I, V, Gotham Legend

"That person? Who is he?" The giant turned his head. He understood the English spoken by Grodd without any difficulty.

"You don't know each other." Valerie curled her lips. She thought she had found a clue.

"His name is Desaad, you should know him. He should have informed you about me! I made the Mother Box specifically to help you!" Grodd pointed at the Flash not far away with his chin, which was still movable.

"No one has informed me, but I do know Desaad." Steppenwolf looked at the gorilla Grodd, his tone full of hope, "Are you Darkseid's messenger?"

"Darkseid? Yes! Darkseid!" Grod nodded desperately, "I'm in danger now! Save me!"

Half a year ago, Grodd tried to lead the gorilla army to conquer Central City, but the plan was stopped by the Flash and the police before it even began.

Having lost everything, Grodd fled in a panic to the subway, licking his wounds in the dark and damp underground.

In the dark life of recuperation, Grodd studied how to further improve his abilities. He spread his brain waves and tried to recruit people.

Just like being hit by a flowerpot while passing by, Grodd accidentally connected to a brain wave that was incompatible with this planet, and it was obvious that he was searching for something.

Grodd overestimated his own abilities and tried to use his abilities to control the brain waves, but then he was crushed to the ground by the mighty force of the ocean.

At that time, he was pressed to the ground like a toad by an invisible force, and his soul seemed to have traveled tens of thousands of light years to meet a god he had never seen before.

Fortunately, in the eyes of this being, Grod was probably just like a toad. After a round of arguing for mercy, Grod was spared.

Perhaps it was because of desire that Grodd did not hide away immediately after being spared. Instead, he carefully contacted the brain wave again. This time, even though he knew that the other party could not see him, he still prostrated himself on the ground, longing for the gods to accept him.

It seems that the existence of that party also needs someone to help him. Grodd has obtained the admission ticket to Apokolips. As long as he gives the Mother Box to Steppenwolf, he can become a member of Apokolips.

Grodd seemed to have regained his life goal. In the past, as a self-proclaimed superior ape, he had always regarded ruling humans as his life goal, but now, he had a higher ideal.

To this end, he gave up rebuilding the gorilla army and concentrated on transforming his own mind control ability, placing informants in the homeless underground network throughout the central city to search for the Mother Box.

This underground kingdom built by mind control even spanned several cities. His hard work paid off, and his homeless group found Silas who was on a business trip in Star City at the time.

A group of homeless people kidnapped Silas and returned to Central City. They went directly to the room on the subway line and faced Grodd who was still recovering from his injuries.

After controlling Silas's mind, Grodd finally found the clue to what he had been looking for for a long time. He was so excited that he even swallowed his most hated banana.

Grodd spent the night brainwashing Silas into forgetting his visit to Central City, while also planting the meme that brought the Mother Box deep in his mind.

There is no suspense about the subsequent developments. Silas' subconscious has been controlled by Grodd, and he himself doesn't know why he brought the most dangerous treasure in the laboratory to participate in his son's competition.

Grodd was going crazy, he thought his plan was flawless, the hidden location, the means of binding his abilities to the lives of homeless people, and his ability to make almost no mistakes made him feel that he could walk sideways in front of all types of superheroes.

But things didn't go as planned. Who could have thought that a brainless person would show up halfway? !

At this time, Grodd's lower body was kneeling on the ground, and his upper body was still locked by Valerie. He humbly asked for help from the Steppenwolf, his posture was like a dog.

The Steppe Wolf thought for a few seconds and finally took action. He stretched out his hand behind him, as if to catch something.

About two seconds later, an axe flashing yellow sparks flew over from behind the Steppe Wolf.

He grabbed the axe, then used inertia to swing it above his head. The axe was raised above his head, and yellow lightning poured out and spread to the ceiling.

"I should get the Mother Box first." Steppenwolf announced his choice. He ignored Grodd who was still begging for help and strode towards the Flash.

As soon as Barry took the medicine, he could feel his bones itching and numb, as if he was recovering faster.

He was very familiar with this feeling. After just obtaining the speed force, he often ran himself to pieces. Therefore, this fastest man also felt that his own healing speed could also be described as "fast".

The Flash raised his head and looked at the four-meter-tall giant raising an axe towards him. He raised the corner of his mouth and snorted in disdain.

Just as he was about to activate the speed force and turn into lightning in front of the monster playing with lightning, a figure flashed to his side first.

Superman stood in front of Steppenwolf and caught the axe that Steppenwolf chopped off.

The heavy and white palm collided with the axe, which looked to be of considerable weight, making a clanging sound like metal collision.

Looking at Superman who remained motionless under the pressure of Steppenwolf, the Flash's heart was filled with a sense of security.

