At a tavern.
"Constantine, are you done yet?!"
Zatanna urged anxiously.
Around them, Constantine's drinking buddies were also fighting against the Parademons.
"Don't rush me, I'm trying! Damn it, did all these demons go to visit relatives?"
Constantine drew a magic circle in front of him, surrounded by various mediums for summoning demons, but none of them worked.
Then he could only try this.
He pulled out a dagger and slit his wrist, even making a few more cuts, worried the blood wasn't flowing fast enough.
But Constantine's blood was almost drained, and the person he wanted to summon still hadn't arrived, until Zatanna, unable to watch any longer, used a healing magic to save his life.
"What are you doing? You don't need to commit suicide this way," Zatanna said.
"..."
Could it be that he had smoked too much in recent years, turning his soul black, and Lucifer no longer found him appealing?
Besides this reason, Constantine really couldn't think of any other.
Outside, screams suddenly rang out.
The two walked out and saw an old white-haired woman leading a group of women, continuously slaughtering their teammates.
Granny Goodness.
She was a member of Darkseid's Dark Elite, responsible for training the Female Furies for Darkseid.
---
"That's an air-raid shelter, a refuge, head that way!"
Hal Jordan, holding his Green Lantern Ring, continuously released green energy shields, protecting groups of civilians.
While fending off the Parademons' attacks, he yelled into his headset: "Batman, there are too many Parademons, we can't hold on much longer!"
Diana and Aquaman were also fighting fiercely, and the Robins were here too, along with other superheroes.
But having just resolved one war, and now facing the entire Lei Mo Army of Apokolips and Darkseid's subordinates, they were already starting to run out of stamina.
Bruce looked at the tide of Parademons continuously surging forward, his brows furrowed tightly into a 'river' shape.
He decisively handed the Batwing to Lex Luthor, then turned and quickly walked towards the room where the invaders were being held.
In the room, Flashpoint Wonder Woman and Flashpoint Aquaman, along with a host of other villains, were firmly bound.
"A group of enemies has appeared outside, and we're short-handed. We need you to help deal with these Parademons. Afterwards, I will send you back to your original World."
Flashpoint Wonder Woman sneered.
"Why should I help you?"
Bruce stared intently into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Because I am Batman, and you have no choice. Either we all die together, or we all live together."
Flashpoint Wonder Woman was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her mind, and finally nodded slowly.
"I agree, but they might not."
"I agree too."
"That's right, I don't want to die yet."
The other villains all agreed, but deep down, they were all making their own plans, thinking of finding an opportunity to escape. None of them truly intended to help.
Bruce quickly unbound them and led everyone outside.
As soon as they came out, their first reaction was why the sky had suddenly turned dark.
They looked up.
Two-meter-tall Parademons, like locusts, covered the sky in complete darkness; looking out, there was no end in sight.
"Damn it, Batman, you call these 'a group'!"
Flashpoint Wonder Woman was the first to curse.
Flashpoint Aquaman also understood that today, they might truly meet their end in this World.
"You have time to curse me, you'd better quickly deal with them."
Bruce had already put on a full-metal battle suit.
The Long-finned Shark Armor.
It was specially built for World-level wars.
It was originally intended to counter the Court of Owls, but the production was only half-finished when the Court of Owls was wiped out by Qinuo.
So it became a collector's item.
He didn't expect it to come in handy here.
Flashpoint Wonder Woman and Flashpoint Aquaman led their respective armies into battle.
The villains also didn't dare to run and followed behind to help.
On a tall building in this city, a blue figure stood silently.
Overlooking the chaotic and tragic war below, his eyes flickered with complex light.
Even with people from another World joining the battle, it only temporarily stabilized the disadvantage.
These Parademons were completely different from those in the past; they were stronger and faster, they were Super Parademons.
The first to be defeated were the three Robins.
Their weapons and ammunition were all used up.
Just as the Parademons surrounded them and were about to tear them to shreds.
Shadows from beneath their feet reached out several hands, grabbing their ankles and dragging them into the darkness.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw their old opponent in front of them.
"Why did you save us?"
Nightwing asked.
They had always caused them trouble, even sending them to the ICU multiple times.
"Because you are Damian's brothers. Although not by blood, if you die, she will be sad."
Lei Xiaogu said.
And the leader had also instructed him.
"Damian? What's your relationship with Damian?"
Tim was very fond of his younger sister, so why would she be involved with a dangerous person like Lei Xiaogu?
Lei Xiaogu's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
"Didn't Batman tell you? I am Damian's maternal grandfather. You should address me as 'Grandpa' too."
"Fake," Nightwing said.
"Impossible," Jason said.
"I must be dreaming," Tim said.
The three of them found it incredibly difficult to imagine that the grandfather of their sweet and adorable younger sister was the leader of the World's largest Shadow organization.
Besides them, Lei Xiaogu did not save anyone else.
Casualties also began to appear.
Green Arrow, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, Lex Luthor, Amazon warriors, Atlantean soldiers...
The entire World was continuously falling.
"Batman, what exactly is your plan?!"
Hal Jordan said angrily, one of his arms torn off at the shoulder, which he had temporarily stopped the bleeding from with a construct.
The battle had been ongoing for an hour, casualties were constantly mounting, and even Apokolips above them was steadily drawing closer.
Yet Batman had only been attacking the surrounding enemies.
He now wished he would disappear like before, then suddenly reappear, with that annoying, arrogant look on his face, and tell them:
"I have a plan," and then lead them to win this war.
Bruce's Long-finned Shark Armor was already riddled with holes, and beneath the broken helmet, half of his face, full of exhaustion and determination, was revealed.
He remained silent, simply raising his right arm and firing his last freeze Batarang.
That Batarang, like a cold flash, accurately struck the Super Parademon that appeared behind Hal Jordan, instantly freezing it into a block of ice.
Hal Jordan, without looking back, swung his hand, shattering the ice block into countless shards that scattered across the ground.
"Hal, I am just a mortal. Not all crises can be solved with a plan.
There was no plan from beginning to end. I just sent out a distress signal, but whether he can receive it, or when he will receive it, I don't know. All we can do is hold on, hold on until we die!"
