By the next month, Venus was declared habitable by the system, and I had a Gigatonne of V-plate in storage, as well as a Gigatonne of sulfuric acid saved up if I wanted to dissolve a moon or something.
The Black Zero ship and the terraformer engine had moved to Mars and began reshaping the red planet for colonization, while the four Lanterns had transmuted the cold metal core of Mars into a hot core again, and even added more metal for increased gravity.
Patrol Pef had to take charge of the project, so I guess he will be Martian Pef from today onwards.
While I have recruited 40000 Almeracian women with technical skills to help me build a real fleet for the UEF, which meant a lot of love potions had to be made to bring the women to 98/100 Affection rapidly.
From Argo City, only some 400 people decided to join the UEF and help defend their new home, perhaps only the most adventurous. But it was likely the UEF policy of lethal force that dissuaded the rest. We were not a galactic power like Krypton, and couldn't afford to imprison invaders and criminals like they used to.
I knew things will change once the next invaders arrived. They never stopped coming in this strange universe, as Peffy found out just yesterday.
An alien warlord called Mongul had arrived to take over Almerac and gift it to his daughter Mongal as present. The fight with Mongul's Warworld destroyed most of the Almerac's war fleet until Peffy managed to match Mongul in a duel and get his daughter as his wife in return. A tentative peace treaty was created, with Mongul recognizing Peffy's strength and obtaining the Queen rank for his daughter anyways.
Mongal was amazingly strong, and had a pair of giant breasts that could hold our golden dick perfectly between them. The love potions and the alien status doubling the perks ensured the new wife would not betray us, and even enjoyed being plowed by two of us in a hot threesome.
Mongal Wizard was also a capable leader and a good queen, and began helping Peffy rebuilding the Almerac's fleet and defenses with advice and bits advanced tech from the galaxy.
On Earth, Diana had given birth to a demigod daughter called Light Wizard, and taken her Lesser Radiance for extra magic and over-all boost, and returned to the Justice League as a major hero once more.
Peach had decided that Star City was too boring and peaceful, and returned to heroics in Midway City to clean up the place, as the place was almost as bad as Metropolis, if not Gotham.
She called her daughter Melon Wizard, and Mel inside the house, but I knew Mel will be Pumpkin when she grew up a hero. The Fruit Basket never stopped growing.
And a month later, a giant armada of invading aliens stumbled onto Applebase and destroyed it, while heading towards Earth. The aliens were called Yoongar and were quite advanced. Even more than our Daxam ships with their new upgrades.
I could see why Saturn Girl wanted the fleet to fight them at Titan and not near Earth. With so many ships and advanced weapons, some were certain to land hits and devastate the planet.
Lemon had stayed on Applebase almost til the end, while using the mining drones and her energy constructs to fight a losing battle, but it was too little, too late.
Not the self-destruct though. When Applebase was surrounded and pounded to scrap by the invaders, Lemon teleported back home, and the living mothership converted its mass to energy.
I guess more than half of the aliens were dead now, but still heading towards Earth for vengeance and conquest.
"Alert, alert! All personnel to battlestations! We have an incoming invasion fleet." Phobos announced in his best robotic voice, and the UEF fleet began to form up for fleet combat.
The new Venusian ships were larger and stronger but slower, and lined up to form a second line of defense at the Mars perimeter, while the fast fleet departed meet to Yoongar fleet farther away at the edge of the Sol System.
I had Fuerza and Kara at my sides on a faster escort, while Wonder Woman, the Lanterns and Superman flew on the Earth's Hope, the UEF flagship.
The Green Martian and my droid Deimos stayed on Deimos, the moon of Mars which was now the fleet anchorage for the UEF fleet and the Admiralty base for the entire Sol System.
The other Martian moon, Phobos was also militarized, but in a different way. It was a war moon, inspired by the Mongul's Warworld , if far smaller.
"I hope I can make a difference, Grey Wizard." Fuerza spoke while trembling with anticipation.
I just sighed and patted her back for comfort. "The strong nuclear force is trillions of trillions times stronger than gravity. And you also have all my Miracles and Magic itself inside you. You can punch the lights out of suns, not mere warships. Trust in me, who trusts in you, Alexa!" I gave her 'the speech' in a confident voice.
I couldn't use my Lantern powers in the open, not with the four human Lanterns watching me closely. So I would have to use something else.
Kara observed the new hero with cautious eyes. I never praised anyone before, so she knew Alexa had to be special.
"We should fight one day, Fuerza. I already beaten Superman a few times, and only the stupid Wizard can best me now." Supergirl declared in a confident voice.
"...I could break you in half by accident, Supergirl." Alexa whispered in a wary voice.
"She could. I gave her my finger and she broke it." I added with a shrug. Perhaps not the smartest way to make a woman show her strength, but it did work.
Anger a woman enough, and you could get the best or the worst out of her. Sometimes both at once.
Kara showed me the finger in response, which made Alexa giggle and smile. "Exactly like that, Supergirl. But it means a demeaning blowjob..." she explained in a patient voice.
"Oh! That's what it meant..." Supergirl noted and showed me two fingers with two hands. She ate plenty of dick already, so I let it pass.
"Focus on the target, silly. You'll get plenty of blowjobs back home." I answered in a casual voice, making Alexa blush.
"You're not worried at all?" Alexa asked instead.
"What for? This will be the 8th alien invasion for me. All I do is prepare for such things. I was getting a bit bored." I answered with a grin.
"Plus we have Fuerza with us today. If you're quintillions of times stronger than gravity like the Wizard says...there's really nothing to worry about." Supergirl added with a inquiring look towards me.
'She's is actually far stronger than that. Alexa could break a universe in half one day, when she admits her strength. Her mind is simply not ready to accept the truth.' I spoke in Kara's mind, and she just nodded.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
'Thus the Miracles. Give her a reason to blame for her power.' she answered with a weak telepathic voice.
