"Oh... yes... yes... come on... hiss... oh yes..."

The door, which was not yet fully closed, was pierced by a sound of friction. The passionate feast made Diana, who was passing by room 404, smile and shake her head, and casually closed the door for the three people in the room.

Before closing the door, she vaguely heard a dignified yet slightly teasing voice inside asking: Still being cheeky?

Then, the door closed.

The area around my ears became much quieter immediately.

The locals at this hotel are really kind and honest.

"We're here, this is Beckett's room." After leading Diana around two more corners, Mera, who had returned to her room and was now draped in a white veil, knocked on the door.

"Tap tap tap..."

After a long while, no one answered from inside the room.

"Beckett? Are you there? It's Mera."

"Baker—"

Mera's voice faltered as she knocked on the door. Behind the door, which opened silently, was Beckett's gaze that sent chills down her spine.

Although it was only for a moment, Mera definitely felt it.

"What's up?"

Beckett stared coldly at the two women in front of him.

They were basically still wearing the same clothes they had on the viewing balcony, except that Mera and Diana were now wearing a sheer veil.

"We need to talk, Beckett."

Diana's opening remarks relieved some of the pressure on Mera.

What should we talk about?

Beckett was somewhat puzzled.

He was certain that he and the woman in front of him, Diana, were complete strangers, so what was there to talk about?

"Regarding world peace."

Bang!

Beckett simply closed the door, leaving the two elegant ladies feeling utterly rejected.

"Beckett, listen to me, I'm not joking, I—"

"Ah ...

"What?"

Diana and Mera exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"Jie!!"

A monster with dragonfly-like wings roared as it burst through the window of room 404, continuing its search for food that had instilled fear.

When Mera and Diana rushed to the scene, room 404 was already littered with corpses.

The "big shot," dressed in a suit on the upper body but naked on the lower body, was unrecognizable. At his feet lay several naked female corpses.

A powerful figure who entered Kansas on a mission from above collapsed in his privately booked room 404, along with the beautiful socialites he had summoned using his power.

"They're here."

Diana quickly walked to the window and looked up. The monsters flying in the sky matched the monsters Bruce Wayne had described to her.

"What?"

"Who?"

"No time to explain, hurry up and catch up with Mera!"

"I'll try to hold off these monsters, you go and evacuate the people!"

Diana leaped into the air, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky above the beach!

"Ah!!!!"

A roar from a demigod erupted as Diana burst through the window, her arms crossed and her wrist guards clashing. An incredibly powerful energy suddenly burst forth from her body!

Boom!

A blue-purple Flash crashed down, and Diana's figure flew out from the Flash, her appearance completely changed!

The bikini, so fragile it could be easily unfastened, was now covered by a valiant suit of armor, and a golden rope now hung from her waist, which was originally bare.

The round shield and longsword on her back perfectly transformed Diana into a valiant warrior!

"Everyone, get out of here quickly! Hurry!"

Manipulating the water currents on the beach to crash against the monsters that relentlessly clung to their fear, the sharp-eyed Mera suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

Beckett has changed back into his loose-fitting black Battle Suit!

"Your His Highness Beckett, are we just leaving like this?"

"Ms. Mera is fighting now."

His figure disappeared into the panicked crowd, Beckett's eyes unwavering as he walked step by step into the distance. "Have you found the information I asked you to find?"

"I regret to His Highness Beckett, that Woz has not been able to find any specific information about that mysterious energy source."

Woz bowed in apology on the panel.

It is also very distressed.

Woz, who has access to almost all network data on Earth, can't find much information about energy sources.

Being able to find its name as "Mother Box" is already the limit.

Buzz!

The roar of the engine attracted the monsters' attention.

All eyes turned to Diana's back, where a silver sports car shot like an arrow, crashing down from the sky after rounding a drain, crushing two snarling monsters to death!

"Barry! Evacuate everyone!"

"Clear!"

The supercar's wings suddenly opened after Bruce Wayne's voice fell, and a dense barrage of specially made bullets blasted towards the swarm of monsters in the air!

Squeak!!!

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground filled the air as Bruce Wayne operated the modified flanking weapon system, which went wherever it went and bombarded everything in sight, perfectly embodying the meaning of ruthless extravagance.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the dim sky.

A giant axe seemed to travel through two time periods, instantly slicing Bruce Wayne's supercar in two!

"Tell me where the Mother Box is! Atlanteans!"

A tall and imposing figure emerged from the teleportation beams descending from the sky, its cruel gaze fixed on Mera's location.

Snap.

Beckett, who was in the distance, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the figure in armor wielding a giant axe on the beach.

"Woz?"

"Your His Highness Beckett, you heard me right."

Woz confirmed that Beckett was not experiencing auditory hallucinations.

"Who are you?!"

"How do you know about the Mother Box?!"

On the beach, Mera's expression changed drastically as she was being watched.

What a joke! The Mother Box is a treasure that the seven underwater kingdoms have guarded for generations.

"My name is Steppenwolf."

"And the Mother Box is what your ancestors took from me!"

A violent killing intent gathered, and the spinning giant axe directly overturned Diana, who was holding a longsword and trying to block him.

Steppenwolf appeared before Mera, a cruel smile on his face. Then, with a backhand slap, Barry Allen, who was moving at high speed, collapsed onto the beach, his mouth agape and eyes closed.

"Diana! Barry!"

Bruce Wayne, having pulled two folded energy weapons from the broken trunk, gritted his teeth and unleashed a barrage of energy bullets at Steppenwolf.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

"That annoying Kryptonian is dead, and no one can stop me now."

"Now, tell me, where is the current guardian of the Mother Box?"

The sharp giant axe returned to Steppenwolf's hands, and he placed the axe blade directly against Mera's neck, commanding her from above.

"How do you know I am the guardian of the Mother Box?"

Even though she could smell the scent of death, Mera remained unmoved.

The Mother Box is of utmost importance; she would never reveal it.

"This has nothing to do with you. You only have two choices now."

"Tell me the location of the Mother Box, or die."

Steppenwolf's axe blade advanced another three inches, its chilling gleam even slicing through Mera's fair skin, drawing out a few drops of crimson blood.

The Steppenwolf grinned maliciously, and suddenly,

A strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in my heart.

Before his body could react, the Steppenwolf wielding the giant axe was blasted away by a beam of energy!

"In fact, she had a third option."

A figure that should have already left descended from the sky, its not-so-broad shoulders blocking Mera's view.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, stirring up a cacophony of energy!
