• Ling Yi told the heroes that the Eye of Good and Evil was accurate and challenged them to examine how their refusal to kill villains enabled further evil.

Ling Yi and the Justice Society prepared for the Gate of Hell, but Amanda ambushed them with cloned soldiers carrying Eternium Bombs. After Adam's lightning strike triggered the bombs and Shazam dispelled their blasts, Amanda threatened them with three Gold of Eternity warheads in orbit, while someone behind her challenged her willingness to sacrifice Kahndaq.

• Ling Yi explained that Sabac was Gregor, the last descendant of King Acton, wielding powers granted by Mephisto after the six Devil Kings withdrew Sabac’s original abilities.
• Ling Yi told Adam to take Sabac’s attacks without fighting back so Mephisto would not sense a threat and close the Gate of Hell.
• Adam struggled to defend himself, and Ling Yi finally announced that the Gate of Hell had stabilized and Adam could fight back.

After absorbing Hell’s accumulated resentment, Mephisto returned to Blue Star stronger and told Ling Yi about the parasitic Starro race, prompting plans to hunt its source and investigate other threats. Ling Yi sent Mephisto into the universe to seek information and potentially take control of Apocalypse Star, while remaining on Blue Star until he could confront the Guardian.

Ling Yi ordered the captured Green Lanterns recruited as Mephisto warned that a spatial black hole was about to open.

• Diana questioned Harold Jordan with the Lasso of Truth, and he revealed that the Green Lantern Corps had orders to kill Blue Star’s Transcendents.

Harold and Veer explained Starro’s reproductive threat, Darkseid’s Omega Effect, and the secrets surrounding Apokolips Mother Boxes and X Element as Sanctuary II traveled to the Starro Galaxy. When the ship reached Starro’s home system, a purple beam attacked, and Superman met it with Heat Vision while the others prepared to fight.

• Harold explained that killing Starro’s supreme mother would end the parasite’s expanding lineage, but the Green Lantern Corps had waited until Starro had spread across much of the universe.
• Cyborg copied Harold’s star map and learned that Starro’s Galaxy lay near Apocalypse Star, prompting Adam to suggest they fight Darkseid after dealing with Starro.

• Shazam warned Mephisto that the Guardian might eventually act personally, and they suspected the Mother Boxes on Apocalypse Star were tied to its efforts to gather X Element.

After Patrick Star’s death sent Ling Yi’s attributes soaring and transformed his body into an Innate Rule Body, Shazam urged him to move Blue Star to the universe’s center. Ling Yi refused, saying he needed three more months to become invincible, while Cobblepot prepared to exploit Tehaden’s plans for his own purposes.

• Fox told Ling Yi that the Green Lantern Corps had arrived on Blue Star and joined forces with President Tehaden’s government, but Ling Yi left their fate to Cobblepot.
• Cobblepot revealed that Tehaden had secretly formed the Justice League under Luthor Lex, who had cloned a thousand enhanced Supermen, and that Cobblepot’s mental puppets were monitoring the operation.
• Cobblepot planned to let Luthor escape after the coming conflict so his cloning technology could provide Ling Yi with more attributes.
• After Superman and the others killed Patrick Star, Ling Yi’s attributes rose to two quadrillion, his rule progress reached 60%, and his body began transforming into an Innate Rule Body.
