Synopsis for "Chapter Thirty"
On Earth-44, the fight between Mecha Superman and Deathstroke continues, while the Arcane Green Lantern lies unconscious. After firing a blast at Mecha Superman, Deathstroke realizes that the Lantern is waking up, and calls him persistent. Hal states that he is correct and captures him with the power of his lantern. As Deathstroke starts calculating counters, Hal tells K.A.L. that they can take him down together, since it will give him little time to calibrate any response to their attacks. Superman agrees and lands a hard punch at the mercenary robot, shattering him into pieces. Batman and Superman of Earth-0 soon arrive, stating they came to help, and are shown the Earth Engine found on Earth-44's Metropolis. Batman states they can't do anything about it before they learn more.
Going back to Earth-19, Batman tells his allies that they've found another Earth Engine and they need to uncover every one of them across the multiverse. He decides to go to Earth-43 along with Nightmare Robin and Hawkgirl of Earth-19, while sending Superman along with Hal and Atomic Wonder Woman to Earth-0. When Luthor of Earth-19 questions about him not being included in any team, Batman states it's because he'll stay back, under the watch of his world's Catwoman and K.A.L. Before they leave, K.A.L. tells them that he's identified the energy profile of the Earth Engines, which they can use to track them down through their orbs. Later on Earth-0, Wonder Woman tells Superman that the orb has traced one of the engines to Keystone City.
After landing in Keystone, the orb directs them to Keystone City Supermall, where they are confronted by Captain Boomerang, who runs away after being intimidated by Superman. Exploring further, the team finds another Earth Engine. Meanwhile on Earth-43, Batman's team reaches the House of Mystery and Robin tells them that it's named so because no one has ever come out alive from there. Damian gets a reading from an orb, though the necromantic field interference makes it hard to tell what exactly. As they investigate further, they come upon another Earth Engine. Soon the team gets attacked by Dhampyre bats and Batman uses ultrasonic frequency to drive them away. Robin shouts at him, telling him to not use it and states it will alert someone. Soon they find out who he was talking about - the vampiric Batman of Earth-43.
Back on Earth-19, Lex expresses his frustration about being virtually imprisoned without anything to do. He asks the Mecha Superman to show him the energy profile of the Earth Engine again. Catwoman tells K.A.L. to show it to him so he can remain distracted and while examining it, he finds a profile match. As he rushes down to the laboratory section of the building, he tells Catwoman and Mecha Superman about the match, before opening a lab door and discovering an Earth Engine. He however suddenly realizes it won't look good on him, given his reputation.
