Chapter 263
There were quite a few small teams like the underwater team. They each went to their designated locations, but in the end, only one team found this particular box. The remaining teams reached their designated locations and, after a thorough search, did not achieve the results they were looking for.
They were still searching relentlessly, over and over again, as if their orders were that they shouldn't come back if they couldn't find anything.
These Parademons, who were given a death sentence, either truly died from exhaustion in the places they were supposed to search, or their unusual behavior eventually attracted the attention of others, and the entire squad was wiped out in the area.
However, another small team, like the underwater team, was also hovering above the sea surface. However, they did not go to the seabed. Instead, they cautiously sensed the presence of something and then rushed towards an empty sea surface!
This stretch of land doesn't look very calm; the faintly visible reefs indicate that this is not a very safe area of water.
In addition, the persistent fog at sea makes this place a death zone marked on all nautical charts.
Unfortunately, this place enjoys abundant sunshine year-round and is free from strong winds and torrential rains; otherwise, it would be a place comparable to the Bermuda Triangle.
After all, this place shares a similar characteristic with the Bermuda Triangle: very few ships that enter it ever return...
However, the Parademons flying in the sky did not stop their advance because of the obstacles on the sea surface. On the contrary, they seemed to become more and more excited as they got closer to this place, and finally rushed towards this area of the sea.
After they passed some rocks, the fog in front of them suddenly thickened, and when the thick fog dissipated, a small island that was completely invisible from the outside appeared in the middle of the sea.
The Amazons's Themyscira is hidden here.
However, the Parademons had just rushed to this island suddenly silenced themselves after entering the island. Even the sound of their ever-present wings flapping became much weaker, and they could hardly be heard at all.
Because the island is not deserted at all; on the contrary, it is bustling with activity.
Amidst the lush greenery covering the mountains, there lies a cluster of buildings that seems to blend seamlessly into its surroundings.
The Utopia flag was prominently displayed there, and laughter could be heard emanating from the building.
Although Themyscira is very secluded, it is not, after all, thousands of meters underwater.
Their deception and the extremely harsh terrain could only deter ordinary people from visiting; during World War II, some fanatics even flew planes into their islands.
This kind of karmic connection clearly cannot stop the Sentinels from visiting. While the first wave of armed forces was clearing out Earth, the Sentinels had already invaded this island.
Similarly, because the Amazons themselves represent the forces led by Wonder Woman, when Su Chen and the superheroes clash fiercely, the Amazons are destined to be unable to coexist harmoniously with the Utopia Alliance.
Those that cannot coexist harmoniously with the Utopia Alliance will ultimately disappear completely. However, the unique terrain of Themyscira was preserved, and they carried out quite protective development on it, turning it into a huge sanatorium.
Those who have been injured or have reached working age can come here to rest. The secluded environment and unique scenery make it a top-notch sanatorium.
It must be said that the Amazons really know how to pick a location; they chose Themyscira, a place of unparalleled survival, which is indeed a top-tier place for living.
When this Parademons entered the Themyscira Sanatorium, they lowered their voices as much as possible, trying not to make any noise, and then quietly moved in another direction on the island.
On the other side of the island, some hills are faintly visible, and traces of human intervention can be seen among them. Clearly, the Amazons once seemed to have prepared something here. However, judging from the surrounding rocks now overgrown with weeds, the Utopia Alliance's development of Themyscira is not yet complete, at least not to this extent...
The Parademons squad surveyed their surroundings and finally locked onto an unusually smooth, thick stone wall. Without hesitation, they took out their alien energy guns and fired several shots at the smooth stone wall!
With a deafening roar, the sanatorium in the distance fell silent, followed by the sound of an alarm!
A place where members of the Utopia Alliance can rest in peace must also have formidable armed forces; otherwise, it would be impossible to provide absolute reassurance. Beautiful scenery alone is far from sufficient.
The loud noise and the booming sound that were clearly from weapons immediately caught the attention of the guards!
However, the Parademons couldn't care less about that now. After the huge stone wall was blasted open, the cavity inside was revealed.
The Parademons, no longer bothering to conceal their movements, flapped their repulsive wings again and rushed in!
Behind this top 10 site, there seems to be a hidden world. At the end of this passage, there is a huge stone hammer, and on this stone pillar, there is a square box that looks somewhat similar to the Atlantis Clan!
If there's any difference, it might just be the color of their outer packaging. The Amazons boxes seem to be bright red, as if they were born from fresh blood, making them appear more fierce and menacing.
