American comics: This guy is crazy.

Chapter 409 Allen vs. Steppenwolf

The Amazon warriors were caught in the agony of a difficult octuplet birth and had no time to pay attention to the movements of the mother box.

Allen recalls that in the movie, one of the functions of the Mother Box was to open a spatial portal.

The current situation resembles the imminent arrival of Steppenwolf.

"The human world in this universe is really lively," Allen remarked.

The Black Lantern Corps is preparing to invade Earth, and now Apokolips has appeared.

Steppenwolf was merely an advance force, primarily tasked with collecting three Mother Boxes and then initiating large-scale teleportation between the two planets.

At that time, countless Parademons will swarm in and wipe out all of humanity.

According to the original setting, Darkseid did this kind of thing quite often.

A portal appeared next to the Mother Box, and a pair of arms lifted up the trembling Mother Box.

Allen looked down at the trembling mother box and felt a tingling sensation in his hands.

In the center of Paradise Island Plaza, numerous Amazonian warriors were suppressing Diana, who had transformed into a black-light zombie.

Their terrifying immortality was a major headache for them.

In particular, there were already several bodies of those who had died in battle on the ground.

Once she got close, Diana didn't hesitate to pierce their hearts with her palms, tearing out their bloody hearts and swallowing them whole.

Amazonian female warriors on the periphery provided support with bows and arrows.

Arrows, each carrying a cold glint, struck Diana.

Unfortunately, it had no killing effect whatsoever. It was as if it had hit a lump of mud, and the writhing wound squeezed the arrow out on its own, and then the pitch-black blood repaired the injury.

Hippolyta has already taken up the sword of Hephaestus and entered the fray.

The slashes, materialized by the black blood, were aimed at rescuing as many of his people as possible.

As the battle dragged on, their hearts grew heavier.

It's practically a disaster.

Paradise Island is surrounded by the sea, and it was too late for the Amazons to evacuate.

As long as you stay on the island, you will inevitably face the dark zombies.

They used the Mantra Lasso, but it only restricted his body; the Black Blood's materialized attacks never ended.

"Please make way!"

Suddenly, a shout came from afar.

Both sides in the midst of battle couldn't help but glance at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

Suddenly, I saw a figure running in the moonlight, holding an ancient iron box high in both hands.

Mother box!?

Hippolyta was greatly alarmed and couldn't help but feel anxious.

The immediate problem remains unresolved, and now the mother box has been stolen – it's a series of troublesome events.

Allen, carrying the Mother Box high, rushed excitedly towards the battlefield.

"Everyone, stop fighting! We're about to get into even bigger trouble."

As he spoke, Allen approached the battlefield and slammed the Mother Box in his hand at Diana, who was fighting desperately.

In an instant, the black blood wriggled and changed to catch the thrown object.

For a moment, no one understood Allen's intentions.

Diana, the Black Lantern zombie, looked at the Mother Box in her hand with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at Allen, who was blushing.

"Are you in cahoots?"

Hippolyta instinctively questioned, completely imagining that Ellen had desecrated Diana's body, thus seizing the Mother Box from the guards of Paradise Island.

"They don't have it."

Alan shyly turned her head away, stealing a sly glance at Diana.

What the hell are you being shy about?

Didn't you see how serious the scene was? You're going to cry.

This move left everyone baffled.

As for why Allen was shy, it was simply because Diana was wearing a funeral dress that had been damaged in the battle. It was the first time Allen had seen any skin other than his thighs and neck, so it was a normal reaction for a hot-blooded young man like Allen to blush a little.

However, the Black Lantern zombie Diana kept her eyes fixed on the trembling Mother Box, as if she sensed impending danger.

That's right, Allen's intention was to have Steppenwolf confront the Black Lantern zombies as soon as he appeared.

Let's watch a dog fight.

boom!

A stream of light appeared from the void, and a vast amount of energy emanated from it, enveloping the location of the Mother Box.

Immediately afterwards, a humanoid figure clad in silver-white armor descended upon the mortal realm.

"This is the human world that was conquered but failed to be conquered a thousand years ago."

A deep, cold voice rang out.

Steppenwolf wields a battle axe, his entire body encased in gleaming silver armor.

The terrifying aura truly made Hippolyta feel a chill run down her spine.

They couldn't even handle a black-light zombie, and now another invincible alien powerhouse with an aura like that of a god has arrived.

"Mother box!"

Steppenwolf's attention was immediately drawn to the Mother Box in Diana's hand, and he imperiously reached out, saying, "Give it to me."

"die…"

However, Diana, already a zombie in darkness, smelled the alluring scent of Steppenwolf and attacked without hesitation by unleashing her Black Blood.

