177. A man's paradise
There is no power in the mother box, the mother box itself is power.
The invaders of the Apocalypse carry the Mother Box from one planet to another, and the combined Mother Box will exert the power of unity.
That power can not only destroy the planet, but also turn it into a devastated shell, like Steppenwolf his own home.
When the invaders of the Apocalypse invaded the Earth, the unifying power of the Mother Box was about to be released.
The Amazons, Atlanteans, Terrans, the Ring-Lamp Legion from the stars of the universe, and the gods of the earth appeared, and they joined forces to resist.
They were defeated and defeated, and the three mother boxes were left on Earth, to be guarded by the Amazons, Atlantis, and Terrans.
……
On a large transport plane in the air, Diana recounts to the crowd what she knows about the history of the Mother Box.
Everyone listened and listened.
"It's hard to get together again with so many heroes." Bruce Wayne squinted his eyes and pondered.
In Diana's recounting of the past, Bruce Wayne discovers that the reason for the victory was the gathering of many heroes.
Nowadays, there probably won't be so many talented people anymore.
But... Enough to have Superman, right?
Bruce Wayne pondered, glancing at Clark Kent beside him.
"So we're now going to Paradise Island to find reinforcements." Diana said.
"That place where there are only women? I've heard it talk to me. Superman Clark patted the flicker who was playing with his mobile phone next to him, and couldn't help but ask Diana curiously.
"Yes." Diana nodded, "It's really only women. ”
"Now...... Are we going to a place where there are only women? ”
Barry Allen couldn't help but be stunned as he listened to the battle plan discussed by everyone around him.
It's a place full of women... Isn't it the same as the daughter country mentioned in the famous book of the great oriental country?
Isn't that ......
A man's paradise?
This place is too exciting for him, who is still very young and young.
Thinking about it, Barry Allen looked at Diana's simple dressing style without a few pieces of fabric, and couldn't help but look forward to the place called Paradise Island even more.
"That's right, it's called Paradise Island, and it's a place where we Amazons have lived in seclusion for generations......" Diana slowly said the information about her hometown.
Paradise Island, also known as Shemisguera. Created by Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, the island is protected by a magical protective force field that makes it impossible for human high-tech devices to detect the island's existence, thus protecting the island's inhabitants, the Amazons.
The Amazons have lived there in seclusion for generations.
"Where there are only women..."
Aquaman Arthur Curry couldn't help but smile, revealing a smile that everyone understood.
For Diana to tell the information about Paradise Island for a long time, he and Barry Allen have almost the same concern, completely only paying attention to the fact that Paradise Island only has women.

"What are your concerns...... Diana pouted helplessly, then looked at Steppenwolf and asked, "By the way, how did you confirm that Steppenwolf would appear on Paradise Island before our plane took off for Paradise Island?" ”
It was because she suddenly said that Steppenwolf would appear on Paradise Island first that she decided to bring the group back.
"I just know."
Suddenly, he said casually.
Diana was silent for a moment, then said no more.
Arthur Curry was stunned, looking at the people in front of him who were no longer speech, and wondered: "You just believe it?!" ”
Everyone here is not an ordinary person, and they would decisively believe this conclusion without evidence and deduction process, which makes Arthur Curry can't help but be a little confused.
"Either way, I believe in suddenness." Superman Clark heard Arthur's words and was the first to speak.
As a brother from childhood to adulthood, he unconditionally supports Kuku.
"I believe it too." Barry Allen raised his hand and nodded earnestly.
Having experienced the events of the last time and space reversal with Ku Hu, he would not have the slightest doubt about Ku Hu's decision.
And Diana and Bruce Wayne just nodded, and neither said anything more.
Obviously, they also believe in such unsubstantiated words.
"Let's not talk about why I'm so sure Steppenwolf went to Paradise Island first." Bruce Wayne said suddenly.
"Even if Steppenwolf isn't the first to go to Paradise Island, we should go to Paradise Island." Bruce Wayne analyzed seriously.
