Reinforcements came from Epoch , the time - travel scientist finishing the machine that Darkseid needed , but Darkseid simply struck down Epoch ’s preceding self , forcing him to retool his own life to continue existing . But the League was bet on that . Cruz , displaying her newfound ability tooutthink even gods on the battlefield , had a program : since the attacking overlord would n’t want to gamble ruin the very machine he come for , he would be attacking to jade the defender down , not ruin their home office outright . Knowing this , she had the Justice League whittle back at Darkseid ’s force until she could deploy the genuine menace : the Eskaton , an extradimensional deitycreated to kill New Godsas their era of the DC Universe stop .
Darkseid is genuinely caught off sentry go as he realizes what his former mate has done - to the degree that the Eskaton like a shot puts him on the undercoat and set about to disintegrate him . The rest of the team stands by and watch in seismic disturbance and relief as the fauna does n’t just terminate the engagement , it threatens Darkseid ’s life . When Blackfire require Jessica whether the Eskaton will kill him , the Lantern answers " It should … it will . " With that level of assurance from someone who just route a god and his angelic regular army , and after the death of every other new New God that Darkseid has created ( with the exception of the reprogrammed Cyborg ) , it ’s looking likely that the lord of Apokolips ’s victory just dead and unexpectedly became a fatal frustration .
