On the satellites around Apocalypse.
"Steppenwolf failed." Darkseid felt that the power of the Anti-Life Equation in Steppenwolf was affected and released, which made him immediately understand that Steppenwolf had experienced another failure.
According to his program, only death can exempt him from the influence of Steppenwolf. Darkseid does not believe that anyone can, at least no one on that planet can help Steppenwolf find the program equation hidden deep in his mind and cancel it.
Although he had looked down on Steppenwolf since adulthood, Darkseid still acknowledged his strength. Even on Apokolips, Steppenwolf's strength would rank among the higher New Gods. He possessed incredible power. The fact that the other party had been able to defeat Steppenwolf, causing him to suffer two consecutive setbacks and even his own death, clearly showed that the planet's power was not as inferior as he had imagined.
"Um?"
As if sensing something, Darkseid suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Apokolips. There was a sudden spatial fluctuation.
A dark cloud, like ink, began to spread rapidly under Darkseid's astonished gaze. In just a moment, it looked as if Apokolips had an extra black eye, emitting a strong and ominous aura.
At the same moment, the alarm from Apocalypse also reached him.
Invader!
Darkseid never thought that Apokolips would suffer such a sudden attack when he was in charge. This made him, who was always tyrannical and cruel, furious.
A boundless army of demon-like creatures unleashed from the satellites surrounding Apocalypse, swarming towards the planet like locusts. As the universe's most formidable weapons of war, demon-like creatures helped Apocalypse conquer world and civilization after world. Their life force was powerful, and their numbers were too numerous to be slain. Apocalypse was surrounded by a network of demon-like nests, capable of overwhelming any incoming enemy with their sheer numbers. Even the most powerful would be lost and fatigued by the boundless demon-like swarm.
In fact, Apocalypse itself was a transformed planet with powerful firepower and defense capabilities. If the invaders attacked from the front, even if they broke through the blockade of the demon-like creatures, they would still face a terrible fortress.
Inside Apocalypse Star.
A dark, cosmic hole opened in the sky, rapidly expanding like the eye of a raging storm. The inside of the hole was pitch black. The Apocalypse Star people, beneath the hole, watched in horror as a thick, foul liquid poured down from the sudden, cosmic portal in the sky.
The black, foul liquid fell from the sky like a giant slime, pattering onto the ground and covering the entire city below. Many Apocalypse Star citizens couldn't help but go crazy upon seeing the black liquid.
Unprecedented chaos and bloodshed erupted on the ground. Everyone seemed mad, desperately attacking every living thing around them. As time passed, they began to develop more and more symptoms of corruption and distortion. Each Apocalypse Star descended into a path of distorted evolution beyond their control.
They craved flesh and blood, and even more so, the moment of life's fading. The negative emotions of hatred, fear, pain, and sorrow, filled them like the ultimate reward. They had been corrupted into a group of starving beasts, and those increasingly sensitive and intuitive emotions were a delicacy they could not refuse. Even if that sense of satisfaction lasted only a moment, their entire soul would be overtaken by an even more intense hunger.
They unconsciously pursued this sense of satisfaction, being both hunters and hunted by more powerful beings. A single blob of foul liquid plunged an entire city into a fratricidal demise.
The hollow in the sky was like a living thing, a chewing sound resonating faintly within the hearts of all living things. Polluted souls were increasingly swallowed by the hollow after death, and the black liquid flowed out more and more.
The overwhelming arrival of the demon-like army undoubtedly accelerated the spread of the pollution disaster. The demon-like army was even more susceptible to contamination and corruption than the Apokolips. Under the influence of the black liquid, they had almost no resistance. The demon-like army, controlled by Darkseid, turned their bodies into slaves of the Sky Hollow's power.
The corrupted demon-like army and the subsequent demon-like armies immediately started a fierce battle. The corrupted demon-like army kept dying, and at the same time, new demon-like army kept becoming part of the corruption.
The hole in the sky grew larger, and the impact on the ground grew with it. The planet's defenses were also activated by this sudden change. Various weapons fell into the hole from all directions, including some special munitions capable of disrupting space. But after wave after wave of concentrated fire, the hole swallowed up all the weapons without hesitation, continuing its silent and rapid expansion. Those weapons, specially manufactured, were completely immune to the hole, remaining as stable as before.
…
In a space mezzanine in a remote place in the Apokolips galaxy, Thor paced back and forth restlessly, looking at Doctor Strange so frequently that Stephen couldn't ignore him at all.
"What do you want to say?" Stephen took the initiative to speak to Thor.
"Is it really okay for us to do this?" Thor pointed outside the space.
Although he couldn't see what Thor was referring to, Stephen knew it was the Abyss on Apokolips. He and Thor were both well aware of the pollution the Abyss could bring. Thor, in particular, was deeply impressed by how Luke had used the Abyss to completely corrupt Nidavellir in the Nine Realms, even imbuing it with the Abyssal Will and animating it into a living planet.
This forced the Nine Realms to exile Nidavellir and strip away their energy circulation system. Otherwise, the entire Nine Realms and the World Tree would be contaminated and corrupted by the circulating power of the Abyss.
"Are you being kind?" Stephen asked the question directly.
"Kindness? No, no, no. You probably don't know how many planets I conquered and how many rebellions I suppressed. I have no mercy or kindness towards my enemies. Besides, what Steppenwolf said was true. Apokolips is a planet populated by villains. I'm just worried about the impact of the Abyss on this universe. You know, if Bruce and the others knew about it, they might be tempted to reach out to the Abyss, trying to find a way to control and eliminate it. And we all know that the Abyss cannot be completely eradicated." Thor waved his hand, simply worried that the situation would get out of control in the future.
