Chapter 4390: Far Star Project (Part 15)
But the appearance of the two of them scared Victor quite a bit, mainly because Arthur's injuries were too scary. So Victor didn't have that feeling of "the savior has come" at all; he just wanted Arthur to run quickly.
Arthur was actually in a bit of a dilemma. If Steppenwolf wasn't in the sea, he really couldn't exert his power. So he shouted at Victor: "Run! Run to the sea!"
Victor didn't react for a moment. But Steppenwolf had already approached. Just when the claws were about to grab his neck, a figure arrived at high speed; J'onn slammed into Steppenwolf's waist, slamming him away heavily.
"Oh my god, I just finished cleaning up the mess in the Amazon," J'onn sighed and said, "How come this..."
Before he could finish his words, Steppenwolf jumped up again. Even without armor, this guy's physical strength was not to be underestimated. He also made a fierce collision, using his feet to hit J'onn's abdomen, slamming him into the building next to him. The building shattered in response.
Fortunately, when Doomsday jumped over before, everyone in the building had run away. To be precise, everyone on this street had run away. The biggest unlucky ones on the scene were this group of police; after all, the police cars were gone, and they couldn't run away driving donuts.
However, Schiller was knowledgeable; he directly greeted the police to run to the headquarters base. The base built by Batman must be of high quality; if the sky fell, this base wouldn't collapse.
Seeing that there were no ordinary people on the street, these super-powered individuals didn't hold back anymore. J'onn used all his strength again and fought hand-to-hand with Steppenwolf. You punch, I kick, neither could do anything to the other.
Victor had already taken the opportunity to run to the seaside. Arthur and Mera had also arrived; now the sea was their territory. As long as they went into the sea, no one could do anything to them.
They originally wanted to dive into the sea directly. But when Victor was flying in mid-air, he suddenly saw a tourist who was a bit wrong.
Because of the commotion Arthur made before, there were no people on the beach. Even if there were a few left, seeing them fly over, they all ran to the shore screaming. Only one person stood there blankly looking at them.
Victor subconsciously glanced over there. Upon making eye contact and seeing the yellow light coming out of his eyes, he felt as if he had been hit directly, falling straight down from the air.
Arthur, who was rushing to the ocean, looked back and hurriedly ran back. They picked up Victor and shouted: "Victor! Victor!"
But Victor seemed to be possessed by something, as if he had fallen into a nightmare he couldn't wake up from, constantly shouting "Mom" in his mouth, his limbs twitching constantly.
Arthur cursed secretly; he knew it wouldn't be that easy. But something even more terrifying was yet to come—the originally clear and calm sky over Metropolis suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds. The sun disappeared behind the dark clouds, and between the gaps in the clouds, eerie yellow light began to faintly show.
Something similar to branches and moving mud protruded from the gaps in the clouds. They formed a strange palm in mid-air, followed by an arm and a shoulder. Finally, a terrifying monster face with yellow light coming out of its mouth and nose protruded from the clouds.
"What the hell is this again???!!!"
Before Arthur could finish shouting, he suddenly felt a trance. The images of Amnesty Bay being submerged, his father and relatives all being drowned in the water, began to flash again.
He covered his forehead, groaned in pain, and fell to the ground. At the same time, J'onn, who was fighting Steppenwolf, suddenly saw the dried corpses of his family lying at the end of the street in his peripheral vision.
J'onn almost collapsed on the spot. He didn't even care about Steppenwolf and rushed directly toward that direction. But Steppenwolf wasn't a vegetarian either; he grabbed J'onn's distraction and slammed him directly onto the ground, punching him in the head.
"Bang!" J'onn's head was hit crooked directly. Blood flowed down from the corners of his mouth and eyes. But he was still struggling somewhat blankly, because he saw his family screaming painfully in the fire, but he couldn't do anything.
Diana, who had returned from the Amazon and learned more information about the Mother Box from her mother, arrived just in time. She stabbed Steppenwolf in the back with her sword, forcing him to let go of J'onn. But Diana just glanced at the sky and also began to feel restless.
She took a deep breath, stopped looking at the images of her sisters on Themyscira screaming, and focused on fighting Steppenwolf. But she was not Steppenwolf's match to begin with; under one-on-one fighting, she was suppressed to death and was soon thrown out.
Steppenwolf's target was not her. Although Diana was the daughter of the Amazon Queen who might possess the Mother Box, this relationship was still too far. He had to solve the Mother Box that was close at hand first.
He flew toward the seaside and soon saw the three people lying on the beach. Steppenwolf curled his lips—it was truly effortless. He also subconsciously glanced at the sky, but a scene of Darkseid judging him appeared before his eyes.
Steppenwolf shook his head; he had already realized that the monster descending on Earth seemed to have the ability to make people feel fear. But with just this little bit of fear, only people with fragile willpower couldn't hold on. He wouldn't be afraid.
Although those images kept harassing him, he still walked over first, preparing to solve Victor. He picked up Victor, weighed his body, and then realized that the Mother Box might have already merged into his body. To prevent the Mother Box from being damaged, he decided to take Victor away entirely.
