(The Great Darkness.)

Chapter ten:

When God said. Let there be light, the Original Darkness retreated and stayed inactive for unknown age's.

The powerful Darkness soon gained consciousness but was unsure about the purpose of it's existence. Several heroes tried to battle it, but they were easily defeated and drawn into it's almost infinite being. The encounters taught the Darkness a lot. The demon Etrigan told the Darkness that it was evil, Doctor Fate explained that evil was despicable, and Eclipso taught it revenge. All the encounters only served to further strengthen the Darkness and point it's agression towards Heaven. Finally, Swamp Thing entered the Darkness, and tried to explain his theory of evil, that good and evil define each other and that one cannot exist without it's counterpart. The Darkness then reached it's hand towards the Silver City, and to the surprise of everyone, God reached out her hand as well. The two of them embraced and merged, and the Darkness became part of God's own being. The D. C universe was never the same again. Good and Evil will still exist, but were forever inseparable like Yin and Yang.

The Darkness was never seen again, but the event sparked a civil war in Hell that ended with it being a Triumvirate. The realm of the Darkness has since become known as the Shadow lands, a power source for beings such as the Shade, Culp, Obsidian, and others.
