Darkseid seems unconcerned and, as they all attempt to subdue him, they all find their free will abandon them one by one until only Black Bolt confronts Darkseid.  Darkseid stands triumphant, having finally wrested the anti-life equation from Maximus' mind, where it was all along. But before Darkseid can kill Black Bolt, Metron whisks him away.
