But at the same time, the power of the magic box hidden in the mother box came into play again. It corrected the transmission position of the mother box, allowing it to go upstream along its previous time and space trajectory and return to that wasteland doomsday-like world.
"what--!"
As soon as he appeared on the wasteland earth, Superman couldn't help but cover his face and scream. The sunlight here was too dazzling and too strong for him!
Superman was the opposite. Under the yellow sunlight, his injuries recovered quickly and were completely healed in a few seconds.
The back burned by the heat vision also healed directly and turned back into healthy skin.
Now that his condition has been restored, it's time to start settling the accounts. Superman turned around and looked at the slumped D-Force on the ground, with a hint of anger on his face.
Asking for flowers
Ever since that battle with Batman on a rainy night, he had never felt as miserable as he just was.
He picked up Speedmaster with one hand, and Speedmaster screamed again.
"Do not--!"
Superman discovered that the opponent's physical strength dropped rapidly under the sunlight, and he had a ridiculous guess in his mind: Could this guy be afraid of the sunlight?
In order to verify this guess, he picked up the defenseless Speedmaster and flew directly into the sky. Not long after, he broke through the atmosphere. In the space environment, the radiation of sunlight was more violent, and the Speedmaster was sunburned to the point of being in excruciating pain.
"That's enough! Let me go! I'll do anything if you let me go!"
Superman was about to finish him off, but this sentence made his raised fist suddenly stop, and he remembered that he really needed a useful subordinate.
He had almost killed all the original Justice League members, and the only ones left were some insignificant guys who were good at waving flags and doing administrative work, but they could not be expected to play any role on some major battlefields.
"Are you a Kryptonian?" Superman asked grimly.
When Super heard the question, he quickly replied: "Yes, I am the last survivor of Krypton..."
Superman punched Dr. Superman in the abdomen, interrupting him from saying anything else.
He said indifferently: "I am the last survivor of Krypton!"
Chaoba said that your fist is bigger now, and whatever you say is right.
Superman then asked: "Why are you unaffected by the red sun and kryptonite?"
In order to save his life, Superman dared not hide anything and could only tell everyone about his characteristics.
When Superman heard that the other party actually relied on absorbing Kryptonite to maintain his abilities, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent was revealed.
His flaws are actually Super's advantages, this guy must be eliminated.
Just when he was about to strangle the other person's neck, a sonic boom channel instantly brought them both to the lookout base.
Steppenwolf was already waiting there.
"You can't kill him."
Steppenwolf said this to Superman just after they met, which made him a little unhappy.
"You have no right to order me around, Steppenwolf."
In front of the Kryptonians, Steppenwolf is now nothing but trash, a character who can be easily killed in seconds, so of course Superman will not obey him.
But this sentence was not an order from Steppenwolf. He said: "This is an order from Darkseid, the Lord of Darkness."
Superman's face changed. Darkseid's order? How did he know about this, and so quickly?
Then he saw the Mother Box fly obediently into Steppenwolf's hands. Yes, the Mother Box was originally the technology of Apokolips, so of course it was in Darkseid's hands.
Everything the Mother Box saw might now be seen by Darkseid.
Superman was unable to resist Darkseid's will, which was the influence of the Anti-Life Equation, so he could only reluctantly throw Speedmaster to the floor.
In this observation tower, because the sunlight was blocked, Speedmaster felt better.
But he was a little confused now, he didn't know where he was.
"Perhaps, Darkseid can turn this guy into a demon. He doesn't look like he would be obedient." Superman looked at Draco and made this malicious suggestion.
But Steppenwolf did not accept it. He just said: "This requires the great Darkseid to decide personally."
"He'll come here?" Superman frowned.
Although he has pledged allegiance to Darkseid, he subconsciously does not want Darkseid to come to Earth.
Fortunately, Steppenwolf gave him a negative answer: "He will meet Darkseid on Apokolips!"
Superman nodded and said no more.
Of course, Steppenwolf needs to personally escort Speedmaster to Apocalypse. If he leaves, the Mother Box must go with him and will not be left on Earth.
