Boom!
A dull, massive teleportation beam descended from the sky.
Standing atop radiation-tainted sand that covered the ground, Steppenwolf closed his eyes and let out a satisfied sigh.
"After all these years, I've finally been reborn!"
From being awakened by the Mother Box and coming to Earth, to fighting the human alliance on Earth.
After all that planning and scheming, he had finally gathered the Mother Boxes!
Three Mother Boxes were enough for him to open a Boom Tube and bring the great Darkseid and the Parademon army to Earth!
As he thought this, a light breeze swept past, rustling the leaves by the roadside. Steppenwolf slowly opened his eyes.
He was somewhat puzzled.
Whenever he returned or went somewhere in the past, Parademons would always be following at his side.
But today was different. He could not hear the familiar sound of Parademons beating their wings.
It was like living beside a school and hearing the class bell every morning.
When something you had grown accustomed to suddenly disappeared, no matter what it was, you would feel a little lost and unsettled.
His dark golden eyes swept over the surroundings. Then Steppenwolf's jaw dropped as though it had been pried open with a crowbar.
His expression went blank, his gaze unfocused.
This proud warrior of Apokolips could hardly believe his eyes.
Everywhere he looked, the metal skyscrapers transformed by the Mother Boxes had been torn apart and collapsed as though a tornado had swept through them.
The corpses of various Parademons littered every corner.
Some had been severed by unknown Heat Vision, others blown into green slime, while still more were smeared across abandoned buildings like paint.
"This..."
Steppenwolf stared at it all in horror. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no words came
