Synopsis for "Chapter Twenty Four"

Batman calls out to Luthor, who's allured by the Eternal Key's power and threatens to hit him if he takes it for himself. Luthor however states that he can trust him, as his own person goals of conquest mean nothing if the multiverse is threatened with destruction. As he inserts the key in the command center, he tells Zatanna to insulate it with her spell. With that achieved, Batman tells the Monitor to activate his network. Monitor does so and orders Construct to get the defense systems of Nil online. Outside, Robin and the others find themselves overwhelmed, but the Axis Tower soon starts striking at Brainiac's constructs. The heroes meanwhile seek cover and marvel at the path of destruction the tower is creating.

Brainiac orders his forces to keep advancing and activate their shields, while also telling them to take back control of Nil's defense systems. A Metallo however informs him that it's impossible, since someone is blocking them from taking over the command center. Brainiac refuses to accept defeat and tells them to kill everyone, but soon gets obliterated by a blast. Construct meanwhile sends the rest of Metallos back to Earth-43 and sometime after the battle, the Monitor records that they came too close to losing Nil. Though they have defeated their enemy for now, he is sure they will return and realizes that the Infinite Crisis has just begun. He also sent the heroes back to their universes to recruit more allies and to watch out for any new threats, as it'll require a greater effort to stop the crisis again.

Meanwhile on Earth-19, Catwoman spies upon Luthor at his headquarters in Metropolis and views Mercy Graves asking him about his business trip. He states that it was most stimulating and tells her he doesn't require anything, before going back to his research on the new sources of power and technology he has recently encountered.
