"Can I leave now?" After seeing Robet's reaction, the Dimensional Debt Collector looked at Robet cautiously and asked, where was the calmness he had when he first appeared, and he no longer looked like the typical Debt Collector.

With a "whoosh," Robet waved his hand, no longer wasting time with the Dimensional Debt Collector. His soul returned directly to his body, and the power that had previously locked onto Robet disappeared.

However, Robet could still sense a faint connection between himself and a power, which reminded Robet of when Constantine used Tracking Magic to track him.

At first, Robet couldn't directly detect Constantine's presence and the Tracking Magic, but as Constantine got closer, Robet's keen senses eventually detected the Tracking Magic.

And now it's the same. After encountering the dimensional power behind Tracking Magic, Robet is still not very familiar with the power attributes and principles of Tracking Magic, and it would be a pipe dream to imitate it. But now Robet is able to find this vague power.

With a "whoosh!" sound, Robet opened his eyes after his soul returned to his body, only to be met with Kara's somewhat worried gaze.

This wasn't the first time Kara had witnessed Robet's soul leaving his body; Robet had done so before when fighting Demon. But this time, Kara sensed a growing sense of danger.

Kara's perception of this kind of mystical supernatural power was not strong at first, but as Robet taught Kara Mind Reading, Kara gradually began to use her mental power.

Even though Kara still couldn't detect the location of the Dimensional Debt Collector, she could vaguely sense the danger, which improved Kara ability to deal with peril.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Robet patted Kara's hair. As their relationship grew closer after overcoming the barrier, Robet and Kara's intimate gestures became more frequent. However, Robet didn't feel uncomfortable about these intimate gestures because he had become accustomed to his relationship with Kara.

"So? Is the price of that magic high?" Kara asked Robet with a slight frown.

"Well, to be honest, it's quite big for an ordinary person!" Robet thought for a moment and then recounted his recent experience.

"How could this be? That Constantine is no good! He actually transferred the cost of magic to you. Next time I meet him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!" Kara said angrily, clenching her fists as she listened to Robet's account.

Although it was a light punch, with Kara's Steel Body, if Constantine hadn't been on guard, this punch could have shattered Constantine on the spot!

"And that other dimension is just too unreasonable! You didn't even use Tracking Magic to track the target, and they still charged you? Doesn't anyone regulate their behavior? Isn't this just forced buying and selling?" Kara continued to complain indignantly on Robet's behalf.

"It can't really be called a forced sale. After all, as long as I don't learn and use Tracking Magic, they'll never be able to contact me..." Robet shrugged, looking at Kara's sullen expression, and playfully flicked Kara's nose as he spoke.

"Of course, I've also come to see the true nature of these dimensions. It's not exactly forced buying and selling, but it's definitely a case of whoever has the bigger fist is right. They lend out their power and then violently take back what they owe. As for how much they take back, it all depends on their mood and their level of Greed..."

"For now, my fists are bigger than theirs, so I'll just have to wait for that guy's superiors to come looking for me! Although it seems that the price charged by this Tracking Magic Dimension is relatively low..."

"What if you can't beat them?" Kara's worry hadn't faded, and she hesitated before saying, "How about we call our cousin over to help?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Robet smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "After fighting so many enemies from other dimensions, I've discovered some things..."

"It's not so easy for powerful beings from other dimensions to descend upon Earth. Those Demon in Hell smuggled themselves in; you should have seen their strength by now..."

"The Hell Demon King is very powerful, but he relied on his subordinates, through some unknown means, to create a so-called Demon King Human Vessel for him to use during his Hell Demon King..."

"The Angel, needless to say, used their backup plan to allow Raziel to appear on Earth in her full strength. All of this comes at a price, just like most magic!"

"Even if this Magic Dimension finds me following some unseen rule, I don't owe that much debt. They can't send someone too powerful, otherwise they could easily exploit a bug!"

"You mean, if they could really send powerful people here, they could make someone owe them a debt, thus bringing even more powerful people to Earth under the guise of collecting debts?" Kara understood Robet's meaning and looked at Robet with a slight brightness as she asked.

"My Kara, you're so clever!" Robet exclaimed with a smile, pulling Kara into his arms.

"What do you mean, 'your Kara'! Humph... No! I'm smarter than you! You've gone astray since you grew up!" Kara felt the warmth from Robet's embrace and was momentarily intoxicated, but she quickly realized something and glared angrily at Robet, seemingly about to punch Robet.

"Who taught me to be bad?" Robet lowered his head, looking at Kara in his arms and asking with a smile.

"How should I know? Don't come, I'm a little tired, I was just forcing myself to stay awake..." Kara avoided Robet's gaze, her little face flushed, her voice tinged with a mixture of resistance and expectation as she muttered.

"Okay, got it!" Robet chuckled and, without further ado, activated the Great Ape Power: Wrath Transformation. He hadn't had a chance to use this transformation when dealing with the Dimensional Debt Collector, so he'd save it for his sparring match with Kara!

"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore..." Kara gasped for breath, exhausted, and cried out, "Go away, I'm not fighting you anymore. You're too strong. We've been outside for too long, Martha and the others will get suspicious..."

Robet: Didn't you pull me out of there in front of everyone? What are you doubting?

Of course, this was just a thought in her mind. Robet didn't say it out loud, nor did she stop. It had already been proven that Kara's Steel Body was nothing special, but Robet still wanted to completely defeat this Steel Body and let her know the power of flesh and blood!

