Small octopuses of various colors hatched from the splashed liquid, and launched indiscriminate attacks on all the living forms around them like face-hugging insects. Steppenwolf, as the center of liquid, is given special care.

The bodies of these octopuses are filled with slippery and greasy mucus, which reduces friction and makes them exceptionally tough. In particular, the sharp teeth all over his body, after blooming like chrysanthemums, bit heavily on the armor of Steppenwolf. There are even some small octopuses, which use suction cups to firmly suck the skin when they are close to their faces, and their tentacles persistently probe into the eyes, mouth, mouth and other parts of Steppenwolf.

Crunch.

Steppenwolf's armor was torn off by the sharp teeth of an octopus, and the smooth surface was covered with pits, some of which were corroded by liquid, and some were bitten out by teeth. The metal used by the Apocalypse Star to forge artifact equipment is not completely defenseless against the bite of the octopuses.

Sensing a burning sensation in his skin, Steppenwolf's hand grabbed an octopus lying on the left side of his face, and the tentacles of the other party cooperated to open his eyelids and stab them into his eye sockets. The other two, on the other hand, were struggling with his closed teeth.

An octopus flew out of Steppenwolf's face with a splash of blood, and the tossed octopus tentacle suction cup also had a piece of flesh on it. The wounded Steppenwolf seemed to irritate the octopus even more, and it had been squirming and running on the ground to choose the nearest creature, but now it was bouncing and pounced on the Steppenwolf like a flash.

Steppenwolf's hand waved an impenetrable [wall] beside him, and there were constantly octopuses that pounced on him and flew out, but there were still other octopuses that pounced one after another. A whale would burst into blood when it was hit by Steppenwolf's fist, but the octopus bounced on the ground a few times as if nothing had happened, shook its head, and then charged again.

If you zoom in, the entire fleet is completely confused. The soldiers of the Apocalypse were wiped out almost instantly. The ship's protective power was broken through without any effect at all, and then the mind was distorted, and the companion who had not yet caused the body to follow the distortion directly launched a sneak attack on the companion.

Internal fighting.

Ship guns roared.

The vast fleet is rapidly destroying from the inside out at a rate of collapse. Hardly anyone was spared from the close flotilla arms fight, and brilliant fireworks flashed one after another in the dark starry sky. Like a tidal wave, it pushed towards the fleet group layer by layer.

Steppenwolf's mothership had been avoided from other ships, but it was in a much worse situation at the moment. A huge octopus was clinging to the outside of the mothership, and the elite soldiers brought by Steppenwolf inside could be said to be completely annihilated in this short moment. Only Steppenwolf, the fleet commander of the Apocalypse, remained.

But Steppenwolf is also in a messy state at the moment, endlessly, and more and more octopuses almost form an octopus pile, crushing him to the bottom. And there are new octopuses in all directions that are constantly pounced on and join them.

The terrifying devouring power continued to weaken Steppenwolf's physical strength, and what was even more terrifying, and even more unbearable, was the whispering sound that kept sounding in the depths of his soul.

It's noisy, but it seems to contain a powerful mystery.

Steppenwolf knew he should block out the sound, but the very demagogic mystery forced him to listen to it all the time. His mind was being corroded little by little.

Gradually, his thinking began to change from resistance, vigilance, and finally to listening. He didn't feel any problems with the whole process. Even if his intuition was still frantically sounding the alarm at him, a mental wall that blurred his perception cut off the dangerous alerts brought about by his body and crisis senses.

In the midst of a mysterious and vague chaotic voice, Steppenwolf remembered his current master, Darkseid.

Apocalypse is a planet full of evil deeds, and they are born with great strength, vigorous life, and powerful technology that they have accumulated. Since the birth of the Apocalypse, they have conquered countless worlds and civilizations, and they have powerful technology from conquered civilizations from all over the universe. The forces in the entire universe that can be compared to the strength of the entire Apocalypse Star are very few at all.

They worship power, especially the mysterious power that was born with the universe and transcends it. They try to master that power and make it even stronger. Conquer, crush, and destroy all obstacles that stand in their way.

They are the new gods of the new era!

Whether it is his elder brother, Zonos, who is known as the strongest new god of the Apocalypse, that is, by Gakhan, or his son, Uxus, the new king of the Apocalypse, that is, Darkseid after the succession, the father and son have walked on this road personally.

Yuga Khan wanted to explore the power of the Wall of Origin, but he ended up in vain, and he was trapped in the Wall of Origin. But no one in the entire Apocalypse Star shouted the slogan of saving him in the past.

The second son, Darkseid, after snatching the power of the Omega Effect from his brother, began his own journey to find other powerful powers.

Of course, Darkseid didn't get a glimpse of the power of the Wall of Origins. He knew that his strength was inferior to that of his father, Yuga Khan, so his goal was in the other direction from beginning to end.

Luckily for Darkseid, he managed to find an extremely powerful force that rivals the Omega Effect, the Anti-Life Equation!

This power has allowed the Apocalypse Star to successfully become the incomparably powerful new Protoss. With countless life golems and powerful minions, no one can truly resist Darkseid's power. With this power, he jumped to his feet and really snatched power from his mother and relatives.

He, Steppenwolf, was aware of this, so he joined Darkseid and bowed down to his command.

He obeys the strong, the ultimate victor!

But that doesn't mean Steppenwolf is loyal to Darkseid. In the absence of external forces and opportunities, he may serve Darkseid forever, conquering one world after another and destroying one civilization after another for him, just to increase the cannon fodder and search for those mysterious powers that may exist for him.

But now, his thinking was involuntarily deflected: why couldn't he kill Darkseid and replace him as the new king of the Apocalypse?

