American comic book red Superman

Whoosh——

next second.

The Steppenwolf, who had been standing there as steady as a rock, suddenly lowered his body slightly, stomped his feet on the ground with force, and his tall body moved like a mountain, shaking the earth beneath the sea. He charged towards the Mother Box with his giant axe in hand.

"stop!"

Arthur Curry reacted swiftly, immediately pulling out his trident and stretching his arm. Instantly, the surrounding seawater surged towards Steppenwolf, the massive amount of water carrying immense pressure crashing down on Steppenwolf.

Bang!

The immense pressure struck Steppenwolf, sending his running body flying backward with the swift current of the sea.

That was Arthur Curry controlling the flow of seawater. He spread his five fingers, and the flowing seawater continuously washed over Steppenwolf's body, the armor rubbing together with a strange sound, carrying with it...

The pebbles grazed my face, as if trying to tear it apart.

"call!"

Steppenwolf felt the sharp seawater constantly washing over his armor, making a "slap slap slap" sound. His expression became serious. After all, the ocean was Aquaman's domain, where he could utilize schools of fish and even some dark matter.

So he gripped the giant axe with both hands, holding it to his chest, and the axe blade emitted an energy that condensed into a protective shield.

After resisting the rapid current, my body gradually stabilized, and my feet landed on the soft sandy bottom of the seabed.

Whoosh——

However, before Steppenwolf could land, Rowe charged over and crashed into him head-on. Unfazed by the sharp giant axe, Rowe pushed forward with both hands, sending Steppenwolf flying towards the sea.

Bang!

Not a moment later.

The calm sea was shattered by two figures rushing out from below. The moment they rushed out, they caused huge waves to surge into the sky. Huge waves crashed onto the sea surface, just like a tsunami had just occurred.

"Damn it!"

High in the sky, Steppenwolf saw the sea receding into the distance below and tried to push Lowe away, but found he couldn't move at all.

So he gritted his teeth and swung his head out hard, smashing it into Luo Wei's face.

Bang!

However, when his head hit the metal, it felt like hitting a steel plate; a sharp pain shot through his head, accompanied by a muffled thud.

"This is not a rational behavior."

Face to face, Rowe spat, his sharp eyes fixed on Steppenwolf, and retaliated by slamming his head against it.

Bang!

As his head pounded against Steppenwolf, Rowe instantly released Steppenwolf's hands.

Whoosh——

In an instant, the shockwave from the headbutt swept across the area, and the clearly visible airflow dispersed the surrounding clouds and mist.

The released Steppenwolf, its massive body transformed into a cannonball, plummeting downwards. It had no time to react, for it was seeing stars. The headbutt from Rowe was no less powerful than a missile strike.

Whoosh——

When Steppenwolf recovered and tried to adjust his falling body, he opened his eyes and saw Lowe swooping down from above.

Raising his long, thick thigh, Rowe kicked the Steppenwolf hard in the stomach. It was as if Rowe was using his leg as a blade to slash, and in a daze, his thigh became a blur.

Bang! ! !

Another deafening sound echoed through the sky, and visible air currents appeared, transforming into a wave of air that swept across the heavens!

On some ships far away, the crew heard a strange noise. Those who didn't know better might have thought it was a torpedo, but it was actually just a Superman kick.

"Cough cough cough!!"

At this moment, Steppenwolf's body plummeted, falling back into the sea as fast as it had gone up into the sky.

Unfortunately, Rowe had no intention of letting Steppenwolf off so easily. Just as his body was about to fall back to the sea, the boy's figure appeared below him in an instant and kicked him in the waist with gravity.

In mid-air, Steppenwolf was like a football in mid-air. After being hit by the force, it was instantly launched into the air and soared into the sky!

bang——

At this moment, if you look from a distance...

Suddenly, a figure kicked the tall figure in mid-air away, then instantly reappeared in the air and swooped down towards the tall figure with lightning speed. This speed caused gusts of air to surge, and the straight body, like a missile, crashed down on the tall figure again.

In an instant, the towering figure could no longer withstand the immense force. Losing all weight, he swept across the vast sea, the waves created by his rapid fall turning the calm surface into a turbulent sea. He then crashed headfirst onto a deserted island. At the moment of impact, the ground trembled, the rock layers beneath the surface were ripped up, and a thick column of dust and sand rose into the air. In a daze, the entire deserted island trembled violently, as if it could not bear the weight and was about to be pierced through!

"My God, is that the mysterious man?"

In the distance, Bruce Wayne and Hal Jordan, led by Arthur Curry, arrived at this sea area one after the other and happened to witness this breathtaking scene.

"Was that a nuclear explosion kick?"

Hal Jordan was stunned for a long time before he finally managed to utter a single sentence, even though he was usually a chatterbox.

"It would be very dangerous if he lost control."

Bruce Wayne gazed into the far distance and gave his assessment once again, which also stemmed from his most genuine thoughts.

[PS: There might be one more chapter, it'll be a bit late, so please read it tomorrow. Don't wait up, sweet dreams!]

Chapter 82 081: The Mother Box (Part 9)

"Powerful people can bring peace to the world, but they can also bring destruction and danger."

