Bruce Wayne's estate.

Underground base.

"There's no news over there?" The reunited Justice League, Diana Prince walked around the ground with some uneasiness. She'd been worried about Bruce Wayne since she had a big plan, and lately, that worry had apparently come true.

"Not so fast, they." Aquaman Arthur Curry clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned back in the chair behind him, and answered Wonder Woman Diana's words in a relatively calm tone.

"The data dimension is closed. It was clear what Steppenwolf said Darkseid had done. I don't think it gets any worse than this. We've all been in the data dimension, and we all know what a magical and powerful place it is. If it falls into the hands of that Darkseid, I'm afraid it will make the opponent's power even stronger. Lex Luthor was a little dissatisfied. As a smart person, he attaches great importance to the data dimension. The functions of the data dimension were even far more important than any artifact and power in his heart. He needs it, and all the scientific and intelligent people on this planet need it!

As a humanist, Luther's long-standing idea of something that can lead human civilization to soar is inevitable. And now, the data dimension is turned off. This is tantamount to cutting off the evolution of human civilization and the future he has planned.

"We fight off the invaders, don't we? Even though he was strong, he was beaten away by us. Why are you so serious? Barry Allen raised his hand high, and he tried to make his voice sound cheerful, relieving the solemn faces of the crowd.

"You're right, we drove away the invader, the Steppenwolf. We won that war. But we all knew that Steppenwolf was never the real enemy we had to face. We have to face the man who sent him behind Steppenwolf, the master of the Apocalypse, who has conquered many worlds and planets, and the mysterious and powerful Darkseid.

Steppenwolf has already made us feel a lot of pressure, but what about the Darkseid who is hiding behind the scenes? Does his prowess make us feel hopeless? Just like the original Thanos. Martian Manhunt Ryan Jones shook his head with a wry smile, and even said the name that frightened them, even though it had been a long time ago, could still be remembered by them in the depths of their hearts.

Not surprisingly, the name provoked a stress response from many in the conference room. Everyone couldn't help but recall that they were ravaged and beaten again and again under that Thanos, and under the hope of hope again, they brought them despair again and again.

If it weren't for the other party's final achievement and the intention to stop, they wouldn't have survived at all. That Thanos is the most formidable enemy they've ever encountered!

Pure power.

No matter what signs of a turnaround, the other party can use their strength to forcibly erase this possibility.

"Okay, okay, since we've even faced Thanos, what else can't we face now? It's just a Darkseid who hasn't shown up yet. Superman Clark Kent forced a smile and encouraged.

Clark's words softened everyone's faces. Yes, they've all faced Thanos, so what else? At worst, it's just a repetition of the Thanos incident. Although Darkseid, who has conquered countless worlds, is powerful, maybe that is the exaggeration of the Steppenwolf?

"Besides, don't we still have allies? The data dimension is hacked and shut down, and I don't believe they will be indifferent. Unless they are willing to give up everything we have gained here. Although it is a bit of a loss of his own prestige to say this, when he is not an enemy and an ally, the man from Luke's camp is still quite reliable. Maybe soon, we'll be able to see reinforcements from each other. On the bright side, maybe we'll be able to meet the long-lost captain this time? Green Lantern Hal Jordan rubbed his hands together and smiled.

Many members of the Justice League laughed along, but there were still a few of them whose faces did not fluctuate from beginning to end, calm and solemn. So the people who laughed in agreement returned to their earlier solemnity and seriousness.

"It's my fault." Batman Bruce Wayne spoke for the first time in a peaceful, somewhat suffocating environment, "I shouldn't have sought out that power and inspired them, the attention of Darkseid that had always been drawn, and the invasion of Steppenwolf. ”

"You can't be blamed for that, can it? I mean, you have good intentions, you want to use that power to protect humanity from a repeat of Thanos' events. No one knew what was going to happen. Barry Allen spoke with some eagerness, comforting Bruce Wayne, who had no expression on his face. He really thinks so. As he spoke, Barry looked for support from his peers who were sitting or standing next to him, hoping to get their approval.

"Don't worry, Barry, we didn't mean to blame Bruce. Or rather, accusing him now, which will do nothing but tear our team apart. Pointing fingers won't make things better. Especially when things have already happened, we all now understand the need to help each other and face it together. It's like when I faced Thanos. Diana stepped forward and patted Barry on the shoulder, who was standing up excitedly, and held him back to his seat by the shoulder, smiling tolerantly, soothing Barry's rising emotions.

Diana was right, admitting mistakes and blaming is pointless now, and these can be discussed after the trouble is resolved. What we should be thinking about now is how to deal with that Darkseid.

From the information analyzed from Steppenwolf's words, they belong to a powerful civilization and race, calling themselves the Protoss. They have great power, and they have great military technology. This tells us that the enemy is not alone this time. We need to think about not only the Darkseid, but also the generals and the army under his command.

If the other side still has a general like Steppenwolf, and the quality of those soldiers brought by Steppenwolf, I can only say that the situation we have to face will be bad. We even had to let our own people go into battle with us.