But the Parademons paid no attention to any of this. On the contrary, when they saw the bright red box, that look of ecstasy returned to their faces, and they went over without hesitation and grabbed the box tightly!
With a deafening roar, a terrifying Boom Tube appeared beside them, and the Parademons flew into it without hesitation!
Chapter 406
"What was that thing that just broke in?"
"I don't know, they look like some kind of insects with huge wings!"
"Damn it, aren't those the weird monsters you're talking about, the ones we're fighting right now on the battlefield?"
When the security forces of Liangyuan Garden rushed here, all that was left was an empty passageway and stones outside that were still emitting blue smoke, leaving the guards who had just arrived looking at each other in bewilderment.
No one knew what had happened, but amidst the chatter of others, the person in charge of the guard suddenly became serious.
From their cacophony of conversation, some information could be pieced together: the monsters that appeared on Earth had somehow ended up at this sanatorium.
They seemed to have come for something, and the passage behind them seemed to indirectly prove that the monsters had taken something from here.
But they had no idea what they had taken, or what exactly it was.
12. At this critical juncture, when the fighting is still raging on the battlefield, they come here merely to steal things. Just how important must these things be?
"Immediately inform the Alliance headquarters that they may have taken some kind of secret weapon that has been stored on Earth, which could pose a significant threat to the military!"
The sanatorium director straightened his face and then loudly gave the order.
Although this is just a guess, the scenario that has been realized seems to leave no other choice than this guess.
Regardless, it's best to inform headquarters as soon as possible so they can take preventative measures!
The two Parademons squads, along with their boxes, had already been teleported back to one of their massive spaceships!
This ship has a very distinct Steppenwolf style, just like the axe in his hand. In the gaps of this spaceship, one can vaguely see the flow of huge lava, as if their energy source is lava.
There was a huge crack in the belly of this spaceship, which was opening and a continuous Parademons were pouring out from this crack, making it look like a huge deck.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on this deck, and then the two small teams and the boxes they were carrying appeared together on this huge deck.
In front of these two small teams, a group of mysterious-looking people dressed in Cloak were already prepared.
The two small teams handed the boxes they were carrying to the group of mysterious people and immediately threw themselves into the battle without hesitation. They were combat weapons themselves, and doing this kind of collection work was actually their side job.
These boxes were held respectfully by this group of mysterious people, who were simultaneously chanting an ancient and mysterious incantation, as if they were calling out to something.
As the chanting grew louder, the two boxes in their hands began to tremble slightly.
Cracks began to appear on the two different colored metal shells on the box, emanating a beautiful yet strange and peculiar color.
As the chanting grew louder, more and more cracks appeared on the metal shells. Eventually, the two metal shells completed their mission, turning into a pile of rubble and sliding off the two cubes.
The two cubes finally revealed their true nature!
The surface was so smooth that there was hardly a ripple, but as the recitation began, square ripples suddenly appeared on it.
The Mother Box, the most terrifying and powerful weapon possessed by the Parademons Legion, is gradually unleashing its original power.
That Power of Unity unique to Darkseid, once fully unleashed, will completely drain the entire planet, destroying all life on it—not by killing them, but by assimilating them into the Parademons Legion.
The enemy was annihilated, yet the number of its own Legion increased—this was the most terrifying reason for the entire empire.
It seems that the birth of this box and the Anti-Life Equation, and so on, are connected in some unclear way, but these can no longer be verified. The only certainty is that there are three of these boxes, and when the three are combined and release their full power, it signifies the destruction of this planet.
Steppenwolf's small teams were sent out to search for the Mother Box, but even with their best efforts, they could only find two of the three and bring them back. They were still unable to find the third one.
It must be said that this was a regret for them, but the two Mother Box they brought back, under this strange chanting, began to gradually exude their original power!
As strange and eerie fluctuations appeared directly beneath the spaceship, the Earth's surface began to bulge slightly, and at the same time, something resembling viscous liquid or gushing black foam began to spread rapidly!
Amidst these black bubbles, a faint purple light flickered. Upon appearing, it immediately solidified, eventually spreading like a highly corrosive substance across the entire battlefield!
Fortunately, although it spread rapidly, the Third Legion reacted quickly and avoided all areas of corrosion. However, this huge change made them forget to attack for a moment, and they looked at this special substance that had appeared on the entire battlefield with some surprise!
Facing the astonished members of the Third Legion, Steppenwolf revealed a fanatical smile and raised his axe high.
"Foolish Earthlings, your end has finally come! The Power of Unity gathered behind the scenes will erupt once more, utterly engulfing your planet. And I have completed my mission from thousands of years ago; I will become the New Gods!"