'Anyways, I'm here too. I want to test how the Speed Force works for me.' I whispered in her mind, and her eyes opened wide just as the Yoongar fleet appeared on the main screen.
"Yoongar fleet, you're heading towards Earth, under United Earth Fleet's protection. Lower your shields and prepare to be boarded. Should you resist, know that lethal force will be used upon you, and your technological knowledge will be added to our own. Resistance is futile!" Phobos proclaimed from his Fleet Admiral command throne, making the Justice League heroes frown or cringe.
"Finally, a decent fight! Open fire!" Dak-Sha , the leader of the Yoongar commanded in return, and hail of advanced weapons poured from the invader fleet.
With a magic flick, I transported Alexa and Kara on board the Yoongar flagship, then entered my Adept limit and began butchering the resilient aliens while capturing the ships for my own fleet.
They were warned, now they had to pay the price.
It was too bad for Applebase, but in truth I had a foothold on Almerac now, where Miracle research was state-sponsored by the King himself, and involved millions of alien scientists with access to galactic-level tech and knowledge.
Plus, the mothership served its purpose, giving me enough info to calibrate defenses and shield frequencies to keep the UEF fleet safe. In fact, I should create hundreds of similar bases in the surrounding star systems, to give me advance notice and test the alien invaders.
In 5 seconds, the entire alien armada was captured inside my inventory, leaving only the flagship contested by Fuerza and Supergirl.
Guy Gardener and Superman had boarded the flagship as well to help, while the other three Lanterns maintained protective forcefields around the UEF ships.
All in all, it wasn't a bad fleet combat. Sure, the fourth Lantern broke protocol and had forsaken the defense of fleet in favor of attack, but then I didn't expect much brains from any Lantern.
I only need one Lantern to help after all. The rest were backups.
"Ready to surrender yet?" I asked in a polite voice as Fuerza was punching the alien leader in the mouth over and over with little effect.
As a race, the Yoongar were quite formidable with physical powers, but used stolen and captured tech for their fleet. Vicious and cruel, but not brainiacs these guys.
"Haha! We will never surrender! It is our destiny to rule the stars." Dak-Sha declared in a proud voice, then died as I absorbed his powers and lifeforce with my Dark Magic.
Just like Kryptonians, their race was weak to magic, which made this whole invasion a walk in the park for me. Didn't even have to exceed my Adept limit.
*Ding.
-You have drained the powers and lifeforce of 53 million Yoongar invaders and captured 5300 war ships. You gain +5300 to all attributes beside MAG.

I went to hug my wife, stepping through mounds of carbon dust left behind by Supergirl's Dark Magic release. The whole flagship was filled with carbon dust.
'They were going to kill Paul! Kill or enslave everyone I know and love too. And they weren't going to stop. Not ever.' Kara whispered telepathically in my mind, while sobbing at my chest.
'I know, my love. I can read minds even better than you.' I answered in a kind voice, then she vanished as the Apple Wizard summoned her home and into his arms.
"I did it, Grey Wizard! I proved my strength, right?" Fuerza spoke in a hopeful voice.
"Indeed, you did, Fuerza. You are now the strongest woman alive. But Supergirl is not far behind either. Wonder Woman too. And among the stars, there are always stronger aliens. Stronger than me, stronger than all of Sol System combined. We can never rest, lest we lose all that we love." I answered and showed her the finger again.
Alexa smiled and broke my middle finger without effort, with a simple snap. "Damn idiot! You can't show a lady your finger." she growled cutely.
Guy Gardner coughed to draw attention. "Yes, Green Lantern?" I asked while popping my finger back in place.
"The Yoongar ships...you're taking them for the UEF?" he asked a bit wary.
"All of them except this one. I promised the Queen of Almerac a big ship, and this flagship will do. They lost a lot of ships when Mongul attacked Almerac, you know?" I answered with an easy voice, while Fuerza came to stand by me and hold my hand.
"You defeated even his Warworld?" Gardner exclaimed in surprise.
"Not at all. Had a duel with the guy and we were evenly matched. Then we had a lot of drinks and called it a peace. But the Almeracian fleet is still crippled." I said in a casual voice.
"Hmmm. So you're not all-powerful yet, Grey Wizard. Even this girl can break your fingers..." he mused in a thoughtful voice.
"Nobody is all-powerful, Green Lantern. I still have plenty of weakness to shed, if less than Superman here. I bet Fuerza can beat him easily too." I added for no reason.
Superman flew back a few steps, looking wary. "Perhaps I should take the Radiance, after all. Damn your cheating Miracles..." Superman muttered in a defeated voice.
Guy Gardner watched as I took out a Lesser Radiance and gave it to Superman, while flaring his Oa ring to scan the potion. "It will hurt, but you will become much stronger Superman. Especially with magic. And you see what your cousin did with her Magic." he said while waving a hand and expelling all the dust outside the Yoongar ship, leaving it clean and pristine.
I entered the Fighter limit for a millisecond to store the ship and retreat a little, when Superman exploded in pain and divine radiance.
Far better for my ears too, as space didn't transmit sound too well. Superman must have howled his heart out, while his eyes flared with a twin beam of deadly light.
Peffy took his gift flagship and gave it to Maxima, making our Queen even happier. Plenty of advanced tech to reverse-engineer by her people, and create better ships for the next time they got invaded.
As the UEF ships flew back towards the Sol System, a D'amsi_Shuttle left cloaking and came to analyze the remains of the battle.
"Send word to the Cooperative. Earth is now a galactic power. We can establish trade and relations with a civilization able to best the Yoongar so thoroughly. There's only dust left of their ships." the pilot ordered with a curious yet wary voice.
