Cover me?
Do we have a relationship?
As doubts began to appear in Aron's mind, he looked back toward the DC Universe.
Peeking beyond the universe...
Immediately drew the attention of many great gods within the DC Universe!
The first was the physical avatar of the DC Universe itself, Destiny, who slowly opened her eyes.
She was a goddess with green hair!
Like Eternity from the Marvel Universe, Destiny's body was also composed of the stars of the entire DC cosmos.
Beside Destiny...
There was another malevolent entity that also turned its attention toward Aron!
That mass of malice was incomparably pure, as if it were primordial evil itself, born at the very beginning of existence.
It was the opposite of all light and justice.
It was...
"The cursed Beast!"
"Eternal, boss, open the door!"
"The DC neighbors let their dog out to bite me! Don't you care?!"
"…"
Eternal didn't say a word, just quietly closed his eyes.
Kid, I told you not to go outside, now deal with it yourself.
Aron turned and made an international gesture at Eternity.
But Eternity still didn't react.
In fact, that malicious mass from the DC Universe did not come out.
Aron sighed in relief.
He wasn't sure if the six Infinity Stones could even kill that colossal creature.
If it was the later, weakened version of the Beast, there would be no problem.
After all, that Beast had once degenerated from the opposite of God into Lucifer's twin.
But if it was the Beast from the ancient comic eras…
Eternity, do you still have contact with the Living Tribunal?
In any case.
Let's leave that scene aside.
Aron hadn't encountered any danger outside the universe, as the Ancient One had warned.
The most that happened was that he attracted the attention of a few cosmic gods.
"Nothing to say."
"In the future, he might take their place!"
Aron pulled out a small notebook and quietly wrote down the names of every cosmic god who had paid attention to him.
It wasn't about whether they were clients or not.
If dimensional demons were Aron's main customers, then these cosmic gods were true wealth from the heavens!
It was like running a small business, and suddenly two princesses and one king show up.
From a business worth tens or hundreds of thousands,
it turned into a massive investment with multiple potential clients capable of bringing unimaginable fortune.
"As long as I can win over even one of them, the wealth will be priceless."
Aron thought as he observed.
Then he turned his gaze back to the battlefield of the DC Universe.
Can you guys hurry it up?
Man, we're waiting to separate the universes once you're done.
…
Earth in the DC Universe.
The war, which Aron disliked for dragging on so slowly, still raged on.
Darkseid's army was far larger than expected.
The scientist from Apokolips, DeSaad had directly established a stable teleportation channel,
linking Apokolips's base to Earth.
He continuously sent new waves of demons.
"Tony, didn't you say you'd won a much bigger intergalactic war?"
On the battlefield,
Batman wore the exoskeletal armor he had prepared for Superman, the Anti-Superman Armor.
But even with the help of that powerful suit,
old Bruce Wayne couldn't change his nature in large-scale battles.
One-on-one: general.
With preparation: unbeatable.
In a mass battle: just another soldier.
Batman's awkwardness was perfectly on display in this massive war.
"Bruce, the design of this armor is simply weak. Can't you learn something from me?"
"You've got no flight mode, no long-range support…"
"And that bare chin!"
"Aren't you afraid someone might shoot you right in the jaw?"
"Or do you think you've got a steel jaw like Superman, with Kryptonian blood???"
Tony Stark flew through the air, providing fire support for Batman fighting below.
"Don't change the subject, Stark!"
"Did you lie about that intergalactic war!?"
Batman struck a demon, then snatched its spear and fired at several demons in the air.
"Who lied? We really won an intergalactic war! Much bigger than this one here! And that was a real space war, not this ground skirmish of yours!"
Tony Stark's hand cannon blasted out a powerful beam; then he spun midair and swept through the nearby demons.
"Really?" said Batman. "Then why do you look like you have no experience?"
"Well, that's because… because…"
Tony was momentarily speechless. He didn't want to admit that in that previous intergalactic war, they had basically just been background extras. The main ship and most enemies had been destroyed by a massive octopus-like creature.
"Fine, I admit I exaggerated a little."
"But you've got too many enemies!"
Tony Stark fought while grumbling. If only he had brought his remaining dozen suits along.
However, misfortune never comes alone.
At that moment—
"Rooaaar——!"
A thunderous roar sounded behind them.
Tony, as a stranger in this universe, hadn't yet realized what was happening.
Batman, however, reacted immediately and sharply looked in the direction the sound came from the Fortress of Solitude!
"Who's guarding the Fortress of Solitude right now?" Batman quickly asked through the comms.
Soon, a weak reply came.
"It's Lex Luthor. He took the Mother Box and said he's activating the Doomsday plan."
Dr. Fate, who had just been rescued by Flash, answered weakly.
"What!?"
"And the others, didn't anyone try to stop him?"
Batman's voice had barely echoed when Deadshot, who had been saved by Quicksilver, chimed in.
"Bane's dead, Hawkman's dead, Boomerang's dead, Peacemaker's dead…"
"Bats, if you come back tonight, everyone'll be dead!"
"Who's even left?"
Deadshot took the opportunity to jab at Batman without restraint. After all, Batman had once thrown him in prison. He had ended up in the Suicide Squad because of it.
Old enemies, old grudges.
"…"
Batman had no words. He only turned and looked toward the Fortress of Solitude.
...
Meanwhile.
Inside the Fortress of Solitude.
Lex Luthor's face was ashen. His confidence completely vanished as Doomsday reached full form.
"Rooaaar——!"
Seeing the massive creature continuously roaring in the cultivation fluid, Lex Luthor finally realized the catastrophe Dr. Fate had mentioned.
He hadn't created another Superman!
But a true, complete monster!
That terrifying killing aura made Lex Luthor tremble.
"You understand what I'm saying, don't you?"
Trying to fix his mistake, Lex Luthor mustered the courage to speak to Doomsday.
But the only response he received were cold, emotionless eyes.
"I revived you using Kryptonian technology and the Mother Box. I don't expect you to obey me, but I hope you'll do me a favor."
"…"
The fully-formed Doomsday slowly stepped out of the cultivation fluid. He was over three meters tall. Lex Luthor looked like a child before him.
But Lex gathered his courage, lifted his head, and looked up at Doomsday.
"I hope you'll help me destroy the enemies outside! Even just this once!"
"…"
Doomsday was silent. He quietly stared down at Lex Luthor.
At the moment Lex thought he would attack, suddenly, Doomsday roared, turned around, and charged out of the Fortress of Solitude.
"Uff…"
Lex Luthor, who had barely survived, exhaled in relief.
Then came the good news and the bad news.
The good news, Doomsday had accepted his request and launched an attack on Steppenwolf's army.
But the bad news, Doomsday also attacked the heroes of both the DC and Marvel universes.
