The Birth of the Justice League

"You don't know what treasures this primitive planet holds.

The Mother Box sent a message: Krypton's highest technological achievements have fallen to this planet."

Kalibak was Darkseid's eldest son, but the Dark Lord didn't like him. He even forbade him from calling him father, having once killed him briefly for attacking his brothers without the Dark Lord's permission.

He had always wanted to achieve something to gain the Dark Lord's favor.

"The World Engine, which can freely modify a planet's environment.

And the Codex, containing the genes of billions of Kryptonians, placed within the last Kryptonian alive!"

The Mother Box also possessed the ability to alter planetary environments. However, rather than modification, it was closer to destruction, making the environment so hostile that no creature other than Apokolips' biological weapons, Parademons, could survive freely.

This allowed for the fastest conquest but consumed the potential for future growth after conquering the world.

"My father, hasn't he always wanted a Parademon army composed of Kryptonians?"

Kalibak's rough voice was filled with excitement.

"I will conquer this planet and help him achieve his wish!"

The power possessed by Krypton at its peak was feared by all, even the Dark Lord. If he could have an army of Kryptonians, devoid of thought and fear, at his command, conquering the universe would be as easy as turning his hand.

"Kryptonians?

There are still Kryptonians in the universe, on this planet?"

DeSaad's expression changed. He turned to the other figure among the three. The New God Kanto stood with his arms crossed, his eyes flashing with cold cruelty. He remained silent, appearing like some inhuman creature, or perhaps a deadly god of death, with life itself merely waiting to be harvested before him.

"So you brought His Majesty's most powerful warrior, intending to help you defeat the Kryptonians?"

Kanto was an energy vampire, feeding on energy, possessing immense power to absorb and manipulate it. He usually hibernated in recharge chambers and rarely ventured out, generally not being part of Apokolips' standing forces.

"Where His Majesty's gaze falls, there lies my honor," he said coldly.

"On this planet, besides the Kryptonians, there are unknown life forms, but that's not important!"

Kalibak's expression was ferocious as he clenched his fist, like a beast forced to gorge on fresh blood.

"All enemies that stand in my way will be torn asunder!"

"If you can accomplish this, I believe His Majesty will be very pleased."

DeSaad nodded, turning back to Steppenwolf, his voice laced with coldness.

"Mighty Steppenwolf, you could have served by His Majesty's side like us, but you betrayed him, you betrayed your family."

Apokolips' original ruler was Darkseid's father, Uxas. Steppenwolf was the brother of Hegra, Uxas' wife, meaning he was Darkseid's uncle.

"I know the mistakes I've made, but I have also eliminated those who coveted his throne."

Steppenwolf said solemnly.

Uxas became obsessed with the secrets of the Source Wall and was eventually trapped there. After that, Apokolips was governed by Queen Hegra. Following Darkseid's command for Desaad to parricide and usurp the throne, Steppenwolf did not support his own sister but became Darkseid's subordinate, clearing obstacles for him and commanding all of Apokolips' Parademon armies.

However, he later harbored disloyalty.

"I don't wish to discuss matters that His Majesty has already decided.

You still owe His Majesty five thousand worlds.

Only upon completion will His Majesty end your exile and allow your return to Apokolips."

DeSaad pointed at him, his words leaving no room for argument.

"I will.

This world is different from the others.

If I help Kalibak take it, can I return to his throne!"

As the molten iron churned, the scent of iron and fire brought Steppenwolf an intense nostalgia for his homeland.

"Let's discuss that after we've taken this world."

DeSaad said his final words and ended the communication.

"Now we need the remaining two Mother Boxes!" Kalibak turned around.

"The fusion of three Mother Boxes will grant us the power to cleanse this planet's surface. Then we won't have to do anything.

First, let's summon the army!"

A sufficient number of Parademon armies could provide them with a certain level of assistance.

BZZT!

Amidst the roaring sound, the Mother Box opened a wormhole to the far reaches of the universe, and a surging tide of Parademons poured through the portal, hundreds of thousands, millions, perhaps even tens of millions, as if they were limitless!

Apokolips transformed the surviving intelligent life forms of conquered worlds into Parademons.

While Parademons were not particularly strong among cosmic races, what made the universe tremble was their endless numbers and sheer scale.

...

"Are you one of the legendary Amazons?

"Amazon Princess?"

In a temporary base provided by Batman, Flash looked at Diana, listening to her introduction, and felt like he was listening to a fairy tale, his mouth agape in surprise.

