Yes The First Evil is free to act due to the imbalance created by the Overlord and you won't see The First doing much in Buffy's world because its plans for that world required the Sunnydale Hellmouth which is now buried.

Wow when you review you really do review. Just to let you know I do have a forum (link is on my profile page) if you want to discuss things as answering long reviews this way tends to take up a lot of space.
I found it easy to update Overlord Gothic because unlike my other stories this one seems to be writing itself. Its as if the story just flows out of me onto the screen. I was told by a real writer that once in a while this happens I've only slowed down because my niece needs babysitting so much and because other stories want to leave my brain.
The WR&H war was mostly about the Overlord getting in over his head. Losing so much forced him to go and get more power which leads him to the actions taking place in this chapter. Its clear to the Overlord because of that war that he needs to become a god and get better Mistresses.
As for the Nine Divines well as Qui Gon said. "There's always a bigger fish" or bigger gods in this case.
Don't worry about the Buffy verse its not so important now. The Overlord interests are focused elsewhere now. He's moving up the big leagues.
Worlds were lost to keep the story going. If he just kept winning all the time the story would get dull like many self inserts.
However that isn't to say he has forgotten about them. The Overlord's desire for conquest will never be sated and so all worlds are targets for him.
I am right now (or I will by the time this chapter goes up) writing a sort of Overlord Codex that will include information on each Mistresses and what they are up to.
I will write some more Mistress POVs but the Charmed Ones are stay at home mummys now so that wouldn't make for fun reading. As for Illyria she's building an army worthy of Mordor , I think the expression is and she'd had quite a lot of 'screen time' as it were already.
Wonder Woman will have her part in this story just not a long one. The Overlord is about to get a lot more powerful and she's a part of that.
The Justice League will fall don't worry there is a truly epic battle heading our way.
Merlin and Arthur were killed off screen. But given how powerful the Overlord was at that point it wouldn't even be worth mentioning. But I will mention it.
I didn't want to focus on that part of the story really as at the time it was about making Morgana what Bellatrix is for Lord Voldemort but she's not up to playing the big leagues now is better off just ruling a conquered Camealot.
The godhood stuff is tricky as different verses have different rules. But from what I recall and researched it seems like the gods in Xena seemed to want worship but Areas is still around long after he's no longer worshipped so I assumed that worship was a boost but not actually a requirement.
However the Greek gods in Xena were not all powerful. They could be killed by certain things and while even Hercules didn't really seem to hurt them he could knock them around quite a bit so they weren't so powerful as to make to easy for the Overlord when he became one.
So in short worshippers give him extra juice and the more worshippers there are the more energised he is.
I'll add the needed information on worlds and races to the codex. It might take me a bit to get it all together but it should clear things up quite a bit.
Overlord Gothic. Book Two. Part 12.
The Dark Palace. Overlord's Throne Room.
The leather clad Dark Mistress's high heel shoes clacked against the stone flooring as she entered my throne room.
Behind her followed two young large breasted women with long blonde hair. They both wore leather as well but far less of it. The bikini style outfights hardly covered anything at all and black cape attached by the shoulder pads did nothing to hide their near nudity. If the two girls didn't walk with such confidence they might of looked foolish but instead they strode with purpose uncaring about being so exposed.
"Your two new Mistresses are ready to serve my lord" reported the half-demon torturer.
On cue the two ladies walked towards me and when they stood before they both dropped to one knee and said.
"What is your bidding, Master"
I had to struggle to stop myself from grinning like an idiot. I had good reason to grin but it wouldn't give the right impression to my newest servants, not that their impressions mattered but I'd feel foolish.
I left the two super humans kneeling on the floor and addressed the Dark Mistress.
"You and your sisters have done well and will rewarded with new instruments to use and more exotic subjects to play with"
They'd done very well indeed. In record breaking time they had not only broke the wills of two very powerful young women, using magic and torture but had also made them ready for their new role. I would indeed reward them for this very well.
"Now leave us".
The Dark Mistress turned and left closing the doors behind her knowing my desire for privacy. Sadly Faith didn't share it as she simply appeared by my throne in a display of lights and was about to say something when she noticed the nearly nude women on the floor.
"Identical twins!" she said with a laugh "Tres kinky boss".