The more powerful a creature is, the more emotional energy it contains.

Having just become a black-light zombie, it desperately needs to replenish its emotional energy, so it's like a strong man who has been starving for three days seeing a delicious roasted meat feast.

puff!

With a single swing of the axe.

Tearing open the surging tide of black blood.

Steppenwolf acted decisively, his primary task being to obtain the Mother Box.

An unstoppable axe strike split Diana's body apart from her head, but she was restored to normal in the next second.

The black blood that had stuck to the wound was being glued back together and repaired, as if by glue.

Without a doubt, this is the terrifying aspect of the Black Lantern Ring.

Watching the two monsters fight, the Amazonian warriors did not intervene, completely unsure which side to help, especially since their meager strength was simply insufficient to intervene.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I'm really a good person."

Allen said something nonsensical and incoherent.

Hippolyta asked, "What's going on?"

His daughter turned into an undead zombie, which attracted terrifying alien powers, leaving him distraught and unable to sort out his thoughts.

Of course, the Amazons participated in the War of the Millennium.

He witnessed firsthand how Zeus, the king of the gods, along with a host of ancient gods, struggled to defeat Darkseid, who was preparing to destroy the world.

However, it seems that Steppenwolf was not present at the time.

"It's easy to understand."

Allen said very calmly, "The Black Death Emperor wants to destroy the world, so he released the Black Lantern Rings to select the dead to strengthen the Black Lantern army. Apokolips thought it was an opportunity to reclaim the lost Mother Box."

"..."

Hippolyta was completely bewildered.

After all, the Black Death Emperor's rank was too high, far beyond what a mythical race queen like her could reach.

However, Allen's guess was pretty much correct.

The reason Apokolips chose to act now is mainly because they are certain that no hero can stop them from retrieving the Mother Box.

They have no interest whatsoever in destroying the human world.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Black Lantern Legion will be able to help Darkseid fulfill his millennia-old wish.

"Mom, don't worry."

Allen confidently assured them, "Once the White Lantern Ring is born, the crisis will be resolved, and Diana will be truly resurrected."

"real?"

Hippolyta confirmed it in disbelief.

Even if Zeus, the king of the gods, were to return to Earth, he might not be able to resurrect Diana.

Having been dead for so long, he has probably already gone to the underworld.

"100% genuine, a real diamond with eight hearts and eight arrows," Allen said earnestly.

In fact, Hippolyta herself was unsure whether she should trust him or not.

A complete stranger, acting crazy, sounds incredibly fake no matter how you look at it.

In particular, the idea that Diana could be resurrected seems absurd.

"Dark zombies are really troublesome."

Before Steppenwolf went to the human world, Darkseid warned him to be careful and avoid the Darklight Zombies.

At the time, I completely ignored it.

It now seems that the difficulty of dealing with immortality is indeed very troublesome.

Of course, the Black Lantern Ring's attack power was negligible to him, causing no damage whatsoever.

In fact, the Wasteland Wolf, who expanded the territory of Apokolips, was powerful enough to kill ordinary indigenous gods.

"Once I devour your heart, I will possess unimaginable power," the Black Lantern zombie greedily declared.

Unfortunately, Steppenwolf had no patience to waste any more time and said contemptuously, "Trying to kill me with just a ring? You're delusional."

puff!

Their figures passed each other.

The Steppenwolf suddenly burst into speed, swinging its battle axe in the process.

One arm was thrown high into the air, and a black ring was clearly visible on the index finger.

At the same moment, Diana looked at the severed arm in horror, black blood gushing from the cut as she tried to reattach it.

"it's over!"

The battle axe fell high into the air.

Steppenwolf's powerful strike landed squarely on the Dark Lantern Ring.

A deafening explosion erupted, followed by a shockwave.

The Amazonian female warriors watching were so shocked that they all collapsed.

As the Black Lantern Ring was destroyed, Diana reverted to a severed-arm corpse, her greyish-white, lychee-like eyes turning dull and lifeless.

Steppenwolf didn't want to look at it again and strode towards the Mother Box.

He was about to bend down and pick it up.

Suddenly, a golden rope took the lead and bound the mother box, which he watched slip away from his grasp.

Looking along the trajectory.

Suddenly, he saw Allen wielding the Sword of Vulcan in one hand and the Lasso of Truth in the other, handing the Mother Box he had taken to Hippolyta beside him.

"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Steppenwolf's original intention was to obtain the Mother Box and leave, without considering any unforeseen complications.

However, someone still wouldn't let him have his way, insisting on walking into the line of fire, so the only option was to grant the wish of the one who deserved to die.

Snapped!

