Doomsday appeared.
His emergence drew massive attention across the battlefield.
Superman, far away on the other side of the Arctic continent, was the first to sense Doomsday's presence.
It was an instinct carved into Kryptonian blood.
His natural enemy!
"What did you do!?"
Superman's furious punch knocked Steppenwolf's hammer away.
Then, without even waiting for him to fall.
He launched himself forward!
Another strike!
"Speak!"
"…"
Steppenwolf was beaten so badly that he couldn't even defend himself.
He didn't understand why this Kryptonian had suddenly gone berserk.
We didn't do anything, did we?
Isn't this just an invasion of Earth and a little genocide plan, why is he so angry?
Since Steppenwolf gave no answer, Superman hit him even harder.
Meanwhile.
On another side of the battlefield.
Wonder Woman, Diana, with the help of Hercules and Ares from the Marvel Universe, had finally rescued her mother, Queen Hippolyta.
It had originally been a grueling fight against the Nemesis team.
But with the arrival of two Greek gods, the tide of battle instantly turned.
"Isn't that Ares, the God of War?"
"He's not dead…"
"Wait! That's not the Ares from our universe!"
Queen Hippolyta looked at the God of War Ares, who was fearlessly spreading death all around him.
She came to a startling conclusion.
"That's right, Mother, they're guests from the Marvel Universe!"
"They came to help us!"
Diana moved Queen Hippolyta to a safer place.
Then turned to rejoin the battle, but saw Hercules already charging forward.
"I heard your fighting skills are exceptional?"
Hercules swung his golden club.
He had no so-called combat technique.
One strength outweighs ten skills!
Before absolute power, every technique is useless.
Hercules swung his club!
All the tricks of the Nemesis team became meaningless under that strike!
Crushed!
Killed on the spot!
No room to retreat!
It was the absolute domination that comes with absolute power.
Though during the battle Hercules was struck by spears and hooks from the Nemesis team, most of the wounds were superficial, merely unsightly.
Hercules was long used to that.
"I can take a hundred of your blows!"
"But one of mine will kill you!"
Hercules laughed and charged into the crowd.
On the other side.
Although the God of War Ares didn't have Hercules' durability, he was not far behind.
The two Greek gods began slaughtering like wolves.
"The Old Gods…"
Clearly.
Granny Goodness had mistaken them for local DC gods.
That is, the Old Gods opposed to Apokolips' New Gods.
"What Old Gods?"
"I don't think I'm old!"
Ares locked onto his target and rushed straight at Granny Goodness.
He didn't even try to dodge.
He leapt high into the air!
The war axe in his hand swung down blow after blow!
Granny Goodness displayed agility unimaginable for her appearance.
Rolling, she dodged Ares's axe while her staff shot toward his side.
"Hmph…"
But Ares seemed unfazed.
He sneered mockingly.
He grabbed her staff directly, then swung his axe.
Granny Goodness was forced to let go of her weapon.
But as she withdrew, a golden rope suddenly wrapped around her neck.
"This sword is for my mother!"
Diana pulled the Lasso of Truth tight with her left hand, yanking hard as she closed in on Granny Goodness.
Her sword pierced through her back.
"Uh-huh!"
Granny Goodness, impaled through the chest, reacted quickly.
Her withered hand suddenly shot out, claws aimed for Diana's face.
But fortunately, Ares was already there.
His axe fell!
Cutting off Granny Goodness's arm.
"You're welcome, sister!"
"…"
Hearing Ares call her that,
Diana almost found it funny.
Who would've thought that one day she'd actually stand side by side with Ares, the God of War?
Putting aside those absurd thoughts that briefly crossed her mind,
Diana fixed her cold gaze on Granny Goodness once more.
"For Paradise Island and the fallen Amazons!"
The Vulcan sword swung again.
This time…
The ruthless Granny Goodness had no way to resist.
"For Darks…"
Whistling sound!
The blade came down.
Granny Goodness's head flew into the air.
Her unfinished words cut off by that single strike.
"Go to the underworld."
Diana flicked the blood from her sword.
She glanced back at Hercules and Ares, who had already finished off the Nemesis team.
The three barely had time to catch their breath.
When a voice for help echoed through the comm channel.
"Hercules, Ares, are you finished there?"
"If you're free, could you come lend a hand?"
Tony's voice came through the line.
Immediately after, Batman's call sounded in Diana's ear.
"Diana, Clark, Black Adam, Dr. Fate… whoever can hear this!"
"In short, the Fortress of Solitude needs your help!"
...…
Diana and Ares exchanged glances.
Then rushed toward the main battlefield.
...
"Oh, come on, haven't you read the comics?"
"Doomsday's a villain!"
"Even eight-year-olds know that!"
"And you, Lex, thought he was a symbol of hope!"
On the main battlefield.
Tony Stark couldn't believe Lex Luthor's action in creating Doomsday.
"Come on, Stark, we didn't even know we were comic characters!"
Batman retorted.
Fortunately, the exoskeletal armor he wore was anti-superhuman.
On his multifunctional belt was a special anti-Superman weapon, a grenade launcher that fired kryptonite powder.
"Kryptonite can temporarily suppress this monster!"
Batman aimed and fired the grenade at Doomsday, who was attacking everyone indiscriminately.
The grenade exploded nearby, releasing a cloud of green mist.
"Roar!"
Doomsday, having absorbed the kryptonite dust, had the red energy on his body suddenly weaken.
But it didn't last long…
A massive number of demon soldiers around them used spears that fired energy blasts.
They were recharging Doomsday with energy.
Dense explosions and laser beams rained down upon him.
Not only did they fail to harm him, they made Doomsday even stronger.
"Damn it, can you use your brains just once!?"
"This guy absorbs energy!"
"Think for a second!"
Tony Stark grumbled at the demons in the air.
But unfortunately…
Given the conflict between sides,
Tony knew those demons wouldn't listen to him.
Of course…
"Roar!"
"Kill that metal tin can that talks too much first!"
In the next moment, all the demons turned their weapons toward Tony.
Meanwhile.
In the sky.
Two meteors streaked one after another above the main battlefield.
More precisely, Superman had struck Steppenwolf so hard he was sent flying high into the air, all the way to the skies above the battlefield.