"Actually one of them is a clone" I corrected "although I don't know which".
A lot of magic had been used on the two kneeling figures before making them match perfectly but this turned out to be a mistake as I now couldn't tell them apart. But I suppose it didn't matter much I'd just have them put different symbols on the cloaks or something so I could tell them apart.
Faith gave me a look which displayed confusion.
"There both Supergirl" I explained.
Something in Faith clicked.
"As in Superman's cousin?".
I nodded and was somewhat impressed that she knew that.
The former Slayer turned god stepped down from beside the throne and examined the twins.
"I like the outfit" she remarked "Goes nicely with the big tits".
"I decided that the leaders of my legions should look the part, plus there easy to take off".
Faith looked at her rather dull clothing (well dull compared to ornate robes I was wearing) and shape shifted herself so her outfit matched theirs.
"Need bigger boobs" she commented and made her bra size go up.
She then span on the spot and asked.
"How do I look?".
"Great" I replied "I want you to keep wearing it when your in the Palace or in battle with me".
Knowing that was a order she nodded and changed the subject.
"I just came by to tell you that were up to five Slayers now. I found one one in Cleveland of all places, this morning".
Seemed odd that she would barge in her just to deliver such trivial news and I knew she didn't want sex as she was always upfront about that. Perhaps she was just bored as immortals like us needed little in the way of sleep and that led to spending the late night hours anyway you could.
Normally I kept myself amused by either fucking, killing things or furthering my evil schemes. All were good ways pass the time.
"So is there a reason why you have two Supergirls working for you? quried Faith "or did you just want to bang twins cause I can shape shift to look like one of your other girl you know, all you had to do is ask".
That idea had crossed my mind but it had little to with why I'd had these two aliens brought into my service.
"These two girls are here because I have an idea on how to pay off all my debts in one go" I explained. "I'm in quite a bit of debt and these ladies are going to steal me a lot of gold".
The reason I hadn't just stolen a lot of gold to pay off my debts before now was because it the economy of the Pan-Dimensional Marketplace would be greatly effected if I simply brought in a lot of gold. It would devalue the metal to the point were I would need metric of the stuff to pay of my debts.
But if I was going to return to my days of conquest I needed to pay off my debts now so I could start buying newer and better troops.
Granted I'd likely end up having to pay even more than planned if I brought in a lot of gold but happily there were several places on each Earth I had access to that kept tons of gold stored away.
Normally I wouldn't dream of breaking into those kinds of places as while my Elves, Orcs and minions were quite fearsome warriors by the standards of places like Tamriel and Middle Earth. They wouldn't last long against a modern well equipped army.
Which is why 20th and 21st Earths don't get invaded by magical medieval armies. There's simply no profit in it and would likely only result in a modern human army counter attacking whatever world foolish enough to try and invade.
"Steal gold huh" said Faith "I'd of gone with having them mud wrestle".
I smiled at Faith.
"That will happen after the mission and I was thinking baby oil rather than mud. Would you like to referee?".
Thinking about it for a few moments I realised that I could make enough money to pay of my debts just by having my two new slaves mud wrestle. The ticket sales alone would net me thousands of dollars more if it was nude.
But the rest of the Justice League might wonder why Supergirl and what would seem to be a twin sister were wrestling in the first place. And I didn't really want to draw that much attention just yet. At least not until I'd made myself powerful enough to match the Leagues' heavy hitters.
It was just a shame I couldn't drain the needed power out of one of the Supergirls still kneeling before me but I couldn't as they had powers due to being kryptonians under Earth's yellow sun rather than because of any sort of magic.
That made me think of the League's other major players. Were any of them superheroes due to magic.
Wait wasn't Wonder Woman's power magical in nature? Or at least partly due to the god made armour she wore?. If so I could drain that and place the power in myself.
Hmm maybe the robbery could wait. I had a new plan.
"Super Girl, Power Girl" I said not really caring which was which. "I have a task for you".
Both blondes perked up and gave me their undivided attention.
"I want you to capture Wonder Women and bring her to me alive. She doesn't have to be in good shape just still breathing, understand?".
"Yes my lord" replied the big breasted twins.
I dismissed the super powered aliens knowing that they had already been told how to return to their world. Now all I had to do was to wait and see if the twins were everything I needed them to be.
