Earth.
Metropolis, STAR Labs.
Rath·Stone's eyes were deeply tired, his forehead was wrinkled, and his short hair had not been washed since Steel Bone was seriously injured. The hair flakes fell on the shoulders of his white coat whenever he moved with him.
Looking down at the technological construction data formed by Steel Bone, he showed deep helpless fatigue and despair.
Unable to save his son, he fell into self-blame, guilt and regret.
He is the father of Steel Bone, a scientist of STAR Labs, who has been sitting behind Steel Bone to support his work. Behind every heroic act of Steel Bone, the damage and destruction to the body was repaired and strengthened by Rath Stone.
But not this time.
After half of his body was knocked off by Kryptonian Emperor, Steel Bone's body could still be stable.
But for some unknown reason, a few days ago, when the earth's satellites collectively failed and were unable to detect outer space, Steel Bone suddenly had a rejection reaction with the newly combined mechanical body. Mother Box had an abnormal reaction, and it was difficult to suppress it under the will of Steel Bone.
"Professor, Victor's body began to react abnormally, and the quantum of time and space began to distort abnormally. Victor cannot hold on any longer."
Rath Stone's assistant, Cai Ruian, hurriedly ran into Rath Stone's office and gave an urgent notification.
He closed Rath Stone's tired and deep sunken eyes, involuntarily raised his nervous heart, and Zoom ran to Steel Bone's laboratory with Cai Ruian.
When they arrived, Steel Bone was already howling in agony. Half of his humanoid face was twisted with dense veins, his eyes were painful, and the electronic eye in his left eye flashed a dangerous warning crazily.
Half of his upper body levitated, and invisible particles began to rotate around him.
This scene is familiar to all the researchers present.
When Justice League was established, Apokolips opened Boom Tube, and the precursor was like a tornado, rolling around the particle reaction.
"Start the stable space-time particle device." Sai Rath Stone quickly began to make arrangements nervously. "Distort the gravitational field and don't let it form a gravitational channel and collapse space."
"Victor, hold on, don't give up, don't let electronic information interfere with your thoughts, concentrate, imagine a point, imagine that it is yourself, Victor!! Victor!!"
Sai Rath Stone shouted loudly at his son, tears oozing out of his eyes unconsciously, he kept comforting Steel Bone, and kept arranging the researchers' next preventive work.
"Professor, the stable space-time particle device has overloaded and failed. It has exceeded the upper limit of the device."
"The gravitational field distortion failed, and the Mother Box molecules in Victor's body began to interfere with the gravitational field, and our device had no effect on it."
"Boom Tube is turning on!"
Many staff members and researchers could not help but flash into their minds the devastating scene of the Apokolips invasion a year ago.
There are swarms of insects Parademons everywhere, large Parademonss of various huge sizes, and Steppenwolf giant axes that can split the continent with one axe.
Now that Justice League has been defeated and Krypton has already invaded the earth, another alien force will invade.
Earth... can it still be saved?
Steel Bone half of his body floated up involuntarily, looking at his father with pain and regret, saying Rath Stone.
"Victor, hold on, hold on, you can do it, you can control it!" Sai Rath Stone's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, sore tears flowed out, and he yelled Victor, hold on, with all his strength.
If he could, he was willing to bear all this for his son.
"Father... dear..."
Victor's brain was full of information that was beyond his imagination. His thoughts were like strings, constantly being broken. He slowly called his father from his lips. He glanced at Rath Stone, as if he wanted to carve his father's image into his heart. The last string broke, his eyes rolled back, and his consciousness could not be controlled.
The tornado formed by the particle reaction around him became more intense, and the white tornado began to sweep up all the surrounding papers, small items, and white coats.
When Rath Stone saw this scene, he fell to the ground in despair and weakness, his eyes blurred to the point of almost fainting.
"Everyone get out of here!"
Cai Ruian quickly arranged for the staff to leave STAR Labs, sounded STAR Labs's danger warning, and notified everyone to leave the laboratory. He then came to Rath Stone's side.
No matter how he called, Rath Stone did not respond. He just kept crying and stared helplessly at Steel Bone surrounded by a white tornado.
"Professor, it is no longer safe here. We need to leave here. Victor's will is in Mother Box. There may be a chance to meet again in the future."
In desperation, Cai Ruian said words of comfort that he did not believe, and then he helped Rath Stone up, put him on his shoulders, pulled him up, and walked out of the research room.
'Boom--'
Boom Tube swirled with crazy particle vibrations, tearing the surrounding papers and instruments apart, and rolled it up crazily, surrounding the center, with a line of bang, opening a passage to Apokolips.
All the instruments flew to the wall, hit the wall heavily, and were embedded in it.
Steppenwolf's tall, thick horns stretched out, appeared at the eye of the wind, looking down, with a tough and wrinkled face grinning ferociously.
"Desaad, well done, notify my Parademons army!!"
"This planet that failed me, I, Steppenwolf, am back again, hahahaha!!!"
Steppenwolf jumped up and jumped down from Boom Tube, wearing a close-fitting metallic silver biological battle armor. The pieces of the battle armor were like waving scales, constantly moving. He stepped on the ground of STAR Labs and bent his knees slightly.
The big hand moved upward, and Earthbreaker Axe was displayed in his hand, and the bloody ax surface glowed with dark red light.
"Kryptonian, your end is coming!"
He raised his neck and looked around with a sneer on his lips. He saw the messy earth scene around him and thought of the failure a year ago.
I was actually pushed back into Boom Tube by a Krypton refugee and earth native, and forced to retreat. What a humiliation this was.
This time, Boom Tube was opened. He had modified it so that Kryptonian could realize how fragile it was. Various Kryptonians and Kryptons were added to Earthbreaker Axe. With one axe, Kryptonian had no other choice but to split in half and die.
"Huh?"
Steppenwolf looked through the building and saw a giant protective barrier of divine power and magic on the earth's space. Feeling the familiar divine power and magic, he couldn't help but feel doubts.
"Is this the planet where those weak gods sleep?"
