Chapter 513 The Gods Return to Their Positions, the Crippled God of the Omega Effect, and Batman's Arrangement
"so."
"Luther said."
"Did Night Owl send this bunch of freaks to deal with me?"
"Roar?" The artificial being standing next to Luther made a silly sound.
At this moment, Luthor stands on the streets of Gotham City with an artificial being wearing Superman's suit backwards—in another Gotham City, of course.
But he was certain that the villains surrounding him belonged to the same universe as him. Outsiders under Night Owl had recruited them into the Super Villain Secret Society, and they had become Night Owl's lackeys—a rare breed of cosmic dogs.
Luther cursed inwardly. He was already doing everything he could to evade any potential pursuers. He knew that Night Owl was fully capable of tracking the Mother Box he possessed, and if he used it to teleport, he would be walking into a trap. Therefore, he was forced to proceed on foot.
Even so, amidst the increasingly dense patrol network, he still ran head-on into one of the small squads.
This is simply illogical.
He originally thought that Night Owl wouldn't make too many deployments in his home base of Gotham City. He could take advantage of the time difference and easily find the Owl Cave located below Wayne Manor. Nightwing Dick Grayson was currently being transferred from his Owl ship and imprisoned there by Night Owl.
Then he was shocked to discover that Nite Owl seemed to have guessed his thoughts and deliberately deployed a large number of people in Gotham City, especially near Wayne Manor.
...Damn it, that's right. It was easy to guess. Luther's face was grim, because after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that this was indeed the case.
From Night Owl's perspective, all Lex Luthor can do right now boils down to two things:
First, rescue your teammates, Nightwing or Wolf, and then find a way to escape Night Owl's universe.
Second, he sought out his men, the 2000-strong Green Lantern Corps, to try and turn the tide of the battle.
Oh, and of course there's a third one:
Third, surrender.
Therefore, all Night Owl needs to do is deploy manpower in the places where Luther might go, based on this idea.
Luther wasn't entirely unaware that Night Owl might have guessed his actions, but he had too few cards to play, and he kept deceiving himself into believing he could appear before Nightwing undetected.
He saw a woman with orange hair wearing a purple bodysuit emerge from around the corner, carrying a brick, followed closely by a monster that looked like a giant humanoid hyena.
Bomber Girl, her superpower is the ability to make anything she touches explode. She's the Flash's villain.
Hyenas, nothing much to say, low-level representatives of the red-clad race, much like the killer crocodiles of the past.
And their leader... Black Bison, the villain of Firestorm. Although he wears a bull's head mask and is all muscle, making him look like a fighter, he is actually a mage who can use a magic wand to give life to inanimate objects and make them act according to his commands.
Then more men in black emerged from the corner. They were a group of people dressed entirely in black, but with strange patterns shimmering on their bodies.
The Multiverse, a villain in The Flash, has the superpower of replicating himself.
"I advise you to get out of the way," Luther said. "Don't even think about alerting Night Owl. I've cut off all communications in the area; a small signal jammer can do that."
Now that he's been discovered, Luther isn't going to pretend anymore, and he's not going to stay in stealth any longer. Now it's time to make a scene!
While Luther was still pondering these things, Black Bison continued his incessant chatter: "I had a feeling you'd become a problem, Luther. Night Owl sees you differently; he considers you more important than all of us combined, even after your shameful betrayal of him..."
Originally, Luther had no intention of paying any attention to this third-rate character.
"You have absolutely no loyalty, Luther. You haven't shown any gratitude whatsoever for what Night Owl did to save our world; at least he allowed us to live in his world..."
"So that's why you wore that dead buffalo on your head? Tell me, Black Buffalo, is that it?"
Luther said, "Is the reason you smell so bad because of the animal carcass on your head, or because of yourself?"
In an instant, the cold air emanating from the eyes of the artificial being beside Luther froze the black bison, while the bomb woman hurled a powerful explosive at Luther: "It's time to get the party started, you..."
"Roar!" The bomb woman was met with an even hotter flame spewed from the man-made creature's mouth.
Luther stared expressionlessly at the hyena that tried to pounce on him and bite through his armor, and the multi-element that charged at him, punching and kicking him.
He knew these third-rate characters were not a real threat.
He raised his head.
"Damn it."
He said.
……
……
……
"A life has been taken."
"I am being called from elsewhere."
The black runner separated from Chen Tao, having already taken Darkseid's life, and thus appeared satisfied.
Then it disappeared into the mist... Whether it was Darkseid or an ordinary Parademon that was harvested, as long as the Black Runner killed someone, he would leave—temporarily.
But something else is more noteworthy than the departure of the black runners.
"I received a portion of Darkseid's divine essence..." Chen Tao said, head bowed, clutching his head.
Darkseid fell with a blinding red light and a deafening roar, the earth shook violently, and then everything fell silent.
The red innermost part of all living beings.
Superman suddenly knelt down on the ground.
Batman had assigned him the task of ambushing someone amidst the Red Hollows, and Clark had been silently preparing. He never imagined that this was merely Batman's way of protecting him because he hadn't yet returned to his prime. But at this moment, Clark felt a strange tremor coursing through his body, causing him to let out a heart-wrenching roar.
Superman: God of Strength.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Shazam the Thunder roared. He had absorbed a portion of Darkseid's power...
Shazam the Thunder... God of Gods.
Wonder Woman Diana is also screaming in agony.
Something began to be etched into her flesh and blood, causing her eyes to erupt with purple energy like flames.
That thing burned Diana, but it also gave her power.