The Charmed Verse. The Ruins Of San Francisco.
Piper and Paige moved quietly through the ruins of their city of birth uncaring about the fate of this once great city.
Back before they had turned to evil by the Overlord they would have been moved to tears by the devastation around them but now they didn't care.
They wouldn't of even have bothered to come here if it weren't for their mission. They were here to track down a powerful witch that was according to an informer (well actually a magical demon they'd tortured to death) living in the ruins of a university.
Many cities had been destroyed by the short nuclear war but San Francisco had been sparred as the Titans lived here and even they didn't want to be nuked as even the most powerful of magical creatures died when a nuke went off. So a powerful spell had been used to disable technology in this part of America.
Still the city had been torn done none the less as the Angels from Heaven and Devils from Hell had battled here during the war that had brought about the end of days. Humanity hadn't done well despite the efforts of the Forces Of Good. A lot of the Earth was wreaked now (although not as badly as most post apocalyptic fiction would suggest) and many cities were little more than radioactive pits.
The less developed nations had fared better and the sisters knew this as Rath the spawn of Illyria often visited those parts of this world to gather slaves needed to support the ever growing industry outside of the Overlord controlled civilizations of Camelot and the Dark City.
But none of this concerned Piper and Paige they were here for someone meant for far more than mere enslavement, they were here to capture a fellow Witch so she could be turned to the darkside.
It was all part of plan the three stay a home Mums had come with while taking care of their lord and master's heirs. The plan wasn't a great one it might not actually amount to anything but it was worth a shot.
At its core the idea was to write and cast a spell that would get rid of The First Evil.
The incorporeal entity which boasted to be the first evil in the multi-verse could not be harmed by the physical might or attack directly by magic so the sisters had decided that if the being couldn't be vanquished or other wise destroyed it might be possible to drive away or even somehow contain it.
Such things were possible even if they could only force The First out of a reality one universe at a time it would end the war between The First Evil and the Overlord.
However while it was possible for even a single witch to make slight alterations to reality banishing an evil like The First would take far more than the Power Of Three. This wasn't a demon they were trying to get rid of, it was the thing that had brought demons into existence.
Still The Charmed Ones had high hopes that it might be possible to destroy The First Evil but it if its claims about being the true source of all evil in existence was true it was unlikely that they could destroy it.
So they'd settle for imprisoning The First somewhere far away or at least driving it from the dimensions the Overlord wished to conquer. But if they were to have any chance they'd need more witches, many more likely.
There was also another reason why the magical siblings wanted to build a larger coven.
The Overlord seemed to going after more powerful Mistresses. Women that could turn witches like them in sticky paste with one blow. If the Charmed Ones wanted to keep enjoying the life of wealth and privilege they were now accustomed to, they'd have to find reasons for their boss to keep them around.
If they gathered a coven powerful enough to vanquish or drive off powerful things like The First then the Overlord would not only want to keep them around but would also reward them greatly.
Being Dark Witches the sister craved more of everything. They wanted wealth, power, control and of course more children. Turning evil had changed a lot of things but the desire to have large families. If they wanted more of that they'd have to earn it.
This all led to them combing the ruins of the city looking for a witch called Billie. According to their information she was young, blonde (but only sometimes) and could move things with her mind just like Prue had.
This Billie had slain many demons and even a few devils but she'd hadn't tried to go after the Titans which proved she wasn't stupid at least. Once converted she'd make a fine member of the coven along with the Sunnydale witches and then maybe they could attempt some major spell work.
Moving through the wreaked dorm rooms Paige spied the body of a slain warrior angel. The white and gold armour was a dead give away.
These angels didn't explode or fade away upon death and they were very hard to kill. Judging by the burn marks on the wall this angel had died fighting many demons or perhaps warlocks given that this was suppose to be the home of witch.
With so many whitelighters gone warrior angels had tried to protect the few remaining good witches but for the most part they'd failed.
"Do you think we should try and capture one of these angels?" Paige. "They're really powerful I bet the boss would like to steal their powers".
The angels had some cool powers. Aside from being able to do everything the average Elder could do such as fire lighting from their fingertips. Angels could fly thanks as well thanks to wings that could be hidden and they could bring forth golden weapons from nowhere that were really good at killing evil things. They could even raise humans from the dead and destroy weaker demons simply by touching them.
