The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 960 If You Can't Win, Then Play Tricks
Li Ming was very confused. Darkseid's strength had already reached the extreme of level eight. How could it be further enhanced?

Then he turned his gaze to the already pitch-black Apocalypse, and a flash of enlightenment suddenly came to his mind.

"Is it because of Apocalypse?" he guessed in his mind.

Hela has the ability to quickly improve her strength in Asgard, so it is normal for Darkseid to have similar abilities.

But this is a tough time for the Green Lantern Corps. Not only do they have to deal with countless armies of Apokolips, but they also have to resist the erosion of dark energy.

The Green Lanterns are like cotton, and will turn into ashes when touched by the dark flames.

"So this is what Darkseid relies on." Li Ming thought to himself.

Before, he, Supreme Strange, Bruce, and Trinita were able to deal with Darkseid, but now Darkseid’s strength is very close to the ninth level, and they can no longer suppress him even with their combined efforts.

Soon, cracks appeared on Bruce's Hellbat Armor under the impact of dark energy. Fortunately, this armor was quite idealistic, and Bruce used his strong will to keep it from breaking.

The Supreme Strange has also revealed his demon form. He has absorbed too much power from mysterious creatures, and has been able to maintain a very good balance of magic power in his body. Now, under such a high-intensity attack, he can no longer take care of so many things.

Darkseid's momentum remained undiminished, and he swung his giant axe with great power. Trinita's four eyes shot out magic beams at the same time, but they were quickly chopped apart by Darkseid's axe. Then he chopped Trinita on the head, and Trinita quickly blocked it with his arms.

But no matter how strong his body was, it could not withstand Darkseid's giant axe. Sangong's arm armor was shattered and deep wounds were left on his arm.

Li Ming no longer hid when he saw this. He knew that in a battle of this level, if he couldn't hold on, collapse would only take a moment.

He directly used the holy bonus. Under the blessing of the Archangel, Li Ming's strength approached the peak of the eighth level. He immediately launched a fierce attack on Darkseid and stopped him from continuing to attack the three palaces.

Li Ming's holy flame constantly washed away Darkseid's dark power. Although the Spear of Longinus and the Silmaril had the effect of increasing the power of dark power, every time the holy flame overwhelmed the dark aura, it would quickly be covered by more dark power.

If Li Ming had not analyzed all the Infinity Gems, he would not be able to support such a huge amount of holy light.

But this was the first time that Li Ming was unable to suppress the dark power even with all his bonuses.

Darkseid's fighting skills are also very profound. Li Ming is using all his strength to operate the [Kratos Template] and the Spartan's wrath at full power, but he can only fight Darkseid on equal terms under the cover of Bruce and the other two.

"Pfft!"

"boom!"

"Stab!"

New injuries continued to appear on Li Ming and Darkseid's bodies. They both had strong self-healing abilities, but the battle was so intense that new wounds appeared before the old ones had healed.

The temporary increase in the sacred bonus only lasts for 5 minutes. Li Ming did not dare to delay and used all of Pika's white armor. The coverage of hellfire did add some strength to him.

Unfortunately, Pikachu couldn't withstand a few blows from Darkseid, and soon Li Ming had to take the seriously injured Pikachu back to prevent him from being hacked to death by Darkseid.

"no solution anymore!"

Li Ming made up his mind and thought about the many items in his personal space, and then he took something out.

[Mark of Satan]!
[Satan's token, can communicate with Satan Lucifer across the world. Can summon Lucifer's projection to help in battle, lasts for 3 minutes, can be extended to 10 minutes with points, cooldown time is 360 hours.]

This was what Li Ming had extorted from Lucifer before, and it can be used to summon Lucifer's projection to help in battle.

Lucifer's projection must be much stronger than Mammon, right?
But just as he was about to use it, he suddenly felt a sensation in his heart.

It’s the old silver coin cough cough… God.

Li Ming almost forgot that one of the rewards for the ultimate mission of the Gotham Universe is for God to become the world consciousness of this universe. In this sense, it is also appropriate for Old Silver Coin to contribute.

Following the guidance given by God, something popped up in Li Ming's mind.

"The Gotham Scepter?"

Li Ming frowned slightly.

"The Gotham Scepter is in the Legendary Mark, and all its effects have been used. Do you want me to use the Gotham Madness?"

