7 PM
Within the interrogation room. Erix was currently sitting with a handcuff in his hands having been brought by the justice league as precaution seeing he was a bigger threat than Darkseid himself!
It was suggested by the one and only paranoid Batman. Erix was unfazed and simply did it out of boredom since they won't be able to do anything. As for Jean Grey and Ravens they were being interrogated by Black Canary and weren't as intense as Batman.
"Now talk. What are you and why have you come here? You couldn't simply do this out of kindness."
Batman tried to look menacing but Erix knew exactly what he was. Without the narrative focus on him then he is nothing but a man in a bat suit.
"Let me ask you this, then what's stopping me from doing anything against you and your little team?"
Erix smiled at him and Batman scowled hearing his words. Logically it was true that if he was stronger and overwhelmed Darkseid in one sided fight then what's stopping him from ending their life?
However, he refused to give up and accept someone a threat like Erix would be running around. Batman then saw him vanished then turned around shocked that he was looking at him a moment ago.
"I don't even know where you get that stubbornness." Erix said who was currently leaning on the walls nonchalantly. Batman turned who was tensed ready to fight and attack him while he scoffed at his action.
"Your action is either admirable or foolish. Surely you don't mean to challenge me. Stupidity of this magnitude can't possibly exist."
He said standing in front of Batman looking down at him where even though the man before him was afraid and felt certain death was upon him did not yield and showed an amazing perseverance.
"You bore me, you know that, Bruce Wayne." He said, appearing back to his chair having his legs on top of the table.
"I swear I can feel Batman's blood rising." Green Arrow said watching from the two way mirror watching the interrogation
"Can you read this mind, J'onn?" Superman also remained and joined them to observe their new company and beside him was the Martian Manhunter.
"I couldn't. His mental barrier is too strong. Or rather he is completely devoid of any psychic link." Martian Manhunter answered.
"You sure it's alright to let bats be alone with that guy?" Shazam was worried for Batman since he is just a human without any powers.
"I trust Batman can handle it and if we sense any hostility we'll all join in." Superman reassured Billy Batson while back at the room, Batman frowned hearing his secret identity being revealed.
"Just answer the question." Batman slammed his fist on the table putting a dent on it while Erix whistled seeing this.
"Who are you trying to scare?" Erix said, folding his arms still unfazed by Batman's action.
"I have no time for your games. It's whether we do this the easy or the hard way." Batman said, looking intently at Erix.
"Let's see, how about…my way?" They all saw him vanish from the interrogation room scaring everyone.
"He disappeared!?"
Someone exclaimed as the heroes became alert only to pause to turn to the owner of the voices to see Erix behind them. None of them could even since his arrival and shaken their boots.
"Sheesh you all too damn stiff. Well, here I'm back, Happy?" Erix vanished once more as if he never was there and appeared back at the chair infuriating Batman.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Jeez, I can't believe you keep asking about myself when I just told you I'm not into men." Erix said one last joke and shifted his demeanor faster than they could even think.
"I am Erix Khan, Emperor of the Crimson Asurayasha Empire in the world of Central Axis Verse. My goal is simple: challenge Darkseid and defeat him." He spoke with elegance and grace that was in complete contrast with his playful demeanor from earlier.
"It is up to you if you wish to believe for I could care less unless you don't annoy me then I won't do anything against you."
It wasn't a complete lie since they were there to help and fight Darkseid and his army. However, his end goal was similar to Darkseid. The conquest of all existence itself.
Though, he is not the same as Darkseid who wishes to enslave them. Erix wishes to conquer and rule standing at the pinnacle of all creation. A Monarch of Creatio Ex Nihilo.
His completion is vast and could feel the Great Darkness that made the Anti-Life Equation. Erix had analyzed it and created his own version meaning his link with that entity was gone. He won't be able to defeat the Absence when he has not yet reached the Presence.
Unless he manages to conquer and acquire everything within DC Cosmology. Erix has to plunder old gods and new gods in order to achieve what he was about to do. Erix would set his cards and would plan on recreating the universe in his perfect images.
"However, if you get in my way and cause trouble for me then do not blame me for being unreasonable. You are not the hero of this story. I am. Learn your place, fool."
Batman fell to his knees as he could move from his spot while Erix began to walk outside where the other heroes sprung to action ready to fight him.
"I am in no mood for battle. You all lived because I allowed it and you all will end when I desire it. Anyway, you, Child of Rao." Erix pointed at Superman's surprise hearing the god of his home-world.
"You are more reasonable, I have a few things I wish to inform you." Among the comic book characters, he likes Superman more than Batman since he is more reasonable and manageable compared to the Dark knight.
Clark nodded as he took him to a more relaxing place where it overlooked the earth leaving Batman to the care of the other heroes trusting Superman to keep him tame.
"The goth girl who was with me belongs to this reality unlike me and that other woman, Phoenix. Her origin is complicated and I hoped you all let her join the teen titans for the time being?"
It was unfortunate that he can't bring Raven back to his home-world but satisfied enough if she was kept safe. Superman was caught off by surprise seeing him having a caring side after what showed earlier.
"She is vital in the future against someone far stronger than Darkseid."
Erix said thinking about Raven's well being despite being someone who is selfish but this extends solely to those that he has interest in.
He was holding back earlier but now he is aiming for Raven's heart along with the rest of the chat group members. It only matters of time in the narrative there in any way.
"Are you our ally or our enemy?" Superman asked, hoping that he was their ally seeing someone this powerful can't be left alone no matter what while Erix glances at him.
"Neither. I'm neutral."
Erix said grinning and Superman didn't expect at his words but accepted that he was not outright someone that would be their enemy.
