When Metron, the amoral New God of Knowledge, deciphers an unreadable shard of the Source Wall—the unfathomable boundary at the edge of all existence—he is thrust into a horrifying revelation: reality may be a fractured simulation, a fragile construct layered over a Lovecraftian truth that shouldn’t be known. As the political balance between New Genesis and Apokolips teeters on the brink of full-scale cosmic war, Darkseid’s shadow looms across the Fourth World, manipulating factions and secrets for his own inscrutable ends, and warriors like Orion must confront both the crumbling universe and what Metron has uncovered. Metron’s pursuit of truth threatens not only his sanity but the stability of existence itself, revealing that the universe’s deepest structure is a cosmic nightmare coded in madness.