"You can't let me die once using the resurrection skill." Li Ming complained in his heart. This is the annoying thing about Old Silver Coin. He never says things directly.

"and many more……"

A sudden inspiration came to Li Ming's mind. In addition to resurrection, the Gotham Scepter did have another skill that he had never used.

[Symbol of Gotham: Active skill, can rename a place in the current world to Gotham, and enjoy the Gotham bonus effect within the sphere of influence. ]

Li Ming instantly understood the meaning of the old silver coin.

The attribute bonuses of the Gotham Scepter are strength, physique, agility, and spirit. Within the range of Gotham, Li Ming can get an additional 50% bonus.

Now his battle with Darkseid has become a collision of rules and origins, and the improvement of the four-dimensional attributes can have little effect.

But the reason why Darkseid is exploding now is because he is on Apokolips, his own land of origin.

What if this isn't Apocalypse?

Although it felt a bit far-fetched, Li Ming would not miss any opportunity. He held the Spear of Longinus in his right hand, released the Holy Flame to temporarily stop Darkseid's actions, and then the Gotham Scepter emerged in his left hand.

Li Ming held the Gotham Scepter and immediately activated the [Symbol of Gotham] skill.

"Rename Apokolips to... Gotham!"

He roared, and the next second an invisible force burst out from the Gotham Scepter, sweeping across the entire Apocalypse in an instant.

Then Li Ming and others saw that Apokolips, which was shrouded in darkness, slowly emerged. It no longer provided Darkseid with a steady supply of dark power, causing Darkseid's strength to drop sharply!
"What? This is impossible!"

Darkseid was shocked and furious. He had no idea what Li Ming had done to cause him to lose a major source of power.

"What have you done to my God...Gotham?" Darkseid froze in place as soon as he finished speaking.

"Gotham? What is this?" His eyes widened instantly, "I wanted to say Apocalypse... Wait."

Darkseid's eyes suddenly locked onto Li Ming.

"It's you. You actually used the power of the origin of the world!"

His vision far exceeded that of others, and he immediately realized that only the Origin of the World could have the ability to influence his thinking and force Apocalypse to change its name.

Little did he know that Li Ming was also very shocked at this moment.

He just thought that this idea might be feasible, so he gave it a try. Unexpectedly, he actually disconnected Darkseid and Apokolips!

"Sure enough, no matter what time it is, conceptual ability is always the strongest!" Li Ming sighed in his heart.

Now the confident smile that Darkseid had just had shifted to his face.

Li Ming naturally would not explain the reason to Darkseid. The Archangel's temporary sacred bonus only lasted for more than a minute. Li Ming had to seize the time and take this opportunity to kill Darkseid!
At this moment, Darkseid was surprised and found himself in danger.

His connection with Apocalypse was severed, and because of his injuries, his own strength even fell to a level weaker than the last battle. On the other hand, Li Ming now activated the sacred bonus, and because he was standing on Gotham's territory, he had an additional 50% four-dimensional attribute bonus from the Gotham Scepter, so his strength was even stronger than his!

"You go and hold him back!" Li Ming instructed Bruce and the other two.

Bruce and Strange Supreme immediately rushed towards Darkseid. Although Trinita was reluctant, there was no reason to hold back since the fight had come to this point, so he had to rush along with them.

Without Li Ming, it would be difficult for the three of them to face Darkseid.

Even though in the animation Sannomiya was able to fight against Darkseid and even suppress him for a short time, that was only against Darkseid's clone.

Now they are facing the real Darkseid, who is stronger than Sannomiya and has more experience than Sannomiya, so Bruce and the other two immediately fell into a disadvantage.

"boom!"

Darkseid's iron fist carrying a dark aura landed on Bruce's chest, and the Hellbat armor immediately broke into several pieces. At that time, Bruce gritted his teeth, forced himself to concentrate, and stabilized the armor again.

The power of the yellow light in his hand exploded, and combined with the power of the Hellbat Armor, he forcibly locked Darkseid's right hand.

The Supreme Strange also launched several thick tentacles and directly grabbed Darkseid.

Sannomiya seized the opportunity and attacked Darkseid's head, but even though Darkseid had lost Apokolips, his own dark power was also amazing.

