2196 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 37

Steppenwolf, who felt that he was strong, simply blocked with the giant ax in his right hand as he reached for Victors neck with his left hand.

The foot falling from above suddenly sped up. At the same time, it twisted strangely and swung around the ax to hit Steppenwolf in the face.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of metal colliding with flesh was crystal clear, and Steppenwolf was sent flying.

Before he could collect his thoughts, he was sent flying further by cannonfire.

The key still lay with the Mother Boxes.

Once Earth was transformed, the Justice League would be successfully suppressed and would fail.

After Victor separated the Mother Boxes, the crisis on Earth would be over, and they could besiege Steppenwolf.

Even if Steppenwolf escaped this time, Master Wayne could use the Mother Boxes to come up with countless schemes to screw the other party over in the future.

That was also the reason why Steppenwolf hadnt gone outside for reinforcements from the Parademons during the fight in the hall.

Luke didnt feel smug after dealing with the guy twice. Instead, he frowned and looked at the teleportation pa.s.sage not far away.

This thing was actually still active, and Parademons were coming out nonstop, making it impossible for him to do anything.

Without any hesitation, the armor on Lukes leg opened up and fired a black hole missile.

The black hole missile hit a Parademon that had just crawled out of the pa.s.sage.

There was no explosion, only a faint hiss, and the rapidly expanding distorted s.p.a.ce covered most of the pa.s.sage.

Unexpectedly, the distortion and the constantly fluctuating pa.s.sage seemed to react with each other, and both of them started to fluctuate and rapidly become very unstable.

Boom!

The teleportation pa.s.sage shattered, and the violent energy turned the Parademons inside the pa.s.sage to dust.

Lukes expression froze. He flashed to Victors side and created a large s.h.i.+eld which he smashed into the ground.

Wild energy swept out, blowing away both parties inside the hall.

The battle G.o.ddess could still withstand it with her divine s.h.i.+eld, but Master Wayne and Arthur were sent flying.

Seeing that the situation wasnt good, Barry was the first to slip away to find cover.

Steppenwolf roared, clearly angry and anxious, but he had no choice but to retreat in the face of the violent energy.

After the explosion, he realized that there was a problem with the teleportation between this location and his base, and he could no longer open the teleportation pa.s.sage.

This also meant that Steppenwolf had suddenly become a lone wolf. Until the teleportation pa.s.sage was restored, he couldnt even escape.

After the violent energy shock wave, both parties immediately took action.

The morale of the Justice League skyrocketed, and Diana and Arthur lunged at Steppenwolf excitedly.

The high and mighty Steppenwolf was finally afraid.

Without any hesitation, he fled the hall to find reinforcements.

For the first time, he regretted using just the teleportation pa.s.sage to rush over and take over this tower.

It was because he no longer had any misgivings after Superman left.

Once the Mother Boxes successfully transformed Earth, he could become a new G.o.d, and no longer had to fear Supermans return at least, that was what he had thought.

Even now, he was just worried that Superman would destroy the process of the Mother Boxes fusing together, and wasnt afraid.

In his hurry, he hadnt been able to bring too many things with him, plus the teleportation pa.s.sage was only two meters in diameter.

Small-scale soldiers like the Parademons could come through the teleportation pa.s.sage, but not large battles.h.i.+ps and fighter planes.

From Steppenwolfs communication with Lex before the latter died, he had gotten an idea of the level of technology which Earth had.

With the might of tens of thousands of Parademons, he didnt have to worry about Earths armies at all.

Earths armies, which used inferior weapons and equipment, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Parademons.

Even if they had nuclear weapons, Steppenwolf could put up a barrier against them after obtaining the Mother Boxes.

That was also why he had been sneaking around and only started making noise after obtaining the Mother Boxes.

Who knew that apart from Superman, there was also the Justice League.

Now, the Justice League was actually using firepower to suppress him.

Steppenwolf felt like a bigshot with a private army who would go out on the streets with just a few bodyguards every now and then; in the end, however, he was surrounded by a street gang and p.i.s.sed his pants.

It was a bittersweet feeling.

After giving up on the Mother Boxes for the time being, Steppenwolf was furious and raised his ax. Idiots, spread out. Keep attacking from the ground and the sky. We dont have to kill them. We just need to tie them down at close range.

At his specific instructions, the horde of Parademons outside immediately charged forward.

Although they were still densely packed together in the air, they seemed more like specks of mosquitoes scattered around.

They charged at the tower in this scattered formation.

The way they were dispersed reduced the lethality of the high explosive bullets by more than ten times.

What had just been mindless swoops downward turned into swift, sharp dives which made use of the terrain and debris to advance.

Master Wayne, who had only felt good for less than a minute, immediately felt terrible; it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

This was what a typical battlefield was like.

On this wide battlefield, the distance between both parties was huge, and they could only use a bullet screen to blind the enemy.

Otherwise, the only way was to find a suitable city s.p.a.ce and engage in the cruelest street battle to increase the lethality of the bullets.

No matter how good Lukes firepower support gear was, it was impossible to block a large number of demons for a long time.

Soon, the scattered demons broke through Luke and Master Waynes line of fire and charged within 100 meters of the tower to clash with the Justice League.

If they didnt want to injure their own teammates, they could only give up on firing at the Parademons that slipped through.

After all, both sides were moving, and every energy bullet fired could become a stray bullet.

It didnt matter if dozens or hundreds of the Parademons were taken down; there were only four members of the Justice League; weak little Barry simply stayed inside to protect Victor as the latter dismantled the bomb.

Arthur had just attacked Steppenwolf a few times, when two Parademons crashed into him and bit him.

Arthur smashed their heads together and felt sick. His armor wasnt fancy-looking to begin with, and the Parademons were only making it smelly and green. That was too much!

Dianas rhythm was also disrupted by the onslaught of Parademons. When Steppenwolf swung his ax at her, she could only block it with her s.h.i.+eld.

She had been in a hurry, and Steppenwolf was ready and waiting as he instantly sent her rolling dozens of meters over the ground.

She had just put on the nanosuit which Luke had given her before this. The battle G.o.ddess shook her head and got up. Knight, we wont be able to keep this up for much longer.

Luke sighed. I didnt want to make things too big, but it seems I underestimated Steppenwolf.

Before he finished speaking, dense fiery streaks fell from the sky, like a sudden meteor shower.
