There's a child of prophecy tied to those god-purgers, one Metron's interested in.
He's made a pawn of Maxwell Lord - brought him out of his post-Rebirth-Wonder-Woman coma and turned his resources to acquiring the child.
In issue #7, some of New Genesis'd arrived on Earth fleeing the Nyctari.
Those of Apokolips who'd fled the enemy's coming there first had also made it to Earth. Max'd met them - and Metron'd smoothed enough the way to their combining forces.
( Their goal was the prophecy child, whom they understood to be Darkseid again. )