He had just thought about taking off when he saw a green figure flying from afar. A green energy hit Steppenwolf, directly knocking him from mid-air to the ground.
"Damn it, why is he here too!" Hal, who had seized the initiative, seemed even more panicked than him. Using Barry, he lured Parallax over, originally wanting to solve Parallax and remove the mental interference with the Justice League, but he didn't expect Steppenwolf to take action at this time. This was troublesome.
Although Barry lured Parallax over, his own state was also very bad. Because his mental power was exhausted, the Speed Force was always on the verge of getting out of control; he didn't even dare to let him leave the hospital now.
Arthur and Victor had both fallen. And Steppenwolf was here, which proved that J'onn and Diana were probably not much better. In other words, the entire Justice League was left with him! I'm fighting Steppenwolf plus Parallax?! Really?!
Actually, if it were just Parallax, Hal wouldn't be afraid. Because with sufficient willpower, Green Lantern energy could restrain Parallax's power. That's why he wanted to lure Parallax over. However, Green Lantern power could restrain Parallax, but couldn't restrain Steppenwolf. This guy was a tank playing melee, his body was much harder than his own, and being caught by him was death.
But things were already like this, and Hal had to fight. Considering that Parallax's mental interference had no effect on him, he decided to solve Steppenwolf first. After all, if he was caught by Steppenwolf while dealing with Parallax, that would be fatal.
He flew toward Steppenwolf, first using Green Lantern energy to harass him tentatively. Steppenwolf wasn't stupid either; he couldn't stand there and let him hit him. Every time Hal raised his hand, he ran. And his reaction ability and running speed were top-notch; Green Lantern energy was very difficult to hit him.
But Steppenwolf often used some feints to trick Hal into raising his hand. In the process of constant dodging, he continuously approached Hal. Hal wanted to pull away from him, but once he turned to run, Steppenwolf chased him quickly. The distance between the two was never pulled apart.
Hal ran and fought in the air. But Steppenwolf could still approach him while dodging attacks. Seeing that the energy stored in the Green Lantern ring was not much, Hal gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, flying directly toward Parallax.
He thought that if these two monsters could fight, it would be great. But even if Parallax's IQ wasn't high, Steppenwolf wasn't that easy to fool. When Hal stopped in front of Parallax, Steppenwolf pretended to rush forward, but when Hal turned to dodge, he also followed with an extreme turn, directly grabbing Hal's ankle.
This was troublesome. Steppenwolf directly grabbed his ankle and smashed him onto the sea surface. Hal let out a scream, Green Lantern energy wrapping his whole body. But Steppenwolf tore the somewhat thin Green Lantern energy with one claw, followed by another claw, directly disemboweling Hal.
"Uh!!!!!!"
Hal let out a scream, repaired his body with the last Green Lantern energy, and dived at the fastest speed to pull away from Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf seemed to still have fear of seawater and didn't dare to dive, but turned back and rushed toward Victor.
Hal hurriedly rushed out of the sea again and hugged him. But he still couldn't restrain Steppenwolf. The two fought on the sea surface for a long time, and Hal was also covered in blood. The flickering Green Lantern ring indicated that the energy had been completely exhausted.
Steppenwolf didn't care about him anymore. He knew that the big monster in the sky was aimed at Hal, and his most important task now was to take away the Mother Box.
Steppenwolf flew back to the shore. Hal struggled to swim toward the shore, dragging a long trail of blood behind him. But he still didn't give up; even to this point, Parallax's fear attack still couldn't shake him.
Seeing Steppenwolf pick up Victor again, Hal gritted his teeth. No, absolutely can't let him take Victor away! Whether it was out of team friendship or for the sake of the subsequent situation, Victor absolutely couldn't fall into the enemy's hands!
But now the Green Lantern energy had been exhausted, and the power battery was not by his side. He had no way to replenish energy, so he had no way to block Steppenwolf. Even without Green Lantern energy and strength, he might drown here directly.
His body had already begun to sink. Hal tried his best to hold his breath and swim up, and at the same time, he still didn't give up, still trying hard to think of a solution. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and turned his head to look at Parallax covering the entire sky.
Anyway, the Green Lantern ring was already empty. So why not use Parallax's yellow lantern energy?
Fear cannot defeat me, and I, will manipulate fear!
Hal used his last bit of strength to reach out toward Parallax in the water. The yellow lantern energy that was originally attacking him found that it couldn't break through Hal's mental willpower at all, so it could only settle for the next best thing and began to invade the Green Lantern ring. Rich yellow light surrounded Hal's arm and then spread to his whole body.
At the same time, in the base of the Guardians of the Universe headquarters, the Green Lantern ring's monitor issued warnings one after another. A group of blue big-brained creatures flew over quickly, looking at the readings on it in shock.
Accompanied by the yellow lantern energy gathering thicker and thicker, a figure flashing with yellow light broke through the water surface from under the sea, attacking Steppenwolf like a bullet.
?? The reason why this unit deviates so much from the original characters is that the author doesn't have the courage to watch the movie again. You know, I am a shit-eating king who has watched the Metal series three times and the Vampire series five times, but unfortunately, Warner is the heaven-sent shit-making king, so he is stronger, I surrender.
