Damian arrived at his house with Carol after leaving the Spartans to take care of the place. He wasn't too worried about Ka-zar; he felt like he had genuinely surrendered.

"You fought well," Damian said, wrapping his arm around Carol's neck.

"It felt a bit nostalgic to fight as a team, except this time I was the commander," Carol replied, smiling as she leaned against Damian.

"Do you want to get some ice cream?" Damian asked, smiling at her.

"I'll take a quick shower. Let the girls know," Carol nodded, leaving a kiss on Damian's hand that was near her face before rushing to the bedroom.

Damian smiled slightly before walking into the living room, where Sophia was watching the news.

"Hello," Damian greeted her.

"Hi, how did it go?" Sophia asked with a smile.

"It went well," Damian nodded, sitting down next to Sophia and taking her hand.

Sophia smiled at him, resting her head against Damian's shoulder.

"Lately, you've been quite popular in the news," Sophia said, looking at the television.

On television, a reporter was discussing Tony Stark and his supposed post-traumatic stress.

"They say he hasn't been seen in four months," Sophia remarked.

"He should be fine. I think he's just busy," Damian laughed.

"If you say so," Sophia shrugged.

"Do you want to get some ice cream?" Damian asked.

"Sure," Sophia nodded.

"I'll go get the girls," Damian said, leaving a kiss on Sophia's cheek before getting up and heading to the garden.

Damian walked to the garden and saw his three daughters playing with water guns. They were already soaked, laughing, and enjoying themselves.

Leaning against the doorframe, Damian watched them with a smile.

He observed their movements and laughter in slow motion, unable to shake the feeling that time was passing too quickly.

With a sigh, Damian put on a smile and approached his daughters.

Upon seeing him, the three girls wore mischievous smiles and pointed their water guns at him.

Damian also gave them a mischievous smile before conjuring a water Gatling gun.

The three girls were shocked, but then they started running towards the trees in the garden to hide.

Damian chuckled as he began firing, the cylinder spinning rapidly and sending multiple streams of water crashing against the little girls.

Alice received several shots on her backside and looked at her daddy with a sad expression before making a fist and firing a cosmic beam at Damian's weapon.

The weapon instantly turned into magical particles and disappeared; it was just a small magical construct.

Seeing that he no longer had a weapon, the three girls turned back and started spraying water at their father.

Damian was surprised by Alice's ray, but he also started running around the garden, trying to dodge the water jets.

After several minutes of playing, all four of them were completely drenched but smiling.

"You cheated by creating such a big weapon," Alice complained once they finished playing.

"Yeah, Daddy, that's not fair. You have to create weapons for us too. I want a tank that shoots a water ball," Ivy said, looking at him.

"I want a helicopter," Emma said, smiling slightly.

"What about you? Do you want a spaceship?" Damian asked Alice, teasing her, knowing she was about to say something.

''How about another day I make a tank for the three of you? It's not easy to handle and requires you to work together,'' said Damian convincingly.

"And I'll take you out for ice cream," Damian said, smiling.

"I suppose that's barely acceptable," Alice laughed.

Her sisters nodded as if it were a barely profitable business, but there were big smiles on their faces.

"Alright, let's dry off," Damian said, lifting his daughters and carrying them in his arms.

"You're getting bigger and bigger. What will I do when I can't carry all of you?" Damian feigned sadness.

The three girls laughed and hugged their father tightly.

Damian took the girls to their room and gave them a quick magical bath to speed things up.

Then he dressed them before bringing them back downstairs.

In the living room, the whole family was already gathered. Damian was speechless to see that even Monica and Jane were there.

"Papa!" Monica exclaimed, hugging Damian tightly and squeezing her sisters.

"How are you, sweetheart?" Damian asked, kissing Monica's head.

"I'm good. We'll be staying at home for a while with Jane," Monica said, glancing at her sisters.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"How are you, girls? Your older sister came to visit," Monica proudly announced with a smile.

Damian let the girls talk to their sister and approached Jane to greet her.

"How are you?" Damian asked Jane, smiling.

"I'm fine. I found something interesting to do," Jane replied, smiling.

"I'm going to New Mexico. There are some interesting readings in that area," Jane said.

"Oh, and do you have a place to stay?" Damian asked, surprised to hear that. He didn't think she would keep going to that place.

"Yes, I bought a place. They're remodeling it, so I'll stay here for a few days," said Jane.

"I'm glad. Remember, you can always ask for my help," Damian said, stroking Jane's hair.

Jane simply looked at Damian with a smile. She could never thank him enough for what he had done for her.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," Ophelia said, picking up Ivy in her arms.

"Let's go," Damian nodded.

Everyone arrived at the garage. There were 11 people, including the girls, so they would need two cars.

Carol chose a sportier car and got in with Sophia, Monica, and Jane.

Damian took a larger SUV so that Ophelia, Ana, and Natasha could be comfortable with the girls.

"Let's have a race," Carol said, smiling provocatively at Damian.

"I'm taking the girls," Damian refused.

"Oh, come on. Even if a nuclear bomb dropped, nothing would happen to them with your protection, let alone a crash," Carol said, not accepting his excuse.

"Or are you afraid you won't be able to beat me without powers like back then?" Carol teased.

Damian tried not to show surprise as he looked at Carol, speechless.

"Do you think I didn't know? When I regained my memory, I tested the car many times, and it's impossible for it to reach the speeds you achieved with the modifications it has," Carol laughed.

"You win, let's do it," Damian said, annoyed.

"Since my car is sportier, I'll give you a head start, even though your car is also modified, and I don't think it's much slower than mine," Carol said confidently, smiling.

Damian sighed before nodding.

"Go ahead, I'll give you a 15-second head start," Carol said.

