Emperor Viktor politely smiled as he saw Zatanna and Kara leave.
After the two of them completely disappeared, the smile on Emperor Viktor's face instantly vanished.
He stood there, gritting his teeth slightly, and his temples were faintly throbbing.
"Hmph."
That day when Zatanna and Kara said goodbye to Rachel, Viktor heard the two women agreeing to visit Rachel's new house whenever they had time.
Originally, he just thought it was polite courtesy, but these two women actually come here every other day.
Because of that, whenever Emperor Viktor wanted to quietly do something, he couldn't go farther than twenty miles away from the seaside villa.
Over the past few hundred years, Emperor Viktor hadn't been idle. He learned some small tricks through Parallax's consciousness.
However, as an emperor who was overly confident in his physical strength, Emperor Viktor looked down on those "tricks" and only learned them, but never mastered them.
After hypnotizing Rachel, who could expose his identity, Emperor Viktor, who originally wanted to make a move on Earth, was annoyed by Zatanna and the other woman visiting every few days.
He could briefly control Rachel through interference from fear energy, but this control has a certain distance limitation.
The control would break if it went beyond twenty miles and Rachel would immediately fall asleep.
To avoid Zatanna noticing anything strange, Emperor Viktor had to stay alert all the time in case the two women came to visit.
Fortunately, Rachel herself was a quiet, emotionless girl who didn't like to talk much.
He only needed to let her sit on the sofa, listen to Zatanna and Kara chatting, and then control her to nod or respond once in a while.
As for Emperor Viktor, the powerful emperor who was supposed to return to Earth every few decades in the future to spread fear, ended up being stuck in the kitchen.
He kept making different snacks for the three women's tea gatherings.
Sometimes standing in the kitchen, Viktor wished he could just punch Zatanna and Kara to death but unfortunately couldn't.
In order to perfectly blend into this timeline and replace the other self into the hypertime stream, Emperor Viktor completely simulated everything about Viktor's physical traits when reconstructing his soul back into flesh.
That meant he was no longer as strong as he had been at his peak in the future.
Initially, Emperor Viktor felt that his strength was already enough. After all, before being replaced, he could already fight with Doomsday.
Aside from the mysterious Tom who had gone into hiding with his wife, who else could defeat him head-on?
Even the Superman from Metropolis wouldn't dare say he could win for sure.
As a result, when facing Zatanna and Kara who kept coming over to eat and hang out, Emperor Viktor didn't dare to make a move.
After all, even the real Doomsday couldn't silently kill those two.
Zatanna with fully recovered magic power and Kara would definitely cause a huge disturbance if they fought back.
There was also the possibility of Rachel getting hurt by mistake but it didn't matter because Emperor Viktor was patience.
In the future, he done the same thing.
As long as Earth had a strong enemy he couldn't defeat, Emperor Viktor would hide in the Anti-Matter Universe and wait until the enemy left or weakened.
Then Emperor Viktor would return to comfortably rule Earth for decades or even centuries.
"Finally left. These women are really annoying!"
Emperor Viktor returned to the villa and saw that Rachel was already sleeping peacefully in her room.
He then reviewed his plan again.
As long as Zatanna and Kara stopped coming, Emperor Viktor would immediately begin a dirty stealth operation.
First, Emperor Viktor would kill Lex Luthor and would exile Pandora into space.
There was no other way since that woman was also hard to kill.
He also planned to find Reverse Flash.
If weren't for that man, Emperor Viktor would have stayed comfortably in the future and wouldn't have drifted alone in the timestream for so long.
To maintain his "withdrawn" image, Emperor Viktor went to the storage room and picked out a set of fishing gear that Rachel had prepared earlier for his other self.
He planned to go out to sea and do some fishing. There are surveillance devices set up by that gloomy Batman all around the villa.
He still had to keep acting like a good person under the Justice League's watch for a while longer.
...
"Atomica, how is the plan going?"
Ultraman seemed to be getting impatient again and contacted the spy placed in the target universe through Owlman.
Atomica, who had shrunk to a microscopic size, sat angrily on top of a seagull's head, using it as a free ride while circling over the sea.
She didn't dare say that, for some reason, Batman had started to suspect her, and she had been forced to flee from the S.T.A.R Labs.
Ultraman was still counting on her to find a way to infiltrate the Justice League and then strike first to disable some of their strongest force.
Luckily, Owlman had previously assigned her a task that could serve as an excuse.
Atomica ran a few steps, then used the tiny thruster on her back and the wind behind her to lift off from the seagull's head.
She jumped down toward the small wooden boat below.
She stared fixedly at the figure sitting in the boat and fishing with her eyes full of undisguised killing intent.
"I've already found the anomaly. This person appeared in the ruins of New York with Superman before, but his residence was surrounded by a lot of dark magic. I've never been able to get in..."
As she got closer and closer to the calm-looking young man, Atomica's voice was full of confidence.
"I'll drill into his brain and quietly destroy part of his brain tissue, turning him into a vegetative state. The Justice League will definitely fall into chaos over this person's death."
She didn't say the rest, but she believed that would be her chance to completely bring down the Justice League.
But just as Atomica was only a few meters away from the target... A terrifying scream transmitted through the speakers in Owlman's cave.
"Damn it! He's looking up at me and... he's smiling?!"
"How could he see me?!"
