• The castle’s shield activated too late to stop the meteorite, but it contained the explosion and survived with spiderweb cracks.
• Pero noticed someone watching him, rose into the sky, and brought his palms together to prepare a move inspired by Nagato.

Pero arrived in a modern world and watched Superman and the Justice Gang fight a giant lizard monster in the city. After seeing their bizarre battle and the cheering crowd, he left to investigate what kind of world he had entered.

• Pero emerged from a golden rift into a deserted alley and heard an explosion nearby.
• Pero saw a giant lizard monster attack City Park Plaza while Superman ineffectively tried to block its flames, setting an office building on fire.
• Superman dodged the monster's next fire attack with showy spins while Pero watched in disbelief.
• Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and a man in a flying wheelchair arrived as the Justice Gang and defeated the monster with a mace strike, a green muzzle, and bombs.
• After the Justice Gang celebrated with the crowd and media, Pero turned away and walked deeper into the alley to investigate the world.

Pero investigated the world and found signs that its Superman was unusually weak and that Lex Luthor was secretly spreading anti-Superman comments. When Clark discovered Lex had raided the Fortress of Solitude and taken Krypto, Pero followed him and offered help.

• Pero searched the internet, created a legal identity and bank account, and questioned why this world's Superman seemed so weak.
• Pero recognized Peacemaker and suspected the world was connected to Gunn, then watched footage revealing Clark's mother discussing Kryptonian reproduction and Lex Luthor condemning the plan.
• Pero hacked LexCorp and found an unexplained signal directing paid trolls to post negative comments about Superman.
• Clark fled to the North Pole after realizing something was wrong, and Pero followed him to the Fortress of Solitude.
• Clark found his robot servants dismantled and learned that Lex Luthor had taken Krypto; when Clark punched Pero, Pero caught his fist and offered to help.

Pero met Clark in the ruined Fortress of Solitude and watched as Clark ignored the attacks on his reputation to focus on rescuing Krypto. After Clark turned his confrontation with Luthor into a public outburst, Pero watched Peacemaker mock him on television and wondered how he could get home.

• Pero introduced himself to Clark as one of his kind, and Clark enthusiastically hugged him, believing he had found another Kryptonian.
• Pero criticized Clark’s homemade Superman suit and asked what he planned to do about Luthor’s smear campaign and raid; Clark said he would get Krypto back.

• Clark smashed Luthor’s desk, noticed an assistant livestreaming, and accused Luthor of stealing Krypto in front of the worldwide audience.
• That night, Pero watched Peacemaker ridicule Clark’s televised outburst and switched off the talk show, wishing he could go home.

Pero investigated Clark's reputation and Lex Luthor's attacks, then decided to stop following Clark and spent the night digging through superhero gossip. In the morning, a live news report showed Clark pinned down and handcuffed by a masked operative, leaving Pero stunned.

• Pero found reports that Clark had repeatedly interfered in other countries and discovered that Lex Luthor had manipulated Jor-El's recording and developed weapons against Superman.
• Pero watched Clark ignore a monster attacking the city and confide in Lois about the recording, then gave up on him and switched off his Super-Hearing.
• Pero learned from the system that he had fifteen days before he could leave, then spent the night uncovering gossip about Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor, and the Justice Gang.
• Pero saw a live news report showing a masked operative pinning Clark to the ground and handcuffing him.

After Clark surrendered to get closer to the captured Krypto, Pero realized that Luthor might have hidden him somewhere beyond Pero’s perception. Meanwhile, Lois enlisted Mister Terrific and the Justice Gang to help rescue Clark and investigate Luthor.

• Pero watched Clark’s arrest on live television and noticed that the black-clad agent restraining him had unusual strength.

• At the Daily Planet, Lois studied evidence linking Lex Luthor to the unfolding events and decided to help Clark.
• Lois called Mister Terrific, who agreed to bring friends from the Justice Gang to help rescue Clark.

Clark Kent was tried in a Lex Luthor-controlled court and sentenced to indefinite containment, while Pero discovered Lex’s pocket universe and a clone of Clark. Inside the prison, Clark found Krypto being tortured and met the Atom.

• Lex Luthor presented edited footage and accusations that convinced the court to classify Clark as a threat and sentence him to indefinite isolation under LexCorp.
• Lex’s agents subdued Clark and transported him through a portal into a pocket universe.
• Pero traced the portal, hacked Lex’s server, and discovered that Lex had built a Superman clone.
• Clark found Krypto restrained and having blood samples taken, then realized his own strength was fading inside his cage.
• The Atom warned Clark not to waste his strength.

Lex Luthor used kryptonite to weaken Clark and forced him to watch as he killed Rajesh, leaving Clark overwhelmed by guilt and despair. In Metropolis, Pero decided to intervene rather than wait out the fifteen-day cooldown, while Lois and Mister Terrific were nearby.

• The Atom apologized to Clark and revealed that Lex Luthor had forced him to help make Clark's captivity more painful.
• Lex Luthor used kryptonite to weaken Clark, then threatened Rajesh to make Clark reveal the identities of people connected to him.

• Pero sensed that Clark's fate could threaten the world and decided to act instead of waiting through the cooldown.

