American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 471 Darkseid
In the originally beautiful deep underground crystal cave, the Wasteland Wolf was pacing back and forth in the demon-like incubation base supported by the Mother Box.

He walked from left to right, and then from right to left. On the way, he met a blind new-born demon blocking his way. He tore the demon into pieces with ease, scaring the other demons away from him.

After walking in the huge cave for nearly two hours, Steppenwolf finally breathed a sigh of relief, then sat cross-legged on the ground and placed his axe on his legs.

Around him, the demon-like incubation base has basically taken shape. There are also countless demon-like creatures that have been specially trained by the Mother Box to be good at covert actions. They pass through the loop channels leading to the seabed through the earth's core caves, enter the depths of the ocean, capture large carbon-based creatures and bring them back to the base.

Demon-like weapons are the most commonly used weapons of war on Apocalypse, or at least the most popular tools on Apocalypse tens of thousands of years ago.

In the years since the loss of the Mother Box, Apokolips has developed a lot of new war technologies, including the Son of Darkness created by players like the kind old lady.

But as one of the old-school generals of Apokolips, Steppenwolf has a lot of experience in using Mother Boxes.

but……

Logically speaking, when Steppenwolf gets one or two mother boxes, he will activate the base mode and successfully complete the process of troop explosion.

Then he, Steppe Wolf, can just sit back and reap the glory.

After all, the number of demon-like creatures is too huge. That thing only needs a proper amount of flesh and blood and genetic code from carbon-based creatures to edit and reproduce infinitely.

It is entirely possible to achieve the level where ants can kill elephants in terms of numbers.

Moreover, although the combat effectiveness of individual demons is low, it is by no means extremely low.

The demon-like individuals have evolved energy ray weapons derived from flesh and blood. Their own bodies can spit out ion attacks and ray attacks, which are definitely not weak attack methods.

As for the widely criticized weakness of the demon-like creatures in melee combat...

Stop kidding. No matter how low or stupid the melee combat skills of the demon-like creatures are, they are natural war machines. Even for Batman, it would be difficult to deal with three demon-like creatures at the same time without driving a plane or a tank.

Among ordinary humans, there are only a few players like Batman.

The number of such demons exceeds 10 billion.

That would definitely be a double nightmare for the earth.

Normally speaking, Steppenwolf's work has actually been almost completed.

After possessing two Mother Boxes, he should have been able to leisurely enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering low-level civilization planets.

Then, he should have easily and happily grasped the military achievements in his hands, let his nephew forgive him legally and reasonably, and return to the life of a general of Apocalypse, instead of being an exile like now.

But this time...

Looking at the increasing number of demon-like creatures chattering around him, the Steppe Wolf did not feel any relief. Instead, he felt uneasy.

Even just looking at these demon-like creatures gave Steppe Wolf a headache!

Because the Steppe Wolf knew that these demon-like creatures would probably find it difficult to provide him with any help!

Because his enemies are fucking Kryptonians, and they are evolved Kryptonians!
And most importantly, there are still supermen on this earth!!!

Just thinking about this guy Superman made Steppenwolf feel his scalp tingling, because he had been beaten up by more than one Superman!
what?
You said this is Steppenwolf's first time on Earth, he probably doesn't know Superman yet?
Stop joking, do you think Apokolips is just a weak force that dominates the universe? Darkseid's notoriety and Apokolips' fame are not achieved by just petty conflicts in a mere universe!

Long before Steppenwolf came to this Earth, Apocalypse had already conquered hundreds of multiverses.

That’s right, it’s the multiverse, not just a galaxy or something that only shows off its power in one universe.

Apocalypse itself is a superpower that spans countless multiverses, and the sonic boom channels that can be opened by the mother boxes they use also generally have the property of being able to cross the multiverse.

In addition to the Mother Box, Darkseid himself controls the Omega Rays, which make traveling across the universe as easy as breathing.

In addition to the basic ability to destroy the foundation of all matter and obliterate all existence, Omega rays can easily open passages to different universes and exile their enemies to any one or ten thousand different multiverses at will.

Therefore, Steppenwolf has long followed Darkseid's footsteps and conquered countless Earths in the universe.

