<strong>Chapter 121: Superman meets Superman</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin looked at the man called Lucas Wayne and was surprised at his identity.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, he soon thought that transmigratorse in all shapes and sizes anyway so it shouldn’t be too odd.
<span style="font-weight:400">At least he wasn’t reborn into a slime or something.
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh wait, I think slimes are also popr…
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded then also shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“To say I’m a hero, I suppose that is right in some sense. However, my main job is a police officer.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Police?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Batman frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. I mean, I’m sure you guys experienced being chased by the police once or twice while you guys are doing superhero stuff right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone turned to look at Batman.
<span style="font-weight:400">Batman just grunted.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why are you only looking at me? Green Arrow’s also being chased by SCPD back then.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin shrugged.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway, my real identity was pretty much nothing so I just signed up to be a police officer and I got to use my powers with actual authority and permission.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are the government in your universe like…all nice and stuff? They didn’t manipte you or force you to do things?”
<span style="font-weight:400">The sh asked as they were all aware of how much their government had tried to get in their way in the past or exploit them.
<span style="font-weight:400">There’s even the time when a certain government division put bombs on criminals’ necks and turned them into suicide squads.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, that was simple. I just did to them what they try to do to me whether it’s ckmailing, threats, or simply off-ing them. I had this cool ability where I can know whenever someone talks about me so I pretty much catch them all before they try something.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">What Benjamin said was so simple yet they knew something like this was only possible because of that ability.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not even Lucas had that kind of ability.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas also nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s indeed a handy ability. In my case, I just grew so fast and powerful that the government basically didn’t dare to do anything to me. Even if they did, I can run back in time and fix it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Which you repeatedly told me not to do.”
<span style="font-weight:400">sh sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas just shrugged and rolled his eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">“When you do it, you break everything else. When I do it, I don’t leave as much as a crack in the timeline. Have you forgotten shpoint? If I hadn’t noticed what you were doing, our universe would’ve already been broken beyond notice.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I’ll shut up now.”
<span style="font-weight:400">sh went off to the side to sulk while the others looked confused.
<span style="font-weight:400">Superman asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What shpoint?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Exactly.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas nodded, proving his point further.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin listened to their banter and was also kind of curious about how shpoint happened here but it’s probably best to leave it for another time.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway, should I call out Superman now?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure. Where is he anyway?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“In the Soul Stone.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled at Lucas’ question and showed him the Infinity Crown.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas clicked his tongue at that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Tsk, you already have an Infinity Stone huh? What’s with the crown? Pompous much?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hey, it’s my System who gave it to me in this form, not my idea.”
<span style="font-weight:400">[...]
<span style="font-weight:400">The System was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">In any case, since Lucas and the rest had agreed, Benjamin summoned Superman, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot outside after notifying them mentally.
<span style="font-weight:400">After Superman appeared, he looked around once before settling on a man’s figure who looked like an older version of himself.
<span style="font-weight:400">The older Superman smiled and approached the younger Superman.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We’ve heard everything you’ve been through, Kal-El. Don’t worry, we’ll get you home.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin approached them and introduced them to each other.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Kal-El, this is also Kal-El, or as he is called on Earth, rk Kent. He is your doppelganger from this universe. For convenience’ sake, I’ll call you two as Kal-El and rk Kent.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin turned to look at Lucas who nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas stepped up and turned to rk.
<span style="font-weight:400">“rk, why don’t you show Kal-El around for a while? We should call in Kara and Karen as well. Oh, also Conner.”
<span style="font-weight:400">rk nodded and looked over at Kal-El.
<span style="font-weight:400">Kal-El turned to look at Benjamin who nodded at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine, these people, although they are from a different universe from you, are your family. They won’t hurt you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Kal-El nodded and followed rk outside.
<span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile, Rocket, Groot, and Gamora were looking around and at the other members of the League in amazement.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wow. What’s with all the costumes? Is this a costume party? What is this guy supposed to be? A vampire? And why does this one smell like fish?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Wonder Woman looked at Rocket in surprise and asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is this…a talking roon? Are thesemon in your universe?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh please. How can there be another one as handsome and awesome as me? I’m Rocket! This here is my pal Groot!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am Groot.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Wonder Woman nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am Diana.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am Groot.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah yes. I am Diana.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am Groot.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin coughed and quickly exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Groot can only speak ‘I am Groot’. Don’t mind him.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, I see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Wonder Woman turned to look at Gamora.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora nodded to her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am Gamora.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, is she also-”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m not Groot. I can speak properly.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin looked at their group and felt likeughing.
<span style="font-weight:400">Are they running a skit or something?
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas raised a brow at them and asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I get bringing Kal-El but why’d you bring them?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled wryly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, these two insisted on wanting to see another universe. As for Gamora…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I was asked by his women to prevent him from picking up more women.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Huh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">When did this even happen!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Perhaps knowing what Benjamin was thinking, Gamora answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m also in their group chat.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Why!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Do they really just invite every woman Ie across!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Wonder Woman nodding knowingly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see your Benjamin is also quite a womanizer like our Lucas. I understand. However, your worries are unnecessary since most women here already fell for Lucas.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucas was also speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">What do you mean most women here…you say that as if most of the women in this universe are my lovers!
<span style="font-weight:400">That’s too many even for me!
<span style="font-weight:400">Perhaps sensing something amiss, sh and the others quickly sidestepped outside. Even Rocket and Groot followed them.
<span style="font-weight:400">sh turned to look at Rocket and Groot.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So basically, you guys are here for fun, right? Come with me, I’ll show you our talking swamp.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You guys have a talking swamp!? Let’s go!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am Groot!”
