For Darkseid

"Beckett?!"

On the beach, Mera, who had just been rescued, stared blankly at the profile of the man in front of her, momentarily unable to believe it.

His original black hair and eyes had turned into blond hair and blue eyes. If it weren't for his face, she might not have recognized who he was.

"Didn't you... didn't you leave?"

That was something Mera witnessed firsthand during the earlier evacuation of the people; it cannot be faked.

"Walk?"

Upon hearing this, Beckett turned to the side and landed lightly on the ground.

"I guess so. I just suddenly remembered that I hadn't taken something."

Will Beckett say that he returned because he heard about the Mother Box?

Of course not.

He's not that stupid.

"Thing?"

"... Money, I need the currency of this world."

For a moment, Beckett didn't know how to answer, but he saw Woz's subtle hint on the right eye screen and blurted out.

"..." Mera's expression was quite interesting.

Beckett's reason was so utterly absurd.

Why would a descendant of a flying god need money for transportation?

But Beckett spoke in such a serious manner that Mera couldn't even utter a word.

"Careful!"

The longsword, thrown from his hand, struck the giant axe that Steppenwolf had hurled. Diana, emerging from the waves, reminded Beckett: This is not a good place to talk.

"Get out of the way."

To Diana's surprise, Beckett not only showed no appreciation, but also complained that she was in his way.

"Who are you?"

Shaking his head to dispel the dizziness of fainting, Steppenwolf took the giant axe that flew back into his hand and looked at Beckett with extremely solemn eyes.

To be frank, he sensed the man's power.

So he was very puzzled.

As a renowned military commander on Apokolips, he and the supreme being behind him have been watching Earth for a long time.

Before today, he had no idea that there was such a powerful being on Earth.

"My name? You're not worthy of it."

Beckett waved at Steppenwolf, his provocation obvious.

Since arriving in this universe, he hadn't had a proper fight yet, and the frustration of losing to Odin finally became unbearable after meeting his rival, Steppenwolf.

He needed to vent, to have a cathartic release.

The Steppenwolf's physique seemed to allow him to vent his anger to his heart's content.

"I hope your body is as tough as your mouth." The Steppenwolf, dragging his giant axe, attacked first. Sensing danger from Beckett, he went all out with a deadly strike!

The surging waves roared behind Steppenwolf, and the Flash in the dim sky lost its brilliance.

Beckett, seemingly stunned by this overwhelming power, stood motionless.

"Beckett!"

With a worried expression, Mera crossed her arms in front of her chest, preparing to guide the water flow to form a water barrier, but was interrupted by Bruce Wayne.

"Don't make a move, there's still you, Diana."

Bruce, supporting Barry Allen, stared intently at Beckett not far away, preventing Mera and Diana from making a move.

"Bruce, you—"

Diana's questioning voice abruptly stopped.

The axe blade, which they believed was powerful enough to cleave everything, shattered the instant it crossed with Beckett's right fist.

The Steppenwolf who came wielding the axe was suddenly left with only a bare axe handle in his hand.

Um?

After smashing Steppenwolf's giant axe with a single punch, Beckett showed no excitement on his face; instead, he frowned.

Steppenwolf's attack... why is it not quite what he expected?

Why do I feel... so weak?

In contrast to Beckett's confusion, Steppenwolf was somewhat incredulous.

Are you kidding me? The weapon that accompanied him on his conquests and slaughters across multiple worlds just shattered without warning?!

"Hey, is this all you've got?"

Beckett's disdain and contempt continued to fuel the burning rage within Steppenwolf.

"You bastard...!"

Snap!

Beckett firmly grasped the outstretched fist and then twisted it forcefully.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the massive body suddenly lost its balance. A tearing pain began to surge from the severed right arm, rapidly engulfing every nerve in the Steppenwolf's body!

[Impossible!]

This guy!

Who on earth is this guy?!

Why is it so strong?

Tear!

Blood splattered!

The Steppenwolf, gritting its teeth and trying to break free from Beckett's control, stared wide-eyed in pain.

A piercing pain nearly suffocated the Steppenwolf!

Unable to withstand the strain, the broken right arm was torn from Steppenwolf's body by Beckett's increasing force!

"Ah!!!!!"

The unbearable pain caused this demon, who had slaughtered many worlds, to collapse and howl in agony!

"Tsk."

Beckett tossed his arm aside in disgust and walked step by step to Steppenwolf, looking down at the Steppenwolf's contorted face.

Her golden hair moved without wind, and her emerald eyes were filled with coldness and ruthlessness.

He stretched out his right hand, placed his foot on Steppenwolf's chest, and said, "You're too weak."

"Go to hell."

Having lost interest, Beckett also lost the will to toy with Steppenwolf. He gathered an immense amount of energy in his palm and aimed it at Steppenwolf's head.

Boom!

Suddenly, a beam of energy stretched across the sky and earth, its dazzling light so intense that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes!

[Um?]

Beckett, who was at the very center of the pillar of light, felt a force far exceeding that of Odin rushing towards him.

With his arms crossed, the Saiyan, whose energy had instantly reached its limit, was directly expelled from the center of the pillar of light!

"Beckett!"

"Beckett, are you alright?!"

Mera, who was still astonished by Beckett's incredible strength, quickly came to her senses and ran to Beckett's side to help him up, but Beckett pushed her away with one hand.

"Get out of the way!"

With his palms crossed, without the slightest warning, a silvery-white energy beam erupted from Beckett's hands!

The silver beam of light that swept across the sea was like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, stirring up thousands of waves as it rushed straight toward the Steppenwolf that was enveloped by the teleportation array!

Boom!!!

The collision of two completely different energies caused the shockwaves to collapse all the buildings along the coastline!

Ruins stand everywhere, and dust flies everywhere!

Even Diana, a demigod, was overturned by the aftershocks of this energy!

"It's no use!"

Inside the teleportation array, the Steppenwolf, who had lost an arm, staggered to his feet, panting heavily.

"I will be back, Earthlings."

"For myself, for this planet..." Steppenwolf's gaze was fixed on Beckett was still continuously outputting energy.

"For Darkseid!"

Call out!

The teleportation array has disappeared!

The energy waves, having lost their target, crashed directly onto the turbulent sea surface!

In an instant, a monstrous wave arose!

Darkseid was mentioned by Steppenwolf at the end of Justice League, and according to online information, Darkseid appears in Zack Snyder's unreleased director's cut.

The actors who played Aquaman also said that the director's cut and the theatrical release are vastly different.

Ugh, what a terrible movie!
