Seeing that they’re shedding him, Primus brings out the Omega Males’s secret weapon; the Father Field. It lets out a low ping, and removes the bullet from his chest, however that’s not all.

The Father Field speaks to Superman. Not in phrases, however with visions of a burning planet packed endlessly with struggling individuals. It guarantees that that is the Earth’s destiny. Clearly, Superman is keen to do absolutely anything to avoid wasting the planet from that destiny, and he’s not alone in that struggle, for higher and worse. The Omega Males are keen to struggle till their dying breath to destroy the vile Lazarus Corp that’s desecrating the Earth, however they’re zealots who’re begging Superman to tear the elites aside in a bloody, vengeful revolution, and the very last thing Superman desires to do is kill anybody.

And even ignoring any potential plan of Darkseid’s, the Father Field alone is a corrupting drive, and the Omega Males have been listening to it. Issues are very dangerous for Absolute Superman, they usually can solely worsen from right here.
