[Anthony's POV]
After conducting a brief magical scan over Metropolis, I confirmed that Kara's arrival from another world triggered Doomsday's appearance.
Specifically, Doomsday had previously been dispersed in the Phantom Zone.
Kara's arrival had created a small breach enough for Doomsday to escape.
"I recently fought a god, and now I'm learning about other worlds…"
Clark murmured.
We were currently sitting in a Metropolis café near LuthorCorp in our civilian identities.
"You haven't started having problems with the New Gods like we did… We fought him several times, and eventually, our Clark defeated him."
Kara from the other world shared.
"So, you have a League of Defenders here?"
She glanced at the TV, where news about our interview was being broadcast.
I had restored the part of Metropolis that Doomsday had damaged, and many people had captured this on camera.
"I'm for the Justice League. It sounds better."
Shinoa said as she continued drinking her milkshake.
"And I can't believe that someone with the last name Luthor isn't a villain here."
The older Kara admitted.
"Sorry, I don't mean anything bad… it's just that Lex Luthor was a villain on all the Earths I've been to."
"He's dead here."
I shrugged.
I sometimes wonder if I was lucky to end up in the DC universe instead of Marvel, a world with many telepaths that can mess with your mind, or maybe not because my world is no less dangerous.
On the other hand, DC frequently has situations like this where beings from entirely different Earths show up.
This is why I was often tense at the beginning of my path, but I tried to hide it.
I'm still on guard and don't let anyone close to me see this side of me even now.
DC is a very chaotic world.
Instead of Doomsday, some Superboy-Prime or Batman Who Laughs could appear at any moment, and who knows who else.
Right now, I have the power to fight and even defeat Doomsday, but I wasn't always this confident.
Superboy-Prime is a dangerous enemy with his much denser and more elastic cellular structure than regular Kryptonians, and he isn't limited to absorbing only yellow sunlight.
He can absorb other types of radiation through sheer willpower, but his primary source of strength is still yellow sunlight.
It's also unknown whether Kryptonite from my universe affects him.
I know that kryptonites from other universes either don't work on him or weaken him slightly.
This is the main weakness of all Kryptonians along with red sunlight radiation which also affects him less.
The most bad news part is his immunity to magic.
Superboy-Prime didn't have complete immunity, but even Black Adam couldn't damage him with magic.
Based on this knowledge, I'd rather avoid encountering him right now.
However, I prepare as much as possible and already have some strategies in place... those seals are one of the solutions.
I can seal even an enemy who is stronger if they don't possess immense magical power.
I can even send them to an entirely different universe and hope they don't return quickly.
Additionally, I have some hope in the Nth Metal.
Kryptonians are very troublesome opponents.
Since the day we met, Clark has become twice as strong just by absorbing photons from the sun.
If it weren't for his obvious weaknesses, he would be an unstoppable machine from a physical standpoint.
Even so, Batman can kill him if he wants to and prepares accordingly.
"Do you know how to send her back?"
Clark asked me, evidently hoping for my magic.
"Theoretically, yes. But, I might open a passage for this Gog to come into this world."
I admitted.
"And if he can move Kara across universes, then he has much power."
"That's true… I don't want to involve you in my problems and especially not put you at risk by bringing him here."
The older Kara said resolutely.
"Don't worry, traveling between universes is quite a complicated thing. I'm quite capable of sending you back to the exact moment you were sent away. However, the problem is that this Gog will easily be able to track it. We are not ready for that at the moment."
"So… we just need to wait?"
Kara asked.
"Yes. Give me some time to find mentions of this Gog in our universe and ways to fight him. Then we can send you back without any consequences. In the meantime, you can stay with us."
"I… agree. I have no other choice."
She said, lowering her head and placing her hands on her knees.
"Then, count on my help if needed. After all, I am a hero."
She smiled while wearing ordinary clothes that suited her figure well.
The new Kara didn't dare go to Clark's parents, as she felt strange around them.
In the end, she settled in the upper floors of the LuthorCorp building, next to Diana's apartment.
Diana also started visiting her home island more often, and perhaps she wanted to prove that the "world of men" wasn't as bad as they thought.
She could knock Clark out in two minutes if they were fighting one-on-one right now and in two seconds if she used all of her divine magic.
Clark could also quickly become the strongest person if he spent more time in the sun.
Fortunately, I don't make such a mistake and find time to bathe in the sun, at least for a few hours a day.
It's not very useful right now since my natural resistance already allows me to be near the core of the star.
However, I'm still too weak and haven't progressed much in strength.
Total Power: 5-A (God in terms of destructive power, capable of influencing entire planets like Jupiter or equivalent regions of space)
With magic, Ki, and Aura, I can become much stronger. However, even that still doesn't allow me to become too overconfident.

