Chapter 394 Darkseid’S Doubts
But before Speedmaster's resistance began, he felt a force as heavy as an abyss pressing on his body, making him tremble and making him unable to move.
He raised his head and looked, and at some point, a tall giant appeared in front of him. He had his hands behind his back, and there seemed to be lava hidden in his eyes. This iron-gray-skinned giant had an indescribable domineering air about him.
"So, is this the Kryptonian from the parallel universe?"
There was a sense of oppression in this giant's voice that was hard to resist. Speedmaster's courage to resist instantly dissipated, leaving only heartfelt obedience.
"Yes, great Darkseid, I am Kal El, the last son of Krypton.
When Steppenwolf saw Speedmaster's appearance, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Darkseid's eyes.
He knew that Darkseid must have used the ability of the Anti-Life Equation on Speedmaster. That thing can tamper with people's self-awareness at will, and turn those who are infected into his fans in the blink of an eye.
Superman was captured this way.
Steppenwolf is not afraid of Darkseid's power originally, because he believes that as long as he stays on the Apocalypse star long enough, he will sooner or later become stronger than Darkseid. After all, he is an older new creature than his opponent. god.
So even if the Omega Ray chose Darkseid in the end, he didn't think it was a big deal. At worst, he would just take it back.
Few people know that the Omega rays, which are said to be inescapable, 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.
But 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 of his free will, he may become like other beings controlled by Darkseid. playthings and puppets.
At that time, it was meaningless to talk about ambition or not.
What made him most uneasy was that he still didn't know whether Darkseid had ever used the power of the Anti-Life Equation on him.
He doesn't even know whether his fear of Darkseid comes from his own rational judgment or because he has been controlled by the Anti-Life Equation. This is a mystery that will never be solved.
Even if Steppenwolf had doubts about this, he did not dare to test Darkseid because he could not bear the price of failure...
What Steppenwolf doesn't know is that Darkseid is well aware of his inner thoughts. He definitely did not use the Anti-Life Equation on this former betrayer because he wanted Steppenwolf to be immersed in his thoughts with a clear consciousness. In fear.
This is the punishment for what he once did to Steppenwolf, and it is also Darkseid's way of controlling him.
But for creatures like Kryptonians, it is easier to control them directly with Ability, especially when Darkseid sees that Kal El still has ambitions hidden in his heart.
The reason why he took this Kryptonian under his command was not only because he was interested in the opponent's strength and hoped to use him to check Superman, but Darkseid was also interested in the world where Superman lived.
He is interested in conquering any world.
So he ordered Speedmaster: "Tell me everything you know, especially the Justice League you met!"
Speedmaster did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only tell everything he knew in detail. When he talked about "Shazam", Darkseid had an interesting expression on his face.
"Shazam, I remember there is news about him on Earth here?"
He was asking Steppenwolf, and the other party responded quickly.
Steppenwolf also played a great role in controlling Superman. He secretly investigated the information of all the members of the Zhenglian, so it can basically be said that he knows every important member of them very well.
"Shazam, I remember, is an Asgardian who uses the power of the ancient gods. His body is an immature human, and he can obtain the power and body of the ancient gods through a spell."
"You said he is a child?" Supermaster couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Steppenwolf didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but in front of Darkseid, he had to give this prisoner some face.
"Yes, as far as I know, Zan's body is a human larvae.
Steppenwolf nodded, and his statement seemed to treat humans as some kind of lower animals.
"But this is impossible!" Speedmaster frowned and objected to Steppenwolf's remarks.
Although his free consciousness was changed by the anti-life equation, it did not affect his personality and wisdom.
"I have communicated and fought with him. There is no way he is a child!"
Darkseid said thoughtfully at this time: "Since it is a parallel world there, it is normal for it to be different from the world here.
Parallel worlds can produce countless possibilities, and it is impossible for Darkseid, whose body has reached the multi-universe level, not to know about it.
Even Darkseid himself has countless completely different personalities in countless parallel universes.
Although in most universes, he is a cosmic overlord who is keen on conquest, there are also some parallel worlds where he is a pacifist.
In the animated movie "Gods and Monsters", Darkseid is a good guy and New Genesis is the villain.
You should know that usually, the roles between them should be reversed.
And Darkseid here was actually killed by the Father God on the New Creation Star, which shows that parallel time and space can evolve into countless possibilities.
Definitely, the existence of these parallel worlds also shows that Darkseid's ontology does not care about the death of one or two duplications, let alone interfere with their historical process.
"You're right." Steppenwolf said with a hint of flattery.
"How strong is Shazam?" Darkseid was only curious about this.
Superpower can only say: "Very strong, very strong!" But as for what kind of strong technique, I'm sorry, he was basically killed with one move, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
"How does he compare to Superman?"
Speedmaster thought to himself, Superman is just a weakling. If it weren't for Huang Taiyang, he could beat the opponent ten times!
Darkseid belatedly realized that Speedmaster had not yet fought Superman in his complete state from the Mother Box.
"You guys over there, has anyone else 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 start to heat up.
The mother box that absorbed the omega rays dissociated into countless small squares like a Rubik's cube, and seemed to be doing something. From the center of the box, red energy radiation was emitted, and it seemed to be fighting something.
If Supermaster has enough knowledge, he will be able to recognize that the energy fighting the Mother Box is actually the power of the Magic Box.
When Superman almost broke into Hell with the Mother Box, Dane used the power of the Magic Box to drive an energy into the inside of the Mother Box. That energy carried part of Beelzebub's Power, making it impossible for the Mother Box to analyze.
It cannot be analyzed, and naturally it cannot be counterattacked. Therefore, the mother box is still being eroded by 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 gods such as Zeus, Odin, Ra, etc. who were born from human beliefs. In DC's cosmology, they are the second batch of immortal beings after the creation of the world.
