"Loneliness... alienation... fear... despair... self-worth... mockery... condemnation... misunderstanding..."
As a string of mysterious symbols and numerical sequences flashed through his eyes, Darkseid began muttering to himself in an indistinct voice.
Almost at the same time, the Omega symbol on his chest began to flicker with a faint glow, and some indescribably terrifying power started spreading outward from this place.
A Fighter from New Genesis broke through countless obstacles and rushed forward, swinging his sword in an attempt to chop off the Dark Lord's head.
But after a single glance from Darkseid, he completely lost himself and became a puppet like one pulled by strings. He turned around and began attacking his own comrades.
Several New Genesis New Gods who failed to react in time were killed by the sudden attack, their eyes still filled with shock and disbelief.
Because they had no idea just how terrifying the power of the Anti-Life Equation truly was.
It could even be said that it was like administrator privileges on the current universe's server.
Once obtained, one could freely alter the entire framework of the universe's permissions beneath the Anti-Life Equation.
For example, directly tampering with a person's mind, will, memories, personality, and even their soul, the most essential core of life itself.
Even more terrifyingly, this tampering was unlike hypnosis, suggestion, Charm, memory erasure, and similar methods, which had some chance of being noticed by the target.
Instead, it reshaped the target from the Root.
In other words, being controlled by the Anti-Life Equation not only meant it was permanent and impossible to escape, but the person themselves would firmly believe that this was the path in life they had chosen.
"Damn it! Stop him! Don't let him continue reading and understanding the Anti-Life Equation!"
Highfather clearly understood what Darkseid's bizarre state meant.
