Unicron bit deep into Apokolips, shattering a portion of the planet's crust, spilling fire and debris out into space. In complete disarray, the Army of Darkness attempted to concentrate their fire but were hindered by a counter-attack by the reinvigorated and regrouped Army of the Light. Then Unicron transformed into his humanoid form and plunged his hand into one of the Hell-Pits, as the other one swatted away Shadow vessels and Star Destroyers.
Then Darkseid floated up from the planet, his eyes flaring with energy. His Omega Beams cut through Unicron repeatedly, causing terrible damage to its systems. Despite being heavily wounded, the giant Transformer repeatedly struck the world, threatening to split it completely open. Eventually, it could not stand the attack any longer and mighty Unicron retreated, and its scarred and wounded form left the battlefield and entered Hyperspace.
The damage was done. Apokolips was in ruins and the Army of Darkness was in full retreat. The mighty swarms of parademons swiftly moved to the fore and were able to momentarily stem the advance, but the fleets of the Light, backed by the massive firepower of Warworld Nul, seemed unstoppable. The bodies of hundreds of thousands of Parademons burned up in the Apokopian atmosphere, a literal rain of fire in the sky complimenting the inferno on the surface.
The Mythic Avengers had been trying to seek out the Lord of Apokolips to confront him, but the massive scale of the planet had initially made that task very difficult. With his emergence to deal with Unicron, they knew exactly where he was. But was the Sword of Power, the Whtie Lantern, and the Mark of Cain enough to deal with the Omega Beams? With the combined power of the Mark and her godhood, she could probably survive a singular blast...but would they need to put that to the test?
As they descended towards the Palace-City, they saw Darkseid standing on its roof. He looked out into space and gazed upon his fractured armada and the unrelenting advance of his enemies. With little visible emotion, he turned to the arriving Mythic Avengers and smiled darkly.
"You wish to end this and so do I. The Fourth World is ending; Let us decide who chooses the Fifth".
With his eyes glowing with the Omega Effect, he clenched his fists and readied himself for combat. The final Battle was about to commence.
