As the League gathered at what remained of Arkham Asylum Batman who was at the front turned around to address Diana.
"Your friend Justinian did this."
She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Diana was conflicted because she considered Justinian a friend, someone who understood what it meant to be a Demigod. Someone who was like her more than her friends, but at the same time she knew Justinian was tempered through wars they could not understand.
It had already been months since she had last spoken with her friend, but it was because of him she met her twin brother. She even met with Hephestus after learning where all male Amazonians went.
It caused a big fight between her and her mother Hippotyla. Diana felt it was far too cruel what the Amazons did for centuries. Mating with sailors only to kill them and then throwing the male babies into the sea.
Hippotyla for a long time allowed that until Hephestus was the one to change her mind. Now, that she had been with her brother for a while she felt she owed Justinian a debt.
She wouldn't blame Justinian yet.
"How do you know for a fact it was him? Did he admit it himself or did you see him do this?"
Batman turned to Cyborg who answered for him.
"It's true Diana, when I and Batman were working on the Bat Computer Justinian uploaded a virus into it causing it to crash and transform into a mechanical creature. When we dealt with it, Justinian magically told us to stop trying to make a contingency for him as Batman has not stopped.
He also threatened him that he could end up dead if he did not stop. To me, that pretty much speaks of guilt."
Diana sighed as that was pretty much guaranteeing what she didn't want to know.
"I see."
Superman turned to Batman as he was one of those who didn't like Batman's contingencies for the League.
"In a way I can see why he dislikes you, even I feel betrayed by your paranoia. Seems like you found your mirror in Justinian."
Hearing that instantly made Bruce angry.
"We are nothing alike, I am not a Warlord or a transhuman who has lived longer than human civilization. Justinian is deranged and no different from Darkseid even if he masks it behind his supposed humanity.
If you ask me, there isn't a trace of humanity left in Justinian or the Custodes."
Big Barda crossed her arms as she remembered the last time she saw the giant Custodes. She didn't even talk to him when he stopped Klarion the Witch Boy.
"Then there is also the fact he has the pact with Klarion, for returning his cat he is owed a favor."
Doctor Fate crossed his arms as if that could be anything.
"Klarion, the number of dark rituals in the mind of a Lord of Chaos when partnered with a magic user like Justinian are endless. When I saw Justinian and how he used his magic, I knew he was not using Order Magic.
He is not using Chaos Magic either which makes it all the more strange. Justinian doesn't ask or request when he uses magic, he forces it to obey."
Giovani nodded.
"I noticed that as well, in that fight with Klarion, he used a lot of magic and with no chants. He just brute-forced it. I also fear what could Klarion and Justinian do if they decide to use magic to cause lasting damage to us or Earth."
Diana shook her head.
"No. Justinian wouldn't risk anything that would destroy the Earth. He told me about why Terra is so important to him. It is the cradle of Mankind, it was where he was born and where he served with loyalty for 10,000 years.
He wouldn't damage his home planet like that. He let me know how much he loves the life of Earth."
J'onn looked down as he remembered Remnosh who mocked him for the wiping of his race. Her entire race had butchered his and now Justinian was considered their Emperor.
"If he can take over Mars like he did, it means he is preparing for a second invasion and that is why he needed Klarion's favor. A way to soften Earth for when he arrives in force."
Diana looked up at the night sky to where Mars was. When she looked back, she shook her head as she pushed her friendship back to speak rationally.
"Doctor Fate, would you know any rituals that a Chaos Lord could cast to get an effect like what Justinian would want? Something to keep the planet unharmed while weakening the League or the Earth's defenses."
Fate began to ponder that as Nabu was a Lord of Order, not Chaos. Though, he still had seen their work in the past.
"Several, but guessing which one won't help us. We must prepare regardless for his eventual invasion."
The League members gathered Batman, Superman Aquaman, J'oon J'onzz, Hal Jordon, John Stewert, Big Barda, Diana, Doctor Fate, Giovani Zatara, Hawkgirl and Hawkman, Cyborg and several others who were not here would fight to defend Earth.
Be they from aliens like The Reach, gods, mages, or conquerors like Darkseid and Justinian.
---
While the League finally designated him an enemy, Justinian in his lab looked toward Terra with a smile. Remnosh who saw him looking like that reached out and held his armored hand. He rarely removed anything other than his helmet.
"What is wrong?"
"The League has agreed that I am an enemy, they know partially part of my plan to use Klarion."
Justinian shook his head as he knew that Diana still held hope, but she would stop him if he tried to invade her home. Though 'he' wasn't going to be doing that himself.
'Right, my friends?'
[Right, I have been itching for a real fight since I arrived in this reality. In our previous peak as Heavenly Dragons, we nearly destroyed the Underworld which is as vast as the Earth if not more. As Dragon Gods, we can blow up planets and stars with ease.
Much less when we use our true powers.]
Justinian shook his head as he hooked Slade and Ra's to the same machine he had the three Kryptonian clones hooked up to. He was still collecting their blood and he would likely keep them like that until he had more than enough of their DNA for his future cloning.
The same would go for Slade and Ra's who he planned to use as a template for his clone army like the Kamino Jango Fet Clones. He planned to take the genetics of Ra's who had been modified by his long-term use of the Lazarus Pit and Slade who was a Super Soldier.
