The entire fleet's command system fell into chaos.
In a basement somewhere.
Bruce·Wayne, was also shocked.
He had just issued the order for a general attack.
In the secret base of the Seventeen-Nation Secret Alliance, missiles carrying the last hope of mankind have entered the launch process.
But now, he hesitated.
He looked at the screen, the figure that was still the Batman Who Laughs under the overwhelming power of Darkseid.
He suddenly realized an extremely terrifying possibility.
Chu Men... He seems to be... using Darkseid to make himself stronger?
Every time he was injured, every time he was forced into a desperate situation, it only made him more terrifying.
If now, he uses the last strength of mankind to attack Darkseid and help Chu Men share the pressure...
In the end, what kind of unbeatable and real demon will be cultivated?
"Stop... stop all attacks!"
At the last second, Bruce used all his strength to shout these words.
He can't gamble.
He cannot be the catalyst for the birth of that devil.
He could only watch helplessly as the two monsters continued their war that could destroy the world.
He felt an unprecedented chill.
Darkseid noticed the strange changes in Chu Men's body.
Every time it collides with his Divine Power, the power of this mortal thing will have a weak but real increase.
He is like a sponge, frantically absorbing his own power and converting it into his own nutrients.
He is... evolving!
This realization made Darkseid feel unprecedented anger and a bit of... uneasiness from the depths of his soul.
He couldn't tangle with this monster any longer.
He must be completely eliminated as quickly as possible!
"It seems that I underestimated you."
Darkseid's voice became extremely cold.
"You can be proud of yourself for forcing me to this point."
He slowly opened his arms, a force that was more terrifying, profound, and chaotic than ever before.
From the deepest part of his soul, he was slowly released.
"But everything ends here."
"Witness true despair, mortal!"
"In front of Anti-Life Equation, all freedom is vain!"
Buzz...
With Darkseid as the center, a gray field unfolded instantly.
The gray seemed to be alive, spreading in all directions at an incredible speed.
It swallowed up the redness of the magma, the blueness of the sea water, the darkness of the sky, and the firelight of the explosion...
It swallows up all the colors in the world.
The entire Gotham ruins, together with the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of sea and sky, turned into a monotonous and despairing gray at this moment.
In this gray field, ancient, twisted, gray symbols full of despair and obedience appeared out of the sky.
They are like chains, like shackles, completely imprisoning the entire space.
Anti-Life Equation.
The ultimate mathematical proof of mind control in the universe.
It proves that all emotions such as hope, love, and freedom are meaningless random variables.
The only and absolute truth of life is...
[Darkseid is everything.]
When this equation unfolded, all the creatures shrouded in the gray realm underwent strange changes.
In the ruins of One God Temple, the super villains enslaved by Chu Men, such as Scarecrow, Bane and others, stiffened suddenly.
The dark red mark belonging to Chu Men in their eyes began to flash violently, as if they were being strongly disturbed.
Then their eyes became hollow, dull, and lost all color.
Their souls are being forcibly stripped and rewritten by Anti-Life Equation.
And in the medical room of Divine Temple.
Clark and Diana, which had just been dragged in by the robot and were still soaked in nutrient solution, also experienced the same changes.
The dark red mark on Clark's chest and the enslavement rune on Diana's forehead began to become bright and dim.
Their bodies twitched uncontrollably.
Their consciousness fell into chaos.
Two completely different, equally domineering forces of mind control are engaged in a cruel tug-of-war in their souls.
Chu Men's Spiritual Imprint is telling them to obey Chu Men absolutely.
And Anti-Life Equation is proving to them that Darkseid is the ultimate in everything.
This tearing from the soul level caused their vital signs to begin to self-destruct at an extremely terrifying speed.
Their hearts began to stop beating.
Their cells began to stop dividing.
Their body functions are rapidly dying.
They are becoming real, soulless living Deadman.
And the initiator of all this, Darkseid, just looked at it all coldly.
His goal, from beginning to end, was only Chu Men.
"Now, it's your turn."
Darkseid looked at the tiny figure completely surrounded by gray runes, his voice full of divine judgment.
"Feel this truth, and then give up your ridiculous self."
"Kneel down and become a part of me."
The countless gray runes, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed towards Chu Men crazily.
They want to penetrate into his body, penetrate into his soul, and imprint the equation that represents the absolute truth into every corner of his existence.
They want him to understand that freedom and hope are both vain.
They want him to understand that resistance and struggle are meaningless.
They want him to understand that only obeying Darkseid is the only destination of life.
Chu Men stood there, motionless.
Various illusions began to appear before his eyes.
He saw his previous life, in that small, depressing office, working endless overtime shifts day after day.
He saw his boss's face full of contempt and impatience.
"This plan doesn't work, try it again!"
"Everyone will work overtime tonight to get this project out!"
"Xiao Chu, young people, you should endure more hardships and don't always think about rest."
He saw the numb and tired eyes of his colleagues.
He saw himself bowing his head and smiling at himself for the meager salary.
He saw that he was like a dog, being yelled at and trampled on, but he didn't even dare to say "no".
Hope? Freedom? Dignity?
What is that? Can it be eaten?
Just living means using up all your strength.
Resistance is meaningless.
Obedience is the only way out.
As long as you give up thinking, give up yourself, and follow the orders of your superiors like a robot, you can survive.
Yes, that's it...
Give up...
Kneel down...
