Chapter 4454

When the tall figure walked onto the beach, the tourists let out terrified screams again. The resurrected Steppenwolf no longer possessed the high-tech metal armor that was full of a sense of technology. On the contrary, his skin turned dark gray, the muscles on his head peeled off, half of the bones on his face were exposed, his whole body emitted a thick scent of decay and cold air, and black energy surged in his eyes.

As he walked past, the sand under his feet was gradually being corroded, turning into a scorched black color as if burned and melted. All the plants on the beach began to wither, covering a range of thousands of meters. In the seawater behind him, fish corpses also floated up one after another. Dark clouds covered the sky, and cold winds whistled.

The roar of the armed helicopter engine sounded on the horizon. But the helicopter pilot just took a look from afar and took out the walkie-talkie and said: "We need support, we need support! That monster from before has resurrected again, hurry and contact Mr. President!"

Not far from the beach, the police were trying hard to evacuate the crowd. Looking at the huge figure getting closer and closer, they were also very panicked, their legs were shaking, but they didn't dare to leave their posts without authorization, and could only constantly use police batons to drive the crowd away, letting them run quickly.

The soldiers' cars soon arrived, but they received orders to stay in place and not to get close. They hid behind the bunkers and exchanged the situation nervously. And the monitoring car carrying instruments kept making harsh ringing sounds, which meant that the values of almost all harmful components were off the charts.

When the Justice League entered, everyone's eyes focused on them. Everyone looked at them with expectant eyes, but the expressions of the few people were very solemn.

The tragic scene when fighting Steppenwolf was still vivid in their minds. This number one enemy since the Justice League was formed had appeared on Earth again not long after he died, which was truly desperate.

But even so, they still had to fight, because facing such a strong enemy, Earth had nowhere to retreat. Diana took a deep breath, pulled out the God Killer sword, and rushed toward Steppenwolf.

The closer she got to Steppenwolf, the thicker the scent of decay became. Diana almost couldn't breathe. Her peripheral vision swept to her arm, but found that the corpse spots that had been suppressed by magic power and hadn't spread for a long time had actually surfaced again.

Her heart sank to the bottom. She was still being eroded by the power of death, and perhaps one day she would also become such a monster and turn against her comrades.

No, absolutely not! Diana gritted her teeth and stabbed her sword at Steppenwolf. But when she was so close to him, the temperature had dropped to the point where she was shivering with cold. That wasn't ordinary low temperature, but extreme cold at the soul level; her life force was being frozen.

Her sword hadn't even stabbed into Steppenwolf's skin, and her whole person had already started to stiffen and decay, shivering all over.

J'onn was the first to notice Diana's abnormality; her brain waves were very wrong. He hurriedly turned to Barry and said: "Barry, hurry and bring her back!"

Barry disappeared in a flash. In the Speed Force world filled with blue light, everything was peaceful and serene. But this only lasted until the moment Barry approached Steppenwolf.

The entire Speed Force world was like being burned with a hole, and some kind of cold substance was invading. From a small black spot, it expanded into a hole the size of a person. Barry took a few steps back in horror, not daring to get close.

But seeing Diana, he gathered his courage again, gritted his teeth, and continued to run toward that direction. When approaching the black hole, he felt like a bug captured by a huge gravitational vortex, and his whole person was about to be pulled into the deep dark domain.

Barry shivered, but he wasn't willing to give up on his companion. He let out a low roar, got rid of the restraint at the fastest speed, grabbed Diana, and disappeared with a "whoosh."

When the two appeared, their hair and eyebrows were frozen, standing on the spot and panting. Hal immediately spoke: "You all don't go over there anymore."

Everyone had already seen that this kind of power was very extreme: either you suppress him, or he suppresses you. Those who couldn't suppress him couldn't even get close. Just like Diana and Barry, the divine power and Speed Force they used were easily broken through by the power of death. Once suppressed, the whole person would rapidly decay and die.

Diana's skin had lost its blood color, and purple-red corpse spots had spread to her face, making her look like a dying corpse. This scared Barry to death.

"Are... are you okay, ma'am?" Barry said tremblingly. Although Diana didn't look like she was okay at all, she still waved her hand.

"Barry, your hand!" Diana exclaimed. Barry looked down and found that the skin on his hand had also started to fade, turning into that pale white of a corpse, the muscles gradually losing elasticity, the same as when Diana first got sick.

He remembered that when he brought Diana back just now, he used this hand to grab her shoulder. This thing wouldn't be contagious, right?!

"It's not contagious," Diana seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and explained, "Your hand reached out of the Speed Force and got too close to Steppenwolf, so it was contaminated."

Barry squeezed his fist, but didn't feel any abnormality in his actions. But precisely because of this, he felt even more weird, and didn't dare to move for a while.

At this time, Hal had already flown close to Steppenwolf. He was extremely careful, green lantern energy covered his whole body, protecting himself in three layers inside and three layers outside. He knew deeply that he was the first person to be eroded; if the symptoms worsened, he might completely lose his combat ability, so he had to be cautious enough.

