"Oh my god, you just watched Steppenwolf take the Mother Box away?"

Watching Steppenwolf disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye with the "Mother Box" he had obtained.

Yi Xiaochuan immediately asked in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid he'll actually collect all three Mother Boxes and blow the entire Earth to pieces?"

"Don't forget how powerful the combined power of the three Mother Boxes is. Even Superman's Man of Steel can't withstand it!"

"I haven't forgotten the horror of the three Mother Boxes merging together."

Chen Hui shrugged nonchalantly upon hearing this and said, "However, if we don't let Steppenwolf take this Mother Box away, how will he have the motivation to grab the other two Mother Boxes?"

"If I don't let Steppenwolf collect all three Mother Boxes, how can I possibly 'keep the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole waits behind'?"

"Do you want me to go to Paradise Island and Atlantis myself and steal the other two Mother Boxes?"

"I know you want to be the last one standing."

Yi Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "But aren't you afraid of accidentally getting into trouble?"

"There is inevitably some risk."

Seeing that a large number of American military aircraft had finally arrived at the metropolis at this moment, they soon engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining "demons" under the control of "Cyborg".

Chen Hui couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "However, as long as the person coming is not Darkseid, I am confident that I can cover the worst and prevent the worst from happening."

Having said this, before Yi Xiaochuan could continue to say anything, Chen Hui casually waved his hand and said, "Alright, no more talk. The vanguard of Apocalypse Star has arrived."

"This is a serious matter. Just in case, I'm going to keep an eye on that Steppenwolf's every move to see what he'll do next."

"As for you, just keep an eye on Bruce Wayne for me and see what follow-up actions he takes."

"do you understand?"

"."

Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel speechless. He silently swallowed back what he wanted to say, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, I understand, Boss."

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

A day later, when the fierce battle in the metropolis came to an end.

'Batman' Bruce Wayne, who finally received the news, rushed to a high-end hospital under the Wayne Group as soon as possible.

Next, after pushing open the door of a high-end ward.

The first thing that caught Bruce Wayne's eye was Dr. Silas Stone, who was lying flat on the hospital bed, his breathing almost silent.

In addition, next to Dr. Silas Stone, at this moment, there was a burly figure wrapped in steel, staring deeply at his biological father who had fallen into a deep coma.

He completely ignored Bruce Wayne who pushed the door open and walked in, as if he didn't exist at all.

Seeing this scene, he took a deep breath.

Bruce Wayne walked up to the statue-like steel giant and asked condescendingly, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Victor Stone?"

".You should call me 'Cyborg'."

Cyborg frowned slightly upon hearing this, as if he had just noticed the other person's presence. He asked in a flat voice, "What do you want from me? The famous Mr. Bruce Wayne."

As he spoke, he glanced up and suddenly changed the subject with a sneer, "Or rather, it should be the famous 'Gotham Knight' - Mr. Batman."

"..."

Long before coming here, Bruce Wayne had already had a general understanding of Cyborg's abilities through various channels.

Therefore, Bruce Wayne was not surprised at all that his identity was exposed.

He simply nodded obediently and said, "Okay, Mr. Cyborg."

Having said this, he took a deep breath.

Bruce Wayne suddenly asked in a serious tone, "Mr. Cyborg, I'm here to ask you a question on behalf of the US government and myself."

"What exactly happened to the riot that occurred in the metropolis a day ago?"

"Excuse me, could you explain this to me in detail?"

Hearing this, Cyborg's eyes flickered unintentionally, and even his breathing became a little faster.

To be fair, Cyborg had taken control of many of the US military's most powerful weapons without even saying hello.

The U.S. government has not yet directly dispatched a large number of troops to surround the hospital, all because of the full coordination of the super-rich Bruce Wayne.

Therefore, knowing that he had unintentionally owed Cyborg a huge favor, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Bruce Wayne, I can give you a piece of advice now."

"Immediately contact all possible forces and unite all available combat forces as much as possible."

"Because, before long, a crisis far more terrifying than the opening of the 'Gate of Hell' and ten times more terrifying, will truly arrive."

Chapter 168: Diana: Steppenwolf is just a pioneer (ask for custom order)

Half a day later, 'Wayne Manor'.

After learning the whole story through the video played by Cyborg.

The superheroes gathered here fell into a dead silence, and no one uttered a word for a long time.

After a while, I couldn't stand this heavy and depressing atmosphere anymore.

Barry Allen, the Flash, was the first to speak up: "Um... I'd like to ask a question."

"Is that 'Apocalypse' really that powerful?"

""

Upon hearing this, Wonder Woman Diana took a deep breath and replied with a stern voice, "Thousands of years ago, the army of Apokolips invaded Earth."

"That great war directly wiped out over 80% of the gods on Earth."

"It can be said that it was precisely because of the heavy losses suffered in the battle with Apocalypse that the major divine systems on Earth completely withdrew from the stage of history, allowing humans to take their place as the masters of this planet."

"OMG"

Barry Allen couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. He was stunned for a long time before asking awkwardly, "So... which one is stronger, this so-called 'Apocalypse' or the 'Krypton' that invaded Earth before?"

After hearing this question, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

After closing her eyes and thinking for a moment, Diana slowly told a truth that made everyone shudder.

"If it were Krypton, a planet still in its prime and still standing, it would probably be on par with Apokolips."

