Chapter 240: Battle of the Old Gods
If we want to talk about Darkseid, we have to first mention the "Old Gods" in the DC worldview.
The "Old Gods" are also known as the Olympian Gods. In the DCEU, they are the native gods of Earth.
In reality, they are more like ordinary people with super powers.
Among them, Zeus, the "King of Gods", is even more powerful.
He has the same interests and hobbies as all the handsome guys here, they all like beautiful women.
But he not only likes it, he also wants to get on base.
Therefore, the size of the Old God family once grew to a very large size.
However, Zeus was tired of the love games of his own race and planned to create a whole new race to accompany him, so human beings were created by him.
At the same time, Zeus's son Poseidon followed suit.
The Atlanteans created a culture that worshipped the ocean on the new continent of Atlantis.
And he gave them the "Poseidon Steel" hidden on the seabed to forge the Golden Trident.
However, this behavior soon aroused the disgust of the eldest son Ares, who then became jealous.
He secretly bewitched the newborn human race, inciting chaos and war.
In order to offset the ever-present influence of Ares, the God of War, Zeus created the Amazons to help humans resist Ares's conspiracy.
That’s how it all started.
But around 8 BC, the eight-year-old baby Darkseid led his army of Apocalypse demons to invade Earth.
Although he is only eight years old, his strength and ability are truly supermodel-like.
The old gods had to put aside their past grudges and summoned other secondary races, including humans, Amazons, and Atlantis, and even the Green Lantern Corps from outside the domain to join the war.
Several forces unite to deal with the threat from Apokolips.
After Ares severely injured Darkseid with an axe, the Apokolips had to retreat temporarily.
The three "Mother Boxes" were left on Earth and handed over by Zeus to three emerging races that had made contributions in the war for safekeeping. This is also the plot shown in "Justice League".
And these three races are humans, Atlantis and Amazon.
In order to avoid giving too much information, Jonathan only told Bruce the content briefly and did not tell him about the anti-life equation.
You know, the Anti-Life Equation was accidentally discovered by Darkseid and was engraved on the surface of the earth, and this was also the ultimate reason for his invasion of the earth.
The Anti-Life Equation manifests itself as an extremely powerful control-like ability that corrodes and engulfs anything it touches.
Upon hearing this anti-life equation, all covered lives will lose their free will and be forcibly manipulated by the user.
Because of the terrifying extent of this ability, Jonathan did not tell Bruce.
All it takes is a major event like an "alien" invasion to make Bruce, who is already cautious and scheming, toss and turn and stay awake at night.
"Darkseid..."
The strange name rolled in Bruce's throat.
While the other party was speaking, Bruce observed every detail of Jonathan's expression very carefully:
A wandering eye, a twitching facial muscle, a subtle change in the tone of voice - all of these can give away signs of lying.
However, this time, he found nothing.
Jonathan's expression was calm and natural. There was no emotion when he spoke this information. Even his breathing rhythm remained regular.
"So... why are you telling me this?"
Bruce rapped his knuckles on the table, his eyes never leaving Jonathan.
Jonathan shrugged.
"Don't you want to know my identity?"
"Suppose... the Darkseid you mentioned really exists, then what does he have to do with you?"
When he said this, the air in front of the two of them seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Because I am like Darkseid, I am not from Earth. I also came from outside the Earth."
"This is ridiculous."
Bruce said this almost subconsciously.
His mind raced, trying to find the flaw in Jonathan's words.
"Then what do you have to prove your identity?"
At this time, there was a hint of aggression in Bruce's voice.
"Don't worry..."
Jonathan relaxed on the dining room couch.
"If you really don't believe it, you can try to wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
This ambiguous answer made Bruce feel even more troubled.
What are you waiting for? How long are you waiting for?
"I'll tell you in person when Diana comes back."
Jonathan had little desire to explain.
There was no other reason. The master in front of him was a very thoughtful person. If he used the same rhetoric he used to coax Diana, the other party would easily notice the loophole in his language.
What's more, every time you say something, the master will ask one more question, and there's no telling when he'll stop.
The reason for having this meal was just to give the other party face.
"In fact, Diana already knows my identity. It's unnecessary for you to ask me to come here. Her Lasso of Truth is not just for show."
"If you still have doubts, you can look for the Mother Box among humans, or you can ask for the specific details of the war between the old gods."
When Diana and the Lasso of Truth were mentioned, Bruce's brows relaxed slightly.
As the sacred weapon of the Amazons, he knew the power of the Lasso of Truth very well.
Bruce had already known Clark's strengths before, and he was no match for him at all.
And now, Jonathan, whose background is far more unknown than Clark, has become extremely alert.
This is also the reason why he did not go directly to the door to fight, but chose to ask the other party by inviting him to dinner.
If you can't win, all your efforts will be in vain.
But now these are all false...
Bruce couldn't get anything out of Jonathan now, and he didn't have the ability to interrogate him.
So I can only rely on myself to find clues.
Indeed, in this matter, neither Jonathan nor Clark's identity is important.
What’s important is whether this extremely threatening thing Jonathan mentioned actually exists.
at the same time.
Clark, anxious to confirm, also changed into the dark blue combat uniform. The "S"-shaped family emblem on his chest glowed faintly in the dim light.
He first found an inconspicuous place with no surveillance, then jumped up, raised his hands, and rushed directly into the sky.
The next second, the sky roared as if it was torn apart, and the sonic boom exploded behind Clark like a war drum.
Clark was flying at an extremely fast speed, and the clouds were cut mercilessly like a sharp blade as he gradually broke the sound barrier, forming jagged white cloud patterns.
Soon, the outline of Antarctica gradually became clear in the field of vision, and the vast ice field shone with dazzling white light in the sun.
