Zero appears in the sky above DC Earth one day. Martian Manhunter notices him immediately, but it's too late, he's already here, as Zero's mind and body are one.
Instantly, every mind on Earth is infused with Zero. Except for the five mentioned here
>>106595228 . Wonder Woman uses the lasso on Batman, who explains exactly what happened to everyone because after experiencing it first hand he just understands because he's Batman. However being forced out of someone's mind attracts Zero's attention, and he focuses everyone's attention on those five, causing Batman to come loose from the rope in the fight, revealing people must remain in contact with it to remain immune to Zero.
Outnumbered and out gunned, Fate teleports them out while Specter stays behind to fight the possessed Justice League on his own. Wonder Woman mentions somewhere on Themyscira she knows that "Even the gods can't see" and they go their to lay low and make a battle plan.
A month goes by without them having any success fighting off Zero, until a literal ray of hope shines down. When Green Lantern's ring detected a forceful removal of all willpower within it's host, it activated an automatic function and flew off to Oa on it's own as a distress beacon. Unable to spare any more forces to Earth's sector they don't help much, but they call someone who can. The Blue Lanterns rain down on Zero, accompanied by the Star Sapphires. Analysis by Green Lantern's ring showed he was vulnerable to both love and hope, and while the Guardian's relationship with the Sapphires is shaky, the Blue Lanterns had no problem asking them for help. But it's still not enough.
