(General POV)
Location the Void of the Forsaken, Castle Nightscream; Throne Chamber
Mao, along with Jinx, Lilithmon, Shego, Cyn, and Vector watched two addition to this relationship, a long, sea green haired, bat-wings on her head, unbelievably sexy, and sensual succubus, Morrigan Aensland, and beside her a dark red skinned, four eyed and armed alien woman, Looma Red Wind, Mao just summoned them, and made them his own in everyway.
As Morrigan continues to tease, Looma, she turned her beautiful eyes, to Mao and her fellow sister-wives, Morrigan blew kisses at her husband and sister-wives, just barely summoned, and she's already wants to seduce and sleep with her partners.
Cyn smiled but is a bit flustered, as she hid a bit behind Mao's shoulder, saying in her glitched, eldritch voice, "Fluster. Hide. Ecchi woman, not on the first night." Jinx, and Vector actually smile suggestively and all off for the idea, Shego cackled and said, "Honey, you first have to manage to last a hour with Mao, before you can have all of this." showing herself off, then she'd made arm gestures to their sisters, and finished, "And all of this too." which made Cyn, actually "eep" and say, "Shego soo daring. Peaking. You weren't so bold, with my tentacles." which earned the Absolute Solver a smack on the head, courtesy of Shego, and lastly Lilithmon, she was all for it, after all she is digimon demon lord of lust, for a reason.
These reactions made Morrigan giggle, and say, "My, my, I can't wait." while this happened, Mao took the opportunity to command his Chaos System to show him, Morrigan's status, as a transparent red screen, appeared right in front of the succubus, stating.
Name: Morrigan Aensland Race: Succubus. Gender: Female. Title: None. Rank: Queen. Powers/Abilities 1.Enhanced Demonic Physiology. 2.Demonic Energy Manipulation. 3.Demonic Energy Enhancement. 4.Succubus Charm & Natural Abilities. 5.Lilith Abilities & Experience. 6.Dark Soul Alignment. Skills 1.Expert Level: Combat Capabilities. 2.Master Level: Demonic Magical Practice. 3.Master Level: Seduction. 4.Master Level: Charm. 5.Master Level: Exotic Dancing.
Mao thought, "Yep that sounds exactly like Morrigan Aensland, and not only that she's better then the original." as he finished that though, a loud, almost boisterous laughter sounded, it came from Looma, who exclaimed that she'll love this new life, a all-powerful husband, and equally strong fellow wives, as they laughed with the tetramand princess, Mao made the system show her status.
Appearing in-between her four arms, which one her crossed over her breast, while the other pair, were resting on her waist, was the red transparent screen that read.
Name: Looma Red Wind Race: Tetramand. Gender: Female. Title: None. Rank: Queen Powers/Abilities 1.Super Physical Capabilities. 2.Enhanced Physical Strength. 3.Enhanced Physical Durability. 4.Enhance Super Jumping. Skills 1.Master Level: Brawling. 2.Master Level: Grappling. 3.Master Level: Weapon Handling. 4.Intermediate Level: Leadership. 5.Intermediate Level: Tactics.
Mao...was impressed by Looma fourth and fifth skills, that made sense, she was a warrior, and girl first, before a good leader, that episode in Omniverse that she'd had a squabble with Attea, and that weird cat-villainess that he doesn't remember at the moment, told him everything.
But still he was glad to have her, as his with his new wives and monsters, the Forsaken were more than ready to start next act, but then a new idea came to his mind, he'd wondered what happens if he'd summon a new superhero faction, outside from DC or Marvel multiverses, of course he'll keep the as original as possible, letting them loose, as consolation prize for the winner of the game.
Just imagining the heroes or villains, depending up the upcoming winners of this game, having to deal with Invincible characters, or the Boys, or Worm, or My Hero Academia, or others, and with those worlds literally turning the whole concept of good and evil on its head, regardless who wins the game, they'll be more chaos, especially when these new heroes or villains go after his Cores, for whatever reason.
He was soo happy, and excited, he manipulated the shadows to princess carry seven of wives off the ground, surprising them, and then order all minions and drones to give them some privacy...for several days, making all the girls blush, as the maid drones flew out the chamber and the minions cheered, "Go mastah!!!", as they scrambled off...let's just say, the Overlord of Evil, ain't got nothing on the Lord of the Forsaken, about rocking a castle...Mao will summon, Bendy, Scarface, and Arakune when he and his wives were finished, meanwhile back on the New Earth...
Location the New Earth
A few days have passed, since the Joker attacked Houston, resulting in millions of casualties, and untold amount of chaos, and destruction, skyrocketing the criminals points, and emboldening many criminals, and super-criminals to join in the mayhem.
But this also force the heroes to double down on crime-fighting and prevention, with many fatalities occurring across the globes of police officers, vigilantes, and civilians, crippling or straight up, killing robbers, thugs, bangers, and suspected criminals, as well as the ultra rich that avoided justice with money.
