Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

Carl was slightly surprised by what Spider Girl said.

In his memory, Spider Girl only ever acted this cheerful and energetic when she was alone.

When interacting with others, she was always cautious and formal.

But this…

He didn't overthink it, probably just because they'd chatted in the group before.

Still, this version of Spider Girl had clearly activated a "beauty filter."

She looked like her anime self: big bright eyes, and a pair of bunny-ear-like things on top of her head.

『Carl』: Spider Girl, Itadori, hello!

At that moment, Spider Girl stared at Carl in utter shock.

『Spider Girl』: You can understand me, Carl-sama!?

『Carl』 (puzzled): Of course I can.

『Tsunade』: Not just Carl-kun. I can understand you too.

『Itadori Yuji』 (raising his hand): Um… me too.

『Spider Girl』 (covering her face shyly): That shouldn't be possible…

『Spider Girl』: Back in the labyrinth, even talking to other monsters was difficult.

『Spider Girl』: And with humans, I couldn't communicate at all.

『Spider Girl』: There's no reason I should be able to talk to you now…

『Spider Girl』: I thought no one could understand me!

Her voice was soft, so much so that Tsunade and Itadori couldn't hear her clearly.

But Carl could.

As he thought, her personality was exactly how he imagined it.

He smiled and gently explained:

『Carl』: I think this is one of the group chat's functions.

『Carl』: After all, we're from different worlds.

『Carl』: It would be ridiculous if we couldn't communicate after meeting up, right?

『Spider Girl』: I-I guess you're right…

『Spider Girl』: The chat group is so considerate!

Halfway through her sentence, Spider Girl suddenly realized,

Wait. Had Carl heard what she said earlier!?

Thinking that, she turned red all over again.

After all, in her own world…

She was an indoor girl through and through.

She wasn't exactly afraid of people, but she rarely spoke with anyone.

When talking to others, she should sound more formal, right?

The way she just spoke was… way too casual.

Embarrassed, Spider Girl squatted down and went quiet.

Carl just smiled and didn't push the issue.

Tsunade also remained silent, standing beside Carl with a gentle smile on her face.

,

At that moment, Carl's attention shifted to the ongoing fight between the Special-grade Curse and Tsukasa Kadoya.

With his super vision, he could clearly see their movements.

Tsukasa had the upper hand in almost every exchange.

But even so, the Special-grade Curse hadn't taken any critical damage.

『Itadori Yuji』: Um… Superman-san?

『Carl』: Hmm? What is it?

『Itadori Yuji』 (nervous): Ah!

Of course he was nervous.

Superman comics and movies were still popular in his world.

Even though Itadori didn't read many comics, he had seen a lot of Superman films.

He knew who Carl was.

This was Superman!

There weren't many boys who didn't idolize Superman growing up.

So of course Itadori was a little anxious.

At first, when he saw Spider Girl asking Carl about "Superman" in the chat group, he didn't really get it.

He didn't know "God Among Men" was a title referring to Superman.

But now, everything made sense.

Although…

This version of Superman was a little different from what he'd imagined.

Still, being from Japan, Itadori naturally felt more at ease seeing a Superman with black hair and black eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

『Itadori Yuji』: I-it's nothing, really…

『Itadori Yuji』: I just wanted to ask… why are you all here?

『Itadori Yuji』: Wasn't this task for Kamen Rider?

『Carl』: Oh, he called us here.

『Carl』: Apparently, group tasks can be completed by multiple people.

『Itadori Yuji』: I see…

He finally understood.

But once the topic of the task came up again, Itadori grew tense.

『Itadori Yuji』: Superman-san…

『Itadori Yuji』: This Special-grade Curse can only be hurt using cursed energy.

『Itadori Yuji』: That's why Kamen Rider's attacks aren't very effective.

『Carl』 (nodding): I figured as much.

He remembered that this world had such a rule.

Cursed energy, the special power of this world.

Curses were born from human negative emotions.

And since Carl wasn't from this world, he wasn't sure if Tsukasa and the others could even use cursed energy.

But he never once doubted that he could.

After all, he had the Silver Superman Template.

The Silver Superman was notorious for having no limits.

If he wanted a power, he'd just have it.

Two seconds later…

Carl had already mastered cursed energy.

,

Meanwhile, Spider Girl had recovered from her embarrassment.

She also noticed that Decade was still fighting the Special-grade Curse.

『Spider Girl』: So that's a Special-grade Curse?

『Spider Girl』: Another ugly monster.

『Spider Girl』: Even worse than frogs or snakes. It may look humanoid, but that thing's hideous.

『Spider Girl』: Doesn't even look tasty.

She was still a little embarrassed that Carl had heard everything she said earlier.

So instead of lingering by his side, she trotted over on her eight legs to the area where Tsukasa was fighting the curse.

When she got close enough,

"Psssh!"

A strand of web shot out!

But…

The silk hit the ground.

She missed.

The Special-grade Curse was simply too fast.

『Spider Girl』: What the heck!?

『Spider Girl』: I can't even see it move!

Startled, she quickly used her Appraise skill on the cursed spirit.

???

『Spider Girl』: Its level is so high!? I can't even appraise it?

At that moment, Tsukasa noticed Carl and the others had arrived.

After all, he was handling the fight pretty easily.

With the power of Kabuto's Clock Up, the enemy couldn't even touch him.

He landed a powerful kick, slamming the Curse into a wall.

『Tsukasa Kadoya』: Carl-sama! Give me a hand, I can't finish this thing alone!

『Carl』: I'm coming.

After all, part of the reason he came to this world was to complete this task.

He had already obtained cursed energy. He was just about to act earlier…

…but when he saw Spider Girl try first, he decided to hold back for a moment.

『Itadori Yuji』: Superman-san, you need to use jujutsu, or the curse won't go down!

Just as Itadori finished shouting that warning,
