Du Mu sliced through the murky sky above Midway City and flew straight toward the city center.
There was no need for navigation. From far away, he could see a massive pillar of black clouds standing between heaven and earth, lightning flashing within it.
The airflow across the entire airspace was dragged into rotating in the same direction, while the pressure was so low it was hard to breathe.
Directly beneath the dark clouds, a strangely shaped device hovered in midair, its peripheral components repeatedly flipping at a fixed rhythm.
With every completed cycle, a visible pulse of energy traveled upward through the cloud pillar, shooting straight into the sky.
There was no need to guess. This had to be the signal transmitter Enchantress was using to summon Apokolips.

Du Mu did not slow down in the slightest.
The shoulder armor of the Ultron Armor flipped open in unison, revealing hexagonal honeycomb launch bays beneath.
