Chapter 841: Billion Kryptonian Legion vs. Trillion Apokoliptian Legion (1st Update)
Chapter 841: Billion Kryptonian Legion vs. Trillion Apokoliptian Legion (1st Update)
"Thunderstrike · Ten Thousand Thunders!"
Tens of thousands of terrifying bolts of lightning, carrying the aura of destruction, descended from the sky, reducing a hundred-meter-tall green Giant, holding a blazing Flame Staff, to ashes.
This green Giant was named Titan, a Titan Giant Mage who possessed physical strength surpassing that of Kryptonians and was proficient in powerful Flame Magic. He was the eighth dark elite in this wager.
"Lord Darkseid, it seems we have won this wager."
With a wave of his hand, Jerry created a gust of wind that scattered the charred remains of the Titan Mage. He then turned to Darkseid, his demeanor suddenly changing. The cautious and guarded facade he had maintained vanished completely.
Having taken out eight opponents, Darkseid’s subordinates were now almost entirely annihilated, with only Desaad, the strategist, remaining. Desaad was not known for his combat prowess; he was more of a scientist and strategist, skilled in various biological modifications. The Kryptonian Parademons were his creations.
Desaad posed no significant threat to Kryptonians, so Jerry no longer needed to conceal his true strength.
In fact, Jerry hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. He thought Darkseid would have noticed something amiss and intervened by the time he had killed half of the opponents. However, Darkseid had remained passive throughout.
"Yes, you have won. Very well, very impressive. I didn’t expect someone like you to emerge from Earth. To be honest, I admire you. I must also inform you that the Anti-Life Equation is my ultimate goal. Regardless of the outcome of this wager, you must tell me the location of the Anti-Life Equation.
However, if you are willing to join me, I can, in your honor, spare your companions and the universe you come from. You will be second only to me, and you will have the same status as Desaad, answerable only to my commands.
Do not threaten me with soul destruction. Even if you were to truly destroy your soul, I would still not spare your companions and your universe. I have ways to extract what I need from the scattered remnants of your soul."
Darkseid rose from his throne, his hands behind his back, and flew in front of Jerry, his face filled with admiration.
In the eight battles, Darkseid had seen numerous strengths in Jerry: a powerful body, extraordinary magical abilities, and a plethora of diverse skills. Jerry possessed almost all the abilities that his eight fallen subordinates had.
If Jerry were to join him, Darkseid would gain a formidable ally. This was why he had remained passive even as the dark elites were killed one by one.
Eight failures were expendable, but Jerry, a true talent, he had to bring under his command.
Hearing Darkseid’s words, Jerry was momentarily taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Darkseid to have such a broad-minded approach. Earth, a place of humiliation for Darkseid in his youth, was being spared for his sake, and he was being offered a position as second-in-command.
It was clear that Darkseid’s ability to rule Apokolips and destroy ten thousand universes wasn’t solely due to the Omega Effect; his personal charisma played a significant role.
If Jerry were merely a powerful mage, he might have agreed to protect his universe.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. His primary goal was Darkseid himself and the Apokoliptian Legion that had destroyed ten thousand universes.
"Sorry, but I decline!"
Jerry smiled faintly.
Darkseid's expression changed, and then a cold laugh escaped his lips as he flew back to his throne and sat down.
"Let's see how long you can hold out."
With a wave of his hand, the billions of troops that had gathered behind him, carrying the terrifying momentum of sweeping through ten thousand universes, began to advance step by step toward Jerry and his companions.
Darkseid wanted Jerry to feel despair. If he didn't submit, Darkseid would wear down his magic power and mental strength until he was almost at the brink, then move in to subdue him, preventing him from self-destructing.
"You have a lot of people, but fortunately, I have plenty too!"
Looking at the densely packed, endless army, Jerry feigned wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Then, with a wave of his hand, he released the billion Kryptonians from the Bell Universe, who were fully prepared for battle.
Although not all of the billion Kryptonians were warriors, even the least combat-capable researchers had bodies that were indestructible, far beyond what ordinary beings could match.
"General Zod, take care of those cannon fodder up front!"
"Don't worry, my billion citizens have all absorbed solar energy and won't let you down."
General Zod waved his hand and personally led the billion Kryptonians, clad in Kryptonian Battle Suits and wielding advanced Kryptonian weapons, charging forward like meteors toward the billions of universe troops.
Seeing the sudden appearance of a billion Kryptonians, Darkseid's eyes widened, and he stood up from his throne once again.
He was well aware of the Kryptonians' power. During his conquest of ten thousand universes, he had fought many Kryptonians, but most Kryptonian civilizations had been destroyed, leaving only a few survivors.
Even those few Kryptonians often caused significant damage to the conquering armies, and it usually took the intervention of dark elites to resolve the situation.
Now, to suddenly see a billion Kryptonians emerge, how could he not be surprised?
But then he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Very well, Jerry. I didn't expect you to send me an entire Kryptonian Legion. Excellent, very excellent."
A billion Kryptonians were indeed formidable. Even his billion-strong universe army might not be a match. But it wasn't just the billion-strong army; there was also himself.
As the strongest New God, with the Omega Effect, his power far exceeded that of all his subordinates.
As long as he personally joined the battle, along with his billion-strong army, defeating a billion Kryptonians wouldn't be too difficult. Then, Desaad could use the billion Kryptonian corpses to create a billion Kryptonian Parademons.
He would then have the strongest Kryptonian Parademon army.
How could this not make him happy?
"Darkseid, it seems you're very confident!"
Hearing Darkseid's words, Jerry couldn't help but understand his thoughts.
"You go deal with Desaad to prevent him from causing any trouble. Darkseid is mine."
Jerry instructed Superman and the others, then teleported to block Darkseid, who was about to join the battle.
"Lord Darkseid, why don't we have a friendly sparring match?"
"Jerry, move aside. I'm very grateful for the Kryptonian army you've sent me, but if you don't listen, don't blame me for destroying you personally!"
Darkseid, with his hands behind his back, warned Jerry in a domineering tone.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to kill Jerry, a rare talent.
"Let's see if you can make me."
Jerry's lips curled into a slight smile.
