Allen sat on his couch with Amanda resting on his lap, while Anissa stood behind him, listening. When she found out that Nolan had had a child with a human and that the child had powers, she was surprised. It seemed that their race was not lost, and she sighed with relief.
Of course, she could renounce the Viltrumite Empire, but she couldn't renounce being a Viltrumite. A person could change nations, but not stop being human.
Anissa hugged Allen from behind and whispered in his ear. She, too, would do her best to ensure her race continued to exist...
"Cecil, do you think traveling through space is like visiting a supermarket?" Allen mocked. "I have no idea where Invincible went..."
"From what I understood, he went to Thraxa..." Cecil calmed down. He had assumed that Allen could go anywhere in the universe, but considering that just in the Milky Way alone, there are approximately nine hundred billion planets, and there are two trillion observable galaxies, who knows how many more there are. Finding that planet seemed impossible, so Allen wasn't lying about not being able to track Mark.
But what he didn't tell Cecil was that even if he could track him, he wouldn't, because he knew Mark had gone to see his father, who had become the king of Thraxa, got another wife, and now had a new son. This story held little interest for Allen.
MJ – Well, it seems Invincible finally got his little purple brother...
Kara – Didn't MJ say that in that place, they were attacked by Viltrumites who were looking for Nolan?
MJ – Yes, but they were specifically Thula, Lucan, and Vidor...
Yoruichi – Hehe, well, I guess they won't be able to do it this time.
Asia – Life on other planets... I wonder if that happens in our world?
Rias – Asia-chan, you're from our world, right?
Asia – Yes.
Rias – Well, it's possible that it really hasn't happened, considering our world was founded with the Earth as the core, with gods and demons as the epicenter...
[I.M] "Who knows, unlike many science fiction stories where the universe feels compact, the reality is that a single galaxy is so massive it seems unreal."
Allen smiled sarcastically, "I know you want to keep him on a leash after Nolan's betrayal, but that will only make him distrust you. He's not a child. If he makes decisions, and those decisions have consequences, it's something he has to accept."
...
(A while later, Thraxa)
Allen's words were like a curse because just at that moment, Omni-Man and Mark had serious faces as they watched three Viltrumites descend from the sky, one of them being the second-in-command of the empire.
"Nolan has been away for a while..."
"General Kregg..."
"Nolan, you should be executed immediately, but our Regent wants to see you in person..."
"And what if I refuse?"
"I'll kill your son and destroy this planet..." The general looked at Mark, sending chills down his spine. "Nolan, your sins can wait. Thragg needs to ask you about that human..."
"What about the boy?"
"Boy? That boy killed Thula, Vidor, and Lucan, and apparently seduced Anissa to make her betray us." Kregg's eyes narrowed, "For the first time in our long history, we have an enemy... and if you help us, not only will we forgive your sins, but you'll receive a higher position..."
Nolan remained silent for a minute, and Kregg began to grow impatient.
"Dad?" Mark, who had already prepared to fight, noticed his father's silence as he watched in disbelief.
"..."
Mark gritted his teeth, "You're not considering something like that, are you? All that stuff you said about feeling lost... all that crap about me and mom being important, you asked me to take care of your son with another woman!"
At that moment Nolan turned around with a cold, emotionless expression as he punched a hole in Mark's stomach with his fist.
"Argh!"
"I'm sorry, son, but viltrumites don't give second chances. I can't waste this opportunity.
"L-lie..." Mark, spitting blood, reached out his hand to touch his father's face with blood-stained fingers.
Nolan's gaze remained cold. "I'm sorry... in time, you will understand...".
Mark fell to the ground, bleeding out, as Nolan stood up next to General Kregg, leaving his children and wife for the second time.
General Kregg nodded, and the four flew into space, where a spacecraft was parked....
"..." Nolan looked back at Thraxa one last time before leaving that second home behind.
Kregg knew what Nolan had given up for the empire, so he didn't judge him for procreating with an insectoid race. "You did the right thing, Nolan; the empire needs your help; this time, it's not a conquest of a weaker race; it's a war against humanity!".