The Crimson Monarch looked at the world below and spread his senses across dimensions pinpointing someone that he wished to acquire.
'What would happen if I absorbed Dr. Manhattan. Would I reach the same level as The Darkest Night?'
Erix only wanted to be at the top and quenched his craving. If he could scale outerversal where none of the creatures in Tensura can even hope to touch even Veldanava itself.
{ Fufufu you decided to stop holding back huh? } Amaia commented having seen his master holding back in getting more power because he was afraid but now he has reawakened and is eager to get stronger.
[ It is possible. Do though wish for I to look for him? ] Arryn asked, pleased to see his master showing signs of what he meant to be. A creature Beyond Absolute power
'Yes, look for a version that is just turning into one.' Erix said glancing over, sensing Jean and Raven arriving following Wonder Woman.
He had to admit that Diana was a top tier woman who is not only beautiful but also strong. She noticed his gaze and felt instantly mesmerized feeling her heart pulled.
"They're clear, they told us that their mission was for Darkseid and nothing more." Wonder woman said to superman who nodded.
"Alright, we also discussed that young girl going to join the teen titans." Clark said surprised Raven looking at Erix who gave her telepathic voicemail and explained the reason surprising her. She reluctantly accepted and appreciated that he was worried for her.
Some time later, the justice league decided to have a meeting to discuss what they need to do against their unknown possible threat.
The group was recently taken by Diana for some dinner since they asked to eat something and Wonder woman was tasked with keeping them in check.
They all wore normal clothes and went to New York to have some dinner at a diner where they all sat down where Erix sat between Jean and Raven as they ordered their meal. Wonder Woman finds the young man to be strange since he is vastly different than when he fought against Darkseid.
"So, can you tell us about this world a bit more? Raven here was born here but the two of us are not."
Erix asked lean closer trying to entice Wonder woman who smiled began to tell about herself and slowly began to affect her with the other woman beside Erix also began to feel their heart going to burst. Wonder Woman was shocked to learn that he was ruler of the country and showed interest in her homeland.
"Hope to see what kind of a place a beauty like you came from." Erix flirted and she simply smiled while Raven punched him showing her jealousy and not even questioning the sudden closeness that she felt toward Erix.
"Well, I'm also curious what kind of empire someone like you had attained." Diana said as their food soon came and began to eat, enjoying the simple meal.
[ I have found 10 versions of dr. Manhattan yond can use for thy ascension ] Arryn informed him as Erix distorted the space and went to find where the Dr. Manhattan was basically being Omnipresence because of [ Lord of the rift Ginnungagap ].
Erix senses that he is in a different space time axis and felt something was rejecting him glancing at an empty space. He grinned at the scale of his future self that had now shifted and reformed even the one he witnessed before at the elf brothel was one of the future if he didn't obtain Chat group but now he is going to transcend higher realm of impossibility.
At that moment, Dr. Manhattan appeared having reconstructed himself back and without a moment of hesitation reached out engulfed the entirety of the being who was supposed to be one of the most powerful beings that transcends reality.
[ Analyzed. ]
[ Error. Error. Error ]
[ System update…. ]
Erix felt his craving ascending an infinite hierarchy of power defying every law and meaning becoming more than mere avatar of a man. His Mind, Body, Soul and every single fiber of his being was morphing into something beyond the absolute power.
He is able to feel like he's plunging rather than ascending into the infinite hierarchy of cosmic scale where he was below all. An absolute Zero. Below even the Darkness itself.
His began to disappear where he once was arriving somewhere he could not describe in words and sentences. He however can know that he's looking at everything all at once from the big bang to the end of all things.
Erix could see his form that had become a non-corporeal where his nothing but mere abstract concept. He reached out across every event that concluded Despair and absorbed all Energy in the DC Omniverse.
[ You have acquired Crisis and Anti-crisis energy ]
He plunged in an infinite layer into complete uncertainty until he could "Sense" something. It was far yet close that can only be described as a prismatic Kaleidoscope that is constantly changing and moving as Erix took it and felt an explosion of power.
[ You acquired Immeasurable Taikyou ]
[ You have become a Hegemony God ]
Erix now found himself taking the pleasure of being liberated by the scale of power itself. He Transcend the entire DC Omniverse from the Sphere of gods to the Sixth Dimension looking at everything like they are fiction allowing him to draw whatever he desires.
"Hehe…hehehe…" He could help but laugh that gradually turned into maniac laugh exploding in whatever plane of existence he was now. His form turned into his Spiritual form of the Scarlet king. The unbound. Unrestricted The Lord of the Throne of Despair had descended upon all.
He is yet the Scarlet Demon that scales above him. Yet Erix was now almost Immeasurable, especially his Law manifested capable of affecting reality. It is beyond Absolute. A supreme Law of all creation.
"ꃅ̶̟̤͕̥̭̊̊̂̒ꍏ̴̡̧͙͎̲̞̅̈́̄̄ͅꃅ̵̱̺̂͐̈́̎̔̓ꍏ̸͖̮̺̠͍̫̖͙̈́̈́͠ꃅ̵̲̯̝̜̀͆͌̽̀͜͝͝ꍏ̴̧̢̞͙̝̎̾̒̕ꃅ̸̨̣͇͙̺͇͗̐ͅꍏ̷̥̯̹̲̫͉͂̎̒̋̀̕͝ꃅ̶̘̀̅̅̚ꍏ̴͕͉̘͚́͒̍̈́͋. "
His laughter became howl that every known creation briefly heard and entities like the Quintessence, Trigon, Perputua felt the entire DC Omniverse to vibrate only for everything to forget except those who were powerful enough but even then their action would prove futile and fuel Erix.
"This surprised someone like you to be here."
