New Genesis.
New Genesis was covered by dense forests and grasslands, with fresh air and pure energy. Towering mountains stood majestically, and streams flowed gently, with lush greenery adorning the landscape.
Wild animals formed an ecosystem in the forests and grasslands, living on this planet free of pollution.
The only city with intelligent beings residing in it—Supertown—towered magnificently in the sky, alongside the clouds, overlooking and protecting the entire planet.
Highfather
His true name is Izaya, the eldest son of Yuga Khan, but since the creation of New Genesis, few have called him by his real name.
Within Supertown, only his son and a few of his trusted subordinates know his name.
Highfather had a rugged appearance, with white hair and a white beard framing his face, giving him the air of a majestic lion king. Beneath this fatherly majesty, he had a kind, stern, gentle, bright, caring, and warm gaze, loving all things in the world.
He was the father of all, carrying the love of a father, caring for everything in the universe.
Clad in white silk robes, adorned with golden buttons, simple yet dignified, draped casually over his tall and muscular frame.
Highfather stood at a corner of Supertown, his white hair and beard fluttering in the wild wind. He stood on the flawless city walls, made of jade-like stones, gazing into the distance at the lush forest-covered peaks of New Genesis, where animals engaged in the cycle of life and death within the ecosystem.
This reminded him of his and Darkseid's destiny.
He and Darkseid were, in a sense, the balance of this vast universe.
Darkseid, symbolizing darkness, power, cruelty, and tyranny, his existence held a special significance in the universe, with responsibilities unique to him.
Once this darkness was destroyed, it would disrupt the balance.
Uncontrollable gaps would appear in the ecosystem, ultimately leading to the destruction of all life in the vast universe.
Highfather felt deep pain and guilt in his heart. The constant confrontation with Darkseid made him realize clearly that Darkseid was an unreasonable, cruel, and tyrannical despot, completely different from himself.
So he had always wanted to kill Darkseid, to uphold his ideals and eliminate this adversary.
But on the other hand, Darkseid's influence was too great.
If Darkseid were to die, it would be difficult to maintain stability in the universe. Eventually, the universe would disintegrate, causing the death of countless lives. This was the reason for Highfather's guilt and pain.
Every time he approached the moment of facing Darkseid, Highfather felt genuine guilt and pain, yet he still exerted all his efforts to try to kill Darkseid.
But... he couldn't kill Darkseid at all.
So this guilt and pain were often considered by him to be overemotional concerns.
It was like a primary school student considering whether which famous university should they go in the future.
A sturdy figure, dressed in fiery red tight-fitting clothes, which accentuated the powerful and explosive lines of his muscles. His features were slightly coarse, and his eyes carried a fierce gleam. At a glance, one could tell he was a man with a tough and fiery temper. He stepped forward to a corner of the wall and said behind Izaya, "Father, the Kryptonian Emperor of Earth has sent an envoy to inform us that he will attend the banquet on New Genesis."
The speaker's name was Orion, Darkseid's second son.
For political reasons of ceasefire, the ruler of New Genesis, Highfather, and the ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid, exchanged their sons to maintain the ceasefire status.
Orion possessed immense power and was sent by Highfather to accompany him to this part of the universe.
"Is it necessary, Father? Although Darkseid in this universe is powerful, we, on New Genesis, have secretly recuperated from ancient cosmic wars and have gained enough strength to battle Apokolips," Orion's rugged face revealed a hint of dissatisfaction as he questioned. They had come into this universe since its inception, competing with other deities for sources, resources, training, and growth.
In the ancient cosmic war, taking advantage of the excuse of New Genesis being destroyed by the Kryptonian warships, they hid with a large amount of resources, recuperated, and nurtured powerful forces, preparing to annihilate Apokolips' Darkseid.
He didn't think they needed the Kryptonian Emperor of Earth's help.
After all, the era of the Kryptonians had already long passed.
Highfather shook his head bitterly, regret evident in his eyes. "The biggest mistake I made was withdrawing from the ancient cosmic war, allowing this universe to give birth to the most powerful Darkseid."
Orion wanted to refute. He believed that with himself and Highfather together, they could definitely overpower Darkseid.
He had been training for a long time, mastering all combat techniques, and had grown to the utmost extent. Planets were like toys that could be thrown around by him. Even stars would be disturbed by the gravitational force of his body, and he could even theoretically destroy any galaxy.
With himself being so powerful, plus Father's support, was Father saying they couldn't defeat Darkseid???
"When my essence entered this universe, important information was left behind. Darkseid has completed his strategy and become an indispensable part of the universe, a part of the duty in the multiverse."
"Darkseid's essence must have started to destroy the entire multiverse and planned to seize control of the entire multiverse."
"The multiverse began to operate according to a predetermined rule, evolving in each multiverse like a script. Darkseid is one of the characters in each script, representing darkness, tyranny, power, and cruelty, essential factors in the universe; likewise, he is also the inevitable cancer in the universe."
"According to the guidance from my essence, in each multiverse, there will be born a nemesis of Darkseid, who will be a Kryptonian carrying the hope of the multiverse's existence."
Highfather's regretful eyes became profound.
He received the information from his essence, and no matter what, he had to prevent the Darkseid of this universe from finding the Anti-Life Equation. He couldn't let the Darkseid of this universe merge with the Darkseid of other universes.
Once all the Darkseids of the multiverse merged, they would foster a Darkseid that would destroy from within the multiverse. In that case, Darkseid's essence would have the opportunity to find the source of the multiverse and completely control it.
If that happened, all beings in the multiverse would become like demons, with no hope left.
In this universe, there must be a Kryptonian representing the hope of the universe, struggling against Darkseid.
Similarly, they would also be the hope of New Genesis, of Highfather, to complete his sole mission.
