DxD: THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER WITH SYSTEM

"OH NO! Supergirl showed up! And she said you're lying, what are you going to do, Zaydas?" Harley Quinn said dramatically before laughing and winking at Zaydas.

Normally, when someone like Supergirl appears like that, even in a restaurant, there's no way to ignore it. But strangely, no one seemed to notice them, even with such a scene happening.

"You're here. Why didn't you say so?" Zaydas said. "Sit with us, dear."

"Don't call me dear!" She lunged forward, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up.

However, when she tried to lift him off the ground, it was as if she were trying to lift an incredibly heavy mountain.

Even at this moment, Zaydas was giving her a cheeky smile, which made her want to punch him in the face.

Pushing him away, she pulled out a chair and sat down, looking helplessly as she saw Harley—God knows where she got it from—eating popcorn as if she were watching a great show.

"Are you done? How boring~" Harley tossed a piece of popcorn into her mouth, chewing aggressively.

"Harley, you..." Supergirl looked at her for two seconds before sighing. Deep down, she knew she shouldn't expect much from Harley helping her.

Then, Supergirl looked angrily at Zaydas. "What did you do?"

"Be more specific. I did so many things just today, like waking up early, taking a shower, doing number two, having breakfast, etc.," Zaydas replied with an intriguing smile. "Which one would you like to know more about?"

"Don't play dumb!" Supergirl raised her voice slightly but soon lowered it, almost whispering: "I'm talking about the people around us... Why does it seem like they don't notice us?"

"Ohh, it's just a simple spell I cast," Zaydas said as if it were nothing. "This magic diverts attention away from our direction, no matter what we do. Of course, special people will still notice, just like you were the only one who noticed me and Harley."

"So that's it..." Supergirl nodded. Then, she frowned again. "Why did you lie, saying I'm your g-girlfriend? You even had the audacity to say I was chasing you!"

"Wasn't it true?" Zaydas replied. "Aside from the part about us dating, aren't you a little too obsessed with me?"

"Never!" She denied it but looked away.

"Hahaha, you don't sound very convincing, Supergirl~!" Harley laughed loudly.

'Are you my friend or not? Come on, why don't you take my side at times like this?' Supergirl thought, frustrated by Harley's reaction.

"WEEEEE-OOOOOO, WEEEEE-OOOOOO!"

"Damn it, right now?!"

Hearing the monster/villain alert, Supergirl stood up. Zaydas removed the barrier that diverted attention from them.

Initially afraid, the moment they saw Harley Quinn and Supergirl together, the fear they felt turned into hope.

Mainly Harley Quinn, who made them feel more relieved. Although Supergirl is strong and a good heroine, she doesn't kill even the Second Phase monsters, and that's a problem.

The manager, who was about to press the button to lower the steel walls, stopped: "Supergirl, Harley Quinn, please leave quickly!"

"Yes, yes~" Harley replied cheerfully, standing up.

When she got outside, she materialized a huge hammer, resting it on her shoulder.

Supergirl followed right after, flying outside, and Zaydas also left without anyone noticing him.

Seeing the two wearing uniforms, he thought for a moment, then used his Demonic Power to transform his outfit into a black and red uniformed attire with a cape made of Destruction Power and a crown.

On his chest, a "King" chess piece symbol became visible. Over his eyes, there was a mask made of Destruction Power covering them.

'My Demonic Power consumption in this form is 0.1% per minute.' This could be seen as a bad thing, or not so much. It all depended on how long he would fight someone.

However, since he decided to assume a different identity while acting as a "hero," he also wanted it to be something that could help him improve himself. The constant use of Destruction Power could enhance his control over it. And this was only possible thanks to the training he had while creating ice shields with hidden Destruction Power inside.

"Wow! Not bad, Zaydas~" Harley whistled as soon as she saw his current appearance.

"Call me 'The Traveler' while I'm in this form, Harley," Zaydas told her.

"The Traveler?" Supergirl murmured.

The truth was that she had been so distracted before by all the nonsense he had said that she had even forgotten the purpose of chasing him.

Yes, she wanted to know what he had done with the Fake Supergirl!

However, now they were in another complicated situation where it wasn't the right time to ask that.

Meanwhile, entering the city, hundreds of non-human-looking monsters, some with slightly human-like features.

Among them, one stood out the most. It had a humanoid appearance, with the face of a terrifying witch—like those described to scare children—a large nose, a face covered in warts, and disheveled hair. In each hand, it held a puppet controller.

The strings simply disappeared after descending about 10 cm, but with just a simple movement of the monster's hand, the hundreds of monsters moved.

"It's the Puppeteer!" Supergirl became alarmed, almost breaking into a cold sweat.

The Puppeteer's power was no joke. She could even be seen as more dangerous than the Fake Supergirl.

"KYAHAhahaha!"

Harley jumped, activating her backpack, and spun in the air while her laughter echoed. She said loudly, "This is exciting! So this is what Z... The Traveler was talking about before~!"

"Harley, what do you mean The Traveler talked about this before?" Supergirl asked.

Zaydas, standing beside them, had a strange expression as he thought: 'This is just a coincidence… How would I know that the Puppeteer would decide to attack this city right now?'

"Hahaha." Laughing, Harley spoke cheerfully, "Not long ago, Zay... The Traveler said he was going to deal with the Puppeteer~"

Of course, there was the part where he said he was going to her lair, but Harley thought he was lying about that part, so she left it out.

When Supergirl looked at Zaydas, her expression was that of someone saying, 'How did you know?'

"Don't look at me like that, we don't even have time for this now, save it for later." Zaydas pointed to the monsters that had started attacking buildings and stores. "We need to act fast, right?"

"You're right." Supergirl immediately flew toward the monsters controlled by the Puppeteer.

"Ready or not, here I go~~!" Spinning her giant hammer in her hands, Harley Quinn flew forward as well.

As Zaydas started flying, the cape made of Destruction Power fluttered in a somewhat mystical way.

'I wonder if, just like with superheroes, someone will try to grab me by my cape…'

However, there was a concerning downside: What if it was an ally?

Not every situation meant an enemy would be the one trying to grab his cape. Someone like Harley had a high chance of doing it for various reasons.

'I'll think of something later...'

When he saw a hybrid of a crocodile-lizard climbing a building close to him, Zaydas extended his hand, making it float in the air. As he slowly closed his hand, an invisible force began squeezing the green crocodile-lizard until it was crushed into a ball.

"No!!" Supergirl shouted after using her freezing breath on a giant gorilla-bear creature.

"Supergirl, even this, you want to stop me from killing?" Zaydas said loudly. "Don't forget, this is now just an irrational animal that wants nothing more than to destroy everything in front of it!"

"Boom!"

"Harley..." Supergirl saw that even her friend had just crushed the head of one of the flying monsters with her giant hammer and felt conflicted.

"Supergirl, I respect your sense of justice, but don't try to force others to follow your way of thinking." In one of the rare moments, Harley Quinn spoke seriously. "I'm going to kill every monster that gets in my way. After all, they're monsters, not people. Even those who were once people—they aren't anymore!"

"..."

Supergirl remained silent, but whether she agreed with Harley Quinn's way of thinking or not was uncertain.
