Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Hint! Gained +5000 Special Popularity Points (from Phillips Egilia Themiscula)

The atmosphere in the conference room felt as if it had been ignited by war.

The Flash, Barry, swallowed hard. Looking at the women before him, their fighting spirit high, he suddenly felt that he couldn't lose face as a man.

"Um... although it sounds like a suicide plan to me..." Barry scratched his head, "but things always get worse when I'm scared. Maybe doing things differently is a good idea. I... I'm in favor."

"Heh... Since everyone's gone mad, I'll count myself in." Deathstroke Slade, who had been silent all along, sneered and made his stance clear.

All eyes finally focused on Bruce Wayne.

As the mastermind behind the Justice League, the Mother Box is now under his control.

Bruce closed his eyes and crossed his hands tightly.

To him, Homelander's plan was devoid of any strategy and was nothing more than pure recklessness.

In the past, he would never have agreed to such a crazy all-in plan. He needed backup plans, Plan A, Plan B, or even Plan Z.

but……

Bruce recalls how this man single-handedly destroyed the global Parademon army and trampled Superman underfoot.

Perhaps, to deal with a new god as powerful as Darkseid who is unreasonable, we need an even more unreasonable madman.

"Victor, give him the mother box."

Cyborg was stunned: "Bruce! Are you really going crazy?"

"Go do it, Victor," Bruce said firmly. "We have no choice."

"I hope you remember your promise today, Homelander. If you mess it up..."

"Ha, then you've messed it up!" Azu laughed arrogantly, turned his back to the crowd, and continued.

"But I've never messed anything up, Bat."

After saying that, Azu took a step and walked towards the door.

"Take those three damned boxes and come with me," he said without turning his head.

……

A dozen minutes later.

The ruins of Century Park in the heart of the metropolis. A colossal memorial statue of Superman once stood here, but now it has been smashed to pieces by an angry mob.

Azu stopped in the middle of the open space.

Bruce, Cyborg, The Flash, and a host of other heroes followed closely behind.

Harley Quinn, on the other hand, was like a carefree high school girl, skipping and hopping along beside Azu with her backpack on, humming an unknown tune.

Azu turned around and gestured with his chin toward Steelbone.

"Bring them out, Victor."

Upon hearing Ah Zu's words, Steelbone immediately knelt on the ground and opened the specially made shielded box.

"Buzz—"

The moment the three cube-shaped metal boxes were revealed, the surrounding air immediately emitted a low buzzing sound.

Their intricate patterns seem to possess a life of their own, shimmering with a faint light that flows slowly at some unknown frequency.

The three mother boxes exerted a strong gravitational pull on each other, attempting to break free of their restraints and merge together.

"The energy level of this thing is constantly rising," Cyborg said solemnly. "They are calling to each other, and also to Apokolips. As soon as they achieve triad synchronization, the sonic boom will be formed immediately."

"The Mother Box." Mera gripped her trident tightly, a flicker of disgust crossing her beautiful face. "This thing destroyed Atlantis, and the energy it emitted makes me feel nauseous."

"Soon it will become our cleaner."

Azu casually remarked, and with a flick of his wrist, the Master Ball appeared in his palm.

"Time to get to work, Igor."

Azu casually tossed the Masterball forward.

A flash of white light suddenly appeared.

As the light faded, a huge blue brain, several meters in diameter, floated silently in mid-air.

Wow!!

Barry, like a startled rabbit, flashed backward and pulled back more than ten meters in an instant.

His eyes widened in horror as he stared at the enormous blue brain that had appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.

"What...what is this?! A B-movie horror film from the 1980s? A brain demon?"

Amazon General Phillips also instinctively assumed a fighting stance.

Only Batman and Harley Quinn seemed quite calm. Harley even whistled, "Hey, Mr. Brains, we meet again."

Igor ignored the mortals' fuss and his blue nerve tendrils swayed slightly in the air.

A respectful voice resounded through the air via mental fluctuations.

"Master, your loyal servant awaits your command."

“Listen, Ego.” Azu pointed to three metal cubes on the ground. “These are called Mother Boxes, living machines. They’re currently programmed to transform this planet into a hell of lava and poisonous gas.”

"I want you to change the parameters and turn this polluted Earth back into the kind of place with sunshine, beaches, and bikinis..."

Ego hovered in mid-air, his blue neural tendrils slowly extending towards the three mother boxes.

"An extremely advanced mechanical life form..." Ego sensed the fluctuations of the Mother Box and exclaimed in admiration, "Their underlying logic is perfect; it's an instruction set built on high-dimensional mathematics. It's extremely difficult to directly tamper with it from the outside."

"I'll help you."

Cyborg Victor stepped forward, and the armor on his left arm rapidly reassembled, transforming into three complex probe interfaces.

"I am the child of the mother box; my code originates from them. I can forcibly tear through its firewall in an instant, creating a vulnerability that lasts for a fraction of a second."

“That’s enough,” Igor replied. “As long as you open the door, I can infuse my will into it.”

Bruce looked at Cyborg and nodded slightly: "Do it, Victor."

Steelbone nodded in response and plunged several data probes deep into the three mother boxes.

"Aaaaaahh ...

The moment they made contact, Cyborg tilted his head back and let out a painful roar.

High-temperature steam spewed from the gaps in the mechanical body. The massive data stream from the mother box, like a raging tsunami, attempted to completely wash away and engulf the consciousness of this "sub-machine".

"The firewall has been breached! Now!!" Victor gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

"easy."

Ego unleashed a powerful, eerie light, and dozens of blue energy tentacles shot out like arrows, precisely piercing the core of the Mother Box through the opening Victor had torn open.

The divine power of the gods intertwined with the apocalyptic energy of the Mother Box.

The mother box began to vibrate violently, emitting a sharp buzzing sound.

……

Meanwhile, in the distant depths of the universe.

Sector 0, O'A-Xing.

Darkseid's tall, gray body stood before the ruins of the central energy cell.

"The Great Darkseid."

Disad, hunched over, quickly walked to his master's side and bowed deeply.

"The hyperspace transport portal on Oa has been completed. We have successfully bypassed the space barrier of the universe by using the Green Lantern Corps' central energy source."

"How much longer?"

"Twenty-four hours, Master," Disad replied. "At most twenty-four hours later, this gate will be large enough to allow your entire Dark Fleet to pass through simultaneously. At that time, the wrath of Apokolips will once again descend upon Earth."
