He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

Hal's face turned a deep shade of liver; he felt like a clown.

"So... the popcorn guy who hit me wasn't a bad guy after all?"

Barry fell off the wall, rubbing the back of his head as he approached.

All eyes were on Li Ang.

Li Ang elegantly tossed a popcorn into his mouth.

"I've never been a bad person," he chewed slowly. "I'm just a gashapon seller."

Batman's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask.

They sell gashapon toys.

The businessman who turns clowns into monsters.

A businessman who turned steel bones into molecular manipulators.

"Enough!" Diana's angry shout came from afar, interrupting the absurd standoff. "Instead of arguing, come help! This big guy is tough to deal with!"

Then everyone remembered that Steppenwolf was still there.

Diana's situation is not good.

Each swing of Steppenwolf's battle axe carries the weight of an avalanche, and the living armor automatically repairs and strengthens itself after absorbing damage.

Diana's sword could only leave a faint white mark on the armor, and even that mark disappeared three seconds later.

Batman's remote support was far from sufficient.

Explosive batarangs, electric darts, and freeze bombs all failed to penetrate the armor's defenses.

"Ridiculous." Steppenwolf swept his axe across the ground, and Diana raised her shield to take the blow. She was knocked back seven or eight meters, her feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Is that all the insects in the central courtyard can do?"

Steppenwolf's other hand was already reaching for the Mother Box, which Batman had knocked into the corner.

"Get out of here!"

A silver-blue figure crashed into us from the side.

Steelbone charged at full speed, his shoulder slamming into Steppenwolf's side.

The power of the molecular man made the impact of the collision far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, and Steppenwolf's body was pushed five meters away.

"Useless! The two of you can't even beat one of them?"

Cyborg glanced at the disheveled Diana and Batman, his tone utterly unfriendly.

Diana's face fell, but she did not refute.

The facts are clear: Steppenwolf's armor, modified by the other two Mother Boxes, has a defensive capability far exceeding her expectations.

"Get out of the way, I'll handle this." Cyborg stretched out his hands, and silver-blue light patterns lit up wildly.

He wants to use molecular reconstruction.

They disassembled Steppenwolf's armor directly into scrap metal at the atomic level.

The light enveloped the entire Steppenwolf.

The steel skeleton's senses penetrated deep into the surface of the armor, attempting to read the molecular structure...

hum!

A strange repulsive force erupted from inside the armor, forcibly repelling Steelbone's senses.

"What?" Steel Bone's expression changed drastically.

He tried again.

The silver-blue light intensified, attempting to penetrate the defense.

But dark red patterns appeared on the surface of the armor...

That is the energy imprint of the mother box.

Whenever the molecular restructuring force of the steel bone comes into contact with the nail surface, those patterns light up, forming a barrier specifically designed to counter external manipulation.

"No...it won't penetrate!"

The steel bone clenched its back molars.

His skills are still not proficient enough.

The molecular human template has been fused for less than an hour, and the control precision and penetration power are far from reaching their limits.

Steppenwolf's armor is a product modified from the Mother Box, which itself has the ability to be reconstructed and comes with an anti-tampering protocol.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Steppenwolf let out a piercing laugh and swung his battle axe down at Steelbone's head.

"How could a lowly life form like you possibly rewrite the creations of the Mother Box?"

Steelbone dodged to the side, the axe blade grazing his shoulder armor and slicing off a piece of silver-blue metal.

"Since it can't be changed..."

Steel Bone retracted his right fist, and the alloy structure on his arm rapidly reorganized, transforming into an ultra-dense alloy with higher density and greater hardness.

"Then I'll smash you!"

He threw a punch.

Pure physical violence.

Steppenwolf raised his axe to block, and the loud clang of metal clashing made the entire building tremble.

"Attack together!"

Batman made a decisive decision.

Diana no longer hesitated, and attacked with her longsword and lasso of truth at the same time.

She entangled the Steppenwolf's right arm, restricting the range of its battle axe swing.

