Chapter 1076: The Dark Lord’s End

At this moment, Darkseid was both shocked and furious. Before obtaining the Anti-Life Equation, he had already been no match for Robert. Now, even with the Anti-Life Equation, he still couldn’t defeat Robert. Had he gained the Equation for nothing?

Although Robert had transformed from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan God, Darkseid couldn’t accept this reality. His eyes burned with hatred as he glared at Robert, who had once again appeared before him.

Darkseid wanted to find Robert’s weakness, to seize an opportunity to turn the tide, or to exploit some flaw in Robert’s attacks so he could use the Anti-Life Equation to ambush Robert.

Slowly wearing Robert down like he had done with Clark was unrealistic. But if he unleashed the full power of the Anti-Life Equation in one sudden burst, Darkseid was confident it would affect Robert!

"Boom!"

However, Darkseid’s plans were shattered before they could even take shape. Robert’s combat state and his current ruthless state were two completely different modes.

In combat mode, Robert immersed himself in the fight, enjoying it while using various techniques to battle his opponent. Generally, Robert wanted such battles to last as long as possible.

But in his ruthless state, Robert was utterly merciless. Right now, Darkseid couldn’t even lock onto Robert’s position because Robert was moving too fast.

Robert’s instant teleportation was far beyond Darkseid’s reaction speed, and Robert’s reappearance was unpredictable. Although he always appeared near Darkseid, his position changed each time, leaving Darkseid completely unable to anticipate his movements.

Darkseid had tried setting traps around himself to ambush Robert, but unfortunately, Robert’s Super Saiyan God state was surrounded by an aura of destruction. This aura alone was enough to dismantle any traps Darkseid set, rendering his efforts futile.

"Where did this guy come from? Why can’t even the Anti-Life Equation affect the power he’s unleashing?" Darkseid’s mind was filled with confusion. He couldn’t accept what was happening, yet he felt powerless to stop it.

Darkseid’s strength had significantly increased since obtaining the Anti-Life Equation. With it, he could easily amass a vast army and dominate the universe and even multiple dimensions.

This wasn’t an impossible feat. As Clark’s current state showed, anyone unable to resist the Anti-Life Equation’s power would eventually fall under its control.

Some dimensional beings might not change their personalities after being controlled, but they would still struggle to break free from Darkseid’s influence.

From this perspective, Darkseid could effortlessly create a larger and more powerful Apokolips army than ever before!

Unfortunately, this was a dream Darkseid couldn’t fulfill because he now faced an insurmountable obstacle—Robert. Darkseid had no way to deal with him…

"No! Maybe there’s a way!" Suddenly, Darkseid thought of something. His gaze shifted to Clark, who had once again dodged him and was charging toward Robert.

"That’s right! This Kryptonian under my control is the perfect opportunity. Even if I don’t know their exact relationship, they’re definitely allies. If I use this Kryptonian as leverage, I can surely gain something!"

With this thought, Darkseid didn’t even need to speak. Clark immediately stopped moving. In Darkseid’s mind, Robert would surely notice Clark’s abnormality and halt his attacks, giving Darkseid a chance to catch his breath and figure out how to counter Robert’s destructive power.

"Boom!"

But to Darkseid’s surprise, Robert didn’t even glance at Clark. He continued his relentless assault, landing another punch on Darkseid. This time, half of Darkseid’s arm was completely destroyed.

Darkseid was sent flying again, his expression grim as he stared at his ruined arm. From the moment Robert’s destructive power injured him, Darkseid had tried to heal his wounds.

As the leader of the New Gods and a top-tier cosmic being, Darkseid’s physical resilience and healing abilities surpassed even Clark’s. He could recover from injuries inflicted by beings of his level with ease.

Moreover, Darkseid possessed the formidable Omega Energy, which contained the rules of life and death. In a sense, Omega Energy could even resurrect the dead, showcasing its immense power.

But even such powerful Omega Energy couldn’t heal the wounds inflicted by Robert’s destructive force.

"Don’t you care about his life?!" Darkseid, now ignoring his lost arm, glared at Robert and shouted, his gaze shifting to Clark.

"Huh?" Robert raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Clark. Seeing Clark standing still, Robert’s expression showed a hint of surprise.

If it weren’t for Darkseid’s threat, Robert might have thought Clark’s self-awareness had awakened and he was resisting Darkseid’s control.

"Thud!"

As if to prove he could indeed manipulate Clark, Darkseid willed Clark to plunge his hand into his own abdomen. Blood immediately gushed from the wound.

"His consciousness is entirely under my control. With a single thought, I can make him end himself. Even if you kill me, I can take him with me before I die!" Darkseid’s voice echoed in Robert’s ears, causing Robert to raise an eyebrow.

"That impressive? So, what’s your point?" Robert asked calmly, his expression showing little change.

