Chapter 4021

Darkseid took a deep breath. He knew it wasn't the right time to tear his face off with Batman. So he said: "Believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me. Think about it carefully, Batman. Rather than keeping the Green Lanterns outside the shield and not letting them in, wouldn't it be better for me to act directly on you inside the shield? In the Apokolips domain, no one can stop me. I could severely injure all of you in an instant. Why would I bother the Green Lanterns first to alert the enemy?"

"As for the Guardians of the Galaxy who escaped, I admit, I never regarded those few mice as important figures. Would you care about ants sneaking away at your feet? Besides, you locked them in prison without even informing the other side that they had been captured; isn't it because you felt these people weren't important enough? It's fine that they escaped; maybe they can add some trouble to the other side."

"I know you have never trusted me, and it just so happens that I don't trust you either. However, judging from the current situation, the balance of victory has not tilted toward us. If we two turn against each other at this time, who would benefit the most?"

"I won't hide it from you, someone has already approached me before, but the chips they offered were completely insufficient. Batman, I must remind you that it is not easy for people in this world to come up with chips that exceed the sum of all Batmen's wisdom, which is why they thought of sowing discord. Don't fall for their tricks."

The main universe Batman's expression didn't soften at all. He looked at Darkseid and said: "Don't change the concept, Darkseid. The chips that can move you don't need to exceed the sum of our wisdom, as long as they can allow you to get rid of us and march into the multiverse alone. What price did he offer you? A ticket to the Battleworld? Or other abilities to travel the multiverse?"

Darkseid cursed in his heart. He was very certain that no second person knew about Mephisto entering the Apokolips domain, but Batman guessed the general idea with just a few words. It seems that the deal with Mephisto needs to be reconsidered, otherwise Batman will definitely interfere, and then he will most likely not please either side.

"Alright, Batman, you just want to use this to make me take out more power, right? Don't think I don't know, you scattered many chess pieces not long after you came here. Now it's just a superficial disadvantage; you will turn the tables sooner or later, why must you be so aggressive?"

"When I invited you over, you should have known what my purpose was. You don't take action now, but there will always be a day when you do." The main universe Batman waved his cloak and left.

Darkseid stared at his back, his expression sinking. Of course he knew what Batman meant. When the two of them reached a deal, he knew that Batman wasn't just trying to use his power to deal with the people in the neighboring world, but also wanted to use the superheroes in the neighboring world to test his trump cards.

Now Darkseid only sent Parademons, but there are as many of these things as you want, and dying a few more won't hurt his vitality. And the Dark Elite composed of Desaad, Granny Goodness, and others under his command haven't even moved yet. How could Batman be satisfied?

The main universe Batman's suspicion is true, but wanting to take the opportunity to make trouble and pressure Darkseid to show more real skills is also true. Darkseid calculated in his heart and finally snorted coldly.

"Desaad."

"Subordinate is here." The figure of Desaad in a red robe appeared behind Darkseid.

"Transfer the Female Furies to the front line, tell Granny Goodness, don't worry about those robots, kill all the members of the Avengers!"

"Yes."

On the front line of the Asgard base, the long-stagnant battle situation finally improved with the fading of the Green Lanterns. Without the suppression of the Green Lanterns, the members of the Avengers could even push back. The Marvel crowd, seeing the dawn, gave their all, desperately trying to repel the invaders.

And just on the east side of the defense line, in the darkness lacking the light of the mechanical defense line, a spaceship like a ghost slowly approached. Several figures jumped down from the spaceship and quietly touched along the defense line.

The main universe Captain America was still swinging his shield to strike the Parademons. He lacked fatal means for these modified monsters, so he could only use his shield to constantly repel them and hand them over to his teammates behind him to solve.

And the one who cooperated most tacitly with Captain America was the Winter Soldier. Monsters repelled by the shield would be directly blown up by the arm of the Winter Soldier. Just like Captain America, Howard also replaced most of the Winter Soldiers' arms, allowing his mechanical arm to possess more powerful kinetic energy and become more lethal.

The main universe Captain America first used his shield to block the slime sprayed out, and backhanded the long-necked monster bird with two pairs of wings. Bucky from the other direction rushed up directly, his mechanical arm grabbed the monster bird's neck and pulled it fiercely, his fingers tightened and crushed the opponent's skull.

"Well done!" The main universe Captain America praised, although he didn't know which universe's Bucky that was, his timing was very good.

Just when the main universe Captain America looked over there, the Winter Soldier suddenly stopped moving. Then a painful expression appeared on his face, a violent flame suddenly ignited on his body, and before he could scream, he turned into a white light and disappeared from the battlefield.

This was also the first time a reduction in personnel appeared in this battle. The main universe Captain America was stunned, because he didn't see how Bucky died at all. Keen combat instinct made him not rush over, but activate the shield's propulsion system to retreat.

Everything happened too fast; no one noticed at all, and even if they found white light rising here, they thought it was some unlucky guy who didn't defend against the Parademon's attack.

