2188 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 29

In the engine room, a huge figure with two horns on his head had Victor's father up against a wall.

Suddenly, a figure burst through the old metal door and slashed at his back.

The huge figure reacted quickly and blocked the attack with a huge ax.

Looking at Diana's outfit, his gray face twisted into a hideous smile. "Amazon!"

A fierce battle instantly broke out.

The battle goddess used her longsword to open a way, and Master Wayne and Luke charged in.

But before that, Barry, who had been taking deep breaths, had already disappeared.

Before Victor, who knew that Barry was going to save his father first, could feel worried, Barry reappeared in front of him.

The man he was holding was none other than Victor's father.

Barry asked, "Is this your father?"

Victor nodded blankly. That… was too fast. He hadn't even gathered his emotions yet.

Barry heaved a sigh of relief. "Then… hang on a tick. There are still a few people inside. Are we bringing them out together?"

Victor nodded.

There was faint excitement and eagerness on Barry's face. He disappeared and reappeared with a swoosh, and a second lab employee was brought out.

Victor: Holy sh*t!

While the two new teammates were still getting used to each other, the three old partners inside were already on a killing spree.

Without Superman, the battle goddess had become a super tank worthy of the rank.

Her sword and shield worked together to attack and defend at the same time. She fought back and forth against Steppenwolf's strange giant ax, and didn't fall to a disadvantage.

Luke couldn't help but look down on Steppenwolf. That was it? He had the cheek to look down on the Amazons?

Except for some special existences, the populace of most races were made up of ordinary individuals.

Luke could beat up billions of Earthlings back home, but did that prove that Earthlings were weak?

Even putting aside Inhumans like Skye and Emma, along with the Hulk, Wanda and Pietro, and Steve in his nanosuit, were all ridiculously strong in certain aspects in which even Luke couldn't compare.

As for this DC universe, Barry had already rescued Victor's father, but Steppenwolf hadn't even noticed.

Given his level, he had the cheek to look down on the battle goddess?

In just a few seconds of watching the fight between Steppenwolf and the battle goddess, Luke confirmed that this guy was far inferior to Doomsday.

Perhaps Steppenwolf had other abilities, but in terms of head-on combat, he didn't have crushing strength.

No wonder this guy had been sneaking around all this time and only got the Parademons to look for people; he had only shown up in person to take the Mother Box from the Amazons.

Em~ Wait, why did it feel like he was the sort of guy who talked trash but was actually a coward?

To be honest, the threat he posed stemmed from the large number of flying, attacking Parademons under him.

The Parademons were once intelligent beings that had been caught by Steppenwolf and transformed.

The deeper their fear of him, the stronger the Parademon they turned into.

These Parademons had the ability to sense and absorb fear. Thus, the more they were feared, the stronger they became.

Unfortunately, none of the three people who had charged in thought much of the Parademons.

While Diana fought Steppenwolf on her own, Master Wayne, who had already had the arc reactor for a while, unleashed his might.

His armor previously had an auxiliary power system, but that was mainly to reduce the weight of the armor.

Now, the armor had a 'heart,' and could deal maximum damage.

A casual punch here, and a kick there, and Parademons were sent flying.

And this took into account how durable the armor was. Otherwise, it wouldn't be hard to pierce and shatter the Parademons with a punch that weighed several tons.

For Master Wayne, who had full combat ability, a punch that weighed hundreds of kilograms was enough for him.

At the very least, the Parademons didn't have magical abilities that could slow him down or restrain his movements; it was like an expert fighter beating up small fry.

He didn't stop moving, to avoid being surrounded. At the same time, he took down the soldiers around him.

On the other side, Luke was even more straightforward. As was Knight's customary practice, he didn't use blades or guns; his main weapon was two metal batons.

Ordinary extendable batons only reached 50 to 60 centimeters in length, but the two in his hands could extend over two meters at their longest, which made them no different from staffs.

The difference was that the end of each staff had a retractable spearhead; it wasn't wrong to call them extendable spears.

The Muto alloy couldn't do anything to a super boss like Doomsday, but against the Parademons, it was no different from stabbing pork.

The chests and brains of the two Parademons that had lunged at him were pierced, and dark green fluid splattered in the air.

From this point of view, it made sense when Barry called them insects.

Luke wasn't afraid of insects – on the contrary, he hated many types of insects, so he didn't hold back as he spun and pulled out the two spears.

The two Parademons were sent smashing into the wall with muffled bangs.

As he landed on the ground, Luke stabbed two more Parademons, one in the back and the other in the chest.

He didn't need to pull his arms back as the long spears instantly turned into short spears.

The two Parademons that had just pounced on Master Wayne from above were skewered like pork belly.

Master Wayne didn't even want to thank him; he had been ready and waiting to kick out.

Just like that, two blackish-gray shadows jumped around in the huge tunnel as they fought the Parademons.

In the center of the tunnel, there was the clanging of metal and sparks flew as Steppenwolf and the battle goddess fought. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who was winning.

However, Steppenwolf was feeling a little uneasy.

That was because of the green fluid that was being splattered around by Master Wayne and Luke.

In less than a minute, more than half of the 100 or so Parademons were dead, but they hadn't dealt any effective damage.

Master Wayne, whom Luke had upgraded with advanced technology from back home, was much stronger than the last time they fought Doomsday.

Even though he didn't have the plasma propulsion technology yet to fly, he was still able to take down the flying Parademons in this confined space.

It was even more of a breeze for Luke.

These Parademons were just small fry. As long as they didn't interfere in the fight between the leaders, there was no difference in killing more or fewer of them.

Their real target was Steppenwolf.

If Luke was confident that cutting off this guy's head with one slash was enough to guarantee that he couldn't be 'resurrected,' he really wouldn't mind snatching the battle goddess' weapon and doing the deed.

Unfortunately, these two were fighting fiercely on a metal walkway close to the middle of the tunnel, and clearly had yet to use their full strength.

Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Steppenwolf decisively swung his ax.

A light blue teleportation passage appeared in the air and enveloped Steppenwolf as he started to rise up.

At the same time, a large number of Parademons roared and flew out of the tunnel toward the Justice League.
