**Chapter 669: Do you think the Mother Box is my only trump card?**
Fierce explosions frequently echoed deep within the Blood Realm, interrupting numerous probing gazes.
This was not unexpected. After so many years in the Multiverse, who knows how many lost, native Quasi-Singular Gods of the Multiverse were lurking. Even the slightest disturbance couldn't escape the notice of these old geezers.
Furthermore, with the Fifth Dimension, a bug world, nothing in the Multiverse could be hidden from those who actively sought to investigate.
They knew that the New Gods had once again clashed with the veteran Darkseid.
"The God of Apokolips is the true master of the Mother Box, so when the New Gods wield the Mother Box in battle, they are bound to be greatly restricted by Darkseid."
"You're wrong about that. The true master of the Mother Box is Darkseid's father... However, that terrifying individual disappeared a very, very long time ago."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, speaking of which, is the newly emerged Singular God's situation really that difficult? How many has he fought against already?"
"What else do you expect? A Singular God is a treasure. If it weren't for the fear of being killed by the New Gods, I would have rushed over and killed him long ago. Only the most powerful beings are qualified to survive, even a Singular God is no exception, and the demands placed on a Singular God will only be higher."
"That's truly dangerous. So if we want to become Singular Gods..."
"You'd need at least the means and strength of the New Gods. Otherwise, even achieving Deification would be seeking death."
"Truly difficult..."
"I think Darkseid will win. Without the Mother Box, the New Gods' own Combat Power is still inferior to Darkseid's Clones, not by a long shot."
The Doomsday King Kong and Darkseid were locked in fierce combat, and this had long been noticed by many individuals, but Darkseid and Tony paid no mind. In their eyes, there was only the thought of killing each other.
Darkseid's face was terrifyingly grim. He looked at the Metal Being, which could now barely trade a few blows with him. This reminded him of the scene when he had fought the Ancient Doomsday on Apokolips.
His mood soured even further.
"Hand over the Technology to create this thing to me, and I'll leave immediately!"
Darkseid punched the Doomsday King Kong away, producing a grating sound of metal colliding, then turned to Tony, his expression utterly serious.
"If you had said something like that to me from the beginning, I might have considered it. But you're only talking about this after you've already made your move, how could I possibly trust you?" Tony stood behind the Mother Box Barrier, leisurely watching the show.
Darkseid said seriously: "Because I didn't expect you to succeed."
"Do you think you're the only one who's thought of replicating the Ancient Doomsday's miracle?"
"Do you think you're the only one who failed one hundred thirty million times?"
"Many more have tried to restore the Ancient Doomsday, but they only met with repeated failures. Many unlucky fools even created uncontrollable inferior products, who then turned on and killed their weak creators."
Darkseid stood, his voice low and indifferent, his expression utterly serious: "Hand over every bit of the Technology you possess to me, and give me the Mother Box, and I will return to Apokolips."
"Bullshit." Tony spat out two words.
Darkseid remained indifferent.
"You'd get all the benefits, what would I get?" Tony's smile carried immense malice.
Darkseid said seriously: "I will no longer interfere in your affairs. That is the greatest benefit. Whether in the past or the future, everything you've done, the immense damage you've caused to Apokolips, will no longer be an issue. I never lie."
Tony mused.
The Doomsday King Kong once again erupted into action, roaring at the two of them.
Tony's cold gaze swept over it. The Doomsday King Kong roared at him, then charged at Darkseid once more.
Tony pondered Darkseid's words, his palm touching the Mother Box Barrier, lost in thought.
The enmity with Apokolips had to be resolved, otherwise, Tony would face immense trouble. Innumerable Darkseid Clones were a real problem Tony had to confront.
The cold sensation from the Mother Box Barrier cleared Tony's mind slightly. Tony looked towards the battlefield. The Doomsday King Kong was still being suppressed, but it now possessed the ability to retaliate.
Level Seven Energy Waves were erupting from the Doomsday King Kong in layers, each stronger than the last, frantically striving to cross the Cosmic Chasm between the Single Entity Level and the Multiversal Level.
To be precise, the Doomsday King Kong already had one foot in the Cosmic Chasm. With just one more step, it could cross it.
Tony estimated that the current Doomsday King Kong was probably no weaker than the Red Lantern Hulk. Within the Single Entity Level, it had already reached its peak.
In such a short time, it had transformed from a weakling into a being not inferior to Tony. What a frantic growth rate! Darkseid, who was responsible for feeding it moves, deserved much credit.
A vast amount of Omega Beams erupted. Darkseid's face was gloomy, as he fiercely battled the berserk Doomsday King Kong, shattering all Space-Time and parts of the Blood Realm.
"I will give you a portion of the Technology, and a portion of the Mother Boxes as well," Tony suddenly said.
Darkseid's cold gaze fixed on him. Tony met it with composure and a sneer.
The Singular God's Information Aggregates had long been clashing.
"This isn't a good solution," Darkseid slowly said.
"If you don't agree, I'll hand these over to New Genesis. Highfather would be very happy to team up with me against you," Tony sneered.
Darkseid struck the Doomsday King Kong away with an Omega Beam, then turned his head to Tony: "No one dictates terms to me. Everyone who has tried to dictate terms has died."
"That's because they weren't me. Not only will I not die, but I will also grow at a terrifying pace. I am a Singular God born of the Multiverse, a native of the Multiverse. Though the Speed Force Wall detests me, it won't easily repel me. I am safe. It's difficult for the true forms of you gods to reach the Multiverse."
Tony patted a Mother Box, saying indifferently: "Four Mother Boxes can allow your true form to break through the restrictions of the Speed Force Wall and enter the Multiverse. Therefore, it's impossible for me to hand over all the Mother Boxes to you. That would be of no benefit to me."
"Greedy fellow." Darkseid was noncommittal.
"And a smart one, too." Tony retorted.
Darkseid seized the Doomsday King Kong's head, his body moving slightly from the impact, then immediately slammed a punch down. The Doomsday King Kong's entire body was blasted downwards, its skull clearly showing a massive indentation.
"The Technology for creating Doomsday, I don't want it to contain any false information. You know the consequences of such an action. I never lie, but I also never forgive those who lie to me," Darkseid slowly said.
Tony nodded: "Lying won't benefit me. I'll give you half of the Technology. As for what you can research and develop from it, that's got nothing to do with me."
Darkseid snorted coldly, and extended his hand towards him.
Tony transmitted a portion of the Information Aggregate, then, after a moment's thought, he tore off a Mother Box and threw it to Darkseid.
"Without a complete Mother Box, what will you use to contend with Multiversal Level enemies?" Darkseid asked.
Tony sneered: "Do you think the Mother Box is my only trump card?"
