Chapter 448: New God (Please subscribe, read, comment on monthly tickets)
"As a general and a god of war, you were so easily angered by my words and lost your mind. You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Martin sped up the construction of the passage to the outside world, but he did not forget to provoke Steppenwolf.

This time, Steppenwolf said nothing more, but Martin clearly felt that everything around him had changed. Every wisp of air, every substance, even molecules and atoms had become weapons of war, surrounding him from all directions, trying to kill him as an outsider.

"There is a reason why the new gods can drive the old gods out of the material world."

Martin felt the changes in the surrounding environment, and roughly determined the differences between the new gods and the old gods, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But he had no intention of doing this kind of academic research work right now. Before rushing over, he snapped his fingers, and green light energy gushed out, turning into flames that enveloped him.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

The steppe wolf roared, and even though he was far away, the huge axe in his hand fell and hit where Martin was.

The green light was torn apart, but Martin's shadow was no longer visible. He had already escaped from the special space constructed by the demon-like soldiers controlling the ordinary mother box in this way.

"Let me go, thank you!"

A green light flashed, and Martin suddenly appeared in Steppenwolf's flagship, still in the original position.

The demon-like being holding a mechanical box with a big red button on it was stunned. He didn't expect that the trapped Green Lantern could escape.

Their subjective consciousness was somewhat sluggish, but their transformed and trained bodies reacted earlier than the demon-like consciousness and attacked Martin who suddenly appeared.

"call!"

Martin had no interest in getting entangled with these small characters. He blew out a breath gently, and the green sparks around him that had not yet dissipated suddenly burst into intense fire again, as if they had eyes, and pounced on the surrounding demons.

Normally, for demons wearing Apocalypse standard equipment, it is difficult to cause damage to their armor unless the fire is added with special fuel.

But green flames are not ordinary flames. Even though the temperature of these flames is the same as that of ordinary flames, they can inspire the will of intelligent life.

Normally, this is a positive benefit, but for transformed life forms like demons, it is a deadly poison.

All modified biological weapons have a common characteristic, which is to eliminate the ability of the modified person to accept trauma. In fact, it is like regressing to infancy, unable to accept the pain of the world, but able to understand some of its logic.

Then, by fine-tuning the user's nervous system, it can become the so-called perfect work.

The green light flame blown by Martin can bring these people sufficient will to face the world again. In the absence of anyone to guide them, this trauma overwhelms everything.

Countless demon-like creatures screamed and wailed. They possessed the so-called self-will, but were not prepared to bear the responsibilities. As a result, they went mad and committed suicide.

"Ugh!"

Martin couldn't help but shudder when he heard the crazy words coming out of the demons' mouths.

Although he was the one who caused this situation, he had no choice but to do so because of the war.

Although he would still make the same choice if time went back a few seconds, Martin was also traumatized by seeing these crazy demons.

He was well aware that the war was far from over, so he forced this emotion behind him, turned into a green light, and quickly left the flagship.

"What a bunch of trash!"

Steppenwolf chased Martin closely, rushed out from the temporarily constructed subspace, and saw his demon-like subordinates going crazy in the green light and flames, and could not help but curse.

"That idiot DeSaad tried some biological modification and boasted about how powerful he was. But in the end, he was still defeated by Green Lantern in one move."

Steppenwolf is a conservative in military affairs. Although his offensive style is radical, he believes that sufficient is enough when it comes to managing the army, and any so-called innovation is just asking for trouble.

Because they are new gods, the new generation that drives the old gods out of the material universe.

They themselves represent the starting point and end point of everything, so the army at the beginning is the best army.

In this case, any other changes would be asking for trouble.

However, he and Darkstand failed in their fight for the throne of Apocalypse and were driven out, and the old team he had carefully trained also stayed on Apocalypse.

When he was fighting outside, he certainly couldn't go out alone. Otherwise, even if he could win, he would be laughed at by his old opponents and become a stray dog.

So he had to use the bio-modified soldiers invented by Desaad.

