Chapter 413 / Chapter 414

Steppenwolf originally thought that as long as he searched as many hidden places on Earth as possible, he would surely be able to discover the third elusive entity. However, it now seems that his group of useless subordinates are simply good for nothing and have yet to find anything!

"How exactly do I open this thing?"

At the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance, a Legion staff members stared at the smooth cube in front of them, bewildered.

The Human Mother Box, which was firmly encased in metal, had an additional protective layer of rigid structure on the outside, but this protective layer had now been completely dismantled and discarded.

But when faced with this smooth metal cube, everyone was at a loss for what to do.

To destroy it by force?

That's absolutely impossible; the Justice League's previous research has already confirmed its indestructibility.

In the short term, the Utopia Alliance headquarters was also unable to come up with a particularly effective way to clean up the tightly sealed metal outer shell.

"How did the Justice League retrieve the Mother Box during their previous research?"

Emma Frost frowned and spoke to Nick Fury beside her, Nick Fury was frantically flipping through materials related to Japan.

"According to the records, they don't even need to open the box; they only need to apply a weak current to get some feedback, and that's exactly the kind of feedback they're researching..."

Nick Fury spoke as he looked up the information.

"But it seems this weak current isn't enough to activate its signal; otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago, just like the other two boxes."

But then Nick Fury sighed and said...

"A weak current... Current? Perhaps it's simply because the power isn't high enough."

Emma Frost frowned, then subconsciously put her finger in her mouth.

People often bite their nails while thinking subconsciously, and Emma Frost is no exception. However, Emma Frost herself is unaware that she has been doing this unconsciously.

"Bring me the Arc Reactor! I refuse to believe that the Arc Reactor's power can't activate its signal!"

After pondering deeply, Emma Frost suddenly spoke up and gave a loud command!

The Arc Reactor, a technological product from Iron Man, can provide more electrical energy than anyone could imagine.

Even now, the entire power supply for the Utopia Alliance headquarters is provided solely by a single Arc Reactor.

In Universe 1, Iron Man made countless improvements to his Arc Reactor.

Its power output has long surpassed that of the Arc Reactor that was once present on our own planet.

This power even surpasses that of the Utopia Alliance, a new energy source designed based on the former Arc Reactor.

Based on the principle that anyone who doesn't use them is a fool, the Utopia Alliance naturally took all the Arc Reactor that Iron Man owned on Earth 1 without any hesitation.

The reaction unit currently used at headquarters has been operating continuously for several years, and according to calculations, it can support the headquarters, and even the city where the headquarters is located, for decades without any problems.

The effect is truly powerful!

Soon a brand-new Arc Reactor was delivered to headquarters, but this time it was not placed in the command room along with the Human Mother Box; instead, it was taken to another weapons testing ground.

According to Emma Frost, Arc Reactor needs to be powered at full capacity for an instant, all of which needs to be fed into the Human Mother Box. No one can be sure what kind of damage would occur under such a terrifying bombardment of electrical energy.

Two thick connectors were instantly attached to the smooth metal surface, and at the other end of this connector was a small, palm-sized Arc Reactor.

The seemingly tranquil blue light concealed a torrent of electricity, enough to power a city for decades!

Without any further instructions or commands, the staff immediately activated the Arc Reactor once everything was connected!

A surge of powerful electrical energy erupted instantly, swirling around the smooth metal object and even bursting outwards in layers of blue electric arcs!

The Steppenwolf on the battlefield suddenly raised its head!

"I felt it!"

Steppenwolf's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an undisguised, overwhelming joy!

Actually, it wasn't just him who felt it.

Everyone at the Utopia Alliance headquarters... felt it!

Chapter 413

The Mother Box has its own activation method.

Just as nuclear weapons have their own special co-throw switches, this type of Mother Box, which can almost instantly destroy a planet, also has its own control method.

The control of the Mother Box is in the hands of Steppenwolf and his Special Legion.

During the First Age, Steppenwolf led his Legion and activated three Mother Box during the battle. Fortunately, the activation was short-lived, and although it caused some damage to Earth, it did not completely destroy it.

However, unlike nuclear weapons, even without a method to activate the Mother Box, it is possible to close or open the Mother Box using extremely violent means.

During the battle, Steppenwolf retreated in panic, leaving all three Mother Box on Earth. The Mother Box, which had been in a connected and active state, were forcibly severed by Zeus, a god on Earth at that time, using his lightning to stop their destruction of the Earth.

Now, it seems as if history is repeating itself. Although there is no terrifying power of Zeus's thunder, the powerful electrical energy from the Arc Reactor activated one of the three Mother Box, the Human Mother Box, in an instant.

In that instant, an invisible sensation spread throughout the Utopia headquarters, and everyone felt their hair stand on end, as if there was a static electricity effect.

The feeling came and went quickly, but afterwards, that strange feeling lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time.

This feeling didn't even need to be told by others; everyone understood it in an instant.

The strange, perfectly square box was opened.

It wasn't just the members of the Utopia Alliance headquarters who sensed the opening of the Mother Box; in another part of the same continent, Steppenwolf also raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief and ecstasy.

"The Mother Box, the Mother Box is calling me!!!"

Steppenwolf raised his hands, as if in response to a call.

The signal generated by this instantaneous burst is far stronger than the weak signals produced by the other two Mother Box.

If the other two Mother Box that Steppenwolf when he first arrived on Earth were merely like a beacon in the darkness...

The activation of this last Mother Box is like the Sun suddenly appearing after the darkness.

It was incredibly obvious, and incredibly dazzling!