A.R.G.U.S.
The world is changing for the better or for the worse.
Amanda Waller watched videos over and over of a monster that could fight Superman, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl simultaneously.
It reminded her of the Ghost whose disappearance she had long struggled with.
Fortunately, he had returned, but even so... Amanda felt that she didn't have enough control over him.
These heroes are uncontrollable and monstrously strong.
The destruction of the Metropolis district, so many wounded... and HE appears in the blink of an eye.
An even more unknown threat, and somehow everything is restored, and all the wounded are healed.
They all look up at the figure in the sky with reverence... fools.
The recent interview was like rubbing salt in the wound.
She perfectly understood what all this was done for... to make people trust them more and to see them as "humans".
The government would have its hands tied towards them because if something were to happen, people could revolt... innocent and nothing more.
However, it also worked for their fame, and they wanted to stop the interview as much as they couldn't.
LuthorCorp became the one thing that prevented them from acting.
Attacking them would be... very bad for the USA's reputation, and no one was foolish enough to go against all of them at once.
What's needed here is cunning and a needle capable of striking precisely through all that "armor".
Project Cadmus is showing its full potential, and Supergirl's DNA is magnificent.
Humanity may be weak now, but it won't always be so.
Moreover, the Suicide Squad is already formed for the good of America.

"People love you."
Cortana said, apparently checking comments on various forums.
"They also fear me."
I said and focused on what I was doing.
I have many serums in my laboratories capable of enhancing humans, but all of them are somehow inferior to Platinum Kryptonite.
The OZ Serum may provide good enhancement, longevity, and regeneration, but... Platinum Kryptonite is better.
All substances obtained from Gacha have long been analyzed especially Alduin's scales but this... is still inferior in strength to Ninth Metal.
Even injecting oneself with DNA simply wouldn't work, as I'm not a dragon.
There are many experiments on creating weapons capable of fighting invaders here.
The Iron Legion under Cortana's control, created entirely from Eighth Metal... and also bombs are already inside them so that I can destroy them remotely if someone takes control of them.
"People fear what they don't understand. But even so, there are many of your fans on the internet. Many people are grateful for saving themselves, relatives, and friends. Superman is already praised as a mission as are the others."
Cortana said.
"People tend to make up and exaggerate."
I shrugged.
"Well, sometimes it's even good. Master Luthor, do you like something to drink to satisfy your thirst? Or me? I suggest the latter."
"Cortana..."
I opened a portal next to her office who was right now in sexy clothes and with a phone in her hands.
Considering that I received a notification on my phone, it's not hard to guess what she was doing.
"Someone is very lustful."
I said, devouring the curves of her with my eyes.
"It's you who made me like this... Master Luthor."
She added and came to me through the portal.
"Did you know there are already many fan-made images of you and Supergirl? And, of course, all of them are of an obscene."
"I'm not surprised, but let's focus on something else now..."
"Drilling my holes? Today, all three are ready for everything as always."
She said...
"You made me like this yourself. It's your fault in the first place."
She might have understood something from my face.
"By the way, Miss Talia wished to meet you..."
"Believe me, I'm not disappointed... about Talia, she can wait."
I kissed her and took off her bra to pinch her nipple.
Cortana's wet cave greeted me very well.
Hence, the next few hours were productive for us, and her playful nature manifested itself again.
I'm even glad about it.
She deserves a day off... even if she doesn't really need one.

[3rd POV]
The streets of Gotham frightened newcomers with their gothic atmosphere.
They say it's an irrational fear.
At this moment, there was a usual spectacle in the park, at least nothing outstanding.
There are joyful families dancing to the evening song with hats resting on their heads.
A short figure with a green hat on his head, green clothes, and red hair watched all this with a smile and joy.
A map was attached to the cylinder, which was clearly important to him.
"Wonderful... wonderful! Here is Wonderland! Now all that's left is to find a suitable Alice... the previous one didn't fit."
He smiled even wider.
"Oh, is it what I think it is?"
He leaned slightly and dodged the Batarang.
"My subjects! Protect me! Ah-ha-ha!"
He laughed, and all the people who had just been dancing stood up like puppets and surrounded the Mad Hatter to shield him with their bodies.
"Jervis Tetch, you won't get away with this. Surrender."
A menacing voice echoed from the treetops.
"And what if I don't want to? Don't ruin my story, Batman! Although... you'll be my puppet."
Mad Hatter said, and his hat vibrated.
Batman felt like he had been hit on the head with a sledgehammer, but he managed to hold his ground and not make a sound.
Meanwhile, Robin threw it at him using one of his gadgets.
The Mad Hatter didn't expect the attack and was engulfed in the sticky liquid that solidified literally in a second.
Then, an electric Batarang hit the hat, and all the people wearing hats fell unconscious.
"Oh, you got lucky this time."
A girlish voice sounded, and Batman drew in a breath.
He knew who it was.
"The Night Huntress..."
"Yes, it's me. And Batgirl... this time you beat us to it, but the score is still seventy-five to fifteen in our favor."
She smirked and high-fived the other who stood behind her.
Since when has Gotham not had enough crimes?