"There’s no enmity between us. You’re from Earth, but I won’t attack Earth again," Darkseid said. While he wanted to push his luck, the thought of Robert’s instant teleportation and destructive power made him decide to compromise.

After all, asking Robert to commit suicide by controlling Clark was absurd, and Darkseid knew Robert would never agree. A truce was the only viable outcome.

Of course, if an opportunity arose, Darkseid wouldn’t hesitate to seek revenge. In his mind, he had already planned to invade other dimensions after the truce, control their powerful beings, and then return to fight Robert.

Although Robert was incredibly strong, Darkseid didn’t believe he was the most powerful being in the universe and dimensions. With enough controlled subordinates, Darkseid could overwhelm Robert, no matter how strong he was.

Even if Robert had the bug-like ability of instant teleportation, Darkseid could simply hide in a dimension and let his controlled minions do the fighting. How could Robert reach him then?

These thoughts flashed through Darkseid’s mind, but his expression remained unchanged. Hiding his emotions was second nature to him.

"What about Clark? If you don’t release him, isn’t it the same as killing him?" Robert nodded in understanding, then pointed at Clark, whose hand was still buried in his abdomen.

"Releasing him now is impossible. How can I be sure you won’t attack me once he’s free?" Darkseid replied, pretending to be conflicted.

In truth, Darkseid didn’t want to let go of Clark, a top-tier fighter already under his control. Moreover, Darkseid’s concern was valid—if he released Clark and Robert attacked immediately, Darkseid would be killed on the spot.

"Whoosh!"

Hearing Darkseid’s words, Robert fell silent for a moment. He glanced at Clark, then subtly moved his finger. A small bottle appeared in his hand, causing Darkseid to tense immediately.

"Don’t worry, it’s just water. I like to drink something while I think," Robert said, holding the side of the bottle with the words "Great Demon" written on it. He smiled at Darkseid, opened the lid, pretended to take a sip, and then tossed the bottle aside.

Darkseid wasn’t so easily convinced. He remained vigilant, ready to make Clark kill himself at any moment if Robert made a move.

But when he saw the bottle and lid floating in mid-air without any unusual activity, Darkseid relaxed slightly.

"Look here!"

Just as Darkseid let his guard down, Robert sent a powerful mental shockwave through telepathy, momentarily disorienting Darkseid and causing him to stagger.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, the light of the Mafuba technique appeared in Robert’s hand. Robert executed the technique with incredible speed. In an instant, Clark’s body was enveloped by the Mafuba. By the time Darkseid regained his senses, he saw Clark’s body being sealed into the bottle.

"You!" Darkseid’s pupils contracted sharply. He immediately tried to activate the Anti-Life Equation. If Robert wasn’t willing to compromise, he would make Clark die first!

But as the bottle’s lid was sealed, Darkseid realized he had completely lost contact with Clark. He could no longer issue commands to Clark, let alone make him kill himself.

The Mafuba technique was simply too overpowered. Robert had tested it many times before.

Even dimensional consciousnesses and powers couldn’t communicate with beings sealed inside the Mafuba bottle. While the Anti-Life Equation was powerful, it didn’t surpass the consciousness of dimensions, especially the Hell Dimension.

"Whoosh!"

The moment Darkseid realized he couldn’t control Clark, he vanished, charging toward the bottle. But Robert was faster, and the bottle was already in his control.

Robert appeared in front of Darkseid, casually storing the bottle away and giving Darkseid no chance to act.

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, Robert continued his assault. His intent to kill Darkseid was now unmistakable. Even though Darkseid was a rare opponent, Clark’s current state meant Darkseid had to die first.

Even if the Anti-Life Equation’s power was strange, without a controller to suppress and manipulate it, Clark’s strength would allow him to overcome the control.

Thus, Robert didn’t change his approach. He continued to use his destructive power to relentlessly attack Darkseid.

As Robert’s strength grew and his opponents became more powerful, his battles naturally lasted longer.

The lifeforce and healing abilities of his enemies were far beyond what they used to be. Immortality was practically a standard trait for these beings, and their recovery speed, even under Robert’s suppression, couldn’t be completely halted unless their injuries were severe.

But now, with Robert’s destructive power, his enemies’ recovery was effectively cut off. Even a being as powerful as Darkseid was rapidly approaching death under the relentless assault.

Of course, if Robert could unleash a full-powered Destructo Disc, Darkseid would die even faster. But the problem was that Robert still needed time to charge up such an attack.

Even with instant teleportation, hitting a prepared Darkseid with the Destructo Disc wouldn’t be easy. Missing would be a waste, so Robert opted to slowly wear Darkseid down.

Faced with Robert’s steady and relentless attacks, Darkseid had no way to counter them. Gradually, he approached his end…
