At this mont, the battlefield of Apokolips was as silent as Death, and everyone stared blankly at the Void Realm.
Zod was seen holding a mutilated corpse in one hand, while the other hand gripped Ares, the God of War, who had just been spouting nonsense.
Although the tattered corpse had shed its iconic rocky skin due to the disappearance of the Oga Effect, the aura emanating from it clearly told everyone present his identity.
"Da... Darkseid!"
"Impossible, how could a re Kryptonian defeat the great Darkseid."
"No, my master is the strongest New God, he cannot be defeated!"
The many New Gods of Apokolips found it utterly unbelievable. He was the most powerful being in their hearts, the Dark Tyrant who had destroyed countless worlds.
Now he was dead just like that. They wanted to tell themselves it was false, but they couldn't convince themselves.
Because they knew very well in their hearts that the battle between Zod and Darkseid was a fight to the Death, and it was impossible for it to stop before either party died.
At this mont, the sky of the Apokolips New Gods collapsed, and the fighting will of most of them almost disintegrated instantly.
Ares, whose neck was clutched by Zod, also dared not even breathe at this mont. He could clearly feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from Zod.
Perhaps if he moved even slightly, the large hand gripping his throat would instantly crush his neck.
At this mont, Ares's heart was filled with unwillingness and rage.
When he sensed the prelude to this war, he felt that this war would allow him to completely eliminate the remnants of the Old Gods and beco the sole Eternal God King.
He quietly hid in the shadows of this war, drawing power, waiting for his Divine Power to Breakthrough to an unprecedented height.
Originally, everything was developing as he had anticipated, and he had indeed gained a powerful Divine Power that surpassed his past, but Zod had completely exceeded his expectations.
Although he had always known Zod was strong, he never expected him to be so strong that, even after defeating Darkseid, he still seed to possess the power to easily suppress him.
Ares's eyes seed to be spitting fire at this mont, and then he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Why do you possess such imnse power?"
"Because I am the destiny of this Universe!"
"Now, kneel and pledge allegiance to . This is your only chance to survive!"
Zod's indifferent tone made it seem as if the one in his hand was not a god who had drawn imnse power from war, but an ant that could be crushed at will.
Hearing this, Ares felt that the rage in his chest could no longer be suppressed.
"I am the God of War, the Dominator of countless Deaths. No one can make submit!"
Ares roared, and violent Divine Power surged around him. Countless war spirits materialized behind him, charging towards Zod.
"Hmph!"
With a soft snort, a dazzling divine brilliance of the great sun suddenly illuminated Zod's body, instantly purifying them.
Then he squeezed his hand forcefully, and the next mont, the sound of bones shattering echoed across the entire battlefield.
Ares's indestructible divine body was easily crushed in Zod's hand like fragile glass.
The mighty God of War's life force began to rapidly dissipate, and his Soul, enveloped in imnse Divine Power, tried to escape.
But a golden pillar of fire shot up into the sky, directly engulfing his Soul.
"No, I won't die. I still want to beco the Eternal God King."
"Ah!"
In the flas, Ares initially tried to resist with all his might, but soon his painful wails were heard.
That shrill sound made everyone's scalp tingle.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, as the firelight disappeared, Ares's Soul, along with his imnse Divine Power, was refined into a dark red, blood-colored crystal.
It exuded a rich aura of Divine Power, making the various main gods and demigods of Olympus look on with intense longing.
Because this was a divine spark containing the authority of war, slaughter, and rebellion. Once absorbed, one could beco a god wielding these authorities.
Zod's effortless killing of another powerful Old God left an indelible mark of terror in everyone's hearts.
At this mont, he turned around and looked down at the New Gods of Apokolips from above.
"Darkseid is dead. From this mont on, I shall beco the new lord of apokolips. My na is Zod, and Apokolips shall henceforth be under my rule!"
"Now, you may pledge allegiance to your new master!"
At this mont, Zod's words were like a heavy hamr striking the hearts of the New Gods, completely dissipating their already dwindling fighting will.
Originally, powerful New Gods like Mantis and Kanto were preparing to seize the opportunity to escape, but Zod's display thoroughly intimidated them.
At this mont, none of the surviving New Gods of Apokolips dared to utter a sound.
anwhile, the civilians of Apokolips, who had been uniformly isolated on the other side of the planet, couldn't help but cheer.
Most of them had been abducted from various planets and were truly at the bottom of society, also known as "the lowly." Even Parademons, who served as cannon fodder, held a higher status than them.
Under Darkseid's dark rule, the entirety of Apokolips was even more brutal than Hell.
Their fate was sealed from birth: endless labor, and even after Death, their bodies would be drained as bio-energy.
At this point, they didn't care what fate awaited them under Zod's rule, as long as it wasn't Darkseid.
Therefore, they chanted Zod's na in unison, and countless Power Of Faith began to gather.
"No, I have only one master, and that is the great Darkseid."
In such a scene, surprisingly, soone stood up to defy Zod, and this courageous individual was Danny.
Not to ntion Zod, even the other New Gods of Apokolips found his actions incomprehensible.
After all, they had been old colleagues for twenty to thirty thousand years, so they naturally understood Danny's past.
This fellow was not an original inhabitant of Apokolips; he was a New God born on New Genesis, who later joined Apokolips after being corrupted and fallen by Darkseid's will.
Moreover, he had been killed and resurrected by Darkseid's Oga Beams countless tis.
The tornt of that pain had completely broken even Steppenwolf after only a few experiences.
But this fellow could still maintain such absolute loyalty to Darkseid, which was sothing no one had expected.
"Hmph! Daring to defy the General's will is courting Death."
At this mont, Fiora swiftly flew in front of Danny, her eyes glowing with brilliant red light, and with a single strike, she incinerated Danny's brain into nothingness.
As Danny, a New God, died, the Source within him began to dissipate. Zod initially wanted to forcibly collect it, but then he discovered a stronger force pulling these Sources.
"The Source Wall!"
In an instant, Zod realized what was happening and then let go, allowing it to dissipate.