"Combined with the current intelligence, the three mother boxes located in Paradise Island, Atlantis, and our hands are all targets of that Steppenwolf." Bruce Wayne explained, "So we might as well go to Paradise Island and join the Amazons there, and when the time comes, no matter how many Steppenwolves come to find the Mother Box on Paradise Island, we can also work with the Amazons to deal with Steppenwolf, and the odds of victory will be better than if we were going it alone." ”
As Bruce Wayne's words fell, Arthur Curry fell silent and said no more.
Bruce Wayne's words make a lot of sense, all three mother boxes are Steppenwolf's targets, so it is the best strategy for them to go and work with the Amazons to wait for Steppenwolf's arrival.
As for why not go to Atlantis? It's in the middle of the sea, so it's not suitable for combat effectiveness.
As they discussed, the transport plane gradually approached Paradise Island.
"There's a magic shield up ahead, I don't know if you'll be able to get there." Diana looked at the empty sea view in front of her through the window and said with some concern.
This is the magical protection arranged by Zeus, which has safely protected the safety of their Amazon people for thousands of years.
She was skeptical about whether the Wayne Group's private jet would be able to cross the past.
"Barry Allen, have you learned the feeling of wearing nothing after watching the cheats of the speed force for so long?" Suddenly, he asked Barry Allen beside him.
"Nothing to wear?" Barry Allen twisted his head in confusion, "I haven't seen this part yet. ”
"Now, let's take care of it and remember it."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Barry Allen's back, and stretched out his right hand to put it on Barry Allen's back.
He used a part of the speed force in his body as a guide, so that the speed force in Barry Allen's body worked in a special way with his speed power.
The next moment, the divine speed power in Barry Allen's body began to overflow continuously.
These speedy forces covered the entire plane with the spread of electric light, and everyone on the plane also found that their vision had changed slightly after the speedy force spread to their bodies.
Everyone present could clearly see through the window of the machine that a hemispherical transparent shield had appeared on the originally empty sea in front of them.
Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this the magic shield that Zeus laid out?" ”
The crowd fell silent.
"I'm not sure if you'll be able to go over, or stop the plane first, and I'll go in and talk to the Queen." Diana asked the opinions of the people around her.
"We don't have to stop, we can just walk through."
Holding Barry Allen's shoulder, he suddenly spoke up and said to everyone in front of him.
As the words fell, everyone only felt that everything they could see through the window instantly became ambiguous.
The next moment, everyone appeared on an island with the scent of birds, and the plane stopped quietly on the shore of the island.
Suddenly, he withdrew his hand, and everyone's vision of the magic shield disappeared in an instant.
All of them looked in the flickering direction.
I saw that he slowly left behind Barry Allen and headed towards the door of the plane.
Barry Allen, on the other hand, was pale and lying in his chair, gasping for air.
Obviously, everyone could see that the reason why they were able to pass through the magic shield just now was because they borrowed Barry Allen's power.
This made everyone can't help but show a somewhat surprised expression.
"What? Still not leaving? ”
Suddenly, he opened the door of the plane, and turned his head to look at the people in the cabin who were not moving.
Hearing this, everyone came to their senses and immediately followed Qi Yu and walked off the plane.
Barry Allen also took a breath and slowly stood up and followed everyone out of the plane.
While everyone was admiring the view outside the plane, Diana squinted her eyes and looked around.
"Something is wrong, there is no one around."
Diana said, frowning.
It stands to reason that since someone accidentally broke into Paradise Island during World War I, they would often send people to patrol the edge of Paradise Island.
But she looked here and about for a long time, but she didn't find a single clansman.
"What's wrong?"
Clark raised an eyebrow and looked at Diana, who looked wrong.
"Something's wrong!"
Diana frowned and walked in a certain direction without hesitation.
Seeing this, Superman picked up Bruce Wayne from the ground and followed Diana, and Barry Allen also followed with Arthur Curry in his arms.
Suddenly, he looked at the crowd running out, and looked at the place where the Amazons had gathered from a distance.
I saw that all the Amazons were waiting there, looking at the "people" summoned by the passage opened by the mother box.
"Oh, it seems to be a coincidence."
Suddenly, he looked at Steppenwolf, who had just arrived, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……………
……………
The mother box, which was stored in an open space, began to shake wildly.
