329. The Show Begins.
Fourth World, Apokolips.
This is the remnant of the Old God era and one of the birthplaces of the New Gods.
"Lord Darkseid."
Sitting on the Mobius Chair, Batman looked at Darkseid with complete reverence, reporting in a calm voice.
"Reports show that most of the members of the Seven Lantern Corps have perished. My previous plan was successful. By spreading the seeds of abnormal emotions, the power of the rings was not a threat. They broke down from within."
At this point, Batman no longer resembled a human in any way. Although he still maintained his original human appearance, his humanity and emotions had been completely erased. He now functioned like a programmed machine, mechanically carrying out his tasks.
"Very good."
Standing before Batman, Darkseid, with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly. After losing many of his old subordinates, he found Batman increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Having such a clever opponent had once given Darkseid headaches. But now, ever since brainwashing Batman and making him his strategist, Darkseid had managed to eliminate the Seven Lantern Corps in just over a year. This impressive achievement was enough to make Darkseid see Batman in a new light.
"You've done well. Next, I will personally go and bring Oa into my empire. Those people have disrupted many of my plans for far too long."
Upon hearing this, Batman bowed his head slightly and respectfully said, "It will be their honor to be destroyed by you, my esteemed master. Believe me, after the main forces have been wiped out, the remaining resistance on Oa will pose no problem."
"Hmm. Until I return, you will be in charge of Apokolips."
Darkseid's lips curled into a slight smile. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed the thrill of war. Destroying the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps this time would be particularly satisfying. He then turned his head.
"Remember, do not disturb me."
Only after hearing Darkseid's words did Batman lift his head, nodding slightly before solemnly replying, "As you wish, master."
As Batman's words fell, a Boom Tube appeared in front of Darkseid. Amidst a blinding light, Darkseid's figure slowly disappeared.
Through his connection with the Eye of Omniscience, Alex had already seen that Constantine's plan was going smoothly. Now, they couldn't afford to fail on their end either.
"Well then, it's time to sound the charge. Thanks to Constantine for offering his 'House of Mystery,' otherwise I wouldn't be able to unleash such powerful magic."
The House of Mystery is a supernatural house, somewhat similar to the TARDIS from Doctor Who. It can appear anywhere in the world according to Constantine's will, and it holds immense magical energy.
In a sense, calling it a pocket-sized magical dimension wouldn't be far from the truth.
In the movie, this house was driven by Black Orchid to crash into one of Apokolips' engines, which was a bit of an underuse. If this thing were in the hands of someone truly capable, its potential would be immense.
If before, Alex's magical ability was limited to "raising Asgard from flat ground," now, with the House of Mystery as his power source, the magic he could release could only be described as absurdly powerful.
"Honestly, Alex, I'm still curious how you plan to attack all three Apokolips engines at once," Clark asked, both curious and a bit doubtful.
"Don't worry, I've got some special help."
Alex's lips curled into a smile, and then he closed his eyes. In the next moment, his perspective detached from his physical body and began rapidly rising.
Everything on the ground grew further away from Alex. The figures of Lois, Kara, and the others quickly shrank. As his perspective rose, clouds occasionally swept across his vision.
When Alex reopened his 'eyes,' his viewpoint was now outside Earth.
"The stage is set..."
Widening his field of view, Alex quickly located the three Apokolips engines that had been implanted in different locations across the planet.
"The show begins~"