Batman fired a high-strength steel cable that wrapped around Steppenwolf's legs.

Hal finally realized what was happening, and the green light energy transformed into a giant vise, clamping the Steppenwolf's torso from both sides.

"Me too!"

Barry rubbed his still-aching head, unleashing his full Speed ​​Force, transforming into a red lightning bolt that spun rapidly around Steppenwolf, creating a localized vacuum environment to weaken the energy supply to its living armor.

Five people surrounded them.

The Steppenwolf's habitat was drastically reduced.

Steelbone seized the opportunity and launched alternating punches.

Each punch pushed the alloy density of his arm to its limit, producing a dull metallic clang as it struck the armor.

Although it cannot be destroyed at the molecular level, a purely physical impact is still effective.

Steppenwolf's armor began to show visible dents.

"Let me go!"

Steppenwolf roared furiously, swinging its battle axe wildly, forcing Diana and Hal to retreat.

But the steel frame held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

He extracted metallic elements from the ground, condensing them into dozens of sharp alloy spikes, which he simultaneously shot at the joint gaps of the Steppenwolf from all directions.

Puff puff!

Seven or eight long spikes pierced the joints of the armor, causing no fatal wounds, but successfully restricting Steppenwolf's movements.

"Damn bugs!"

Steppenwolf suddenly unleashed all his strength, shattering the green vise and the steel cable restraints.

He kicked Steelbone away, and his battle axe swept across, forcing everyone back and clearing a space around him.

However, his armor was riddled with holes, and the rate of physical repair was clearly not keeping up with the wear and tear.

The Steppenwolf looked around.

Five enemies surrounded him.

Although the molecular manipulator couldn't directly dismantle his armor, its physical damage output was ridiculously high.

The Amazon warriors' swordsmanship is tricky, Green Lantern's energy structure limits his mobility, and Flash's vacuum spin continuously weakens the armor's self-repair efficiency.

And that bat...

Despite being the weakest, he always managed to interrupt his attacks at the most crucial moments with those disgusting little gadgets.

Even worse, sitting in the corner was the monster eating popcorn and a blond giant who called himself Thor.

Those two didn't move at all from beginning to end.

What if they join the fight...?

Steppenwolf made a judgment.

"I've written down today's accounts."

He slammed his battle axe into the ground, unleashing a dark red shockwave that knocked everyone back.

Taking advantage of that brief moment of opening, a beam of light enveloped him.

"Chase them!" Diana shouted.

"Don't chase him," Batman stopped her. "He didn't get the Mother Box, his mission wasn't accomplished, he'll come back."

Steelbone stood still, his silver-blue armor slowly receding.

He looked down at his hands, his face full of resentment.

Molecular reconstruction is ineffective for mother box creation.

This discovery greatly upset him.

Don't look so gloomy.

Li Ang's voice came from behind.

Steelbone turned around and saw the gashapon merchant throwing an empty popcorn bucket into the trash can and patting the crumbs off his hands.

"You've only been fused with the molecular human template for an hour, and you already want to make changes to a creation at the mother box level?" Li Ang raised a finger and shook it. "Haste makes waste."

"Once you expand the control radius from three meters to thirty meters, and improve the penetration accuracy by two orders of magnitude..."

Li Ang walked to the door and glanced back at Steelbone.

"That armor is no different from paper in front of you."

Steelbone clenched his fists, but didn't say anything.

Batman stepped forward, his expression behind the mask extremely complex.

He glanced at Steel Bones, then at Li Ang's disappearing figure.

"Li Ang".

"Um?"

"Steppenwolf will come again; he's going to collect all three Mother Boxes."

Li Ang stopped and turned his head.

"so?"

"So I need to know..." Batman's voice was low, "that you have anything in your store that can deal with the Mother Box."

Li Ang did not answer immediately.

He simply pulled a black metal business card from his pocket, flicked it with his index finger, and the card traced an arc before nestling neatly into the gap of the bat symbol on Batman's chest.

"The usual rules."

"Bring money."
