Chapter 393: Steppenwolf Returns
"I'm not sure, master. I'm just speculating and analyzing based on the available information. Only when I really get into it can I get a more accurate conclusion. But in any case, it has incredible power, which is indisputable! At least its existence will allow the Apocalypse and you to have a better observation and management of the conquered worlds. Dissad bowed slightly. Although he often got into trouble with the man on the throne, Darkseid, for some reasons, and was even killed and resurrected by the other party, and punished back and forth. But in this matter, he didn't want to split with Darkseid, he needed Darkseid's strength to help him break through the invisible wall.
"You crave to get into?" Darkseid sensitively grasped Desad's excitement. He didn't doubt Dissad's words, but for historical reasons, he always had to guard against him. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around him who could replace him, Dissad would have been buried permanently by his own hands.
Dissad, who was questioned by Darkseid, was silent for a moment, and a fanatical smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Who wouldn't want to enter?" I've always felt that it would be incomparably useful for researchers like me. I don't hide my thoughts from you, but rest assured, this time, I won't do anything superfluous. ”
"You say that every time you are resurrected. Every time you say you won't make a mistake again. "Darkseid doesn't trust Desad's assurances. He was a suspicious man, and his trust was extremely scarce, and people like Dissad, who always had his own little ideas, obviously did not deserve this rare trust.
"But as always, I'm still willing to give you a chance. But you know the consequences of failure. "Darkseid still gave Desad a chance after all. After all, he didn't have anything at hand that could match the other party's ability in this kind of thing.
"Thank you, my wise master!" Dissad replied with a trifled bow.
……
"Are the Aesirs here gone? Asgard was slaughtered with the god king Odin? I don't know why, hearing the news from Wonder Woman's mouth, Thor has a calm calmness.
It seems that the Asgardian Protoss in every universe is quite unlucky, either they have no homeland, and their clansmen have become cosmic wanderers, or they are all wiped out, and their families and people disappear together.
The Curse of Ragnarok pervades any world where the Aesirs exist. None of the Odin and Asgardians could dodge. No matter what you do, it will come.
There are even some cosmic Ragnarok that were personally activated by his sister, Hela, the god of the underworld. Thor was a little concerned when he heard that another Aesir had encountered Ragnarok, but when he heard too much of it, he became numb.
Isn't it the twilight of the gods?
Which version would you like to hear?
Even the world of Azeroth has names like Odin Hela Valhalla. Although he was served a pot by his sister Hela, even the self of that universe was killed cleanly and swallowed up the power of the other party.
So now when he hears Wonder Woman say that the Asgardians, who are the Old Gods, were slaughtered by Steppenwolf, his mood does not fluctuate, but he knows that there is another person who drives Ragnarok, and it exists in the story of the destruction of the Aesir Protoss.
This kind of fatalistic accident made the grinning Thor can't help but muttered in his heart. Although his current strength, as well as the strength of the Aesir Protoss, far surpasses those isotopes of the other universe, it still can't be said that Ragnarok won't happen. Maybe he started it?
So after seeing too much Ragnarok, Thor had already seen it. It is precisely because of this that he knows that the star soul will bring destruction to Asgard when it matures, but he still happily stuffs the star soul into Asgardri, and uses Asa's divine power, psionic energy, and the power of the World Tree to nourish each other.
"Doesn't look like you're feeling a little sad?" Diana raised her eyebrows slightly, she was just explaining some information to Thor, but she suddenly became a little more interested.
"Am I supposed to be sad?" Thor smiled innocently, biting the cap of a bottle of wine open with his teeth, and paused his head back to pour most of the bottle into his mouth.
"You're not the same as the Thor I remember." Diana shook her head.
"It's not the first time I've heard the news, and the first few times I heard it, I still had anger in my heart and the idea of revenge coming back. But now I'm lying flat. There are so many universes, and the Aesir Protoss are experiencing the twilight of the gods in a certain universe every moment, and I can't protect them and avenge them. What's more, many of the cosmic Ragnarok were either initiated by me Thor Odinson or my sister Hela.
The only thing I could do here was to meet the Steppenwolf and smash his head with my hammer. There's not much I can do about anything else. Thor looked left and right, saw a trash can, strode over, and threw the empty bottle in his hand. He is now much more educated in his day-to-day behavior.
Diana was stunned by Thor's words, and her face softened for a while.
A sparkling portal swirled out of the air, and a dusty Stephen stepped briskly through it. The portal behind him collapsed into a cloud of sparks the moment he stepped out, and disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.
"Is everything going well?" Thor laughed and greeted him, holding Stephen in his arms, his muscular arms and calloused palms tightly around the other party, slapping the other person's back loudly, and asked with a smile.
"You'd better be lighter." Stephen, who was a little overwhelmed by Thor's unusually warm greeting, was held in his arms by him with a blank face, and then coughed because of the slap on his back.
"How's it going?" Diana also walked over. She knew what Stephen was going to do.
"You have to trust my spells, and Hebleen's skills." Stephen broke free of Thor's restraints, straightened his somewhat messy collar, and said subtly.
"In other words, if there is another attack, we will receive the news in advance and prepare, and we will not be caught off guard by another killing? This is good news to celebrate. Diana's eyes were full of surprise and she nodded to Stephen.
"I did some set-ups, and when we noticed a strong energy approaching, we would get a message. This will help you to react early. At least don't toss around on this planet and in the galaxy next time. It's a bit of a stretch. Stephen replied truthfully. He used magic and some of Heberen's instruments to set up some alarms a dozen light-years away from this small galaxy. Time was too tight and the materials were not complete, and the only thing he could do was to build a protective barrier for the planet, and then arrange some monitoring methods outside when he was done.
