Apokoliptian would not be talking about ENDING the party, as opposed to starting it up.

If the GOAL for the party is to lure out OL then they would.

Remember OL ran his mouth to Darkseid personal assassin a few days ago, this could very well be the answer to the question of what would Darkseid do if Kanto informed him of everything OL said during their fight (things he shouldn't fucking know).

If the goal for the party was to lure out OL, they wouldn't be striking in Kahndaq.
They'd have hit Happy Harbor, which he's been associated with, or his Ice Fortress.
This was squarely aimed at Adom.

Hilarious as it would be I somehow doubt that the ancient monarch's first words upon returning to find his people massacred and their homes burned would be "Party's Over."

Why not? Look at the volume.
That was clearly meant to get attention of people without communication gear ie most of the city.
A New God would use comms to alert his troops.
Could be a Green Lantern, but OL's ring would see it.

And I will remind people that Adom was both a monarch and a general at a time when personal example was kinda important.
Leaders have to be theatrical, and the morale of those you lead is seldom improved by your demonstrating a loss of self-control in public.
 
I'd like to see the idiots who don't take Paul seriously after this.
Though, with DC mentality, it will probably be a lot of people.

Edit:

What are the odds that the attackers are actually Renegade Paul and his drones from further down the RenegadeTimeline deciding to take over a parallel dimension.

True, but people with brains in Gotham will know him by that name, and take him completely seriously.

People in Gotham are used to taking weird arse shit like the Joker seriously. And have a man dressed as a bat. And even then, most of the populace (in other DC universes, at least - not necessarily on Earth-16) don't want the Joker to be killed.

For most of the world: cake man. *snigger*

This will be a historical moment for Earth-16; people will finally recognize Superheroes not as funny people in stupid costumes, but as self-contained WMD.
It will be glorious.

But they do. Zatana even has to write a report on it!

"I, um… Yoooou.. remember the cake."

"I remember the cake. The internet remembers the cake. Two hundred years from now, alien civilisations that have never met a Human before will address me as 'The Cake Man'. "

"I had to write a report on it."

"That's a bit unfair, isn't it? You were actually there."

"It's more about the sort of sociological implications of really powerful superhumans. How you could just completely ignore all the rules of society-"

"I settled those lawsuits." I did.

"-and do whatever they want."

"Was I really the best example of that?"

"The best example that wasn't actually criminal. We live in a world where someone can merge with a giant snake and make a giant cake in the air."

Speaking of which I've found a bright side to this; now she has a whole new topic to discuss in her report! Previously OL's only publicly known example of of "doing whatever he wants" is The Cake Incident, because most people probably don't know about him being connected to the eyes/moon-spinning/asteroid close up.

Now however she can compare and contrast The Cake Incident, a relatively harmless and fun demonstration of power, with The Slaughter at Shiruta, effortlessly killing an army equipped with advanced Xenotechnology.

Shiruta?, I thought this was in modern Khandaq?.

Pretty much zero, this isn't his style at all. Whatever his other flaws he's far more selective about his targets. And there's far more deserving targets for such an attack.

Shiruta is a city in it.

Wait, is he running an Orange ring on Rage?

Yeah, there is no functional difference between "I deeply care about my friends, therefore I want them to be safe" and "You made me absolutely furious, therefore I want you in pieces so little people will inhale them".


Silverias said:
He can still be the cake man, but now he's an Eddie Izzard act.

"Cake or death?"

:rofl: You literally made me choke on cake (well pie technically), so I guess both.
 
So... bets on who's running this attack? I'm willing to estimate Kalibak, Kano or for the oh fuck moment, Darkseid, but that's a very low chance.

Note the heartbeats. Paul really wants those guys dead.

Have to want the means to want the ends. He wants this city safe, these civilians to live, so he wants these soldiers to die.

I kind of want him to pick up a second name to counterpoint the first. The Terror of Shiruti, perhaps. Earlier the TV had footage of the attack on the city, so there must be cameras watching this.

Station News: "And now we're heading to Tom Wakes, with footage from Shiruti, Khandaq."

Tom: "As you can see, the peace talks have failed and the city is under fire from strangely armoured soldiers. There are, wait, zoom in on that. Is that...?"

Orange starburst goes off above the city, small glowing blobs break off towards soldiers.

Tom: "Yes, it looks like the hero Orange Lantern, most well known for making a giant cake has arrived on scene and" -touches his ear piece- "that can't be right. I'm being told that he has released his demon horde? What kind of hero has a demon horde? The kind that kills Satan, what kind of answer is that?"

Explosions, death, destruction.

Tom: "Did he just explode their heads!? He just vaporised that guy!" -takes a breath as a large tank is crushed- "Orange Lantern appears to be... disintegrating the attacking force with extreme prejudice.

Praexis demon knocks flier out of the air, eats its gun, spits out another demon.

Praexis: "Feed"

Tom: Okay, I think it's about time for us to leave.
