DC: Becoming Supreme With Technology ( I Beat Superman)

The two clashed again, trading blows that sent shockwaves through the city. Zhal'Kor strength was immense, enough to tear through reinforced concrete and twist metal like paper. Yet Ethan's enhanced physiology and advanced suit absorbed the attacks with ease.

Ethan responded with calculated precision. A blast of concentrated moon energy shot from his hands, striking Zhal'Kor in the chest and sending him sprawling.

"You're outmatched," Ethan said, his voice steady. "Surrender while you still can."

Zhal'Kor roared in defiance and charged again, but Ethan had seen enough. With a glowing gaze, he activated his eye power, focusing on his adversary.

Zhal'Kor froze mid-charge, his body stiffening as the petrification took hold. His movements slowed until he was completely immobilized, a statue of rage and defiance.

Ethan approached the stone figure, studying it for a moment. He placed a hand on its chest and sighed. "You should've stayed in orbit."

With a swift and powerful strike, Ethan shattered the petrified commander into fragments, scattering the pieces across the battlefield.

The battlefield grew quiet as the last remnants of the Khurds forces retreated or were neutralized. Ethan activated his comms.

"Helios," he said, his tone calm, "inform the Justice League. The Khurds commander has been neutralized. Metropolis is secure."

"Understood, sir," Helios replied. "Shall I initiate a full analysis of the remaining Khurds technology?"

"Do it," Ethan said, glancing at the fragments of the once-mighty commander. "Let's make sure we're ready if anyone else decides to try this."

With the threat neutralized, Ethan rose into the air, his silvery aura illuminating the darkened city as he flew to regroup with the other heroes.

The Earth was quiet again, but the scars of the invasion were everywhere. Cities lay in ruins, military bases were obliterated, and countless lives had been upended. The Justice League, alongside local governments and relief organizations, worked tirelessly to bring aid to those in need, clear debris, and rebuild homes. Superman and Wonder Woman helped lift rubble and repair structures. Flash worked with emergency teams to restore essential services at superhuman speed. Aquaman assisted coastal cities ravaged by the Khurds' assault, while Batman coordinated relief efforts with unparalleled precision.

Ethan Harper, in his silvery-white suit, hovered above the ruins of Metropolis, observing the efforts. His mind raced with ideas. It was clear that humanity needed more than temporary solutions; it needed preparation for the future.

A week later, in Metropolis, a massive press conference was held. The world's media gathered as two of its most influential figures, Ethan Harper and Bruce Wayne, stepped onto the stage. Behind them was a massive screen showcasing images of the devastation and rebuilding efforts.

Ethan began, his tone solemn but hopeful.

"Today, we stand united not only as survivors of an unprecedented attack but as witnesses to the strength and resilience of humanity. The Khurds invasion showed us that we are not alone in this universe—and that we must be ready for anything."

Bruce Wayne stepped forward, his voice calm and authoritative. "To that end, Wayne Enterprises and Aether Corporation are joining forces to establish a foundation dedicated to addressing the aftermath of alien invasions and extraordinary disasters. This foundation will provide relief, rebuild infrastructure, and support global security efforts."

The audience erupted in applause as Ethan continued. "This is not just about rebuilding what was lost; it's about building a safer future. Together, we will create a world that can withstand any challenge."

Later, in a private meeting with the Justice League at an undisclosed location, Ethan presented his ambitious plans.

"Humanity needs more than just superheroes swooping in when things go wrong," Ethan said, pacing in front of a holographic display. "We need to be proactive, not reactive."

He gestured to the display, which showed a sleek spaceship with advanced weaponry and stealth capabilities. "I've already begun construction on the Predator, a state-of-the-art reconnaissance ship capable of monitoring beyond the solar system. It will give us early warnings of extraterrestrial threats."

Superman nodded, impressed. "That's a significant step forward."

Ethan switched the display to show a massive orbital station. "This is the Watchtower —a space station designed not just for monitoring but also for quick deployment. It's equipped with long-range sensors, emergency housing for evacuees, and even diplomatic facilities in case we need to engage peacefully with other civilizations."

Cyborg leaned forward, studying the schematics. "This could change everything."

"But there's more," Ethan said. "We need a presence on the ground. I propose building Justice League infrastructures in major cities. Not just as bases, but as symbols—places where people can go to feel safe, to know they're protected."

Batman raised an eyebrow. "You're suggesting we go public?"

Ethan nodded. "Not fully. We maintain anonymity where needed, but we create a tangible connection with the people we protect. It's about trust. Right now, we're shadows. Let's give them something to believe in."

Wonder Woman smiled. "A beacon of hope. I like it."