Aquaman Arthur's upper body floated on the sea surface, the enormous force from the deserted island causing waves to surge and constantly slap against his resolute face.

"That's why people are afraid of us."

Bruce Wayne empathized with the situation, as the citizens of Gotham also disliked Batman. Perhaps it was because his methods were too brutal, instilling fear in many people, even deeply affecting the victims.

Every day, Wayne Enterprises' news outlets and media organizations publish news about Batman, always describing Gotham's Dark Knight, Batman, with violent and bloody imagery.

After witnessing Rowe defeat Steppenwolf, the three wasted no more time and went together to the deserted island where the dust and mist had not yet dissipated.

Bang

At this moment, Luo Wei descended from the sky and landed beside the three of them. In front of them was a deep pit, in which the tall Steppenwolf lay. The huge impact had already shattered his armor, and one of his horns had been broken off when he headbutted him. Blood flowed from his face.

"My God, are your clothes completely dry?"

Hal Jordan noticed Rowe's dry clothes and touched his own soaked battle suit, knowing that they had just taken a trip to the underwater kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Bruce Wayne also observed Rowe's dry clothes, his brow furrowing slightly, but he remained silent.

"You're a bit weak."

Rowe ignored the talkative Hal, stood at the edge of the pit, looking down at Steppenwolf. His words reflected his surprise. Steppenwolf's strength was not as great as he had imagined. After all, the opponent had even killed Wonder Woman in the original story, but Steppenwolf in front of him was easily defeated. Perhaps the current Steppenwolf was not as strong as he was in that period.

"Ahem, Earthling, you're very strong."

In the deep pit, Steppenwolf used his axe to support himself and slowly got up. A tearing pain instantly shot through his body, stimulating his nerves. However, he only frowned, and the pain was gone in an instant. He looked at Rowe without any fear.

Steppenwolf, as a powerful being among the new gods of the universe, is also Darkseid's vanguard and military commander-in-chief. He has witnessed countless wars and experienced countless killings. A mere Earthling would not make him show fear.

"It looks like you won't be able to take the mother box this time."

Hal Jordan, quick to speak, preempted Rowe, raising his left hand adorned with a light ring.

The ring emitted a pale green light, and in the blink of an eye, four huge cannons appeared out of thin air around the pit, all aimed at the Steppenwolf in the pit, and continuously accumulating energy.

At the same time, a green barrier also surrounds the pit, preventing the Steppenwolves inside from launching a surprise attack or taking the opportunity to escape.

"You're from the Green Lantern Corps. No wonder you couldn't get the Mother Box last night. So there are Green Lantern Corps members on Earth. If I'm not mistaken, it was your Guardians who discovered the Mother Box."

Steppenwolf showed no fear, stood up straight, and made no attempt to resist. He knew he couldn't handle the four people in front of him; even just Rowe was giving him a hard time.

"Sorry, you need to..."

"Since I obtained the Guardian's permission beforehand, I didn't need to go through all that trouble to find the three unauthorized boxes."

Hal Jordan said coldly.

"Don't kill him yet, this guy still has some use."

Bruce Wayne quickly spoke up.

"You want to use the interrogation methods you use to deal with criminals in Gotham on a new god who is immortal and indestructible? That simply won't work."

Aquaman Arthur said speechlessly, "It would be fine if it were an ordinary person, but the person in front of me is Steppenwolf. How could he possibly submit to the interrogation methods of a mortal?"

So he raised the trident in his hand, and the weapon instantly glowed with a faint light, as a surge of energy gathered at the sharp tip of the trident.

"Don't bother, just kill him, Darkseid will just resurrect him."

Luo Wei, who was standing nearby, reached out and stopped the two of them.

These words drew the attention of the three men to Rowe. Bruce Wayne asked incredulously, "You're saying he'll come back to life?"

"Yes, Darkseid's power is far beyond what earthlings can imagine. Reviving a dead being is a piece of cake for him."

To be honest, Darkseid, who had conquered countless multiverses, possessed abilities and methods that, like his status, made countless people tremble. Darkseid's proud Omega Ray could annihilate living beings in the universe and also bring the dead back to life.

In the original story, Steppenwolf died but was resurrected by Darkseid, and his strength became even greater after his resurrection.

Upon hearing this, Bruce Wayne felt his worldview being challenged once again. First aliens, now aliens again, and even the ability to resurrect the dead—something that only existed in legends—it was unbelievable.

However, after a moment of surprise, he asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Imprison him on Earth?"

Aquaman Arthur glanced around at the vast ocean and continued, "If you ask me, killing him would be easier. If he comes back, we'll just kill him again."

"Naturally, I don't want to imprison him on Earth; I have a better place."

Luo Wei smiled mysteriously, and under the bewildered gazes of the three, he took out an ancient black and gold token, the aura emanating from which sent chills down their spines.

"what is this?"

Hal Jordan instinctively reached out his light ring and scanned it up and down. The ring immediately indicated that the item was not authorized!

Another unauthorized item!

He paused, then slowly said, "This thing was also done without permission."

Bruce Wayne and Aquaman Arthur also had strange expressions. The man in front of them, Rowe, had too many secrets, as if he was always shrouded in an impenetrable fog.