"If we see one we'll try" decided Piper "but remember were here for Billie".
"Heard of me have ya" said a voice behind them.
Turning around the sisters saw a girl perhaps eighteen or nineteen step out of a broken doorway they had already passed. She wore a wig and sunglasses, clearly trying to hide her looks when fighting.
Rather smart of her really but it would have been smarter to leave this god forsaken place, rather than fight a losing battle against evil. So perhaps she really was a blonde.
A blessed dagger flew through the air but before it could hit anyone Paige called for it and in a shower of dark orbs it appeared in her hand.
Billie's sunglasses hide a look of shock but the way her body move betrayed her surprise.
"Never seen a demon do that before" she commented.
"Were not demons" corrected Piper "were witches like you".
Well technically they were warlocks but to be considered a full warlock you had to kill a witch and steal their active power. The Charmed Ones didn't do that they preferred to gain extra power by wearing enchanted jewellery and learning spells from other worlds. It was just far less messy and they didn't have to go blinking around the world chasing witches. It also meant they could spend more time with their kids.
"Prove it!" shouted the blonde who looked half ready to run for the hills since she knew she was outmatched.
"Let the object of objection become but a dream. As I cause the scene, to be unseen"
Paige's spell caused the rubble and wreckage littering the hallway to disappear. As demons didn't tend to use wicca spells Billie was convinced that these two women were not demons. Of course that didn't mean she didn't think they were evil she knew bad witches could cast such spells.
Piper pulled out her wand and waved it about changing the colours of the walls distracting Billie long enough for a stunning spell to hit her.
"What its just easier than convincing her with words" explained the elder sister. "lets just keep knocking out till we get her to our husband".
Since all three of them were married to the same man the words our husband were heard a lot in the safe house the women lived in, hidden somewhere in the Wizarding World.
Suddenly an angel orbed in, somehow the holy warrior had sensed the witch going down and had come to defend her fellow soldier for the light. There were too few white hats these days and those left always came to each others aid.
"Leave her be, warlocks!" commanded the angel who summoned up a golden sword.
Piper froze the angel but the ice seemed to melt as quickly as it had appeared but it did give Paige time to bring out her darklighter crossbow and fire.
Whitelighters and angels might not be quite the same thing but they shared a few traits and that included whatever it was that caused darklighter arrows to kill them when other arrows would only annoy them.
The arrow hit the angel in the shoulder and the armour there didn't protect well enough. The angel screamed and fell the floor. Paige's arrow were very effective so this meant the sisters had to act fast.
"Grab the angel I'll grab the kid" said Piper.
If the Overlord was going to drain this Angel they had to get it to him fast. The same applied to the witch although she would only be drained enough to make manageable. That needed to be done because you could stun someone so many times before their hearts stopped betting so they couldn't keep her knocked out for to long.
So without delay the sisters blinked out and headed for the Gate that would get them to their lord and master.
The Kingdom Of Camelot. Breeding Pits.
The sounds of industry and pain filled the air as the armies of the Overlord grew in numbers. Below Illyria, Orcs of different kinds were being breed in great numbers in order to supply the former God-King with the troops her lord required.
Even from the tower overlooking the breeding pits Illyria could see the work going on below.
Arms and amour were pounded into shape made from metals brought it from other parts of this world. The ore dug up in nearby mines was not of great quality and the items produced were crude but that didn't matter. The Orcs were after all simple troops meant to crush the enemy under the weight of their numbers and die in service of their betters.
And numbers they had.
Below hundreds upon hundreds of Orcs were painfully being brought into the worlds after being grown in wombs made of mud and magic.
Lesser breeds would cut these sacks of muck open and then examine the beasts that emerged. If the creature was not fit to fight it was killed and consumed by its healthier kin.
As the Orcs had a taste for meat herds of cattle were raised by the slaves and then slaughtered to provide meat for the monsters made below. This required that slaves and animals brought here from all over this world and beyond but as Illyria and her spawn could open portals that work was made easy.
It wasn't just Orcs and human slaves at work either. There were other races here. Elves that the Overlord had ordered created did their jobs as well.
