Chapter Summaries

Chu Men subdued Trigon and brought his companions to the Still Dimension, where the Lords of Order and Chaos prepared to erase him. He shattered the Eternal Balance, struck God Nabu with its base, and kicked Xia Nuo into the interdimensional turbulence.

• Chu Men imprinted Trigon, shrinking him into a flower-covered red dog who submitted as the Divine Temple's third guard beast.
• God Nabu and the Lords of Chaos discussed Chu Men's destruction of Heaven and Hell and ordered the Sorcerers Supreme recalled and ancient beings awakened.
• The Eternal Balance shattered as Chu Men entered the Still Dimension with Lucifer, Clark, and Trigon, then mocked the assembled rulers.
• Chu Men seized the Eternal Balance's base and smashed God Nabu's mask, sending him crashing through three pillars.
• Xia Nuo tried to escape into a chaotic rift, but Chu Men kicked him into a compressed ball that flew into interdimensional turbulence.

Chu Men pulled Nabu’s true spirit and the Helmet of Fate out of the source of time, crushed Nabu’s consciousness, and gave the helmet to Diana. As the group returned, Bruce Wayne used Jim Corrigan’s police badge and his own blood to summon Phantom for a final attack.

• The remaining Lords of Order and Chaos fled while Lucifer warned Trigon to guard the Divine Temple more carefully.
• Nabu escaped into the River of Time, but Chu Men reached into it and uprooted Nabu’s true spirit and the Helmet of Fate from the source of time.

• In a flooded bunker, Bruce Wayne rejected Alfred’s pleas to stop and used Jim Corrigan’s police badge in a blood offering to summon Phantom.
• The badge erupted with eerie green light as Bruce called on Phantom to judge Chu Men.

Phantom descended on the One God Temple to erase Chu Men, but discovered that the Supreme Holy Spirit served as Chu Men’s lamp and Heaven and Hell now worked for him. Unable to reconcile his directives, Phantom’s logic collapsed and he vanished, leaving Bruce to die in despair.

• Phantom appeared over the One God Temple and condemned Chu Men to complete erasure in the Supreme Creator’s name.
• Bruce saw Phantom arrive in the surveillance feed and believed the Spirit of Vengeance could defeat Chu Men.
• Chu Men showed Phantom the lamp containing the Creator Holy Spirit, who identified Chu Men as its master.
• Lucifer explained that Heaven and Hell had joined the One God Temple Group, while Michael guarded the entrance and Trigon watched the yard.
• Phantom’s conflicting directives caused his logic to fail, and Chu Men’s breath made his form crumble into smoke.
• Bruce’s police badge snapped, and he collapsed dead in the mine after seeing Phantom destroyed.
