Superman's Saiyan little brother

Tohru knew that if Robert and the Shadow Devourer Soldier kept fighting, regardless of whether the soldier could defeat Robert, Tohru himself would not last. If Tohru died first and the Shadow Mask shattered, even if the Shadow Devourer Soldier didn't lose to Robert, the battle would be over.

Seizing this opportunity, Tohru decided to flee. Whether the Shadow Devourer Soldier would continue to fight Robert was something Tohru hadn't yet decided.

Watching the current battle, Tohru felt a bit scared. The Shadow Devourer Soldier's power far exceeded his expectations, but it still hadn't defeated Robert. Outside, Clark and the others were also eyeing him closely. One Shadow Devourer Soldier certainly couldn't fight them all.

Just as Tohru was escaping, thinking about when to recall the Shadow Devourer Soldier and whether he could summon a second one, an invisible force enveloped everything around him.

"Thought I wouldn't need to step in, but here we are..." A figure emerged from a fiery portal—Ancient One. She nodded at Clark and then looked at the battle between Robert and the Shadow Devourer Soldier, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

Initially, as long as Robert's psychic barrier was intact, the Ancient One didn't need to worry about their fight damaging the Earth. The barrier kept the destruction contained. Especially since Robert had also set up a barrier underground.

But now, the barrier was shattered, and the fight showed no signs of ending. Continuing the battle would be catastrophic for the Earth.

At this point, Robert and the Shadow Devourer Soldier's battle was at a god-like intensity. Without protection, the Earth was in imminent danger!

So, the Ancient One intervened without hesitation. Clark, though powerful, didn't have protective abilities. If he fought, he'd either kill the Shadow Devourer Soldier outright or destroy the Earth.

As for unintentionally trapping Tohru in the Mirror Dimension, the Ancient One didn't mind. She wouldn't go out of her way to let Tohru out. Unaware he was in the Mirror Dimension, Tohru kept fleeing desperately.

"Who's this girl? Shouldn't we stop that Tohru?" Tony Stark, also in the Mirror Dimension, hadn't noticed the change. Seeing Tohru escape while Robert and Clark remained unfazed, Tony hesitated, sending his suit to follow Tohru while questioning Clark.

"No need. We're not on Earth anymore. Earth has more protectors than just us. This is an ancient protector, a sorcerer. She moved us to a magical space. Tohru can't escape from here, so let him hide for now…" Clark said calmly.

"A magical space? Jarvis?" Tony Stark was momentarily stunned, calling for Jarvis. Jarvis, who hadn't shown any anomalies since entering the Mirror Dimension, quickly responded.

"I'm here, sir…" Jarvis's voice had a hint of apology. "Sorry, sir, I didn't notice the change. This space is identical to Earth, a perfect replica. Without Superman's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed, and I haven't connected to the external network to identify the issue."

After Tony Stark was trapped in a dark space by Morbius, losing Jarvis's assistance, he improved Jarvis's real-time processing ability. Even without a network, Jarvis could still control the suit, syncing data once reconnected.

For normal people, this might cause memory confusion, but for Jarvis, it was just data, not an issue—more like a minor update.

"Extraordinary powers from the mystical side…" Tony Stark muttered, feeling a bit emotional about the situation.

Boom! Just as Tony finished speaking, a deafening explosion sounded, followed by a terrifying wave of pressure. Despite his suit, Tony felt system malfunctions and was flung backward uncontrollably.

Not only Tony, but Steve Rogers and Barry Allen, among others, experienced the same. However, Clark's parents and Kara, standing close to Clark, weren't affected, remaining in place to watch.

The Ancient One, floating and observing from above, also remained unaffected. Seeing Tony and the others' plight, she waved her hand, altering the environment to allow them a better view of the fight.

Only then did Tony and the others realize this Mirror Dimension was entirely different from the outside world. It seemed the entire setup was under the Ancient One's magical control.

"Magical powers are indeed impressive, but the destructive power of physical strength is also terrifying!" Tony Stark, after a moment of silence, focused back on the battle above, speechless about the strange space's structure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the ground, Robert and the Shadow Devourer Soldier's fight continued unaffected by the environment. The Shadow Devourer Soldier, mindless, fought on, seeking revenge for Tohru, while Robert, aware of the surroundings, was unfazed as long as the battle remained uninterrupted.

As the fight progressed, Robert's battle spirit intensified, and his power grew stronger. The Shadow Devourer Soldier, however, remained at peak strength, no matter how many times Robert punched through its body.

In this battle, Robert wasn't unscathed; his blood stained the surroundings. The Shadow Devourer Soldier, not a normal life form, didn't bleed like a human, akin to Majin Buu—its body regenerated without blood loss.

This type of opponent continually fueled Robert's desire to fight. The landscape around them, from mountains to deserts to oceans, was repeatedly destroyed and restored by the Ancient One.

Only the ocean remained relatively unaffected, as the Shadow Devourer Soldier wasn't suited for underwater combat. Unable to fly, it instinctively shrank into a shadow in the ocean, forcing Robert to kick it away and continue fighting on land, ignoring the distant waves.

If this were the real Earth, such a battle would make the catastrophic events of 2012 seem tame. The ensuing tsunamis would destroy human civilization.

Fortunately, they were in the Mirror Dimension. Robert marveled at its utility, wishing to learn this skill himself. It would allow unrestricted training and fighting.

But Robert reconsidered. If he created a Mirror Dimension, it would be similar to his psychic barrier, draining his energy. Having the Ancient One do it was preferable.

In battle, Robert's power reached new heights, surpassing the Shadow Devourer Soldier. Even without using ki blasts, just his physical strength overpowered the soldier.

Bang! With his newfound strength, Robert's punch not only shattered the Shadow Devourer Soldier's body but caused the shadow form to tremble, showing signs of dispersing. Clearly, Robert had hit its core. The Shadow Devourer Soldier was near death.

Meanwhile, Tohru, initially unaware of the Mirror Dimension, fled to what he thought was a bustling city, only to find it empty. Startled, he left quickly, becoming more anxious as every familiar city he visited was deserted, like a ghost town.

"No! I need to get out of here. No, I should hide first!" Tohru, terrified, tried to create a dark space to hide in but found his dark powers unable to form a space, wandering aimlessly instead.

"How is this possible?!" Tohru, more panicked than ever, didn't understand why his abilities were restricted. Looking around, he sensed something and his expression changed.

He hadn't sensed the anomaly of the space but felt the Shadow Devourer Soldier struggling. If the soldier couldn't hold on, Robert would come for him next.

Without the protection of a dark space, Tohru couldn't hide from Robert. He didn't understand how Robert restricted his powers and made everyone disappear, but he no longer wanted to fight Robert.

Even the most evolved Shadow Devourer Soldier wasn't Robert's match. What could Tohru do?

"What should I do? Hide or face the Saiyan and surrender? If I surrender, will the Saiyan spare me? Can I still create a stronger Shadow Devourer Soldier by devouring more shadows?" Tohru's thoughts swirled, but before he could decide, his Shadow Mask trembled, making his heart skip a beat.

The Shadow Devourer Soldier was dead, killed by Robert without using ki blasts. With his newfound strength, Robert destroyed the soldier with a single punch, mixed with ki.

Nodding at the Ancient One, Robert vanished, having sensed Tohru's location. It was time to end Tohru's reign and the global shadow incident.
