He mocked the throne of darkness.
Got one-tapped by a god.
And came back breathing.
Now?
The gods are quiet.
The League is done watching.
And Elias?
Still arrogant. Still grinning. Still dangerous.
But this time…
He's not in control.
Location: Celestial Axis – Council of Gods (Again)
The divine thrones remain filled. But not a single word is spoken.
Not one god dares to mock Elias now.
Not after he survived Darkseid's Maze of Submission.
Not after he stood up again — laughing.
Even Spectre is quiet.
Even Hecate hides her grin.
Because one truth is clear now:
He's growing too fast.
And faster than any of them predicted.
Highfather's voice finally breaks the silence.
"He is chaos bound to destiny. We must not interfere further…"
But The Presence's Shadow glows a little dimmer.
A silent agreement:
"Let the mortals humble him."
Location: Earth – Watchtower
Elias walks into the training room 48 hours post-Maze.
Still bruised. Still smiling.
He whistles. "So, who wants round two? I still got five good fingers left."
Batman: "You're unstable."
Wonder Woman: "Reckless."
Flash: "Annoying."
Aquaman: "I'd drown him if he wasn't fireproof."
Superman steps forward.
"You got lucky, Elias. Darkseid let you live. That wasn't strength. That was pity."
Elias rolls his eyes. "Keep telling yourself that, Kal."
Superman nods at Cyborg.
Cyborg activates a Justice-level failsafe.

Justice League Meeting – Private Chamber
Superman: "He's too arrogant. And he just survived a trial that should've shattered him."
Batman: "If we don't slow him down, he'll make enemies we can't save him from."
Diana: "He must learn what restraint means."
Martian Manhunter: "He's not a villain. But he walks a blade's edge."
Flash (sipping energy drink): "We just need to… like, cool his ego before he levels a continent for looking at him wrong."
Decision: Temporary Humbling Protocol – Enforced.
Location: Watchtower Cafeteria – Day 2 of Nerf
Elias sits at a table, sipping cheap League coffee.
A Green Lantern rookie walks past, nudges his chair.
Elias grins. "Do that again, kid."
The rookie smirks, "What're you gonna do, Omega Boy? Sparkle at me?"
Elias stands, towering over him.
The League's internal sensor triggers a shock pulse. His arms lock mid-air.
"…Tch."
He sits back down.
He's surrounded. Nerfed. Mocked.
But deep inside, the system still hums.
And Elias still watches.
Still learns.
Still smiles.
[System Whisper Mode – Active]
• Recording humiliations…
• Logging names…
• Planning revenge…
• "You will all regret this."
Final Scene – Justice League Observation Room
Elias trains hand-to-hand with basic League dummies. No powers. No system. Just grit.
He fails 3 out of 5 simulations. Gets thrown into walls. Knocked over by Hawkman.
Every time?
He laughs.
"Didn't break my spine this time. Progress."
Superman watches through the glass.
Batman speaks beside him.
"You think this'll work?"
Superman: "No. But when the leash breaks, I want him to remember who put it on."
Batman nods. "And what we made him crawl through to earn it back."
