355. The Open Plot – Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf.

"Cough... Al... Alex, you... cough..."

Amidst the ruins on the plains, Kara struggled to stand, looking at Alex, who was supporting her. She tried to speak but was too severely injured—each attempt sent a burning pain through her chest.

"Don't talk; just relax."

Alex raised his hand, casting two healing spells as he looked at the bloodied Kara with concern.

At this moment, Kara looked nothing like her usual heroic self. Fighting Darkseid was far tougher than facing General Zod; each of Darkseid's punches had the intent to kill. Though their fight hadn't lasted long, every blow Darkseid landed had struck Kara's head directly. Had it not been for her Kryptonian resilience, Kara wouldn't have survived even one hit.

"I... I can still fight," Kara said resolutely, wiping the blood from her face as she stood.

"It's not necessary, Kara. Leave the rest to me. You've already done more than enough."

Alex wasn't just flattering Kara. Darkseid's full-force assault—two punches and a headbutt, all aimed at her face—would have left even Superman dazed.

"No, I can't leave you here alone."

Kara looked at the aftermath of the battle that had already destroyed two hills, filled with worry.

The fight between Darkseid and Trigon had become a life-or-death struggle. One wanted to kill and assimilate the other into Apokolips, while the other simply wanted to end the fight and escape. Both were among the most powerful beings in the universe, and the intensity of their battle was reshaping the landscape itself.

And Alex was just a wizard. While magic was powerful, his physical resilience was no different from an ordinary person. Kara was truly concerned that Alex, now nearly drained, might be caught in the battle's crossfire.

"Don't worry. I'm not alone, and this is just the final stage. You staying here won't help, especially with how hurt you are. You should rest."

Alex patted Kara's head and used his remaining magic to cast a final healing spell, stabilizing her injuries.

"But..."

Kara wanted to say more.

"Trust me. Believe in me, alright?"

Knowing that Kara was worried, Alex softened his tone.

Realizing she couldn't change his mind, Kara fell silent. After everything they had been through, she trusted Alex to keep himself safe.

"...Please, be careful."

"Don't worry."

Alex smiled and nodded, then, in his mind, called out to Miss Minutes.

"Open a portal and send her away."

[Acknowledged. Consuming power...]

As soon as Miss Minutes responded, a rectangular purple barrier opened behind Kara.

Meanwhile, Darkseid, on the ground blocking Trigon's attacks and looking for an opportunity to counter with Omega Beams, also saw the terrifyingly huge figure slowly emerging from the rift.

The immense pressure was overwhelming. Both Trigon and Darkseid halted their movements, feeling a sudden lack of desire to continue fighting.

"What the hell is that thing?"

Darkseid stared with blood-red eyes, his confusion momentarily overtaking his shock.

Trigon's expression was equally grim; it had noticed that its escape route back to the Wasteland was blocked by this monstrous entity, and the sight of the all-encompassing interstellar fleet had left it feeling hopeless.

At the same time, it felt a bit relieved—at least it hadn't made a break for it immediately, or it would've charged straight into the face of that creature.

"I'd guess this is the backer that damned dimensional lord was relying on."

Hearing Trigon's words, Darkseid turned slightly.

"Wasn't it supposed to be you?"

Trigon's blood pressure instantly spiked as it glared at Darkseid, grinding its teeth.

"I only made a deal with him—that damned guy tricked me!"

"..."

Wrong opponent.

Darkseid's expression stiffened a bit, but he certainly wouldn't admit to the mistake.

Watching the Planet Eater slowly climbing from one universe to another, Darkseid raised his hand, and instantly, countless Doomsday-like monsters swarmed into the sky like insects.

"No one dares to invade my world..."

Darkseid said, pausing before glancing over at Trigon beside him.

"If that creature destroys this universe, you won't escape either."

Trigon was enraged but knew there was no other way.

To leave this universe, it would have to break through both the Planet Eater and the interstellar fleet it commanded. Given these circumstances, teaming up with Darkseid was its only option.

"Fine..."

Trigon sighed, standing shoulder to shoulder with Darkseid.

"Let me see just how strong a god from another world can be..."
