Chapter 194 Crushing Apokolips
After receiving a second enhancement, Steppenwolf let out a low roar directly.
Within the gaps of his originally ashen armor, things actually began to swell at this moment, veins bulging on his two arms, and with a fierce yank, he tore the armor apart.
A hellish battleaxe materialized in his hands once again.
This guy swung straight down at Darkseid on the throne.
A traitor is always a traitor!
"Steppenwolf!"
Darkseid was filled with a mix of shock and fury.
He could never have imagined how his former house dog would bow down before Lucas, and even be willing to block attacks for the other party!
Boom!
The Omega Beams surged forth, striking Steppenwolf, yet Steppenwolf relied solely on his bracers to block the Omega Beams, and his battleaxe cleaved down forcefully.
Darkseid had no choice but to raise his arms to take the blow head-on.
The two of them engaged in a massive brawl in front of the throne.
The army of Parademons wanted to help their emperor.
But before they even got close, they were torn apart by the physical shockwaves.
"Tsk tsk, committing treason and usurping superiors is truly Steppenwolf’s traditional skill!"
Lucas crossed his arms, leisurely acting as a spectator.
The battle between the two lasted for a long time.
But the Sun of Apokolips was huge, with almost no sign of setting. After who knows how long, the throne room had been beaten into ruins, and right in the center, a mist of blood suddenly exploded.
At the cost of losing an arm, Darkseid shattered Steppenwolf’s skull with a single punch.
Darkseid panted heavily, staring fixedly at Lucas.
Yet before he could even raise his head, Lucas’s figure appeared out of thin air.
Snap!
The other party simply reached out, not even using a shred of energy, and grabbed Darkseid by the neck, lifting the dark monarch up like a little chick.
"My patience is limited! I’ll give you one last chance, I only want the extraction method for the anti-life equation!"
Lucas looked down from above with a cold gaze.
Darkseid gritted his teeth, his bones almost shattering piece by piece under Lucas’s grip, yet he stubbornly refused to utter a single word.
"Yo-ho! Still a tough bone!"
Lucas sneered.
He couldn’t help leaning into Darkseid’s ear and whispering,
"You’re nothing as a dark monarch, just an avatar descended from a super-dimensional true body. That true body is the real king!"
"But isn’t it a coincidence? I happen to have the ability to help you eliminate your true body, and even replace it!"
"Think about it carefully, I’m doing this for your own good!"
Darkseid looked as if he had been humiliated.
"I am the one and only!"
"You are not. You have seen it with your own eyes, that guy’s existence is far more terrifying than yours!"
Lucas said mercilessly.
"But it doesn’t matter. You help me obtain the anti-life equation, and I will help you completely eliminate your true body, making you the only and most special existence in the Universe."
"We can even join forces to climb over that Source Wall and explore the ultimate mystery of the life equation!"
"Just having the anti-life is not enough. Only by holding both the positive and negative supreme powers in your hands at the same time can you rule the entire Universe and completely accomplish the great cause of Conquest!"
Seeing Darkseid’s eyes flicker slightly, Lucas grinned,
"I believe my words have deeply touched your soul. Think about it carefully! Broaden your horizons and don’t be so narrow-minded!"
Darkseid stared at Lucas, wondering if washing Lucas’s face with the Omega Effect could kill him.
But thinking of Steppenwolf... this guy could effortlessly buff Steppenwolf, and even he himself could barely kill Steppenwolf. The other party’s power was far above his own.
Why not... use him first!
"How do I know... what you said is definitely true!"
Lucas chuckled and casually grabbed into the void.
Batman, Aquaman, Barry Allen, and Diana—who was still tightly bound—were all pulled over across space by Lucas and dropped like salted fish at Darkseid’s feet.
"These four people are all Guardians of Earth. As sincerity for our trade, I can give you another top-secret piece of intelligence!"
"There is currently an orthodox Kryptonian on Earth. The Codex of Kryptonian is smelted within his body, which is the ultimate password concerning the origin of life!"
"After you get the anti-life equation, the mysteries of that Codex can also be inversely deciphered by us, and even grafted onto the army of Parademons to mass-produce anti-life Supermen, thereby uniting the Universe!"
Lucas never lacked ideas, nor did he lack a mouth for bluffing people.
"How about it? Think about it carefully with your big brain, only cooperation between us can achieve a win-win, right?"
Darkseid fell into deep thought.
Lucas could have killed him, but instead proposed cooperation.
This was an opportunity for him.
"Very well... but after getting the anti-life equation, Earth must belong to me first!"
"Granted!"
Lucas agreed without hesitation.
Immediately after, Darkseid held nothing back, using telepathy to transmit the ancient formulas passed down in secret on Apokolips into Lucas’s brain in full detail.
Lucas possessed the Mind Stone.
As long as Darkseid opened his mind, Lucas didn’t even need the other party to proactively tell him; he could complete a soul search instantly.
This way, it wouldn’t trigger the restrictions set by Darkseid’s true body.
"You... what did you do?"
Darkseid’s eyes became dazed and muddled.
It wasn’t until Lucas had browsed through all the information that he regained control of his body.
"Hehe!"
"Darkseid, you’re as naive as a loli!"
"Seriously, you’re not as shameless as me!"
Lucas smiled extremely shamelessly.
"Now I don’t need you anymore!"
Crack!
Lucas raised his hand and gave a fierce squeeze, directly pulverizing this avatar of Darkseid, along with his divine power core, into atomic dust.
"An avatar is an avatar; it can never become the true body!"
Aquaman was a bit baffled.
"Seriously, I already don’t know whether this guy is a good person or a bad person!"
Lucas couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to this guy.
For most of the heroes in the Justice League, Batman was their external brain, and usually they were too lazy to even use their own brains.
Expecting Aquaman to come up with a practical conclusion was simply daydreaming.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to watch a fireworks show!"
Lucas waved his backhand, the Bio-field enveloping the four of them, and then he lightly brushed his toes against the ground.
Swish!
In an instant, several people crossed spatial dimensions, arriving out of thin air in outer space, right before them was the entire Apokolips.
Lucas floated in the vacuum, arms crossed, his eyes filled with endless flowing light in the blink of an eye.
He only slightly raised his hand, aiming at the huge Apokolips, and slightly clenched his five fingers.
The Power of Force!
There is no sound in a vacuum, so the explosion was not very heaven-shaking, but under Lucas’s squeeze, the space and gravity on the surface of that giant divine celestial body directly underwent disintegration and disorder.
The inner core of the entire Planet was forcibly crushed and burst by Lucas in an instant.
Fire gushed silently in the vacuum, the planetary crust like porcelain, disintegrating and peeling off inch by inch. In less than a few short minutes, that Apokolips burst apart forcefully.
Clusters of interstellar flowing light swept past them; those were interstellar meteorites with terrifying kinetic energy.
"Brothers, I’m scared to the point of pissing my pants, what should I do?"