Batman, while in his sanctum of the Batcave, he was the most exhausted of all, having to revisit old cases, and proving many suspected suspects innocent or have more murders, he'd even request the Question's support, as extreme as that man can be, he is as good as him in solving cases.
To his credit, his action have been recognized, boosting the once 18% difference between this messed up game, up by 7%...but that didn't consoled the Caped Crusader or the League, as the mayor boost in justice favor is the executions, and extreme physical action done on people.
Right now the score red 52% for chaos, and 57% for peace...and the worse part, Bruce...he felt glad, Alfred, Selena, Gordon, they would be spared if this continued, but Mao...the Forsaken, their twisting their values, their morals, their codes, and rites of this world.
Batman removed his helmet, showing a tired, handsome face of man, being plagued, many time Joker, Hush, Ra's, Pyg, and many more, have almost pushed him over the edge, but he'd remain firmed to his belief, him, Clark, Diana, Hal, Barry, and others are in very emotionally draining situation.
Jo'nn have suggested they recruited new allies, to ease their burden, and the empty void that Black Canary, and Green Arrow have left behind.
That's when someone came into the cave, holding a tray of silverware, preparing warm tea for the young master, a old gentleman, wearing a butler uniform, showing great amounts of class, experience, and care, having dark hair, balding on the top.
This is Alfred Pennyworth, the heart of the bat family, and caretaker of the Wayne family for a long time, even raising Master Bruce Wayne himself, he saw Bruce, sitting in his chair, off the side of the batcomputer, walking over to him, showing him comfort, as they had a long needed talk.
Meanwhile Superman the Man of Steel, and most powerful being...or at now one of the most powerful beings on the New Earth, has just prevented a shoot out, between some bangers and some civilians that are fighting back.
Throughout this twisted game that Mao, set upon everyone, even Superman is being affected, not being able to stay put for a moment, the Avengers were another issue for the Man of Tomorrow, they have stopped many crimes done from renowned villains, Parasite, Silver Swan, Atrocitous, Heatwave, and Trickster who can be consider Barry's Joker, it took him, along with Shazam, and the second Earth's, Green Lantern, John Stewart a African American marine veteran, who was chosen by the Green Lantern Corp, all three of them together stopping the Avengers from killing those villains.
The unstable truce between these various heroes, and factions of this new world it very fragile, but still kept, Superman he is sighing and flying away through the skyscrapers of the city, when he saw a massive screen promoting a consort of somekind, when the mega-monitor glitched and turned into static.
This made Clark stop, floating in mid-air, watching the screen, in actual worry for it wasn't the assigned time, for Pincushion to give the update on the progress status of the game, as the screens and monitors around the world, finally showed clear picture, he appeared the creepy, and twisted, recently revealed Pincushion...but it wasn't in his studio, instead he appeared with his back shown to the screen, looking out from a massive window, that displayed a massive red moon, a reddish glowing dark sky, and some familiar silhouettes of insectoid drakes, that have attacked the New Earth many times.
Pincushion, finally spoke, "Good day. Let me start, by stating this isn't the daily update, instead my Lord, he has some important news for all of you, my friends." doing a elegant, motions with his hands, as he was presenting someone, and the screen shifted to right, like someone was holding a camera...then he appeared.
Sitting on a throne, a jacket like cape that drapes whisp of eerie shadows, clawed gauntlets grasping on the ends of the arm-rests, as the figure leaned forward allowing his form to be seen clearer, immediately around the world they knew who it is, the Lord of the Forsaken, the Scourge of Chicago, the Fiend of Fiends, Mao.
Mao's pale skin, white spiky hair, dark eyes, and a he started to laugh showing his razor sharp, jagged teeth, and bluish mouth, his clothes seen more clearer the maroon, violet, and black jacket, and black form fitting long-sleeved shirt, then he started clapping, as he continue to laugh.
Superman growled with his eyes blazing red, Batman in his batcave, having recovered thanks to his father figure Alfred, he frown, and tightened his fists, Wonder Woman and the other Leaguers were in a bad mood, while Team Arrow who have taken out a gang under the meta-crimelord, Derek Sampson, who escaped their raid, they'd watched in anger, and disdain at the Lord of the Forsaken, their mortal enemy.
Others like Captain America, Ironman, and Black Widow in the Avenger Tower, they looked upset at the screen, Banner nearly went full Hulk in his lab, Spiderman who recaptured some of the escapees of Ryker, he said, "Ohh man, I don't like that look at all." as a black suit with red web pattern and spider logo, wearing Spiderman or Arachnid Kid, Miles Morales, landed on the wall beside Peter, as they're helping each other to recapture these criminals, as Miles said, "Man Pete, I didn't want things to get worse." Peter responded to his young protégé, "Miles...one thing being Spiderman, has thought time and time again. Things always get worse, before they become better." as they'd watched as well, as many other heroes, and villains.
