Steppenwolf Beaten Down, Darkseid Appears

Steppenwolf panted heavily as he fell from the wall.

The moment Lin Feng appeared, Steppenwolf saw his Superman suit.

At first, he did not pay much attention to this newly appeared Kryptonian.

After all, he still had Clark, a powerful weapon, on his side.

Yet after the two of them left,

only Lin Feng returned.

This gave Steppenwolf a faint sense that something was wrong.

"Clark!"

Steppenwolf shouted.

"Clark! Where did you go?!"

After calling twice and seeing that Clark still had not appeared, Steppenwolf's expression turned ugly.

After hesitating for a moment, Steppenwolf pulled out a black box.

It was the magical artifact he used to control Clark.

It had come from a mysterious person working with his master, Darkseid.

The black box was completely undamaged.

The black aura swirling around it had not dissipated.

That meant he had not lost control of Clark.

Steppenwolf could not understand it.

Why had Clark not appeared...

Seeing Steppenwolf shouting and yelling there, Lin Feng slowly floated over.

The sight of the black Superman suit on Lin Feng made Steppenwolf's expression darken further.

"Another Kryptonian!"

Lin Feng folded his arms and snorted coldly.

"Stop yelling. Clark has already returned to normal."

"He is no longer under your control, Steppenwolf."

"That's impossible!" Steppenwolf looked at the box in his hand again. It was completely intact.

"Oh?" Lin Feng tilted his head and smiled. "You don't believe me?"

"Then why hasn't Clark shown up?"

Steppenwolf had no rebuttal. He himself knew that what this Kryptonian said was most likely true.

"Damned Kryptonians!" Steppenwolf cursed, his ugly face gloomy.

He thought of the human in black robes who had given him the black box.

"That human wearing black robes..."

"I knew he couldn't be trusted!"

Steppenwolf angrily threw the black box to the ground and stomped on it.

Now that he had lost control of Clark, what use was this thing?

Kara...

The box shattered, and a wisp of black smoke drifted away with the wind.

In an instant, a chilling wind swept through, as though something had been released.

Lin Feng looked at the crushed box, a glint flashing through his eyes as a few guesses formed in his mind.

Could this be the artifact the system mentioned that could control Clark?

Sure enough, Barry's voice came through the earpiece the next second.

"Hey, guys! Clark seems to be back to normal..."

For a moment, Lin Feng's expression became extremely colorful.

"Barry, it's Lin Feng!" Lin Feng called through the earpiece.

"Take the Kryptonite Handcuffs off him!"

"Take them off now? Shouldn't we confirm it first?"

Barry hesitated. He had seen the blackish-red glow vanish from Clark's eyes.

Even the green glow had returned to its normal color.

But he still did not quite dare to remove the handcuffs.

He was afraid Clark would punch him again once they came off.

Clearly, Barry had been traumatized by Clark.

Hearing Barry's hesitation, Lin Feng could not help wanting to laugh.

"Don't worry, Barry!"

"I've already confirmed it. The thing controlling Clark has been destroyed..."

Lin Feng's words were like a calming pill.

Barry instantly let out a breath of relief.

"Thank God... I'll take them off right away!"

Hearing Lin Feng's conversation with his teammates, Steppenwolf was confused at first, then suddenly realized what had happened.

He had been played!

Clark had only been temporarily restrained. He had not lost control of him.

And he had personally destroyed the black box that controlled Clark!

"You deserve to die!"

Steppenwolf angrily raised his axe and charged at Lin Feng.

"For Darkseid!" Steppenwolf roared.

The axe came chopping down.

Lin Feng was just about to dodge when he seemed to think of something.

He remained where he was and merely tilted his head aside.

He wanted to recreate the plot from the original movie.

He wondered whether that counted as helping the Worldline converge.

Bang!

Steppenwolf's battle axe struck Lin Feng's left shoulder.

Lin Feng only felt as though he had been hit by a baby wielding a wooden stick.

He was completely unhurt and did not even feel the slightest pain.

"That's all?"

Lin Feng sneered. Imitating the original movie, he tilted his head slightly and exhaled a breath of frost onto the battle axe.

The battle axe froze at a visible speed.

Bang!

Lin Feng shattered the battle axe into pieces with a single punch.

Steppenwolf looked at his hands in disbelief, then at Lin Feng.

In his panic, he was just about to throw a punch when Lin Feng suddenly lashed out with a kick and sent him flying far away.

After landing on the ground, Steppenwolf hammered the earth in fury.

He rose to his feet and charged at Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng was completely unafraid and flew straight at him.

Steppenwolf's attacks could not even break his defense.

Steppenwolf swung a claw at Lin Feng.

Yet in Lin Feng's eyes, it looked like slow motion, and he easily dodged it.

