One year was a very short time I had for all the things I had to do but I made too many enemies here and while I was not afraid of the likes of Lucifer, the Endless, or even the Presence, I could not say the same for my family.
I had to increase my power to uphold my tight schedule.
The first thing was White Rabbit, catching her was not hard and her disappearance went largely unnoticed except by her other body but what could she do, she couldn't just go to the police and say her other half who committed crimes for her got kidnapped.
Next was finding two beings somewhere in the universe. I was going to go full Sun Wukong style and gather countless versions of immortality, you can never have enough of it. The search for Doomsday proved a lot harder than Lobo's since I could just put a fake bounty on my head but in the end, I managed to get both of them.
While I was out there searching for them, I decided to do my first good deed in a long, long time and destroyed the base of the evil Smurfs that manipulated the universe and acted as its heroes at the same time. I rarely did something good and I was immediately reminded why as the entire Green Lantern Corps hunted me down for destroying Oa and killing all guardians.
Being good truly was a thankless job and I did not intend to do this again anytime soon. All this talk about doing the right thing and when you do you become a universally wanted criminal.
These small fries aside, my next stop was the Lego Universe. I was very interested in the Toon Force, it could be ridiculously overpowered if you use it right but I better shrink down to their size, I shouldn't be able to feel any pain from stepping on Lego but who knows what the Toon Force will do to make it comical.
Upon entry, I immediately felt something trying to change my body into Lego. It felt similar to back when I entered Minecraft and got pixelated but I was not here to play this time so I refused its attempts to change me and instead absorbed it.
Obtaining the full Toon Force made me realize just how complicated this shit was, it was the very anti-thesis to logic, making it very hard to use for normal beings but I was neither normal nor did I operate on logic.
I also collected the Lego figures of Raven, Zatana, and Black Canary. I saw no problem with kidnapping the Lego version of my daughter's friend and I was not going to let the two skimpy dressed heroines get away scot-free.
You might be wondering why I was suddenly collecting women like some Pokemon harem protagonist and the answer was simple, I needed something to pass the time with. I wasn't going to go straight to another reality while my pet was being the greatest pain anything could ever be and I was going to stay in the Tower for a long time and aid her as much as I could.
I would probably be holed up in the Tower for at least a thousand years and I needed something to take my mind off my suffering pet. Once Niddy recovered, they would have no use anymore and would likely be killed, handed over to some of my servants to have fun with, whether sexually or to satisfy their sadistic desires, or I would just turn them into statues and open a new collection.
That just left me with two visits, one was someone I was going to kill while I was genuinely hoping for the other one to not end up in a fight.
Darkseid and I had a few things in common, both of us were immensely powerful and large entities that couldn't enter a universe without destroying it, we were both constantly searching for more power, we both sent avatars to universes to do our bidding, and we both had a special energy, the very reason why I was coming after him now. The only thing setting us apart was my lack of interest in ruling or taking everyone's free will.
The Omega Effect was not too impressive but its what allowed him to become who he was now and I would not look down on that, even if it was only a small part of the true Omega Effect, it would be enough for me to replicate the whole thing.
I wanted this to be as quick as possible, so I stopped a few lightyears away from Apokolips to find his exact location before flying at him FTL, grabbing him by the head before flying him through his own planet's core and coming out from the other side.
While it did destroy his planet, it only gave him a few scratches and dazed him but that was enough time for me to summon my axe and split his head in two.
With the small addition to my power, it was time for my last stop before I was ready to leave.
My goal this time was a piano bar in Los Angeles, hardly anyone would think that this bar was owned by one of the most powerful beings of this reality.
Time to cross drinking with the devil from my to-do list.
