Chapter 596: Decision

Being blasted head-on by the energy blades that were wrapped in the power of two Infinite Primordial Stones at the same time was by no means the best start Eric could have imagined, but he was truly powerless. Steppenwolf's strength as the highest-ranking commander of the Apocalypse Star army was already exaggerated, and now getting two Infinity Stones is even more powerful.

If it had been before, Eric would still have the confidence to beat him, but not now, not in his state of running out of oil.

Another three-story building was easily crushed by his body like a building block, and the rubble fell to the ground with a "bang". Eric felt all the cells in his body protest, and a longing for a moment of rest welled up in his heart. But he also knew that he couldn't rest yet, and he had to wait for the time being.

The demonic figure slowly approached through the smoke and flames, Steppenwolf's heavy axe dragging a fiery iron-red crack through the cracked earth, an evil red light reflected off the horns of his helmet, and a cruel smile on his lips.

Eric took two deep breaths, his resolute gaze pointing straight ahead, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place as he moved. Colored light and shadow appeared above Steppenwolf's head, and the godkiller sword slashed down with a golden sword. Steppenwolf blocked with an axe, and the sword axe struck a dazzling fire in midair.

Steppenwolf let out a loud shout, and with a turn of the battle axe, the purple gem light on the blade of the axe rose, and the spiral energy soared into the sky. Eric didn't touch him, and teleported and disappeared again, his body circled counterclockwise for half a circle with lightning speed, and stabbed Steppenwolf in the left side of the back with a sword.

Steppenwolf swung away, and the purple gem flashed again, and the invisible purple blade suddenly sparked out, drawing an arc and striking at Eric. Eric reacted quickly, and his body split apart from the middle, turning into three identical clones, and the purple air blade staggered through the middle of the two clones. The three Eric swords at the same time, and the golden sword qi immediately surrounded Steppenwolf's whole body and hit his body one after another, causing him to fall backwards again and again.

With a successful blow, Eric didn't stop moving, activating the speed blessed by the speed force and flying away, and the sword light swept away with a golden storm. Steppenwolf was about to stop him, but the void on either side of him suddenly shot out dark red and dark purple chains, wrapping around his left hand and right hand respectively, which was the embodiment of chaos magic. Steppenwolf's movements faltered, and Eric's Excalibur took the opportunity to hit head-on again, and Steppenwolf retreated in embarrassment, half-kneeling to the ground, leaving deep sword marks on his rugged face.

Eric was about to continue to attack with this rhythm, but his movements involuntarily slammed, his breath in his chest suddenly stagnated, and a violent colic hit his whole body. His whole body was covered with beads of sweat, and he knew that it would be very difficult for him to hold on for the next second, and he immediately felt down. Hearing a prompt from the battle armor that said "100% output power", the colorful light that lingered around him suddenly lit up again, and the boundless energy was like a vortex condensed in his palm.

Steppenwolf remained half-kneeling, staring coldly at his movements, but unfazed.

The colorful air currents caused the surrounding gravel to fall out of gravity, and were crushed into powder by the volley under the action of a powerful energy field. And at the moment when the final blow was about to be accumulated, the vortex in Eric's palm suddenly dissipated without warning, and the light dimmed instantly.

Eric's body went limp, half-kneeling, gritting his teeth and brewing a little, and with another "100% power output", he tried to collect the dazzling energy into the palm of his hand again. But this time, it lasted for half a second shorter than the last time, and then it "snapped" and dissipated.

He was too weak to even force his body to deliver the final blow of his life.

Steppenwolf hooked the corners of his mouth - this was just as he had calculated, let the other party consume it himself, and even avoid the effort of doing it himself. He stood up, his tomahawk swinging in the air, and a staggered blast of red and purple light slammed into Eric, who was powerless to dodge, sending sparks flying all over his body and almost across a city before smashing into a burning ruin.

He raised his hand weakly, and tried to get up one last time, only to see the armor fade inch by inch from his arm, and he fell back into sleeping mode.

Steppenwolf fell from the sky and landed five or six meters in front of him, stepping on the ground as it landed. He shook his head and said, "Are you still alive?" The vitality is really amazing, and he is an admirable fighter. ”

After a pause, he raised his tomahawk and said, "But that's the end of it." ”

The blazing storm came down with the swing of the axe, and Eric almost felt dead. And at this moment of lightning, he vaguely seemed to see a golden electric current flashing in front of him, and his body fluttered like a falling cloud, and the next moment he appeared seven or eight meters away, narrowly avoiding the last blow of Steppenwolf.

It's The Flash. At the critical moment, he finally failed to use his late superpowers, and rescued Eric from Steppenwolf's hands in a timely manner. The Avengers and the rest of the Justice League arrived, and Steppenwolf turned around vigilantly and swung Wonder Woman's sword from behind, only to be hit by Superman's cannonball-like fist in the door, crashing through a series of buildings and flying far away.

"We can't win if we fight hard like this." Superman snapped, "The rest of you cover Eric's way out, and I'll stay with Diana." ”

"Are you kidding?" Green Lantern said, "You're asking us to keep you and die." ”

"No, Lampman." Diana said, "Carl and I stayed to fight for hope for everyone. After a pause, she turned her gaze to the weakened Eric beside the Flash, and said, "And now, hope is in this child." ”

Eric listened, trying to dissuade them from doing soβ€”he didn't think it was a good deal for Superman and Wonder Woman to sacrifice for himself, but his throat was so dry that it was almost on fire, and he didn't even have the strength to spit out a full syllable.

"And they were right." In the end, Captain America calmly said, "We are experiencing a war, and war cannot be won by blood alone...... War always requires sacrifice. We have no chance of winning like this, we need to fix up, we need time to analyze the situation and make a plan. ”

"Then it's decided." Superman said, the man had risen into the air, "Hurry up, I'm not going to leave my hand later...... Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't be affected. ”

After saying that, he had already shot in the direction of Steppenwolf with a "bang".

Diana got up, turned back and smiled at everyone, her flying black hair highlighting the unique sassy and heroic posture of the battlefield Valkyrie against the background of gunsmoke and war.

"The future, please."

With that, she also soared into the air, chasing Superman's shadow and flying away.

Countless sub-demons surrounded Steppenwolf, and the two of them fell from the sky, their thin backs in stark contrast to the endless army of invincible beings in front of them.

But the two looked at each other, but they tacitly smiled.

They shouted in unison, facing the invincible army, and rushed without regret to this decisive battle without victory.