Don't look at this group of monsters as cannon fodder, but they are actually very lethal. Although the Winter Soldier was the first to exit, there were many injured on the field, and even Doctor Doom, who was proficient in both magic and martial arts, had already exited due to injuries. In the final analysis, the gap in physical quality was too large.

"Be careful," the main universe Captain America said, "this group of monsters seems to have new attack methods! Pay attention to defense!"

He could only remind them like this, because he didn't see what was going on either. The fire could be a bomb, could be fire-breathing, or could be some magic, really impossible to guard against.

Just after he finished this sentence, a Captain America not far from him also suddenly froze, and then, like the Winter Soldier before, with a "whoosh," burned into a pile of ashes.

"Defense!! Pay attention to defense!!!" The main universe Captain America roared heart-rendingly. Others also noticed something was wrong and didn't dare to continue pressing forward, but retreated to make a defensive posture.

Doctor Doom from the central universe narrowed his eyes. He noticed something was wrong, so he said in the communication channel: "Turn on the energy monitoring system! Pay attention to the readings!"

The Doctor Dooms all turned on the monitoring system, and the Iron Men who had just joined the battlefield not long ago also started the scanning mode of their armor, but didn't find any violent energy fluctuations.

In just these few seconds, another Captain America fell victim. Then it was Night Thrasher of the New Warriors team; he was burned to ashes right in front of Luo Bote. Luo Bote screamed in fear.

"Someone!" Squirrel Girl suddenly shouted, "I saw a person, a woman in a green robe. She was holding a burning dagger!!!"

"Where? Where is she?"

"I didn't see it!"

"My scanner shows no abnormalities!"

"Where... uh!!!"

Just as they were looking for abnormalities, suddenly several bright blade lights flashed, and Iron Man's screams came from the communication channel. A white light lit up again near the east side.

"Damn it, where is the enemy?!"

"It's a woman, it really is a woman!" Someone else suddenly shouted, "Has green hair, hands look like Wolverine's!"

"Ah!!!"

Followed by another scream, someone in the channel was shouting: "This time it's white clothes! Holding a knife!"

In less than a few minutes, they had already lost five or six people. This made most people realize that the people coming from the other side might not be superheroes, but professional killers.

Don't look at the fact that many heroes have no-kill principles, but they themselves are not murderous people, and fighting is mostly based on suppressing the opponent, and they don't have the efficiency of professional killers, so fighting back and forth rarely causes reduction in personnel.

But if it is a specialized killer, it is different. Killers are all about being concise and efficient, without any fancy combat movements, pursuing rapid lethality. Their training is also aimed at this goal, and over the years, it has long become an instinct, and naturally they are crisp and neat when they take action.

"Gather!!!" The main universe Captain America shouted, "Don't be alone, don't give them a chance to take action!!!"

Everyone was approaching their companions at the fastest speed, and then retreating toward Captain America's direction. This move was naturally effective, and there were no more reductions in personnel before everyone successfully gathered.

However, this is space combat after all; the defense line is three-dimensional, and the enemy attacks from 360 degrees. If they gather into a ball, there is no defense to speak of. They had only retreated from their marking point for a short while, and the Parademons had already broken through the mechanical defense line and pressed over.

If this continues, in less than half an hour, the opponent will land directly. The base defense is already empty, and if the Parademon army is allowed to land, it will be completely finished.

Stark's brain turned rapidly. He shouted in the communication channel: "The one using fire should not be able to break through the mechanical defense, so she didn't attack Iron Man and Doctor Doom. Those with claws can break through the armor defense, so they will attack those wearing armor. But they should all be unable to cause damage to the god race, so the Asgardians didn't suffer casualties."

Everyone then remembered that Asgard still left a Royal Guard here, but they had been defending on the west side and were not together with the superheroes.

"Your Majesty the Queen, are you there?" Steve had already started communicating with that side and said, "We encountered mysterious killers on the battlefield; can you send someone to help us?"

"Valkyrie will be there soon." Sif replied.

Soon, Valkyrie brought a squad of more than a dozen Asgardians to where the superheroes were. She scanned the circle, but didn't see any killers.

"Their stealth skills are very powerful," the main universe Captain America said, "I witnessed the assassination at close range just now, but didn't see anything. We must find a way to force them out."

"You all spread out a bit," Stark said, "I can use the magic core to perform a magic power burst; the energy turbulence should destroy their stealth field. But it might also cause your shields and life-support fields to fail briefly."

"No problem, there are no completely ordinary people here; we can all hold on for a while." The main universe Captain America said.

Everyone retreated a bit, making room for Stark. Stark took out a core shining with magic light, reached out and pulled out his original one, and then forcefully inserted the magic core into his chest.

Hum—

First a light tremor, then it began to roar. Light enveloped Stark's whole body, and then turned into ripples and suddenly swung out.

Zzz—zzz—zzzz—

All the electrical signals on the scene were interfered with, including Charles's brainwaves. The communication equipment even began to emit sharp and harsh screeching sounds, and all force fields failed instantly.

In an instant, several strange figures appeared on the battlefield.
