Well, first I would have Luthor become president in some kind of "President Luthor" esque storyline. He would then spread his influence to the entire world(not rule it, but he'd have a large influence), presenting himself as a benevolent leader with the intention of making the world a better place. Since he is in alliance with the Light, they help him implant a good portion of the world population with the Starro mind-control tech you see earlier on in the series. This would allow Darkseid to control and look into the human subconscious for fragments of the Anti-Life Equation. It would also fulfill the Light's plans(more specifically Lex) to lead Earth and humanity as rulers of the galaxy since the Light could introduce Apokoliptan tech to the public without any resistance. The Justice League and various other heroes could be either taken out by Darkseid and his forces and the Light or be subverted by the mind-control tech.
This version of DS would be more akin to Pre-Crisis versions and would be able to take on and defeat the League and the Team without much difficulty at all. Darkseid would be behind everything, pulling the strings, using avatars to do his bidding, etc. He could also kill a few of the main heroes just to show how much of a threat he is. How did he get the Light to work with him? Simple, explain the plan and tell them they would have full control of humanity by the time he is finished. If not that, simply have the Light be victims of mind-control themselves, idk, I'm not interested in filling plot holes since I didn't even watch the series that much,, so I'll leave that to someone else.
That's how I'd do it. Whatever.
