Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

Carl wasn't too concerned about the situation with Stark Industries.

It was already a done deal in his mind.

All he had to do now was wait patiently and strike when the time was right.

After all,

With the Silver Superman template fully integrated into his system, Carl was practically invincible on Earth.

If he wanted money? He could walk into any bank and take it.

If he wanted something? He could simply claim it.

No government, no army, no organization could stop him.

Not even the combined might of all nations could oppose him.

If he wanted to, he could level the Earth... even erase the galaxy.

So robbing a bank?

Child's play.

But Carl had never even considered doing it.

Because he didn't want to.

Because he wouldn't stoop to that level.

He had principles.

As a man of education and reason, Carl followed a strict code of conduct.

He wouldn't lower himself to commit such disgraceful acts.

To this day,

Every cent he owned had been earned legitimately.

Even the billions he took from Kingpin?

Completely justified.

He'd spared Kingpin's life in exchange.

A fair trade, right?

And so, time quietly passed.

Several uneventful days went by.

Carl stayed mostly at Isabella's place, occasionally dropping by his own home or visiting his other girlfriends.

The daily check-in rewards he received remained rather ordinary.

He was starting to think he should switch to the accumulated check-in option instead.

That day,

After an intense night together, Isabella lay beside him, completely exhausted.

Carl finished his shower, grabbed a drink, and casually opened the chat group interface.

[Chat Group Interface]

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: Another day of being a couch potato.

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: Maybe I'll check out the new ramen place tomorrow.

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: Still don't have enough points to buy that Iron Man suit...

『Heavenly Blade King』: Hmm. Nothing exciting on my end either.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: Must be nice. You and Sister Keisha have it so easy...

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: I've been swamped with missions over here.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: Just finally got a breather.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: Free time? What's that?

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: That's not how it works at the Great Wall.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: I've been stationed here for ten years. I'm used to it.

『Sherry』: Expected, really.

『Sherry』: Not everyone gets to be a professional slacker.

『Sherry』: But having work isn't a bad thing.

『Sherry』: It's busy, but fulfilling.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: By the way, I owe Carl-sama big time.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: If not for his help, we wouldn't have held off the demonic horde last time.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: I'd have lost my post by now.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: The capital got wind of what happened in Guanshi.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: Luckily, Her Majesty didn't issue any punishment.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: Minimal casualties helped a lot.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: Honestly, Carl-sama saved our skins.

『Sherry』: Oh? Sounds like he's kind of a big deal.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: That goes without saying!

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: Carl-kun is the best!

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Carl-sama really is amazing.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Thanks to him, I was able to save Natsumi Tachibana.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Even retrieved Apollo Caestus, unconscious, but alive.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: I'm truly grateful.

『Sherry』: Huh. Sounds like this guy really gets around.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: Of course! It's Carl-kun!

『Sherry』: Uh-huh.

『Sherry』: What are you, his fangirl or something?

『Sherry』: You've been on defense mode the whole time.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: OBVIOUSLY!

Carl raised an eyebrow as he read the thread, a chuckle slipping from his lips.

He remembered the Shiho Miyano arc clearly.

And it wasn't exactly a happy one.

Her sister would die, and she'd end up taking a drug that de-aged her into a child.

Now that she was in the group…

Carl figured he might as well do a good deed.

He wasn't sure if Shiho had already taken APTX-4869 at this point.

After a moment of thought, he sent a message:

『God Among Men』: Say, @Sherry. I happen to know a few things about your future.

『Sherry』: Oh? Is that so?

『Sherry』: Then why don't you tell me?

Conan World , Japan

Inside a pristine office, Shiho Miyano leaned back in her chair, scrolling lazily through the group chat.

She paused when she saw Carl's message.

She didn't take it seriously.

Sure, she'd seen Carl show off some insane power in the chat.

But future knowledge?

About her?

How could he possibly know?

He wasn't even from her world.

That said,

They had spoken once.

He mentioned some wild stuff, like being able to resurrect people, and she'd told him she was a scientist.

But halfway through the conversation...

He ghosted her.

She'd been mid-sentence and he just vanished without a word.

And now?

Now he wanted to act mysterious?

She wasn't buying it.

Still,

She was bored.

And curious.

What kind of "future spoilers" was this guy going to claim?

『God Among Men』: Have you taken APTX-4869 yet?

Carl was sure "Sherry" was Shiho Miyano.

What he didn't know…

Was which point in her timeline she was from.

Had she already taken the drug and become Haibara Ai?

Or was she still in her adult form?

He leaned toward the latter.

After all, she'd introduced herself in the group as a scientist.

If she were a child again, wouldn't she say she was a student?

Still, maybe she was just being cautious.

He wasn't sure.

Back in her office, Shiho Miyano's eyes widened as she stood up abruptly.

『Shiho Miyano』 (thinking): How does he know?

How could Carl possibly know about APTX-4869?

She'd created the compound herself.

There was no public record. It was top secret.

This guy…

Could he really know something about her future?

Her fingers flew over the keyboard.

『Sherry』: How do you know about that drug?

『God Among Men』: Like I said, I know a few things about your future.

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: Uh-oh, Carl-sama's leaking spoilers?

『Heavenly Blade King』: popcorn.gif

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Looks like Carl-sama knows something huge.

『Sherry』: …Then tell me more. @God Among Men

『God Among Men』: First, answer me. Have you taken it?

『Sherry』: No.

『Sherry』: It's still in the testing phase.

『Sherry』: I'm the lead developer. Why would I take an unverified drug?

『God Among Men』: I see.

『God Among Men』: Then in the future... you will take it.

『Sherry』: Impossible!

『God Among Men』: Nothing is impossible.

『God Among Men』: Tell me... is your sister still alive?

『Sherry』: Of course she is! She's still so young!

Carl paused.

So that meant,

This was still early in the timeline.
