The Death Knell

The gorgeous universe is always difficult to calm down. When humans on earth have never noticed it, the universe itself has been walking in the darkness on the road of transcendence, dominated by the jungle.

Weak galaxies will be swallowed up by powerful galaxies over billions of years, while mediocre races will gradually disappear in the long river of history.

Perhaps only Speed ​​Force users and a few masters of the concept of time can see their existence through the 'hypertime flow', but there is no doubt that there is no place for losers in today's universe.

Lost planets, lost races, lost dimensions or worlds, if there are survivors among them, they should say it.

"Everything happened so fast, there was no warning before the disaster happened."

But in fact, they were wrong.

There have been countless signs for trillions of years, signs of coming destruction, prophecies given by thousands of different civilizations at different times.

These prophecies are recorded on different carriers in different words, different voices, and different means, but they all tell the same name - Pepatua.

She will return in totality, the Mother of All will return with destruction, take back everything that originally belonged to her, deny the path to transcendence, and then...reshape everything with her will.

However, these predictions have been regarded as myths. Creatures have never truly understood the nature of the universe. Faced with the extremely short life span of individual organisms compared to the life span of the universe, creatures are more inclined to meet their own short-term needs.

Will the universe be destroyed in one hundred thousand years? Well... let me have a meal first.

It's too far away, the prophecy is too far away, far beyond the upper limit of the life span of living beings at that time, then it is not important.

Fortunately, it is not that no one paid attention to those prophecies. In all realities, there is a living being who chooses to believe it and has made preparations for it very early.

He is Darkseid.

As a member of the New Gods, Darkseid spent a long, long time laying out a grand plan on countless planets, unlike his brother 'Heavenly Father' who was doubtful about the prophecies of the universe.

He will use this plan to survive once the end of the universe comes.

When the Origin Wall cracked, Darkseid knew what was to come was going to be bigger, and the prophecy began to come true.

The end of all things was coming, and the darkness brought by others that he could not tolerate was coming.

He saw the invisible shock wave reaching New Creation Star, and that world disappeared in an instant. Then the shock wave reached Apokolips, and the fire pit on Apokolips was also swallowed up by invisible things.

Gone, the planet is gone, the New Gods are gone.

Except himself.

It's not too late, as long as he's still alive, it's not too late. Although the time left is shorter than he hoped, it's still not too late.

Even alone, he will stop this darkness and redouble it.

Because he alone is Darkseid, the true Lord of Darkness.

What he wanted in his heart was the darkness that dominated and enveloped everything. And what Pepatua brought was the darkness of nothingness in the universe after destroying everything.

Born to be an enemy.

Darkseid's original plan was to create a giant celestial body called Sepurk, which was both a pocket space and a parallel world. It was also the final ark and base.

He used mother box technology to create something called a 'different box'. As long as it goes through normal steps, these super machines of different shapes and about the size of an arm will be linked to each other and expand countless times.

He used space compression technology to condense Sepurk's components, energy, and technology into these strange boxes, just like the prefabricated components of building a house. After collecting all the strange boxes and activating them, Sepulk, A super ark larger than a star can be built in a dozen seconds and take him and his chosen people out of the multiverse and beyond the wall of origin.

After Pepatua wastes her energy to destroy and reshape this multiplicity, Darkseid will bring the new gods he created to kill her and take over the new universe.

But now there is a problem, that is, in order to keep it secret, he buried these strange boxes on hundreds of different planets, all over the universe.

And these remote planets happened to be Brainiac's first choice when he started collecting collections. I don't know if it was a coincidence, or Brainiac deliberately sabotaged his plan. The green humanoid AI didn't know about the strange box. existence, but happened to take away all the planets containing the strange boxes.

Normally, Darkseid thought it didn't matter, and it was quite safe to keep them with Brainiac, but when the prophecies began to come true, he had to get these strange boxes back.

This is why Darkseid rushed there when Cru was destroyed.

Although he got rid of his baby form at that time, he did not return to his prime state. Although he was still very strong, he was not nearly as strong as before.

Fortunately, there is energy in the alien box. As long as this energy is gradually recovered, Darkseid will return to his peak.

So in the past few months, he has been collecting strange boxes all over the Ghost Star Region. However, on these planets that were once canned, there are a large number of Brainiac's security robots and various kinds of strange boxes buried in them. Biochemical monster.

It's not that they intentionally guarded these treasures, it's just that after they lost contact with Brainiac, the program made them instinctively approach places with energy.

These things that were like ants in the past formed a huge obstacle to Darkseid today. Without enough energy to release omega rays, the overwhelming robots had to be torn apart with both hands, and he himself was inevitably injured.

