Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 (2022)

In John Stewart's Paradise World, the alternate versions of Kyle Rayner, Jason Todd and Natasha Irons capture and attempt to execute Hal Jordan, mistaking him for Parallax, but he is rescued by Barry Allen. Barry tells Hal that he has been exploring the paradise worlds and believes that Pariah is using the League to power something. On Earth 0, Deathstroke and his forces haven't been seen for almost 24 hours and the combined forces of the Justice Society, Justice League, Titans and Bat-Family appear to have turned the tide, but Mister Terrific warns that he has detected dark energy at the edge of the Multiverse and Cyborg believes that the Dark Army are on their way to Earth 0. Nightwing hasn't left Beast Boy's bedside since the attack on Titans Academy but Alan Scott tells him that the heroes need him to lead them. Meanwhile, Black Adam attempts to convince the Legion of Doom to help him, but while they are arguing the Hall of Doom is attacked by the Secret Society, now fully under the control of the Darkness. Barry carries Hal to Batman's paradise world, a clockpunk city. Barry admits he tried to talk to Bruce before but he wouldn't listen and simply attacked. Batman appears and attacks them again, throwing gears in place of Batarangs. Meanwhile Hal and Barry's actions are only accelerating the process Pariah is using to create a new Multiverse from the paradise worlds. Alan Scott takes Nightwing, Jon Kent and Yara Flor to the Tower of Fate to speak with Justice League Dark. The Swamp Things; Alec Holland and Levi Kamei, tell them that the Great Darkness is an elemental force neither good nor evil, and with no desire to control people. The Darkness is not acting as it should, and they believe that it has been corrupted by something. The Secret Society manages to put up a significant fight against the Legion of Doom, and Luthor realises that the lesser villains are much stronger than normal. His scans show that they are drawing power from elsewhere, and that Deathstroke is the conduit. Luthor attacks Deathstroke and attempts to kill him, but Prometheus infects Luthor and the rest of the Legion with the Darkness. The assembled villains charge Black Adam en masse. In Mutiverse-2, the paradise worlds form a chain reaction, producing a new infinite Multiverse.