HYDRA, the Legion, ARGUS, SHIELD, and many, many more were watching, and documenting everything, except for maximum, around 20+ people, no one has ever seen Mao in person, and now everyone can put a face to the horror himself.
Mao started to settle down, as he spoke, "Man I have to applaud." and he did, as he continue to speak, "I can't believe that things, are getting soo much fun, if not for a brooding old bat, we could have the first ever Injustice Civil War, on our hands!! But ohhh well, the anarchy unfold, more then makes up, for that Miss opportunity. Also a big mention to our Clown Prince of Crime!! You're little show in Houston was entertaining, even Kefka said you'd make a good assistant on shows" hearing this Joker got pissed, pulled out his iconic, long barreled handcannon and blasted one of Luthor's tvs into scrap, Luthor sighed trying to calm himself, as he told Joker, "Joker that was 200K valued, high def. plasma TV. I hope you realize that?" Joker just gave a "whoopsie", and they continued to watch.
Mao even told his minions to clap for Joker's work, as various brown, red, green, and now blue colored gremlins started clapping on the screen and background, Mao stopped as he'd placed one leg over his other, and readjusted himself on his throne.
He spoke, "Enough of that, let's get down to the reason I'm talking to you, instead of my right hand, Pincushion. This game is really living things up. People are actually doing something, criminals are actually being menacing again, heroes are re-evaluating themselves, and villains stopped overthinking and began to join in on the whole show. All great, but then I had a thought. Regardless who won, or who suffered more, things would eventually go back to usual, until I go out of my Void, and force things to be exciting. Even when I forced two completely disconnected universes together, after all the hype and whining, things calmed down...until one of us, killed Oliver Queen, ohh sorry Green Arrow." this casual revelation, shocked, and anger countless around the world, that either knew or were ignorant of the Emerald Archer's real identity.
Then Mao frown angrily, saying "Stop whining, he's dead there no need to keep his identity secret anymore, it's there." then he'd smiled, "I know of a pretty bird, and a couple of arrows, that are eager to fight...I say your more an welcome too. But the main reason I brought up, this boring cycle, it's I think is time to shake things up again. Don't worry without my Cores, I can't merge a whole universe with this one...but I can alone, take parts of other Earths', disconnect to the current and bring in new players. That's right folks!! I'm gonna give a consolation prize to the losers." standing up, and walking across a gothic, dark throne chamber with darklord vibe of a theme, as he walked around, Pincushion appeared on screen and kneeled, minions were acting as minion, and maid drones were either stand straight or curcy at Mao.
Aside from the brief showing of changed Chicago, courtesy of a fleeing Flash Thompson, this is the first official view of the world inside Ground Zero, Mao stopped in the middle of the chamber, surrounded by two rows of dark torches, and candelabras.
As he revealed that there are countless worlds, filled with their own superheroes, villains, rules, and culture, so to compensate the losing side they get to choose which of these heroes or villains will join this world, to replace the 1-billion souls being put on the chopping block, then the screen turn black and a link to a site on the internet was displayed, along with the remain time before the day's update, on who's currently winning the game.
Immediately Batman, Flash, Batgirl, Red Robin, Overwatch, Gear, Luthor, Red Skull, Doom, Jessica John, Xavier, Magneto, Ironman, and many, many more accessed this link, it showed a basic profile of various groups of heroes or villains from other worlds, allowing the heroes to choose and see the heroes only, and vise versa with the villains.
The first has team of superheroes called the Seven, showing brief profiles of the members, their abilities, powers, and capabilities, but nothing more no personality files, or detailed background, the members of this team is Homelander, the Deep, Firecracker, Sister Sage, Black Noir II, Stormfront, and A-Train, a capable team of Supes, as that the term for Metahumans in that world, next is the Guardians of the Globe, members includes Invincible, Monster Girl, Dupli-kate, Robot, Rex Splode, Atom Eve, Knockout, and Bulletproof, and much more options from a team called Overwatch, The Protectorate, Hero Association, and more.
At the same time villains were having a similar reaction with the profiles, ranging from Slaughterhouse 9000, Azn Bad Boys, Talon, League of Villains, and Omni-villains which includes Powerplex, Knuckle Duster, Killcannon, Thule, Volcanikka, and Omnivincible, with the same level of information limit, as the heroes, Luthor, and Red Skull saw the benefits of recruiting some of these individuals, but it meant losing and risking their well being, hence understanding Mao's meaning of a consolation prize to the loser, if they win, then the heroes will suffer a great loss hence they face unknown individuals, and if they lost, the possibility of gaining worthwhile subordinates is tempting, this is a unexpected and double-edged twist to this insane game, regardless all groups, organizations, and teams have much to discuss with little time available.
The game is nearing its finale, and the heroes are pushing back, something else must be done to win this game...