He followed up with a punch, sending Steppenwolf flying again—straight toward Diana.

Seeing Steppenwolf flying her way, Diana shouted.

Her two Guardian Silver Bracelets collided fiercely.

Buzz!!

A sharp ring sounded, and sound waves spread outward. Steppenwolf was blasted away again, falling toward Aquaman.

Seeing the opening, Aquaman unleashed a sweeping strike.

His trident smashed viciously into Steppenwolf's kidney.

Like a volleyball, Steppenwolf flew away again, returning in Lin Feng's direction.

The group batted him around like a volleyball, leaving him utterly helpless.

Facing Steppenwolf, Lin Feng threw a heavy punch that sent him straight into the sky.

Then he shot upward at high speed, overtook Steppenwolf in midair, and punched him back toward the ground.

Everything was unfolding exactly as it had in the original movie.

Before Steppenwolf could get up,

Lin Feng descended and threw another punch.

Then his eyes blazed red as he swept Steppenwolf with Heat Vision.

Steppenwolf howled in agony.

The armor on his body continuously disintegrated under the intense heat of the Heat Vision.

The scorching Heat Vision directly sliced off one of Steppenwolf's horns, making him scream again in pain.

With another punch, Steppenwolf was completely dazed and could not recover for a long while.

After dealing with Steppenwolf, Victor also connected to the Unity Force.

"Barry! I'm connected to the Unity Force!" he shouted.

"I need a massive current to get inside!" Victor's face twisted fiercely.

He could only connect to the Unity Force for a short time and needed Barry's help to enter the Mother Box.

"Right away!"

Barry, who had been running in circles outside, received the message.

Wrapped in blue-and-white lightning, he charged straight at Victor.

Clark flew behind him, covering his back.

"Barry, where are you?" As if he had not heard Barry's reply, Victor continued shouting.

The Mother Boxes were about to fuse together. Without electricity, he could not get in at all!

Barry kept sprinting with his head lowered, constantly encouraging himself.

Buzz!

Just as the Mother Boxes were about to fuse completely,

a round blue Portal appeared near the Mother Boxes with a rumbling sound.

Lin Feng, Diana, and Aquaman all stepped forward, watching the Portal warily.

But Lin Feng knew that Darkseid had probably arrived.

The Portal gradually took shape, revealing the scene within.

Sure enough, several monsters on the other side of the Portal turned around.

They were Darkseid and his two subordinates.

"Host, be careful! It's the Exile!" the system's voice suddenly rang out.

The system's words made Lin Feng's pupils contract.

He noticed someone standing beside Darkseid.

That person had not existed in the original movie, their entire body concealed beneath black robes.

Lin Feng could not see their face or tell whether they were male or female.

Lin Feng understood. This person was likely the Exile the system had mentioned.

Seeing Lin Feng looking over, the black robes seemed to notice his gaze.

Lin Feng used his X-ray vision, but he could not see through the black robes at all, causing his heart to sink.

The system had not exaggerated. His X-ray vision could not even see through the Exile's outer robes...

Inside the Portal, Darkseid expressionlessly watched the scene outside.

A Kryptonian, a woman with the power of the old gods, and an Atlantean wielding a trident.

It reminded him of that ancient war.

He waited for the Mother Boxes to fuse completely before stepping through the Portal.

Darkseid noticed Victor desperately trying to stop the Mother Boxes from fusing, but he remained perfectly calm.

He did not believe that Blue Star's civilization could stop the Mother Boxes from fusing.

Look, weren't they about to fail already?

Darkseid had spent countless ages searching for the Anti-Life Equation.

He did not mind waiting a little longer...

"Barry!" Cold sweat covered Victor's forehead as he called out again.

"There's almost no time! The fusion is about to be complete!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The next second, time seemed to freeze.

Everyone was almost completely motionless.

With a thought, Lin Feng remembered that he possessed super speed.

He instantly realized that Barry had entered.

He turned to look.

Sure enough, Barry came racing in from outside the nuclear power plant.

Above him, the restored Superman—Clark—escorted him, keeping him safe.

When Clark saw Lin Feng looking over, he met his gaze with a complicated look in his eyes.

Then he nodded in acknowledgment and continued following Barry.

In the original story, Barry had been struck by a Parademon, nearly causing Blue Star's destruction.

But with Superman protecting him, Barry did not make the same mistake again.

He successfully touched Victor and transmitted the electricity into him.

In an instant, Barry entered the Mother Box.

He was not deceived by the traps inside the Mother Box and forcibly pulled apart the human forms conjured by the three Mother Boxes.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

By the time everyone reacted, the Mother Boxes that had been on the verge of merging had split into three once more, returning to the state they had been in when they first began to merge.
