#687 - Steppenwolf is coming!
“It's me, Peter. Your journey through the multiverse is finally over.”
Diana's voice came through, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
“It would be nice if you could take someone along on your next multiverse trip.”
Peter nodded, pretending to be serious as he said to her, “I guess you're suggesting I take a princess named Diana Prince, right?”
“Uh-huh, you said it yourself, I didn't force you.”
Diana snorted.
Diana had been brooding over the fact that Peter hadn't taken her on his trip to the parallel world.
She's usually so unreserved, yet he didn't take her on this family team-building exercise.
“Alright, Peter, let's get back to business. Something happened on Paradise Island.”
Diana frowned as she said to him on the other end of the phone.
“Weren't your mother and people restored by Hera after being turned into stone statues?”
Peter asked her, “Are the Olympian gods attacking your people again?”
“No, it's not Hera, and it's not the Olympian gods, it's aliens.”
Diana said to him seriously on the phone, “They stole the Amazonians' sacred object.”
In the underground cage, Queen Hippolyta walked in, looked at the metal box that kept emitting some kind of frequency and vibration, and had a crack in the center, and asked the subordinates in charge of guarding it.
“Are there any changes today?”
“No, Queen.”
The subordinate said to her, “The Mother Box has awakened, but nothing has happened yet.”
Hippolyta, covered in golden armor, sighed slightly.
“Since the First Age, it has been dormant for thousands of years, and we don't know why it woke up.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Mother Box suddenly stopped vibrating, and the gap on it disappeared.
Seeing the Mother Box stop vibrating, all the Amazons raised their weapons and looked at the Mother Box vigilantly.
The Amazonian warrior in charge of guarding nervously said to Hippolyta, “This is the first time it has stopped vibrating, Queen. The gap has also disappeared, maybe it has returned to normal and is recovering to sleep.”
Queen Hippolyta turned around and said to the many Amazonian warriors, “No, demons will not disappear, they will only wait.”
Then the Mother Box vibrated again at a faster frequency, and the gap on it continued to expand.
“Something's coming!”
Queen Hippolyta shouted to the crowd, “Amazons, prepare for battle!”
“Boom!”
Before she could finish her words, a powerful energy erupted from the Mother Box, knocking everyone away.
At the same time.
The Amazonian warriors far away from the cage also sensed the arrival of an ominous aura.
In the astonished eyes of many Amazonian warriors, a silver pillar of energy broke through the cage and shot straight into the sky.
“Buzz!”
Inside the cage, countless strange creatures with wings flew out of the energy pillar.
With a muffled bang, a guy covered with silver dense scales and thorns, holding a sharp axe, appeared from the energy pillar.
The opponent's body was covered with a large number of scales and thorns, and the skin showed a metallic texture, as if it was a product of the combination of some alien creature and machinery.
And the opponent's head has huge horns, the shape of the horns is sharper and irregular, the facial contours are ferocious, and the eyes emit red light, which is extremely threatening.
Looking at the Amazonian warriors around him pointing their weapons at him, he shook his head and said, “Guardians, they have failed ten thousand worlds, but they have never succeeded.”
“I will enlighten you with the great darkness, and I will immerse myself in your fear.”
As he spoke, he walked towards the many Amazonian female warriors.
The opponent's armor gleamed coldly in the light, and every step made the ground shake.
Faced with the suddenly appearing arrogant guy, Queen Hippolyta was full of fighting spirit and shouted to the people around her, “Daughters of Paradise Island, let him see our fear!”
“We have no fear!”
The Amazonian warriors roared and immediately launched an attack on the guy covered in scales and thorns.
Queen Hippolyta roared and ordered to the crowd: “Protect the Mother Box! At all costs!”
The Amazonian warriors quickly assembled, the archers pulled their bows to the full, and the rain of arrows shot towards the creatures with wings and energy weapons like locusts.
Faced with the sky full of arrows and the waving of long swords, the guy covered with scales and thorns just waved his battle axe lightly, and the arrows broke one after another.
He strode forward, and every step made the earth tremble.
Hippolyta personally took the field, waving her long sword and roaring towards the opponent.
However, the power of the guy covered in scales and thorns far exceeded her imagination.
The opponent punched Hippolyta away and continued to advance towards the Mother Box.
“For Paradise Island!”
An Amazonian warrior shouted and led her companions to rush towards the guy covered in scales and thorns.
Many Amazonian warriors formed a line of defense with spears and shields, trying to stop the opponent from advancing.