Dark Elves scouted the wilderness looking for more settlements that needed conquering. Now and again the Overlord would come and take one of these villages into his kingdom using minions to guard them. But most of the time Orcs would be sent to capture the humans so they would become slaves working at the fields, quarries and mines that fed the industry here.
There were Guard Elves here to keeping the Queen of Camelot safe even Illyria had a few watching over her, not that she needed their protection.
Wood Elves worked to make sure that nature was served as it would not do to interrupt the song of the green. For example for every tree that was cut down two were planted elsewhere.
Last of all their were the Mana Elves who studied how magic was used upon this world. They would give this knowledge to the many witches who served the Overlord, making those spellcasters even more deadly in the battles to come.
All in all the work here went well but Illyria knew that it would be many more months before her army grew to the size needed to conquer other worlds.
The demons who served The Wolf, The Ram and The Hart needed to be destroyed so that the Overlord could retake the world to lost to him and then take more. Also the masters of the those demons needed to be dealt with but that would be simple now that Eve had turned traitor.
The creatures behind the demonic firm might be Old Ones but Illyria knew better than most that even Old Ones could be permanently killed. In fact she'd murdered quite a few back in the bad old days. For all their power they were physical beings and there was limit to how much even gods could endure.
The idea of being the one to final kill those upstart Hellgods brought a smile to her face. The consort of the Overlord would be very happy when the day approaching finally arrived.
With a smile on her face the reborn Old One opened a portal and travelled to her world of birth. She felt the need to go and kill something and there were still quite a few Vampires and demons in the city humans L.A.
In a matter of hours there would be a lot less.
Justice League Earth. Gotham.
The bank alarms rang into the night alerting all to the crime in progress.
Wonder Woman flew to the scene and landed next to the police blockade outside the bank.
"What's going on here?" she asked of the officer in charge.
"Thank god your here Wonder Woman" said the police officer. "Supergirl already went in but she hasn't come out. She asked us to wait but we heard gunfire and then people screaming".
Diana felt confused. A few thugs with guns wouldn't even slow Supergirl down. If anything this matter should already have been dealt with, so why had Superman's cousin called for backup requesting Diana. Even if there were hostages she couldn't imagine her fellow League member needing much help.
Deciding that the only way to find out just what was going was to go inside and see Diana ran into the building expecting the worse but hoping that this was all a misunderstanding and that Supergirl was fine.
When the Princess of the Amazons entered the building she discovered that everything was not fine.
The bank robbers had been dealt with all right, rather terminally in fact.
"Great Hera" swore the Princess as she looked around.
The crooks had been killed but worse than that they had been killed in a horrible way. Body parts were scattered all over the place and get amounts of blood covered the walls.
"To think I use to be so careful when dealing with humans" came a voice in the shadows.
Diana gasped again as Supergirl came out of the shadows and into the light. She looked very different. Gone was the white uniform and S symbol she'd worn proudly. Now the young alien wore black leather which left little to the imagination. The long black cloak she wore might cover things from the rear but from the front nearly everything was exposed.
But the change of outfit didn't concern Wonder Woman much, it was the blood covering her friends hands that did.
It seemed pretty clear who had done this.
"Kara, how could you?" whispered Diana
"Do what?" questioned the now evil girl. "kill these scum?. It was easy, so very easy. Now that my eyes have been opened I understand how Clark's morality was holding me back. I can't believe I wasted so much time chasing bad guy when I could of so easily killed them. I owe Overlord Gothic so much".
Wonder Woman noticed the tone of devotion in her friends voice when she named this Overlord Gothic. Clearly this Overlord was the one Batman had warned her about only days ago. Somehow this Gothic had brainwashed poor Kara.
Diana knew now what she had to do. She had to take Supergirl down before the alien girl killed again and get her back to the Watchtower, so that Kara's mind could be healed.
But first Diana would call for backup as while the Princess was sure that she could take the younger and less experienced woman it would be a lot safer if she had numbers.
Before she could contact the Watchtower, Diana found her arms being held in place long enough for Kara to remove the comm device. But it wasn't Kara who was restraining her it was... also Kara.
"I'd like you to met my sister" introduced Supergirl " well clone technically, but I like to think of her as a twin sister".
