A Trick Hidden Even in Desperate Straits
Ignoring the stares of others, God continued walking forward until He reached the epicenter of the explosion.
The Anti-Monitor also resurrected, but upon seeing God pass before him, he slowly spoke.
"I failed."
His original intention was to drive Kino to the brink of Extremis and force him to leave the universe, while God would take the opportunity to locate and follow Lucifer. However, he didn't expect Lucifer to be so powerful that he couldn't defeat him alone.
"You did a good job, come back."
The body of the Anti-Monitor turned into a point of light and merged into the body of God.
Barbatos shuddered; no wonder the Anti-Monitor could find him.
He's a fake, he's the incarnation of God!
The golden giant reappeared, without saying a word.
"Such a strong personality, just like my daughter."
God spoke slowly, his voice gentle yet seemingly containing endless philosophy, echoing in the void.
"..."
"You might have misunderstood. I didn't intend to kill you or imprison you. I just want to find my daughter."
"..."
Kino remained silent.
Barbatos and Brainiac, along with the surrounding gods, demons, and sorcerers, all submitted to Kino.
They drag the entire DC Universe down with them at the slightest provocation. Now that even God has implicitly backed down, they still dare to show their disrespect. Did they pick you up off the street?
God frowned.
"Kino..."
This word seemed to trigger some key phrase, Kino's enormous body began to move.
"Hahaha, God, how was my acting? Did you really think I'd risk my life for those three shark arms?"
I know what you want. It's impossible in three words: either have another baby, or try to catch me again. But next time, you'll have a hard time catching me.
I lost this time. As the victor, I won't let you come for nothing. But get ready for my spoils; I'll come back for them next time.
As soon as the words fell, the entire God's Domain fell into a deathly silence, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.
Everyone was stunned by Kino's extremely arrogant words, and only one thought remained in their minds: arrogance, haughtiness, and conceit... This was their deep impression of this New God.
Kino's body also began to change, and a crimson metallic corpse appeared on the spot, which was none other than Arishem, with six gems appearing in the holes of his eyes.
The Infinity Gems, while unable to directly draw upon the energy of the DC Universe, have limited functionality.
But it's still perfectly fine as a driving energy source.
God was not angry. Instead, he reached into the void and pulled out Kara, who had been killed by Kino, with the Black Death Sword still stuck in her chest.
"Aren't you underestimating me? The whole world is under my control. Before, I couldn't find you, but now that you've been exposed, there's no longer any possibility for you to hide again."
God spoke gently.
Kara opened her eyes—no, now it was Kino —and chuckled, trying to make a final struggle.
"Could you please let me go this time?"
"No, I'm very interested in you, and I also really like your gift."
God smiled and shook his head.
"Go to hell, you old gay man!"
Enraged, Kino drew the Black Death Sword from his back without hesitation and slashed fiercely at God.
However, God merely cast a calm glance at him, and Kino froze in mid-air, unable to move, as if struck by a spell.
Immediately afterwards, the corpses of God, Kino, and the Celestials vanished from their original positions like phantom bubbles, as if they had never existed in the first place.
Barbatos got up from the ground, his eyes still filled with fear.
He should just focus on planning Batman! He's completely outmaneuvered that madman, and even if he did manage to get under his control, he wouldn't dare use him. Who knows when that guy might drag his Dark Multiverse down with him?
The Dark Knights reappeared beside Barbatos.
Barbatos also took them back to the Dark Multiverse.
Brainiac also disappeared; without his collection, there was no point in him staying.
Zatanna also relayed this message to her Parallel World counterpart, who was taken away by God and could never reappear, whether dead or alive.
The God's Domain has returned to peace.
But privately, everyone was discussing this major battle.
Justice League lobby.
"This is the final scene. To be honest, even with Doctor Fate's help, it's a Qiji that this kind of battle scene could be preserved."
Zatanna held up images of the battle, those breathtaking scenes that deeply moved everyone present.
Clark smashed the conference table in front of him with a single punch, his eyes gleaming crimson.
"How can we find that God! Let's go save him!"
Everyone present agreed; they had all been saved by the other party in some way.
"You simply don't understand what kind of being God is. Let me put it this way: a hundred Darkseid couldn't defeat him."
Zatanna used Darkseid as an example, and they understood that Darkseid alone would require the entire Justice League to fight.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Brother Kino wouldn't have been in danger."
Barry looked remorseful and sad.
Bruce looked serious as he pondered a new plan. Suddenly, Damian, who was sitting next to him, stood up and went to Zatanna.
"Could I see it again, Aunt Zatanna?"
"... I'd prefer you to call me 'sister'."
Zatanna handed over the video with a complicated expression.
She knew that Kino was Damian's godfather, and now that his fate was unknown, Damian must be very sad.
Damian looked at it carefully, nodded, handed it back to Zatanna, returned to his original spot, and took out the game console from his bag to play.
This attitude left the others bewildered.
Are you really that heartless?
Damian, aren't you sad?
Clark asked with some concern.
"I'm so sad, I'm almost crying."
Damian nodded seriously, but his eyes never left the game console.
Bruce also reflected on his past with Kino, wondering if he had overlooked something.
Etc...
Bruce also took the video and watched it. A smile crept onto his face. "You're something else. You even had a backup plan in this Extremis."
"Meeting adjourned."
Bruce got up and walked out, and Damian put away his game console and followed. The heavy footsteps echoed in the hall, leaving behind a suffocating silence.
Barry snapped out of his daze, a glimmer of hope suddenly appearing in his eyes. He quickly picked up the video and began to look through it carefully.
"Brother Kino... cough cough, I'm off too."
Barry had barely managed a smile when he quickly covered it with his hand, feigning sadness as he left.
However, his light and quick steps betrayed the joy in his heart at that moment.
The others exchanged glances, trying to recall what they had forgotten.
What was Superman thinking?
Kino and Kara are both here, but where is that woman named Venom? Are they alright, or did they run away?
Thinking about all this, Clark couldn't help but chase after Bruce to get to the bottom of things.
The others, realizing from the others' attitudes that Kino should be alright, also left one after another.
At that moment, only Zatanna stared blankly at the image in her hand.
She had never met Kino, nor had her counterpart in the other world ever mentioned him, but she simply couldn't imagine what kind of methods could be used to escape from God's grasp.
