Chapter 292 Fighting Side by Side with Darkseid
"I can help you take care of Superman."
Tell me about it.
"Great, but I have a condition. First, you have to help me get rid of the meditation mites."
"You're pushing your luck."
On Apokolips, Darkseid, who had just been blasted away by Superman Supreme's punch, tumbling and crashing for several kilometers before finally embedding himself upside down in the ground, flattening a large area of buildings and metal roads, expressionlessly got up and spat out a mouthful of mud he had just eaten:
"The Mite expressed its loyalty to me through Steppenwolf."
"Pfft—loyalty? Are you serious? Even if such loyalty were absolutely true, it would be worthless to you. Besides, the loyalty of the Mite Mite seems more like a joke to me than a word."
He heard Batman scoff, "Besides, I didn't know the Dark Lord was such a good king who cared for his subordinates. Are all those rumors about what you did in the universe just hearsay?"
of course not.
The infamous Lord of Apokolips is best known for conquering a planet and turning all its native inhabitants into Parademons.
Even after Batman said so much, Darkseid's rock-like face remained expressionless, as if he were truly a statue.
The previous words were merely a test, but the result was disastrous. For some reason, Batman knew him far better than he had imagined. Darkseid pondered the source of Batman's unusual understanding of him, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion. So, the Dark Lord immediately abandoned this pointless effort.
"Tell me your terms, Batman."
Darkseid said, "Stop going in circles."
He looked into the far distance, where Superman the Supreme was venting his anger on the earth below, having lost his target.
After a brief moment of regaining his senses, the other party quickly fell into a state of extreme madness again. His heat vision was like a hot steel knife, cutting through the layers of Apokolips' surface as easily as tofu, penetrating deep into the mantle and even pointing straight to the Earth's core.
"My condition is simple, it can be done with just a flick of my finger. Darkseid, I need you to capture the Meditation Mite alive—"
Darkseid was about to say something like "Well done" to smooth things over and agree to Batman's request, but the other man seemed determined not to stop and continued talking:
"I also need you to help me rescue Bane from the Origin Wall. Hmm, you don't know him; he's one of my enemies. Don't rush to refuse. I know you can communicate with the 'Origin' behind the Origin Wall and demand his release..."
"I also need you to help me catch Reverse-Flash. This guy is too fast, and his use of the Speed Force and the Reverse Speed Force he created is unparalleled. Even if I tampered with him beforehand, it would be almost impossible for us Apokolips to catch him."
"I want you too..."
Darkseid wanted to say something more, but he had no chance to interrupt. He could only watch as Batman continued to go on and on, chattering like a duck, saying "We are Apokolips" over and over again, pulling out orders and demands one by one.
"The situation will change immediately once you join the fight. With your Omega Rays, plus me and The Flash, the two of us will be enough to capture him."
"Even if Reverse-Flash is incredibly fast, he can't escape the inescapable trap set up by our Apokolips. This is a battle only you are qualified to participate in. Apart from me, you, and The Flash, no one else is qualified to even peek into that world of extreme speed. Wonder Woman might have been qualified to participate before Reverse-Flash enhanced himself with the Speed Force, but at her current speed, she'd only be good as a lamb to the slaughter."
Batman urged:
"Make a decision quickly, hurry up, I have many things to do for you, Darkseid. You must know very well how ridiculous it is to be a king without land."
Darkseid heard Batman say, "You, the Dark Lord, don't want Apokolips to be destroyed either, do you?"
"Time waits for no one. The longer this drags on, the more damage Superman Supreme will inflict on Apokolips. Even the Dark Walkers are powerless against Superman Supreme, don't you understand?"
Darkseid heard Batman say, "You have absolutely no way to deal with Superman Supreme."
Darkseid remained expressionless; he seemed to always wear that same expression. Behind Batman, the Superman Supreme, who appeared as a tiny dot in the distance, unleashed a massive, all-encompassing heat vision—no, it couldn't be described as a "line," but rather a "pillar" of heat vision.
Two tall buildings vanished into thin air right in front of Darkseid, like ice cream melting in the sun. Superman roared to the sky, his voice shaking the heavens.
"In the previous battle, you also tried to teleport Superman Supreme away using the Sonic Pit, right? Hehe."
Darkseid heard Batman whisper, "But unfortunately, Superman Supreme is perfect. As long as he doesn't want to leave Apokolips, no teleportation method will work on him."
Darkseid's taut face finally relaxed a little, and a human-like anger appeared on his marble-sculpted face, making it seem somewhat unreal and as if one were hallucinating.
"Don't look at me like that. Accept reality. Only I, Batman, possess the means to defeat Superman Supreme."
The Dark Lord heard Batman's voice: "Only I know how to control Superman Supreme. After all, I was the one who released him. How could I dare let him come to Apokolips without being fully prepared?"
"So this is the current situation. You can try other methods to see if you can drive Superman Supreme away from your Apokolips, otherwise you should be prepared that he won't leave until he has completely destroyed Apokolips."
"Enough!" Darkseid slammed his fist into the ground, and the violent shockwave created a large crater.
He leaped to his feet, grabbed Batman by the collar, and his eyes blazed with crimson Omega energy.
"How dare you! How dare you! How dare you do such a thing! Look at the mess you've made—the mess you've made!"
Chen Tao allowed himself to be grabbed; Darkseid needed a little leeway. He simply repeated to Darkseid in a stiff, cold voice:
"Agree to my conditions. This is the only way you can get rid of Superman Supreme."