He took a deep breath and hit Steppenwolf with a punch. The good news was that he wasn't suppressed; the bad news was that Steppenwolf was also fine.

Steppenwolf looked at him with those eyes that had completely turned dark, and a grin appeared on his decaying face, making him look even more terrifying. He grabbed Hal's arm and threw him out, and the place he touched was as painful as a needle prick, and quite a bit of death power penetrated the green lantern energy shield and touched him himself.

Hal took a light breath; it seemed that close combat was absolutely impossible. He condensed a green lantern energy shell in front of him and fired a shot at Steppenwolf, and the entire ground shook with it.

Steppenwolf was knocked back a few steps. Arthur seized this opportunity, raised his trident high, roared, and commanded the sea like Moses parting the sea. The seawater was like the tentacles of a giant octopus, sweeping toward Steppenwolf, grabbing him and pulling him into the sea.

Steppenwolf struggled hard, and the cold air of death spread, freezing the seawater into ice pillars. Arthur smashed down with his trident again, and more seawater rushed into the sky, forming countless tornadoes on the coast, sweeping toward Steppenwolf overwhelmingly.

In an instant, Steppenwolf was submerged by the seawater. Arthur hurriedly activated the power of life evolution, but this time it only weakened the thin layer of power around him, not achieving suppression at all.

Steppenwolf was very fast, and in an instant, he raided in front of Hal. A huge fist smashed into Hal's chest; Hal couldn't dodge in time and was smashed heavily into the ground, and the green lantern shield was almost shattered.

Blue lightning flashed again, and Barry pulled Hal to the side, letting him not be hit by Steppenwolf's final blow, but both were blown away by the shockwave.

To cover the two's retreat, Victor's eyes shone brightly. Mother Box modification mode opened, a deep pit appeared on the beach, and Steppenwolf, along with almost all the matter under his feet, were transferred to hundreds of meters away. With just this, Victor fell from mid-air.

J'onn hurriedly stepped forward to catch him. Victor panted and said: "He is different from Amanda, his values are too high..."

Victor had used the modification mode to look at Amanda's various data before, although he couldn't understand what these data were, he knew how high the values were. Steppenwolf was more than a hundred times Amanda's; these data were completely exponential growth.

So much so that the Mother Box, which could originally be easily modified, not only had to spend much more power than the original, but was also very unstable. Victor didn't want to dig a hole at all, but the pit that appeared on the beach was at least a thousand meters deep.

"It won't work," Victor said, "I can't do it, if this continues, the power of the Mother Box will go out of control."

He said with some annoyance: "It's not the Mother Box's problem, it's my problem. My life form doesn't support me in making modifications at the level of cosmic rules, this is too difficult."

Following that, he was stunned for a moment and said: "I understand, I have the power but not the status. The cosmic system is refusing my tampering, I don't have administrator permissions, hard modification might trigger a program error."

"Then don't modify it," J'onn hurriedly said, "No matter how hard Steppenwolf is to deal with, he is also a tangible enemy; if you accidentally collapse the cosmic system, we will all be finished."

"It's okay, as long as I don't touch the power limit. Just now it was still too reluctant, I should modify fewer things."

J'onn couldn't take care of him anymore, because Steppenwolf was rushing toward Hal again. Although he didn't know if this guy had reason at the moment, he clearly knew who was the biggest threat to him. He ignored Arthur and Barry, and just chased Hal and beat him.

Hal's green lantern energy was visibly consuming rapidly. Diana next to him saw something wrong; she said to Barry: "Quick, Barry, run a trip to the headquarters to recharge Hal!"

"No," Barry said, "I have to help him move, Steppenwolf is too fast!"

After saying this, he turned into blue lightning again, carrying Hal to avoid Steppenwolf's straight punch. Hal held a long sword condensed from green lantern energy, turned around and stabbed it, successfully stabbing into Steppenwolf's chest.

But perhaps the condensed green lantern energy wasn't enough, and the power of death quickly swallowed the green lantern energy. With a "crack," the sword shattered. The wound on Steppenwolf's chest healed rapidly.

"Damn it!" Hal cursed angrily.

Just at this moment, the red and blue figure approached from far to near, hitting Steppenwolf like a cannonball. With a "bang," Steppenwolf was smashed onto the ground next to him. Clark smashed a punch into his bloody face, and with just this punch, the exposed half of the bones directly shattered into slag.

Clark was still unsatisfied, "bang bang bang," punch after punch, almost smashing Steppenwolf's skull. At the moment of flying up, his eyes charged, and the high-energy laser "zi" pierced Steppenwolf's skull directly.

The crowd of the Justice League was stunned. Last time it was Batman killing Steppenwolf in seconds, this time it's Superman's turn, right?

But clearly, the resurrected Steppenwolf was stronger. He stood up shakily, although his head remained on the beach forever, the body without a head could still continue to move. The scent of decay around him was even thicker. Suddenly, black light flashed.

"Be careful!!!" Diana roared.