So the collection process was very slow at first.

But he had a way. Through the connection between himself and the Mother Box, he deliberately sent some ethereal signals to the Mother Box, like talking in a dream.

Cyborg was indeed fooled. The Mother Box kept whispering to him, intermittently telling him how to save the universe, making him eager to go to the Ghost Star Territory to find out.

He also brought along Starfire from the Justice League, Jessica from Green Lantern, and Batman’s follower ‘Angel of Death’.

Darkseid had dug a hole for these people long ago. Through the technology he mastered, he collectively brainwashed the surviving creatures on some planets in the Ghost Sector and made them worship the 'Cyborg God' and the 'Starfire Goddess'. ', 'Death'.

He also implanted false memories into these creatures, making them believe that they had worshiped these gods hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The result was that after Cyborg and the others entered the Ghost Star Zone, they had to make an emergency landing because of a malfunction in their spacecraft. When they arrived on the surface, they found that everyone on the planet actually worshiped Cyborg as the Creator God.

It was so cool now. When he heard that he started to worship him a hundred thousand years ago, Cyborg immediately thought it was the effect of the timeline, so he didn't become suspicious.

Soon, aliens who believed in the Angel of Death and Starfire also came from other planets to welcome back their respective gods, so these three mortals who had never been gods suddenly drifted away.

Help this believer with some small things today, and help that believer with some tasks tomorrow.

There are no substantial benefits. Just seeing believers kowtow to them and call their gods’ names is very satisfying.

After they had been gods for a while, Darkseid appeared and said, 'You are now gods, not mortals, and have equal status with me. Now that the universe is facing a crisis, and everyone is trapped here, why not Cooperate? I have a way to get everyone out. "

Cyborg was originally very wary of Darkseid, but when he thought about how many of them were gods, with three gods against one god, he had a huge advantage.

So he agreed to cooperate, and was tricked by Darkseid into helping collect strange boxes. With Cyborg and several voluntary workers, the collection efficiency was much higher.

Jessica, who has not become a 'god', has become the most sober person. She is always on guard against Darkseid. In view of the blind optimism of her teammates, she is even prepared to become an enemy of everyone.

Starfire met her sister, the current queen of Tamaran, Blackfire, in the Ghost Sector, and the two sisters fell into family feud again.

Because when Tamaran was attacked by Brainiac, Princess Sparky disappeared at a critical moment, only to reappear as some kind of superhero on Earth. The eldest princess Blackfire was imprisoned in a jar with the planet and its people, and was only released after the destruction of Crux.

Xinghuo said that he was knocked unconscious by an enemy in space, and then drifted and crashed to the earth.

Black Fire said, ‘I don’t listen, I don’t listen, it’s all your fault anyway! ’

The two sisters fought several times. Blackfire was more powerful, but Starfire could call people, but in the end there was no result.

In short, in the end, Blackfire wants to save the entire Tamaran planet from the Ghost Sector, because the planets here are always colliding and devouring each other. She cannot see Tamaran destroyed, so she can only take over Darkseid. An olive branch offered.

Darkseid said that he could save Tamaran, and Blackfire had no choice but to believe him, so although the sisters did not get along, both of them were helping Darkseid collect the strange boxes.

The Angel of Death was welcomed back to a completely temple-like planet by his own believers. The leader of the believers called himself "Ecstasy", and they wanted the Angel of Death to declare holy war to several other gods.

Because they adhere to the creed of 'disobey or die' and rule the planet with an iron fist the same way they govern Gotham, they feel displeased when they see Cyborg and Starfire's followers and want to kill them all.

No cosmic crisis has anything to do with them. Their goal is to help the Death Angel unify the Ghost Sector, and then monitor and control every creature living here.

There are probably hundreds of billions of people in this star field. After killing 99% of the heretics and unbelievers, we will probably have a few million people left. Even if we consume the human resources in the universe, we may not be able to face Pei. There are no soldiers available in Patua, but it is also very honorable to die in battle with God.

When the Angel of Death was in Gotham, he tended to fight violence with violence and killed countless people. But now that he knew that every manpower could be a bargaining chip against the enemy, he was unwilling to go on a killing spree.

And it's a bit too crazy to kill people just for belief in something like this, so during these days, besides helping Darkseid find strange boxes, he spent more time doing Tai Chi with Rapture and his cult.

Even if everyone has their own personal affairs, superheroes are still superheroes after all. A few months later, they still put together the strange box and handed it over to Darkseid.

result? The result is that the Dark Lord is back...