We need more powerful weapons, Lex. Targeted weapons. Superman took Diana's words, and his last glance swept to Lex Luthor on the side, paused, and continued, "Take out the kind of energy you used against me." ”

"I will." Lex, who was clicked on by Superman Clark, snorted and didn't say much. He wasn't embarrassed at all, and he wasn't the only one present doing the research on Superman's weaknesses. As far as he knew, Bruce Wayne, who had caused all of this to happen, had been researching ways to restrain Superman and be everyone.

If the other party's laboratory technology library is stolen, then one of them present will be counted as one, and they will not be wiped out, but the one who can survive to the end may be worse. Compared to him, Bruce is a real dangerous figure. Even if he has been carrying out the justice he has held on to in the dark.

If possible, Lex would definitely be as far away from teammates as Bruce as possible, even if he couldn't avoid it, and would try to reveal as little information about himself and hole cards as possible, but just as he has a smart, inventive brain, Bruce also has a helpless talent for intelligence gathering.

"The corpses of those soldiers have already been studied, and they are all lifeforms that have been forcibly modified by the same technology. According to genetic testing, the soldiers did not come from the same ethnic group, but from a variety of different ethnic groups. They have great strength, vigorous vitality, and superpowers that have been preserved by some strange races.

From this point of view, Steppenwolf is not deceiving people when he says that they have conquered countless civilizations and worlds. We must be mentally prepared to deal with an endless army. Maybe we don't even need to see that Darkseid, and we will be directly swallowed up by this demon-like transformation army under his command. Lex shook the swivel chair under his seat from side to side in his seat and spoke.

"So what are we going to do?" Barry thought of the overwhelming image of the demon-like army, and his scalp tingled slightly. He even doubted that his speed could soar in that environment.

"What do you think?" Lex squinted slightly at Bruce, who was silent again, and with his knowledge of Bruce, who had delusions of victimization and crisis coping, once he felt that you were a threat, then no matter what, he would have a restraint weapon in his arsenal for you. Even if he will keep this weapon forever, he will definitely be able to get it when he needs it.

I have suffered a loss, and I never eat it a second time.

Perhaps the most representative of that restraint weapon is the silent Thanos. Although Lex is also a little unable to imagine how to kill Thanos, he believes that Bruce must have prepared a lot of surprises for the Thanos who may never wake up. Even Luke, who was standing behind Thanos, was gathering information and preparing. This time the disaster was triggered by an important piece of information he had gathered. Lex believed that Bruce was for Luke this time, but he had caught the attention of that Darkseid in the early stages.

"I have a solution. Give me a moment. Not surprisingly, Bruce answered in the affirmative. His personality and character also give his words a high degree of credibility. So for a while, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"The threat of an approaching army can be removed for the time being. Then the rest are generals like Steppenwolf and that Darkseid. Jon Jones sighed, "If we had a Thanos, then we would probably be much less stressed. We've gotten rid of Steppenwolf, but we've also lost the anti-life equation. This power fell into the hands of Darkseid and was a mortal threat to all life and civilization. This trouble is no less than that of Thanos. ”

"Paradise Island has a record of this power, and after what happened, I went back and looked through the tomes and asked one of the elders of the clan. Anti-Equation of Life has a powerful ability to forcibly control others, influence their minds, and make them submit to their users. Its origin is not verifiable, and it is said to be an antimatter universe diametrically opposed to the universe, but it cannot be determined. If we are to face Darkseid, we must face the threat of the anti-life equation. Diana said resolutely, "We need to prepare a large number of high-purity Tranquil Blue crystals. We don't know if the power of Tranquility Blue will be able to restrain the anti-life equation and invalidate him, but this is the best option we have at the moment. Maybe when the reinforcements arrive, we'll be able to get other help. Bruce? ”

"I will make a sufficient amount of Tranquil Blue crystals of high purity. However, it should be noted that although Lex and I have improved the method of preparation and purification, there is still a gap in purity between it and the Quiet Blue Crystal produced by Luke. Bruce nodded, his eyes meeting Lex's gaze.

"Do your best." Diana paused and continued, "In addition, Darkseid also has the power of the Omega Effect, and the danger of this power is not weaker than the anti-life equation in my opinion. It can wipe out all targets targeted by Darkseid. No matter how strong it is, no matter how good you can run, no matter how fast you are, even if you hide in the gap of time, it can follow it like a shadow. It's a force that, once used, is bound to hit the target. And the target that is hit will be directly erased. ”

Diana said as her gaze swept over Superman, Barry, Martian Manhunter and others one by one. The few people who were swept away by the gaze were all in their hearts, and they understood that Diana was reminding them.

"This kind of power is too laid-back, isn't it?" Barry was a little desperate, "As long as he is seen, he will be hit, and if he is hit, there is a high probability that he will die." Wouldn't it be that we can't get to each other at all, and we will die under the gaze of each other? Why do I think he's more powerful than Thanos? ”

"There is no absolutely invincible power, it must have some kind of vulnerability. The power of Bai Ling's lamp ring may be able to deal with this situation. Bruce spoke calmly.

"Ah, here are you?"

A violent energy level swept through space, and several figures fell from the sky, falling into a void open portal, and appeared directly in Bruce's bat base. It was a girl with a long double ponytail and some baby fat. Beside her was a muscular man with a gorgeous hammer, and a man with a thin body and a hollow orb on his chest.