"Didn't you force each other to find out where the other party's nest was?" Thor complained again and again. If you know the coordinates of the opposite side, where do you need to be so guarded? Wouldn't it be better for him and Stephen to go straight to the door?
"I've said it many times, we paid a terrible price to get away with defeating that Steppenwolf. Even the old gods are dead, and only we Olympus are left. Diana's look and tone were full of helplessness.
"Hopefully it won't keep me waiting." Thor specially left his affairs and ran over to move his muscles and bones to fight with people, but for so many days, he didn't see a single shadow of the enemy, and he was a little irritable.
"When the data dimension is unlocked and restarted, as long as those people are still in this universe, they will definitely be quickly locked in the area. I have Luke's authority, but not compelled to do so, and Luke's advice is not to restart it. Stephen spread his hands. If there is the help of the data dimension, with the authorization of Luke's permission, they don't need to do these superfluous actions such as enchantment or probing, and they just go to it.
……
In the dark starry sky.
In the brilliant light connected together, huge warships with a cold texture and a majestic and hideous appearance jumped out. At the porthole of the battleship at the head, the regrouped Steppenwolf was looking at the asteroid system that had sunk him in the sand light years away, his eyes full of gloom and anger.
"Are we going to attack from a distance and wipe out their planet?" An Apocalypse Star warrior came up to Steppenwolf and asked respectfully.
"No, they still hold the secret of that power! Darkseid needs it. We must bring him back the [spoils] of satisfaction this time! Those mortals who were able to enter that magical dimension! We are not here to kill merely. Get closer, threaten them! I'm going to cause chaos within them first. ”
Steppenwolf, who had suffered a loss, did not recklessly bring some people to the door this time, and this time, in order not to fail, he obtained Darkseid's permission, pulled enough men and motherships from the Apocalypse, and played tactics. He couldn't allow himself to experience another shameful defeat here for the second time.
After the fleet calibrated its orientation again, the jump engine started again, causing a ripple in the void around the mothership, and just as a curtain of light was about to engulf the fleet, the surrounding spatial parameters suddenly became chaotic and agitated, causing the fleet in the teleportation state to be forced to reappear from the teleportation and fall silent.
"The space is locked down?"
Steppenwolf was the first to perceive the spatial parameters of the surrounding movements. This blockade is not necessarily like a seal, but only uses changing spatial data to affect the activation and teleportation of the fleet's jump engine. In other words, their fleet is not able to make long-distance jumps in such an area where the spatial parameters are constantly changing.
If space is an encrypted intelligence, in the case of grasping some important information, the start of the jump engine is the key to decryption, in the case of stable space, the engine can quickly calibrate and solve the encrypted information, and then successfully enter the transition state. But now, the ever-changing spatial parameters are like an encrypted intelligence that is constantly changing encryption methods, and the decryption speed of the Apocalypse's jump engine cannot keep up with the speed of spatial transformation.
In this case, no one would dare to risk teleporting, and it is very likely that they will go directly into the turbulence of space, or encounter a more dangerous situation.
A huge, octopus-like monster suddenly appeared in front of the fleet. Its body is tens of thousands of meters long, and although it is as small as dust in the vast universe, its sense of existence is unexpectedly strong. In particular, the bloodshot eyeballs on the skull that kept shaking and turning in the sockets had a breathtaking impact.
Steppenwolf just glanced at the monster's one-eyed and immediately closed it. But all the people in the fleet who were swept by the monster's one-eyed and coincidentally looked at each other were all dizzy and had a strong distortion.
The thick bulkhead could not stop the monster's gaze, and after a glance, the powerful and neat fleet lost contact in an instant, and the interior fell into chaos.
After an axe turned the side into a monster and split the subordinate with an octopus head in half, Steppenwolf quickly glanced at the area where the monster was before.
Nothing!
In an instant, the alarm bell in Steppenwolf's heart suddenly rang out, and he jerked his head up at the top of the mothership, and he could feel a huge monster fall on top of his mothership, and the bulkhead metal around the mothership creaked. The energy shield was almost activated before it became ineffective, engulfed by an invisible devouring force.
Steppenwolf even saw a slippery, slime-tinged sucker tentacle covering the porthole. With his head held high, he felt a chill all over his body.
Through the thick bulkhead, the monster lying on the mothership of Steppenwolf stared at each other, he knew that the other party was looking at him, the majestic cold and pervasive spiritual power, the bulkhead could not be separated at all.
Squeak!
The piercing sound of metal tearing sounded that it could be called a sonic weapon, and a large hole was torn open in the roof of the mothership, and a huge eyeball was sticking to this cave and scanning downward, the pendulum-like eyes that kept swinging from side to side, just looking at it, it made people calm down, no longer thinking, and the heart was completely filled with madness.
Just after a few glances, Steppenwolf felt that his head began to swell, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart, getting bigger and bigger, wanting to break out of the cocoon!
Sou!
Steppenwolf bit the tip of his tongue, forcibly twisted his gaze in the pain, and threw the powerful Earthbreaker axe in his hand as a projectile towards the eyeball above.
The axe spun in circles in mid-air, and finally the blade slashed into the eyeball.
Compared to the size of the eyeball, the size of the axe is not worth mentioning, but the power contained in the axe still hurt the eyeball, and the dripping burst mixed with blood sprayed down from the sky, dousing the Steppenwolf below. At the same time, a scream of intense anger and rage caused Steppenwolf to uncontrollably rise and curl up on the deck. (End of chapter)
