Reborn In DC (anti-hero) - Chapter 53

In the night sky, Grey was laughing maniacally looking down at the scatter defeated heroes on the ground. After an hour of battle, he had sealed Dr. Fate away Starve the Kryptonian of sunlight, Hawkgirl had her wings burn, eventually passing out from the pain, while Fury had become so tired under the attack of the four avatars that she could stand up and Red Tornado was taking out from a random lightning strike that damaged her system.

“You will not win” Power Girl said as she could bȧrėly stand up with burn marks all over her body, as even her suit was burned. In a flash of blue light and the sound of thunder, Grey appeared in front of her.

“You might not know this, but I could have taken any of you out.” As he looked at her smile. “Let me give you an example.” Snapping his finger a portal appeared far away as an all-green iron man Armor stepped out of it.

“You see this suit over there.” He said while pointing at it.” it’s made out of Kryptonite. So pure that just by being close to you it would have defeated you or even killed you but as you see I decided to starve you of sunlight. Anyway, I have a question for you. What do you think will happen if I don’t take over?”

“We wouldn’t be ruled by a tyrant.”

“Not exactly.” Snapping his finger the thunder rumbling and the rain suddenly stops, as a giant hologram screen appears in the sky playing a video, showing the earth half-destroyed “This is what is going to happen in a few months later, as the video speeds up. A month later Boom the Earth exploded.

But with me here it’s different: the video changed to show that the earth was healing at a speed visibly to the eyes from the scar it had suffered from the battle. “If you don’t remember I had sent my companion away and what you are seeing right now is the result of their work. What I didn’t tell you is that I plan to fix your earth but everything has a price.”

“So your price is our servitude?”

“You can say that, but with me here I guarantee that this world will be…Better.”

“You don’t have the right to…”

“And you don’t have the right to speak for everyone.” Grey then proceeds to look in the direction of the Spaceship, at the same time the hologram screen changes to show his face. “Let me present myself. My name is Grey and I come from a different…earth. Upon learning of the fate of your earth we came here to save you. As you see your heroes couldn’t do anything to save you. For example, to your knowledge, most of you die except for those that manage to make it on the ship.”

“What if I told you that I saved most of you. ” With a thought, the hologram showed Atlantis which right now was packed with people.

As you can see I can do way more and way better than any of your heroes, with me here this will never happen again. I… Oh, fuċk.” As soon as he said so he disappeared. With Grey gone the dark cloud in the sky slowly started to disappear while the transmission only showed the place, Grey had disappeared from.

Underground Cave

Right now, Gine was standing in the corner recuperating from the energy she had used on the green as healing the planet wasn’t going to be done in one try. As she was watching Lucy speaking to the parliament, Just then she saw Lucy suddenly getting up. Just when she was about to ask her what happened she felt it, her connection with Marcus getting cut.

When she saw Lucy open a portal she didn’t say anything as she walked into it, after her.

Suddenly in a wasteland, a portal opens as Grey appears in the sky, levitating. “Sign, I thought that by saving the planet I would have resolved all this. God damn it, now I have to take care of this.” As he opened his palm of his hand he created a silver coin “Back to the old coin toss.” And with that flip, the fate of this world was decided “Slaughter”. He wasn’t obligated to take care of this passively; he had nothing to gain from being gentle. But with his knowledge, he knew that fighting here is 10 times more difficult than fighting with Darkseid.

Suddenly, the ground all around him started shaking as it broke apart. All around him robots rose out of the ground and started swarming toward him. Without a second thought, his armor changed from his usual one to the WarMachine. With the boost of weaponry, Grey started a massacre, flying around destroying robots nonstop.

After around 10 minutes of fighting Marcus discovered that the robot started forming a dome around him. “Hmm, oh yeah almost forgot about this.” Flying up as his weapons were still taking them out. Reaching high enough, Grey changes his armor to an all-White one.

Putting his hands together he started gathering energy forming a white ball when it reached the limit immediately released it. In a white light, all the robots around him became ice. Reverting his armor to the normal one he kept floating in the air “Show yourself. ” he suddenly yelled.

“Intruder.” there he appears mid-air, the being behind all of this. “Why are you here without a city.”

“Maybe because there was no city.”

“No city unacceptable. Could I have miscalculated, I meant to take you just before the destruction of your world but perhaps I was off by a second.”

‘Yeah, by a second.”

“This is what my master instructed.”

“Hmm, and where is your master?”

“Away from here, leaving the decisions to me and here you are with no city and by yourself, an error.”

“…”

“I have to continue to work of my Master Brainiac.”

“About that, I have stuff to do, can I leave?”

“Know your place without me you would be dead and perhaps you arriving in this matter is a sign. Yes, it must be, the time has come to determine who will be reflected in the universe of worlds and who will perish.” With those words he releases lightning from the palm of his hand in the sky, while a tornado starts forming around them while a metallic liquid swirls around Grey, trapping him.

“Now with me trapped, I guess you are about to explain to me your plan.”

I am going to pit all of the universes against each other, each world within the multiverse in a battle to decide who deserves to live. As he said so Telos appear in the sky of every city “Citizens of my world I have brought this convergence upon you. Now is the time the hour is near judgment is here only one city shall survive, only the strong. ”
