In space.
A figure in a red cape looked at the battlefield that had ended.
"You never really lost your memory, did you?"
Richard said.
"Hmm, I just wanted to quietly think about life after losing my powers. Also, thank you for the gift, Louise is much happier now."
Clark smiled slightly, looking like an honest and simple country boy.
"You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also lie! This isn't the Dark Multiverse, is it? I want to go back to Marvel."
Richard wanted to curl his toes just thinking about how he had fooled this guy earlier.
"Sorry, I also wanted to ask, your abilities…"
A hint of anticipation flashed in Clark's eyes as he cautiously asked.
"I'm not a Kryptonian; I just copied your superpowers when you died."
Richard said.
"Oh, I see…"
A subtle hint of disappointment flashed in Clark's eyes.

Apokolips.
In the palace.
A massive Boom Tube suddenly appeared, its powerful energy surge spewing out countless architectural fragments, along with dense Parademons, the burly Steppenwolf, and even a Batplane, which was swept along and crashed heavily to the ground.
Darkseid sat upon his throne, slowly opening his eyes. His scarlet eyes revealed endless majesty and coldness, as he indifferently looked down at the disheveled Steppenwolf.
Steppenwolf removed his armor and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Master, give me another chance, and I will surely take Earth for you."
"Parademons."
Darkseid merely uttered softly.
Instantly, countless Parademons surged like a tide towards Steppenwolf, their tearing and chewing sounds intertwining, sending shivers down one's spine.
Even so, Steppenwolf dared not resist in the slightest, maintaining his prostrate posture, motionless, like a frozen statue.
Just then, the Batplane suddenly activated.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of violent explosions instantly turned the once solemn and majestic palace into a sea of fire. Countless fireballs shot into the sky, and innumerable Parademons were annihilated in the blast.
Darkseid slowly emerged from the rolling smoke and dust, exuding a chilling aura.
Two small mountains made of Parademon corpses began to collapse, revealing the disheveled DeSaad and Granny Goodness inside.
"You useless fool, you even brought a bomb back."
DeSaad looked at the charred Steppenwolf on the ground with resentment.
"I'm sorry, Master…"
Steppenwolf still maintained his prostrate posture, his voice trembling, filled with fear and despair.
Bruce's voice suddenly came from the wreckage of the Batplane.
"Darkseid, this is just a warning. If you dare come to Earth again, I will destroy all of Apokolips."
Two dazzling red beams instantly burst from Darkseid's eyes, completely destroying the remaining wreckage of the Batplane.
He walked over to Steppenwolf, stepped on Steppenwolf's head, and applied slight pressure.
"Steppenwolf, you truly are a waste."
"Master… Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, Darkseid mercilessly crushed Steppenwolf's head, then turned and walked out of the palace with steady steps.
"Earth, New God, we will meet again."

Batcave
Richard looked at the pile of fragments above.
"So you ended up destroying him anyway. Why didn't you call me? It would have been easy."
Everyone from the Justice League was here, including Clark.
Bruce showed no surprise when he saw Clark; he had long suspected that Clark's amnesia was faked, he just hadn't exposed it before.
"Destroying it wasn't the ultimate goal; this was just part of my overall plan."
Bruce explained calmly.
"And you two, you just stood there and watched us get beaten?"
Diana crossed her arms, looking at Richard and Clark with annoyance.
"I was out saving the World, this guy was the one who watched you all get beaten from start to finish."
Richard pointed to Clark beside him.
"Because even without me, you could still defeat the enemy." Clark laughed.
"Saving the World? Brother Richard, it seems you only showed up after the war ended."
Barry asked somewhat hesitantly.
"It was another parallel World. I met another Flash, and then…"
Richard recounted the events of the other World.
He even showed the embarrassing moments he had collected this time.
"Thank you."
Diana watched the video of her other self saying thank you, and stated decisively: "Fake."
"What about this one?"
Richard pulled out another one.
(I don't have any embarrassing moments. How old are you? 5…)
Bang!
Diana directly crushed the player in her hand.
"Not just you, everyone has them."
Richard grinned mischievously, distributing a copy of their own "embarrassing moments" to everyone present, except Aquaman.
Bruce's expression was solemn; this guy was getting stronger and stronger.
Moreover, since the Flash from other Worlds could appear in this World, there might be more unexpected surprises in the future. It seemed a new contingency plan needed to be formulated.
Barry inexplicably shivered, but didn't pay it much mind.
He seriously watched his other self in the video. The Speed Force could cross parallel Worlds, so what about time?
"Demon King, did my other self not become Cyborg in that other World?"
Victor looked at his other intact self with some nostalgia.
"He did, but I cured him. Do you need it? Just give me your body."
Richard looked at him expectantly.
Victor looked at his mechanical body with some hesitation. If it were before, he would have accepted without hesitation, but then he thought of Steppenwolf earlier.
"No, this World still needs Cyborg's strength."
"Alright."
Richard was still planning to make a Kabuto.
"Why don't I have a copy?"
Aquaman asked in confusion.
"Your other self didn't even appear in that other World, probably still staying in the Water."
Richard shrugged.
Clark also looked at his other self, somewhat stunned, never expecting to see another version of himself in this way.
"You said you fought Darkseid. Do you have any intelligence on him?"
Bruce looked at Richard seriously.
"Yes, but you have to trade something with me."
Richard, with his back to Clark, touched the S on his chest.
"Alright."
Bruce agreed directly.
Richard immediately pulled out FAIZ.
As soon as FAIZ appeared, its gaze locked onto Victor, and yellow units flashed with data streams.
"Your Majesty, detected upgrade material. Capture it?"
Victor was instantly stimulated, a red light lit up on his forehead, and he directly transformed into his combat form.
"Refuse. Release the video of your battle with Darkseid."
"Yes."
A projection shot from FAIZ's eyes.
It showed a first-person perspective of the battle with Darkseid, with analyses of his energy, strength, and speed alongside it.
The others also watched, and later, their expressions became solemn one by one. With such power, it would be very difficult for all of them combined to win.
"How did you defeat him in the end?" Bruce asked.
"That's VIP exclusive content."
Richard had no intention of revealing his trump card.
Bruce knew the plan needed updating again.