As for Diana's matter, Robet wasn't in a hurry to resolve it. Robet felt it wouldn't be wise to approach Diana rashly without first settling things off with Kara. He needed to convince Kara first...

After an unknown amount of time, Robet, holding the limp and powerless Supergirl who showed no trace of her Steel Body, sighed and said, "You need to train harder. At the very least, you should get more sun to improve yourself. You can't go on like this..."

"Don't be so smug. If you're so capable, cancel your transformation and talk to me..." Kara's voice was weak, but still somewhat defiant; it seemed she was only good for talking.

"Shall we continue?" Robet canceled the transformation of Great Ape Power: Wrath, his combat power undiminished, and looked at Kara, challenging her to another duel.

"No, no, no! I give up..." Supergirl had once vowed to fight to the end, finally admitted defeat. The Great Ape Power: Wrath's ability to grow stronger with each battle was simply too overpowered. Even though her fighting strength had decreased upon returning to normal, it didn't cause Robet any damage. Kara, on the other hand, had already been inflicted with several layers of weakness; how could she possibly fight Robet?

Seeing that Kara had conceded defeat, Robet did not force her to continue fighting. After resting with Kara for a while, he took the flushed Kara home.

"Ahem, you're back?" Martha, though trying to appear serious, couldn't help but smile as she looked at Robet and Kara and asked softly.

If it were Kara returning victorious, she wouldn't feel shy at all, but as a defeated warrior, Kara lowered her head slightly and uttered a faint, mosquito-like sound, "Mmm..."

"Judging from your appearance, there shouldn't be any major problems with your race. However, you should still be careful. Kara is going to university, and she has such good grades. Don't let her be held back!" Martha shook her head when she saw Kara's unusually shy demeanor. It seemed that their new life together should be very happy. However, Martha's expression quickly turned serious, especially as she looked at Robet and spoke earnestly.

Martha had given up hope of Robet going to college. She could tell that Robet wasn't cut out for it. She figured it would be better to buy Robet a farm nearby after he graduated. After all, Robet was a quick worker, the family had money now and didn't need to worry about food and drink, and it would also give Robet time to do his own things.

But Kara is different. Kara has excellent grades, and it would be a real shame if she didn't go to university. As for the problem of Robet and Kara being too far apart, Martha isn't worried at all. Just kidding, at their speed, meeting each other would be a matter of minutes.

"Yes, I will be careful." Robet understood what Martha meant. He nodded, indicating that he would control his energy release during battle in the future, since Kara's previous performance showed that she was no longer capable of wiping him out completely.

"You're back?" Clark and Lana came out at the sound of their voices. They were eager to know how Robet and Diana were going to resolve the matter, but considering the leverage Robet and Kara held over them, and the fact that Martha was unaware of Diana's existence, Clark didn't dare to ask directly.

However, Clark now realized a crucial problem: even if Robet succeeded, it seemed unlikely he could bring Diana back, given the Danvers nearby. Robet probably wouldn't dare... right?

Thinking about this, Clark hesitated for a moment before looking at Robet, who was now at eye level with him, and suddenly wondered if he shouldn't have helped his foolish younger brother.

"Yes, you're back. I have something to tell you..." Robet nodded at Clark, patted Kara on the back, and Kara, looking a little tired, walked over to Lana. He pulled Kara aside to whisper something.

"It's about magic. Do you remember the methods I used when I was tracking Valentine?" Robet pulled Clark out the door and recounted the day's events.

"Is magic that dangerous? What about your previous Ki Magic?" Clark frowned upon hearing Robet's words, looking at Robet with some concern as he asked.

After all, although Clark didn't acknowledge Robet as a magician, Robet seemed to have actually Ki Magic before. Given the cost of this magic, Clark couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's alright. The power of Ki Magic comes from within myself; it's just the Qi within my body. It's merely an extension and application of Qi..." Robet shook his head and said softly.

"That's good. So, what's your plan for the consequences?" Clark nodded knowingly, slightly relieved, then asked again, "Are you planning to keep fishing? Are you sure you won't mess it up? Should I help you set up an ambush?"

"Let's talk about that when you can make your soul leave your body. That Dimensional Debt Collector is clearly targeting the power of the soul. Even if you wanted to help, you couldn't!" Robet laughed as he looked at Clark. He admitted that Clark's body was indeed very powerful, but the problem was that Clark didn't have the ability to make his soul leave his body.

Even if Clark's soul is powerful, a soul that cannot leave its body is destined to be powerless in combat.

"Why don't we give it a try? Aren't you capable of making people's souls leave their bodies?" Clark wasn't angry when he heard Robet's words. Instead, he frowned and looked at Robet seriously as he spoke.

After hearing Robet's description of the Inter-dimensional Space, Clark took it more seriously. The lack of such abilities had always been a problem for Clark. A strong mind could make him immune to some abilities, but the soul was a more mysterious existence than the mind. It was related to the mind, but also slightly different. Clark did not want to have any weaknesses in this area.

Unaware that his body was vulnerable to Kryptonite, Clark was determined to overcome one of his few weaknesses!

With a "smack!", just as Clark finished speaking, Robet struck Clark with lightning speed. Clark felt his consciousness waver, then his mental power surged and brought him back to his senses, staring blankly at Robet.

"..." Robet, seeing Clark's reaction, was speechless for a moment, staring at Clark in silence. After a long while, he said irritably, "Give up! You're going to knock your soul out of my body, what are you resisting for?"

Robet now believes that Clark, this Kryptonian, must be using cheat codes, unlike Kara, whom he can make feel like Kara soul has left her body without even using such methods...