"I...I sensed it. I sensed a part of what Darkseid possessed, it was..."
Diana clutched her head. "I feel different. That thing is affecting my thoughts... making me feel like I should control everything in the world..."
"That's the Anti-Life Equation. Tell yourself it's just an illusion, Diana." Wonder Woman then heard Batman's voice, which reassured her somewhat: "Darkseid possessed a portion of the Anti-Life Equation's power, but not much. Think of when Darkseid died."
Chen Tao said, "He died like a dog."
Although this was not the case, this self-hypnosis quickly brought Wonder Woman back to her senses.
A ball of white light condensed in Diana's palm, no matter what...
Wonder Woman...the goddess of anti-life.
"And me..." Chen Tao lowered his head.
A torrent of blue light burst forth from his eyes—the wisdom of Darkseid, who had found its host in the universe.
This is an elevation in rank. From now on, all Justice League members who possess divine status will replace Darkseid as the pillars of the entire universe, until Darkseid returns or the Justice League members die and those divine statuses seek a new host.
Batman, the god of wisdom.
Deep within the Justice League lobby.
Thunder Zamza from the Night Owl Universe lay there, barely alive. His body was emaciated, but his eyes still gleamed with hatred. No matter who it was, Superman or Batman, those who offended him should never give him a chance, or he would make them wish they were dead!
And then there's Super Queen, that good-for-nothing bastard. She talked for so long about rescuing me, but why is she still here?
And that kid, he originally thought that kid could tie Super Queen to his chariot. If Super Queen could really rescue him, he wouldn't mind sharing his power with Super Queen...
But now?
Regardless of the hatred harbored by Alexander Luthor, or Thunder Zamza, the counterpart of Lex Luthor in the Night Owl universe, the current situation is that he and Supergirl have been captured by Batman. Whether before or after the time reboot, he is a tool used by Night Owl and Batman to fight the Anti-Monitor...
But now things seem different. At this moment, he suddenly began to struggle violently, and even the restraints that bound him tightly seemed unable to stop him.
It was as if something had suddenly struck him, chosen him, causing him to let out a painful yet pleasurable howl. His face turned toward some kind of obsidian, but not completely... He wasn't strong enough.
In the history of the main universe, although Lex Luthor, as a mortal, gained the favor of the Omega Effect and became the God of the Omega Effect, it was because he was captured by the Forgotten People on Apokolips who rebelled against Darkseid.
Adora, the leader of the Forgotten People, believes that Luther is the human who walked on the wasteland of Apokolips on the night Darkseid died, as prophesied by the blind prophet.
She considered Luther a great hero, "the son of a simple farmer, a seeker of truth, and the embodiment of justice," a sentiment Luther readily acknowledged.
So she captured Luther, put him on their device, and channeled the power of Omega into Luther's body, which caused Luther to become the God of Omega.
However, Chen Tao does not currently possess the technology of the Forgotten People of the main universe, so he needs to use other methods to direct the Omega power to specific individuals.
Thunder Zamsa's mouth had been gagged to prevent him from uttering the magic incantation and transforming himself into a magic guardian wielding lightning. But even that couldn't stop him from arching his body and convulsing like he was having an epileptic seizure. Then, in the next moment, he suddenly unleashed a power that he could never have displayed without transforming, causing the bindings to snap in pieces.
He was connected to the Speed Force tubes, but the style didn't resemble the battery suits worn by Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man.
Batman specially designed a Speed Force device for him, which looks more like a conductive system than a power extraction system, designed to introduce something into his body.
Is the thing that selected him related to these arrangements?
If so, could this be part of Batman's scheme again?
However, Thunder Zamza never considered this question. Unlike Lex Luthor in the Batman universe, his most prominent characteristics are his great strength and simple mind. This characteristic even left a mental imprint on intelligent people like Night Owl that "Luthor is not particularly smart".
With a "poof," he spat out the metal gag stuffed in his mouth. He felt himself freed from his restraints. He knew that once he transformed, he would be able to fully control the power flowing through him. He knew he had been chosen. He shouted loudly, "Zansha!"
A bolt of lightning struck him as he expected. Zamsa knew he would transform back into that powerful magic guardian. With the enhancement of the magic guardian, he would be able to fully accept that power and step into a new level...
"Hahahaha!" He let out a wild, unrestrained laugh. Although he didn't know what was happening, his current power was undoubtedly enhanced by the power of Thunder Zanza, superimposed with the power of the Omega effect. Once he fully absorbed it, he would become a second God walking among humans, and no one would be able to stop him anymore. He could...
"Zansha!" But at that moment, a recording with the exact same voice as his suddenly rang out in his cell, causing his magic to fail instantly.
"Varied……"
Before Zamsa could react, and before he could do anything, four lasers, as if rehearsed a thousand times, precisely severed his limbs. Then, a ray, like a scalpel, sliced open his jaw and split his tongue in two.
In that instant of becoming a guardian of magic, Thunder Zanza also met the requirements to accept that power.
So even though he was no longer a magic guardian and had lost his limbs, he continued the transformation process that had begun earlier.
His skin continued to transform into obsidian with his muffled groans. Even at this point, Zamsa still tried to resist, but just as the red light of the Omega effect began to gather in his eyes, the next moment, the laser scalpel gouged out his eyeballs.
Boo!
With this final, cruel, and bloody scene, Zamsa fainted completely from the intense pain.
Alexander Luther, the god of the Omega Effect and the lord of Apokolips, is born.
Despite having no limbs.
Although it has no tongue.
Even though he is blind.
But it is still a genuine new god.
No problem.
