The dark gold suit receded, revealing a black coat and shirt underneath, also predominantly black, with golden chains wrapped around it.
Jordan straightened his collar and decided to wash and dry the dimensional suit, then have F-boy store it away along with the God of War baseball cap.
When it came to the concentration of anime and manga elements, this new created super suit was definitely among the top.
The outfit looked great when paired with the God of War baseball cap. Without revealing one's identity, even familiar people would have a hard time recognizing the person.
There were times when Jordan needed to hide his identity or change his alias, and keeping a backup account would always come in handy.
No-man's land, Saitama's home.
"Saitama, I'm back!"
Jordan landed on the balcony, but no one answered from inside the room.
"How long has it been? Why isn't he home?"
When you travel to another world, no matter how much time has passed, it is only a moment compared to the main world.
It was like he'd opened a portal in one place to escape, then walked out of another portal the next second.
Having grown accustomed to the world's oppression, extremism, and perversion, Jordan was quite unsettled upon returning to the peaceful and tranquil Z-City.
He'd thought Saitama probably hadn't finished his breakfast yet, but was surprised to find that the whole breakfast on the table had been devoured in just one trip outside.
After having eaten his fill, Saitama had disappeared somewhere, most likely engaged in his daily, uninterrupted training.
Since that was the case, Jordan unceremoniously took over the bathroom and took a good shower.
F-boy took the discarded the supersuit from behind him and skillfully took it to the balcony to retrieve soap and a washboard.
It's time for the Housekeeping Stand!
A short while later, Jordan emerged from the bathroom with a bath towel draped around his waist, a few glistening water droplets still clinging to his massive pectoral muscles.
The dark aura from another world and the lingering smell of blood were all washed away. He felt much refreshed.
Just like ordinary people needed to adjust to different time zones when flying across Earth, Jordan naturally needed to adjust to different time zones after returning from another world.
The main theme of the world of The Boys was darkness, with a dark sky and sinister malice brewing at any moment.
The world of One-Punch Man was, in some ways, more dangerous, but the sunlight in the sky would always be as carefree and relaxed as it was now.
What? What if it's cloudy and rainy?
Call in Jordan or Saitama, and they can blast the rain clouds apart with one punch, and that will be the end of it.
F-boy poured him a glass of chilled orange juice. Jordan settled comfortably on the deck chair on the balcony.
After getting to know him for a while, he'd realized that apart from being broke, Saitama lived a life like a god.
Bringing his thoughts back, Jordan routinely took stock of his gains in the Boys world.
The key to this success was quality, not quantity. Putting everything else aside, he'd gotten three SSR cards.
The three SSR cards were: Homelander's superpowers after fusion, Stormfront's character card, and a character card made from Homelander's soul.
The fused Homelander superpowers had become part of Jordan's power, so there wasn't much to say about that.
The character card dropped by Stormfront was quite strong. Even in the One-Punch Man universe, it would be considered a standard S-class character.
The last remaining SSR card was the Homelander character card.
[Homelander (SSR): Character Card (Evil Hero)]
From the Boys world, the strongest superhuman created by Compound V experiment, a low-end version of Superman.
Effects are omitted (same as "Evil Superman (Homelander)").
Homelander was indeed a good comrade. He'd donated his superpowers, which he didn't need himself, to those who needed them.
Jordan already possessed all of Homelander's superpowers. Even if he equipped his character card, it was just a matter of adding up the basic stats.
For example, even if Homelander's "super strength" was stacked, the multiplier for actual strength remained constant. It would not produce a qualitative change like "Homelander + Homelander = Superman."
To be honest, Jordan didn't really think much of Homelander's basic attributes right now.
Upon arriving in the Boys world, Homelander was constantly being chased and beaten by him. This was the difference between a potion user and a pure cheat... no, a pure hard worker.
Visible to the naked eye.
The current Jordan had basically moved beyond the initial stage of simply stacking numbers.
To grow from the star-buster level to the star-burst level, simply increasing combat power by tens of thousands was definitely not enough.
It had to be at least a takeoff-like upgrade from Super Earthling to Super Saiyan.
Of course, Jordan didn't value Homelander's power, but it would be different if it were someone else.
If an ordinary person could possess the power of Homelander, even if they knew nothing about combat, they could at least go toe-to-toe with Boros in the first stage, making them a god-level fighter.
However, this power was not something that just anyone could control.
Without strong mental fortitude, one would only gradually become a slave to power after achieving instant success.
Homelander itself was a bloody example.
If Homelander could hop dimension, he'd probably mutate into a god-level disaster the moment he landed.
"The weirdo, King Homelander."
Therefore, how to use this character card must be carefully considered.
Speaking of candidates, Jordan did have a few suitable ones in mind.
Even knowing they were no match, those who still had the courage to stand up and face the monster to protect the people were heroes.
Just like Saitama when he first became a trainee, these heroes, despite their own weakness, naturally possessed the responsibility required to bear great power.
However, it was best to let things happen naturally, like giving roses and having the fragrance linger on your hands.
Jordan decided to save it for the next recruitment drive for the hot pot team.
Z-City, Hero Association Branch.
"Super Cop, Team Leader Lanny has gone out on a field mission and should be back soon."
When Jordan arrived, the reception staff in the lobby quickly recognized him. A chestnut-haired young lady in a suit hurried over to greet him.
"You may need to wait a moment in the reception room. Please come with me."
"That would be troublesome."
Jordan followed the woman in the suit to a luxuriously decorated meeting room reserved for professional heroes and casually asked, "Could I ask what mission Lanny is on?"
"As far as I know, Team Leader Lanny was ordered to go to the city center area to meet with the patrolling heroes and retrieve the monster's corpse. There is no danger involved."
Before long, the young lady in the suit brought tea and snacks and placed them in front of Jordan.
"Here is your black tea and snacks. Please enjoy."
"Thanks for the hospitality."
The young lady smiled sweetly, bowed respectfully as she carried the tray and took her leave, her fitted suit accentuating her swaying, graceful curves.
