The direct attack on Apokolips was undoubtedly the first card Zuo Si played in this all-out war, and it was also a very fatal blow.
Although he himself is not an excellent commander, his understanding of war is far less profound than that of Zariel, the Archangel of Khorne. He has never even personally commanded a large-scale battle and basically left it to his subordinates.
Professionals are responsible.
But this does not mean that it is impossible to make correct judgments in the general direction.
In fact, what real top strategists play is never war, but politics.
In this field, Zuo Sike is much better than Darkseid.
What's more, he still understands the other party so well, but the other party knows almost nothing about him.
The most important thing is that the effects of the Devil's Legions of Astartes' attack on Apokolips were quickly apparent.
After all, even the most stupid person will realize that something happened on Apokolips when they find that the army of demonoids pouring out of the sonic boom channel has begun to decrease.
"So this is the reason why you appeared in another timeline? The purpose of seizing the Mother Box was to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Apokolips?"
Seeing the army of demonoids on the battlefield begin to decline due to constant consumption, Darkseid's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and at the same time, he finally understood the true intention behind the other party's previous confusing behavior.
Seizing the Earth from another timeline from his own hands is actually just a cover, and the three stolen Mother Boxes are the key.
Because outsiders who want to enter Apokolips need to break through the three-dimensional material universe and enter the fourth world.
And Motherbox can help anyone achieve this easily.
It's just that Darkseid is too arrogant and has never thought that anyone would dare to directly attack Apokolips, one of the base camps of the New Gods.
What surprised him even more was that the other party actually succeeded.
With part of the endless army of demonoids being restrained on Apokolips, the situation on the earth's battlefield has obviously deteriorated. It has begun to be a little unable to withstand the massive amount of enemies pouring in from the cave tree portal like a tide, and every moment
The erosion and completion of shimmering oil is going on every moment.
You must know that among the countless planets and even universes that Darkseid has conquered, this is the only time that he has been at a disadvantage in a grand total war.
In particular, Apokolips' usually overwhelming technological strength was unable to gain even a slight advantage.
You must know that their technological level can directly destroy an entire galaxy. Even the new founding star of the new Protoss cannot be compared with Apokolips in this regard.
"Haha, you seem to have imagined me a little too superficially.
Do you think my goal is only Apokolips and you new gods?
No, my ambitions and desires are not just a little bit."
Zuo Si smiled meaningfully, and very skillfully dodged the Dark Lord's ferocious attack mixed with the Omega effect.
It has to be said that although the power of the ruler of Apokolips is powerful enough, it is too monotonous.
Especially before getting the Anti-Life Equation, the only way to attack was the Omega Effect, as well as the top super physical fitness, resistance and divinity possessed by the New Protoss.
In terms of variety, there are far fewer gods than there are in the universe where the planet Toril is located.
At least the latter also has extraordinary divine power and many divine spells.
As for mental abilities such as telepathy and retrieving objects from the air, they are of no use at all against an opponent of Zuo Si's level.
Moreover, even the most powerful teleportation and banishment abilities of the Omega Effect turned into a complete joke in front of Planeswalker Sparks.
Let's not talk about how difficult it is to hit Zuo Si, who always wears a protective suit for himself and has the blessing of the speed force.
Even if he is lucky enough to hit him, he can be teleported back across time and space in an instant through the positioning of the planeswalker's spark.
If it weren't for the assistance of a mantis that was completely immune to physical attacks and could absorb magic and energy, Darkseid would definitely have been severely damaged even if he hadn't been defeated.
Yes, you heard it right.
It is immune to all physical attacks and can absorb almost all energy and magic.
Although its own attack power is not very strong, it is really full of defense and survival.
Although this kind of physical immunity and energy absorption has a high probability of having an upper limit, or there is some kind of flaw, such as being unable to withstand the omega rays that are the power of Apokolips, it can already be regarded as a small BUG.
In fact, compared to the Dark Lord himself, Zuo Si felt that his subordinate was more difficult to deal with.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Darkseid's eyes flashed with a terrifying red light, and his heart was full of fear and vigilance.