Shazam grinned. "I'm in. This sounds awesome."

As the months went by, construction began across the globe. Justice League towers rose in major cities like Metropolis, Gotham, Central City, and beyond. Each tower was a marvel of engineering, blending Aether and Wayne technology. They became symbols of protection, equipped with advanced systems to monitor and respond to threats locally and globally.

In orbit, the Predator ship and the Watchtower 2.0 neared completion. Ethan personally oversaw their development, ensuring every detail was perfect. He also worked with the Justice League to refine their strategies and integrate their capabilities with the new technology.

The world began to see the Justice League not just as distant heroes but as partners in their survival and progress. People felt safer, knowing that the League was watching over them, both from the ground and from the stars.

A Symbol of Unity

At the unveiling of the first Justice League tower in Metropolis, Ethan, Bruce, and the League stood together. The crowd roared with approval as Superman spoke.

"This is not just a building," he said, his voice carrying over the crowd. "It's a promise—a promise that we will always stand with you, protect you, and fight for you."

Ethan took the microphone. "Together, we'll face any challenge, any threat, and emerge stronger. The Justice League isn't just about heroes; it's about humanity."

The crowd erupted into cheers, their faith in the future renewed.

Ethan stood in his private lab, putting the finishing touches on his experimental suit. It hung before him like a gleaming work of art, its design sleek and futuristic, a balance of aesthetic simplicity and cutting-edge technology. The silver and white fabric shimmered under the overhead lights, the intricate energy conduits embedded within glowing faintly with a pale blue hue. This suit wasn't just armor—it was an extension of him, capable of harnessing and amplifying his unique abilities.

"Helios," Ethan said, stepping back to admire his work, "run one final diagnostic on the suit's systems."

Helios' smooth voice responded instantly. "Diagnostics initiated. Power circuits, 100% operational. Energy regulators, functioning within optimal parameters. Moonlight energy absorption module, fully integrated. All systems are go, Ethan."

He allowed himself a small smile. Months of development, trial, and error had culminated in this moment. Satisfied, he locked the suit in its containment chamber and turned his focus to another pressing matter—dinner.

A short drive later, Ethan arrived at Luna's Table, an intimate restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner of Metropolis. It was a place he frequented when he needed a moment of calm amidst the whirlwind of his life. The décor was understated, with soft lighting and walls adorned with abstract paintings.

Ethan settled into his usual corner table, the hum of light chatter filling the air. The server, a friendly woman named Clara who knew him well, greeted him warmly.

"Good to see you, Mr. Harper. The usual tonight?"

"Absolutely," Ethan replied with a nod.

Minutes later, his meal arrived: a perfectly grilled salmon, its crispy skin glistening with a drizzle of lemon-butter sauce, accompanied by a side of roasted asparagus and creamy mashed potatoes. A small bowl of butternut squash soup preceded the entrée, its smooth texture and warm spices setting the tone. For dessert, a slice of New York cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries completed the meal.

Ethan ate slowly, savoring every bite. The salmon melted in his mouth, the buttery richness balanced by the tangy lemon. The mashed potatoes were indulgently smooth, and the asparagus added a crisp, earthy note to the dish. By the time he finished, he felt both satiated and content.

As he exited the restaurant, he paused to take in the crisp night air before heading to his car—a sleek, electric vehicle that purred quietly as it sped through the city streets.

Back at his penthouse, Ethan bypassed the living spaces and headed straight to the rooftop. The city stretched out below him, a sea of lights glittering against the dark horizon. Above, the moon hung high and bright, its silvery glow bathing everything in a tranquil light.

Ethan settled into his favorite spot—a lounge chair positioned to face the night sky. He leaned back, closing his eyes, and let the moonlight wash over him.

"Helios," he murmured, "give me a status update on the absorption."

"Moonlight energy absorption is steady," Helios replied. "Based on current projections, your strength will increase by an additional 30 tons within a month if exposure remains consistent."

Ethan opened his eyes, gazing at the luminous orb in the sky. The moon had always held a special significance for him, a source of strength and renewal. Here, in this quiet moment, he could feel its subtle energy coursing through him, fortifying his already formidable abilities.

"It's strange," Ethan mused aloud. "Something so distant, so ancient, yet it feels like a part of me. The more I sit here, the more connected I feel."

"That connection is the foundation of your power," Helios said. "The moon's influence over you is not just physical—it's intrinsic to your very being."

Ethan nodded, letting the AI's words sink in. He stayed on the rooftop for hours, soaking in the moonlight, his mind wandering between the challenges he'd faced and the battles yet to come. Here, under the vast expanse of the night sky, he felt at peace.
