As it turned out,
After the failed sneak attack on Nathan by the Four Emperors, and his subsequent escape from the Divine Realm, they received an order from Nathan to surrender.
They were both shocked and angry, feeling that they could no longer continue in this manner.
Nathan will surely come after us once he recovers from his injuries! We can't just sit back and wait like sitting ducks! We have to do something!
And so, after carefully examining Nathan's information, the four of them finally discovered Nathan's fatal weakness.
Because earthlings placed great importance on sentiment, family, and blood ties, Nathan's wife, children, family, and friends were all his weaknesses.
If they could reach Earth and capture all of Nathan's relatives and friends, they could use those people to threaten him.
Even if they couldn't force Nathan to give up the throne of the God King, at the very least, they could make him hesitate to act recklessly against them.
With that in mind, the Four Emperors teamed up, stealthily setting off toward Earth, preparing to secretly kidnap Nathan's family.
A month later, the God's Punisher Spaceship had reached Earth.
Those on Earth had received word that Nathan would return.
Each country sent out their respective War Gods as representatives to Earth Alliance Headquarters, located in Channing, the South of Eurasia, to welcome the return of Nathan.
Martial law had already been imposed in Channing before Nathan even appeared.
A large number of troops were stationed on the streets to maintain order.
There was a crowd gathered on the square of Earth Alliance Headquarters. War gods from various countries, political dignitaries, and countless journalists were all eagerly waiting, anxiously anticipating the appearance of Nathan.
The ruler of Eurasia, Fang, also led his people to the scene.
Nathan's family could be seen not far away.
Penny was holding a little boy, leading a girl by the hand, with Benson, Leah, Kylie, and others standing beside her.
Everyone was anxiously watching the sky, waiting for Nathan to return.
“He's arrived!”
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Upon looking up, a tiny black dot was spotted against the deep blue sky.
Beside Penny, her daughter Queenie exclaimed excitedly, “Look, it's Dad!”
“Dad?!”
In the arms of Penny, her son Jerrick, with his wide and bright eyes, was admiringly gazing at the towering figure of a man in the distance.
From the moment he was born, up until now when he had gradually learned to speak, he had barely met his father at all.
He was reaching a point where, without looking at his parents' picture, he could barely remember what his father looked like.
At that moment, as he gazed at the man in the distance who was the center of everyone's attention, his little face couldn't help but flush with excitement. “Mom, is that Dad? Dad's back, isn't he? Dad looks so impressive!”
Penny gazed at the long-lost figure in the distance, her nose suddenly tingling. She reached up to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, and proudly declared, “Yes, that's your father. He is the most formidable man in the world!”
Nathan shook hands with leaders like Fang, before eventually arriving in front of Penny and his family.
He looked at his wife, who appeared somewhat haggard.
Nathan was filled with guilt, softly saying, “Penny, you must've had a rough time while I was away.”
Penny set down the child, and with a swift motion, embraced her husband. Choking back tears of joy, she said, “It wasn't hard. As long as you're back, everything is fine.”
