DC (VIII)

The battle in the sky lasted a long time. Superman, who never liked anyone losing in games and always wanted everyone to be a winner, was more determined to fight than ever before.

Even so, Superman still inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

"What kind of opponents are these?" Superman said with a wry smile.

A beautiful, elegant, compassionate, kind, and intelligent princess who runs faster than Hell and can cast the darkest spells, raised in Hell.

Another— King of the Gods surpassing all gods, pure and powerful.

"Defeat, Clark," Wonder Woman said. "Divine grace is as vast as the sea!"

After Superman's defeat, Absolute Batman also couldn't put up much of a fight and was defeated by Wonder Woman.

"Now, let's get to the main event."

"Roland and the Flash from the Roland Universe versus Darkseid and the Green Lantern from the Roland Universe."

"Special rule: Friendly fire is prohibited."

"Oh?" Darkseid was somewhat surprised and said to Roland, "This rule—it seems to be more advantageous to me, so why add it?"

"Guess," Roland said, stepping onto the ring and beckoning to Darkseid. "Oh, and to avoid any misunderstanding, I'll tell you."

"You are the challenger!"

"You're nothing but a fish on a chopping board. What I'm going to do now is peel off your scales." Darkseid sneered, stepping onto the arena with the Spear of Longinus in his hand.

"These two guys are such show-offs." The Flash's lips twitched.

"It's been so long, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Green Lantern fired a green beam at Darkseid first. "You've been buffed, get going!"

"So that's what you were planning?" A purple barrier appeared around Darkseid, deflecting the green light.

"Teammate, your abilities are such a hindrance." Green Lantern slapped Darkseid on the shoulder, a purple light flashing, and the Willpower of Love's Fragrant Aura pierced through the purple light.

"The absolute strength that comes with it brings loneliness, and teaches you to love—"

"Boring." Darkseid completely ignored the Flash and Green Lantern, his Omega Energy covering his entire body, and wielding the Spear of Longinus, he charged straight at Roland.

In an instant, every spot on the arena, whether at the edge or the center, was filled with identical Darkseid, their Spear of Longinus swung at Roland in dense array.

"At this point, it's no longer a problem that can be solved with words." Roland conjured a massive holy image, blocking hundreds of thousands of holy spears. He then unleashed a punch, seemingly both holy and divine. A metallic clang rang out, and the illusory Spear of Longinus shattered, leaving only the original in Darkseid's possession.

"Is it okay to fight in this state?" Darkseid continued his attack.

"Of course!"

As the battle raged, their state could no longer be simply described as gods, but rather as abstract concepts representing two realities.

Their battle locations constantly shifted. In Metropolis, Roland and Superman together bisected Darkseid; on Apokolips, Darkseid led the Parademons to devour Roland; in Gotham City, Roland had everyone capture Darkseid, then kicked him in the groin; on Themyscira, Roland and Kangaroo together subjected Darkseid to a brutal beating.

One day, two days, three days----

The Flash and Green Lantern were getting tired of watching, but Roland and Darkseid continued fighting. Darkseid was constantly covered in wounds, but he was still laughing.

"The reality we live in is made up of countless coincidences and miracles, but at its core lies a simple one: life born from darkness, life constantly expanding, reality gradually enlarging—in other words, hope." Darkseid's eyes shone with an alarming light, yet no Omega Beams appeared. "Superman is the embodiment of hope, and I, Darkseid, am his opposite and constraint, like miracles and the absolute, the constants of the real Universe —but you have shown me another possibility!"

"Is that so?" Roland began to dominate the battle, defeating Darkseid. "Well—how delightful, Darkseid. I'll never forget you."

"I'm sorry I didn't give you enough fun, but we'll meet again, won't we?" Darkseid collapsed to the ground. "As the battle raged in their world, generating Omega energy, the same thing was happening in the infinite Multiverse. With each battle that broke out, the fire pit burned even brighter—and Omega Energy was also powering me—"

"At that time, an Absolute Crisis will sweep in!"

"Then let's have a good fight." Roland raised the Spear of Longinus and plunged it directly into Darkseid's head.
