"Well, I sent Ultraman here as a test to see how you respond to threats to this world in my absence."
He opens up a little portal in his hand to the dimension she sent Ultraman to. The Kryptonian stands there in the darkness, looking about before he sees the portal hey are observing him through. Death closes the portal just as Ultraman was about to reach it and he continues his conversation.
"I'd like to say you handled him rather quickly and efficiently with minimal damage to my place. For this you get a gold star."
Still smiling, he conjured up a small star in the palm of his Old Testament gauntlet. His smile faltered, however as he noticed that the star was black, like all other things created by the gauntlet. Shrugging his cloaked shoulders, he placed the star on his daughter's blouse before putting his thumb and index finger on his chin, appraising it.
"As for why I look like a dried up corpse today?"
He simply shrugged his shoulders again, knowing just about as much as his daughter on the subject.
