The source of the shouting was quite far from Roger's current position, but fortunately, his flight ability had partially recovered.

Although he couldn't achieve supersonic speeds yet, covering such a short distance didn't take him long.

Upon arriving at the location of the shouting, Roger finally saw the "monster" in question.

It had wings on its back, a metallic, armor-like skin, glowing red eyes, and a headpiece resembling a helmet that seemed fused with its skin.

"Parademons? Why are Parademons appearing here?!"

Without a doubt, the creature before him was a Parademon from the DC Universe!

At this moment, the inexplicably present Parademon was madly chasing a young couple.

The pair, who looked like students, were sprinting hand-in-hand down the alley, shouting loudly for help. The cries Roger had heard earlier came from them.

Unfortunately, it was late at night, and there weren't many people around. The nearest patrolling police car was two blocks away, so there was almost no one to respond to their desperate cries for help—except Roger.

Seeing the Parademon, Roger descended straight from the sky, landing right in front of it.

The fleeing couple in the distance stopped, the boy clutching the girl's hand tightly. With wide eyes, he exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's Superman!"

Though Roger wasn't wearing his battle suit, his dramatic descent from the sky and the Parademon's presence instantly made the boy think of Superman.

....

Being a fan of DC movies, the boy naturally recognized the creature as a Parademon.

In fact, he had initially approached the alley out of curiosity, thinking the "cosplay" was remarkably lifelike.

It wasn't until he got closer that he realized—this wasn't cosplay. It was the real deal.

Panicked, he grabbed his girlfriend and ran for their lives, shouting for help.

The boy had resigned himself to dying tonight. But now, having encountered both a Parademon and Superman in one night, he felt a glimmer of hope.

Well... this had to be Superman, right?

"What are you waiting for? Run and call the police!"

Standing in the shadows, Roger ensured the boy couldn't clearly see his face and shouted at him.

The boy quickly snapped out of it, grabbed his girlfriend's hand, and turned to run.

"Superman, hang in there! I'll bring reinforcements!"

"...?"

Watching the young couple disappear into the distance, Roger was left with a head full of question marks.

Hang in there?

Who's hanging in there?

As this thought crossed his mind, Roger punched the Parademon to the ground, tore off its wings, and twisted its neck with a swift motion.

The entire sequence of actions was seamless—from grabbing the Parademon to snapping its neck, it took less than two seconds.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid letting the young couple witness the grisly scene, Roger might have stomped the Parademon to death the moment he landed.
