Quotes 

• DeSaad : I told you Steppenwolf would fail.

  Darkseid : Yes. Yes, you did.

  DeSaad : My master, now that the Mother Boxes have been destroyed, how will you retrive your great prize?

  Darkseid : Anti-Life is found, DeSaad. And we will stop at nothing to possess it. Ready the armada. We will use the old ways.

• DeSaad : [appears in the wall of rock]  Have you finished the conquest?

  Steppenwolf : Not yet, DeSaad.

  DeSaad : Then why do you summon me?

  Steppenwolf : I bring news. Before mighty Darkseid came to the throne, he searched the universe for the ultimate weapon. The Anti-Life Equation. The key to controlling all life and all will throughout the multiverse. He found it hidden on a primitive planet, but before...

  DeSaad : The story of the defiance is well-known.

  Steppenwolf : I have found the primitive planet. The world that fought back. It is Earth. The Anti-Life Equation is carved into the surface of this very world.

  DeSaad : [snarls]  Are you certain?

  Steppenwolf : I have seen it. I have looked with my own eyes... of Anti-Life.

• Steppenwolf : DeSaad. DeSaad! I call to thee.

  [DeSaad appears in the wall of rock] 

  DeSaad : Steppenwolf, have you begun the conquest?

  Steppenwolf : This world is divided. They are a primitive species. Unevolved and at war with one another. Too separate to be one. Their free will must be ripped from them, like the other worlds. Given absolution in one glorious belief, to serve him.

  DeSaad : The Mother Boxes?

  Steppenwolf : I have found one of the three. The one that woke and called to me. The other two still sleep, but the parademons feel their presence. They fly, they search, they take prisoners who carry the scent, while I build a stronghold in the name of his glory.

  DeSaad : Yes. Mighty Steppenwolf, who might have sat here by the side of the great one. But undone by his self-pride.

  Steppenwolf : DeSaad. I fall before you.

  [kneels down to him] 

  Steppenwolf : Let me make a plea to him that I may come home after I take this world in his name.

  DeSaad : You betrayed him. Your own family.

  Steppenwolf : I saw my mistake. I slaughtered those who sought his throne.

  DeSaad : You still owe the great one 50,000 more worlds. He will hear your plea when you pay your debt.

  Steppenwolf : [stands up]  The Mother Boxes will be found and united. No protectors here. No Lanterns, no Kryptonian. This world will fall, like all the others.

  DeSaad : For Darkseid.

  [vanishes in the rock of wall] 

  Steppenwolf : For Darkseid.

• [after Steppenwolf put the another Mother Box in the wall of rock] 

  DeSaad : Steppenwolf, tell me what you've learned.

  Steppenwolf : Two boxes found and awake. With the combined power of the two Mother Boxes, I've been able to finished the stronghold's defenses.

  DeSaad : Where is the third Mother Box?

  Steppenwolf : The parademons sense its presence and search the third. They have taken prisoners who carry its scent.

  DeSaad : Go. Interrogate the prisoners. Find the third.

  Steppenwolf : They will tell me what they know, or I will rip it from them.
