Intimidation and demoralization.

[Merl says it without looking up from his toy.]

It doesn't matter who sits on Darkseid's throne; it just needs to be filled by someone powerful and omnicidal. Then they'll have throngs of suicidal imbeciles at their command - even those that were initially hesitant to be open about wanting the end of the world to come about.

If whoever takes the throne is clever enough to lie about offering sanctuary for their minions that do wish to survive the apocalypse, they'll gain even more followers. They can offer death for those that seek it from one hand, survival for those that seek it from the other.
