Chapter 38: Ch: 38 Dragon God's Go To War
Following Justinian's trist with Remnosh and Lauralina he did do what he said he would and visit the surface. When he was exposed to the sunlight, he could feel his armor begin to adapt and become more receptive to solar radiation.
He then began to feel his cells start storing solar radiation enhancing his physical abillities. Eventually, that would show its worth just like the Burning Martian genetics he had assimilated. He had all the benefits stacked in his favor and if he didn't use them he would just be setting himself up for failure.
Once he focused, he did visit his Predakons who were happy to see him. Predaking, Grimlock, Grendel, Devastator, and Ravage as his contracted familiars were bonded to his soul. His soul was one of his biggest advantages as thanks to his Perpetual nature and the fact he had two Dragon Gods connected to it the pressure forced his soul to continue to adapt.
He would not claim to have the most powerful soul in the galaxy, but he was probably not far off. Once he visited his pets, he promised them plenty of carnage in the coming Solar System wars which seemed to placate them for the time being.
He also visited all of the growing farms in person as he was just curious to see them in action. Any crop that was grown from Terra on Mars mutated thanks to the magic coursing through the planet.
Wheat became gigantic, the fruit became far more sweet, and even contained mana. On one farm, a White Martian farmer revealed he was growing Psychic Beans. The beans had a weak effect in that they helped grow the Psychic Power of those who ate them.
There were plenty of crops and farms where even the livestock were forced to adapt. Though, aside from farms, several more fortresses were growing as now. He even teleported directly to Olympus Mons where he had arrived when he first arrived on Mars.
Remnosh and Lauralina who were with him looked up to the erupting volcano as thanks to his actions geological activity was back. The city that had been under it left when it started bubbling magma.
When Justinian saw that he began to hum as he had planned to turn this into a giant Manufactorum like on Mars of 40k.
"Guess I will have to hold off on that till the magma stops."
Lauralina turned to him with a smile.
"Why not use your power to just stop it? Or get the Shapers to do it?"
Justinian shook his head as the volcano kept spewing magma and other stuff into the surroundings.
"Sometimes, a good volcanic erupting is a good thing. The mana being released will saturate this area. Regardless, I think I am done here."
As he started walking back followed by the two Burning Martians, he had a bit more pep in his step. Both smiling, they followed after him as he opened a portal back to his throne room. When he took his place on his Throne, he relaxed as they both sat down on the armrests of his throne.
'This is the life.'
With a smile on his face, he closed his eyes as he allowed himself to sleep. A rare thing for him with how he didn't get tired. However, turning off his mind for even a few hours could be relaxing.

Following Justinian acquiring the proper genetic material he desired, he set resources apart for the cloning of his massive clone army. Once the cloning facility was set up and clones were starting to get produced he set up many safeties to prevent his clones from betraying him.
The interesting thing was since the three Kryptonian clones had souls, it stood to reason the new clones he was making did have souls as well. When he saw that, he set up so the cloning facility would place a magical imprint of his magic on each clone's soul.
The imprint instilled loyalty, and courage, and drove away fear and other negative emotions. Much like his Marines, he also placed more in their genetics which he had made to double down on the lack of betrayal.
He did not want a Horus Heresy or whatever would happen in DC. It was bad enough in 40k he didn't need it in this reality as well. Once the facilities were up, and cloning began, he also placed some focus on the Promethium armor of Slade.
After discovering how the material worked, he added it to the Flak and Carapse armor the Clones would wear. He decided to name them after the 54th Psian Jackals who were Eldar Hunting Regiment of Tempestus Scions.
Their armor also contained trace amounts of Adamantium to increase its durability. Once the first clones were produced he tested them against each other finding that they didn't hesitate to follow his orders or the orders of those that were to command them.
In battle, thanks to the genetic template he used the Lazarus Pit genetics of Ra's merged with Slade's Super Soldier modified ones to increase aggression and regeneration.
He also added in the combat memories of Slade and Ra's into their genetics meaning each one would be a master combatant. Adding the limited Kryptonian DNA added to their genes they could also absorb Solar Radiation to increase their regeneration and physical abillities.
