Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 582 Outpost (Please subscribe and read further, and recommend with monthly tickets!)
As soon as Dick realized something was wrong, he gave the order to retreat. All the teams that had infiltrated Savage's controlled area began to retreat outwards through the previously set escape routes.

The team that infiltrated the industrial facilities in the tower had just left when the energy that the tower was spewing into the sky turned into a slurry. The disrupted spatial state began to spread outward, and the space around the tower fell into a state of stillness, rendering all the weapons trapped inside unable to move.

All of this happened so fast that the entire space entered this state in an instant, leaving no time to react.

Dick and the team that infiltrated the tower were also affected; they were like insects frozen in amber, unable to move even a finger.

"Rong En, we're locked in a frozen space. Please help."

Dick and his companions were physically locked in space, rendering all instruments unusable, but their consciousness remained connected to Martian Manhunter, sending him a distress signal directly.

The researchers at the command center located the coordinates of each group, used the Mother Box to open the sonic boom channel, and directly transferred Dick and his team to a safe area.

When Dick was frozen, his body was still in a running posture. Suddenly, he was shifted by the sonic boom. The direction of his force did not change, and he fell directly to the ground, rolling several times before stopping.

"what's the situation?"

Ignoring all that, Dick jumped up from the ground and asked where the power to lock the space came from.

"Savage is using some kind of technology to amplify the power of the Mother Box, thereby affecting the surrounding space. But this is only a side effect. Headquarters has detected that sonic booms are forming, and it is expected that Savage has received support from Apokolips and that an army of Parademons, or even more dangerous enemies, will descend upon Earth."

Martian Manhunter didn't go to the front lines; he was arranging logistics. Apokolips wasn't like Savage, who was used to living underground. To deal with them, they would have to go all out.

"Diana has ordered all troops to prepare to advance, with the first phase of the operation being to cut off the sonic boom. Headquarters has begun a general mobilization, preparing to switch to wartime production. I'm just helping out now; I'll return to headquarters once frontline logistics have stabilized."

Martian Manhunter was in charge of the Alliance's personnel affairs, and at this time, he had to return to headquarters to ensure the mobilization work could proceed.

"Holy crap, is Apokolips going to launch a full-scale invasion? Where is Martin?"

Dick wasn't surprised by the appearance of Apokolips's army; the Justice League had been publicizing the threat from Apokolips every day, which had already prepared them for the worst.

“Even if this isn’t a full-scale invasion, the main force of Apokolips won’t be far off. Don’t go to the front lines; come back to headquarters with me. There are still many families scattered throughout the Alliance, and we need you to gather them together and move them to a safe place.”

Dick felt somewhat regretful in the face of Martian Hunter's orders; deep down, he preferred to fight on the front lines.

However, he now understands the importance of discipline, so when faced with orders, he doesn't hesitate but immediately begins to help the Martian hunters.

As for the task of transferring the families of the alliance members, it was also suitable for him, since most of these people were in the United States, and it would be easier for Dick to move around in the United States.

"Don't run around!"

While ordering the troops to be deployed, Diana also reminded Superman not to act rashly.

“You are the Alliance’s biggest trump card. If you get into trouble because of Apokolips’s schemes, then we’ll be in real trouble.”

Superman was naturally unconvinced and wanted to argue for himself, but he suddenly remembered several times in the past when he was influenced by others, and he lost his confidence. He could only obey Diana's orders.

"This is too unfortunate. Just when Martin went to change his identity, Savage found the Apokolips army to provide support. Could there be something wrong with this?"

“Savage and his men have never figured out Martin’s background, so they’re naturally wary of him. Don’t overthink it. Martin will show up when he’s supposed to. We just need to win this battle.”

Diana said this, but she also had considerable worries in her heart.

No matter how much of a bastard Savage is, he is still a human being, and all his strategies and tactics are predictable and not surprising.

However, as an extraterrestrial civilization, Apokolips' tactics would certainly differ from those of Earth's armies.

Diana didn't know exactly what the difference was, and the records of Paradise Island were from 10,000 years ago.

Therefore, she devised the plan to raid the tower. As long as the sonic boom channel was destroyed and the continuous flow of troops from Apokolips was cut off, the enemy's combat capability would be greatly weakened.

"I'm just glad that the previous two battles weren't too troublesome, otherwise Savage could have wiped us all out in one go if he had called in Apokolips support."

Diana genuinely felt she was lucky this time; although Sazara was eager to fight, her strength was only average.

Although the other parties had the strength, they had no intention of continuing the war, so the Allied forces did not suffer heavy losses. Otherwise, even if Martin were still awake, they would not have been able to continue the war.

After a moment of reflection, Diana put aside all her thoughts, put a cold face on her face, and focused all her energy on commanding the battle.

Superman wanted to rush out first, but he was stopped.

“Savage isn’t stupid; he couldn’t possibly be without precautions against us. If we advance rashly now, we could very well fall into their trap.”

Superman couldn't refute Diana's reasons, so he could only endure it for the time being and stay in the command center, summarizing the battlefield situation with the staff.

Meanwhile, the towers in Savage's controlled area continuously spewed energy, turning the sky above them into a dark red color. The light, capable of instilling fear, refracted through layers and shone onto the earth, dyeing everything into a terrifying scene like hell.

Endless resentment arose in the hearts of the living, and they found everything around them displeasing, wanting to destroy, control, and make everything obey their will.

Driven by this emotion, the people in the area controlled by Savage quickly went mad, destroying everything in their path and forcing those around them to obey their orders.

But everyone thought the same way, so they turned their attention to others, wanting to kill those who opposed them and seize the last bit of power.

