Synopsis for "Chapter Twenty Six: Earth Engine, Part Two"

On Earth-17, Wonder Woman tells the others that she doesn't know what they're seeing in front of them, which is why she decided to seek help. Batman states that it seems similar to the Monitor's spatial engines and is partly made of Monitor technology. The Arcane Green Lantern upon examining it, finds that it consists of less sophisticated technology as well, but the Nightmare Robin berates him for probing it as it might get triggered. Batman agrees with him that it's dormant and is sitting there to be activated in future. As the Lantern states that it must have been left there under guard deliberately, the team decides to interrogate Killer Croc.

Croc however refuses to reveal anything and Robin suggests torturing him in order to force him. Lantern rejects such a proposition and upon being told that he eats humans, says that they cannot fall to his level. Wonder Woman agrees with him, while Batman tells Robin to interrogate Croc, much to her bewilderment. Robin tells Croc he has three options, be interrogated by the Lasso of Truth which will permanently change him, get tortured or simply reveal what he knows. Croc decides to cooperate and states that a man with glasses approached him a week ago, telling him to guard the Earth Engine in the cave. Robin asks if he was paid and when he says no, wonders why he agreed to it. Croc himself struggles to understand, and Catwoman of Earth-19 states she might have seen the Earth Engine before.

In Singapore of Earth-19, Lex Luthor holds a global peace conference attended by many world leaders and tells them that their universe faces great threats from the outside. To counter these threats, they must band together, before thanking Shayera Hol, the queen of the south whose kingdom has often been at war with the rest of the world. Shayera states that she does believe the peace accords will be beneficial and they must join together to protect their world from the threats he described to them. When Lex turns his attention to King Arthur of Atlantis and states how it has been long at war with the surface world, Arthur states that it is because surface dwellers are aggressive and adds he doesn't trust Luthor. Lex however uses a device to make him agree to the accords.

Flying back to Metropolis in his airship, Luthor gets told by Mercy Graves that the peace conference went well, to which he agrees. As she states how he deserves a peace prize, Lex states he doesn't want awards, but the safety of the world, and tells her that he needs to be alone in order to get work done. As she leaves, Lex tells the person hiding in his room to come out and soon gets confronted by Batman of Earth-0, who states that they know what he's doing. As Luthor states he doesn't know what he's talking about, Batman states he does, and introduces him to Superman of Earth-0.
