"Mechanical Demon King, you think you've won? This is only the beginning. I won't lose."
Serpent God Set snorted and blocked Trigon's fist with his tail. Then one of his heads spat a black ball into the void. It exploded ahead of him, forming a massive Spatial Vortex.
On the other side of the Spatial Vortex were the Apokolips Warships led by Darkseid. For ease of space travel, Darkseid, Desaad, Superboy, the Parademons, and the others were all aboard the Apokolips Warships.
Clearly, Serpent God Set was ready to play his hidden card, Darkseid. Reluctant as he was, he had no choice now but to bring Darkseid into the battle early.
"Darkseid, come help me deal with Trigon."
"As for everyone else, go to Earth and stop the Green Lantern Corps and the Yellow Lantern Corps," Serpent God Set shouted. "Under no circumstances can you let them wipe out those zombies."
Serpent God Set needed Darkseid to help him keep Trigon occupied. Only then could he recover the demon kings he had "lost" and send them to the Gotham battlefield to turn the tide.
Besides, the zombies' slaughter of civilians was tied to the birth of the Death Angel. The Death Angel was the foundation of Serpent God Set's plans, and he would never allow the zombie plan to fail.
"Trigon?"
Darkseid glanced at Trigon and said, "Snake God, my target isn't Trigon. It's that despicable Andrew Wang."
"Trigon is Andrew Wang's avatar. You can only defeat Andrew Wang by defeating him."
At Serpent God Set's words, Darkseid froze for a moment. Then he stepped excitedly into the Endless Void. "Andrew Wang, so you have formidable combat power as well as your vile schemes?
"This is... wonderful. Only someone like you deserves to bear the full force of my wrath."
