After Hermes explains to Diana that Olympus has been taken over by Darkseid, the New God toys with the heroes, making them battle, as he discusses with Desaad his plans.

Darkseid tells Desaad that the Olympian gods are creations of the same energy released by the battle of the old gods that created Apokolips and New Genesis, though Circe describes a very different process of the generation of the gods in Wonder Woman #19 when she explains to Diana that the New Gods had their genesis in the energy released by the Titans conflict with the Olympians.
