Purple divine blood rained down like a storm.

Jiang Li's green tentacles, radiating the light of high-dimensional data, were firmly embedded in Darkseid's thick, severed arm.

With an extremely piercing extraction sound, the arm containing the primal power of Apokolips withered and died at a visible speed.

"New Gods gene, acquired."

Jiang Li, now transformed into [XLR8], flicked the purple blood off the Ascalon Holy Sword.

He raised his head, and his cold eyes, hidden beneath the mask, locked onto Darkseid was thousands of meters away, clutching his severed arm and howling in pain.

"That's not enough?"

Jiang Li his sword in one hand, and the wheels beneath his feet began to emit a deathly shriek.

"I thought your divine body was incredibly tough. It seems you're nothing more than a slightly more advanced stepping stone."

Whoosh!

Jiang Li once again transformed into a deathly afterimage of interwoven black and blue light, dragging a scarlet sword beam as he hurtled straight toward Darkseid's head!

"You scum... you'll remember this!!!"

As the crimson sword light, powerful enough to sever dimensions, approached.

On Darkseid's battered face, an emotion he had never shown before finally surfaced—

Extreme fear and despair!

We can't beat them. We absolutely can't beat them!

His power was completely suppressed, his rays were used as a power source, and even his proud physical defenses became a joke in front of that strange longsword!

If the fighting continues, this New Gods will perish here today!

Boom!

Darkseid frantically burned up all the remaining Omega Source within his body.

Instead of using it for attack, he threw a powerful punch at the void of space behind him!

Click--!

He forcefully smashed open a blood-red black hole that was extremely unstable and radiated violent dark energy.

This is the escape route to the deepest and most chaotic part of the DC Multiverse, the "Omega Abyss".

Laugh!

Jiang Li's holy sword instantly sliced through the spot where Darkseid had just been standing.

A smooth crack was cut through the space.

But Darkseid's body, 0.01 seconds ahead, had already fallen miserably into the blood-red black hole.

The black hole closed instantly.

All that remained was a divine curse, filled with endless resentment and humiliation, echoing through space.

"They escaped?"

Jiang Li stopped and hovered in space.

He didn't chase after them.

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy?" No, it was because the system notification sound had completely exploded in his mind!

[Bite--!!!]

[High-level genetic data captured successfully! Species confirmed: New Gods of Apokolips!]

[Omega Effect resistance - now perfectly included!]

[New Gods Power Template - Unlocked!]

What followed was a series of insane announcements that sent chills down Jiang Li's spine and sent shivers down his Soul Stone:

[Ding! Detected that the host has shattered Darkseid's divine body! Severely injured and banished the Dark Tyrant!]

[The supreme rule of Apokolips... has been absolutely transferred!]

[The DC Universe has been triggered by extreme shock, awe, and submission!]

[Emotion Points is exploding: +1 billion! +3 billion! +5 billion!]

[Emotion Points surpasses 10 billion!!!]

10 billion Emotion Points!

Jiang Li took a deep breath. He could even feel that the ocean of computing power within the Omnitrix had surged to a terrifying level that was enough to shake the dimensions of the Omniverse.

With this 10 billion, he could even forcibly maintain the highest level of authority of [Ultimate Alien X] for more than half an hour!

Swish.

Jiang Li tapped the watch face, deactivating the transformation.

He casually stored the Ascalon Holy Sword into the void.

He straightened the collar of his black trench coat and slowly turned around.

Looking down at the ruined Apokolips beneath his feet, half of which had been destroyed by his single blast, leaving only rubble and devastation everywhere.

In space.

The fifty Marvel Celestials, whose figures resembled stars, stood in neat rows behind Jiang Li.

Like fifty of the most loyal and ferocious cosmic-level bodyguards.

And below.

A massive army of hundreds of billions of originally bloodthirsty and insane Parademons.

At this moment, they resembled a swarm of wasps that had lost their queen and were terrified.

They all folded their wings and descended in a dark mass onto the scorched ground.

