If pain doesn't break them, mockery will.
Scene 1: Elias in the Phantom Zone – Audience of the Forgotten
Elias walks through the cold, fractured echoes of the Phantom Zone.
Wailing voices. Banished warlords. Exiled Kryptonians. Lost souls.
He strolls past them all—whistling.
Then, he stops.
Elias:
"You know, for a realm of the damned, this place's interior design screams 'Kryptonian overcompensation.'
All these spires and not one bar."
One of the inmates screams and lunges.
Without blinking, Elias blows his head off with Omega Flicker. Barely a hand twitch.
Elias (sighing):
"Next time, scream less. Cry harder. Be original."
The others go quiet.
Even in exile—they recognize a predator.
Scene 2: Earth – The UN Debrief (Aftermath)
World leaders panic. Elias just gave the speech of a lifetime—and now half of the military world wants in on the Omega Rebellion.
President of France:
"He walked into the UN and mocked us while frying their satellites from orbit—WITH A GLARE."
US Secretary of Defense:
"He told me to 'go cosplay as Nick Fury if I wanna feel important again.'"
Chinese Ambassador:
"He called me 'budget Ra's al Ghul' and then deactivated our nukes."
They sit in silence.
And then, Elias's face appears again—live-streamed into their war room.
Elias (grinning):
"Hey world leaders! Question: if I run unopposed for global overlord, does that mean I win by default or by fear?"
A pause.
Elias:
"Don't answer. Either way—I get the crown."
Scene 3: Justice League Regroup – Mental War
The League has gathered at a backup safehouse.
Superman's pacing. Diana's silent. Batman's still offline.
Then the holo-wall flickers.
Elias appears, sipping wine.
Elias:
"Ohhh look at you. Battered, bruised, and emotionally constipated. Is this the Justice League or a mid-season Netflix drama?"
Flash (nervous):
"What do you want?!"
Elias (leans in):
"Want? Barry, please.
You guys already gave me everything I wanted the moment you nerfed me."
He tilts his glass.
Elias:
"You taught me who I really am…
…a threat so bad even the capes turn fascist."
Superman glares.
Elias (mocking Kal-El):
"Still holding onto hope?
That farmboy optimism must be rotting under all that Kryptonian guilt."
Wonder Woman (growling):
"You speak only in poison."
Elias (smirking):
"Better than choking on delusion, sweetheart."
The feed cuts.
Scene 4: Council of Gods – Divine Panic
The gods reconvene. Golden halls quake.
Sky-Father:
"We must intervene. He mocks the pillars of the cosmos!"
Watcher-God:
"His mind… it reflects Darkseid's clarity, but with mortal spite."
Celestial Warden:
"His laughter is more terrifying than his power.
Because it tells the universe: 'I'm not angry—I'm just better.'"
They send a Herald of Silence—a divine hitman designed to erase.
Scene 5: Elias vs. Herald of Silence
The Herald descends—faceless, voiceless, pure null-energy.
Elias welcomes him with applause.
Elias:
"Oh, look! The gods sent their intern.
Let me guess—you mute 'cause you're ugly or because you're legally not allowed to speak until you finish your celestial training wheels?"
The Herald attacks with soul-erasing force.
Elias blocks it… with his pinky.
Then he counters with a whisper.
"Symbol Shatter."
The Herald staggers.
Even a god doubts himself under Elias's aura.
He walks up and slaps the divine being across the face.
Elias:
"Tell your bosses:
Next time, send someone who doesn't cry on the inside."
Scene 6: Elias at the Resistance Hub – Mocking Recruits
The resistance has grown. Hundreds, maybe thousands now.
Elias walks through the camp, judging every detail.
He stops in front of a bulky meta-human with a warhammer.
Elias:
"You swing that thing like it owes you rent.
Try hitting something other than your own ego."
He passes a sniper polishing his rifle.
Elias:
"Cute scope. You trying to shoot justice, or just your career?"
Then he steps onto a platform.
Elias (loudly):
"You're not rebels. Not yet. You're angry kids with trauma and a god complex.
But don't worry... we'll forge all that into something useful."
He points toward the sky.
"The gods?
They watch.
They whisper.
But me?
I talk loud enough to make their heavens tremble."
Final Scene: Darkseid Speaks Again
A faint ripple of space.
A hologram of Darkseid—finally watching Elias, unmoving.
Darkseid:
"You laugh like a tyrant, but bleed like a mortal."
Elias (smiling):
"And yet here you are… watching me."
Darkseid's eyes narrow.
Darkseid:
"You climb. You mock. But eventually, all mortals break."
Elias:
"Then break me, old man.
Just make sure you bring more than holograms and bedtime threats."
The signal ends.
But Elias looks to the stars and whispers:
"It's almost time for you to kneel too."