And the Earth in DC...

Well, Kryptonians are definitely a lingering problem.

Darkseid has a lot of experience fighting Kryptonians, and the only knowledge he has summed up from so much experience is this.

He, Steppenwolf, is not worthy of being a Kryptonian, especially a rival to Clark!

Even in his dreams, Steppenwolf could recall how heavy Clark's fist was!

Thinking of this, Steppenwolf took a deep breath, then looked at the Mother Box with a reproachful look.

Since there are still Kryptonians on this earth, why would the Mother Box think he is safe and contact himself who is in exile to retrieve the Mother Box?

If it were only Kryptonians, it would be fine. Even Kryptonians who have been exposed to the yellow sun have countless weaknesses that can be exploited.

Steppenwolf is confident that he can use various tricks to kill all the Kryptonians on Earth.

But compared to the mere Kryptonians, Superman Clark is a real trouble!

On Apokolips' road to conquering countless multiverses, Clark in countless universes is undoubtedly the biggest enemy of Apokolips and even Darkseid.

Because, although the versions of Clarke in different universes are different, they all have one common trait, which is

Superman has always been protected by the Wall of Origin!

Darkseid's Omega rays are one of the oldest and most powerful forces on Apokolips. Everything that exists and does not exist, even matter and non-matter, are just playthings in front of the power of Omega.

But the Wall of Origin is an exception. It is one of the few things that can make the power of Omega return in vain!
And Clark...

Protected by the Wall of Origin, Clark can even withstand the Omega rays, which is simply unimaginable.

Even if Zod faces the Omega rays, he will be instantly reduced to ashes by the rays.

But there are two people on every Earth who bear the mark of the Wall of Origin and can directly resist the power of Omega.

Steppenwolf remembered the names of the two men, one was Clark and the other was Lex Luthor.

The Anti-Lex Luthor was too weak for them, and Lex's technology was never enough to stop Apokolips.

But Clark...

The steppe wolf couldn't help but rub his ferocious head.

“Why did the Mother Box summon me when Superman wasn’t dead yet?

Damn it, this expedition might turn out to be another massive war, and I won't be able to take all the credit for finding the Mother Box.

But it's okay this way, after all, Darkseid likes huge wars.

Although I lost the opportunity to take all the credit in exchange for a reduced sentence, Darkseid will know my contribution anyway!"

Thinking of this, Steppenwolf's mood finally improved a little.

In his eyes, even the ugly demons around him seemed to become a little better looking.

The Steppenwolf is hiding deep in the earth, quietly hunting deep-sea creatures to expand the demon-like team. In the temporary Washington Convention Center in New York, America.

Since the complete fall of the White House in Washington, the political center of Washington no longer exists.

The United States Joint Congressional Delegation, which was urgently launched by a certain post-Fed operator, formally established the current United States High Parliament, and used it to try to maintain coordination and maintenance among the states of the United States.

As for this moment...

Hank Henshaw walked into the parliament hall silently, came quietly to the projection board, and nodded to the members present.

Seeing Hank Henshaw's calm and composed appearance, the congressmen generally expressed their satisfaction, and the leading congressman spoke to Hank.

"Hank, I think you already know why we summoned you here.

As the head of the Department of Alien Affairs, your arrival is undoubtedly to deal with alien issues.

Not long ago, the guy from Gotham led his evil team and dug out the alien spaceship in Antarctica with great fanfare.

But this is only the first step for aliens to be truly exposed on Earth.

The alien spaceship was brought back to Gotham just a few days ago, and we were still negotiating with Gotham City Hall on a series of scientific research interactions and benefit conditions related to the spaceship.

More aliens are following the present era and coming to our homeland!"

At this point, the congressman turned on the projection device, projecting a series of images in real time onto the huge metal round table in the center of the crowd.

In the projected image, the brief confrontation between Zod and Steppenwolf was being played on a loop at a speed that was slowed down countless times.

Looking at the Steppenwolf, whose shape and appearance were very different from those of humans on Earth, Hank Henshaw, who was summoned here by the Parliament, pursed his lips.

