On New Genesis, everyone initially watched the black hole created by Zod's and Darkseid's battle with bated breath.
They wanted to see if one of them would fly out.
However, in their hearts, they were frantically praying for Zod and Darkseid to perish together in that black hole.
But soon, the image displayed by the origin scepter automatically transformed, and they saw Zod holding Darkseid's corpse, declaring himself the new ruler of Apokolips.
The stunned New Gods stared blankly at this scene, some saying in disbelief,
"His Majesty Highfather, is that really Darkseid's corpse? Was he really killed by that Kryptonian General?"
Hearing this, Highfather nodded solemnly, not showing the joy one might expect at the Death of a mortal enemy.
Because everything that had just happened also exceeded his expectations; the mutually destructive outcome he had hoped for did not occur.
Originally, Apokolips alone was already formidable; now, if New Krypton were to integrate Apokolips's forces, there would be no power in the Universe capable of checking it!
"Father, what should we do now?"
At this moment, Orion suddenly asked. Regarding Darkseid's Death, as his biological son, he felt not a trace of sadness.
On the contrary, he now felt a sense of relief, as if at this moment he had truly shed the heavy shackles he had carried in his heart.
Although he had lived on New Genesis for nearly ten thousand years, he always felt that he could never fully integrate into this environment.
The biggest issue was that the Bloodline of Apokolips's tyrant, Darkseid, flowed in his veins, and he had inherited the divine position of God of Violence.
Now that Darkseid was dead, he felt that he had completely severed that connection with Apokolips; from now on, he would entirely belong to New Genesis.
His question was also what other New Gods of New Genesis were most concerned about at this moment.
Because according to Highfather's plan, they had already assembled the entire army of New Genesis when New Krypton and Apokolips officially began their battle!
Now, the question was whether they should still launch an attack in this situation.
"All actions are suspended. I need to meet this Kryptonian General before making further plans."
Highfather could not be sure of Zod's current condition, whether he was truly unharmed as he appeared, or if it was all just a facade.
He needed to have another face-to-face encounter with Zod to make an accurate judgment.
Because this decision might concern the fate of New Genesis.
If Zod was truly unharmed, then with his strength capable of killing Darkseid, killing Highfather would also not be difficult.
After all, Highfather himself was not known for his combat prowess, relying entirely on his Alpha Effect and the power of the origin scepter to barely maintain a stalemate in battles with Darkseid.
"Yes, His Majesty Highfather!"
At this moment, Orion suddenly spoke again: "Father, can I come with you?"
Hearing this, Highfather thought for a moment and still refused, as he worried that his adopted son's personality might lead to unexpected complications during the process.
The situation was urgent, so Highfather did not delay any longer. He directly used the origin scepter to open a teleportation portal and entered it alone.
As the battle of Apokolips gradually drew to a close, in a special dimensional space, a group of beings composed entirely of energy were discussing Zod.
"I sense an ambition more terrifying than Darkseid's brewing. That Kryptonian will surely plunge the entire Universe into greater chaos."
"This is what those madmen most wish to see. They will do everything they can to help him, ultimately using his hand to bring eternal chaos to the entire Universe!"
"We can no longer stop New Krypton and Zod; his power is simply too immense!"
They were a group of Lords of Order, like the Guardians of the Universe, among the first beings to be born in the Universe.
However, they were purer than the Guardians, having abandoned their material divine bodies to become pure energy forms.
Due to ideological conflicts, they had split into Lords of Order, who guarded the order of the Universe, and Lords of Chaos, who wanted to plunge the Universe into "Kali Yuga" (similar to Ragnarök).
The Lords of Order and the Lords of Chaos had been engaged in periodic wars for hundreds of millions of years.
Their wars always began with order taking the lead, then chaos rising to meet it, followed by destruction and repair, repeating in a cycle.
Now, with Darkseid's demise and Zod's rise, the balance between order and chaos in the Universe was disrupted.
Especially Zod's style of action, which they couldn't fathom, made it impossible for them to judge whether Zod would become a new order in the Universe or the greatest source of chaos.
Similarly, in another dimensional space, a group of Lords of Chaos were also discussing Zod's situation.
"I smell ambition. He will be the best pawn for us to bring chaos to this Universe."
"Not enough, he still needs a little guidance. Perhaps we can find a suitable agent to join his ranks and become that guide."
"I have a strong premonition that our war with Order, which has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, may finally reach a conclusive end!"
At this moment, Zod did not know that some individuals were secretly plotting against him, but even if he did, he would probably only feel disdain!
After all, times were different. While the Lords of Order and Lords of Chaos might have once been troublesome, with his further increase in strength, they were now merely insignificant in Zod's eyes!
On Apokolips at this moment, Zod was preparing to collect his spoils of war.
The other Kryptonian Warriors, under Hope's arrangements, began to integrate the remaining Parademons army and the entirety of Apokolips.
These biological weapons, originally deprived of free will, were an excellent source of Power Of Faith for Zod; with a little spiritual guidance, they could continuously and stably contribute Power Of Faith.
Just then, a familiar teleportation portal appeared, and Zod's eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Watching the figure emerge from the portal, Zod couldn't help but let out a cold sneer.
This time, Darkseid had gone all out, but Highfather, as Apokolips's old adversary, had made no moves. Zod knew without thinking what he was planning.
Now, with the war having just ended, Highfather appeared impatiently, practically screaming his intentions!
"Astonishing, Kryptonian General Zod, I never expected you to defeat Darkseid. You have truly eliminated a great threat to all life in the Universe."
When Highfather spoke, his entire being seemed enveloped in Holy Light, as if he truly was grateful to Zod on behalf of the billions of lives in the Universe.
However, Zod's attention at this moment was entirely focused on the scepter in Highfather's hand.