"So, those gods also exist for real?"

Batman's eyes also showed undisguised shock.

What other terrifying things were hidden in this world?

First metahumans, then alien civilizations, and now gods?

"The gods are real.

They have just departed.

I only met Ares, the God of War, in person."

Diana glanced at David, who had a calm expression.

"The Transcendent and I fought Ares together. He was instigating a war between two countries at the time, and the Transcendent killed him."

"Ares was killed by the Transcendent?"

Everyone was speechless with shock. The gods of ancient legends were killed by the Transcendent?

However, if it was the unfathomably powerful man before them, it didn't seem so outrageous.

"You never told me about this."

Clark exclaimed, patting David's shoulder, feeling a little pleased.

Hearing this, he thought David had gone to kill Ares because he heard Ares was instigating a war between two countries.

When his brother wasn't around, was he doing similar things, but he just never mentioned it?

"Is it really the end of the world?

I have my doubts, you guys are talking about irrelevant things."

The tall man in the scaled armor, with his hair loose and a large beard, his mighty physique seemingly containing the power to resist the ocean, was Arthur, whom Batman had found. He took a swig of wine, speaking with a carefree, rebellious swagger.

David glanced at him.

The son of the Late Queen of Atlantis, the future founding member of the Justice League, Aquaman.

However, with his interference, he wondered if his future superhero title would still be Aquaman, or if he would revert to the original title, Merman.

Arthur also secretly glanced at David.

His mentor, Vico, had visited him frequently recently, saying it was the best opportunity for him to ascend to the throne. An outsider had killed Orm and seized the throne of Atlantis.

But he had no interest in the throne of Atlantis, especially after hearing Vico's description and realizing that the one who seized the throne of Atlantis was the Transcendent.

"We are about to face a powerful enemy from the universe.

Before the battle, it is essential to understand the abilities of the comrades who will be fighting alongside us."

Batman said solemnly.

He just hadn't expected that a simple introduction by the woman brought by the Transcendent would lead to the astonishing revelation that gods truly existed.

"Flash and I raced through cities across the globe in half an hour, eliminating all the Parademons outside."

Clark looked at Flash, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This man's speed was slightly faster than his own.

"I ran, and you flew."

Flash shrugged, his tone a mix of helplessness and a little envy.

During the process of eliminating Parademons, he had to climb mountains and cross ridges, and when he looked up, a blue and red figure had easily flown past.

"You eliminated over eighty percent of the Parademons. You could have handled it alone without me."

The Parademons were all in the sky, not easy for him to reach.

"The sooner those monsters are dealt with, the more people will be saved."

Clark replied.

"We've done what we could.

Now we just need to find where that group is hiding."

While Clark and Flash were racing around the globe to eliminate Parademons, David was responsible for Smallville and several cities around Metropolis. A gravity field swept across the city skies, eliminating those Parademons. He looked at Cyborg, who was closing his eyes and searching for global signals, his eyes flashing.

"The Parademon army that blots out the sky cannot hide near inhabited areas. You should search the forbidden zones that humans cannot access, such as the Sahara Desert or areas with nuclear leaks.

The technology in your body originates from the Mother Box.

When they activated the Mother Box, there would have been a surge of energy in that region. You possess the same unique energy, making it easy for you to identify it."

He knew the approximate location of Steppenwolf and the others, but he couldn't reveal it directly, so he could only guide.

Cyborg, who had been desperately trying to locate Kalibak and the others but couldn't find them and was becoming impatient, moving the holographic projection of Earth around, brightened upon hearing this. He found his direction, closed his eyes, and focused his search on human forbidden zones.

Finally, after checking one by one, he opened his eyes after a few seconds, his voice filled with excitement.

"Found it! It's in Chernobyl!"

"They really know how to pick a spot," Batman's brow furrowed.

Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the site of the most severe nuclear accident in human history. The nearby city was abandoned because of it, becoming a famous exclusion zone where humans could not tread.

"My metabolism is far beyond that of ordinary people, possessing an almost rapid healing ability.

I wonder if I can withstand the residual nuclear radiation there," Flash's face contorted with worry. Aside from his speed, his physical condition was much like that of an ordinary human.

Hal Jordan was unconcerned.

He had the Green Lantern Ring protecting him, so space, deep sea, or even the molten core of the earth were no problem. A little nuclear radiation was nothing.

"Why are you still frowning?"