The Mother Box is also a very precious artifact on Apocalypse. Even Superman doesn't have the face to keep it now.
So he could only watch as Steppenwolf, carrying the Mother Box and Speedster, disappeared into the watchtower through the sonic boom channel.
As for Speedmaster's opinion, no one cares at all.
So without him understanding what was happening, he was taken away by the Steppenwolf.
In fact, Superman is stronger than Steppenwolf now, but he is somewhat unclear about the situation, so he dare not act rashly.
It wasn't until he was transported to Apocalypse that Superman remembered that he had to resist Yu!
Chapter 394 Darkseid's Doubts
But before Chaoba could even begin his resistance, he felt a heavy force pressing down on him, making him tremble and unable to move.
He raised his head and saw that a tall giant had appeared in front of him at some point. He had his hands behind his back and there seemed to be lava in his eyes. This giant with iron-gray skin had an indescribable domineering aura.
"So, this is the Kryptonian from the parallel universe?"
The giant's voice was filled with an oppressive feeling that was hard to disobey. The courage that Superman had to resist disappeared in an instant, leaving only sincere obedience.
"Yes, great Darkseid, I am Kal-El, the last son of Krypton."
When Steppenwolf saw Darkseid's look, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Darkseid's eyes.
He knew that Darkseid must have used the power of the Anti-Life Equation on Speedmaster. That thing could arbitrarily tamper with a person's self-awareness and turn the person who was affected into his supporter in the blink of an eye.
Superman was captured by this method.
Steppenwolf is not afraid of Darkseid's own power, because he believes that as long as he stays in Apokolips long enough, he will sooner or later become stronger than Darkseid. After all, he is a New God who is older than the other.
So even if the Omega Ray finally chose Darkseid, he didn't think it was a big deal. At worst, he could just take it back.
Few people know that the Omega rays, which are said to be invulnerable to all, will actually give those who have the qualifications to become gods a chance to survive.
In the history of DC comics, more than one person has successfully escaped the pursuit of Omega rays, including Batman and Alexander Luthor.
However, the Anti-Life Equation is a force that even Steppenwolf cannot resist. He is very afraid of this power. Once his free will is deprived, he may become his plaything and puppet like other lives controlled by Darkseid.
At that time, it would be meaningless to talk about ambition or not.
What makes him most uneasy is that he still has no idea whether Darkseid has used the power of the Anti-Life Equation on him.
He didn't even know whether his fear of Darkseid came from his own rational judgment or because he had been controlled by the Anti-Life Equation. This was a chain of suspicion that would never be solved.
Even though Steppenwolf had doubts about this, he did not dare to test Darkseid because he could not afford the cost of failure...
What Steppenwolf didn't know was that Darkseid knew exactly what he was thinking. He certainly didn't use the Anti-Life Equation on this former traitor because he wanted Steppenwolf to be immersed in his fear of him with a clear mind.
This is his punishment for what Steppenwolf had done in the past, and it is also Darkseid's way of controlling his subordinates.
However, for creatures like Kryptonians, it is easier to control them directly with power, especially when Darkseid sees that Kal-El still has ambitions in his heart.
The reason why Darkseid took this Kryptonian under his command was not only because he was impressed by his strength and wanted to use him to check and balance Superman, but also because he was interested in the world where Superman lived.
He has a keen interest in conquering any world.
So he ordered Superman: "Tell us everything you know, especially the Justice League you met!"
Speedmaster didn't dare to disobey the order and could only tell everything he knew in detail. When he mentioned "Shazam", Darkseid showed an interesting expression on his face.
"Shazam, I remember there was news about him on Earth here too?"
He was asking this question to Steppenwolf, and the other party responded quickly.
Steppenwolf also made great efforts in controlling Superman. He secretly investigated the information of all members of the Justice League, so it can be said that he knows every important member of theirs like the back of his hand.
"Shazam, as I recall, is a guardian who wields the power of the Ancient Gods. His true form is an immature human who can obtain the power and divine body of the Ancient Gods through a spell."
"You said he is a child?" Chaoba couldn't help asking after hearing this.
Steppenwolf didn't want to pay attention to him, but in front of Darkseid, he had to give the prisoner some face.
