"You never mentioned crossing timelines would cause such a commotion!"

Roger shouted at Cyborg as he realized numerous Apokolips fleets were heading their way.

"Well, now you know!"

Cyborg yelled back, quickly signaling The Flash to start running.

Traveling back in time wasn't as simple as it looked for this version of The Flash. Unlike in the TV series or comics, where Barry Allen casually zipped through time creating paradoxes, the movie version required significant assistance.

This included the specialized armor The Flash was wearing, the time travel formula Cyborg had devised, and the enormous electrical energy and incredible speed necessary for the process.

All these factors combined created a cacophony during the initial stages of the attempt—deafening noise, massive arcs of electricity, and an immense surge of energy originating from the Batcave. It was anything but discreet.

As The Flash began his run, it was Roger's job to deal with the incoming Apokolips fleets—and potentially Doomsday himself.

There was no time to argue with Cyborg about not warning him earlier. Roger burst out of the Batcave's shattered opening, using his presence to draw the fleet's attention away from the cave.

Fortunately, Batman and others were creating chaos elsewhere, keeping Darkseid preoccupied and preventing him from intervening directly.

But even without Darkseid himself, handling the forces of Apokolips alone was no easy feat. Roger's only hope was for The Flash to finish quickly.

"Alright... let's clear the field."

As the hordes of Parademons approached, Roger took a deep breath. The next moment, he unleashed his frost breath, creating a massive tornado that stretched from the ground to the sky, freezing and sweeping away the swarm.

This was a new ability Roger had developed after his many traversals or perhaps a power he had gained during his dimensional travels.

By incorporating his frost breath into a massive windstorm, Roger could wipe out swarms of weaker enemies.

Initially, he hesitated to use this ability underwater, fearing it might freeze the ocean or harm Mera. But now, with no allies around and only enemies to face, Roger let loose without restraint.

The ice-laden tornado wreaked havoc, obliterating countless Parademons. Roger single-handedly held back the incoming swarm with his newfound might.

After countless journeys, Roger's strength had far surpassed his initial limits. His power was now comparable to Superman's, though he was far from invincible.

Roger's super senses locked onto a massive figure in the distance—Doomsday.

The very scenario he had feared was now a reality. Darkseid had resurrected Doomsday. While this Doomsday was technically a replica rather than the iconic version, it was still powerful enough to rival, if not surpass, Superman.

"So they threw a wildcard at me..."

Watching the colossal figure rapidly approach, Roger grew more serious.

The Kryptonite ring Cyborg had created was securely on Roger's right hand, but he wasn't confident about how effective it would be against Doomsday. From its sheer size, Doomsday was at least twice as large as Superman, and Kryptonite's effect might be limited.
