reincarnated in the DC universe with the ultimate system

As Cross adjusted to his new life in the vibrant yet chaotic DC Universe, he quickly realized that his universal system granted him immense abilities. Each task he completed, whether it was aiding a citizen in distress or battling a minor villain, led to experience points that he could use to enhance his powers.

One day, while exploring Gotham City, Cross stumbled upon a situation that would test his new skills to their limits. A mysterious force was causing chaos in the heart of the city, with strange portals opening and releasing creatures from other dimensions. He could see the Bat-Signal lighting up the night sky, calling for help.

Cross felt a surge of determination. "This is my chance to prove my worth!" He activated his system interface, which displayed several options on a holographic screen.

**Quest: Close the Dimensional Portals**

- Objective: Shut down the rifts causing chaos in Gotham.

- Reward: Experience Points, New Skills.

He accepted the quest, and with a thought, he activated his newly acquired power—**Dimensional Manipulation**. With a wave of his hand, he created a shield that absorbed the energy from one of the portals, causing it to flicker and close.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness—the notorious villain, **Killer Croc**. Croc charged at Cross, ready to attack. However, using his system's **Enhanced Reflexes** skill, Cross dodged effortlessly, countering with a quick strike of energy that knocked Croc off balance.

"Who are you?" Croc growled, looking up in confusion as he struggled to regain his footing.

"Just a guy trying to keep Gotham safe," Cross replied, a determined smile on his face.

Realizing he needed assistance, Cross reached out to Batman through his system's communication feature. "I'm dealing with multiple portals in Gotham; I could use your expertise!"

Within moments, Batman arrived, assessing the situation with his usual intensity. "We need to work together. These portals are linked to a greater threat—possibly even Darkseid."

Cross nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. With Batman's combat skills and his own powers, they formulated a plan to eliminate the remaining portals and confront the looming threat.

As they worked together, Cross felt a strange yet exhilarating bond forming with the legendary hero. His heart raced—this was not just a fight for survival, but a chance to become a part of something much bigger.

With each portal they closed, Cross gained more experience points, unlocking the next tier of abilities. Just when he thought they had it under control, a final, massive portal opened above Gotham, and from it spilled forth an army of parademons.

"Looks like we're not done yet!" Batman shouted, and Cross grinned, ready to face whatever came next.