Once he had a proper genetic template using these two, he planned to add in a diluted genetic mixture from Super Boy the Clone that had a decent chunk of human DNA.
In that way, his future clones would have the best of the genetics of Ra's Al Ghoul and his Lazurus Pit enhanced genetics, Slade's Super Soldier, and some Kryptonians. When he got to work, he repeated his previous work with all three genetic sources.
In less than an hour, he had a proper genetic template he would be able to use to make his clones. Of course, he was not the one who was going to be in charge of cloning millions of these Slade Ra's Conner clones.
Instead, he would leave that to a proper cloning facility to make these clones on mass. His Martian Space Marines like in 40k were troops meant to fight in the most dangerous of battles.
His army of clones would instead serve as the rank and file guardsman of his Imperium. However, he would need to grant them a name worthy of being the main army for the Great Crusade.
They would invade planets for him while his Martians and any other powerful alien race he managed to subjugate would form his Special Troops. Justinian smiled to himself at the purified genetic source he would use.
"Soundwave, automate this process for me."
Soundwave was not just an A.I that Justinian programmed for The Invincible Reason, it was an A.I assistant like Jarvis meant to make his life easier. With his command, Soundwave used the Psymagic Enchantments in the machines to continue to produce more of the template Justinian had created.
While that got automated by the helpful A.I, Justinian decided to leave his laboratory for now.
"Soundwave, make sure these genetic materials stay alive and healthy to keep producing blood for me. Oh and keep Manbat, Scarecrow, and Killer Croc in stasis until I require them."
From the ceiling, several mechanical limbs dragged away the other prisoners while letting Slade, Ra's, and the Kryptonian clones keep making blood. Soundwave hooked them up to several vials that would inject them with Vitality Potions and Blood Surge Potions to keep them making blood.
With that dealt with, Justinian teleported back to his Throne Room where his Honor Guard waited. When he arrived, they all bowed to him as he nodded his head to them. When he sat on his throne he took the time to enter the Psychic Net rather than just keep a part of his focus on it.
He looked through the entire Martian population and what they were thinking. A few Martians here and there plotted his end, but he just sent a message to his Marines to capture those and drag them to the labs.
When the traitors were exposed, he looked through the Research Institute, the many Dimensions he had created where massive farms grew more crops and livestock were bred. He even saw his Predacons basking on the surface in the mana-rich surface.
After doing that he opened his eyes as he leaned back into his Crystal Throne. Lauralina stayed back a bit as it was Remnosh who was considered his mate. She walked over and sat on her Emperor's lap who was resting his head on his knuckle.
'Are you ok?'
Justinian glanced over at her with a smile.
'Yeah, I am fine. I am just getting very restless and I am itching for a fight.'
Remnosh cleared her voice as she looked over at Lauralina who returned to her guard duty for the moment. She smiled as she turned to Justinian.
'It has been a while since we slept together, want to return to the hot spring dimension? Take Lauralina with you, make it a date.'
Justinian instantly began to feel his Draconic Desires start to rise to the top. Ddraig and Albion went silent and dormant as they were not perverts to look. Regardless, Justinian felt that would be a worthwhile stress reliever and he was in the mood.
'Not a bad idea.'
Remnosh smiled as she got up grabbed his hand and helped him off the throne. Sigismund who stood closer to the throne turned to Justinian.
"My Emperor? Are you leaving again? You just got here."
Justinian nodded.
"Yes, I think I am going to check up on my Predakons. I will take Lauralina and Remnosh. While I am up there I might as well check up on the farms."
"Of course."
Sigismund and the rest of his Honor Guard didn't suspect a thing. Instead of doing what he said, he returned to his laboratory and recreated the hot spring realm again where he released his draconic desires.
Lauralina was not expecting that, but when she got started she went crazy with pleasure and lust. Justinian as a Perpetual Custodes with Dragon God, Burning Martian, and Kryptonian genes needed beyond strong partners. Remnosh and Lauralina were two enhanced Burning Martians with Kryptonian genes meant they were what he needed.
The sheer force of their sex would have caused massive earthquakes on Mars if not for the Dimension that Justinian created. There was a second reason they didn't do this often their stamina was effectively endless.
However, after a month of the most extreme mating Justinian had ever had it finally ended with Remnosh and Lauralina panting while sitting on his lap. As for him, he had a big grin on his face as this was how an Emperor was meant to be treated.
'I better change my ways, I need regular month-long sex. It sure relieves my mind of all my pent-up stress.'
When he looked at Lauralina, he could see her golden eyes were glowing with a bright gold.
"You are forbidden from writing this in the Bible?"
She nodded as he established a Psychic Link with her as after having sex with her, she was officially his. Once the link was formed, he stood up in the lake which went through a beating.
"Alright then, about 30 minutes outside has passed. Are you two up to walk?"
Remnosh scoffed as she stood up without issue. She was radiant right now and the reason she and Justinian didn't mate much was because of how long it took them to calm down after. Even now, she felt her stamina come back and if they stayed longer they would be set off.
Though as Lauralina had no mate in her life this was her first time. She looked up at Justinian with pure desire in her eyes which made Justinian sigh.
"Another round?"
Remnosh sighed as she looked at Lauralina who was smiling.
"Fine."
With that, Justinian got back into it since he would be busy with his training. However, sex with Primarch-sized women was the best since they were up to his standard and size. He was surely living the high life now as an Immortal Emperor.
