Synopsis
Lois journals the future war, as Luthor's forces fight Khyber's. Parasite dies and Khyber joins the battle. Superman drags Khyber above the nuclear winter clouds, almost killing him, but instead Khyber kills him. Sirocco kills Khyber, losing his life in the process. After some years, most people have died; Lois in 2045. Jimmy continues her journal, with his final entry in 2056. Back in the present, Arion argues that civilization has cycles. If someone holds back a fall, the fall may get to the point of destroying all humanity. He tells Superman he must not interfere; civilization must fall.
