POV Rio
I had been in the DC Omniverse for two years and figured it was time to return. I didn't feel like staying any longer as I learned all I needed and didn't see any reason to stay in this Omniverse. I cleaned up a couple of Universes of evil, but with Darkseid's erasure, most evil is on the backpedal. I gained a massive amount of Intelligence Stats, which was the stat I was most interested in.
'A shame the system still lacks the energy needed for the upgrade. But maybe I will gather it once I deal with Cetana.'
Another boon I got from the Trial was the massive improvements to Sweetie. She was now made of Vibranium, Uru, Promethium, Nth Metal, and some of Alduin's scales. Her durability was high enough that she could swim in a Neutron Star or take a direct hit from Daybreaker and shrug it off as if it were nothing. I gathered all the artifacts and metals I could want. I left a level 150 Primordial Archangel in the DCAU Universe in case it is needed. The Angel was easily the strongest or second strongest being in the Omniverse. So I could be certain it would be fine without me.
'Oh yeah, then there was that discovery from Atlantis.'
I found out why Aquaman knew about the Seaponies. It turned out that the Sorcerer Supreme and distant king of Atlantis had sealed away the exact same creatures, and it had been carried down as a famous historical event of Atlantis. It was apparently known about because the songs were so catchy that they got stuck in everyone's head. And there was the fact that the Seaponies were not the most helpful creatures you could come across. Mind you, not as dangerous as a Dolphin, but still.
'Okay, I think I have everything and there is nothing left to do but leave.'
Once I am fully sure I am ready to leave, I exit the Trial.

'Well, those are some great rewards.'
Oa can allow us to build our own Lantern Corps, and we won't have to wait until I get another ring in the Gacha or when I buy one. The Mother Boxes can be used if we ever want to travel to the X-Men Universe.
'Not that I think I would ever want to go there.'
The Father Box was interesting. It had some very useful utilities, and no doubt the knowledge it contains would be immensely valuable. It would take a bit of time to study, as we have other more important projects going on currently, but with time, we could improve our tech. But the next reward was valuable, but a bit niche. But at least I got an Agility and Perception Boost.
'Having loyal Speedsters is great, but I am not sure if we really need them. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to have them.'
Next was the summon.
'Zatara is one of the best magic users in DC, so she could be quite useful. If anything, she could at least be an instructor. Or maybe the Justice League.'
Other than the summon, the next items were more interesting to me. Two more Plates meant I only needed one more Plate. Which should be the Insect Plate. As for the powers they gave. They were mostly useless to me. The Aura Gifting Power was interesting, but nothing too interesting.
'Now for the last reward.'
The last reward was the most interesting to me. Shazam was one of the strongest beings that have ever been a part of the Justice League. Now I knew the power of Shazam like many comic book characters could vary wildly, but any version would be good enough. Shazam would provide at least some utility. And the boosts to my stats were very welcome since it finally meant I had a permanent boost to Intelligence. And the sheer amount of boosts made this the best reward from this trial.
'But I won't do the messed-up thing the wizard did. Children should not be given the responsibilities of a superhero. They should be focused on having fun and being a child, not on what happens when they aren't fast enough and someone dies.'
Once I sorted the rewards, I sent them to where they needed to go. Most didn't go anywhere, but Zatara was sent to Sendak for an introduction to our Universe and let her get a bit settled in. I kept the Mother and Father Boxes with me for now, and I did the same with the Plates. I sent a datapad with the technology and findings from my trip to the Science Division so they could study it when they had time. The metals I collected were sent to the Starforge. Once all that was done, I checked my status to see how much I had progressed. That and I collected the gathered XP since I last gathered it.

'Hmm, some great earnings for XP, but it will slow down soon.'
I wasn't doing as intense training as I was in the Nier Trial. I was more focused on technique training and mastery of my current abilities. The real slog was Bending, but I was happy I was finally done with that skill. I could have finished it much sooner if I had just bit the bullet and bought a temp summon. But I refused to do so, and I wasn't too upset that I did. It allowed me to get a far better mastery of bending than I ever had before. I almost finished Technopathy, but I stopped just before I finished because I knew training for too long is not good for the mind. That and I was a bit bored with training.
'Now for the question of where I should put the stat points.'
I thought for quite a while and decided to put the stat points in two of the harder-to-increase stats. Luck and Perception.

'Wow, I am easily strong enough to treat both Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker as nothing more than annoyances. I am not sure how strong I am completely, but I am easily the strongest in our Multiverse. Unless the being I am fighting doesn't function normally, like Discord, Mister Mxyzptlk, or something similar, then I should be able to defeat them or at least escape.'
Once I was done with the status updates, I went to visit my family and see what they were up to.

Authors Note:
So this will be the last trial of this book. Next will be the last Gacha. Or at least the last one written about. There will be a few time skips, or maybe not. Not fully sure. There is only one threat left for this story, but it will be because it is an unusual enemy that can't be slain normally. I am not fully sure what level of power Rio would be. Possibly Multiversal level or at least close. Until next time, Ciao.
