New Genesis.
Ever since he learned that Darkseid had visited the Kryptonian God Realm, Izaya's heart had been filled with an ominous premonition.
For Gods of their caliber, such omens usually meant that disaster was almost certainly imminent.
After contemplating all the beings that could threaten him, he pinpointed Shen Mu.
Now, he deeply regretted agreeing to Rao's request to grant him Origin Power.
At the time, he had believed Rao's words, thinking that the Source Wall could truly trap Shen Mu and, in doing so, completely halt the rise of Shen Mu's new power.
However, he hadn't expected that the ancient Source Wall wouldn't be able to completely trap Shen Mu, and instead, it allowed him to gain even greater power, even becoming the first God to break free from its confinement.
Rao had already paid the price of his fall for his foolishness, and the entire Kryptonian Pantheon had been taken over by Shen Mu.
Still, Shen Mu had never seemed to investigate the source of that Origin Power, which had allowed Izaya to breathe a sigh of relief.
He had believed that this matter would slowly be buried by time, and his dealings with Rao would never be mentioned again after Rao's disappearance.
But now, this sudden ominous premonition made him anxious once more.
All the New Gods sensed the change in Izaya's emotions.
Orion even directly asked, "Father, what happened? Is there any unusual activity on Apokolips?"
As Darkseid's biological son, Orion now considered New Genesis his everything.
"A calamity is about to descend."
Izaya spoke these words with a heavy tone.
Immediately, all the New Gods became restless, eagerly asking Izaya what had happened.
"Father, is Darkseid going to tear up the peace treaty and wage war on us?"
"Hmph! If that cruel tyrant truly dares to come, I will personally cut off his head."
"I've long known that those bastards from Apokolips aren't truly committed to peace. If they want war, then let there be war! Do they think we're afraid of them? My legions have been waiting for this day!"
"Father, give the order! This time, we must completely eradicate that tyrant's evil rule."
The group of New Gods all thought Darkseid was about to launch a full-scale war, and one by one, they indignantly volunteered for battle.
After all, in their minds, Apokolips and New Genesis had always been enemies. Although a peace treaty had been signed, everyone knew that the agreement had merely temporarily suppressed the conflict between the two sides.
Sooner or later, Apokolips and New Genesis would have a war.
"Quiet, all of you. This mistake is entirely my fault and has nothing to do with any of you, nor with anyone from Apokolips."
Seeing his New Gods sharpening their weapons, ready for battle at any moment, Izaya used his divine power to calm their fervent emotions.
"Father, what exactly is going on? If Darkseid isn't starting a war, then who could it be?"
"Our New Genesis is known as the Paradise Star; we have always been benevolent and friendly to outsiders, never making enemies. Besides that dark tyrant Darkseid, who else could harbor ill will towards us!"
Uggha, the God of Valor, asked this question with a face full of indignation.
The other New Gods also wore similar expressions.
Hearing these words, endless regret surged in Izaya's heart, but what was done was done; there was no room for regret.
"Alas!"
Izaya sighed deeply. Just as he was about to say something more, the entire New Genesis suddenly trembled.
Seeing this, Izaya's expression changed. He knew that New Genesis had been forcibly brought to a halt.
At this moment, the residents of New Genesis looked up at the sky in terror, only to see a colossal hand pressing down on them.
Immediately, everyone panicked.
Then, a deafening roar of anger echoed into the ears of all New Gods and native inhabitants on New Genesis.
"Izaya, get out here and face your death!"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone on New Genesis instantly changed from terror to fury, because Izaya was the revered name of their beloved Father.
But now, someone was calling him out like this, even using insulting words like "face your death."
Immediately, the New Gods indignantly left their seats, preparing to seize the madman who dared to insult Izaya and bring him back for judgment.
"Stop! No one is allowed out without my command. I will handle this matter personally."
But at this moment, Izaya stopped them, forcefully suppressing all the New Gods with immense authority.
"Father, but..."
Orion tried to say something more, but Izaya directly interrupted him: "Orion, if you still consider me your father, then do not defy my command."
"The same goes for all of you."
After stopping Orion, Izaya then quelled all the New Gods with an unprecedentedly stern expression.
Just then, the voice came again: "Izaya, get out here immediately, or I will first crush your New Genesis, then beat you half to death and drag you out."
This time, the insults were even more offensive.
"Father..."
All the New Gods looked at him with fire in their eyes, their rage completely uncontrollable!
After all, in their hearts, Izaya was the supreme God of Gods, and no one was allowed to offend him.
"I will say it again: without my command, no one is allowed to step out of the Creator God Temple."
Izaya's powerful aura permeated the area, instantly suppressing all the New Gods.
Then, he stepped out, appearing outside New Genesis.
He looked up and saw Shen Mu, who was toying with New Genesis, as well as the newly promoted Multiverse Unique God Zod and Fiora standing beside him, and Metron, who was originally one of the New Gods.
And that thunderous roar had come from Zod's mouth.
When Shen Mu revealed that New Genesis had played a part in his being drawn into the Source Wall, Zod had volunteered to be the vanguard in this expedition against New Genesis.
Shen Mu did not refuse; he readily agreed, also intending to formally introduce his subordinates to all the Gods in the Domain of the Gods.
Thus, this revenge against New Genesis began with Zod and Fiora as the vanguards, with all the Lesser Gods of the Kryptonian God Realm pouring out, and even Metron, the former New God, had come along!
At this moment, the events on New Genesis also alarmed all beings within the Domain of the Gods.
"No way! Is this Kryptonian God truly going to cleanse the Domain of the Gods, starting with New Genesis?"
"Does he truly not fear all of us Gods uniting against him?"
"Let's observe the situation. I don't think things are as we imagine; let's wait before making a judgment."
Many Gods watched the assembled Kryptonian army with solemn expressions.
Although they didn't know when New Genesis had offended Shen Mu, they understood that something big was about to happen!
