Superman's Saiyan little brother

"Boom!" A terrifying explosion echoed within the mirror dimension. The psychic barrier Robert had released shattered, and the entire space trembled. This was not just the power from Robert's ki wave, but also the energy Alexander had gathered. Even with the protection of magical artifacts, it was difficult for the mirror dimension to withstand such a powerful blast.

Just as the mirror dimension was on the verge of collapsing due to the explosion, an invisible force enveloped it, calming the turbulence within.

As the explosive waves subsided, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of Baron Mordo and his companions. This invisible force wasn't something they had deployed. They had assumed the mirror dimension would shatter and were preparing to remedy it, only to find it had stabilized.

"Hmm?" Martian Manhunter noticed a clue. Clark's cape fluttered as if struck by an invisible impact, though Clark himself remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

"This power feels familiar. Wait, is it Clark?" Kara sensed it too, as she possessed the same power, though far less potent.

"Luckily, I developed the bio-field technique after seeing Robert cause havoc. Otherwise, this explosion could have destroyed the mirror dimension, impacting the outside world as well..." Clark thought, looking in Robert's direction with a mix of relief and contemplation.

"Thankfully, this mirror dimension isn't too large. My bio-field can't protect a large area. Keeping this dimension intact is already a feat. Next time, we should consider shrinking the mirror dimension as much as possible. That way, even if an accident occurs, we can mitigate the damage..."

"Is this Clark's power?" Robert breathed a sigh of relief after the explosion, recognizing Clark's intervention. But now wasn't the time to dwell on Clark. He refocused on Alexander, who was once again in a state of turmoil.

"What the hell? Getting hit once changes the consciousness? Never mind, I hope this time I can enjoy the fight a bit more!" Robert muttered after noticing the anomaly. He then disappeared from his spot.

"Bang!" As Robert appeared in front of Alexander, the latter, now even more battered, suddenly opened his eyes. They glowed with cold, murderous intent, and he blocked Robert's punch.

"I almost lost control because of you, you bastard!" Alexander spat angrily, aiming a punch at Robert's head, intending to crush it.

Alexander believed that with Robert's fist caught, it was impossible for him to dodge, especially with his grip on Robert's hand.

"Swoosh!" However, Robert evaded Alexander's punch with an odd maneuver. Twisting his body, he kicked Alexander, forcing him to release his grip and sending him flying.

"Crack! Crack!" Robert flexed his wrist, sneering at Alexander. "Your reaction speed is better than the previous one, but only marginally."

Robert realized that Alexander was once again under the control of the dimensional entity. To him, it made no difference; as long as Alexander could fight, it was all the same. Robert viewed Alexander solely as an enemy and didn't care about the entity's name, just like he didn't care about the demon lord that possessed Cayley.

"Arrogant!" Alexander roared in anger. Initially, he had been able to exchange words with Robert while controlling Alexander's body, but Robert's relentless attacks had disrupted this, souring his attitude. Alexander vanished from his spot, charging at Robert to express his fury by crushing Robert's head.

"Swoosh! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Alexander's initial attack missed, but he blocked Robert's counterattack from behind. Alexander's energy hadn't changed, nor had his strength, but his combat skills had drastically improved. His formidable power now allowed him to suppress Robert in battle.

Despite this, Robert remained unfazed. This was the scenario he desired. Had Alexander's combat ability remained unsatisfactory, Robert could have slowly killed him numerous times. Instead, he lured out the dimensional entity to ensure a more challenging fight.

The result did not disappoint Robert. Despite some setbacks where Alexander briefly regained control of his body, the combat prowess displayed now was what Robert had been seeking.

Whether this was unfair to Alexander was not Robert's concern. It was Alexander who summoned the entity. If he couldn't defend his body, it was his fault. Besides, Alexander's inherent strength had the potential to overwhelm Robert, but his lack of combat proficiency left him lacking.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The environment within the mirror dimension continued to shatter and change as Robert and Alexander clashed, but the dimensional barrier held firm, thanks to Clark neutralizing the impact of their blows.

Clark stood there like a statue, his cape billowing with every shockwave from the battle. His expression remained stoic, as if unaffected.

"How is it? Are you struggling? Should I help by learning to neutralize this force?" Kara asked, her brows furrowed in concern.

"Uh..." Clark finally showed some reaction but didn't want to tell Kara she couldn't handle it. "No need, I'll show you the method, but mastering it will be up to you."

Clark appeared calm, but he felt the strain. Although Robert and Alexander's powers didn't surpass his, the sheer explosive force of their battle required his full attention to neutralize.

Clark remembered the chaos caused by Robert's previous fight with Cayley. The massive explosion had terrified many human leaders into thinking the Earth was doomed. Preventing a repeat was crucial to avoid global panic and potential self-destructive reactions from humanity.

"Given that this battle might not end soon, you should check on the Avengers or monitor Earth's situation. You can do many of the things I can..." Clark suggested to Martian Manhunter while keeping an eye on the fight and managing the shockwaves.

"Do you need me to take your form?" Martian Manhunter asked with a smile.

"No need, I don't like others taking my form. But if you act in my place, appear human to avoid scaring people..." Clark shook his head, recalling how Robert had disguised himself as him. He refrained from mentioning it in front of Mordo and the others.

"Alright, I'll head out then. No need for a portal..." Martian Manhunter nodded, then faded away, leaving the mirror dimension directly.

This astonished Mordo and his companions, who had never seen anyone exit the mirror dimension without breaking it.

"We've underestimated the world's heroes..." Baron Mordo remarked, feeling a renewed sense of caution. "We must be more careful when using the mirror dimension, not just to prevent it from breaking, but also to watch out for unique abilities."

"Break!" Robert roared, exerting a second burst of power from his trapped fist, shattering Alexander's wrist and punching through his chest.

But as Robert tried to withdraw his hand, countless tendrils of flesh and bone within Alexander's body ensnared it, trapping him again.

"Let's see how you break free this time!" Alexander sneered, his face twisted in malice.

"Boom!" Just as Alexander finished speaking, a powerful ki wave erupted from Robert's trapped fist, blasting through Alexander again. As Robert attempted to pull back, a pale red glow enveloped Alexander's wound, restraining Robert's fist once more. Clearly, Alexander had prepared for Robert's moves.

"Initially, I didn't understand your fighting style, but I've gleaned much from Alexander's memories. Now your tactics are known to me. With your hand and power restrained, how will you respond?" Alexander taunted, his face growing even more menacing as he extended sharp claws towards Robert's head and arm.
