All the havoc with people's wishing coming true and Max Lord being omnipotent, Wonder Woman isn't able to cope up. Eventually, she uses her lasso of truth.

She shows everyone the chaos their wishes have created and asks everyone to revoke their wishes. She shows how Max Lord's greed was causing trouble to his son, Alistair.