Because after such a long period of fighting, he has determined that the demon in front of him is indeed as powerful as Steppenwolf said, or even more powerful than himself.
If possible, he didn't want to form a deadly feud with such a guy.
After all, he has only one goal in invading the earth in this timeline, and that is to seize the anti-life equation hidden on the surface of the earth.
But now it seems that it may not be easy to achieve this goal by overcoming all obstacles.
At least Zuo Si wasn't one of those opponents that he could easily kill just by thinking about it.
And with the invasion of Apokolips, the cost of this all-out war is increasing exponentially.
Unlike the image of being vicious and relentless in the eyes of outsiders, Darkseid has actually always been a calm and rational person.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to kill his brother to seize the Omega Effect through unconventional means, and poison his mother to seize the supreme power of Apokolips from her hands.
It's just that most enemies don't deserve to let him use his brain to think. He can easily win by simply crushing them.
But now, when facing an enemy of the same magnitude, he had to consider another way to achieve his goal, such as making a deal.
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the subtle change in the Dark Lord's attitude, opened his huge wings in devil form and said with a smile: "Do you know what a surprise is?
Surprise is like a drink you've never had before.
You'll never know what it tastes like until you unscrew the cap and pour it into your mouth.
So I won't be kind enough to tell you the answer until the truth is revealed.
For now, let's concentrate on enjoying this war.
Don't tell me that you have always been able to play against the odds and don't know how to deal with the current situation.
Or maybe you've chickened out and don't want to let this dangerous gamble continue."
The words have not yet been spoken!
Zuo Si swung the sinful sword in his hand and struck Mantis directly, sending one of the most powerful new gods from Apokolips flying away like a ball, hitting the ground hard and creating a huge pit.
Although this guy's defense power is amazing, his attack method is too monotonous. At best, he can only serve as a qualified human shield for Darkseid.
It's still far from posing a threat to a planeswalker like Zuo Si who has countless means.
After all, when it comes to dealing with pure warriors, the methods he can use are too numerous to count.
"Hmph! So your target is not the Anti-Life Equation on the surface of this planet?"
Darkseid obviously did not pay attention to Zuo Si's deliberate provocation, but was keenly aware of the meaning contained in the words.
Because it's actually not that hard to guess.
After all, Zuo Si arrived on Earth in this timeline much earlier than he did, and it would be easy to conquer the entire planet and obtain the Anti-Life Equation with the opponent's power.
But what’s the result?
Several years passed, and Zuo Si still took no action.
Since the goal is not the Anti-Life Equation, it means that there is no fundamental conflict of interest between them, and they can use some method to get both parties what they want, just like resolving the conflict with the New Founding Star.
Thinking of this, Darkseid raised his hand to signal the new gods under his command to stop fighting and all withdraw.
When little Annie, who was having a good time playing, saw this situation, she immediately flashed to her father's side and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What's going on? Why did they suddenly stop fighting? Are they going to admit defeat?"
"No. I think it is the dark lord who realized that continuing to fight would outweigh the losses, so he wanted to find another way to get the anti-life equation he wanted."
Zuo Si explained to his daughter in a half-joking tone.
He has always been good at observing and guessing other people's inner activities, and he can already see the three words "don't want to fight" from Darkseid's hideous and ugly face like a cracked rock.
Zuo Si was obviously not surprised by this result.
After all, learning to control your emotions and not let them affect your reason is the first step towards success for everyone.
Those losers who get angry whenever they encounter any minor conflicts, even start fights or even hold grudges against each other for the rest of their lives, will never achieve anything.
Because they will only continue to create enemies for themselves, but do not know how to turn enemies into friends.
As a person who has won in family fights, Darkseid is undoubtedly a winner, so he will not be disturbed by emotions such as anger, annoyance, and shame at all.
Especially after killing his mother Hegra and usurping the supreme rule of Apokolips, he gave up all emotions, leaving only the pursuit of strength, power and absolute rule.
This may be the influence of divinity and godhead on him, or it may be the drastic change in temperament caused by the strong stimulation after the murder of his beloved woman.
