American comic book: God among men, Saiyan-Kryptonian hybrid

Chapter 167 Iron Man vs. Steppenwolf! Thor's reinforcements!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The streak of light radiated fission energy, so powerful that even the divine sword couldn't cut through the armor, and it was naturally unafraid of Stark's hand cannon.

However, the earth-shattering power of the Crimson Lotus state still made Steppenwolf wary of him, and he dared not be careless. He raised his axe blade to block Iron Man's barrage of cannon fire!
"Boom! Boom!"

However, seeing how easily he had blocked the force of the explosion, Steppenwolf had a general idea of ​​what was happening and scoffed:
"Looks like that last burst of energy has exhausted you, Iron Man."

However, the next second, just as he let his guard down, a heavy cannon shot suddenly hit him in the face!

"boom!!!"

This blow knocked him down!
"Damn you, despicable humans!"

Steppenwolf's face turned ugly as he glared at Stark's mocking smile. Clearly, Stark had deliberately lowered his guard!
"Those who invade other people's homes have no right to talk about being despicable, you minotaur."

Iron Man coldly pointed at him and made a contemptuous gesture.

The appearance of Steppenwolf was not accidental. This probing attack was not only to find out the original distribution of combat power on Earth, but more importantly, Darkseid wanted to understand the true situation of this world!
Since being unexpectedly projected into the Anchor Universe to complete the Origin Line, Darkseid quickly discovered something unusual.

One day, a god named Loki drifted down from Apokolips.

In the original comics, Loki supposedly drifted through a wormhole to the darkest place in the universe after falling off the Rainbow Bridge. After many near-death experiences and numerous dangers, he was picked up by Thanos and became a pawn in his scheme to seize the Infinity Stones.

But Thanos is currently busy consolidating Frieza's forces and is frantically expanding his army, so he has no time to carry out his plans against Earth!
At this time, Darkseid, who was unwilling to use his own power, happened to find someone who was familiar with information about the outside universe.

Although this guy named Loki is full of treachery, as the saying goes, if someone's betrayal is something that was expected, then keeping him alive is more valuable than killing him.

Loki also realized that this was an opportunity. Although he was not quite sure when this person had appeared in the universe, the iron-blooded and murderous atmosphere of Apokolips made it clear that Darkseid was an absolute tyrant!

So he went to find the Chitauri, who were caught up in the chaos of the universe after the collapse of Frieza's army.

After Darkseid's strength was recognized by them, Loki secretly made a deal with them!
From both sides, Darkseid also gained some initial information about this universe!
Then Darkseid was stunned!

What the hell is this monstrosity of a universe?!

He knows about Kryptonians, but what the heck are Saiyans?

What are Infinity Stones anyway?
Galactic Patrol, the Lantern Corps, the Dark Quadrant, the Nine Realms, Thanos, the Three Great Empires, Frieza's Army—besides those unique and unheard-of dimensions, there are countless other cosmic races capable of gigantification?

What the hell is all this?!

Darkseid was stunned.

But it was during this moment of confusion that Loki started to deceive him again.

Earth is good, Earth is wonderful, Earth's four magical artifacts!
Since we're here, let's make the best of it. After all, once the origin line is laid, Darkseid will be a native of this universe.

What else could he do?
Of course, he'll continue his dream of becoming a hegemon!

Adhering to the principle of gathering good things first and recruiting good people, Darkseid immediately ordered his men to conduct an investigation.

Since the death of the Cosmic Emperor half a month ago, the entire universe has entered a chaotic era in which various forces are vying for power.

More than half the planets in the Milky Way were drawn into the battle, joining forces to encircle and annihilate Frieza's army.

The collapse of the universe's number one real estate company means a massive number of unfinished projects across the universe. Whether in debt or not, whether people are just looking for a home or building a business, it's like the sky has fallen, and the entire universe is in complete chaos!
People jump off rooftops when houses are abandoned, let alone when planets are abandoned—wouldn't that lead to a cosmic war?

With this in mind, Darkseid, on the advice of Dessaid, decided to first solidify the foundation, using the galaxy as the center, and slowly expand outwards into the outer reaches of the universe.

And in Loki's gullibility, Earth is a better option!

Whether we can win or not is irrelevant; the most important thing is to establish a foothold and understand the situation!

As for the Chitauri, he didn't care if they all died. "Excuse me, Tauren, don't think you're so great just because your skeleton is covered in iron. Look at you, you don't even have a bit of flesh on you. You'd probably be rejected by a dog even if you were its chew toy!"

Just then, Stark's mouth came in handy again; his entire body was made of iron, except for his mouth, which was made of poison.

"What did you say???"

Upon hearing this, Steppenwolf's eyes turned red, and he charged forward with his axe.

"boom!"

The next second, the interplay of red and silver created a massive explosion. The afterglow of the collision seemed to shine brighter than the stars. Stark, who had just been hit by an axe, instantly realized that he was at a disadvantage in close combat!

He chased, he fled! He ran while cursing!
"Excuse me, Minotaur, which planet are you from? Minotaur Village?"

"Are the people on your planet made from fossils that were preserved in toilets?"

"Damn Earthlings! I'll kill you!!!!"

Upon hearing this, Steppenwolf immediately became agitated, gritting his teeth as he lunged forward. "How dare you, a foolish Earthling, slander the great Dark Lord and me!"
Steppenwolf, who was initially wary of the red lotus energy, now acted with unrestrained power, which was exactly what Iron Man wanted!

The two sides fought fiercely, creating an arc of pursuit across the universe.

The terrifying axe blade is comparable to the Vulcan's sword, which can cut everything at the atomic level, and naturally, Stark's Iron Man armor cannot stop it!
Even though Steppenwolf is stronger in terms of raw power, he can't compete with Iron Man's many tricks and skills. In addition, after undergoing training in Chi, Stark has completed his basic knowledge of using Chi.

This includes using his entire body as a gaze to see supersonic movements, using his breath to sense the opponent's attack, and many new moves he developed after being exposed to various large-scale events!

If it weren't for the risk of running out of energy and the fact that they were in space, Iron Man would definitely be confident he could fight this bison.

At this moment, Stark knew he was running out of energy, so he decisively retreated. But apart from using long-range artillery to block, every move he made was aimed at creating an opening to distance himself from Steppenwolf.

The purpose of provoking Steppenwolf is to deplete its stamina and prepare for the next reinforcement!

"Jarvis, analyze his attack data!"

"Good sir!"

While collecting data, Iron Man was also depleting Steppenwolf's strength, keeping him firmly occupied!

Judging by the time, it's about time for the backup to step in!

"boom!!!"

Sure enough, the moment the two landed on a huge meteorite, the horde of Parademons that had been chasing after Steppenwolves were suddenly smashed into dust by a square hammer!

This scene immediately caught Steppenwolf's attention, but before he could react, a heavy kick landed on Steppenwolf's shoulder in the direction the hammer had been thrown, sending him flying.

"boom!"

The next second, the flying hammer quickly returned to the newcomer's hand. The man standing in front of Stark wore a red cloak and had long hair.

Steppenwolf became alert. He keenly noticed that the man's eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit, as if he were born to fight and destined for the battlefield.

Thor also saw this same quality in Steppenwolf!

"This is too reckless, Stark!"

Thor turned around and glanced at him, then curled his lip and said, "You actually attacked the other side all by yourself!"

"The most crucial thing is, you didn't even include me in your game!!"
