only Martian Man, one of the current members of the Global Guardians First Team, shook his head and said, "This is impossible! The Martian King is a foolish, stubborn, selfish, and paranoid idiot!"
"He wouldn't send a representative to Earth for the sake of peace between Earth and Mars. I think that young fellow was most likely exiled by the Martian King as well."
Yes.
Martian Man had revealed the truth in one sentence.
But everyone on Earth seemed not to care about the truth.
"Cecil, in the week I've been off Earth, have there been any major events?!"
Just as everyone worldwide was celebrating the successful human mission to Mars, Eden quietly returned to his residence and immediately asked Cecil.
"Buzz!"
The moment Eden's voice fell, Cecil appeared before him. He shook his head and said, "No."
"I mean, didn't my parents notice anything?"
Eden continued to ask Cecil.
"I'm afraid not."
Cecil shook his head and then said to himself, "After Nolan successfully resolved the alien invasion crisis, and Clark 'persuaded' the dimensional lord who intended to invade Earth, they returned to Hawaii to continue their sweet two-person world."
"What about school?"
Eden then asked Cecil about school.
"I had Donald impersonate you and go to school in your place. With our cover, there weren't too many problems."
Cecil continued.
"Wait."
"What do you mean by having Donald go to school in my place?"
"Cecil, even if you don't think highly of our school's students, you can't treat them like 'deaf and blind' NPCs in a single-player game, can you?"
Eden said, speechless.
"Don't worry about that. Donald wore a bionic mask on his face. If you just look at his appearance, you won't see any difference from you."
Cecil said firmly.
"Alright."
Eden sighed, reluctantly agreeing with Cecil. He would still have to go to school himself on Monday to check the situation.
Of course, if everything really went smoothly, having Donald replace him at school while he secretly simulated and grew stronger during that time seemed like a good option.
"Also, there's the selection process for the Global Guardians Second Team."
"In the two weeks you were away, with the help of Robots, we strictly screened one hundred and forty heroes from over fourteen hundred applicants worldwide for the Global Guardians Second Team."
"As for the initial seven members of the Global Guardians Second Team, they will be selected from these one hundred and forty people."
"Furthermore, because The Immortal was expelled by us, the Global Guardians First Team also needs a powerful hero to fill the vacancy."
"This hero who fills the vacancy will also be chosen from these one hundred and forty heroes! We will select someone with sufficient qualifications, strength, and character to take on the role."
"So, regarding the assessment and selection for the Global Guardians Second Team, would you like to be present to observe?!"
After some thought, Cecil 'reported' his work during those days to Eden.
"When?"
Eden asked Cecil for the specific time of the Guardians Second Team's assessment and selection.
"The time is the morning after tomorrow, which is Monday morning, and the location is at the Guardians' base. Some members of the First Team will also be present then."
Cecil said.
Then, Cecil seemed to think of something else and added, "I will have Donald continue to replace you at school. This way, Eden will be attending classes at school, while Black-Clothed Superman will be an examiner at the Global Guardians headquarters! At that time, every hero's eyes will be your perfect alibi."
"Alright."
After some thought, Eden smiled and nodded. He just knew Cecil was a perfect hero.
Cecil could always arrange everything perfectly within his capabilities.
Unfortunately, all the problems this planet would face in the future severely exceeded the capabilities of Cecil and the entire planet.
"Other than that, I have nothing else to report."
Cecil thought for a moment and realized that everything he needed to tell Eden had already been said.
"Oh, right, Cecil."
"Send me a copy of the Knights Order's intelligence."
As Cecil was about to leave, Eden called out to him and said to himself.
"Knights Order?!"
Cecil was stunned. He looked at Eden and asked, "Are you going to make a move on them?"
The Knights Order is the oldest and most powerful underground organization in this world, controlling everything in the underground world. Rashly moving against them would cause immeasurable changes to the world.
In Cecil's personal opinion, the threat from the Knights Order was not great. They had their own set of rules and had silently followed them for hundreds of years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them 'orderly evil'.
In fact, for Cecil personally, these disciplined villains were even more controllable than some overly free heroes.
"Just send me the intelligence."
"I have the rest figured out."
Eden said.
"Okay."
Cecil sighed but still complied.
"Mechanical Head."
Half an hour later, Eden muttered to himself, holding the material in his hand.
Well, no one would have thought that the Berserker Beast, one of the top two combat powers in the universe, would make his first appearance due to a gang fight on Earth.