While Slade could lift around 5 tons at his best, these new clones could lift to 50 straight out of the cloning facilities. When they were tested, they could run more than 150 mph out of the pods which would increase thanks to their ability to absorb solar radiation to enhance their attributes slightly.
It was worse than Super Boy since he used only around 5% Kryptonian compared to Super Boy's 50%. They couldn't fly, or use laser vision, or a tactile aura, but they made it up for it with numbers.
Once his Clones were regarded as a success, he ordered mass production to begin. For a start, he ordered around 50 Million clones for a start which would take time to deliver. The ones that were produced were added to the military of The Imperium.
They were spread out to all the cities, Kingdoms, and Empires that now bent the knee to The Imperium. After their mandatory basic training just to make sure nothing was wrong with their genetics or minds.
While they were loyal to The Imperium and Justinian they were still sentient. As such, he ordered these Clones to be treated just as if they were people. There would be no discrimination for A.I, Clones, or Aliens if they were in The Imperium.
Only outsiders or enemies which was not hard because these Clones were all Warriors. White Martians respected the Warriors and while the League began to prepare for an eventual Justinian invasion of Terra.
However, their preparations were not preparing for Justinian to begin diplomatic missions. He sent his 'diplomats' to meet with the 'rulers' of Russia, China, North Korea(Rhelasia), India, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Bialya, Markovia, and Santa Prisca.
All of them had been killed including Queen Bee the ruler of Bialya. He never liked her so he ordered her murdered and replaced by one of his trained infiltrators. Since the League could not stop Justinian from meeting with these countries, they never expected all of them to agree to not just begin diplomatic relations, but to allow Justinian to place his troops in their countries.
When that was revealed in these countries, unrest began in the population, but it was crushed with an iron heel by the Martian Infiltrators. Thanks to their Psychic abillities, these infiltrators could force their will to pass laws that favored Justinian.
This made it illegal to protest against diplomacy with The Imperium of Mars as it was called for the moment. Not just that, several laws were passed that made it illegal for the Justice League to operate in their lands.
If The League entered anyway, it would be seen as an act of War. Speaking of War, Justinian began to place more and more of his Clone army of Psian Jackels in these countries.
He built massive military bases in each of these countries with technology and magic that made these fortunes go up in a short amount of time. The Imperium then built massive teleport gates in these bases from which troops, tanks, artillery, jets, and Bioships could be brought across planets.
Even the Insectoids as he took to calling the giant insects that evolved on Mars. The League seeing what Justinian was doing through the 'legal' means as an extension of the American Government and the UN charter were limited in what they could do.
They couldn't go over to these countries and ask to be allowed into these bases. Infiltrating them was also a no-go as each one had more ways to make sure no one got in that was not supposed to go in.
Even worse was when Space Marines and Tempestus Scions started crossing over in massive numbers. These were Martians who were even more of a threat than the Psian Jackels who were rank-and-file soldiers.
The Infiltrators then began to pass more laws and bills to encourage trade and defense pacts with The Imperium. This allowed Justinian's troops to begin to place military power through these countries.
Even Lauralina decided to come over which meant one of Justinian's Honor Guard an enhanced Burning Martian with magic, Psychic, and Kryptonian genes was over. A Justice League-level threat was here and she brought with her, her Inquisitors.
These Martians were Elites trained to root out any kind of traitorous thoughts. Through magic, they would always find their targets allowing them to put down rebellions before they started.
Even the militaries of these countries were taken over by replacing their leadership. More orders were passed that began to allow for 'joint' exercises between the forces of Justinian. However, the clones only saw the humans as weak and couldn't even pass their warm-ups.
The Marines, Scions, and Shapers all now understood that humanity was only protected from them by The League. It was embarrassing how their previous invasion was pushed back by these people.
While changes were happening on Earth, Justinian, Ddraig and Albion had amped up their training. By creating new Dimensions the three of them could fight battles against each other or Justinian's Honor Guard.
Sometimes, Ddraig fought against Albion and Justinian, or vice versa, or Albion and Ddraig took on Justinian alone. It was good training as the three of them were soul brothers and the more they worked together the stronger they became.