"The last Mother Box been activated!"

Steppenwolf's tone was brimming with barely suppressed ecstasy.

The last Mother Box has not only been discovered, but has also been activated. This means that he only needs to take the remaining two to the site to easily connect the three Mother Box.

How could such a wonderful thing suddenly fall into his lap?

Feeling the Mother Box activated, the excited Steppenwolf even subconsciously ignored other potential problems.

For example, why would Mother Box that had been inactive suddenly become active?

And who exactly activated it?

"Full speed ahead to the location of the last Mother Box! This time, Earth will finally belong to us!"

Steppenwolf brandished his great axe and spoke impatiently!

The Special Legion that had been fighting alongside the Third Legion retreated without hesitation after hearing Steppenwolf's order; more accurately, they flew towards the location of the last Mother Box!

Throughout this process, no matter how fierce the Third Legion's attacks were or how severe the damage they themselves suffered, they remained steadfast in their advance towards that destination!

As for the huge flying object in the sky, it also changed its direction, and a bluish-green pulse flame appeared behind it, and it began to accelerate continuously!

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

However, the retreating Steppenwolf still faced relentless obstruction from the Legion the Third Legion!

Still unaware of what had transpired within the Utopia Alliance, the Third Legion Legion felt no better upon seeing the first man before him about to retreat.

The enemy in front of them left with an excited expression; this was definitely not a sign of defeat or retreat from Earth.

If there's anything that could make them leave with such excitement, it's probably that they've achieved their goal and completed their mission.

But damn it, weren't they fighting themselves the whole time? How can they have the energy to achieve their own goals?

The Legion commander's doubts grew, but his bad premonition also intensified.

But then a radio wave rang out, and even his earphones rang in his ears.

"Third Legion, cease pursuit and quickly increase the distance between yourselves and the Special Forces! Proceed immediately to the Utopia Alliance Headquarters!"

A strong, resonant female voice spoke through the earpiece.

"Lady Emma Frost, this group of insects seems to be retreating. Have they completed their plan? Wait, they seem to be heading straight for you!"

The Legion commander quickly covered his earpiece and reported.

During this process, as he watched the special forces leave, the Legion commander was suddenly startled.

If I'm not mistaken, the direction they left in was precisely the direction of the Utopia Alliance headquarters!

"That's right, this Legion is currently heading towards the Utopia Alliance headquarters. The First Legion is already on standby near the headquarters. Now, we're sending the Third Legion back at top speed to join the First Legion in forming a defensive network!"

Emma Frost, on the other end of the communication device, gave the same serious command.

"This time, we must not only completely annihilate this Legion, but we must also ensure that not a single damned insect escapes!"

Emma Frost's words, which seemed like an undeniable truth, were followed by an explanation from the Legion commander.

"Lady Emma Frost, this is really too risky."

The Legion commander shook his head helplessly, but his hands did not stop moving at all. He quickly made a few hand gestures, and the remaining Third Legion began to quickly converge and enter the troop transport ships that had once carried them.

In just a few words, the Legion commander understood Emma Frost's meaning. Emma Frost had somehow lured the Special Legion to use the entire Utopia Alliance headquarters as bait to completely wipe out this damned Legion!

Doing it this way is too risky.

But the rewards are equally enormous!

Chapter 414

"The Third Legion has begun its withdrawal. How are our weapons preparations going?"

Emma Frost put down the microphone, seemingly unconcerned about the impending great danger, and turned to ask.

"Both energy cannons are ready simultaneously. The two cannons, one taken from the Batplane and the other from the Anti-Galactus Armor, have been fixed at the Utopia Alliance headquarters. Although they cannot be moved, this ensures maximum firepower!"

Another group of staff members hurriedly reported.

The two Cosmic Energy cannons, which had been sitting in the warehouse gathering dust for ages, were finally going to be put to use again!

Although these two cannons suffered heavy damage in past battles, they are gradually being repaired over time.

Although the Utopia Alliance headquarters cannot effectively collect Cosmic Energy, nor can it directly demand Cosmic Energy from Su Chen.

However, this does not mean they cannot use these two cannons.

If the quality isn't good enough, then make up for it with quantity!

If all else fails, abandon their size advantage, abandon their ability to move and fly, and fix them completely in place, using an ever-expanding volume to contain that energy with lower mass!

They can abandon Cosmic Energy and not use it, as they cannot collect this highly efficient energy. However, they possess the inexhaustible Ark Energy Furnace!

At this time, the two cannons had been placed at the main entrance of the Utopia Alliance headquarters, and the cannons were densely covered with brand-new Arc Reactor.

The densely packed pattern would surely make someone with trypophobia faint at first glance.

Energy was already gathering inside the firing chambers of these two cannons, preparing to charge them up even before the enemy arrived.

This time, they were used as disposable items, and their target was not Steppenwolf, but that huge flying machine!

"Before they release their Legion, let's give them a proper greeting!"

These are Emma Frost's words.

The entire Utopia Alliance headquarters, apart from the two cannons, was also in constant operation at this time.

The original combat command center was quickly dismantled, and all combat data, as well as personnel with limited combat capabilities, were being continuously transferred to the Helicarrier.

While it's impossible to mount a very powerful combat force on Helicarrier, it's sufficient as a mobile, flying Helicarrier.

Meanwhile, the combat-capable members of the Utopia Alliance have gradually arrived at their designated positions, ready for battle.

They are similar to the Third Legion, but they are not subordinate to the Third Legion; instead, they are directly subordinate to the Utopia Alliance!

However, although they were prepared for battle this time, it does not mean that they were the main force in the fight!
