The female adjutant's face turned grim as she whispered, "The Mother Box has been taken away!"
Hippolyta was so shocked that it took her a while to come back to her senses.
"We must light the ancient warning beacon!"
However, the female adjutant hesitated: "I'm afraid humans have forgotten the meaning of beacon fires."
But Hippolyta was firm: "But she won't!"
But before that, the Amazons still needed to bury the dead and clean up the battlefield.
While they were doing these things, Steppenwolf was already rushing to the next Mother Box storage location, Atlantis.
Things are even simpler there. In the original movie, Mera would go and check on it from time to time, but now, the place Mera goes to the most is the surface world. She hasn't been here for a long time.
So when Steppenwolf got the Mother Box, he succeeded without even encountering any decent resistance.
The first person to hear the news of the Mother Box being stolen was Arthur, but after hearing it, he just scratched his head and said in surprise:
"What is the Mother Box?"
Chapter 271 Steel Bone
Queen Atlanna looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she didn't have to worry about her actions damaging Arthur's dignity. So she raised her hand and hit Arthur hard on the head.
Her strength was of no use to Arthur, and only made him chuckle.
Atlanna felt helpless. She could only explain to Arthur: "The Mother Box is a treasure that we, the Atlanteans, have guarded for generations. It is related to a legend from long ago."
When Atlanna spoke of this legend, she couldn't help but use an aural tone.
But Arthur was troubled by what he heard, and said, "Mother, can't you put it more simply?"
I’m so tired of listening to the story starting from ancient times every time!
Of course, he would never dare to say the above words in front of Atlanna.
Atlanna had no choice but to spoil her own child. She simply said:
"In ancient times, our ancestors defeated a cosmic villain. He left behind three evil magical props called Mother Boxes. Once the three Mother Boxes are gathered, he will be able to invade the Earth again."
"And now, the Mother Box we were guarding has been stolen. I suspect the person who stole it is a subordinate of the ancient invader."
Arthur finally understood, and his expression immediately turned serious: "This matter must be notified to the Justice League immediately!"
Atlanna did not object, because one of the Mother Boxes was in the human world, and it was only right to remind them.
But she doubted that after all the changes in the world, did humans still remember the oath they had taken as guardians?
Since Dane is a decisive person, the members of the Justice League were influenced by him and also developed this decisive style of doing things.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Arthur immediately rushed to the Building of Justice.
When he arrived there, he found Dane and Wonder Woman staring at a big screen that was broadcasting a news report from Crete, Greece.
"This is an Amazon temple."
Diana said solemnly as she looked at the blazing bonfire on the screen.
Then she turned to look at Dane: "Dane, that arrow is the Arrow of Artemis. It must have been shot from Paradise Island!"
Dane continued, "This is a beacon, an ancient warning signal."
Diana was a little surprised: "You actually know this?"
Is this surprising? Some of the most extensive empires in ancient times used this method to warn others.
But Dane knew what she was surprised about. When Paradise Island sent this warning, usually only one situation would occur.
Dane turned around and saw Arthur approaching. Before he could speak, Dane asked, "Do you still have the Mother Box of Atlantis?"
"I was just about to tell you about this, but it was stolen." Arthur said in surprise.
"Dane!" Diana grabbed his arm, and Dane nodded sullenly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the mother boxes of Amazon and Atlantis should have been taken away by the same person."
Diana then remembered that Dane also had a "prophet" personality, but so many unexpected things had happened recently that she almost forgot about it.
"So this matter..."
Dane didn't try to be mysterious and said directly: "If I remember correctly, the person who did these things is called Steppenwolf.
He was Darkseid's subordinate, and was once punished for betraying him by sacrificing 100,000 worlds for him as atonement."
"Steppenwolf..."
Seeing her worried look, Dane comforted her:
"Since they still have time to send out warning arrows, it proves that they should be safe now. But if you want to go back and take a look, I can go back with you."
But Diana shook her head: "The most important thing now is not to go back, but to stop Steppenwolf from getting the last Mother Box!
If he could collect all three Mother Boxes, he would be able to directly unify the universe and reshape our planet with fire..."
Apokolips' Mother Box is much more powerful than the Kryptonian World Engine. It can destroy and reshape a planet in an instant.
Dane estimated that even with his current divine body, he would inevitably be decomposed.
He immediately called Cortana: "Cortana, invade the Star Labs immediately and search for an object named 6-1-9-8-2, which is in the shape of a regular hexahedron."
This object is the Mother Box that led to the birth of Cyborg in the movie, the one guarded by humans.
Cortana emerged from the void and immediately began to use her unique skills, and soon she easily invaded the opponent's internal system again.
Star Labs is a privately contracted laboratory that usually undertakes work for the defense department. It is one of the more powerful laboratories in the United States.
In the movie, it once took over Superman's spaceship and tried to study Kryptonian technology.
Moreover, this laboratory has many branches around the world, and most of them have close ties with superhumans.
