Chapter 71 - Enter the Justice League — Part 1.

Go grab your popcorn for this one.

 

Before Kyla-el left for Metropolis,

 

The Hall of Justice stood like a sentinel in the distance as Raven, Kyla-El, and Diana approached. The once-great fortress of Earth's mightiest heroes had become little more than a symbolic resistance to her growing empire. Most of the world's defenders had fallen under her control, but a few still dared to stand against her.

Beside her, Kyla-El floated with quiet confidence, the power of the Futa Goddess coursing through her veins. Diana, too, walked with the poise of a goddess reborn, her divinity surpassing the limits of mere mortals or even gods. And yet, they all knew this fight would not be easy.

Inside the Hall, the remaining members of the Justice League waited. Aquaman, Dr. Fate, Zatanna, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Captain Atom, and Shazam stood ready. Some were hardened warriors, others were gods in their own right, but they all knew that this would be the fight of their lives.

"You're sure about this, Zatanna?" Aquaman asked, his voice low, the tension thick in the air. He hefted his trident, the weight of his kingdom resting on his shoulders.

Zatanna, her face determined, nodded. "I've been working with Dr. Fate for months. We managed to drain some of Raven's weaker divinity from me, but I had to be careful. If she had noticed before now, I wouldn't be standing here. But Fate and I believe we have a chance—her power has grown, yes, but she's not invincible."

 

Zatanna had never submitted before Raven once and Raven accounted for this. Counting Batman and possibly Nightwing that would be three loopholes she left would probably make her stronger, or be her complete demise. This decision had been exploited by Zatanna as she had been working with Dr Fate to remove any trace of Raven within her as now Raven was no longer a problem mere heroes could deal with. If there was going to be a stand against Raven, especially given how powerful her lineage is Zatanna would need all the help she could get. She had fed all the information she could get on Teen Titans Tower situation and Raven's harem; Starfire, Diana and Kyla-el.

"Yet," Green Arrow muttered under his breath, his bow already drawn. The archer had never been one to bow to gods or goddesses, but the sheer power they faced now left him rattled. "We need to keep our heads, or this will be over before it starts."

Dr. Fate's glowing helmet shimmered, his voice echoing with the weight of millennia. "Zatanna speaks the truth. We've weakened her influence enough on one plane, but make no mistake—this is still a battle of cosmic proportions. If we fail here, there won't be another chance."

And then, the doors of the Hall opened.

Raven entered first, her presence radiating a terrifying aura of power, her divine essence suffocating the air around them. Kyla-El hovered beside her, arms crossed, ready for battle. Diana, now a god far beyond her former self, stood resolute, her eyes fixed on her former comrades.

"You don't have to do this," Diana said, her voice steady but filled with the weight of inevitability. "Raven will reshape the universe for the better. You only resist out of fear."

"You've betrayed us, Diana," Shazam spat, lightning crackling from his fists. "We were supposed to fight for truth and justice, not serve some dark goddess."

"I haven't betrayed anyone," Diana responded. "I've found the truth. And soon, you will too."

With a flick of Raven's wrist, the battle erupted into chaos.

Shazam, always the first to charge, unleashed a blast of divine lightning at Raven. It crackled through the air, aimed directly at her chest, but Raven raised her hand, effortlessly absorbing the energy. With a smirk, she redirected it, sending a bolt of dark energy crashing into Shazam, sending him sprawling across the room.

Aquaman lunged forward, his trident gleaming as it struck toward Raven's heart, but Diana intercepted him. Their weapons clashed with a force that shook the foundation of the Hall. "I will stop you, Arthur," Diana said, her voice filled with regret but resolve.

"You won't!" Aquaman roared, pushing back with all his might, but Diana was faster, stronger, and her blade sliced through the air with divine precision.

Zatanna began chanting a spell, her words growing louder and more powerful as she unleashed a torrent of magic at Kyla-El. But Kyla was ready. She flew through the magical barrage with ease, her Kryptonian strength enhanced by Raven's divine gift. With a swift motion, she grabbed Zatanna by the throat, lifting her off the ground.

"You think you can challenge me?" Kyla-El sneered. "You're just a shadow of the woman you used to be."

But then, Dr. Fate intervened. His helmet glowed with ancient power, and the room seemed to warp around him. He summoned the full strength of his magic, casting a binding spell that wrapped around Kyla-El, forcing her to release Zatanna.

"This ends now, Kyla," Dr. Fate intoned, his voice deep and powerful.

Green Arrow, standing at the back of the room, notched an arrow and aimed it at Raven. His heart pounded in his chest. He knew how outmatched he was, but he couldn't just stand by. With a deep breath, he fired.

Raven, without even looking, raised her hand. The arrow froze mid-air, and she sighed, shaking her head. "You really think that will work on me?"

The doubt in Green Arrow's eyes flickered, but he fired again, determined to at least make her notice him. Raven's hand swiped the arrow away like an insect, sending it clattering uselessly to the floor.

"You're wasting my time," she said, her voice dripping with boredom. "But I admire your persistence."

Meanwhile, Dr. Fate had activated his most powerful spell yet. His host, Kent Nelson, could feel his lifespan slipping away as he channeled the raw magic of the cosmos. He knew this spell would cost him dearly, but it was the only way to hold back Raven's power.

"Zatanna, NOW!" Fate shouted, his voice strained under the weight of the spell.

Zatanna unleashed a surge of magic, and for the first time in the fight, Raven paused. The combined force of Dr. Fate and Zatanna's power managed to weaken her hold, pausing her movement with a barrier enclosed around her, but it was still not enough.

Kyla-El, freed from Fate's binding spell, tackled Dr. Fate to the ground, her fist glowing with raw power. "You will not touch her," she growled, slamming her fist into Fate's chest. The force of the blow sent Fate's helmet flying, revealing Kent Nelson's weary face underneath.

"Doomsday," Raven whispered, sensing a new presence entering the battlefield.

 

 

From a portal created by Batman's secret intervention, Doomsday emerged, his form even more monstrous than before. Unbeknownst to Raven, Batman had been working in the shadows, using the remnants of Raven's weaker divine cum sample to inject into Doomsday. Now, he stood stronger than ever, programmed to destroy Raven at all costs.

"Finally," Kyla-El said, floating down beside Diana. "We have a real challenge."

"Diana, Kyla," Raven commanded, her voice calm despite the threat. "Handle this."

Doomsday charged forward, roaring as he swung a massive fist toward Raven, so powerful it went beyond just cutting the wind, it bent space around them a bit. But Diana stepped in, blocking the blow with her shield she created just now as shockwaves spread from the impact, dropping all flying birds around and near them. "I'll deal with him," she said, turning to Kyla-El. "The others are yours."

The fight between Diana and Doomsday was unlike anything the League had seen before. Their blows shook the very foundation of the Earth, their strength and speed far beyond anything mortal eyes could comprehend. But it was clear that Doomsday had grown stronger than in the past—stronger even than Diana had anticipated.

"He's tougher than before," Kyla-El warned, her voice echoing over the battlefield.

Diana smirked, slashing through Doomsday's defences with a force so powerful it nearly split the earth. "It doesn't matter. He's still no match for me."

With three decisive strikes, Diana bound Doomsday in her lasso, pulling him to his knees. And with a final, devastating slash from her sword, she destroyed him, cutting through his essence and reducing him to nothing more than ash, destroying all his cells in one fell swoop. One slash, and it looked like she cut him down to the atoms in a million pieces.

 

How was it?
