Chapter 26: Chapter 24: A Clash with Darkseid
Kai had come a long way since his arrival in the DC Universe. With his newfound abilities—his mastery over fire, his control over the elements, the ancient wisdom granted by the Helmet of Fate, and the raw fury of the Red Lantern Ring—he had begun to reshape the world around him. His team was coming together, a volatile mix of heroes, villains, assassins, and magic users. He was no longer just a child of Odin, a reincarnated soul in a strange new world. He was Kai, a force to be reckoned with.
But there was one enemy who loomed larger than all the rest. Darkseid, the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips, a being whose power rivaled that of the gods themselves, was watching. His eyes had turned toward Kai, sensing the latent cosmic energies the boy possessed. Darkseid knew that Kai, with his powerful emotions and raw magical potential, was a threat to his plans to conquer the universe.
Kai's team had barely begun to solidify their place in the world, and already, they were being hunted by one of the most fearsome beings alive.
