Chapter 124: Apokalips
Chapter 124: Apokalips
“This...is Apokalips?”
Benjamin asked as he couldn’t believe what he was seeing in front of him.
When one mentions Apokalips, you’d think it’s some sort of apocalyptic world filled with death.
It could be a hellish landscape of fire and lava.
Or maybe a barren wasteland with no breath of greenery.
But what he was seeing now...

“...”
The song filled the air and numerous parademons in uniforms walked around.
Some were tending to booths, some selling street snacks, some taking pictures for others...
Suddenly, the streets lit up with flashy fireworks and a huge figure arrived.
“Welcome all to Apokalips Park! May you all have an exciting and thrilling time!”
...It was Darkseid. AKA Lord of Apokalips. AKA God of Evil. AKA The Great Darkness. AKA The Destroyer of Worlds...
“What the fuck?”
Lucas expertly got out and went to a nearby booth.
When Benjamin shakily got out and stood back on the surface, Lucas approached him with a photo in his hands.
“Here, you can keep it.”
“...”
Benjamin looked at the picture and saw his ugly expression captured in high definition.
“...Weren’t we moving at light speed?”
“Haha, that’s just what we say but the truth is, the ride only moves at ‘near’ light speed. The camera to take this was quite specialized so it’s able to take high-definition pictures of the ride.”
...What’s the fucking difference!?
Benjamin took several breaths to calm himself.
“...Just how bored are you to make this thing...”
“Very.”
“...”
I could tell...
Benjamin sighed.
“Come on! Let’s go to the next one!’
Lucas laughed.
It’s not always that he could bring other reincarnated people like him around.
Although he had met a few ones in the DC universe, they usually tried their best to avoid him like a plague.
As if they’re afraid he would suddenly start killing them or something.
Seriously, who had the time for such bothersome things.
Thankfully, Benjamin wasn’t like that and he could have some fun once in a while away from his wives.
As they toured Apokalips, Lucas asked.
“By the way, have you met Deadpool? Does he actually break the fourth wall?”
“That guy? Yeah, he would sometimes turn towards an empty spot and speak. Whenever he does that, I also sense a faint presence of the ‘4th wall’ which kinda feels weird...”
“Oh? What does it feel?”
“Like hundreds of eyes peering on me...”
“Only a hundred? Guess the author isn’t popular.”
...orz
“How about Gwenpool?”
“Gwenpool huh? She hasn’t appeared yet. I don’t know if my world even has her.”
“Which Spider-man is in your universe? Tobey? Andrew? Tom? Or someone else?”
“Uhh, none of those I believe. If I have to say...it’s closer to the one from the Ultimate Spider-man series.”
After chatting some more and having finished touring Apokalips, Benjamin was ready to head back and head home with some souvenirs.
On the way back, he asked Lucas.
“What’s your plan with Kal-El?”
“Hmmm, I think I know where his home universe is but...the Kal-El of that universe had already been replaced with another reincarnator with a system. If we send him back there...well, it’s easy fix if we want to be violent about it but that guy has been living a good life and hasn’t abused his powers so it would be a bit unreasonable to suddenly take his life away.”
Benjamin nodded.
“In that case, we’ll proceed with finding a world where his parents were still alive as planned?”
Lucas nodded then sighed.
“About that. Actually, wouldn’t it be better to inform Kal-El first and let him decide? It’s just gonna be troublesome if he somehow finds out the truth in the future. I don’t want any unnecessary drama.”
“...Let’s do that then.”
Benjamin agreed but sighed as well.
He just doesn’t know what reaction Superman would have upon learning that someone had replaced him in his home world.
