(Aden's P.O.V)
My finger hovered over the plus sign at the end of each godly title. I was unsure if I even wanted to actually read on how I managed to acquire over 5 more divinities. It felt...unreal. As if this was a cosmic prank by the Presence or some other entity still out of my reach.
"Fuck it. In for a penny, in for a pound."
I clicked on the first divinity all the way to the last.
A new, more detailed interface appeared in my vision. I won't lie to you, I gasped like a character from a tv show drama. Tsk, my gangster points just went into the negatives.

::---------------------------------------::
I snorted from my seat. The action did not go unnoticed.
"Something funny?"
Green Arrow asked in a tone both I and Yaotl found... inappropriate.
"Watch your mouth human."
I held up a hand and waved Yaotl down.
The panther-man narrowed his cat eyes before obediently sitting down on my right. Vaatu was next to me on my left. The rest of the seating arrangements were pretty random with a notable exception of Batman sitting directly opposite to me on the far end of the table. It was clearly a tactic to show that despite my holding all the cards, the League would not simply acquiesce to my demands.
"Sorry about that." I apologized.
"Just thought of something that made me happy. Now, I'm sure you're aware of the empty seats scattered around the table..."
I gestured. There were more than 10 unoccupied seats. One was next to Yaotl while the rest were in between different Leaguers.
"We still have a few more guests that will arrive...ah, speak of the devils."
I changed my statement halfway when a grey portal swirling like mist appeared beside Yaotl.
The first person to walk out of it was Black Canary.
"Dinah..."
Green arrow rose from his seat. Canary's eyes were drawn to him and she took a few steps in his direction before hugging him tightly.
"Ollie. Guys...you are all okay..."
A look of stunned relief had overcome her.
I could basically see the mood of the Justice League members improve, except for Batman who was still looking at me as of we were in a stare off. I also felt Wonder Woman's eyes on me. She on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression on her face.
Canary surveyed the room before her eyes landed on me. She pursed her lips together and stepped away from Green Arrow.
"Sorry everybody. I'll try to act more professionally from now on."
"Canary." I nodded with a slight smile.
"If you wouldn't mind, could you please have a seat?"
She said nothing as she occupied the seat next to Green Arrow.
Michael and his theatrics...
After Canary had taken a seat, the other guests we were waiting for walked out of the portal one after the other. Stewart, Jordan and Gardner had healed up nicely after I'd, well...healed them.
"I wasn't sure whether you wanted Guy here for this talk, but I felt bad leaving the guy in the dark, when he fought valiantly against the one responsible for the planet's explosion."
The three Green Lanterns took their seats without much fanfare. They simply nodded at the colleagues and sat down.
Their moods were depressing and an aura of gloom hung above them like a cloud. They blamed themselves for failing to stop Grayven.
I stood up.
"What is the measure or rather quality that decides whether someone is a hero or not?" My question was met with silence. I shrugged.
"Exactly, no one knows. So despite what you say, the decision to have the junior team present for this thing is not yours to make."
Beside Vaatu, to my right, a yellow boom tube opened up. Aqualad followed by his team, Superboy or was it Superion now?, Miss Martian, Robin, Kid Flash and Artemis walked out.
"Aqualad, I guess you will have to also participate in this meeting as the representative of your King Orion." I told him, running a critical eyes through the room.
"This is as much a political meeting as it is an account of devastating events."
He gave a curt nod- Aqualad style and together they all took their seats.
Only two seats were left unoccupied. It surprised me just how somber and quiet the room was. The Flash didn't crack any jokes. He fidgeted with an engagement in his palm, staring intently at nothing.
I sighed.
"We have two more people left to join us." I looked back at the gray portal on Yaotl's left.
"Michael?"
I asked and 2 people stepped past. A gasp was heard by almost half the room. Everyone stood up to rush to him but I froze space around each of them.
"Please be patient." I looked at the last son of Krypton. Or rather his body.
"He's not who you think he is."
I added walking closer to the strenfely quiet figure whose hands were locked together in full grey manacles. The thing looking back at me was not in any way Superman. It's black eyes were unfocused and dull. It's expression was slack and empty.
"He was acting out a little so I drained him off all motivation. Literally" Michael explained. Some of his abilities included positive emotional draining. He could leave you a mewling unmotivated, hopeless sack of meat with no will to live. My spirits were fucking crazy man.
I nodded.
"Release him from the hold."
Michael bowed, took a step back and snapped a finger. Clark blinked his eyes, looking around in confusion.
When he saw me, all the color blanched off his face.
"Mo...monster! Monster! Stay away from me!..."
I felt some of the Leaguers struggle under my hold before a telepathic message from Martian Manhunter, telling them that the one in control was not Clark did they settle down.
I increased the weight of the manacles holding him by a factor of a million. His hands shook with the sudden weight pulling him down and he fell to his knees. I walked up to him and placed a finger on top of his forehead as he tried to move but found out that space was frozen.
I wonder how this was supposed to work...
It couldn't be that hard right? I already had an intuitive understanding of how to control divine energy, just follow that sane intuition. It might have sounded easy but it was not. If my main divinities were like infinite +1 oceans then my lesser Divinities were like infinite oceans. Confusing? Yeah I know, me too.
Finally I managed to access my God of Life domain and I could suddenly sense the world with a different awareness. Life force awareness. I could see everything that worked together to make life...life.
Webs of a certain energy that was undetectable under any means with threads criss crossing everything. Inside Clark's body, I felt two souls, two life forces because a soul can also be termed as life. Anything that existed as a direct opposition of the universe's base nature...fell into that category.
I grabbed onto the sickly parasitic soul I could feel and dragged it out... kicking and screaming.
A red tinted energy poured off Clark and tried to blanket the whole room. The red energy started coalescing into a huge featureless face that roared.
" You shall all perish under my power!"
"Yeah right."
I flexed my will and the red energy rapidly shrunk to the size of a marble. Seriously what is this obsession with round things? Let's do it differently this time.
I flexed my will again and the energy roiled in my hold before reforming into a red rat. I turned to my audience and unfroze them with a casual wave.
"You..."
A pressure of immense magnitude was exerted in the chamber before the League could start making an issue out of me controlling them.
"Thank you Yaotl." I raised the rat for all to see.
"Now then, I want to introduce the sole cause of this entire Fiasco."