Currently, it was one such battle as Justinian flew toward Ddraig as a giant. He had enhanced his size making him 100 meters tall around the same size as Ddraig's Dragon God Form.
Ddraig with a grin charged at Justinian.
[Boost x10]
Instantly his power was multiplied to 1,048,576 times itself which caused Ddraig to begin to glow like a Super Nova of red and gold. As Ddraig and Albion flew next to each other, Ddraig smirked.
[Transfer.]
Instantly all the power Ddraig gathered surged into Albion causing Justinian to smile. He gripped his titanic Guardian Spear in his hand as he did something similar.
"Boost x 10."
When his power was increased to 1,048,576 like Ddraig, it felt like he had liquid gold flowing through his veins in an intoxicating way. He flew forward on mechanized wings as Albion opened his mouth
A massive burst of purple-red fire surged at Justinian. When it reached him, Justinian didn't block as it hit his body. His Auramite Halo shimmered as it blocked, but more importantly, he had fused Albion's Reflector into it.
When Albion's attack was absorbed Justinian channeled all that power and more into his Storm Bolter. He raised his left hand and released two Bolter Rounds full of enough power to shred a Star Cluster.
However, Ddraig and Albion linked their minds together as they opened a massive Dragon Gate absorbing the Bolter. Another opened above Justinian's head, but he repeated the same as his friends teleporting his attack directly above them.
"Explosion."
When the blast hit in full force, it was so powerful that Sigismund braced his sword to not be sent flying. Remnosh turned to him as that was a big attack.
"Are they fine?"
[Fine and dandy.]
From the center of the blast, Ddraig flapped his wings dispersing the energy. When it was revealed that aside from minor cuts and bruises he was fine. The same applied to Albion who was healing at a visible rate.
Justinian shrunk himself down as his Dragon God brothers returned to their human forms. Remnosh was curious about something.
"How are you fine?"
Ddraig dusted himself off as Albion gave a fist bump to Justinian.
"Simple, since Justinian is a Perpetual, and we are his Soul Brothers we kinda became Perpetuals too. Besides, we are very resistant to each other and our energies."
Albion nodded.
"What he said? We can't harm each other all that well and we don't need to. Now, Justinian how long have we been in this Time Dilation of Mars?"
"5 years and 11 months. Now that I think about it, the Time Dilation Field goes down tomorrow right?"
Ddraig nodded.
"And then we have to meet with the Saturnians in the Asteroid Belt."
Justinian smiled as he thought of his Armada. Aside from his Gloriana Class Battleship, they had managed to build another two. The Conqueror, and The Vengeful Spirit along with several other marks.
That would be quite the shocker to the Saturnians, and even more so when Justinian called Klarion to start his ritual.
"First thing first, we meet with the Saturnians, and then we begin preparing for the takeover of Earth. The gods can't manifest on Earth as much as they could."
Ddraig and Albion nodded as they returned to the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing.
[Trust me, we will get it done. We will get you The Mother Box, having access to the Boom Tubes of the New Gods would be useful in our conquests. Wouldn't it be interesting to go to The Injustice Universe?]
'A bit, but I rather not go and stir the bee's nest yet. Instead, focus on what we got now.'
{That is smarter than Ddraig's limited brain cells can process.}
[Ha, ha, very funny.]
'Quite both of you.'
[Aye sir.]
{Yes Dad.}
He teleported himself and his Honor Guard back to the secret Dimension where he kept his fleet. Three Gloriana Class, several Escort Vessels, Battle Cruisers, and Battle Barges. Though none of them measured to his personal Faglship The Invincible Reason.
While it was 30 miles long the other two were only around 25 miles long. It was a grand fleet regardless that would only grow as the Imperium did. Justinian connected to the Psychic Net.
'Prepare my fleet.'
At his order, his ships would be manned and prepared for tomorrow when he would meet with the Saturnians. After that, in the following weeks, he would start preparing for his takeover of Earth. As Justinian decreed.

(Once they get the Mother Box, which Alternative Earth should Justinian Focus on? Injustice? Crime Syndicate, or something else?)