After a burst of aura from his body, all of the Supreme's strange tentacles were burned clean. He turned around and hit Bruce's shoulder hard with an axe, then firmly resisted the Three Palace Demon's fist.

While they were fighting, Li Ming was accumulating the power of annihilation.

Because his source power level has now reached Lv.8, charging up annihilation no longer requires a whole day like it did when he dealt with Thanos.

In less than a minute, Li Ming had completed the accumulation of energy.

However, at this time, Bruce and the other two were almost unable to hold on. The magic power in Supreme Strange's body continued to roll, and he could hardly maintain his demon form. Most of Bruce's armor was shattered, and even one of the two horns on the Three Palaces Demon's head had been cut off.

Finally, Li Ming took action.

The dark blue annihilation energy appeared in Li Ming's hand, which compressed various powers such as infinite gems, source power, holy light, divine power, etc. At this time, Li Ming looked somewhat familiar.

"The origin of the world?" he murmured.

That’s right, Li Ming actually saw some shadow of the origin of the world in the annihilation energy. No wonder it was so powerful.

He did not delay, the annihilation energy flashed across his hand, and the next moment Darkseid's expression froze.

"Damn it!" He only had time to roar before the giant axe in his hand turned into dust and disappeared.

Then, as he looked unwillingly, Darkseid's body was completely devoured by annihilation.

Darkseid, die!

[Ding, congratulations on completing the final mission. The reward will be issued after you leave the current universe for the first time! ]

The hint of the abyss popped up immediately, making Li Ming very happy.

Although the reward has not been received yet, he already knows the content of the reward.

The quality of Gotham Scepter has been upgraded to mythical!
God becomes the world consciousness of the Gotham universe!
After receiving the reward, Li Ming can say loudly: "I am invincible in this universe!"

Now that the world consciousness has become his, Li Ming can really walk sideways.

Li Ming resurrected the fallen Green Lantern Corps members as usual, and Apokolips...

"Snapped!"

He snapped his fingers, and immediately turned all the demons, fleets, etc. above into ashes.

Of course, he didn't actually waste it that much. Li Ming transferred all of Apocalypse's army to the world of Soul Gem, so that he could still use them if there was a big war there in the future.

The main point is not to waste.

Although Darkseid had been killed, Li Ming did not take it lightly.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Li Ming also understood that he had killed only a clone.

The real Darkseid definitely has the strength of the ninth level!

Li Ming didn't believe that Darkseid would lose interest in this place after being beaten back to his hometown by him. According to his understanding of the villain, Darkseid's next attack would only be more fierce.

"Old Silver Coin, you'll have to do the hard work next time." Li Ming murmured.

Li Ming is still unable to defeat a ninth-level warrior. If he could defeat a ninth-level warrior, he could go straight to Michael.

It would be better to let the old silver coins be like the world of God of War, so that other people cannot enter this world.

Back on Earth, the remaining Apocalypse Legion has been eliminated, and the Earth side is cleaning up the battlefield.

All the superheroes were very happy to hear the news of defeating Apokolips.

But then they started to prepare for new battles.

Because Li Ming has to be on guard. If Darkseid makes a comeback, Old Silver Coin will not be able to defend against the ninth-level surprise attack.

Under his advice, the fortifications on the Sahara battlefield continued to be built, and the Earth also found that fighting the aliens in the desert was the best option rather than fighting in the city.

Losses can be minimized.

As for how the countries near the Sahara agreed, Li Ming didn't care.

After returning from Apocalypse Star, Sangong Demon immediately clamored for Li Ming to abide by the agreement and set him free.

However, Sangong only quarreled with Li Ming, but his attitude towards his daughter Raven was obviously much kinder.

So Li Ming kept his promise and released Sangong.

But when Sangong suggested taking Raven away with him, Raven refused.

She had a great time in the Teen Titans and found friends she had never had before. Given her relationship with Damian, she might even become the Wayne family's young lady. Raven naturally would not go with Sannomiya to conquer other planets.

There was no choice but for Sangong to take Bane with him and leave the earth immediately.

But Li Ming was secretly happy.

Sangong thought he was free, but as long as Raven was still on Earth, he would not be able to stand idly by the next time the Earth was in crisis.

This weakness will make him suffer for the three palaces all his life.