Pero went to the Justice Gang's headquarters while Lois Lane and Mister Terrific searched for a way to rescue Clark from Lex Luthor's trap. After demonstrating his powers, Pero introduced himself as a Kryptonian and a Superman from another universe.

• Pero left his apartment and flew to the Justice Gang's headquarters.
• Lois told Mister Terrific that Lex Luthor had trapped Clark, and they discussed finding evidence to rescue him.

• Pero said he counted as a Kryptonian and identified himself as a Superman from another universe.

Pero agreed to help Lois rescue Clark while leaving the investigation and planning to her team. Lois and Jimmy traced Lex Luthor’s secret base, and after Mister Terrific defeated its guards, Pero reached the Pocket Universe portal as his system detected spatial energy that could replenish the Rōran Dragon Vein.

• Lois persuaded Pero to intervene for Clark, and Pero told her team to handle the rescue plans themselves.
• Lois and Jimmy investigated Lex Luthor with help from Eve Teschmacher, who gave them evidence that he had engineered the conflict between Boratavia and Jahanpur.
• Lois used the background of Eve’s photo and Michael’s satellite maps to locate Lex Luthor’s secret desert base.
• Lois, Mister Terrific, and Pero flew to the base, where Mister Terrific used his T-Spheres to defeat the Lexbots.
• At the Pocket Universe portal, Pero’s system detected pure spatial energy that could replenish the Rōran Dragon Vein and shorten his crossing cooldown.

Pero entered Lex Luthor’s Pocket Universe just as Clark’s escape caused it to collapse. Clark, The Atom, Krypto, and the baby were swept toward a black hole, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Pero learned that absorbing the Pocket Universe’s energy could replenish the Rōran Dragon Vein but might collapse the space, so he waited until everyone was out before considering it.
• The Atom withdrew his kryptonite hand and transformed himself into a miniature sun, allowing Clark to absorb solar energy and regain his strength.
• Clark broke free, rescued The Atom’s baby, freed Krypto, and fought Lex Luthor’s enforcers, destroying the equipment stabilizing the Pocket Universe.
• The Pocket Universe shattered into cubes and formed a black hole that dragged Clark, The Atom, Krypto, and the baby into its torrent.
• Pero entered the Pocket Universe and witnessed them being swept toward the black hole.

Pero entered a collapsing pocket universe with Lois and Michael to rescue Clark, who was trapped in an antimatter river near a black hole with a baby and Krypto. Pero stopped the black hole and swallowed it, replenishing the Rōran Dragon Vein while triggering unknown changes.

• Pero, Lois, and Michael arrived in the collapsing pocket universe and discovered antimatter particles were flowing toward a black hole.
• Pero spotted Clark struggling in the antimatter river while holding a green-skinned baby, and Michael's T-Sphere was destroyed by Krypto.
• Krypto licked the baby instead of helping Clark, while The Atom used tentacles and a rocket-like form to try to pull them away from the black hole.
• Pero left Lois and Michael behind, then appeared above Clark and used his bio-electric field to compress the black hole into a palm-sized sphere.
• Pero swallowed the black hole, and the system reported that the Rōran Dragon Vein's energy was replenished as unknown changes began.

Pero swallowed the black hole’s energy source, causing the pocket space to collapse, and led Clark, The Atom, his son, and Krypto to safety. After the group escaped, they went their separate ways, while Pero took Krypto home and soon regretted it.

• After Pero swallowed the black hole, the antimatter scattered, and Clark handed The Atom his son before collapsing from exhaustion.
• Pero carried the unconscious Clark and The Atom through the collapsing pocket space to the laboratory, where Lois and Mister Terrific were waiting.
• The group fled through the portal as Krypto chewed up more of Mister Terrific’s T-Spheres, and the portal shut down behind them.
• Lois took Clark to his parents’ farm in Smallville, Mister Terrific returned to investigate Lex Luthor, and The Atom left to start a new life with his son.
• Pero took Krypto to his Metropolis penthouse and regretted it when the superpowered puppy began wrecking the place.

Lex Luthor discovered that his Pocket Universe had collapsed, then caught Eve Teschmacher betraying him and ordered his employees to restart it. Pero watched the chaos, found a hidden backup portal, and learned from the system that Ryūmyaku remained usable but was still changing, so he stayed to watch events unfold.

• Lex Luthor flew into a rage in the control room and struck Eve Teschmacher with a metal ornament when he caught her taking selfies.
• Eve slipped into the nearby server room and sent Jimmy her photos and information about Lex Luthor’s plot, loudly enough for Lex to hear.
• Ultraman tore the server room door from its frame, and Lex dragged Eve out before ordering his employees to restart the Pocket Universe overnight.
• Pero noticed a second, inactive portal hidden behind a wall and wondered how Lex would power it.
• Pero contacted the system and learned that Ryūmyaku could be activated but was still changing, so he decided to remain in the world for a few more days.

• Luthor reopened the portal to the Pocket Universe after two hours of work.
• Luthor had guards take Eve into the damaged Pocket Universe and saw the aftermath of Clark’s fight.
• Luthor decided to reverse the portal and use the Pocket Universe to tear a rift in the real world, dismissing the danger to Metropolis and Earth.