Dane even suspected that the Russians' superpower research was also related to the local Star Laboratory.
What Superman left them once made this laboratory develop very brilliantly, but now with Dion and Umbrella, the technological reserves of Star Labs seem very ordinary.
After a moment, Cortana said:
“根据实验室日志显示,6-1-9-8-2号物品如今已经被一个叫做塞拉斯斯通的黑人科学家带回了家,这是违反实验条例的。”
Dane nodded. "It seems so."
Cortana suddenly added, "And he himself formulated the experimental regulations."
Dane glanced at her. He was sure that Cortana had just complained.
Diana interrupted at this time: "Can you find out his home address? Or his other contact information?"
Cortana nodded. "Of course, but I thought this video might be of interest to you."
As she spoke, Cortana played a video of an experiment that was encrypted and stored in the internal server of the Star Laboratory.
Dane took a look and realized that this was the same experimental process of Victor Stone turning into Cyborg.
When Arthur saw this scene, he instantly became furious.
"What is he doing? He's experimenting on a child!"
Don't be fooled by Arthur's big and strong appearance, as he seems not to be someone who can be messed with. In fact, he is a warm-hearted person.
Before he succeeded to the throne of the King of the Seven Seas, the man who was called "Aquaman" by the people living on the sea must be a good person.
So Cortana explained:
“According to the information I found, the person undergoing the experiment is Silas Stone’s biological son. He became a vegetable due to a car accident some time ago.
Dr. Stone's wife, who was also in the car, died instantly, leaving Victor Stone unable to move and unconscious."
When she said that, Arthur understood that Silas Stone wanted to save his son.
And the content later in the video also shows that he succeeded. The Mother Box replaced all of Victor Stone's missing limbs, making him a cyborg.
At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Cortana's eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Dane noticed it and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"An electronic consciousness is attempting to access the Justice Building. Its technological level is very high and fundamentally different from all programs on Earth. Its intelligence is very close to that of a normal human!"
Dane knew who it was instantly, and he told Cortana, "Let him in, but don't let him access the classified database."
Cortana nodded and did as she was told.
On the big screen, the image originally showing the experimental video suddenly flashed with a chaotic data stream, and the red data garbled code formed a line of words:
Why are you looking for me?
It seems that Cortana was aware of Silas Stone's home address and family relationships when he was looking for them.
The electronic consciousness in front of him is Cyborg Victor Stone. His thoughts can travel through the Internet, and his abilities are not much different from Cortana. What he lacks now is only experience and higher technology.
After all, they are humans transformed by the Mother Box, and it is easy for them to deal with the human network. If Cortana did not have magical powers, it would be hard to say who would win or lose in the duel between the two of them.
"Did you give him access to the camera?"
Cortana shook her head.
Dane said, "Open it to him and let him see who we are."
So Cortana opened the camera access to Victor, who was hiding in the network, so that he could see the members of the Justice League.
Kandak's Justice League was not made public, so under the restrictions, Victor did not know what this ID address meant.
But soon the font on the screen changed.
Shazam?
Chapter 272 The Second Day of Doom!
"Victor Stone, we need your help with something."
Dane spoke in a gentle tone to the child who had lost his mother and a normal life in an accident.
He originally thought that his appearance had caused a butterfly effect and Victor Stone should not have encountered this accident, but he did not expect that he still encountered misfortune.
This made him think more in his heart, is it possible that there really is such a thing as fatalism in the DC universe?
Just like Barry Allen was destined to be the Flash and Victor Swan was destined to be Cyborg?
Victor seemed to be thinking. After they waited for a few minutes, a line of words finally appeared on the screen:
What do you need me to do?
Look, how important is a good reputation?
He refused when Wonder Woman invited him for the first time in the movie!
"Cortana."
Dane called her, and Cortana understood and walked forward, showing Victor the appearance of the Mother Box in the form of a 3D model, and also explained it considerately.
“它在你们家应该被标号为6-1-9-8-2号的物品,它的能量与你同源。”
As soon as Cortana finished speaking, Victor replied:
I know this thing. It's hidden where I live, and it's been making some strange moves lately.
When Diana heard this, she immediately asked, "What exactly is going on?"
I... I don't know how to describe it, it was like it suddenly came alive... it was like it was sending a signal.
Dane immediately sensed something was wrong when he heard 377. He immediately shouted at the screen, "Victor, get out of there right now! Right now!"
But the big screen hissed a few times and suddenly went out.
Dane immediately said to Cortana: "Send the coordinates of his home to the bracelet!"
The data light in Cortana's eyes flickered, and she said, "It's done."
Then Dane turned to look at Arthur and Diana: "I suspect something happened to him. Will you come with me?"
Diana and Arthur of course agreed, and then three beams of teleportation light flashed and took them to where Victor lived.
When they arrived here, a group of demons had already surrounded Victor, whose body was 99% mechanical.
At this time, Victor had transformed white noise cannons into cannons with both hands and was shooting at those demon-like creatures left and right.
