Chapter 196: Doomsday's State

"Gods are indeed something. There are things that I can't even say. But I should know about the things that interest you."

Athena's fair and graceful face slightly furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with unspeakable sorrow.

"Oh."

H'el sat on an iron seat, leaning back, his right elbow resting on the armrest, his fingers supporting his right cheek, his neck tilted as he looked towards Athena.

"Let's start with this universe."

"At the beginning of this universe's birth, the initial energy source appeared and was gradually depleted, marking the first cosmic war in the universe's inception.

The existence of gods dates back to the birth of the universe. I can't specify the exact reasons, but we appeared at the beginning of the universe's birth and seized the sources to empower ourselves until all sources were exhausted.

Subsequently, life in the universe emerged, and the first batch of intelligent beings was born on the planet Maltus. Without the gods' knowledge, they researched emotional energy and bestowed various ring abilities under the guise of the Seven Corps, appearing in the universe.

At that time, after the gods had depleted all sources in the universe, they began to seize control of the universe's authority.

The second cosmic war, also known as the gods' struggle for control, led to a large-scale cosmic war.

Many life-bearing planets in the universe began to emerge on a cosmic scale.

Apokolips.

New Genesis.

They are also gods, but the ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid, disdains seizing authority.

In the eyes of the New Genesis' Highfather, Darkseid is the only enemy.

The second struggle for authority among the gods lasted for a long time. During this period, many life-bearing planets grew one by one and were no longer subject to the gods' tyranny.

During one accidental spread of faith by the gods, it spread to your Krypton..."

Athena spoke slowly, and as she finished, she couldn't help but glance at H'el, who was staring at her.

H'el's brows furrowed slightly.

The third cosmic war was related to Krypton?

There are no official records of Krypton participating in cosmic wars.

However, the mythical legends of Krypton are terrifying and exaggerated, depicting it as directly engaging in universal battles.

It is clear that Krypton seems unwilling to let the true history be recorded, erasing all traces of it and leaving only legends and myths.

Athena glanced at H'el and continued:

"And thus, the third cosmic war began."

Originally, it was just a battle between certain pantheons and Krypton, but as the fighting escalated, Krypton directly used stellar weapons to break through the divine realm of the gods, launching a destructive annihilation into the gods' territory, which ignited the fury of the gods.

All the gods began to unite and wage war against Krypton, but to their astonishment, they couldn't defeat Krypton.

Seeing too many planetary lives affected by the battles between the gods and Krypton, the Seven Corps, under the principle of maintaining universal peace, intervened in the conflict between the gods and Krypton.

In an instant, Krypton faced the two major forces in the universe and began an endless clash against the gods and the Corps.

Most of the gods were directly killed by Krypton, and the Seven Corps was reduced to only the Green Lantern Corps. At that time, Krypton became famous throughout the universe, spreading fear across the cosmos.

Your battle had such far-reaching consequences that it led to the formation of the third cosmic war, where almost all forces in the universe were opposed to Krypton."

H'el nodded subtly.

He hadn't expected that the legends on Krypton were all true, that the terrifying wars had actually happened and had been passed down as mythical legends.

At that time, Krypton should have been at its most glorious.

So... the creation of the Doomsday, the ultimate weapon, was also true?

"In this battle, the most devastated should have been New Genesis and Apokolips, especially Darkseid, who was at the forefront from the beginning. New Genesis was shattered by Krypton, chased to the desolate corners of the universe, and almost destroyed, forcing Highfather to hide New Genesis.

Darkseid's Apokolips was repeatedly broken, patched up, and now his Apokolips constantly spews magma, creating an environment more dreadful than a hell, all thanks to Kryptonians.

The breadth of this third cosmic war and its duration is already ten times that of the first and second cosmic wars, involving all civilizations in the entire universe. Any interstellar civilization that ventured beyond their planets was drawn into the conflict.

Until later stages, Krypton and the combined forces of the universe were deadlocked. Krypton developed the ultimate weapon, the Doomsday, intending to deploy it into the battlefield to end the universal war once and for all.

The Doomsday could not control the gravitational force of its stellar-level magnetic field. Wherever it went, it unconsciously formed a distorted gravitational force with itself as the center, akin to a black hole, absorbing high-energy particles and endlessly increasing its strength with shattered matter.

It was a moving cataclysm, its power growing without limits, inevitably leading to the universe's collapse.

All cosmic powers feared the destructive power of the Doomsday and were unwilling to allow Krypton to mass-produce this ultimate biological weapon.

In the end, regardless of the sacrifices, the entire universe's forces relentlessly besieged Krypton, continuously attacking until Krypton had no breathing space left, ending this third cosmic war.

After the battle, we, the gods, along with the cosmic guardians, killed other severely injured and sleeping gods, consolidating power until now, all in a state of adaptation during slumber.

As for the authority, even if..."

"What happened to the Doomsday in the end?"

H'el's gaze flickered with dangerous intent; now he no longer cared about the fate of the gods.

The Doomsday, which had been without any information or trace, was finally mentioned by Athena. The fate of the gods no longer mattered; they no longer had Doomsday to worry about.

Athena paused for a moment, coldly noting the dangerous look in H'el's eyes, and continued, "Over millions of years, the entire universe's technology and powerful beings gradually wore it down into a piece of flesh as it seemed indestructible."

"Where is this flesh?"

H'el raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

Such a powerful Doomsday had been worn down to just a piece of flesh.

"I don't know. Its location was decided upon by Zeus and the cosmic guardians," Athena replied.

H'el remained expressionless, scanning Athena's face. His telepathic abilities confirmed that she wasn't lying. He waved her off, saying, "You should hide for now. A cosmic guardian is coming."
