#689 - I would like to try and see what is different about this farm!

"Their purpose is—invasion, occupation."

Diana glanced at the crowd and continued, "They came here a long time ago, destroying all who stood in their way. The leader of the invaders is called 'Darkseid,' a name every universe curses and fears."

"But Darkseid encountered Earth's guardians on the battlefield—ancient gods, humans, the Atlantean race lurking in the sea, the Amazon race before betrayal and enslavement, and guardians from the stars."

Diana organized her thoughts, her expression becoming serious.

"When Darkseid waged war on Earth, he discovered a secret—an energy hidden in infinite space. He summoned mystics who worshipped and controlled three things: Mother Boxes."

Diana paused, and Azu suddenly interrupted, "Wait! Mother Boxes? What are they?"

"Indestructible, living machines. The science behind their creation is so advanced it appears as sorcery. To conquer all, the three boxes must be synchronized, merged into one, and used to scour the planet with fire, turning it into a replica of the enemy's world. All living things on the planet will be enslaved, turned into mindless drones called Parademons."

"Although the guardians initially didn't trust each other due to their historical lessons, choosing to fight alone rather than ally, they eventually united and defeated Darkseid. It was a golden age, with many heroes fighting together to protect Earth."

Loki listened to Diana's story and shrugged. "Seems like this Darkseid fellow isn't all that impressive."

Diana ignored Loki and continued, "In the battle, the Earth alliance gradually gained the upper hand. Although Darkseid was powerful, he was ultimately defeated by the combined forces of the alliance. A member of the Green Lantern Corps struck Darkseid with an energy weapon, forcing him to retreat. The Apokoliptian army quickly collapsed after losing its leader."

"To prevent Apokolips from invading again, the Earth alliance decided to hide the three Mother Boxes separately, with the Amazons, Atlanteans, and humans each guarding one, ensuring they would never be united."

Here, Diana paused, a look of worry appearing on her face.

"The Mother Box protected by my people has been stolen, and it has awakened the darkness. The enemy has arrived."

After listening to Diana's story, Raven and the others fell silent.

Peter stood beside them, leaning against the table, and pondered for a moment before saying to Diana, "Don't worry, Diana, Steppenwolf is not a concern."

He didn't take Steppenwolf's strength to heart, more worried about Darkseid behind him.

"Next, Steppenwolf will continue to seize the remaining two Mother Boxes, especially the one guarded by the Atlanteans."

Peter turned his gaze to Azu, Clark, and Mark. "John, Clark, Mark, you three go to Atlantis now. It's likely Steppenwolf has set his sights on Atlantis."

Peter sent Azu and the others to Atlantis to wait for Steppenwolf to appear.

With the Mother Box's boom tube, he can come and go without a trace, making it difficult to find him.

"Leave it to me, Dad."

Azu wore a confident expression, "This guy called Steppenwolf will regret coming to Earth."

Peter: "."

Looking at Azu's smug expression, Peter secretly complained: When will Azu's habit of bragging and then getting his face slapped change?!

Although he was complaining about his son in his heart, Peter didn't show it on his face.

After all, he was his eldest son, and Peter didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm.

Instead, he walked up to Azu, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Of course, I believe in you."

He'll probably get beaten up a few more times and be fine.

"Dad."

Raven came up with some worry and said to Peter, "Let me go too."

"For the sake of Earth and the farm, and for Father, I will defeat this Steppenwolf, and the future Darkseid, with my power, so that they dare not attack Earth."

Listening to Raven's words, Peter was a little touched, but shook his head and said to his little cotton-padded jacket, "Don't worry, Raven, John, Clark, and Mark can stop Steppenwolf."

On the other side, Boom-Boom looked at Clark, Azu, and Mark, who had awakened their abilities, and felt a little frustrated.

In Patrick Farm, her and Vi's abilities were the weakest.

Even if she wanted to help her father, she didn't have enough power.

Boom-Boom frowned, her heart becoming very melancholy.

She really hoped that one day, she could become a flying superhero like Mark.

On the other side, Steppenwolf brought Gwen Stacy to his temporary base on Earth.

"Amazing, your body actually contains a powerful force."

