The elderly Lucifer had taken control of most of the DC Universe’s authority and explained his plan to seize power in Marvel through his counterpart, Lu Xi. With Lu Xi refusing to come, Lucifer wondered whether the final step had failed or his plan had a flaw.

• OBA hurried into Heaven and asked the elderly Lucifer why Lu Xi had not arrived and whether the plan had failed.
• The elderly Lucifer recalled that he had imprisoned the wounded Supreme God and absorbed ninety percent of his authority without killing him, which would destroy the DC Universe.
• Lucifer had subdued OBA and forced him to lure One-Above-All into the DC Universe so they could strip him of his authority and imprison him.

• Lucifer realized Lu Xi had noticed something was wrong and refused to come, and he began wondering whether his plan had a flaw.
