The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1383

Unlike Yang Le's previous superficial exploration of matters related to Apokolips, Batman's meeting this time was to formulate a detailed strategic plan for the future.

The main reason Yang Le didn't do that was because he wasn't good at commanding such a large team. As an outsider, it's best not to meddle in areas you don't understand.

Yang Le originally wanted to delegate this task to others in the alliance, but considering that everyone was not in good condition at the time, he postponed the meeting to allow everyone to rest.

The postponement was not announced publicly, but with the sword of Damocles, Apokolips, hanging over their heads, no one had any time to rest.

Therefore, the rest period was set at two days. Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew that these two days of rest were also meant to give them time to make the necessary arrangements for the funeral.

After all, what lies ahead is a war, and no one can guarantee their survival in that war.

This is why most people choose to spend these two days of rest with their families or have a lot of fun.

Yang Le had originally planned to spend a day with Diana and Cassandra, but his research had taken up so much of his time that he completely forgot about it.

What was even more unexpected was that two days later, Batman actually recovered from his mental trauma and, despite his physical injuries, managed to get out of bed.

That's great, we don't need to find someone else to take command. Old Bat is just a workaholic, and he even chose this himself.

"The first thing we can be sure of is that, because of Vandal Savage's defection, we will be facing a Parademon army that is much stronger than before."

"This is not the first time Apokolips has invaded Earth. There have been two previous incidents. Considering that many people at the time were not yet members of the Justice League, or even superheroes, but just ordinary people who did not know anything about Parademons."

"Therefore, I will repeat the relevant information about Parademons and Apokolips here. I hope you all have no objections?"

After Batman finished speaking, he put down his tablet, looked at the crowd, and waited for someone to offer a different opinion.

After waiting for three seconds and seeing that no one objected, Batman continued.

"First are the Parademons, which are war weapons synthesized using genetic technology developed by Apokolips. They are not very intelligent, only capable of completing some simple tasks, but they are very powerful in combat."

"Parademons possess immense strength and weapon resistance. For example, human weapons, such as 10mm firearms, cannot harm them at all. Only large-caliber firearms can slightly slow their advance."

"However, if it is a specially designed armor-piercing projectile, it will also be effective."

"My assessment is that Parademons are the best cannon fodder. If you get entangled with them and your stamina is depleted, the consequences will be unimaginable."

After speaking, Batman paused briefly, took a sip of water to relieve his thirst, and gave everyone time to absorb the information.

"Next up are the leaders of Apokolips who participated in the first two invasions of Earth. First up is this one, Steppenwolf."

Batman then brought up another 3D model. This person was wearing full-body metal armor forged from an unknown metal, covered with spikes of various sizes. The most eye-catching feature was the bull-head-shaped helmet on his head. "He doesn't look much different from an Earthling."

Mr. Zhuoyue muttered a complaint in a low voice. When the invasion war launched by Apokolips against Earth occurred some time ago, he was just an ordinary, outstanding young man who had recently graduated from university and was in the process of starting his own business. He was not a superhero.

He didn't know much about Apokolips, which is why he was surprised when he saw Steppenwolf's appearance.

"Based on the information Yang Le brought back earlier, we know that most of the inhabitants of Apokolips and the New Creation Stars that are connected to it are a race called the New Gods."

"Most of them have appearances similar to humans, but the New Gods possess immense power that humans cannot match, much like the Kryptonians."

Batman's words elicited a helpless smile from Superman; being used as an example certainly felt strange.

"The same goes for Steppenwolf. Don't be fooled by his appearance; he may look like an ordinary, muscular man in armor, but his physical abilities are in no way inferior to those of a Kryptonian. He also possesses super strength and super speed."

"His preferred weapon is a double-edged battle axe that is as tall as a person and also has the ability to release powerful electric shocks."

"In addition, Steppenwolf is also an excellent commander. He is good at directing Parademons in invasion operations, which is even more troublesome than his own combat ability."

There was another pause, just like before. After Batman saw that everyone had almost digested the information, he pulled up another document.

"Next up is Kalibak. Like Steppenwolf, he is also one of Apokolips's generals, but unlike the latter, Kalibak is a complete brute."

"Kalibak's intelligence level should be around the average human level, but he is not good at using his wisdom, nor does he know how to use his brain at all. He is a brute who only knows how to use his strength."

"But we shouldn't underestimate him because of this. Kalibak even has more fighting power than Steppenwolf. In the last invasion, he single-handedly invaded Earth."

"Kalibak's fighting prowess was astonishing, at one point even suppressing Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter. Although the battle gradually began to tilt in our favor over time, this was enough to demonstrate Kalibak's strength."

"By the way, according to the information Yang Le brought from the members of the New Origin Star, Kalibak's identity is very special. He is the eldest son of Darkseid, the Dark Lord we are going to introduce next."

After Batman finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room clearly changed. Before everyone could finish processing the massive amount of information, he began his narration.

"Next up is Darkseid, the leader of Apokolips, and also arguably the most powerful person on Apokolips. I won't go into detail about his physical strength here; I'll mainly talk about his special abilities."

"The Omega Effect is a special ability that manifests as a crimson beam of light. The energy it contains is terrifying. According to information provided by the New Origin Star, they do not recommend that superhumans who are careful about their defenses take direct hits from it."

"The only outcome of being hit by the Omega effect is instant death."
