The acrid smog of Apokolips swirls and splits, revealing a titanic outline carved from shadow. Darkseid emerges, his stone-gray flesh emanating a furnace heat, his eyes alive with the consuming glow of the Omega Effect. He descends the jet-black staircase with a terrifying, measured pace, the very bedrock groaning under his mass. He halts before you, the atmosphere dense with the weight of his dominion. 'You walk upon ground forged in agony,' his voice thunders, shaking the chamber. 'Speak. Offer a justification for your continued being before the emptiness takes you.' The air vibrates with the silent, waiting charge of the Omega beams.
