Lex Luthor, God of Apokolips?

"He's just an ordinary person." Cyborg's warning light flashed again. "No, he has more white blood cells than the average person, and he's stronger. A superpower that prevents him from getting sick?"

"An ordinary person?" Darkseid sneered. "Trying to kill me?"

He could also see the man's weakness; even if the man did not resist and allowed himself to do as he pleased, he would be fine.

Steppenwolf, on the other hand, felt despair. If Apokolips were conquered, what would become of his compatriots stationed on the colonies?

"Where is this?" Lex ignored the strangers' comments and turned to the only person he recognized. "Clark?"

He had long known that he was ordinary by the standard of judging by superpowers.

While other Kryptonite-infused superhumans possessed cool abilities such as teleportation, the power of words, Prophecy, invulnerability, superhuman strength, Transfiguration, life absorption for immortality, and telekinesis, he was simply immune to all diseases and had lost almost all his hair, leaving only his eyelashes.

"Apokolips, a territory I've found for your irrepressible ambition," Basil said. "Now all you need is one assassin."

"It's him? Another alien." Lex frowned as he drew a dagger.

"Kryptonian script." Superman, who had been somewhat puzzled when Lex addressed Basil Clark, finally realized.

Superman's voice made Lex instinctively turn his head. "The Al family crest, Clark, you've found another relative?"

"You're also from the Al family?" Superman asked with a mix of joy and doubt. "But I only have one cousin who hasn't even arrived on Earth yet."

"Clark," Batman interjected, "Is you, the you from another world."

As he spoke, his peripheral vision kept following Lex —the future ruler of Apokolips.

Just like Iron Man is wary of everyone, including himself, and sets up all sorts of anti-series armor.

He also created a file for all the people or things he thought were worthy of attention.

"I see." Superman realized. "That's why this Kryptonian, who is also called Zod, has such a special form of power. It's because he is Zod from another world."

"So you're Clark from another world?" Lex scrutinized Superman critically. "You look a little too ordinary."

"Our Lex Luthor here has long, flowing hair," Superman retorted slyly.

"Oh?" Lex wasn't surprised. His father, Leno, still had long hair even in middle age. If he hadn't been affected by the Kryptonite radiation, he would have been just like him in this world.

He's only curious now.

"So, what's our relationship like? Is he still alive?"

Hearing such a strange question, Superman was puzzled but replied immediately, "The enemy kidnapped my mother just to make me an enemy of Bruce, and created Doomsday. They almost destroyed the Earth in order to destroy me."

"He is dead, killed by Clark from your world."

"As expected." Lex smiled slightly, his fingers unconsciously fumbling for the dagger in his hand.

This is Starblade.

It can grant ordinary people power beyond that of ordinary Kryptonian, and inflict wounds on Kryptonian that are difficult to heal.

In the Kavachi's traditions and in the cave Prophecy, it was a weapon reserved for the Chosen One would descend from heaven to kill his nemesis.

It will turn to ashes in the hands of its nemesis.

In the future that Basil once spoke of, this nemesis was him, and the Starblade was destroyed in his hands.

And now, it is proof that he is no longer Basil's nemesis.

Proof of their friendship.

"Lex, make your move. Use Starblade," Basil said.

This dagger seems useless, because it won't make Kryptonian stronger.

But in reality, this Starblade is the embodiment of Clark's genetic code.

It was a trump card for Basil, the Chosen One who descended from the heavens.

It was not until Basil descended to Earth that it fully took shape.

Whether it's because Blue Kryptonite loses its power or Green Kryptonite is powerless to resist, Starblade will become another Basil, granting the Primarch power.

It will also become stronger as Basil becomes stronger.

In fact, everything about the original Clark was planned perfectly.

The place he landed at was always guarded by a race— the Kavachi, also known as the Phantom Beast, who guarded the Kryptonian caves and the relics within.

They believed in the Prophecy of the Chosen One, and that the god Nama would come to earth with heavenly fire.

Nama was not only incredibly strong and invulnerable to weapons, but his eyes could also unleash raging flames.

