Darkseid

Apokolips.

The earth was cracked and fiery lava spewed from the parched surface. Sulfur and violent volcanic eruptions were everywhere. The environment here was harsher than Hell, and ordinary creatures could not survive. A suffocating aura permeated the air, and the entire planet was shrouded in the immense aura of the dark tyrant Darkseid, who ruled over it.

Here, the strong reign supreme, and the victor is king! On the cracked, crimson earth, a vast expanse teems with cruel, violent, and dark energy. There stands a temple of a dark tyrant, dominating this dark planet.

Inside the temple, a towering, dark throne, seemingly piercing the sky, was stained black by the blood of countless powerful figures, exuding a terrifying and suffocating oppression.

On that dark throne sat Darkseid, his face cold. His tight-fitting armor could not conceal the violent power beneath it. His terrifying flesh seemed to burst forth, with suffocating muscle lines prominently displayed on his armor.

His face had undergone countless changes over the years, time was eternal and could not harm him, it was deeply etched on his cold and domineering face, his cracked skin was like the parched earth, showing endless domineering, a pair of condescending, merciless red eyes, cruel, brutal, and terrifying.

Ordinary deities, when facing him, would not dare to even look him in the eye, let alone attack him.

Facing Darkseid, the fear and helplessness Darkseid evokes are like the sense of powerlessness and fear that ordinary, insignificant humans feel when facing nature; it can deeply oppress anyone's soul.

He is Darkseid, the most fearsome dark tyrant in the God's Domain.

At this moment, Darkseid's rock-cracked face remained expressionless, his merciless crimson eyes looking down at the kneeling Steppenwolf.

"Steppenwolf, you mean... you want to stop me?"

Darkseid's voice resounded throughout the hall, ruthless and cold, with a heavy tone like a mountain, carrying a terrifying majesty that pressed down on the hall.

The Steppenwolf, kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble. Even though he was Darkseid's uncle and had supported him to ascend to the throne of Apokolips long ago, Darkseid would not show any pity or mercy because of any relationship.

The laws of Apokolips dictate that no one can defy Darkseid.

The consequences of disobeying or offending Darkseid will be worse than death.

"No, everything I did was for Darkseid, for Apokolips."

Steppenwolf's gaze hardened for a moment as he spoke. He raised his head, staring into Darkseid's terrifying, crimson eyes, and continued, "Dark Lord, Ba Miu Luo Di is nothing but a Joker, bait used by the Skyfather to carry out his schemes. He is not worth our time."

Darkseid's rock-cracked face twitched slightly, and his eyes suddenly began to glow with a fiery red light. He spoke coldly and domineeringly, "Since when have people dared to challenge my reputation, and yet you haven't taken the initiative to defend it?"

Darkseid stared at Steppenwolf with bloodshot eyes, clearly displeased with Steppenwolf's words. He was worried that Steppenwolf might not say anything to his liking in the next moment.

Then, Darkseid's famous Omega Beam will pierce through his skull, causing Steppenwolf excruciating pain.

Steppenwolf's expression changed. Darkseid's merciless eyes seemed to be about to unleash Omega Beam, making it hard for Steppenwolf to breathe. Steppenwolf hurriedly said, "No, my lord!"

"However, at this moment, it is not appropriate for us to have a conflict with our Skyfather."

"Especially at this moment in the God's Domain, the Dark Lord, the Only God of all, sensed that the God's Domain was about to undergo a terrifying change. The more powerful the Only God, the more he understood this change."

"Having experienced the Dark Lord, we should conserve our strength for the future, rather than waging war against the Skyfather now!"

Steppenwolf gritted his teeth and voiced his suggestion, which was tantamount to allowing Ba Miu Luo Di to continue plundering the prestige and uniqueness of the Omega Symbol, something Darkseid could not tolerate.

But now is really not the time to start a war.

Even the thought that the Skyfather had chosen this moment to start a war made Steppenwolf feel uneasy. This was definitely not the time to start a war; it was far too delicate a moment.

Upon hearing Steppenwolf's words, Darkseid's crimson eyes shone even more terrifyingly, their blood-red gleaming even brighter.

His cracked face contorted for a moment, and a cold, angry snort escaped from his nostrils.

It exuded a terrifying aura of unwillingness and struggle, like a Tyrannosaurus Rex bound by iron chains, with a violent rage rising in its heart. Its cracked gray skin exuded a terrifying sense of power. The angry will was transmitted to this hall, and it pressed down like a storm, causing the Steppenwolf's body to tilt down and stick to the ground.

How could he tolerate a Joker stealing his name! He was Darkseid.

The most fearsome tyrant in the God's Domain! A dark monarch who roams the God's Domain, has countless enemies, and inspires fear in countless people.

His body remained seated on the throne, his exposed arms incredibly strong, the gray, cracked skin radiating boundless power.

Suddenly, Darkseid's eyes flashed with a brutal light.

'Bang!'

Suddenly, Darkseid clenched his fist and slammed it into the gauntlet of the throne, causing it to explode. The dark gauntlet shattered into pieces that scattered in all directions, unleashing a sonic boom that struck the Steppenwolf lying on the ground, making a series of 'bang bang' sounds as it hit the armor.

"Prepare for war. I will turn Ba Miu Luo Di into Parademon, just like my poor brother," Darkseid said mercilessly.

Steppenwolf's heart sank. He looked up at Darkseid, his face tightening. He wanted to continue persuading Darkseid, but seeing Darkseid's merciless crimson eyes and the Omega Beam about to burst forth, he shut his mouth and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Yes, my lord!"

Steppenwolf bowed deeply to Darkseid and then stepped out of the hall.

Behind him, Darkseid still sat on the Dark Throne, looking down upon the entire Apokolips Apokolips. He was the god of Apokolips, symbolizing its power, and no one could defy his will.

Perhaps they wanted a final, desperate war, a fight to the death, to determine the meaning of the existence of New Genesis and Apokolips.

'The end of endless years...'

Ultimately, this is the meaning behind why both Skyfather and Darkseid chose to fight at this moment!

Steppenwolf thought to himself, as Darkseid's terrifying figure gradually receded behind him.