"But if it were those dozen or so Kryptonian remnants who invaded Earth before..."

"All I can say is that 'Apocalypse' is more than a hundred times more terrifying."

As she spoke, in shock that almost made everyone hold their breath, Diana described the horrors of 'Apokolips' one by one, and especially mentioned the extremely terrifying 'Dark Lord' - Darkseid.

"Diana, according to what you said, the Steppenwolf that came to Earth this time should just be a pioneer exploring the way, right?"

"Yes."

After hearing Bruce Wayne's question, Diana nodded and said, "This should just be a test from Apocalypse."

"After all, 'Darkseid' once suffered a great loss here on Earth."

"If he wasn't absolutely sure, he wouldn't dare to act rashly."

“That is to say…”

As the most advanced tactician on Earth, Bruce Wayne quickly understood the key to the whole matter after hearing this. He nodded in understanding and said, "As long as we can stop Steppenwolf this time and prevent him from taking all three Mother Boxes."

"Then, in the short term, Darkseid, who is hiding behind the scenes, shouldn't dare to act rashly, right?"

"That's true in theory."

Diana shook her head and said, "Although Steppenwolf is indeed far inferior to Darkseid, he is still one of the top fighters in Apokolips."

"Add to that the nearly endless number of biological weapons—'Demonoids'—and defeating them will be no easy task."

"No matter what, the most important thing now is to prevent Steppenwolf from taking the remaining two Mother Boxes."

Having said this, after a slight pause, Bruce Wayne stared at Diana and asked, "Diana, do you know where the other two 'Mother Boxes' are now?"

"After the defeat on Apocalypse, the numerous forces on Earth, in order to prevent anyone with ill intentions from using the power of the Mother Box for evil, specifically gave it to three different forces for safekeeping."

Diana explained calmly, "These three forces are—the humans on land, the Kingdom of Atlantis, and... the Amazons, from which I come."

Seeing everyone looking at her after hearing her words, Diana took a deep breath and nodded slowly, saying, "Yes, there is also a 'Mother Box' hidden on 'Paradise Island'."

"Diana."

Hearing this, Bruce Wayne couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Now Steppenwolf has snatched the 'Mother Box' from humans."

"So, his next targets should be the 'Kingdom of Atlantis' under the sea, and the 'Paradise Island' where you were born, right?"

"That's true in theory."

Diana nodded, then slowly shook her head and said, "It's just that the 'Mother Box' in the human's hands was successfully activated by Dr. Silas Stone, so Steppenwolf was able to lock the exact location."

"The two 'Mother Boxes' in the 'Kingdom of Atlantis' and 'Paradise Island' have been dormant for thousands of years. Finding their exact locations is definitely not an easy task."

"Even if it's Steppenwolf, it's impossible to do this in such a short time."

“That being said…”

Bruce Wayne shook his head and said, "But as the saying goes, 'Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst.'"

"This concerns the safety of all mankind. We absolutely cannot afford to take any chances."

As he spoke, Bruce Wayne's eyes slowly swept over the superheroes present, and he said in a deep voice, word by word: "From now on, all of us will split into three groups."

"Diana, Aquaman, the two of you should go to Paradise Island and Atlantis Kingdom as soon as possible and remind them to be extremely vigilant and not allow Steppenwolf any opportunity to take advantage."

Seeing Diana and Aquaman nod in agreement, Bruce Wayne paused briefly before looking at the others and saying, "As for us, we will try to find Steppenwolf and do everything we can to retrieve the Mother Box he stole."

"Um...I have a question."

After hearing this, after hesitating for a moment, 'The Flash' Barry Allen couldn't help but raise his hand somewhat awkwardly and said, "Should we find a way to notify China?"

"After all...that Steppenwolf's strength is probably not inferior to that of the 'Kryptonian'."

"If that 'Mr. Xia' hadn't taken action, I always felt that our chances of winning wouldn't be very high."

"Let's wait for this for now."

Bruce Wayne was silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "We can't rely on Mr. Xia for everything. We have to achieve some results on our own."

"After all, Steppenwolf is just a pioneer of Apokolips. He can't be compared with Darkseid, the truly terrifying Dark Lord."

"With so many of us combined, we wouldn't be able to handle even one vanguard officer."

"Then, I'm afraid both the 'Justice League' and the 'Justice Society' have lost their value in continuing to exist."

"Do you think what I said is right?"

Seeing that everyone was silent after hearing what he said, he couldn't say anything to refute it for a long time.

After waiting for a moment, Bruce Wayne smiled calmly and nodded, saying, "Since no one has any objections."

"Then I will start to act separately. I hope everything goes well."

Chapter 169: The Steppenwolf Entering Paradise Island (Please Customize)

"Oh?"

"Are those superheroes planning to split into three groups and act separately?"

A moment later, above 'Cherlobel'.

Chen Hui, concealed, watched Steppenwolf construct a massive fortress with his newly acquired Mother Box. He then used some of his mental energy to communicate with Yi Xiaochuan in the psychic dimension, saying, "While Steppenwolf's strength is far inferior to Darkseid's, he's a true 'sub-godfather' powerhouse, no less formidable than Hela, the 'Goddess of Death.'"

"Add to that the massive army of demon-like beings. Without a major overlord, I'm afraid no one can deal with him with just the Justice Association and the Justice League."
