Superwoman
Kara was somewhat bewildered. Since leaving that base, everything she had encountered had been clear-cut: justice was justice, and evil was evil.
No one had ever laid these naked truths bare before her before.
"Carl, is what he said true?"
Kara asked.
"That's true, but there's one thing we forgot: the strong make the rules, and in this world, we are the strongest."
Kino looked at Johnny Quick.
"Johnny, I'm giving you a task. Gather all members of the global Crime Syndicate the day after tomorrow. If they don't come, I'll consider them dead."
"Few dare to disobey your orders, but Ultraman, what do you want to do?"
Johnny Quick asked curiously.
"To reshape the world to suit my liking."
Gotham City.
Owlman returned to his eagle's nest, his private domain filled with high-tech equipment and dangerous decorations, and casually put down the glass jar in his hand.
Without the technology to control the size of matter, this is indeed a toy; however, it has piqued Owlman's interest in studying Atomica.
"What did Ultraman say to you, Little Thomas?"
A seductive voice, as alluring as a nightingale's, rang out behind him, its tone carrying a hint of ambiguity and temptation.
"Call me Owlman, Superwoman."
Owlman calmly turned around and looked at the dangerous yet beautiful woman behind him.
"This is truly disheartening. After being with you for so long, how is this how you address me?"
Superwoman walked lightly to Owlman's side, her fingers gently resting on Owlman shoulder, sliding down like feathers, and she said with a sweet laugh:
You should call me Louise.
Despite the power armor blocking his way, Owlman could clearly feel the sensation of her fingertips gently gliding across his body.
Owlman raised his hand and slapped away the hand that was on his shoulder. He knew it was the power of magic, and he usually didn't recommend taking it out on this woman, but not now.
"What do you need me for, Superwoman? I'm very busy right now."
Seeing that Owlman was so oblivious to her feelings, Superwoman lowered her hand and her expression became serious.
"Help me control the Ultraman."
"Why? Your Obedience Lasso is useless against him."
"That applies to the Ultraman of the past, but not necessarily the current Ultraman. Others dare not speculate too much because of Ultraman's power, but you should have already realized that he is not the real Ultraman."
"So what if he isn't? The fact that he killed Ultraman proves he has the ability. You don't want to avenge the real Ultraman, do you?"
"Revenge? You're overthinking it. I just want to make him my slave. Think about it: his power, your wisdom—if you help me, the Crime Syndicate can completely rule the world."
The Superwoman's eyes burned with a fierce ambition, as if she could already see herself standing at the top of the world.
The Owlman pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"I can help you, but why should I believe that after you control that guy, you'll control me too? Don't talk about love or anything like that; there's only self-interest between us."
The Superwoman's smile had just faded, and she did indeed have this plan.
"How can I make you believe that I won't hurt you? For example..."
Superwoman grabbed Owlman's hand and pressed it against her lower abdomen.
"For example, I could have a child with you, and that child would become a bond of trust between us."
"Child?"
Owlman let out a disdainful sneer and shook off his hand.
"Have you forgotten my past? I became Owlman by killing my own parents and brother."
"Then what do you want?!"
Superwoman was furious, but there was nothing she could do. Without Owlman's plan, she couldn't tame that fake Ultraman.
"Make me the user of the Obedience Lasso. After taming that Ultraman, I can command him too. I know your amazing magic can do that."
Owlman's request made Superwoman hesitate.
The Obedience Lasso was her most important tool for control and domination.
The Obedience Lasso can make the bound person submit to the Superwoman's will.
She can use this trait to control others to work for her, consolidate her position within the Crime Syndicate, and subdue rebels in the process of conquering the world, making it an important tool for achieving her ambitions of domination.
However, if other people are added to the licensing rights, her absolute obedience is no longer absolute.
"If you don't want to, just give up on this idea. Anyway, even if that Ultraman is fake, it won't affect me at all."
Owlman turned and got busy; he was indeed very busy.
"... I agree, but the right to use the Obedience Lasso must remain mine."
After much deliberation, Superwoman came up with a compromise. She didn't want to give up the opportunity to rule the world, but she also wanted to retain her dominance over the Obedience Lasso.
"Can."
The Owlman, with his back turned, smirked, but the smile vanished in an instant.
After a mysterious moment of consciousness, the Obedience Lasso in the Owlman's hand glowed with golden light, a sign that it was ready to be used.
He had always been curious about the power of this Obedience Lasso.
Superwoman gave a coquettish laugh, reached out and grabbed Owlman's chin, gently lifting his head and forcing him to look at her.
At the same time, her clothes slipped down imperceptibly, revealing her perfect body.
Owlman placed the Lasso of Truth in his hand on the table beside him, and his power armor emitted plumes of steam, cracking open from his back.
Little Thomas Wayne Jr. walked out from inside; this was his weakest moment, but to the Superwoman, it was a sign of trust.
Just as the Superwoman was planning a sleepless night with the Owlman.
Pfft!
A dull thud broke the ambiguous atmosphere. Superwoman stared wide-eyed in disbelief, slowly lowering her head to see a black dagger piercing her beautiful body from behind. Blood flowed continuously along the blade, staining her fair skin red.
Behind her, the unused power armor activated on its own, and black daggers popped out from her arms, completely piercing into the Superwoman's body.
"War, the God of War Blade! I should destroy it, why?"
Blood kept flowing from the corner of the Superwoman's mouth, and her once boundless divine power was also draining away. She asked not only where the Owlman found it, but also why he killed her.
