The entire roster of the Justice Society of America continues to fight Gog II just beyond the steps of their Battery Park headquarters. Gog deflects an energy blast from Green Lantern, but quickly finds himself the victim of Obisidian's shadow powers. Obsidian disperses his shadow-self throughout Gog's body and temporarily blinds him. Superman and Lightning mount a direct assault while Power Girl, Stargirl and Starman evacuate nearby pedestrians out of the surrounding area (Starman is careful to include horses and poodles in his rescue efforts). The Wildcats jump Gog from behind, distracting him long enough for Liberty Belle to let loose with a flurry of super-speed combat maneuvers. As he staggers backwards, the rest of the JSAers dog pile on top of him. Gog tries to take down Citizen Steel, but the hero's cybernetic body is too heavy for him to move. Judomaster leaps from the bushes and judo flips Gog across the sidewalk. The rest of the team continues to batter away at them. Realizing that he is on the losing end of this battle, Gog activates a Boom Tube and teleports away. Several JSA members manage to follow after him.

Back at the Justice Society HQ, Hourman and Doctor Mid-Nite administer care to the injured. Sandman arrives and tells them that he communed with the Earth and learned where Gog has retreated. He has returned to the temple of his master in the African Congo.

At the temple in Africa, the JSA continue to fight Gog. Something strange begins to happen to Lance's weaponry and it starts glowing with power. Sandman arrives and tries to talk sense to Gog. Suddenly, the true Gog reveals himself. What they had believed was the face of the temple, is in fact the face of the true Gog. Gog releases a burst of green energy from his mouth which seemingly destroys his successor. Gog rises from the Earth and stands at his full height. Looking down, he smiles at the battle-weary JSA members and says "I come in peace".