Parents, wives, children, brothers... all the moral order disappeared, and all people turned from humans into beasts, and then from beasts into corpses.

Savage watched all this with a cold eye, expressionless, not even thinking about the dead people, but constantly urging his men to speed up the formation of the sonic boom.

“Great Master, isn’t it too wasteful of us to do this? Those people outside are your loyal followers, and they could have done so much more for you. It would be such a waste for them to die like this.”

"They're just a bunch of mortals; there's no use in keeping them alive. Let them die like this, becoming sacrifices to expand the sound channel. That's putting them to good use."

Savage knew that his officers weren't truly worried about the deaths of civilians, but rather about being abandoned if the Apokolipian army attacked. And these officers weren't wrong; Savage didn't care about their lives either, even if they were related to him by blood.

But what does that matter? It's just a combination of a few sperm and an egg.

Savage could produce a large number of offspring whenever he wanted, and these so-called offspring were just tools compared to himself.

"The Justice League came on strong, wanting nothing more than to wipe us all out. But Apokolips is no better; they're using us as tools too."

Savage sighed dramatically. He was the one who made all the decisions, so how could he not know what the consequences would be?

However, a group of officers spoke up, expressing their loyalty to Savage.

In their view, as long as Savage still had desires, he would not abandon the officers who were loyal to him.

These people weren't without the idea of ​​independence, but with the Justice League at their gates and Savage's mark on them, where could they possibly run to?
No matter what Savage planned to do with these officers, they were willing to do anything to escape this ordeal.

Savage didn't say anything more. He was ready to escape, but he didn't act immediately. He planned to wait until Apokolips and the Justice League's army started fighting before carrying out his escape plan.

Apokolips isn't some easy target to fool. If those rock-headed guys saw Savage running away before the war even started, they'd definitely kill Savage first before going after the Justice League.

"Push the energy to the maximum. It's time to show those arrogant little guys in the Justice League the terror of the universe."

At Savage's command, the energy erupting from all the towers transformed into beams of light that pierced into space, tearing open a massive wound.

When the wound appeared, the space's self-healing process began. At this time, the Mother Box created a large number of small popping channels to fill the wound that had been torn open in the space, forming a channel that directly connected to Apokolips.

Wow!

The moment the passage was formed, the Parademons of Apokolips surged out of it like a torrent, appearing from afar like a black waterfall hanging in the sky.

As soon as the Parademons landed, they quickly spread out, taking over all the key points of Savage's controlled area, centered around the tower.

They took out something that looked like a seed and threw it into the ground. A second later, black metal sprouted from the ground, forming black walls that connected with other points to form a defensive line.

The interconnected defensive lines eventually formed a massive fortress that enveloped the entire area, crammed with all sorts of machine guns and cannons, gradually expanding outwards and turning Savage's territory into a prelude to the Apokolips invasion of Earth.

Once the current sentinel is established, what flies out of the tunnel are no longer human-sized Parademons, but all sorts of small transport vehicles.

These transports were also massive machines developed by Desard from basic Parademons, specifically designed to destroy enemy defenses on the battlefield.

Is this Earth?

Big Bada emerged from the passage. She was a full three meters tall and wore full metal armor, but instead of a helmet, she wore something that looked like an accessory.

"What a backward planet, I haven't seen anything interesting here."

Rashina, also from the Nemesis team, wore a black bodysuit covered in spikes, with a steel whip wrapped around her right arm.

When Big Bada heard her sisters' comments about Earth, she frowned, but quickly concealed her emotions.

As an outlier among the vengeful goddesses, Big Badah had long been dissatisfied with Apokolips.

The team's previous captain, Corelli, was punished by the kind grandmother simply for being dissatisfied with the high level of death during the team's training. She later tried to escape but failed and died in Big Bada's arms, which made Big Bada realize the truth about the abuse she had suffered.

After that, Big Badah met Scott Free, the adopted son of the Father and Darkseid.

For the political purpose of a ceasefire, the new generation planetary ruler, Izaya, and the ruler of Doomsday, Darkseid, exchanged their sons to maintain the truce.

Orion and Scott were the hostages exchanged between the two sides.

Scott was also trained under the kind grandmother, which is how Big Barda met him and became his secret lover. She sacrificed her chance to escape from Apokolips to help her lover Scott escape.

What Big Barda didn't know was that Scott had already escaped to Earth.

For so many years, she has kept her feelings hidden, all in order to find a second chance to escape.

She thought she would never have such an opportunity again in her life, but the Apokolips attack on Earth gave her a glimmer of hope.

In order to seize this opportunity, Dabada suppressed her emotions and dared not show any of them, because in addition to the two vengeful goddesses, they were also followed by Dessard's latest work.

That is a life form created with the power of the new god. Although it does not have the authority of the new god, it has the body of the new god race and is equally deadly.

Big Badah said to Rashina, "Savage is not a trustworthy human. To prevent him from plotting anything, I will stay in the center and entrust the task of commanding the front-line battle to you. Keep half of Lord Disad's work, and take the rest to the front!"

"it is good!"

Rashina accepted the mission without any doubt and happily led his men to the front lines.

The competition within the Nemesis team is fierce. Encouraged by their kind grandmother, they will use any means necessary to win the captaincy.

This time, Big Badah naturally relinquished the credit, and Rashina, of course, did not refuse, accepting the command without hesitation.

"Send half of your men to keep an eye on Savage, and report back to me immediately if there is any movement."

Big Badah continued to divide the forces around her, and once only a quarter of the new gods remained, she assigned them tasks one by one.

Although it didn't remove these guys from our side, it did distract them.
