Chapter 117: The Heroes

[3rd POV]

Upon hearing her words, the group all looked at her in confusion, while Constantine looked at her in evident fear.

"What? No hello? I know that I appeared out of nowhere, but you could at least say hello" Lucifer said with an amused smirk on her face, looking over the group. There was the Martian, the Kryptonians, the Speedster, and the most important of them all, The Monitor.

"So, Mia Queen. You ripped the summoning slip that I had given little Samael. I can only assume that you need my aid?" Lucifer said, sitting on the chair she conjured as she looked at the confused teen.

"You-but I thought-" "What? That Samael was me? Nah, he took the name Lucifer. He's but a single Samael out of many. But I, I am the real Lucifer, the first of them all. The First Star, as my father has dubbed me in the past" Lucifer cut her off, waving off the notion, as she didn't really care about hiding what she was, not anymore.

"The multiverse is large, but it is only one of an infinite amount of multiverses that makes up the omniverse. Then an infinite amount of them make up whatever is larger than that, and so on, so forth" Lucifer added, sensing their confusion in regard to what she had said.

"You-what are you?" Hearing the voice, Lucifer turned, a chuckle escaping her lips upon gazing at the Monitor.

"Ah, Mar Novu! The Monitor, Maltusian Scientist, and the one who started this little crisis, albeit because of a rather ignorant act of yours" Lucifer said, looking at the man with a smile which unnerved him, as she glanced over him.

"As for your question, I am me, that is all. It's hard to really articulate what I am nowadays, so I'm Lucifer, and that's all. Now, what is it you've summoned me for, Queen?" Lucifer asked, as she looked to Mia, who felt the stares of everyone.

"I-I want you to bring my dad back!"

"No can do" Lucifer replied, shaking her head at the ask. She would have brought him back if she could, but his destiny now was incredibly important to the greater Multiverse, the Spectre being one of the most important forces.

"Wha-but Luci-Samael said that you could help me! That by summoning you, by ripping that paper, I would get the help that I need to bring my dad back!" Mia exclaimed, rage clear in her tone and on her face as Lucifer sighed.

"Your father has been chosen, Mia. He is now a part of something much larger, and much more important, a decision that he himself made. It is not something I can change, for it was his choice" Lucifer responded, feeling bad for the child, but she knew that nothing she did would be able to bring the man back, for he was now a part of something more.

"Something more? What does that even mean?" Sara Lance asked at the side, still tense as she stared at Lucifer.

"It means that he is now my agent" Lucifer replied, as even now she could feel the man, her Vengeance. Gods Vengeance.

"Your agent? You mean you're the one who gave him that offer? That made him into-into whatever he is becoming?" Diggle asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"I did not make him into anything, John Diggle. He chose that of his own free will. Something my predecessor made sure that all sentient beings have. He is the physical embodiment of the Vengeance of God, made to keep the balance throughout the multiverse. A higher being that is instrumental to the greater Multiverse, and is not something I can just "Change". Believe me, I would if I could, but Oliver Queen has made his choice, and you must all live with it" Lucifer replied, as more and more confusion entered the hearts of those in the area.

"What do you mean "My Predecessor"? You were talking about free will, but the only one who could have given us that is-" Cisco trailed off upon seeing the small smile on Lucifer's face, as he breathed out.

"You-you're God?" Cisco asked, as everyone went deadly still, Lucifer humming at the question.

"Not exactly. I am the God of this Multiverse, yes. But I am not "The God" that is my father. I am but the one who took the throne from the previous God of this Multiverse, a Kind old man who has retired and rescinded his power over this place to me" Lucifer explained, seeing no reason to hide it. None of them could do anything to her, so it mattered little to her.

"So you're telling me-us, that you are the current God? That you rule over all of the Multiverse, and that...you are just letting this happen? Letting the Anti-Monitor wipe out everything?" Kara, aka Supergirl asked with a growing frown.

"It is for the betterment of the multiverse, Miss Danvers"

"How? How can this possibly be for the betterment of the multiverse, when he is ending the multiverse?!" Sara yelled, as Lucifer raised an eyebrow.

