Chapter 839: Wager (First Update)

"Wait!"

Sure enough, upon hearing the news about the Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid immediately changed his indifferent attitude. He opened his eyes and stretched out a hand to stop his subordinate from continuing the attack.

"You say you know the location of the Anti-Life Equation?"

"Yes, as a mage, I often travel through various different universes. During one of my travels, I discovered the legendary Anti-Life Equation on a planet in a certain universe. It was inscribed on the surface of that planet.

I heard that Lord Darkseid is searching for the Anti-Life Equation, so I came today to report this to you."

Jerry's lies flowed effortlessly from his mouth.

Darkseid glared at Jerry.

"Which universe? Which planet?"

At Darkseid's level of power, he was well aware of the existence of numerous beings in the multiverse who were either on par with or even stronger than him, such as the Watchers and gods from higher dimensions.

To achieve his ambition of unifying all universes, the power of the Omega Effect alone was far from enough. He also needed to master the power of the Anti-Life Equation.

"Cough, cough. Well, my memory isn't the best, and I can't quite recall it right now. Of course, if Lord Darkseid is willing to make a small wager with me, I will remember immediately."

Jerry coughed a couple of times, deliberately leaving a suspenseful pause. Seeing Darkseid about to lose control, he then revealed his true intentions.

"You think you have the nerve to make demands of me?"

Darkseid rose from his floating throne, and his overwhelming aura instantly enveloped Jerry and the others.

Jerry feigned a step back, his voice trembling slightly.

"Lord Darkseid, if you were to act, we would all be no match for you. However, as a mage, I can shatter my soul before you act, rendering the location of the Anti-Life Equation forever lost to you, even if you kill us all."

Indeed, upon hearing Jerry's words, Darkseid's body froze, and he sat back down.

"Tell me, what is your wager?"

Although he was confident he could subdue Jerry before he could shatter his soul, he didn't want to take any risks. The Anti-Life Equation was too important to him.

Seeing Darkseid's reaction, Jerry knew he had succeeded. He slowly smiled and said:

"It's quite simple. The strongest heroes from Earth are here today, and we want to challenge the elites among your subordinates to a wager.

If we win, we ask that you spare our universe and our Earth. If we lose, we will willingly surrender the location of the Anti-Life Equation to you and pledge our loyalty."

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!"

Before Darkseid could respond, his subordinates burst into laughter, as if Jerry were telling an utterly absurd joke.

These few individuals dared to challenge the most elite and powerful warriors from ten thousand universes. It was sheer folly.

"Although your proposal amuses me, I will give you this chance."

Darkseid tapped his thick fingers on the throne a few times and then nodded coldly.

He believed these few individuals stood no chance against his subordinates. If, by some unlikely chance, they managed to win, it would only mean his subordinates were weak and deserved to die.

Darkseid's logic was simple: if his subordinates won, they would obtain the location of the Anti-Life Equation, kill the opposition, and destroy their universe.

If his own subordinates lost, he would forcefully obtain the Anti-Life Equation and transform the opponents into his new, more powerful subordinates. Then, he would send them to destroy their own universe.

Regardless of whether he won or lost, he would definitely get the Anti-Life Equation. It would also serve as a way to alleviate boredom, so he agreed.

Of course, he wasn't foolish and knew that the purpose of the bet was not as simple as they claimed. But what did it matter? In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were useless.

No matter what schemes they had, he was absolutely confident that his strength could easily handle them.

"Grail, that useless thing, actually lost to you, a bunch of low-level scum. She has disgraced the Dark Elite!"

As soon as the bet began, an Alien who looked about 60% similar to Grail flew out from behind Darkseid. It was Gefrey, Grail's brother, whose Mind Control abilities far surpassed hers.

"General Swanwick!"

Jerry looked at the Martian Manhunter again, who immediately stepped forward without hesitation.

There was no unnecessary talk; the two immediately engaged in battle in the air.

Gefrey was clearly much stronger than Grail. First, his Mind Control abilities were so powerful that even the Martian Manhunter, who had an extremely strong resistance to mental attacks, struggled to withstand it and had to occasionally pause to clear his mind.

This was completely different from when he faced Grail, where he didn't feel a thing.

Secondly, Gefrey could use his powerful mental energy to levitate and move, create mental barriers, and even form mental weapons to attack.

Moreover, his physical strength was not weak, though it didn't match the Martian Manhunter's, it was not entirely overpowered.

After a few exchanges, the Martian Manhunter found himself at a disadvantage due to the frequent pauses.

If not for his robust body and the ability to phase and counterattack with eye beams, he might not have lasted much longer.

"Stop, we concede the first round!"

Halfway through the battle, Jerry, seeing that the two were not reaching a conclusion, declared their defeat.

The rules of this bet were that each side would send out eight people, two at a time. The loser would step down, and the winner would continue until one side was completely defeated.

"Conceding so quickly?"

Darkseid looked at Jerry, his eyes showing surprise.

Jerry waved for the Martian Manhunter to step down and flew up himself.

"Ah, he's quite old, and I'm afraid his body won't hold up if he continues. I'm younger, so I'll take over."

The Martian Manhunter and Gefrey, at this rate, might not decide a winner for a long time. Jerry feared that something might go wrong if the fight dragged on.

The Martian Manhunter, who had just landed next to Superman, raised an eyebrow but did not object due to the plan they had agreed upon.

He was indeed quite old, but he believed that Jerry, this mysterious Mage, must be even older, just looking young on the surface.

"There's no need to come one at a time. You can all come together."

Seeing the Martian Manhunter step down and Jerry, the Mage, take his place, Gefrey sneered.

He was best at crowd control. The Martian Manhunter could resist his mental abilities, but if others joined, they would be enslaved in one move, increasing his strength.