On the other side, Grodd, who was being held down by Valerie, had already realized that he was being ignored.

The cold reality woke him up. He thought that he could become a member of Apocalypse if he made great contributions, but in fact, these people might not take him seriously at all.

"It seems that you are useless. If you want to live, you'd better cooperate... release these hostages!" Valerie said, and the mantis knife in her forearm slowly popped out.

Grodd could feel the electric current spreading through his body. His back, which was protected by hair, was cut and bleeding. He closed his eyes: "Okay! I can release the hostages."

The helmet lit up with a flickering yellow light, and the tentacle-like wires rose up as if dancing.

The effect was very significant. The people around who were originally controlled trembled and then fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut.

"Very good...you..."

Before Valerie could finish her words, Grodd had already raised his head, his eyes glaring at Superman who had taken Steppenwolf's axe with ease.

The lights on the headband flashed, and the instruments even began to smoke. He concentrated all his strength to get himself the most powerful puppet.

Valerie realized that this guy was not honest, so she immediately drew her knife and chopped off Grodd's head.

The sharp mantis knife easily cut the spine, and the gorilla's head flew up with blood, looking like it was pushed up by a column of blood.

Although Valerie reacted quickly enough, the severed head still had a few seconds to think.

Grodd glared at Superman, like a dying ghost trying his best to curse his most hated enemy.

Superman, who was still showing off his strength to Steppenwolf, suddenly widened his eyes and blood flowed down his nostrils.

Grodd brainwashed Superman in his last moments, so he didn't have time to give any specific orders, but now that his head is gone, he can't give any orders either.

The brainwashed Superman only felt the world spinning, and Grodd's last obsession before his death became his goal.

I'm going to destroy the world.

Superman's eyes lit up red and his heat vision shot out, directly hitting Steppenwolf's armored belly. He was pushed to the other end of the subway line by the high-temperature laser.

The air was distorted by the high temperature. Superman turned his head slightly and looked at Valerie coldly with residual warmth in his eyes.

Looking at Superman's strange expression, Valerie knew what had happened, and she called Batman speechlessly.

"Just as you expected, this guy is mind-controlled... Damn it, I owe you money for a meal." Valerie said viciously.

After knowing that there was a mysterious person with the ability to control brains under the subway, Valerie made a bet with Batman. The stakes were the cost of a meal, and the bet was whether Superman's brain could also be controlled.

By the way, Superman himself also participated, but he would not vote.

Now, Valerie and Superman both owe Batman money for a meal, so the price of Master Wayne's lunch should be astonishing.

However, Batman did not lament his victory. After receiving the information he had guessed from Valerie's communication, he immediately ordered: "Act according to the plan."

"OK." Valerie nodded and waved to the Flash.

Superman's eyes were already shining. The Flash knew the situation was urgent. He made a starting gesture and then rushed towards Valerie holding the Mother Box.

The speed force was activated, and the Flash seemed to have jumped into another world. Time seemed to have stood still, but the Flash slowly turned his head and saw that Superman's eyes were following his own.

This guy can keep up with the Speed ​​Force!

The Flash realized that something was wrong, so he quickened his pace and increased his speed as he rushed towards Valerie.

In Valerie's eyes, there were not so many twists and turns. In just a moment, the Flash rushed in front of Valerie.

"This part of yours is very important, don't make any mistakes." Valerie warned, she took out a fluorescent green gem from her pocket and put it into the Flash's hand.

NO14. A play

Superman's eyes glowed red, and the air seemed to distort as his heat vision converged.

The Flash took the kryptonite and threw the Mother Box to Valerie. Then he rushed towards Superman head-on.

Heat vision sprayed out, and the Flash dodged the shot by leaning down. He ran in a ninja-like posture and rushed to Superman in the blink of an eye.

The Flash then held the Kryptonite in his left hand and punched Superman in the head.

Lying on the ground, Victor Stone, who was still thinking, could only see a flash of lightning before Superman was knocked to the ground.

"This guy really doesn't dodge?!" The Flash looked at the kryptonite in his hand, then looked at Superman lying on the ground, and said in surprise.

Superman propped up his upper body on the ground, wiped the blood from his nose, and veins bulged on his temples.

"Give him a few more punches, the gorilla is already dead, this guy will wake up sooner or later," Valerie ordered.

The Flash nodded in understanding, and he shook his fist at Superman again.

Perhaps Clark's own consciousness was also fighting against the violent power that brainwashed him, and Superman fell to the ground without resistance.

The Flash's super speed force allows him to throw countless punches in a few seconds, which to outsiders looks like vibration mode.

“Snap, snap.”

Just as the Flash was about to throw a few more punches, the sound of footsteps on the wet floor was heard again.