Streams of light seeped out from the mother box.
Around, countless Amazons were holding bows and arrows, swords, shields, and spears, all of them with serious faces.
This movement of the mother box has been going on for some time, which makes the female warrior guarding the mother box immediately report to Queen Hippolyta.
Queen Hippolyta understands the seriousness of the matter, and she must take it seriously as something of such an important level as the Mother Box.
Hippolyta stood in the middle of the line, staring at the mother box with a solemn face.
The next moment, the vibration of the mother box was even more violent, and a brighter light penetrated and shone out.
Hippolyta hurriedly raised her hand and shouted, "Amazons, prepare for battle!" ”
All the Amazonian warriors present let out a loud shout, and then clenched their weapons in their hands.
The next moment, the energy of the mother box exploded.
The shockwave knocked more than half of the surrounding female warriors into the walls of the indoor altar, and the female warriors' formation was scattered.
A transparent channel compresses the air, faintly forming over the mother box.
The next moment, a man covered in a battle suit made up of silver crumbs and spikes appeared, with two hideous horns on his head and a giant axe in his hand.
"Steppenwolf!"
Hippolyta gritted her teeth hard.
She knew that this guy who suddenly appeared was none other than Steppenwolf, one of the number one generals when the Apocalypse invaded the Earth that year!
Steppenwolf, the military commander of the Apocalypse, is a member of the dark elite under the dark lord Darkseid, who has helped Darkseid conquer countless planets and parallel universes over a long period of time.
Steppenwolf walked towards the mother box with his giant axe, ignoring the female warriors around him who were waiting for them after reacting.
"Mother, I have been wandering for thousands of years and have been looking for you." Steppenwolf reverently approached the glowing mother box, "You've finally summoned me!" ”
"You're not going to like this welcome ceremony." Hippolyta interrupted Steppenwolf with a sudden voice.
The next moment, the bows and arrows in the hands of the surrounding female warriors were launched.
Steppenwolf casually swung the giant axe in his hand, and a strong shockwave appeared out of thin air, knocking the surrounding arrows into the air.
Looking at the female warriors who were about to continue to rush up, Steppenwolf slammed the giant axe in his hand towards the ground.
A yellow glow flashed across the great axe.
In the sonic boom channel of interstellar teleportation opened by the mother box overhead, the basic units of the Apocalypse Star flew out of it.
Demonoid, the basic class of the Apocalypse. They were once captured by the Apocalypse Army from various planets in the universe, and then transformed into biological weapons using Apocalypse technology, so the number is almost endless.
They have no mind or free will, not only do they have good physical strength, they wear armor and laser guns, and they even have wings that can fly on their backs.
Knowing only to kill, they contributed greatly to Darkseid's aggression.
And as countless demonoids poured out of the sonic boom tunnel, the female warriors around them who were originally preparing to deal with Steppenwolf turned their guns one after another, preparing to resist the demons that were already close in front of them.
Steppenwolf wandered through the chaos of the battlefield near the mother box located on the altar in the middle.
He stretched out his hand to take the mother box, but was pulled by countless female warriors.
He used his strength to break free from the female warriors, but the mother box in front of him was pulled away by a rope from the Amazonian queen Hippolyta.
Countless female warriors began to cover the evacuation of Queen Hippolyta with the mother box.
Steppenwolf roared from behind to break free from all the female warriors, then leaped to his feet and approached Queen Hippolyta from the air, who was riding away.
However, the Steppenwolf in the air suddenly had a creepy feeling.
It was as if he was being targeted by countless ferocious beasts, which made him feel extremely dangerous.
So Steppenwolf, who believed in his instincts, decisively resisted it with a giant axe in his chest.
The next moment, a roar approached from afar.
"Look what you've done?! Bastard!
! ”
I saw Diana brandishing a long sword falling from the sky, and her usually heroic and calm face was full of anger at the moment.
She slashed her sword into the great axe on Steppenwolf's chest.
The terrifying power turned Steppenwolf's upward trend into a fall in an instant, and it fell to the ground with a terrifying sound.
