Chapter 46: The Shocked Duo and Taking Action

Carl had just vaporized a character he deeply disliked, with almost no effort. His heat vision was powerful enough to melt or evaporate nearly anything. Let alone someone like him. Even someone on the level of Apollogeist wouldn't have stood a chance. As for why Narutaki had suddenly lost the ability to use the dimensional barrier Of course, that was Carl's doing. Ever since Carl had acquired the power to traverse dimensions, he discovered something else: Not only could he travel across worlds... He could also manipulate space itself. Just now The moment he sensed a fluctuation in space, he knew Narutaki was about to run. So he locked down the area, sealing the space so Narutaki couldn't escape. It wasn't even difficult. On the side Having witnessed Carl's red laser beam shoot from his eyes and kill Narutaki on the spot, both Hokama Yukio and Yusuke stood frozen, eyes wide in disbelief. After all, they'd encountered that mysterious man, Narutaki, many times before. Especially Hokama Yukio, he was particularly stunned. Narutaki had constantly spread rumors across different worlds, calling him the "destroyer of worlds" and repeatedly getting in his way. Of course he was fed up with him. Hokama Yukio had tried more than once to attack Narutaki But every time, Narutaki would escape using his dimensional barrier before the fight even began. He was just too slippery. But now This same Narutaki, the man who could travel across dimensions, had died, just like that? Of course Hokama Yukio was shocked. And yet That wasn't even the most shocking part. What stunned both him and Yusuke even more was how Carl had done it. 『Hokama Yukio』: Are you... really Superman? 『Carl』: You could say that. But just call me Carl. 『Carl』: Let's talk later. Right now, saving her comes first. The moment he said that, both Hokama Yukio and Yusuke were snapped back to reality. Yes, Natsumi Tachibana was still gravely injured! Yusuke immediately stepped forward and gave Carl a deep bow. 『Yusuke』: Superman, Mr. Carl, please save Natsumi. I beg you! 『Carl』: Don't worry. I'll save her. With that, he began scanning the area, looking for Apollogeist. A moment later, he vanished. 『Yusuke』: M-Mr. Carl? Yusuke looked around, confused. Where did he go? After searching the room and confirming Carl was really gone, he turned to Hokama Yukio. His voice trembled slightly with excitement. 『Yusuke』: Tsukasa, how do you even know Superman? 『Hokama Yukio』: Uh... we met by chance. In truth, even he hadn't known the God Among Men from the group was actually Superman. No wonder he was so ridiculously strong. But... Everyone in the chat group said this guy could travel through time, and even resurrect people. Wait, can Superman even do that? Maybe the Superman from comics and films was different from the real one? Hokama Yukio wasn't exactly an expert on Superman, so he could only guess. Seeing Yusuke so worked up He decided not to mention that he hadn't realized Carl's true identity either. That kind of confession would just ruin the cool image. Still, Hokama Yukio couldn't help but feel puzzled Hadn't Superman accepted the task to revive Natsumi? Then where did he go? Meanwhile, Yusuke, having calmed down from his initial excitement, looked at Hokama Yukio curiously. 『Yusuke』: Tsukasa, where did Superman go? What's he doing now? To Yusuke, it was clear: Carl and Hokama Yukio seemed to know each other. Carl had even addressed him directly. They had to be friends, right? Wow, Tsukasa is amazing. He even has Superman as a friend. 『Hokama Yukio』: Uh, he's... Carl had accepted the mission, so there was no doubt he'd save Natsumi. Besides In the group chat, Hokama Yukio had heard others say Carl once used time travel to revive someone. So maybe... He's using the same method right now? With that thought in mind, Hokama Yukio cleared his throat. 『Hokama Yukio』: Superman's here to help save Natsumi. 『Hokama Yukio』: Right now, he's probably traveled back in time to when we first encountered Apollogeist. 『Hokama Yukio』: He's likely defeating the enemy there, before things went wrong. 『Yusuke』: Whoa, seriously? 『Yusuke』: He can even time travel? That's incredible! 『Yusuke』: You're amazing too, Tsukasa. You actually know someone like that! Hokama Yukio chuckled and tried to act nonchalant. 『Hokama Yukio』: He's alright, I guess. Just then Several figures suddenly appeared in the hospital room. Two of them were tossed to the ground like garbage. 『Yusuke』: What the heck?! Startled, Hokama Yukio and Yusuke took defensive stances Alert and ready for anything. Yusuke even instinctively recalled his identity as Kuuga. He moved into position, ready to transform. A moment later, they got a good look at the newcomers. Lying near the hospital bed were two unconscious figures Apollogeist and a Gijinka Demon. Enemies. 『Yusuke』: Transform! Without hesitation, he transformed into Kuuga. Earlier, during their battle with Apollogeist Hokama Yukio's belt had been knocked away. After Natsumi got injured, he'd rushed her to the hospital and forgotten to retrieve it. Now he had no choice but to fall back. 『Carl』: What are you two doing? A calm voice cut through the tension. They turned their heads And saw Carl, now back and wearing a black battle suit, standing not far away. 『Yusuke』: Carl-kun? 『Hokama Yukio』: Mr. Superman? Both of them looked at him in surprise. Carl, noticing their defensive stances, tilted his head slightly. Just now He had used his super vision to locate Apollogeist, who was still wandering the streets. Carl had flown straight to his location. But rather than defeating Apollogeist before he could transform, or killing him outright He'd waited until Apollogeist had transformed, then snatched the dual-energy mirror right off his helmet. Then he'd teleported both Apollogeist and the Gijinka Demon back to the hospital. Still... What are Tsukasa and Yusuke doing? Seeing Carl, both Hokama Yukio and Yusuke visibly relaxed. Yusuke even canceled his transformation. Hokama Yukio walked up to Carl cautiously. Still eyeing the two figures on the ground warily, he asked, 『Hokama Yukio』: Carl-kun, what's going on here? 『Hokama Yukio』: What are you planning to do with them? 『Yusuke』: Did they faint or something? Carl gave them a matter-of-fact glance. 『Carl』: Nothing special. I'm just here to save someone. As he spoke, he tossed something to Hokama Yukio. It was the dual-energy mirror. Hokama Yukio didn't see clearly what Carl had thrown, but caught it instinctively. 『Hokama Yukio』: Save someone? 『Hokama Yukio』: Carl-kun, weren't you time-traveling to save Natsumi? 『Carl』: Time travel? Carl gave him a slightly amused look. End of chapter... To be continued.... Hey Everyone!