"Yes, as far as I know, Shazam's true form is a human infant."
Steppenwolf nodded. His words seemed to treat humans as some kind of lower animal.
"But this is impossible!" Superman frowned and objected to Steppenwolf's statement.
Although his free will was changed by the Anti-Life Equation, it did not affect his personality and wisdom.
"I've communicated with him and fought him, there's no way he's a child!"
Darkseid said thoughtfully at this time: "Since it is a parallel world, it is normal for it to be different from the world here."
Parallel worlds can produce countless possibilities, and Darkseid, whose original body has reached the level of the multiverse, cannot be unaware of it.
Even Darkseid himself has countless completely different personalities in countless parallel universes.
Although in most universes he is a cosmic overlord keen on conquest, there are some parallel worlds where he is a pacifist.
In the animated film "Gods and Monsters", Darkseid is a good guy, and New Genesis is the villain.
You should know that under normal circumstances, their roles should be reversed.
And Darkseid here was actually killed by the Father God on the New Genesis Planet, which shows that parallel time and space can give rise to countless possibilities.
Of course, the existence of these parallel worlds also indirectly shows that Darkseid's real body does not care about the death of one or two clones, and does not interfere with their historical process.
"You are right." Steppenwolf said with a hint of flattery.
"How powerful is Shazam?" Darkseid was only curious about this.
Superba could only say: "Very strong, extremely strong!" But as to how strong he was, I'm sorry, he was basically killed in one move, so it was impossible to see clearly.
"So how does he compare to Superman?"
Chaoba thought, if it weren’t for the yellow sun, he could beat ten of Superman’s weaklings!
Darkseid realized it later and got Speedmaster from the Mother Box, but he had never fought Superman in his complete form.
"Has anyone else over there touched the Mother Box?" Darkseid noticed something unusual on the Mother Box.
Steppenwolf and Speedmaster looked at each other and shook their heads.
Darkseid's eyes flashed, and red Omega rays were fired at the Mother Box, causing it to quickly heat up.
The mother box that absorbed the Omega rays disintegrated into countless small cubes like a Rubik's Cube, and seemed to be doing something. Red energy radiation emanated from the center of the box, as if it was fighting with something.
If Speedmaster had enough knowledge, he would be able to recognize that the energy fighting against the Mother Box was actually the power of the Magic Box.
When Superman nearly broke into Hell with the Mother Box, Dane used the power of the box to inject a stream of energy into the box. That energy carried a portion of the demon's power, making it impossible for the box to analyze.
Unable to analyze, naturally unable to counter, so the Mother Box is still suffering from the erosion of that power, and Darkseid discovered this.
"A very special power, very special, it has the flavor of the Old Gods."
The so-called old gods refer to Zeus, Odin, Ra and other gods born from human beliefs. In DC's cosmology, they are the second group of immortal lives after the creation of the world.
Although the old gods were born from human beliefs, they are always easily elevated in human mythology, so they are often reversed in cause and effect, and are born before the birth of humans, going against the timeline.
However, human faith can only give birth to the nature of God. In fact, it is difficult to give birth to the personality of God, because each human being's imagination of God is always different, and therefore difficult to unify.
Therefore, there is actually another force involved in the formation of the old gods. Yes, that force is the source of all evil, the power of the Supreme God.
Everything began with God creating the world, and the American comics worldview always starts from here.
When the Supreme God created the world, His power, after shaping the world, formed the first world, which was also the original realm of gods.
The power in the divine realm gradually gathered and gave birth to the first batch of immortal lives. They are gods.
But these gods are not the old gods believed in by later humans, but some even more ancient gods. We can call these gods ancient gods, that is, the oldest gods that the DC universe can trace back to.
It should be noted here that these ancient gods are different from the old gods believed in by humans. They exist objectively.
If I had to describe it, their form of existence is similar to that of the Star Gods in Warhammer 40K. They are the concrete embodiment of the laws of physics and possess powers that later generations cannot imagine.
When the number of ancient gods in the first world reached saturation, the DC universe entered the second world (the divine realm), and the power of the ancient gods reached its peak.