Clone?, sister what was going on her Wonder Woman asked of herself.
"Our Master wants you" informed the twin of Kara. "Although I can't imagine why when he has us".
Rather than ask about this master Diana instead decided to get the Tartarus out of there. She'd need help, a lot of help, to take down two Supergirls.
The Princess slammed her head back impacting the clone's nose with a well time headbutt before kicking out at what she assumed to be the real Supergirl. Although it was hard to tell which was which.
Now free Diana tried to fly out of the skylight but didn't get far. Powergirl grabbed her leg and slammed the Amazon heir to the ground before spinning on the spot and throwing the demigod out of the double doors that led into the bank.
(Author Note. Wonder Woman is the daughter of the Greek God Hades in the Justice League animated series so she's classified as a demi-god like Hercules. Just thought I'd add that in case you guys didn't know).
The daughter of Hades went flying into the police barricade heavily denting a car in the process and found herself a bit winded by the whole experience. This gave the two blondes time to catch up.
The police were, understandably, a little freaked out at the sight of two nearly naked large breasted superheroes with bloody hands walking towards them.
"Freeze" shouted one rookie cop while holding a shaking gun.
"If you like" replied Supergirl who used her ice breath to freeze the cops.
"That was funny" commented Powergirl just before a really pissed off Wonder Woman punched her so hard she hit the wall behind her.
"Hey that's my sister!" screamed Supergirl who punched Diana returning the favour.
The Princess hit the frozen cops shattering a few of them. But this only made the Amazon even more pissed off. Yet she controlled her anger and once more went to get help knowing she was outmatched and more importantly this fight was getting people killed.
Followed by the Supergirls the heir to the Amazon throne went straight up hoping that if another fight did start the damage might be lessened up here. Also there was a good chance that the fight would be noticed my the news media and that would led to other heroes being informed about what was going on around here, then someone might come and aid her.
She didn't have to wait long for backup.
With a warcry Hawkgirl entered the fight her mace crackling with energy. The alien weapon was aimed right at Powergirl but the clone was faster. With super speed she dodged the blow while Supergirl used her heat vision intending to take the dangerous weapon out of play.
The plan didn't work. Hawkgirl dove away from the blast and brought herself around for another attack.
"I'll take the Princess, you take birdgirl" ordered Supergirl.
Powergirl didn't bother to argue but she did make a suggestion.
"I think the master might like a pet. I'll capture the winged menace and meet you at the Gate".
The sisters separated and went after their respective targets.
Wonder Woman had stopped fleeing and turned around. She knew that Sharra would of called for back up so there was no need to run.
Supergirl picked up speed and charged the Princess. The Amazon met the attack sending them both into the side of New York skyscraper. They flew through the building and out the other side. Supergirl was no worse for wear but Diana wasn't as tough as the girl who fell from space and the glass had caused cuts to appear on her body.
But that wouldn't stop the Amazon from fighting.
As the two women flew through the air they traded punches and kicks but it was only a matter of time before Kara wore Wonder Woman down.
Meanwhile Hawkgirl was really wishing that she had called for backup before entering the fight as the super powered blonde had removed that option and was pounding the winged warrior into submission.
"You will amuse my master well, once I put you in a cage" promised the leather clad alien.
Hawkgirl had no idea who this fake Supergirl's master was but she got the idea that it wouldn't be as amusing as promised should she fall into his hands.
But the mace wielder didn't have much time to think about this as the big breasted alien was winning this fight.
The one time betrayer of the League didn't see the punch that took her down coming but she felt it impact. As she fought to stay awake she promised herself that from now on she was calling for backup first and then she would fly in to get her ass kicked.
Assuming there was a next time of course.
Wonder Woman fared no better in her fight although she lasted longer. It took a few thrown cars to bring her down but the result was the same. She was defeated and dragged away to an unknown fate.
The twin sisters met at the Gate meant to transport them back and compared prizes.
"Do you think he will like the gift?" asked Powergirl as she finished wrapping a lamppost around the knocked out Hawkgirl.
It wouldn't do for the captives to escape before the Overlord could tame them so Supergirl secured Wonder Woman the same way.
"I'm sure our lord will appreciate it".
