Just as Link found himself facing an unprecedented dilemma, Batman's icy voice rang out in a secret base deep beneath the ruins of Wakanda.
"Prometheus Protocol, activate."
He had waited far too long for this moment.
While those incomprehensible "Eradicators" occupied all of Link's attention, units of well-trained mortal fighters from the Resistance Army launched simultaneous uprisings across the globe.
Their leader was the man who embodied an indomitable will—Captain America, Steve Rogers.
"Everyone! Take up your weapons! We fight not for gods, but for freedom!"
In Berlin, Steve led a group of soldiers he had awakened, shield in hand, rescuing survivors from the chaos and establishing independent shelters. They openly fought Link's Tech Forces, which were still carrying out their "Order" directives, competing for the people's trust. People discovered that, faced with the apocalypse, that distant god was powerless. These mortal heroes, who bled and grew weary, were their true protectors.
And in New York, this grand spectacle of "judgment" reached its climax.
Times Square had been reduced to rubble. Only by exhausting every ounce of his strength had Link temporarily driven back a giant Eradicator that had tried to erase the entire square. He was panting, trying to understand how these damned things worked.
Suddenly, a streak of golden light tore through the blood-red sky.
Wonder Woman, Diana, descended from the heavens like a Valkyrie from ancient myth and landed before Link. Clad in golden armor, she held the Godslayer Spear—[Law Ripper]—which radiated the aura of "void."
Through a secret signal source controlled by Batman, her image was broadcast to every screen in the world that still functioned.
"Link!"
Diana's voice, filled with divine majesty and mortal fury, thundered through the sky.
"You stripped us of our freedom with false peace; you destroyed our will with absolute power.