No, no, no, Darkseid's strength is too strong, and he still has two earth-shattering powers in his hands, the Anti-Life Equation and the Omega Effect, and he can't fight against either, not to mention that Darkseid can mix the two.

Steppenwolf had a ridiculous and bold idea in his mind, but it was quickly extinguished by his own sanity and fear of Darkseid. He didn't want to die.

What are you afraid of? You've got my power, and you don't have to be afraid of him anymore! You will succeed in defeating him! Crusade against him! Let him kneel before you and respectfully call you your master. Don't you want to see this happen? Oh, you shake your head, but your mind is more honest than your body! You want to do this, you want to do it crazy and desperately! You want to give him back all the things he has done to you, the reproach he has done, untouched. Stop struggling and throw yourself into my arms!

You will gain the power you have always dreamed of, and you will achieve your long-cherished wishes! All you need is to give up your resistance and you will have all of it! Come on, stop struggling! Let's become one, and you can use my power as you please!

The demagogic voice continued to pound against Steppenwolf's mental barrier. Under the demagogic words that went straight to the heart, Steppenwolf's octopus-covered face showed a look of hesitation and struggle, and the wall of his mind was even more crumbling, as if it was about to collapse completely in the next moment.

A strange and powerful force was injected into Steppenwolf's body through the octopus on his body, and it was endless. Every minute and every second he felt that he had become stronger, and every minute and every second he felt like he was a new life. His body was swelled and torn apart by the influx of power, but soon, his new god's body continued to crumble under the pressure, healed, and then adapted to the influx of new power.

Cycle.

Eventually, Steppenwolf even liked the pain and happiness in the end. For a man like him, who is also chasing strength and victory, he is willing to soak in the sea of pain for a long time if just bearing the pain can bring him a huge increase in strength.

As a result, Steppenwolf's struggle and resistance psychology weakened even more, and the wall of the mind appeared to have dense cracks when the glass shattered. The next moment, with Steppenwolf completely giving up resistance, a huge eye suddenly appeared above his mind, like the sun in a planetary system, and the light covered the sky.

Steppenwolf's body showed black marks, and a certain intricate pattern on his eyebrows flashed with a dark black light as if outlined by a hot wire.

Just when Steppenwolf was about to completely fall and his mind was completely distorted and harvested by the owner of the eye, another powerful power, similar to the power of the owner of the eye, suddenly emerged from the depths of Steppenwolf's heart, and collided with the eye octopus that entered the core of Steppenwolf's heart.

An invisible psychic storm ravages Steppenwolf's sea of mind, a hurricane sets sail, and a tsunami shakes. The Steppenwolf Mind Consciousness Sea, which was used as a battlefield, entered an apocalyptic scene in an instant.

The forehead suddenly broke off with the power imprint pattern outlined by the pen, and the Steppenwolf's skin was soaked with fine beads of blood, which were quickly devoured by the octopus crawling on his body.

The Steppenwolf, whose head was swollen and aching, finally regained the sense of his physical senses, and the sense of crisis brought about by life and death, as well as the prostration of the violent loss of physical strength, further amplified the fear in his heart.

He felt like he was out of luck! Regrouped and led the army, originally intended to have a beautiful battle of revenge. As a result, the expected enemy was attacked by a sudden monster before he saw it, and the heavy losses should be said to be light, and the total annihilation may be more realistic.

And this time, he brought not only consumable demons, but also a large number of Apocalypse Star Clansmen. In any case, his operation this time can be described as a failure of failures.

He won't have another chance.

Maybe Darkseid won't kill him, but will definitely give him a mission he can't accomplish and let him die.

The power of that monster is simply too terrifying, specifically attacking the human mind and spirit. As long as there is the slightest relaxation and psychic loophole, it will be covered and invaded by the opponent's pervasive psychic power, and then accumulate advantages like a snowball, allowing you to fall into the other party's psychic trap unconsciously and surrender your soul.

As close to the other party's vast will, he even has a peculiar perception, that is, the other party does not care about his strength and life or death, but just regards him as a good prey that has been marked, and the other party just wants to lure him to fall and corrupt him, as for what he does after falling and corrupting? The other party doesn't care and doesn't care. When he dies, his soul, and all the information and experiences that his soul has imprinted, will be devoured and digested by the other party as food.

A powerful person with strength like him is very favored by the other party. It is an excellent hunting ingredient on each other's recipes.

If it weren't for the sudden force inside his body that woke him up, he would definitely not be aware of any abnormal depravity and corruption, and finally become what that monster wants.

As for the source of the body's power to fight against monsters, Steppenwolf also has a certain speculation.

Anti-Life Equation!

Darkseid didn't know when the power was imprinted on his soul. This may be the reason why he can't resist any orders from Darkseid, even if he doesn't feel faithful.

The collision of the two forces at the moment made his mental world feel a cracking pain, but it also made him rarely regain his own free will.

Rumble!

An axe spun and flew back from the depths of the void, slamming into the deck in front of Steppenwolf. The powerful impact and the high temperature of the flame lifted off a large number of octopus piles in an instant. The shapeless Steppenwolf staggered to stabilize his body, stepped forward and grasped his axe, and the power contained in the axe body was replenished into his empty body in an instant.

Suddenly, Steppenwolf's gaze looked at the depths of the starry sky after the mothership was torn apart, and a blazing flash of light, from far and near, smashed towards him.

It was a hammer, a hammer with a swarthy center like a black hole that devoured all light and matter, surrounded by a rotating halo of large galaxies.

Looking at the hammer, Steppenwolf saw a raging galaxy smashing at him. (End of chapter)