The Lasso of Truth struck the Steppenwolf's unarmored face, leaving a bloody welt.

"Was it great?" Allen asked smugly.

Hippolyta, clutching the mother box, wisely kept her distance, not wanting to get involved in any trouble.

If someone slaps you in the face and provokes you without a word, you can imagine the Steppenwolf's furious retaliation that awaits.

"Very well, I won't let you die too quickly."

Steppenwolf wiped the blood from his cheek, his smile growing increasingly cruel.

Snapped!

While they were talking, Allen slapped him on the other side of his face.

hiss…

This guy's gone mad.

Aren't you worried about the consequences of your reckless provocation?

The Amazon warriors decided to play dead.

"Come and chase me."

Allen held one end of the Mantra Lasso in each hand and ran away like he was skipping rope, all the while taunting.

This is a perfect example of someone who's courting death even before they're actually dead.

Bang!

With a burst of power from its legs, the Steppenwolf chased after it like a cannonball.

Suddenly, Allen turned around and attacked with the Sword of Vulcan.

Clearly, Steppenwolf's battle axe is also a divine weapon.

Upon collision, sparks were ejected.

Blood-red light ignited on Allen's body, and the Berserker Blood Burning technique was activated.

When they clashed head-on, the two were evenly matched for a time.

"Who are you?"

Steppenwolf stared in shock at the human before him, who possessed strength no less than his own.

According to the records of Apokolips, humans are inherently weak and frail, with very few individuals comparable to gods. The investigation has clarified that among the enemies who could threaten him, there is no information related to Allen.

"I'm just an insignificant handsome guy. I'm good for nothing except being good-looking."

During the exchange, Allen couldn't resist making a trash talk.

handsome?

Steppenwolf frowned.

According to Apokolips's aesthetic standards, Allen belongs to an animal that has not fully evolved.

Of course, Apokolips' aesthetic standards are problematic; they prefer a completely hairless, bald appearance, believing that such an evolution is excellent enough.

"Humanity is not far from destruction. I can give you a chance to pledge allegiance to Apokolips."

Steppenwolf recruited with great sincerity, saying, "I can guarantee you supreme power."

"Can I be the leader of Apokolips?" Allen asked just as seriously.

"You're determined to die, so I'll grant your wish."

Realizing the arrogance of the person before him, the Steppenwolf had lost his patience and continued to provoke him, his eyes blazing with barely concealed fury, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

"Okay, please kill me."

While Allen was parrying and responding, he couldn't stop talking: "If you can kill me, this book will be over, and the stupid author can legitimately lie around every day."

"..."

Upon hearing such insane ramblings, Steppenwolf was at a loss for words.

At the same time, the surrounding environment overlaps and twists, forming a bizarre and complex space.

Spatial magic.

Mirror space.

Steppenwolf was even more shocked.

The magic system passed down in the human world is very famous throughout the universe.

Many powerful mages who have left the human realm have had the habit of wandering the universe.

"Are you scared?"

When space is distorted, the distance between the two increases instantly.

Now that we're using the Mirror Space, Eren is naturally going to unleash his ultimate move.

"You're not just a warrior, you're a mage too!"

Steppenwolf was amazed that such a genius existed in the world.

To be honest, Apokolips also has research in the field of magic, and the Mother Box is a product of both magic and science.

"As the protagonist, what's wrong with being multi-talented?" Allen said righteously.

A starting stance.

The form of Ekron.

In an instant, thousands of incarnations appeared.

"Constipated feces."

They shouted in unison, their voices filling every inch of the mirrored space.

As the Steppenwolf leaped up to fight, countless scarlet tentacles wrapped around it.

clap clap clap...

"Get 10 free draws upon logging in."

Allen still didn't forget to use the Lasso of Truth to slap the other person's face.

His face was covered with crisscrossing bloodstains.

"I want you dead."

Enraged, the Steppenwolf's armor flared and folded like scales, unleashing a terrifying force that allowed it to break free from the crimson magic's restraints.

Subsequently, thousands of incarnations vanished like dream bubbles.

Forehead…

However, Steppenwolf did not launch another attack; instead, it stood there, stunned.

He saw hundreds of Allens, each holding something different, looking at him with menacing expressions.

Its keen senses confirmed that it was no longer a magical incarnation, but a genuine, powerful individual.

Allen, in a very uncivilized manner, shouted for the Heavenly Gods to come to his aid.

When the odds are evenly matched, he calls for reinforcements; when he can't win, he retreats to avoid confrontation. Allen is a very pragmatic and benevolent person.

"I'll let you live a few more days, and then I'll kill you with my own hands."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Steppenwolf decisively withdrew and retreated, raising his battle axe to summon a teleportation portal.