He had to admit that even with his extensive experience, he could not recognize what the giant covered in hideous metal was.

As for the Kryptonians...

To be honest, Hank has some understanding of the Kryptonians and knows that their planet has been destroyed.

even……

Looking at the projection of Zod who was fighting Steppenwolf over and over again, Hank's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.

He remembered something that happened more than 20 years ago.

More than twenty years ago, Clarke's spacecraft first landed on Earth.

Many people, including Doctor Fate and others, have already sensed Clark's arrival.

It's more than just a feeling. A considerable number of them had gone there to observe any spacecraft entering the solar system.

The now deceased Doctor Fate was also a member of the group observing Clark's spacecraft.

In addition to Doctor Fate, Hank himself was also among the members of the group visiting Clark.

After confirming that the Kryptonian spaceship sent just a hungry child, Hank, Doctor Fate and others all helped Clark to block some troubles from the mystical and supernatural worlds.

In other words, without the help of people like Dr. Fate and Hank Henshaw, Clark would not be able to hide quietly among ordinary people and enjoy his leisurely and happy childhood life.

The earth has never been a stagnant pool. Even if it is not obvious on the surface, there are countless undercurrents surging here.

Although Batman is the origin of all supernatural things, even he only started the trend of superheroes.

In short, looking at Zod who easily suppressed Steppenwolf, Hank couldn't help but frown.

Through observing Clark's growth process, Hank knew how troublesome the Kryptonians were, but he never imagined that they were so troublesome!

It's so troublesome that even I find it very tricky to look at!
Even I may not be a match for the Kryptonians!
While Hank was thinking deeply, the congressman in front of him continued to speak.

"I don't need to explain in detail the troubles that the city of Gotham has brought to America. I'm sure everyone knows the dangers of that city and the terror of that person!"

Having said this, the congressman glanced at everyone else with lingering fear.

Facing the congressman's gaze, the other congressmen nodded in unison.

They knew too well how terrible that man was, damn it.

Gotham was originally such a great place. Whenever everyone had accumulated enough psychological pressure, they would go to Gotham to play with friends, and all the pressure would be swept away.

There are many and varied ways to play in Gotham, and Gotham’s friends are good at playing and are very generous.

In the past, every qualified politician in America had some degree of connection with Gotham.

And in the eyes of former politicians and capitalists, Gotham is a far more interesting place than Lolita Island!
But now...

Members of Parliament, you look at me, I look at you...

Hey……

All of their former good friends in Gotham were slaughtered by that one man!
That person even slaughtered a young family whose net worth was only around 200 million and whose family had been established for less than 80 years!
It's simply too much!
However, even if the congressmen hated that person to the core, they only dared to think bad things about him in their minds.

They didn't even dare to say it, let alone mention that person's name!

Although Amanda Waller was just a dog in the minds of everyone present, even as a dog, his death sounded a wake-up call for everyone present.

Even an organization like the Sky Eye, which possessed a considerable degree of extraordinary power, could not protect Amanda, so it was easy for Downton to break in and kill Amanda as if he was just visiting her...

Ever since Amanda's mysterious death, all the upper class people in America have learned to shut up about the man in Gotham.

Not only do they not dare to mention that person's name, they even dare not slander that person online!
Even until now, there are still quite a few families who naturally put traffic on the Internet for that person to enhance that person's reputation.

Because in the face of that person's power, the only solution that the superior people in the past of America could think of was to morally blackmail that person...

As for this moment.

Looking at the fearful expressions in everyone's eyes, the congressman who spoke let out a long breath and continued.

“Look, everyone knows that one, don’t they?

So let’s skip that and just talk about what happened in Gotham today...the alien invasion!

Our various spies who stayed in Gotham found out that this person would often leave Gotham before noon every day, reportedly to go to other universes.

This point still needs to be studied, but the alien invasion of Gotham does provide indirect evidence of the fact that that person is often not in Gotham.

Therefore, we only have two topics for this meeting.

First, Mr. Hank, the head of the Alien Affairs Department, will briefly explain to us your emergency response plan for aliens coming to Earth.

The second is to discuss whether the fact that the person is often not in Gotham has any value in terms of use!"