And it's the kind that you use while cursing.

"waste!"

What Steppenwolf wants to do most now is to catch Martin and cut him into pieces.

But the order he received from Darkseid was to attack Ajury and destroy the so-called Interstellar Court in preparation for Apokolips to rule the entire universe.

Darkseid agreed that as long as Steppenwolf could handle this matter, he would be allowed to return to Apokolips and his treatment would remain the same.

Thinking that he could finally return to his hometown after a long absence, the Steppe Wolf suppressed the rage in his heart, stopped, and extinguished the green lights that could strengthen people's will.

"What a bunch of useless trash! When I return to Skyrim, I must train my own army again."

The steppe wolf looked at the miserable demon and couldn't help cursing.

This time he was not targeting the demon, but was scolding Martin.

In such a short while, Martin had destroyed three large starships of Apocalypse.

To be precise, Martin destroyed the engines of these ships, making them lose the power to sail freely.

Then, the three ships with destroyed engines were gently pushed forward, and they were affected by the gravity of the planet Ajurui Star 2 and fell towards the planet.

At this time, the epidemic prevention system deployed around the planet's orbit finally came into play, and with full firepower, these ships were turned into honeycomb coal.

The demons inside were helpless and could only drive various small combat vehicles to escape urgently, and then rush forward quickly to get into orbit, blow up those defense systems, and create opportunities for the later demons.

But no matter how fearless the demons are, their lives are destined to disappear suddenly like a candle in the wind, and be blown into balls of fireworks by the self-defense artillery in the planet's orbit.

Even if there were a few lucky ones who managed to break through the defensive artillery group, it would be difficult for them to cause effective damage.

As expected, those that turned around and charged towards the artillery group were blown into fireworks. The incompletely burned wreckage floated helplessly in the space, creating more trouble for the Apocalypse fighter artillery that was approaching behind.

The smarter demons gave up their gaze on the universe and turned to fly towards the planet in order to maximize their destructive power.

However, layers of green waves also rose from the inside of the planet. From a distance, it looked like the planet's atmosphere was beginning to expand outward. Whether it was the demons that had previously jumped into Ajurui Star 2 through the mother box, or the fighters that had just entered, they were all reduced to ashes in such a wave.

"Damn bastards, mass murder bastards. I never thought that a civilization that entered the universe could be so cruel!"

Hal rushed out cursing. He looked dusty and dirty, but the green light surrounding his body was brighter than ever before.

In space, it looks like a star that continues to shine outward.

"Have all the enemies inside the planet been dealt with?"

Martin stopped Hal from rushing towards the fleet and asked him about the situation inside the planet.
At the same time, I also hope that he can be calmer and not rush forward foolishly and become a target for Steppenwolf.

The brief confrontation with Steppenwolf just now made Martin realize the difference between the new gods and the old gods.

If we only comment on the material level, Steppenwolf is definitely not a match for the combined forces of Martin and Hal, but the problem is that the opponent is a new god, and Steppenwolf's power does not only come from physical matter.

"Those lunatics rushed into the planet and started bombing and killing people. I was just one step slower, and the whole city was reduced to charcoal. Nothing was left."

Hal's hatred and anger were beyond words. The Green Lantern Corps was not a saintly organization and they would never show mercy when it came time to kill.

"So I killed them all. Damn it, Oa made me careless and forget that there are more places in the universe that are still in the pre-civilization era."

"We can talk about complaining later. Now we need to discuss how to repel this enemy."

This was Hal's first time to fight in a cosmic war. The atrocities committed by Apocalypse had shattered the fantasy of perfect order created for him by Europa. It was normal for him to have some extraordinary reactions.

"The teleportation of the entire galaxy has been affected. If you want to teleport to the vicinity of Ajurui by force, even if you can barely form it, the result will be that your body will be separated from your head."

The mainstream transmission methods in the universe are particle transmission that operates on matter, transmission that operates on space, and mystical transmission whose principles are completely unknown.