The Master had powerful magic the blondes knew this and that meant he could hurt them should they fail. However as a god he could also take them to bed which appealed to both girls as aside from their cousin no man around here could safely have sex with them, meaning that they were both virgins.
Hopefully that wouldn't be the case much longer thought both of the Mistresses as they used the Gate to return home. The Overlord would reward for a job well done with lots and lots of sex.
The Dark City. The Dark Palace. Heart Chamber.
Three barely alive women and one very dead anegl were lying at my feet as I tried to force by body back to the ground.
I'd never flown using magic before (well I had but that had been Puff's magic not mine) and the experience was.. interesting.
Given that I knew a dozen ways to teleport I'd never bothered learning how to fly under my own power. It hadn't seemed important until I'd come to DC verse as the only flying things I'd encountered had been dragons and only once had I needed to fight one from the ground.
Now however I could fly with the powers stolen from an angel and Wonder Woman.
People like Superman and Green Lantern would still be able to fly rings around me but it was better than not being to fly at all.
I also felt stronger than ever as if I could life a truck with my bare hands and throw it over a house.
I still wasn't on the level of some of the DC powers I'd seen but I imagined that I might be up there with say Darkseid thanks to the magical attacks I had access to.
Actually given that Superman could be hurt by magic I might even be able to fight the man of steel himself.
I then warned myself not to get overconfident. Sure I might be able to hurt the alien but the only reason I'd live through such a battle was because he was unlikely to kill me. I shouldn't think to highly of myself, that was a mistake many like myself had made over the years.
Still I was sure that I was now ready to take a few League members on by myself. Not that I would because no true Dark Lord would ever fight fare if he didn't have to. And I was smarter than the average Evil Overlord.
"Are you pleased with our gift master?" asked Paige.
I was very pleased indeed. Not only had the sisters brought me another witch to enslave they'd also brought me a very powerful angel whose magic was now mine.
"I am pleased, Paige" I told the spellcaster "you and Piper will be rewarded well".
I looked over at the two Charmed Ones here and admired the new outfits they wore. Like the warrior outfits worn by Faith ,and the super twins, their enlarged breasts were well displayed by the leather bikinis they wore but unlike the warrior garb the mages in my service wore purple robe which covered more but remained open the front and was kept together with a sash.
They also now carried staffs that weren meant to help channel magical energy into deadly attacks. I didn't know where they'd come from but they were better than wands as they could channel a lot more power.
"What about Diana" asked Kara Zor-El . "She's still alive. Can I kill her?".
I considered the matter for a moment. I'd stripped away most of her power but I hadn't killed the Amazon as I had a few ideas that would restore some of her strength making her at least as strong as the others of her kind if I was willing drain a Slayer. She might be useful if I decided to enslave the rest of her kin.
"Take her to the Dark Mistresses" I commanded, my voice filled with the authority my new power level installed. "they can have some fun with a new toy for a while then I'll send her to Faith for re-education".
Supergirl picked up the knocked out Wonder Woman and I noticed that the clone had my helmet symbol on the back of her cloak now.
I'd have to change my symbol soon as I rarely wore Overlord armour any more. I'd grown beyond the need for such things. But given that many of my Mistresses had that mark burned onto them keeping it as my symbol might be for the best.
"What about the bird?" questioned Powergirl. "Shall I take her to the torturers, she's not much compared to Kara and me but she might be useful when we go after the League".
"Very well" I said "they can have her two, your bird cage idea can wait".
Brining the Thanagarian into my service was a good idea as I could really do with a extra set of hands when it came time to conquer DC Earth. I'd need people to police that planet and ensure that the leaders I put into power did as they were told. Metahumans both League and otherwise would serve well in that role.
Once I had DC Earth firmly under my control I could use its wealth of resources to fund a massive army. An army far greater than what I once commanded.
I shook my head and made myself stop thinking about what might be. I was dreamer for sure but there was a time and place for such things, this was neither. I had a war to run and if I was ever going to get back what I had lost I'd need even more power than I had now.
Thankfully there wasn't a shortage of magical creatures to drain or super females to convert around here.
But who could I drain to give me an edge over Superman, who else could fight him and had the magic to do it.
Thinking back to all the DC comics and animations I'd watched I remembers one hero who had fought Superman and done well.
Captain Marvel was next on my hit list.