"Whoever said he was ending the multiverse? Whoever said that all those universes destroyed, and their residents, are dead? You all are assuming a lot, without knowledge on what it is that is occurring" Lucifer replied, as Brainy, who had returned to the Bridge, looked at her in confusion.

"The universes are being destroyed, though? Nothing can survive the anti-matter wave, and nobody on those universes could possibly have the power to resist such a thing. It is simply impossible" Brainy said, as Lucifer looked to him with a small chuckle.

"Ah, Querl Dox, aka Brainiac 5. You Coluan's are quite the species. Especially you, a Twelfth level intellect. Nothing to underestimate, to be certain. But you also seem to believe yourself to be all knowing, when you simply are not" Lucifer said, as she glanced back to the rest of the "League".

"The universes are "Destroyed" but only for now, they cannot truly be eliminated, not when I exist. This crisis? It's a multiverse wide balancer, meant to equal out certain...factors of the multiverse. It will allow for the multiverse to evolve in...new ways, unique ways, to bring out the birth of new forces that can be used to stabilize the multiverse, and in a more...permanent manner, meaning such an event won't need to happen ever again" Lucifer explained, as it truly was meant to be an even to balance the multiverse.

But she was going to warp it a bit. To make it into something that can evolve the very multiverse, allow for it to grow, without killing untold numbers of people, a seemingly infinite amount of innocents. She would change things in the Prime universe, of course, like still merging Earth 38 into the 1st. But she will also add in some...new things, ones that would both improve the lives of those on Earth 1, and make it a little more amusing.

"...Then the Anti-Monitor? What about him?" Barry Allen asked, as she looked at him.

"He is always destined to be born due to the actions of Mar Novu. It is destined. He is an arrogant little thing that will no longer exist once this is all said and done, that much I can guarantee" Lucifer replied, as she waved off their worries regarding that being, he was of little worry to her.

"...And what now? What was the point of me summoning you if you won't help me? What is the purpose of any of this?" Mia asked, sitting down with a depressed look on her face.

"Just because I cannot give you your father back, does not mean that I cannot help you with the Anti-Monitor. There are no rules against me personally aiding in such a thing" Lucifer responded.

"You'd help us? God would help us fight against the Anti-Montitor?" Kate Kane, aka Batwoman asked incredulously.

"I won't fight him, but I will give you the tools needed to defeat him. And I will step in when the time comes. But in return, yet here are a few things I am owed" Lucifer said, causing Barry to ask the question on their minds.

"What sort of things?"

In response, Lucifer smiled, and glanced around the room, before pointing. Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, The Flash, Querl, and the Monitor.

Each of them looked at her in confusion, with the Monitor silently listening to her next words.

"One drop of blood from each of you Five, that is the payment for my help" Lucifer said, as each of the five looked at one another, with the Monitor being the first to step forward.

"...If it means the atrocities of the Anti-Monitor, that the mistake I have made can be corrected...than a drop of blood is of little consequence to me" Mar Novu said, as he cleanly cut his palm, a singular droplet of glowing blood floating to Lucifer, who smiled as she looked to the other four.

"If it means that we can stop him, then I don't care" Kara said, as the other three all walked forward.

"As much as it is...worrying that you wish for my blood, I believe it is a small sacrifice for such a thing"

"You swear that you'll help us?" Barry asked, as Lucifer nodded.

"I swear. And I do not lie" Lucifer replied, as Barry let out a small sigh.

"Then my blood is nothing"

"My blood means little in comparison to the lives of the untold billions of the multiverse. Take as much as you need, as long as it will be used to save the greater multiverse" J'onn said, as Lucifer smiled.

"Great! No need to cut yourselves, I've already taken a drop from each of you" Lucifer said, causing the four of them to blink in confusion, only to glance down at small cuts that were healing at a rapid pace, and the four droplets of blood in front of Lucifer, who looked them all over with expertly hidden glee.

Time began to slow to a crawl as they all stared at her, as she paused time, and looked to the blood.

And as the four drops of blood began to flood towards her mouth, Lucifer had only one thought on her mind.

'...Time for another powerup!'