The steppe wolf staggered over, a large piece of his armor burned off by the heat vision, revealing skin that looked like dry land.

He glanced at Grodd, who was lying on the ground with his head detached, and glared at Valerie with cold eyes: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"That's enough. It's your fault that you didn't save him." Valerie took out the Mother Box from her pocket and shook it at Steppenwolf. "You wanted the Mother Box, didn't you? It's in my hand now."

Steppenwolf glanced at the Flash who was holding Superman's collar and looking at him, snorted coldly, and rushed towards Valerie without hesitation.

The world slowed down in Valerie's eyes, and she immediately jumped onto the ceiling. The mantis knife popped out of her forearm and stabbed into the ceiling.

The Steppenwolf was very fast, but not so fast that she couldn't catch up. Valerie narrowly jumped over his head.

Steppenwolf stopped immediately and swung his battle axe behind him. The axe, carrying an electric current, hit Valerie's waist.

Valerie flew backwards with electric sparks all over her body and embedded herself in the wall. She took a deep breath and quickly checked her physical condition, finding that she was not injured.

Steppenwolf turned around and looked at Miss V who had pulled herself off the wall, and raised the axe again: "You are different from the others on this planet."

"So, you have killed a lot of people?" Valerie waved the conspicuous Mother Box in her hand, not looking panicked at all.

Valerie could feel that there was only a few breaths of distance between herself and Steppenwolf, but she still tried to show off the Mother Box in her hand in front of this guy as if she was asking for death.

This is one of their plans. The mother box in Valerie's hand now is a fake. It is a small teleportation device she specially built.

It is almost only similar to the real Mother Box in appearance. Valerie doesn't know whether Steppenwolf has the means to distinguish the authenticity of the Mother Box. At present, it seems that he does not have it.

The tracker installed on the Tomahawk before was easily removed, so this time Valerie made one that was difficult to remove.

She was going to "reasonably" lose this thing to Steppenwolf, and when he returned to base, she would bring the entire metahuman alliance directly to his crystal.

Empiricism is not advisable. No one knows how many generals have come from Apocalypse, not to mention that there may be some dangerous things in the lair of Steppenwolf.

This mother box has been prepared since the last meeting, but I didn’t expect it to be used so soon.

Valerie hung the Mother Box conspicuously around her waist, and at the same time pulled out a single molecule line from her wrist, holding it across her body like a spear.

In order to make Steppenwolf believe that this was true, she had to struggle as much as possible. Besides, Valerie also wanted to try to see what extent of damage she could cause to Steppenwolf.

Steppenwolf rushed towards Valerie again, swinging his axe with great force.

Valerie waved her hands like a band conductor, and whips of light cut through the air and hit Steppenwolf's shoulders.

Steppenwolf didn't take the technology of this planet seriously at first, until the armor on his shoulders melted away like ice in high temperature to avoid the whip, and then he realized the seriousness of the situation.

The light whip left a whip mark on the Steppe Wolf, like a scratch on a diamond.

"What is this?" the Steppenwolf asked, gritting his teeth.

His armor is usually controlled by his mind, and he doesn't think it has its own consciousness.

"How should I know? Are you a masochist? Would you be excited by being whipped by a beauty like me?" Valerie curled her lips and waved the light whip again.

The single-molecule line drew an eight-shaped pattern in the narrow subway tunnel. One whip hit the sole of Steppenwolf's feet, and the other whip hit the top of Steppenwolf's head, breaking a piece of rubble that fell on him with dust.

Valerie immediately retracted the whip and winked at Steppenwolf provocatively.

The face of the Steppenwolf, wrapped in its bristle-like armor, showed visibly solemnity. He dusted himself off, as if taking Valerie's move as a contempt.

He took a step toward Valerie, and the floor beneath him suddenly gave way, sinking one of his feet into the ground.

This was a very easy trap, and Steppenwolf could pull it out in one go, but Valerie suddenly pressed her temples: "Are we there yet?"

"I'll be in a moment, he's here." Batman replied on the other side.

Then, Steppenwolf felt the sound of raindrops falling on his head. He looked up and saw that the crack created by Valerie was leaking water.

The tightly interwoven ceiling was broken by the huge water pressure, and Aquaman descended from the sky riding the waves. He held the trident and stabbed it straight at Steppenwolf's head.

Steppenwolf tilted his head slightly, his armor covering his entire face, but Valerie's single molecule line came towards his face again.

It was a strange situation whose reason was still unclear. The armor melted before the single-molecule line approached, as if it was hiding.

This time, the right half of Steppenwolf's face was exposed to the air, and Aquaman's trident, with a stream of water, pierced straight into this guy's eyes.