Five hundred years ago, Nama, or Kryptonian and fell in love with a Kavachi.

They were born to be Basil's helpers.

However, the Luthor family, one of the Veritas Society from which Jor-El was born, occupied the cave.

The Starblade also fell into the hands of Leno Luthor, who was not yet Jor El's psychic and was still in a corrupt phase.

Clark was also interfered with by Jor-El and sent to the home of a family he knew when he arrived on Earth, namely the Kent family.

As a result, in the original timeline, Clark High School only discovered the cave by accident, losing the help of the Kavachi and the trump card, Starblade.

The Starblade's final purpose—to identify Clark's nemesis—was rendered almost useless because Leno and Lex both came into contact with Starblade at the same time.

The growing estrangement between Clark and Lex stemmed largely from the prejudice against the Luthor family that Old Kent inherited from Lex.

In short, Joe Al is the root of all evil.

"Starblade?" Darkseid looked at the dagger. "An interesting weapon. Your body is covered by an anti-mass energy field."

"This aura"

He completely ignored Luthor.

Luthor is only used as an accessory to Starblade.

"Uxus, are you just going to give up like this?" Steppenwolf called out Darkseid's original name as Lex approached, urging him on.

"Resist?" Darkseid scoffed. "Darkseid will die in a manner befitting Darkseid."

He had already noticed that the force field on the Starblade was similar to the aura emanating from Basil.

This is tantamount to Basil killing him with his own hands.

"I am Darkseid now!" Steppenwolf roared, the crimson Omega Effect locking onto Lex's weapon.

"Fool." Darkseid closed his eyes.

This power, enough to extinguish stars and erase everything, vanished into thin air before the seemingly ordinary dagger.

Lex didn't even pause.

He raised his arm high, and crimson energy waves swirled around his body, impossible to penetrate.

"It seems you're quite remarkable," Lex said.

He swung his arm down.

Goodbye, Urxus.

Darkseid, at the age of eight, could withstand the full force of Zeus's thunderbolt, which split his head in two like tofu, along with the head of Steppenwolf that had been resisting below.

Both heads turned to ashes.

A crimson energy ball, resembling a beating heart, flew out from the ground and hovered in front of Lex.

"What is this?" Lex turned his head.

"The Omega Effect," Basil said. "The symbol of the god Apokolips."

"It is essentially the manifestation of the power of termination, capable of completely Oblivion all matter."

"After the previous owner dies, it will return to Apokolips to find the next eligible life."

"Eligible?" Lex lowered his Starblade. "And now?"

The ball of light eagerly plunged into his heart.

"This is."

He knelt on the ground, crimson light waves dissipated, and everything around him except for the Starblade turned into nothingness.

"To harness this power, one must have a clear desire," Basil points out, "Or rather, one must not deceive oneself to use it."

"Now, tell him what you want to do."

Lex suddenly looked up, "I'll turn you into a bald man like me!"

The crimson light waves instantly entered his body, then shot out from his eyes, heading towards Basil's head, eyebrows, and even groin.

"You learn very quickly." The power of the Omega Effect, when it came within a foot of Basil, obediently lay down in his hand like a kitten. "But it doesn't work on me."

The outstretched hand was directed at Lex.

There was no warning whatsoever.

A crimson pillar of light enveloped Lex, turning him into nothingness.

"What are you doing!" Superman instinctively tried to step forward. "He's your friend!"

Snap!

Basil snapped his the Snap.

Lex, who had vanished into nothingness, reappeared in the same spot.

He looked at Superman with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, "This is a lesson."

"The people and things destroyed by the Omega Effect can be reproduced by their owners an infinite number of times through infinite destruction."

"You should have learned it by now, right?"

Lex had just been resurrected, didn't even have a racing heartbeat. As if he knew he would be resurrected, he nodded without hesitation when faced with Basil's question.

Snap!

It's the same the Snap.

The previously vanished floor and sunken ground instantly returned as if time had reversed.

"Back to the previous topic, qualifications," Lex said. "This shouldn't be without your help, and besides, who else is qualified?"