"Wow, someone is giving you a head start. You even have those days," Ophelia said, trying to hold back laughter.

The three little girls looked somewhat confused, not fully understanding what was happening.

Damian didn't respond and just accelerated at full speed.

"If you want to cheat, we won't tell anyone, but that kind of example is not set for a child," Ophelia said, shaking her head.

"I think it's time to get you a room in the house," Damian said, looking at Ophelia, who was instantly defeated and remained silent.

Damian drove recklessly and disregarded traffic lights. He had to win; otherwise, Carol wouldn't let him forget it.

"And I didn't cheat. I just used what was available," Damian muttered, annoyed.

Damian continued driving and smiled slightly when he saw the ice cream shop at the end of the street, only to freeze when he saw a sports car already parked.

Damian wondered if he should just turn around and go back home.

The three women in the car were laughing at Damian's expression. The girls didn't know what was going on, but seeing their mothers laughing, they laughed along because their father's face was funny.

Without any other option, Damian parked the car behind Carol's and got out expressionless.

Carol, with Sophia, Monica, and Jane, was already seated at a large table, greeting him with a smile.

Damian approached with his group and sat at the table. Carol patted the chair beside her with her hand as she looked at Damian.

With no other choice, he sat next to her, assuming that the loser had no right to complain.

"Darling, you owe me a date. I'd like to start with you feeding me," Carol said, smiling as she took Damian's hand.

Damian couldn't help but laugh slightly at Carol telling him he owed her a date.

It reminded him of when he "tricked" her into going on a date.

At that moment, a waitress approached to take their order.

The waitress patiently wrote down the ice cream flavors each person wanted before going to have them prepared.

Everyone engaged in small conversations while waiting for the ice cream to be served.

"Don't think I don't know you cheated. You probably enhanced the vehicle with your energy," Damian said, looking at Carol with a faint smile.

"How do you know that?" Carol asked, surprised. She had never shown it to Damian.

"Of course, I know everything about you," Damian whispered in Carol's ear.

Carol pouted as she looked at Damian flirtatiously.

"We're in public, at least wait until we get home. It will be all over the news," Ana said, looking at them.

"They've never seen a beautiful woman flirt before?" Carol asked, looking disdainfully at Ana.

Before Ana could respond to Carol, two employees arrived with trays filled with ice cream.

They quickly distributed the ice cream before leaving.

Carol glanced at Damian and pointed at the ice cream. With no other choice, Damian took Carol's ice cream and spoon-fed her.

Carol smiled happily as Damian fed her, enjoying the sight of his enchanting red eyes fixed on her.

Carol pressed her lips against the spoon, leaving it clean as she flirtatiously looked at Damian.

Damian sighed before activating his magic circle and erasing any trace of that scene from the multiple cameras that were pointed at them from a distance.

"Darling, that's enough," Damian said, smiling at her before starting to eat his own slightly melted ice cream, which he preferred that way.

Everyone finished their ice cream and returned home happily. It was the first time they had all gone out together, so it was a pleasant moment.

Once they arrived home, everyone went about their own activities.

Mónica pulled Carol to play on the console.

Jane simply lay on the couch, using her phone.

Their daughters seemed to have their own plans as they ran to the garden.

Ana chased after the girls with Natasha watching over them, and it's unclear where Ophelia went.

Damian took advantage of the moment to disappear and appear in outer space.

Throughout the past month, he had been learning and researching more about his magic, and he felt it was time to take a step forward.

Sending a significant amount of blood to his magic, he began creating an even larger magic circle.

Damian began writing the incantation as the magic circle slowly solidified.

Once the incantation was completed, the letters shone before a crimson-red circle the size of a vinyl disc formed, rotating with a terrifying glow.

Damian invoked both magic circles at the same time, with the larger one appearing first, followed by the smaller one.

Both overlapped, although one was more than twice the size of the other.

Damian conducted the same experiment as before and created a fireball.

Both magic circles shone, creating a fireball the size of a yoga ball that traveled a great distance before extinguishing due to a lack of oxygen.

Damian looked at the spinning magic circles in his hand and concluded that each circle amplifies the spells, and it's not as simple as doubling the power.

Damian teleported to Antarctica and went to a very secluded place. Now he had to test the limits of this magic system.

Damian pointed his hand towards the sky, and the magic circles spun before creating a massive storm that struck the ground with lightning.

As Damian added more magic, the storm grew larger, and the number of lightning strikes increased.

It was a truly impressive sight.

Lowering his hand, Damian canceled the spell before contemplating something more significant.

Damian thought for a moment before extending his hand and attempting to create a black hole.

Theoretically, it is impossible, but it's just an experiment.

The magic circles glowed intensely before shattering, causing Damian's entire arm to disappear.

Damian looked at his arm, which was reconstructed almost instantly. He couldn't help but be speechless. Advancing in magic is truly dangerous. If it weren't for his immortality, who knows how many lives it would have cost him to get where he is?

Damian extended his arm again, using his magic circles to transform ice into the sand.

Damian looked satisfied with his action before transforming the sand into butterflies.

"Transmutation doesn't seem to be a problem either," Damian murmured as he watched the butterflies fly away.

Damian activated his magic circles again, trying to turn a piece of ice into a dinosaur.

His magic circles faltered, fracturing in some areas, and creating an ice sculpture of a dinosaur.

Damian frowned, feeling the pain of overloading his magic circles.

"At least you could have exploded; it would be less painful," Damian muttered, annoyed.

With his current known limits, Damian prepared to return home.

For now, his magical powers are more practical than anything else, as his familiars surpass him by far in offensive capability.

Damian teleported back home and spent the rest of the day with his family.