Because the universe is large enough, generally speaking, the dangers of these three transmission methods themselves are not that great.

However, the planet where Ajurui is located has been disturbed by the mother boxes carried by the Steppenwolf fleet, causing outsiders who want to jump here to be affected to varying degrees.

This means that Martin and Hal will not receive effective support in the short term.

"Aju Ruixing's defense forces are so poor, and you didn't even mention it?"

If the Interstellar Court's military purchases were strong, Hal would definitely explain the situation to Martin as soon as possible.

Needless to say, what the opposite is like.

"It's not that the Aju Ruixing army is bad, it's that they are not even in the court. They have all been sent out to perform missions."

"what?"

When Hal learned about this, he was as surprised as Martin.

The Interstellar Court has been peaceful for ten thousand years. In nearly ten thousand years, no one has dared to initiate a direct war here.

Therefore, court officials were accustomed to retaining only a small number of security forces, and sending truly combat-capable defense forces to perform tasks and protect those immature civilizations free of charge.

"Well, this matter is indeed difficult to evaluate!"

The actions of the Interstellar Court cannot be said to be wrong, because Green Lantern often appears on the planet Ajurui and stays there for a long time.

Even if someone wants to attack Ajurui Star, the nearby Green Lanterns can quickly jump here.

Normally, the forces that are able to defeat the Green Lantern Corps will definitely make a lot of noise when they take action.

If we really encounter an enemy, the Interstellar Court will have plenty of time to mobilize its troops.

But in the matter of Apokolips, even the successive Green Lanterns might have kept it a secret, so how could they possibly inform the Interstellar Court when they return?

Therefore, the Interstellar Court was tricked by the Guardians this time.

It is true that the Interstellar Court did this out of trust in the Green Lantern Corps, and there must be more Green Lanterns than just Martin and Hal who saw the problem, but they did not remind them or continue to advise them because they were unaware of the existence of Apokolips.

"Forget about the lack of an army. Fortunately, the defense measures of these three planets are very complete. We don't need to worry about defense. All we need to do is attack."

Martin transferred all his knowledge of Apokolips into the Green Lantern Ring, and Hal understood Steppenwolf's past at a glance.

"Oh my god, are these guys really gods? Why is there nothing sacred about them?"

Hal didn't think about why Martin knew so much inside information about Apocalypse. He subconsciously thought that he found this information from the other party's flagship.

“The sacred is nothing more than an imaginary emotion projected by intelligent life onto another object, not an inherent attribute.”

Although Martin also wanted to explain this matter briefly, issues involving God always had to be more profound.

"The biggest difference between the new gods and the old gods is their grasp of the rules of the world. The old gods operate according to a fixed set of rules. No matter how they manipulate the world, they cannot make up for the flaws of the world itself. The new gods are closer to intelligent life, something that has never existed in the world, and they can make up for the flaws."

“If you want to make a comparison, the old gods are like the floating clouds in the sky. Although they appear to be free, it is hard to tell which cloud will bring rain.

The new gods are like the mountains on the earth, more solid and full of countless vitality."

Martin's words left Hal confused: "So what do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, don't expect that the methods used by the Green Lantern Corps to deal with the Old Gods will also be effective against Steppenwolf. If you want to defeat that guy, you must first defeat him on a material level, so no matter what happens next, you must be firm in your will and follow me closely."

Martin had just warned Hal when the remaining large ships of the Apocalypse fleet all started moving.

But they did not launch a long-range attack, nor did they intend to attack Aju Rising. It seemed that they just wanted to kill the two Green Lanterns.

"This steppe wolf you mentioned is too casual. Did it think that the two of us were its targets?"

Hal quickly materialized a large number of weapons and wrapped the two men up, but was stopped by Martin.

"Steppenwolf is the god of war. No matter how many weapons you have, he may still take control of you. So, be careful later, or use something other than a weapon to kill this guy."

Although Martin said he wanted to kill Steppenwolf, this was actually a bad idea.