As if he were doing something exceptionally great, Steppenwolf raised his axe high and announced in an unusually solemn tone.
With the sudden spread of black matter around them, it actually gave the impression that the planet was about to be destroyed...
Chapter 407
The black substance started at the battlefield in the sky and spread rapidly outwards.
These black substances initially formed rapidly like bubbles, then gushed out from underground. However, after only two or three seconds of contact with the air, these black bubbles quickly solidified into a solid, limestone-like object.
As these black bubbles quickly solidified, it became apparent that all the vegetation on the surrounding ground, centered on these black bubbles, rapidly withered and turned a yellowish-brown.
It was as if these black bubbles did not appear out of thin air, but rather condensed by absorbing the life force of all living things around them; it was also as if they were a highly toxic substance, corroding everything living around them.
Immediately afterward, purple crystals spread out from these solidified black bubbles, shimmering with an alluring color—a substance never before seen on Earth.
As the black foam continued to spread and surge across the entire battlefield, it finally stopped spreading after enveloping the entire area.
The area surrounding this battlefield was originally a relatively flat grassland, but as the battle progressed, the grassland became a mess, although some green plants could still be seen surviving.
But now that the black foam has stopped spreading, slowly the battlefield is devoid of any green; all the green plants, whether still alive or not, have withered away.
It wasn't just these plants; members of the Third Legion also sensed that, with the appearance of the black foam, their physical strength seemed to be slowly declining, as if they too were affected by this black substance.
The Legion commander felt this most clearly. After all, once his body was injured, his abilities would increase exponentially. Now, even without enemy attacks, the Legion commander could feel his combat power constantly increasing.
From one perspective, it's a good thing; but from another, it's not so good.
"The great Power of Unity...` ..."
As Steppenwolf sensed this corrosive energy field, he raised his hands and spoke with a hint of ecstasy.
This corrosive energy field seems to only affect living beings, including the Third Legion, but has no side effects on the Special Legion and the Steppenwolf themselves.
Not only are there no side effects, but judging from their current expressions and the energy they are constantly releasing, it seems that their power is still increasing!
After all, it is the Power of Unity they praise, and after all, it is not the unifying force of the Earth.
This force interferes with the Earth itself and with life on it, but it does not hinder Steppenwolf and his Special Legion.
This power of looking down is gradually corroding and assimilating itself within its reach into the decaying power of Steppenwolf's homeland.
In other words, these places that have been looked down upon no longer belong to Earth, but are gradually becoming familiar places for Steppenwolf.
Behind Steppenwolf, the two boxes that had just been found by the special forces were emitting a dazzling light.
"Now you're finished, not just you, your entire planet is finished!"
Seeing the slightly surprised look in the Third Legion's eyes, Steppenwolf laughed loudly, making no attempt to hide the smugness in his tone.
Once the three boxes are brought together, they will unleash the unified power they have always longed to see.
This force can easily spread across the entire surface of a planet and completely corrode it.
Apart from the Steppenwolf and the Special Legion, no other life will survive. Even those that do survive will be assimilated and transformed into new special forces.
The Steppenwolf had been delaying the war for so long precisely to wait for this moment.
However, before his triumphant laughter could even subside, the assimilation process gradually slowed down and eventually stopped, extending only beyond the battlefield and then ceasing to spread in a small area.
Seeing this, Steppenwolf's smile faded with some confusion.
Then, he suddenly turned to look at the two boxes on his spaceship that were still flashing with light, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Damn it, why? Why are there only two?"
Steppenwolf spoke in a low voice, sounding somewhat incredulous.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the special agent who hadn't even reacted yet and tore him in half!
"You bunch of useless trash! I told you to find three. Only by finding three Mother Box can we complete our unified plan!!!"
After tearing apart the poor special agent next to him, Steppenwolf was still not satisfied. He waved the fragments of the special agent in his hand and roared loudly.
Such a roar may be half due to anger, and the other half may simply be due to shame.
Feeling the surge of power, Steppenwolf was overjoyed, thinking it was one of his minions who had found the three boxes and was now unleashing their full power.
The arrogant Steppenwolf didn't even turn around to see what was going on before he brazenly began to intimidate the Legion of the Third Legion in front of him.
As it turned out, he had boasted too much, and when he looked back, only two out of three boxes had arrived...
This left Steppenwolf both ashamed and furious!
"Hurry up and find that last Mother Box! You bunch of worthless trash who only deserve to eat shit!!"