The vast black liquid transformed into a tsunami-like wave, washing over the earth below in a black rainstorm. Buildings were corroded by the black torrent, then broken apart and submerged in the black waves.
No one could resist this black tsunami, and all resistance was futile. The area beneath the void in the sky had become a forbidden zone for life. Anyone who dared to enter would be quickly corrupted, deformed, and eventually die.
An inky black spot on Apocalypse was spreading rapidly at an incredible speed, and it seemed as if it was covering the entire planet.
Darkseid on the satellite had already realized something was amiss. He felt his demon-like army was being decimated at an unpredictable rate. Apokolips seemed like a meat grinder, devouring any number of troops instantly. The expanding black spot on Apokolips gave him a particularly dangerous intuition.
That is a powerful force!
A powerful and extremely dangerous force!
The Persona was no weaker than the Omega Effect and the Anti-Life Equation he possessed, and perhaps even more powerful. It was so extreme! Filthy! Dark! Even he, with his rock-hard heart, couldn't help but want to stay away when he sensed that power.
No life can ignore this power, even if he is a new god in the universe!
But no matter how reluctant he was, Darkseid could not sit idly by and watch Apokolips fall before his eyes and be destroyed by an unknown force without any resistance!
Two red beams shot out from Darkseid's eyes and fell on the spreading black spots on Apocalypse at the speed of light in space.
Omega effect!
An unavoidable attack, once used, guaranteed to hit. Once locked onto it, the beam will pursue you no matter how you dodge, like the Hound of Tindalos, even if you flee to another location, timeline, dimension, or even universe.
Once hit, an extremely high-energy explosion occurs, the force of which even Superman would find difficult to withstand. If activated at full power, it can directly obliterate the target, whether it's a living person or an inanimate object. Any material object is affected.
Darkseid can manipulate the power of the Omega Effect to achieve his desired effects.
The beam fell on the black spot, and Darkseid almost unreservedly activated the full power of the Omega Effect. If there were no black spot, his power would be enough to bring devastating disaster to Apokolips.
However, no matter how Darkseid activated the Omega Effect, the black spot was never erased. Instead, it seemed to be going against the current, and was eager to pollute and corrupt it with the power of the Omega Effect.
Darkseid, sensing this situation, almost subconsciously interrupted the Omega Effect beam. Several black liquid tentacles shot up into the sky along the beam, like waves. After losing their target, they were attracted and fell back to where the black spot was.
The Omega effect did not have the desired effect on the black spot, or in other words, the power level of the Omega effect was lower than the power represented by the black spot.
Realizing this, Darkseid was horrified, yet also filled with an inexplicable greed. He knew that the Omega Effect wasn't destructive, at least he couldn't do anything with the so-called Wall of Origin.
When he first gained the Omega Effect and felt incredibly powerful, he had considered attacking the Wall of Origin, but he was more cautious and only tested it from a distance. After discovering that the Wall of Origin could withstand the power of the Omega Effect, he decisively withdrew. He didn't have the same obsession and persistence with the Wall of Origin as his father, Yuga Khan.
But apart from the Origin Wall, Darkseid has never encountered a being that can directly resist the power of the Omega Effect. That mysterious black spot is the second one!
Does this mean that the level of power represented by the black spots is comparable to the Wall of Origin?
Darkseid, who already has two great powers in his hands, does not mind mastering another great power, especially this great power, whose status and power are even higher and stronger than the Omega Effect and the Anti-Life Equation.
The only pity is that this power is too dangerous, especially towards life, it has great malice and pollution.
But Darkseid didn't care. Even if the universe was destroyed, it wouldn't bother him. The question now was, how could he master and seize this power?
Go deep into the dark spots?
Even if Darkseid believed in his own strength, facing the crazy warning of danger from his inner intuition, he did not dare to rush in. He always felt that if he really dared to rush into the interior of the black spot, he might not be able to get out.
Is there any other way?
Darkseid, seeing the sudden appearance of a dark spot on Apokolips, suspected this was a premeditated attack. The space surrounding Apokolips was stable, and there were rigorous and meticulous defenses against this type of teleportation technology. Generally speaking, no one could silently and undetectably create a wormhole directly above Apokolips using spatial abilities.
With this in mind, Darkseid ordered his men on Apokolips to evacuate as quickly as possible while carefully exploring the surrounding space. Omega effects would occasionally erupt, erasing any spatial nodes he suspected.
A rotating portal appeared from behind Darkseid. Darkseid was almost keenly aware of the energy fluctuations and crisis. He turned around and looked at Stephen, Thor and others who walked out one after another from a rotating circle of fire with sparks.
"He's so ugly!" Becky couldn't help but frown the first time she saw Darkseid. This humanoid creature with rock-like skin in front of her didn't meet her aesthetic standards at all. Although her aesthetic standards for pets were somewhat distorted, she was still quite normal when it came to human appearance.
"Are you the invaders?" Darkseid did not attack immediately, but looked at the person who came carefully. Seeing the appearance of the other party, he already had a rough guess about the origin of the person.
Human!
Intelligent life on that blue planet.
Considering Steppenwolf's failure, Darkseid believes he has everything connected. It seems the humans in this universe possess some unknown and powerful power.
In this case, it seems understandable that Steppenwolf failed twice?
Stephen had no intention of greeting Darkseid. He winked at Thor and immediately launched a magical blast.