Hal Jordan looked at Batman, tilting his head in confusion.

"Speaking of which, what are your superpowers?"

He recalled Batman's performance earlier.

"No super strength, no super speed, and you can't fly.

Wait a minute, you're not just some normal person in a bat suit, are you?"

His eyes widened in shock, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.

Someone with no superpowers dared to engage in dangerous activities like fighting crime? Usually, he didn't see him flying around the city in that mech, which he used to save the world alongside the Transcendent.

"It looks like I'll need to pilot the Fenrir Mech,"

Batman mused.

"What else?"

Seeing Batman actually default, Hal Jordan quickly hid his surprised expression, not wanting to appear overly astonished, and put on a calm front.

"You want to face alien weapon laser cannons in that suit of yours, which is barely bulletproof?"

"Everyone, get ready to move out,"

Clark's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "Annihilate all the alien invaders who have infiltrated our world!"

As he and Flash cleared the Parademons from the world, he saw that many people across the globe had already been harmed by them.

Aside from Diana, who followed David, everyone instinctively had no objection to him taking the lead.

Among those present, the Transcendent was the most powerful superhero. However, everyone could see that he seemed uninterested in leading this hastily assembled group, only appearing to save the world.

...

The sun had set, and the lead-grey clouds covered the sky, allowing not even a sliver of moonlight to penetrate.

For a hundred miles around the silent, ghost-town-like Chernobyl, a massive cocoon-shaped protective shield pulsed with a dangerous orange glow, illuminating the sky like an apocalyptic twilight.

Inside the shield, countless Parademons swarmed the sky, numbering in the tens of millions.

Others continuously emerged from massive sonic tunnels, a hundred meters in diameter, like demons flying from their nests.

"Someone's here."

Kanto, a New God, who had been leaning against a nearby wall with his eyes closed, opened them and suddenly looked towards the sky outside the shield.

"I sense several powerful presences."

"Oh?"

Another battle was about to begin. Kalibak's beast-like face broke into an excited, cruel grin. He gripped a metal club as thick as an adult's thigh, which rippled with transparent energy, emitting a terrifying aura of danger.

This was his weapon. What appeared to be a primitive club was actually imbued with incredible technology, known as the Beta-Club. It was nigh-indestructible and could fire immensely powerful neural laser beams, inflicting excruciating pain upon its targets.

"Let us go deal with them!"

Steppenwolf's silver battle-axe flared with golden lightning. He was eager to conquer this world and earn the Dark Lord's forgiveness.

BZZZT!

Two attacks, one purple and one red, sliced through the massive shield, which appeared to be made of flesh and membrane, without any obstruction.

Several figures appeared in the sky.

"Deal with them!"

David stood at the forefront, with Clark beside him. Also present were the Green Lantern, radiating a green glow, Batman piloting his mech, and Wonder Woman, who swung through the air using clouds bound by the Lasso of Truth. They all flew towards the towering structure, erected from a terrain reshaped by a Mother Box, with imposing auras.

"It's good to be able to fly,"

Barry Allen, his body crackling with blue lightning, appeared as he emerged from a gap in the torn shield. He muttered, stepping on a hundred Parademons, instantly turning them to dust.

On the other side, Arthur leaped from a tall building, crushing a Parademon beneath his foot and turning it to dust. He swept his trident, killing a cluster of Parademons, and shook his long hair.

"I hope your attacks are as numerous as your words.

I can't handle this many Parademons. This isn't my turf."

BZZZZZZT!

David's entire body radiated purple cosmic energy, resembling a humanoid celestial body. He emitted a powerful repulsive force, and the Parademons that surged towards him like waves were scattered and turned to ash. The others followed him, charging towards the tower.

"Descendants of Old Gods, Kryptonians, Green Lanterns, powerful unknown races... This tiny planet has gathered some incredible powers."

The three figures from Apokolips, radiating a sharp aura, emerged onto the balcony of the high tower. Kanto crossed his arms, his gaze sweeping over the group, and let out a sneer.

"You look like the leader. Do the natives of this planet call you Transcendent?"

Kalibak, who had already learned about this backward world through the Mother Box, grinned ferociously. Gripping his Beta-Club, he cracked the ground beneath him and shot forward like a cannonball, his massive body carrying an unparalleled savage aura as he charged at David, who was at the front.

"I wonder how many hits your head can take from me!"

I'm having a bit of writer's block, and I've written a few hundred extra words, so I'm a bit late. My apologies.