The creature wrapped in scales sneered, and the battle axe swept across, and the line of defense collapsed instantly.
Seeing that the opponent was powerful and could not be matched, Queen Hippolyta hugged the Mother Box and looked painfully at the warriors who were still fighting.
Turning around, she ran towards the outside of the passage and shouted to the female warriors along the way: “Prepare the war hammer! Seal the cage!”
As she kept running out with the Mother Box in her arms, the female warriors along the way kept roaring and hammered and destroyed the stone pillars supporting the cage.
These female warriors who were responsible for hammering were also constantly being sealed inside.
Queen Hippolyta, who escaped from the cage, looked sadly at the completely sealed cage in front of her.
At this time, the Amazonian warriors had come to meet Queen Hippolyta.
Queen Hippolyta, riding a tall horse, had not escaped far before she was hit by the scaled man wielding an axe and hit the horse.
With a "bang", Queen Hippolyta was knocked away.
Finally, the guy covered in scales came to the Mother Box, reached out and grabbed the Mother Box on the ground, feeling the powerful power contained in it.
“The first one.”
He said in a low voice, then opened the silver energy channel, glanced at the other Amazons who were rushing over, and disappeared into the air.
“Peter, are you listening?”
Diana narrated, and when she didn't hear Peter's voice, she thought he had already left.
“I've been listening, Diana.”
Peter nodded.
He roughly guessed who this guy was.
Steppenwolf, from Apokolips, the living hell of the Fourth World in the universe, is a member of the New Gods, the military commander of Apokolips, and a member of the Dark Elite under the Dark Lord Darkseid.
Over a long period of time, the opponent has helped Darkseid conquer countless planets and parallel universes.
As the vanguard, the opponent came to Earth, and the purpose should be to seize the Mother Box.
Now that Steppenwolf has appeared, it means that Darkseid is not far away.
This guy is the most powerful enemy.
“Do you know who he is? Peter.”
Diana tried to ask Peter.
“Yes, I know, and I know his purpose is for the three Mother Boxes on Earth.”
Peter frowned and said to Diana, “Diana, come to the farm first, and we'll discuss the next course of action.”
Steppenwolf is strong, and the Doomsday Axe he wields can easily split open cosmic planets, and has powerful physical attack capabilities.
But just this level of power is not enough to deal with himself.
Among his many children, Clark can completely defeat him, and Azu, Star-Lord, and Raven will not be easily defeated if they fight him.
Compared to Steppenwolf, Peter is worried about the master behind him.
“Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible.”
Diana hung up the phone and headed towards Smallville, regardless of whether it was late at night or not.
At the same time.
Invincible World.
Oliver hid behind the bus stop, waiting for the night bus to the city.
He had put on makeup with his mother's cosmetics to cover up his purple skin.
A drunk man staggered over, and Oliver held his breath.
But the drunk man just muttered something and fell asleep on the bench.
The bus came, and Oliver stood on tiptoe to put in the coin.
The driver uncle glanced at him: "Little friend, are you going out alone so late?"
“I... I'm going to find my dad.”
Oliver told a lie, feeling his face a little hot.
Can superheroes lie? He doesn't know.
The bus was empty, and Oliver sat in the back row.
The light and shadow of the street lights passed through the car window, flickering on his face.
He was carrying a backpack, which contained cookies and juice, as well as the uniform Peter gave him.
With a "squeak", the bus suddenly braked sharply.
Oliver almost bumped into the front seat, and he heard the driver uncle cursing.
Through the car window, he was surprised to see several masked people blocking the middle of the road.
“Get out of the car and hand over the money!”
A masked man got into the car and threatened the trembling driver with a knife.
Oliver's heart was pounding.
This was the first time he had encountered real bad guys.
Take a deep breath and try to recall what Uncle Peter had said to him.
“Stop!”
Oliver stood up and jumped out of the car window. He tried to make his voice sound more mature, “I am... I am the superhero Oliver Grayson!”
The masked robbers were stunned for a moment, then laughed.
“Where did this little kid come from?”
Oliver was enraged. He stomped his foot, and the ground cracked with a "boom", and the masked robbers' laughter stopped abruptly.
“I said,” Oliver raised his little fist, “I am a superhero!”
“I believe you are, but you have to wait until you grow up.”
A sudden voice suddenly sounded.
With a "bang", Gwen Stacy landed in front of Oliver, and spider silk shot out from her wrist.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The unprepared robbers were all blown away in an instant.
Gwen clapped her hands and said to the stunned Oliver, “When you grow up a little, you can beat these guys without any burden.”