DeSaad, the Grand Administrator of Darkseid and Chief Torturer of Apokolips.

This once treacherous and vicious New Gods was now trembling violently, as if it were a leaf.

He looked at the human youth in the sky, surrounded by Marvel's creator gods, and at the purple divine blood remaining in the other's hand.

DeSaad's knees buckled.

The torture instrument, the staff, fell to the ground with a clatter.

Bang!

He fell heavily to his knees, pressing his head firmly against the scorching hot rock.

It let out an extremely shrill scream, yet filled with absolute submission:

"Apokolips... Welcome to our great and supreme new master!!!"

The sound was like the first Domino to be switched on.

Splash--!!!

On Apokolips, all the remaining New Gods generals, all the billions of Parademons armies, and all the slaves.

At this moment.

Facing the black-clad youth in space, they all knelt down in unison, like a tsunami!

There was no resistance. There was no questioning.

Faced with absolute violence and dimensional reduction attacks.

Darkseid's rule was completely overthrown.

"Very good."

Jiang Li a step forward.

The space automatically folds for him.

The next second, he appeared directly inside the black royal palace on Apokolips, where half of the dome had been cut off.

At the end of the main hall.

It is that enormous throne, a symbol of the highest tyranny in the DC Universe, crafted from the bones of countless gods.

Even after being struck by a planet-destroying Omega Beam, this throne, protected by the laws of nature, still stands there intact.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Jiang Li's military boots slammed against the scorched floor as he walked to the throne.

He turned around and sat down with a flourish.

His arms rested casually on the cold, skeletal armrests.

A sense of absolute power, as if he controlled two major American comic book universes and reigned supreme, brought a smile of extreme enjoyment to Jiang Li's lips.

"This feeling is even better than being on the moon."

He leaned back in his chair, preparing to take stock of the incredible skill set that had just been unleashed on the Justice League and Darkseid.

However.

The moment he raised his head.

Jiang Li's gaze was suddenly drawn to an extremely large holographic star map directly in front of the throne.

This is a high-dimensional radar star map used by Darkseid to observe the entire DC Multiverse.

Countless points of light, including Earth, the ruins of Krypton, and Oa, are flashing on it.

but.

At the very edge of the star map, which represents the physical boundary of the DC Universe.

There is a large, extremely eerie area.

That area has no stars, no dimensions.

The holographic projection there turned into a huge, glaring patch of "pixels," resembling system gibberish!

The edges of the mosaic even faintly gleamed with an extremely cold, pure blue light.

[Warn!]

When the system in Jiang Li's mind scanned that area, it suddenly popped up an extremely glaring red warning.

[A physical barrier beyond the Multiverse level has been detected!]

[Barrier Name: Source Wall!]

[Status: Observer restricted area! Unexplorable! Uninterruptible!]

"The Source Wall?"

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course he knew where that place was.

That was the absolute boundary of the DC Universe. The walls were covered with the corpses of countless ancient gods who had tried to peek into the truth of the universe.

Behind the wall lies the ultimate origin of the DC Universe.

But what Jiang Li cared about wasn't this wall.

Instead, it was that extremely abrupt word in the system prompt—"Observer".

Buzz--

Just as Jiang Li was staring at that mosaic area...

The pure blue light on that star chart suddenly flickered eerily.

Immediately afterwards, a very blurry symbol faintly appeared within that blue light.

An atomic model... the symbol for the hydrogen atom.

A gaze of absolute materialism, ten thousand times more terrifying than Darkseid, completely transcending the categories of "tyrant" and "god."

It traversed endless space.

It landed on Jiang Li, who was sitting on the throne, with extreme cold.

"Oh?"

Jiang Li felt no fear whatsoever.

The computing power within his body even emitted a slight trembling roar due to excitement.

Jiang Li stared at the hydrogen atom symbol on the star map.

The tyrannical smile at the corner of his mouth was stretched to its extreme.

"Quantum God? Doctor Manhattan?"

"What's wrong? You blue observer, finally can't sit still anymore?"
