American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 339 War Begins (Part 2)

"A blood debt must be repaid with blood?"

Gotham City.

Perched atop the tower.

A mocking look appeared on Steppenwolf's face as he stood with one foot on the bat statue.

"What will you use to pay for your blood debt?"

Wielding a giant axe, the Steppenwolf leaped suddenly from the sky.

Boom!

It plummeted hundreds of meters, shattering the floor and dust beneath its feet.

Without any preamble, the two sides clashed instantly.

"Drink!"

Diana clasped her hands together and struck the magical bracers on her wrists.

hum!

A massive sound wave spread from his wrist, exploding like a violent air cannon, carrying rain and debris as it hurtled towards the Steppenwolf.

"For Darkseid!"

He flipped the giant axe in his hand and cleaved it into the cement, firmly fixing his body to the ground.

Before Steppenwolf could catch his breath, another pair of blazing red beams suddenly crashed down and slammed into his silver armor.

hum~

The terrifying temperature scorched the silver armor to a boiling point. Before Steppenwolf could even see what hit him, his body was thrown over by a tremendous force, rolling and scraping along the already potholed alleys of Gotham City like a concrete road churned up by a bulldozer.

"Stop wasting time talking to him, let's attack together!"

Clark clenched his fists and thrust his legs forward like a cannonball towards Steppenwolf.

"Ah Fu, mobilize the Nightwing fighters!"

Batman also unleashed his superpowers, and a giant bat-shaped fighter rose from the night sky, unleashing countless whistling bullets and missiles at the abandoned building that Steppenwolf had crashed into, giving Steppenwolf a barrage of firepower.

Smoke and dust mingled with splashing rain as the Steppenwolf staggered to his feet amidst the haze.

"That's enough!"

He swung his giant axe violently, clearing away the dust.

"For Darkseid!"

Steppenwolf howled, as if those words could grant him immense power. Golden lightning crackled and flashed as his giant axe struck at Superman, who was charging towards him.

boom!

The golden lightning, carrying terrifying power, slammed into Clark's chest, sending him flying.

"ah!"

Before Steppenwolf could catch his breath, another sharp sword thrust out, slashing down towards Steppenwolf's neck.

The dashing Diana was like a beautiful female leopard, twisting her waist to make the sword pounce on Steppenwolf's neck while her shield slammed down on Steppenwolf's cheek.

"You think you can kill me?"

Steppenwolf roared, raising his giant axe to block the slashing blades, while his other hand slammed down on the shield in Diana's hand.

boom!

Shield and fist collided, and the next second Diana was sent flying backward, smashing through a high wall in the corner and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"This guy is strong!"

Victor held the mother box warily, raising his right hand with a serious expression.

The metal body created by the Mother Box seemed to sense the danger and kept deforming and reassembling to form a metal cannon.

The cannon's aperture was aimed at the Steppenwolf, and after a brief flash of blue light, a bright blue laser shot towards the Steppenwolf.

A cloud of dust billowed up, and then a figure broke through the smoke and dust.

"The mother box! It's mine!"

With half of Steppenwolf's armor shattered, Batman, who was watching from the sidelines, instantly guessed Steppenwolf's tactics: abandoning the dodge of the attack beams in exchange for quickly closing the distance to Victor. It can only be said that this guy is ruthless not only to others but also to himself; he is a qualified tactical mastermind.

"Hold him back!"

Batman controlled the Batplane to crash into Steppenwolf, but the monster simply leaped away to avoid the impact. At the same time, countless Parademons flew out from the spatial portal, fearlessly rushing towards Clark and Diana, who had just climbed up from the ruins.

The countless small fry were like a clogging sludge blockage, preventing Clark and Diana from focusing on anything else.

Meanwhile, Steppenwolf, who was not far away, also took advantage of the few seconds to arrive in front of Cyborg and reached out to grab him.

"Now, the mother box is mine!"

Steppenwolf grinned and reached out, grabbing Cyborg by the throat and slamming him heavily onto the floor. As the force struck, Cyborg instinctively released his right hand, catching the Mother Box firmly in his grasp.

"goodbye!"

Without pausing or hesitating, Steppenwolf gripped the Mother Box tightly.

The mother box, resembling a six-sided Rubik's Cube, lit up with a silver light, enveloping Steppenwolf, and then vanished in a flash of light before everyone's eyes.

He's gone!

The intense heat of his gaze tore through the Parademons blocking his path. Clark landed with a serious expression, his boots slamming into the rain.

"Damn it."

Diana beheaded a Parademon with a single sword strike, the colorful blood spurting and splashing onto the concrete, wetting the road.

"He got away!"

Exuding a menacing aura, Diana wiped the blood from her cheek and looked at Batman: "Contact the Singer and tell Gino we failed."

Before the woman could finish speaking, a golden beam of light pierced through the clouds and fell down. Immediately afterward, a demonic head flew out of the golden beam, and a mocking voice rang out: "What? Failed?"

"Gino?"

Clark, who had looked dejected, suddenly widened his eyes and his face lit up with surprise.

With a step out of the golden teleportation array, Gino smiled and looked at everyone.

The people present also showed expressions of surprise to varying degrees.

Clearly, with Ginobili's return, everyone felt like they had found a pillar of support and could stand tall again.

"In your hands"

Batman hesitated, looking at the pair of mother boxes in the boy's hands.

"Ah, this thing?" Gino looked down and shook the mother box in his hand, saying, "I just got it from Chebelli."

"Steppenwolf left them in his own stronghold, abandoning the pack of demons to guard them."

"I thought it was too wasteful, so I brought it back."

Hearing Gino's words, everyone fell silent, and then they began to exchange glances.

"Wait, what's with those expressions?" Gino frowned as he looked at the group, sensing that they were hiding something from him.

As his gaze swept over the steel skeleton standing by the roadside, the boy raised an eyebrow: "Victor? Where's the Mother Box you had?"

These words made the already awkward atmosphere even more awkward.

"Uh, the mother box was originally in my possession."

In the ensuing silence, Victor finally decided to recount the events: "But it was stolen by Steppenwolf."

Upon hearing Steppenwolf's words, Gino suddenly realized what was going on.

The boy squinted at the corpses of the dead Parademons around him, then glanced at the Mother Box in his hand, and sighed helplessly, "So, this is a home swap between me and Steppenwolf?"

Well, he stole two Mother Boxes from his house, and Steppenwolf also stole Mother Boxes from the Justice League members.

Based on simple calculations, I'd say I actually gained a mother box?

"Alright." Gino sighed, tossing the two mother boxes to Batman for safekeeping, rubbing his neck as he said, "It's okay that the mother boxes were stolen."

"We can just take it back!"

What kind of creature is Steppenwolf? Anything that lands on Earth belongs to Earthlings. What are aliens doing here?