Steppenwolf stared at Gwen with cold eyes, "Now, tell me, who are you? And how did you acquire this power?"

"No."

Gwen, slightly panting, looked at him, "I have nothing to say to an ugly freak like you."

Enraged by Gwen Stacy, Steppenwolf walked over and grabbed Gwen's hair.

"It seems you don't know what kind of being you've provoked!"

"You want to struggle in vain, but unfortunately, I won't let you get your way."

He said, taking out the mechanical bug that he had interrogated the Atlantean with before.

The silver mechanical bug crawled in front of the struggling Gwen Stacy.

The mechanical arm of the mechanical spider placed it on Gwen's head, and the needle part of the mechanical arm slowly pierced Gwen's skin.

Gwen, whose skin was pierced, let out a muffled groan in pain.

Soon the mechanical bug projected scene after scene from Gwen's mind.

In the ruins of the school auditorium, Gwen, wearing a Spider-Woman suit, hugged Peter Parker, who had transformed back from the Lizard, her face full of pain.

"No, Peter, don't, don't leave me."

Peter Parker slowly reached out his hand and stroked Gwen's tearful face.

"I'm sorry, Gwen, I just... I just wanted to be special like you!"

"No! No! Peter!"

Holding Peter Parker, who had lost his life, Gwen's heart was completely surrounded by pain and despair, and she cried out.

The picture changed.

In an alley shrouded in dark night, Rhino was attacking Gwen's father—George Stacy.

Grabbing a car at random, Rhino threw it at George Stacy, who was shooting with a gun.

In the loud bang, George dodged in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about your daughter anymore, Sergeant, I'll have some fun with your daughter."

Rhino shouted at George as he attacked the embarrassed dodging.

At the critical moment, Gwen Stacy swung over with spider silk, punched Rhino in the face, and knocked him out heavily.

After solving Rhino, Gwen faced her father and took off the mask on her face.

Looking at his daughter's sweaty face, her face full of sad expressions, Sergeant George's face was full of disbelief.

"Gwen, how could it be you?"

He never thought that the murderer who he had been searching for for so long, who had "killed" Peter Parker, would be his daughter!

It turned out that his daughter was Spider-Woman!

"Why... why is it you, Gwen?"

Sergeant George asked her with a painful face.

"You're a good sergeant, Dad."

Gwen said in a calm tone, "Your badge and gun have followed you for a lifetime, because you know that if you don't take them with you, they will fall into the hands of people who don't deserve them."

As Gwen's words were spoken, her sad emotions instantly spread out.

"And this mask is my badge, if I don't determine its meaning"

"The wicked will give it a different meaning, this is where the world needs me."

After finishing speaking to her father, she turned and left.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes in large drops.

After that, the memory projected by the mechanical spider was Gwen Stacy's memory screen in the Invincible Shaoxia world.

Seeing Raven casually destroying the Omnipotent Guardians, Mark's battle with Anissa, Steppenwolf was stunned.

(Gwen watched the video of Raven and Mark fighting in the Guardians' base)

"Peter Patrick?!"

From Gwen's memory projection, Steppenwolf quickly learned that this Earth actually had a guy named Peter Patrick.

This guy who popped out of nowhere, his son and daughter actually possess such great power?!

Who the hell is he?

Why doesn't he know there is a guy named Peter Patrick in other parallel worlds?

A sense of unease gradually spread in his heart.

No no!

Even Peter Patrick and his children can't stop his plan, he will never fail.

Taking back the mechanical spider, Steppenwolf took a deep breath.

Turning his gaze outside, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"Patrick Farm?"

He wanted to see what was different about this farm!

"Are you awake?"

In the redwood forest, the slowly waking Atlantean woke up and saw Oliver looking at him with concern.

He wanted to move, but his body was in pain.

"You're badly injured, it's best not to move. Although I don't know how to treat injuries, I found something to help you bandage your wounds."

Oliver was a little embarrassed to say that he took out the shorts he was wearing inside to help him bandage the wound on his head.

At this time, the Atlantean didn't know that he was wearing underwear on his head.

He coughed and thanked Oliver.

"Thank you... thank you, you saved me, right?"

"No, it wasn't me, it was Spider-Woman."