"Besides me?" Basil repeated, "That makes three."

"That big idiot Clark, Bruce Ron, and you."

"My Diana is because she is integrated into her life; all her divine power is no less than the Omega Effect to her."

"The Flash is because his Speed Force is, in some ways, even greater than the nature of the Omega Effect."

As the Flash repeatedly asked, "Really?" and "You're not kidding me," and Batman's eyes grew even more somber, Basil continued, "Zod, it's because he has no self."

"The Omega Effect does not select inanimate objects."

"So, including you, there are actually seven people who qualify," Lex said.

He suddenly put his hand on his face and began to rub it. "But it's good that it didn't turn into lava-like skin like Uxus's."

But how do I get back?

He looked at Basil.

Basil whistled, avoiding his gaze, "The Mother Box can open a sonic boom channel that traverses the universe."

"Starblade can guide you."

"You just need to figure it out a bit, and the time it takes depends on your progress."

"Why don't you come back to Earth with us?" Cyborg said. "My father is very knowledgeable about the Mother Box."

He said this partly out of sympathy and partly out of caution.

The name Lex Luthor made him wary.

Therefore, they wanted to get close to this god of Apokolips.

But having been born from the Mother Box himself, he knows just how complex the Mother Box really is.

This is estimated to take several centuries.

He couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"You?" Lex noticed Cyborg's skin color. "Father?"

"I'm not being presumptuous, but your father should be your adoptive father, right?"

Cyborg's sympathy vanished instantly. "Not everyone in our species is without a father."

"You're so lucky."

Lex's words contained no sarcasm whatsoever, only sincere blessings.

But this actually caused the Cyborg to almost turn red-hot.

Even though he was half a machine, the speed of his mechanical engine had just increased a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

"By the way, researching the Mother Box doesn't have to be so complicated." As Lex spoke, a glint of light from the corner of his eye instantly passed through the sonic boom and landed on the Mother Box on the other side of Earth.

The Mother Box appears to be intact.

But in reality, he destroyed it and then reappeared in a fraction of a second.

The speed was too fast to even trigger a response from the popping sound channel.

"Ah~" Lex clutched his bald head. "Knowledge is flooding in, so much, so full, it's about to overflow. It's about to explode!"

Bang--!

His brain exploded like fireworks.

The Flash was just about to scream.

The exploded head seemed to reshape itself as if time had reversed, then exploded again, and reshaped again.

This step was repeated nearly ten times.

"It won't explode again, will it?" The Flash asked cautiously.

"No," Lex shook his head. "It was just that I had too much knowledge just now."

"Based on my preliminary calculations, it will take me about a year to fully understand and digest the technology of the Mother Box."

"This is still based on the premise that I am God and I no longer need food or sleep."

He looked at Basil with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"No, don't look at me. You're not a woman, so I won't be soft-hearted," Basil said. "And you don't need to fully understand or digest this."

"You only need to learn how to use the Mother Box for cross-universe positioning and travel."

"This takes about a month."

"You will only be leaving Smallville for a month."

"Just now, I asked Tess for a month's leave for you."

"My sister? You've completely acted first and asked for permission later." Lex shrugged helplessly, then looked at Cyborg. "Back to the previous topic, can I stay on Earth for a month?"

Cyborg turned his head and said, "I'm Nicholas, who grew up with my biological father."

"Central City welcomes you." The Flash extended his hand.

"Gotham too," Batman said.

"Atlantis will not disappoint you, the underwater city," said Aquaman.

"Metropolis" Clark thought of Lois and his mother.

He had Lex Luthor PTSD, and he swallowed his words halfway through.

"Can I go back to Themyscira now?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Actually," Diana coughed somewhat sheepishly, "Themyscira is fine."

"Basil sent Brainiac back in time to save the lives of the Amazons."

"Going back in time? Saving lives? Is that possible?" The Flash was the first to lose his composure.

When he accidentally exceeded the speed of light during a previous battle, he discovered that time was reversing.

He was tempted.

He wanted to prove his father's innocence and save his mother's life.
