352. 'Equivalent Exchange”!!!

352. “Equivalent Exchange”!!!

The moment Constantine pulled the trigger, everything changed irreversibly.

Within an extremely short span of time, the entire Baxter Building began to vanish. From the direction the Ultimate Eraser pointed, everything was obliterated from the ground up. Stone and steel crumbled into fragments, then into dust, and finally continued to disintegrate, as though destined to be reduced to nothingness.

Starting from the underground lab and stretching up to the surface, the entire building seemed to be wiped away by an invisible eraser.

There was no sound, no earth-shattering visuals. Just a breeze passed, and Constantine, Barbara, and the others saw the starry night sky above.

They were deep underground, after all.

"What in the world is...!"

Barbara's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the ground.

She had never witnessed such an eerie scene and couldn't even fathom the existence of such terrifying power in the world.

The moment Constantine used the Ultimate Eraser, Barbara felt a sense of nothingness, as though she were being observed by a higher-dimensional being. The pressure left her unable to breathe.

It wasn't just a gaze—it felt like her entire being was laid bare, as though every moment from her birth to her death was on display for someone to examine.

Unlike her, though, neither Constantine nor Raven seemed to feel anything.

Constantine was fully focused on controlling the Ultimate Eraser, while Raven was straining to suppress Trigon's impending manifestation.

The power of the Ultimate Eraser shook everyone around, especially Star-Lord and Madame Masque on the surface, who were in a standoff when they noticed that the Baxter Building had been replaced by a void in an instant.

What was worse, the power of the Ultimate Eraser was far from dissipating. Instead, it shot into the sky, forming a colossal rift, stretching like a pupil opening.

The rift ran from east to west, seeming to span the entire Earth, beyond their field of vision, splitting the sky in two.

Everyone paused, from Shazam to Pietro, gazing silently at the sky, hoping to etch the scene in their minds.

No one knew what had happened or what to do next. Faced with such power, nothing else mattered—they could only watch in silence.

Underground, Raven coughed up blood, unable to hold back Trigon's power any longer.

"I... I can't hold it back..."

The next moment, a burst of dark magic surged from the shattered crystal, sending Barbara flying into the wall, where she fell unconscious.

The black mist, infused with a towering demonic energy, escaped and immediately shot upward, drawn by an invisible force, like a rocket streaming into the rift in the sky. Meanwhile, on Earth in the Apokolips War universe.

That same sky-splitting chasm appeared before everyone. Even the Doomsday demons paused, trembling in fear at the sight of the ominous spectacle.

"What did you do?!" Darkseid didn't know what power had caused all this, but he felt an undeniable threat as the rift formed.

A threat to his life.

Alex hadn't yet answered when, suddenly, a dark energy surged from the rift, streaking down like a meteor with a long tail of power.

Darkseid's gaze sharpened as he studied the energy. He could sense that the pure demonic force was no weaker than his own Omega Energy. Clearly, it was on his level.

In an instant, the dark mist reached him, slamming into Alex with tremendous speed.

"Gah..."

Alex's eyes turned blood-red, and then, another set of eyes opened on his forehead.

After her sacrifice during the Justice League's mission on Apokolips, Zatanna's soul had gone to Heaven.

"It's been a long time, John," Zatanna smiled. "Hard to believe you'd go this far for the world."

"It's not for the world," Constantine shook his head, his tone resolute. "It's for you. Only you."

At his words, Zatanna looked at him with emotion, though she quickly sighed.

"I owe you an apology, John. I forced you to run when I died..."

Constantine frowned as long-suppressed memories surged back, and everything became clear.

"A compulsion spell?"

If not for the spell's power, Constantine knew he would never have fled alone—he would have at least tried to save Zatanna.

Deep in thought, Constantine quickly pieced it all together.

"...Was it Batman?"

Zatanna didn't deny it. "He thought we needed a backup plan, just in case. But I never expected it would put two universes in jeopardy."

"Yeah, who could've known?" Constantine shrugged. "So now, let's fix this mistake."

They exchanged a knowing smile.

'Ahem, excuse me, hello? Maybe consider the situation before you get all mushy.'

"Oh, sorry, sorry! Coming, hahaha."

With an annoying sidekick fed up, and his loved one at his side, Constantine felt that nothing could be more perfect. He took Zatanna's hand.

"Remember the law of magic? Equivalent exchange."

"I think I taught you that. You used to be such a reckless jerk~"

Zatanna smiled, gazing at Constantine's face.

"Well then, together?"

"Together."

The two began to chant long, complex forbidden incantations. Instantly, Heaven's light illuminated the land, enveloping Trigon's form.

"What are you doing?!"

Trigon, newly freed and not yet in physical form, suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked furiously toward Constantine and roared.

'It's just a transaction.'

At that moment, Alex's voice echoed over.

'We're using you in exchange for every human on Earth in the other universe.'
