At this moment, Doomsday was like a giant laser lamp, continuously blasting dazzling green beams of light from its body.
After all those lights were completely discharged, Doomsday finally went silent and fell backward, facing the sky.
This terrifying monster had finally died.
High in the air.
Alex let out a small breath of relief.
As a man who had read the "script," he knew very well how strong Doomsday was and how terrifying that monster could be.
In the original movie, in order to kill Doomsday, Superman didn't hesitate to take the kryptonite spear and die together with the monster.
Alex had absolutely no intention of ending up in mutual destruction with Doomsday, so just to be safe, he created a duplicate and had the copy carry the kryptonite spear into action.
Only during the final blow did he personally step in, using an extremely high-temperature torrent of energy to heat and detonate the kryptonite on the spear, causing it to erupt from inside Doomsday's body and completely kill the monster.
At this moment, lines of [Proficiency] information appeared on Alex's retina. He didn't look at them carefully. After dismissing the duplicate, he flew up into the sky and disappeared beneath the starry night.

On the ground—
Batman walked over to Doomsday's corpse and confirmed that the monster was dead.
The wind whistled beside him as Wonder Woman landed next to him and looked at Doomsday's body.
"It has to be dealt with. We can't let anyone use it again," Batman nodded.
Diana continued, "Who exactly was that person? He seemed to have the ability to split himself. I've never heard of someone like him."
Batman shook his head, "I don't know. I'm not even sure whether he's an enemy or an ally."
Wonder Woman glanced at Bruce, "What we can be certain of is that he's an extremely dangerous and crazy man."
"In his eyes, ordinary people are like ants. He doesn't care about the lives of mortals at all."
"That's completely different from Superman."
Batman raised his head and said, "Superman might undergo some kind of change. I mean psychologically."
Diana paused, "Why?"
Batman sighed, "The woman he loved most died right in front of him."
"And the one who killed that woman… was me."
Diana froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Bruce patted Doomsday's corpse and said, "Leave it to me."
"Do you have a phone?"
"I think from now on, we might need to keep in touch more often."
———
The wind roared.
By the time Alex stopped, he had already returned to the hotel.
He landed outside Caitlin's room. Seeing that the girl was inside, he first let out a breath of relief. Then he noticed that behind the open door was a patch of colorful, dazzling light, and couldn't help but think to himself how close that had been.
Alex adjusted the power of his heat vision, cut open the window, and slipped inside.
The night wind that suddenly blew in startled Caitlin. Alex quickly spoke up.
"Don't be afraid, I opened the window."
Caitlin let out a soft "Eh?" and said, "Mr. John, when did you come in?"
"Just now," Alex brushed it off casually.
Caitlin quickly grabbed Alex's hand and said, "Mr. John, the hotel just informed us to evacuate."
"I was about to go find you, but you told me no matter what happens, don't leave, so I came back again."
Alex thought to himself, 'Good thing you listened. Otherwise, you would've left me behind in this universe.'
He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I was just about to tell you. After I came in, the 'door' opened."
"The door home."
Caitlin made a surprised sound, "Really?"
"Then let's go back quickly. This place feels really dangerous. I just felt the ground shaking, and there have been explosions outside nonstop."
'Of course there were, miss. I just destroyed half the city.'
Alex glanced out the window, then held Caitlin's hand and said, "Come on. Let's go home."
The two of them walked into the colorful light behind the door. The light flickered once and disappeared.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in and lifted a newspaper lying on the table.
On the newspaper was a photo of Superman Clark flying into the sky, flying toward the sun.
———
After the light before their eyes faded, Alex realized that the two of them had walked out from the kitchen of Caitlin's rented apartment.
They were back.
At that moment, Caitlin asked, "So, are we home?"
Alex nodded, "We're back."
He looked outside the window. It was still night outside. Then he turned on the television and saw that the TV was still broadcasting today's news about Homelander becoming an official of the Department of Defense.
They had spent two days in the DC universe, but in The Boys universe, only a few seconds had passed.
It was like they had simply walked into the kitchen, turned around once, and walked back out. Hardly any time had passed.
Alex thought to himself that this was perfect. That way, even if he traveled to other universes, he wouldn't miss anything when he returned.
"It's getting late. You should get some rest."
Alex let go of Caitlin's hand and said with a smile, "Good night, Caitlin."
"Good night, Mr. John," Caitlin felt her palm suddenly empty, and a faint sense of loss rose inside her.
Then she heard Alex say, "Stop calling me Mr. John. Just call me John. We're already friends now, aren't we?"
"So don't be so formal."
Caitlin felt warmth in her heart and nodded.
"Okay, John."
"Good night."
———
After Alex left, he immediately flew towards the Seven Tower.
At that moment, lines of information appeared before his eyes.
[The multiverse event 'Dawn of Justice' has ended!]
[Event evaluation and settlement in progress.]
[Evaluation complete. Details are as follows.]
[1. You defeated a well-equipped modern army, including shooting down two F-15 fighter jets. Reward: 'Proficiency Essence' ×8]
[2. You changed Lois's fate. Reward: 'Proficiency Essence' ×2]
[3. You influenced Clark's beliefs. Reward: 'Cape of Justice' ×1]
[4. You personally killed Doomsday. Reward: 'Doomsday Seed' ×1]
[5. You led the DC universe toward an unpredictable future. The impact of this event is far-reaching. Reward: 'Proficiency Essence' ×43]
[6. You completed a multiverse event. Reward: 'Multiverse Crystal' ×10]
[Event settlement complete!]
[New items have been added to your shop.]
Alex let out a breath. The rewards were pretty good.
Just the [Proficiency Essence] alone amounted to 53 pieces. In addition, there were two items: the Cape of Justice and the Doomsday Seed.
There was also something called Multiverse Crystals, though he had no idea what they were for.
Alex opened the item inventory and found the two items.
[Cape of Justice: Carries on Superman's spirit of saving the dying and helping the injured. The wearer of the cape will be protected by a biological force field. Even if the cape is destroyed, one fatal injury will be negated.]
[Doomsday Seed: A one-time consumable item. By using energy, the seed can be bred to produce a 'Doomsday' under your control. It will fight for you until death, or for 48 hours.]
"Cape of Justice…"
"Doomsday Seed…"
Alex narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Both are pretty good. The first one is a defensive artifact, and the second can breed a 'Doomsday' that obeys orders."
