Villain Retirement
chapter-283

It wasn't just happening in the floating city of Toronto– the black holes have opened up all over the world. And with each black hole, creatures started to emerge, all bearing the same words.

Surrender.

Suffice to say, everyone forgot about the atrocity that the government did and just focused on the current problem at hand– Earth is being invaded.

Some people on the internet were saying that it was fake. Some say the government is doing it to cover up for their mistakes. Some say it might just be some sort of super.

But as soon as the militaries all around the world started to move, everyone realized that it was serious. Reginald Champ, the newly appointed acting leader of the World Government, was the one to advise each of the countries' leaders to send out their military. Although her appointment was sudden due to the previous one just taking his life less than an hour ago, the others still heeded her advice; after all, even without her, the leaders of the world would still send out their military to deal with an extraterrestrial threat.

As for the normal civilians, they were quick to hide in their bunkers and nearest public shelters. Bunkers and shelters that were meant to be a safe place from villain attacks, now being used as a refuge for another sudden and unexpected threat.

"Is… is it true, are we really being attacked by aliens?"

"Don't believe them, aliens aren't real."

"...Are you stupid?"

In a certain shelter somewhere, people were still busy trying to find out what was really going on outside– some of them were already on their way to hide since some supers were starting to get agitated, but now they found themselves sharing a space with the supers that threatened to hurt them.

"Do something!" One of the normal citizens screamed as she gestured towards a super, "Weren't you just saying only supers have the right to rule!? Go outside and help the heroes and military!"

"I… I don't owe any of you anything! Don't push me!"

Suffice to say, the tension that was screaming in the air was high– almost to the point that in just one wrong move, this shelter for safety would also become vulnerable on the inside.

"E… Everyone, please– stop fighting!" And suddenly, with a burst of wind gently pushing everyone back, all the noise stopped. They all turned towards the center of the gale, only to see a pair of overly sized bosoms– only to see a blessed young woman standing there; her eyes, covered by a pair of purple goggles.

"Isn't that… one of the new heroes from the Academy?"

"Please, this is not the time to fight!" The female super waved her hands, causing her… hair that was tied in a ponytail to flow with her body,

"And please… don't force people to fight," she then said.

"That's right!" The other civilian supers that were inside hollered.

"It's not their fault that they are weak cowards!" The female super continued; her words, quickly shutting up the civilian supers, "So please, just– I think the best all of us can do now is to calm each other down!"

Some still wanted to say some things, but seeing the female super in front of them passionately waving around they decided to just shut their mouths; mostly the men.

And after a few more minutes, the female super's words seemed to have been taken to account by everyone, as they just went on doing their own things; either watching the news, praying, resting, or crying.

"..." The female super then scanned them for a few seconds, before letting out a sigh and propelling herself to the air, flying over the people and landing at the shelter's entrance.

"Baby Crew," the female super then pressed something in her ear as she left the shelter, "This is Hurricane Katrina, I am currently in the Brampton shelter– Am I the one nearest to Toronto? Is it true, are we really being invaded by aliens?"

[I'm on my way to Toronto as well. Me and my brother need to talk about his life decisions,] Hannah was the very first voice to respond, [Fuck… I don't know what's going on anymore. It's probably just some government ploy.]

"Should… I provide backup for you in Toronto?" Katrina whispered as she looked around outside the shelter.

[Nah, you guys focus on keeping the people safe,] Hannah said.

[We're getting invaded.]

"Monarch?"

[It's true, a portal popped up here in New York,] Gary's voice was filled with breath,

[A fucking portal! Like in 'Reincarnated as Both God and the Devil', and 'My Hermes System'! Can you guys fucking believe it!?]

"I… I see," Katrina almost pulled her head away from her earpiece from Gary's loud voice. She was about to fly away, but before she could so, something caught her eye,

"Uhmm… guys," she then said, "Those aliens…

…are they blue?"

***

"My guests… would love you, alien."

Back in the floating city of Toronto, the very first alien spotted on camera was now floating in the air– its movements, as frozen as the rest of the beings in the city.

"What… is this?" The blue-skinned alien tried to struggle away, but the only thing it could move was his head; its three eyes, moving in different directions,

"Are you doing this, Earth-dweller?" The alien did not really wait for Riley's answer, as it once again talked in what Riley could only assume to be its native tongue. And soon, another black hole opened up, tearing the space right beside Riley.

"..." Riley turned to face this void, and as soon as he did so, something brushed past his face– the blade of what looked like a black spear.

"Hm…" Riley then let out a breath, letting the first alien go as its horse dropped to the ground; causing the alien to expertly roll across the cracked pavements and recover just as fast.

Riley then floated back, allowing the one emerging from the new hole to step out. And this time, the alien that stepped out was not riding a 6-legged horse; but instead just walking out casually– wearing some sort of black and bulky armor, only showing his head.

"..." Riley then looked back and forth between the two aliens, before letting out a small breath and nodding, "A scout, followed by a warrior. Quite rudimentary for an advanced race."

"Your defender is gone." And just like the words of the alien before, the newly arrived alien also said the same thing, "Surrender peacefully… or we will respond in force."

"Defender… Do you mean Megawoman?" Riley tilted his head.

"..." The alien only looked down at Riley for a few seconds, before pointing his large spear toward him.

"Of course," a smile once again appeared on Riley's face, "Even out there, Megawoman is strong. But the question now is…

…how strong are you compared to her?"

"Surrender peace–"

"Krr!"

And before the newly arrived alien could finish his words, a light snap entered his ears; followed by a scream.

"Peace?" Riley then once again ascended above ground… and beside him, the scout alien– its three eyes, now floating out of their sockets, "If you wanted peace…

…then you should have visited when Megawoman was awake."