"Superman Supreme, who has been enraged for several hours, has practically turned half of Apokolips's surface into ruins. But what if he continues his rage on Apokolips for 20 years?"
Chen Tao stared intently into Darkseid's eyes, which were burning with Omega flames: "You know he sees you as an opponent, but haven't you ever wondered why he doesn't attack me?"
"Have you ever thought... if he spends the rest of his life chasing after you... making killing you his life's goal... have you ever thought I could do that?"
With a thud, Chen Tao was slammed heavily to the ground by Darkseid. Chen Tao heard the Dark Lord's deep voice, like a volcano about to erupt. He was burning with rage, but had to suppress it as he spoke to Chen Tao:
"Enough, Batman. Make Superman the Supreme stop. I will do what you ask of me, and I swear I will never break my word."
"Besides that, I have one more condition," Chen Tao said.
"I'm all ears," Darkseid said.
"I demand that you swear that you will never attack the Earth again and that you will never harbor malice towards anyone on Earth."
Darkseid remained silent.
"Make a promise," Chen Tao said.
"You are a man of your word; once you make a promise, you never go back on it. That is my most important request. Unless you promise me that, I will not help you send off Superman the Supreme."
Darkseid stared intently at Batman, the malice in his eyes almost bursting forth along with the blood-red hue within them.
The two of them faced off for a long time...
And finally—
"I refuse."
Darkseid said, "I will not make such a promise."
He saw Batman's face immediately darken:
"Then you'd better keep an eye on your apocalypse..."
"But I can make another promise," Darkseid said. "I swear that if we cooperate sincerely, as long as you are alive and my consciousness still governs my body, I will never set foot on Earth."
Seeing that Batman was about to speak, Darkseid stopped him first:
"Don't even think about making me change my mind, Batman. I've been more than magnanimous. You should kneel down and thank me for my mercy."
"You're right, I certainly won't break my promise, but this is my bottom line. Otherwise, I'd rather fight Superman to the death. Please, please don't doubt my resolve."
He said, "You've done very well, Bat. You've really done very well. But I advise you to quit while you're ahead."
Chen Tao understood Darkseid's meaning. He knew very well that Darkseid had no intention of letting him go, and his actions had brought Darkseid's hatred for him to its peak.
After they join forces to defeat Superman, their own battle will immediately erupt.
Darkseid's raging fury needed an outlet, and he would never let Batman escape unscathed.
"There's no room for negotiation," Darkseid said. "It's either you agree, or it falls apart. There's no third option. I gave you a chance, Batman."
His resolute attitude surprised Chen Tao.
What did I do to offend you so much that you hate me so much?
"You..." He wanted to say something more, but when he met Darkseid's eyes, he finally shut his mouth.
Meeting Darkseid's malicious gaze, Chen Tao also curled up a sinister smile.
They won't let me go...
It turned out to be the case.
Alright then, this is what you wanted, Darkseid. I fattened up the Meditation Mite so much just to wait for this moment.
"make a deal."
He said to Darkseid.
They crossed the sonic tunnel and appeared at the edge of the earth, but immediately Chen Tao received a distress call from the Crimson of All Beings.
……
……
Actually, when the Flash first saw Darkseid, he was already a little desperate.
After all, he had just witnessed Darkseid's amazing feat of fighting against the entire Justice League single-handedly. He was able to handle the attack with ease, and even had room to hold back. What's more, the other Justice League members are not present here now.
Darkseid alone was a game-changer for everyone present. Killer Croc and Poison Ivy, who could barely be considered decent fighters against Reverse-Flash, were nothing but easy prey against Darkseid.
Then his gaze refocused and he saw Batman standing next to Darkseid. Compared to Darkseid, who was like a little giant, the other man's 1.8-meter height seemed rather short. Barry didn't notice him at first, but he quickly realized what was going on on the field.
Darkseid was clearly in cahoots with Batman; they emerged together from the Boom Pit and, through the Red Portal opened by Batman, landed directly on the battlefield.
and many more……
Let's take a look.
Darkseid and Batman are in cahoots?
Am I crazy or is Darkseid crazy?
Why are Darkseid and Batman together?
Chen Tao kept his mouth shut about the Supreme Little Superman project from the beginning, telling almost no one about it from planning to implementation. He even prepared the bat sandwich he ate on the morning of the day he took action.
Besides Bain and Atositas, who were directly involved, he even silenced the mud-faced creature attached to his body.
Therefore, for The Flash, this sudden and unexpected event presented itself to him so quickly that his mind almost stopped working.
Did Batman control Darkseid? And how? Mind control? What kind of mind control could...? Or did they reach some kind of agreement? But Batman had no leverage whatsoever. Did he just hand over Earth to Darkseid...?
Ok……
The Flash's superhuman brain processed seven or eight possibilities in an instant, but without the crucial information that "Superman the Youngster wreaked havoc on Apokolips and Darkseid was powerless to stop him," no matter what he deduced, none of them matched the scene before him, so he just stood there dumbfounded for a moment.
"oops."
The Flash heard Batman say, "We came too hastily and carelessly."
"Darkseid should have intimidated them first."
The Flash turned his head and saw that Reverse-Flash had transformed into a real streak of light and was rushing towards the distant Red of All Beings.
Upon seeing Darkseid and Batman appear together, the other party made an immediate decision: to turn and run.
"But it's not too late now."
The Flash heard Batman say, "Come on, Barry. Before you fight side by side, let's get to know your new teammate—"
Darkseid!
