Back on Earth, oddly enough, all of the assembled heroes had completely stopped their intense fighting to watch the incredible event taking place in the vast expanse of outer space above them.
Thanks to the technological genius and innovation of Mr Terrific, the advanced cameras that were following David around were able to record him from a far distance away safely, positioning themselves so they could stay well out of harm's way and still record everything happening in the battle.
But Zatanna had enhanced and buffed them with her magic, significantly boosting their quality and range, allowing the cameras to even see and clearly observe the battle taking place in the depths of space, where the Blue, Red, and combatants were extremely far away from Earth's atmosphere. The cameras could't go beyond the moon,
"He is trying to kill him!" Doctor Fate said with a look of genuine horror and alarm spreading across his golden face, and to everyone's growing confusion and surprise, Nabu instantly took over complete control of the shared body,
With a brilliant flash of golden light, Doctor Fate teleported himself into the vacuum of outer space, arriving just in time to physically pull Darkseid away from the massive Blue tornado just as the Blue and Red energies met and violently collided.
This violent collision sent a massive ripple spreading out in space as the two opposing forces met head-on. It was like reality itself was being divided into two separate halves by the conflict, where one half sucked everything in with incredible gravitational pull, and the other half pushed everything away with tremendous repelling force.
With David's actions, the thin layer of space separating the two opposing forces ripped and tore apart like fabric, allowing the two energies to start fusing and merging together… birthing Purple for the first time in existence.
And everything in the immediate surrounding area was completely erased, ripped apart, and destroyed, almost as if someone had simply reached out and hit the delete button on existence itself.
Whether it was Saturn's various moons orbiting the planet, and even a significant part of Saturn itself, they all disappeared completely and utterly from existence… and when the Purple orb exploded outward with absolutely devastating force, everything else in the vicinity was erased as well, leaving behind a sight that shook everyone watching on Earth to their very core.
"What's the meaning of this?" David turned his head to look directly at Doctor Fate, with clear irritation written on his features, who was holding a chained-up and badly injured Darkseid, restrained in glowing magical bindings.
David was already tired and exhausted before entering this intense battle, and he was even more tired and drained after fighting for so long without rest.
"If Darkseid dies, the universe would fall apart. He is a god, he makes up a part of reality," Doctor Fate explained seriously, making David click his tongue in annoyance and frustration at this revelation.
But then, suddenly and without warning, he suddenly paused in his complaints when Darkseid suddenly exploded with raw power, somehow getting stronger and more powerful despite his severe injuries.
Doctor Fate was sent flying away helplessly from the intense explosion of energy, causing David to look at all of this unfolding before him with a tired and weary look on his face, for this situation felt a lot like those video games where the boss is finally defeated, and once their HP bar reaches low enough, a cutscene suddenly appears showing them transforming and powering up for a second phase.
'I can't kill him because it would destroy the universe, but he could kill me without any consequence… wow, this is so fair and balanced.' David thought with bitter sarcasm running through his mind, before he held out his fist in preparation for the next exchange.
As soon as Darkseid shot forward towards him with renewed vigor and strength, David punched forward with all his enhanced might… and Darkseid's eyes widened in complete shock and disbelief as David's fist punched cleanly through Darkseid's fist, completely destroying it.
Darkseid was genuinely shocked and stunned by how David had suddenly gotten so much stronger after he himself had gotten stronger through his power-up.
He looked at David in utter disbelief, who only stuck his tongue out at him mockingly in response, a mocking gesture and childish look that Darkseid would absolutely not stand for or tolerate from anyone.
But before Darkseid could properly react or respond to the insulting gesture, David held his hand out like it was a gun with his fingers extended in the shape, and he formed the Blue orb in his palm, but this time around, Darkseid realized and understood what was fundamentally different with David compared to go… David had added imaginary mass to not just himself, but the Blue orb, making it far more dangerous and potent than before.
Blue was already incredibly powerful and destructive before David made any modifications to it… so what would actually happen if David took it further and used Star Rage, giving it imaginary mass on top of everything it already possessed?
Well, the answer turned out to be quite simple and terrifying at the same time. Blue, even while not going all out and while David was holding back its full potential, became something that, after creating and releasing it, transformed into a black hole that pulled everything toward its center… and unlike a normal black hole that simply consumed matter and light, this was a space-time black hole that warped and bent reality itself.
David grinned with satisfaction at his creation, only for his body to suddenly move on its own based purely on instinct, dodging and weaving away from a space-time cut that came dangerously close and nearly sliced him cleanly in half.
David's eyes looked over in the direction the attack had come from and saw the lord of chaos standing there in the void… and not just one of them either, but all of them gathering together in one unified group… since after all, when would be the best possible time to strike down an enemy if not right now, when David was at his absolute weakest point in this exhausting battle?
David's expression shifted into a deep frown as he looked at the assembled Lords of Chaos standing before him, all being led by Klarion positioned at their front. They didn't have their familiar cats or anything like that to anchor them to this plane of existence, so how were they not only here in this dimension when they shouldn't be but also appearing so much stronger and more powerful than they had been before?
Darkseid was also visibly stunned and caught off guard by this completely unexpected development, but as his severely damaged hand shockingly healed at rapid speed before everyone's watching eyes, regenerating flesh and bone, he grinned wickedly and cruelly as he turned his head to look directly at David with malicious intent.
'I can swear with absolute certainty that Darkseid didn't have such a high level of regeneration before this moment… what's going on here? What changed?' David thought with growing concern and confusion building in his mind, but he pushed the thoughts aside and shrugged off the worry as he channeled and fused Red into one fist, and Blue into the other fist, all while simultaneously infusing Star Rage into both fists at the same time to amplify their power.
Instantly and without any delay, whether it was the Lords of Chaos or Darkseid himself, they were all pulled towards David by the overwhelming gravitational force he was generating from Blue, and David wasted absolutely no time at all and punched forward with the fist containing Red.
He never actually touched them physically with his hand; instead, Red hit and struck the space directly in front of him, causing the fabric of reality to crack like fragile glass shattering, and sending a devastating shock wave rippling forward, which slammed violently into all of them and sent them rocketing away through space while their bodies were covered in blood streaming from various wounds caused by the impact.
[WhiteBeard013] OH shit, is he using White Beard's Powers?
[Blazing Fist] Naw, it's more like Black Beard. He pretty much has two devil fruit… shit, did he just pull this out of his ass?
[Nutcracker] I have a feeling Judge had this power all the time. Seeing how he created that purple attack, I believe he took Blue, reversed it to create Red, which did the opposite of Blue, and pushed instead of pull. He then fused Blue and Red, which creates Purple.
[Monkeytreegrower] You're saying Judge had these powers all this time? When he was fighting that higher-dimensional girl, could he do this? He almost died!
Boom
The deafening sound echoed through the vacuum as David was sent rocketing backwards into Saturn's massive planetary body, with Darkseid following closely and relentlessly after him with another devastating punch already cocked back and ready.
David's fist, which had shattered and broken from the previous brutal clash with Darkseid, quickly healed itself and moved into position, punching forward with a fist infused with both Red and Star Rage combined, but his fist shattered once again,
The bones caving in upon themselves from the tremendous force of the collision, while Darkseid's fist connected solidly and directly with his chest, sending him rocketing through the gas giant's atmosphere while throwing up blood that floated and drifted in the void of space, only to be erased by the sheer power they were releasing from their clash.
