Sawyer and Turpin are at a loss how to combat magic, but Superman says that he knows someone who can help. She also mentions what she's read of Karkull: a supremely powerful demon lord who seeks to transform all life on earth into demons. A girl who owns a local occult bookshop shows up and describes the shield as an encanto: a spell of protection. The SCU tries breaking through the shield with heavy artillery, but have no better luck. Superman hurls Karkull into the Daily Planet building and Karkull claims it for his own, conjuring a magic forcefield that Superman cannot break through. Karkull is initially surprised by Superman's strength, but throws him aside and manages to claw into his chest, cutting his flesh and showing that he is vulnerable to magic. The MPD is clearly overmatched by Karkull's magic, and Superman saves two officers from being killed before engaging the demon. Superman hears the disturbance and heads out to confront the creature. Fleeing the university, he stumbles into an alley, and then transforms into the demon Karkull, who crushes the stone tablet and starts wreaking havoc on the city. He dismisses the writing as nonsense, but as he passes a display case, he sees his reflection, and notices that his eyes are glowing and his skin has turned jet black.
The tablet's writing magically changes to English and he reads it out loud. He accidentally drops a clay jar and discovers there's a stone tablet inside. A lone thief wanders through a university's storage room where several artifacts are kept.
