Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

When his gaze passed over Azu and fell upon the massive fortress made of black steel, still towering high in the distance.

Darkseid's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Thankfully, the fortress is still standing.

As long as the Dark Fortress hasn't completely collapsed, its foundation remains.

"As long as we kill this Earthling and retrieve the Mother Box..."

Darkseid's mind raced as he calculated, the slight fear in his eyes gradually replaced by ruthlessness.

"Even if Apokolips is destroyed, so what?"

"I could totally remodel a second or third Apokolips! Earth seems pretty good enough!"

But the next moment.

In his long divine life, the most terrifying, absurd, and devastating thing happened.

Beneath the terrifying eyes on the surface of Apokolips, accompanied by deafening sounds of tectonic plates tearing apart, a bottomless canyon opened up, like a giant maw.

"Hehe—"

With a deep, muffled roar emanating from the depths of the earth.

A massive tongue, composed of a mixture of dark blue energy and rock layers, shot out like lightning from the depths of the earth.

This tongue was as agile as a giant cosmic serpent, and it coiled tightly around the entire dark fortress.

"Crack!!! Bang!"

The giant tongue suddenly retracted, and the sound of it snapping echoed through the sky.

That dark fortress, symbolizing the highest power on Apokolips, was forcibly uprooted from its foundation!

Then, the giant tongue, wrapped around the fortress, retracted directly into that terrifying abyssal maw.

The big mouth closed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Between heaven and earth came the rhythmic sound of chewing.

Darkseid stood there, stunned.

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his mouth slightly open.

The mother planet devoured his home.

It's also crunchy and delicious.

Azu looked at the stunned Darkseid, flew over, stopped beside Darkseid, and patted the tyrant's stiff shoulder.

"Don't be sad, buddy," Azu comforted him kindly. "At least you're enjoying your food on your home planet, aren't you?"

Darkseid did not reply, as if petrified.

The veins that once flowed like lava beneath his gray skin had now become much dimmer.

That is the physical manifestation of the divine anchor being severed.

The Dark Fortress is not merely a few solid stones and steel; it is the central hub that governs the multiverse.

For thousands of years, he has conquered thousands of star systems, imprinting the mark of Apokolips deep into the souls of countless beings.

The fear, despair, and wails on those planets converged into invisible rivers of energy, crossing the dimensions of the universe, and ultimately flowing into the anchor point of the Dark Fortress, nourishing his supreme dark godhood.

Now, that river has dried up.

In Darkseid's mind, the star map coordinate network composed of countless conquered planets, like a server that had lost power, plunged into darkness in large swathes.

He could no longer hear the cries of the slaves as they toiled in the fiery pit, nor could he feel that overwhelming sense of power that made him feel inexhaustible.

Millennia of hard work, ruined in a single day.

Even if he were to turn back immediately and start conquering again, having lost all his coordinates and resources, it would take countless epochs to restore his current glory!

"you……"

Darkseid slowly turned his head and looked at Azu beside him.

His facial muscles contorted violently, and the veins in his thick neck throbbed.

"You ruined everything I had!!"

A deafening roar erupted from this enormous body.

Darkseid lunged forward, his fist, crackling with boundless rage, aimed at Azu's head.

Azu didn't even open her eyes to look at him.

At this moment, he stood on Apokolips, a planet that had been largely assimilated by Ego, and a vast amount of planetary energy was continuously flowing into his body.

He didn't need to activate "Injustice Mode" or use system boosts; relying solely on his basic attributes, his power had already reached an outrageously terrifying level.

Faced with Darkseid's fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, Azu simply raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

"Crack!" A dull thud.

Darkseid's fist stopped firmly in Azu's palm, unable to advance even a millimeter further.

A powerful shockwave exploded at the point where their palms met, scraping away a thick layer of the black rocky ground below.

"Put some effort into it." Azu sneered, "So limp, haven't you eaten?"

Darkseid's eyes widened, and a rich concentration of Omega energy gathered in his eye sockets.

"die!!!"

Azu did not back down, his eyes also shining with a crimson light.

"Sizzle—!"

The thermal vision and the omega rays collided violently at extremely close range, the blinding light completely engulfing the two figures, and the high temperature sucked away the surrounding air, creating a vacuum zone.

But the stalemate lasted for less than a second.

The heat vision in Azu's eyes not only had a terrifying temperature, but also had the energy of the entire planet Apokolips as its backing.

The red beam of light, with overwhelming force, pushed back against the Omega rays and slammed into Darkseid's face.

"Ugh—!"

Darkseid let out a scream as he was blasted backward by the immense force.

Ah Zu gave him no chance to catch his breath.

With a flash, he appeared below Darkseid, his right fist slightly bent, and his rising dragon punch slammed heavily into Darkseid's abdomen.

"Thump!"

Darkseid coughed up blood, curled up like a shrimp, and his body involuntarily lunged upwards.

Without pausing, Azu reappeared above Darkseid, clenched his fists, raised them high, and slammed them down hard on Darkseid's back.

"Bang!"

Darkseid crashed straight to the ground like a gray meteorite.

The hard, black steel rock layer was smashed into a huge crater hundreds of meters in diameter, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions.

Before the dust had settled, Azu brought his legs together and, like a hypersonic missile, stomped straight at Darkseid's waist!

"boom--!"

The pit collapsed downwards again by hundreds of meters.

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!"

Azu's fists rained down on Darkseid, each blow accompanied by a deafening airburst.

Darkseid's skin began to crack inch by inch under Azu's ferocious attacks, seeping out dark red divine blood.

"Aren't you the strongest new god? Aren't you the nightmare of the universe?"

As he threw punches, Azu relentlessly trampled on the other person's dignity with his words.

"Show me your true abilities, Darkseid! Your skills aren't even enough to warm me up!"

The final, powerful tiger-like shot struck Darkseid squarely in the chin.

With a crisp cracking sound, Darkseid tumbled through the air hundreds of times before crashing heavily onto the scorched earth a kilometer away from Azu.

At this point, the cosmic tyrant was in dire straits.

Not only was his face completely disfigured, but his body, covered in blood, was also covered in cracked wounds.

He lay on his back, eyes slightly closed, his chest rising and falling almost imperceptibly, as if he had lost all consciousness and ability to resist.

Azu slowly descended from mid-air, looking down at Darkseid who was slumped on the ground, and muttered to himself.

"Is this the tyrant of the universe?"