Although the old gods were born from human beliefs, because they are always easily exalted in human mythology, they often reverse effects for causes, go up against the timeline, and are born before the birth of humans.
However, human belief can only give birth to the godhead. In fact, it is difficult to give birth to the personality, because each human being has a different imagination of God, so it is difficult to unify.
Therefore, there is actually a kind of power involved in the formation of the old gods. Yes, that power is the source of all evil, the power of the Supreme God.
Everything begins when God creates the world, and the American comic worldview always starts here.
When the Supreme God created the world, His power formed the first world and the original divine world after shaping the world.
The power in the divine world gradually gathered, and the first batch of immortal beings were born. They are gods.
But these gods are not the old gods that later generations of humans will believe in, but some even older gods. We can call these gods ancient gods, which are the oldest gods that can be traced back to the DC universe.
It should be noted here that these ancient gods are different from the old gods believed by humans. They exist objectively.
If we want to describe it, their existence form is similar to the Star Gods in Warhammer 40K. They are the embodiment of physical rules, possessing power that future generations would not dare to imagine.
When the number of ancient gods in the first world reached saturation, the DC universe entered the second world (God Realm) period, and the power of the ancient gods reached its peak.
But as time went by, the power of "entropy" began to take effect, and the conflicts between the various pantheons deepened day by day. Finally, under the secret planning of Loki (the son of the main god Wotan, Lokee in English, not the Nordic god Loki), the conflict broke out. First time at Ragnarök.
After a war broke out that affected the entire universe, its huge amounts of power tore apart the second world, and most of the ancient gods perished in the explosion of the world.
The explosion of the second world released a huge amount of energy to the entire universe. This energy is called "divine wave..."
The divine wave sows the entire universe, and human faith goes up the river of time. The formed godhead intersects with the divine wave here, integrates and gives birth to new divinity, thus giving birth to a new god, which is the old god.
Gods like Zeus, Odin, Ra on Earth, Rao, the main god of Krypton, and other planet gods were mostly born during this period.
The Divine Wave also formed the third world in this creation, which is the main living space of the old gods and the location of the Pantheon.
After Ragnarök happened to the old gods, the third world was occupied by mortal creatures, so the third world is actually the three-dimensional world.
The divine wave generated by the explosion of the divine world not only created gods, but it was also the source of many supernatural powers in later generations.
For example, the speed force, emotional spectrum, quantum force field, etc. all originated from this divine wave. The divine wave is still reverberating in the universe. When it is completely silent, the supernatural power will also disappear from the universe.
About 480 million years ago, the torn divine world gradually formed two planets, one was the New Creation Star and the other was the Apocalypse Star.
Humanoid life was gradually born on the two planets, and under the influence of the divine waves, they gradually acquired divinity. They were the New God Clan.
After the new god gained divinity, the two planets began to form their own fourth world.
The fourth world is actually the fourth dimension. After the power of the gods declined in the mortal world, the new divine world they opened took place in this dimension.
So in fact, the old gods are now in the same dimension as the Apocalypse star and the new creation star. Not only them, but also the underworld, the heaven where the Angels live, and Lucifer's hell are also here.
It's just that each world is not adjacent to each other. They are like planets, separated from each other by the sea of stars.
and
And since each world is in constant high-speed movement, it is impossible to use coordinates to cross the star sea to reach another world.
But each world has its own unique way to lead to other worlds. For example, on the planet Apocalypse, the Mother Box was invented to communicate between the fourth world and other worlds.
The main god of Apocalypse is keen on conquest and destruction, so naturally he must confront the gods who are also located in the fourth world. Therefore, Darkseid is no stranger to the power of the old gods.
On the contrary, he understood.
After all, a lot of his power was obtained by plundering the old gods. Regardless of the new gods, the old gods, or other super-ability beings, the source of his ability can be traced back to Shenbo, so naturally he can also relate to it.
Interconversion.
Apocalypse has a special way to plunder the power of the old gods to enhance its own strength. It is through constant plunder that Darkseid can quickly grow to the main god level in a short period of time.
Don't.
You know, thousands of years ago on earth, he was still a weakling who would be split open by a planet god like Ares with an axe. He was actually a very junior god in the parallel universe.
Therefore, he was able to judge the accurate information about the power of the old gods, but the aura that appeared on Magic Box 4.0 made him a little unsure.
He could tell that this power was related to the old gods, because it contained the power of faith, but unlike the general situation, Darkseid could not tell whether its godhead was
What.
In terms of divinity, he always felt that it was somewhat similar to Lucifer's hell.
This gave Darkseid a rare headache.
You must know that Apocalypse is almost invincible in the fourth world, but it is only almost, they still have enemies that they cannot deal with.
For example, Lucifer, the legendary Angel who inherited six-sevenths of God's divine power, even had the ability to create his own world. His strength would be very difficult even for Darkseid.
No one knows what the final result will be before taking action, but Darkseid himself has calculated that even if he can win in the end, it will be meaningless.
Because the aftermath of the battle between the two will destroy the entire world. No matter where the battlefield is, it will be impossible to survive. Such a battle is meaningless.
Because it brings nothing to Darkseid.
And considering that Lucifer's hell has its own special characteristics, not only is it useless, but it also has to bear additional responsibilities (looking after sinners), Darkseid is even less interested.
So all this time, there has been peace between Apocalypse and Hell.
But this time, there is such a ray of divine power carrying the power of hell inside the mother box, which makes Darkseid have to suspect that the god who cast a spell on it is a person born from hell.
Old gods.
What's very interesting is that, as far as he knows, no gods have ever been born in hell.
Even Lucifer, the current ruler of Hell, is actually Angel, originating in the Silver City.
So, what is the origin of this god of hell?
