Chapter 415 / Chapter 416
Even the Third Legion, which is advancing towards this direction without stopping, is not the main force in the battle!
The dense black dots, like Chiaotzu being dropped from the sky, are rapidly converging on the ground; these are the main force of the battle!
After completing their mission, the First Legion's Sentinels Legion can accelerate its departure from the asteroid and return to Earth as quickly as possible!
Based on their top speed, they could easily establish a foothold around the Utopia Alliance and prepare for attack before the Steppenwolf and their Legion even reach it!
Meanwhile, on the asteroid, the battered and bruised Fourth Legion was reorganizing its members.
Although they looked disheveled, and some members had injuries that were not yet healed, they appeared to be full of energy and spirit.
After all, they didn't fail this time.
Just before the Sentinels left, all seven squads of the Fourth Legion had gathered together, mimicking their squad leaders, and began cooperating and launching attacks against each other!
If the previous seven teams cooperated with each other as small teams, now they have been completely broken up and are cooperating as individuals!
Each team consists of 7 people, and any extra members will work together to fill in the gaps!
They mimicked the team leaders' coordinated movements, and their brilliance began to shine through them!
···Requesting 0 flowers ·····
Perhaps they won't be able to achieve a slight fusion like the squad leaders did on their first collaboration, but as time goes by, they will surely master this technique!
This tacit understanding was forcibly forged under the immense shame of impending defeat and the urgency of life-threatening danger!
It was under these circumstances that the Fourth Legion began to truly integrate the seven small teams, finally transforming them from separate, isolated entities into a unified whole!
However, the seven squad leaders who were the first to complete the combined attack were now discussing other matters while launching their attack.
"These guys have really got a good plan, controlling the First to use against us!"
0...
One of the squad leaders spoke through gritted teeth.
"Unfortunately, no matter how much they schemed, they couldn't have imagined that there would be an existence like Supreme Being."
The other squad leader, however, spoke with a tone full of schadenfreude.
Although they were still fighting, the atmosphere of a quick kill that had been building earlier was gradually dissipating.
The Fourth Legion, working in conjunction with the First Legion, is gaining the upper hand at a visible speed.
Now, what they need to do is no longer resist the First, nor will it be to kill the First.
When they discovered a tiny controller on the First's neck, the ultimate goal of the entire battle finally became clear.
Destroy the controller!
This is more troublesome and more difficult to execute than simply killing someone.
However, the Fourth Legion, which has gradually begun to develop a tacit understanding and cooperate with each other, is using its collective advantage to gradually swallow up this troublesome situation!
With Amazo's relentless attack and the increasing amount of white Power of Creation around him!
Taking advantage of a slight opening in the First's defenses, the seven squad leaders rushed to him at top speed!
"Imprisonment!"
"Destroy!"
Six squad leaders sacrificed their own lives to create an excellent opportunity for the remaining squad leader to attack! V.
Chapter 415
A flash of red light appeared, and the control device that was faintly visible on the neck of the First suddenly emitted a crisp cracking sound!
Speed is crucial!
The attack must be ruthless!
This was a consensus reached by the seven squad leaders before the attack even began.
The controller looks tiny, but no one knows how sturdy it is.
However, considering that the controller could still last for so long despite Amazo's reckless fighting style and the overwhelming Power of Creation, it is probably not a fragile item.
Furthermore, the squad leaders couldn't guarantee that if this controller didn't break down in the short term, it wouldn't cause the First to do something irreversible.
In that case, we must launch the strongest attack in the shortest possible time to destroy this controller!
If the First is accidentally damaged during this destruction process, there's nothing that can be done about it.
After all, the First had completely severed ties with the Seven Lantern Corps after leaving the seven Legion.
The only reason he was willing to release the First from control was because he, like the Guardians, was a founder of the Seven Lantern Corps.
If the First can be eliminated without injury, everyone will be happy. However, if it is accidentally injured, especially the most vulnerable part of the neck, then the seven squad leaders will simply choose to mourn.
After all, it's better for the First to die than for any member of their Legion to die...
This task was naturally assigned to the most powerful squad leader, the one with the red Emotional Spectrum!
As the remaining squad leaders subdued the First, a flash of red light appeared!
The incredibly sturdy controller instantly shattered into pieces, detaching from the First's unscathed neck!
At this moment, the First finally broke free from the restraints of the other six squad leaders and forcefully pushed them away.
However, the First did not launch any attack afterward; it simply stood frozen in place.
"Everyone, cease your attack!"
The squad leaders quickly issued orders!
The First stopped its attack, which is a good sign.
Although they weren't sure what the First would do after the controller was removed.
They weren't sure if forcibly removing the controller like this would cause any other side effects.
The First, however, stood there motionless for a long time.
Then he suddenly raised his head, his equally transparent eyes scanning the surrounding Fourth Legion.
His expression gradually cleared from confusion, though some complex emotions flickered in his eyes.
It seems that the First did not have no memory of the process of being controlled.
After surveying the Fourth Legion, the First glanced at the Sentinels and Amazo, who had also ceased their attack.
Finally, his gaze settled on the several squad leaders sitting next to him, who looked disheveled.
Although the squad leaders have begun to gradually take control of the Power of Creation generated by their cooperation, they are still recovering from the exhaustion of the previous pursuit and their injuries, so they don't look much better now.
You did a great job.
An ancient language, similar to that of the Guardians but different from the current common language, was spoken by the First.
These ancient languages are not necessarily understood even by anyone in the Fourth Legion; perhaps only the few squad leaders in front of us can roughly guess their meaning.
"You have new warriors, which will allow you to better protect this universe."
As he spoke these words, one could see the transparent patterns within the First's body beginning to merge little by little.
This speed is many times faster than when it was controlled by the controller.
Perhaps the controller not only controls what is produced but also suppresses a certain part of the body's capabilities, so that complete control can be achieved.
Once all the patterns within his body had healed and returned to their original state, the First never spoke again, nor did he exchange any words with the squad leaders. Instead, he transformed into a streak of light and departed from the asteroid.
"Perhaps the First will no longer stay in this universe."
The sixth squad, representing pity, began to speak with a sigh.
The squad leaders didn't know much about what the First had just said, but they could understand what he meant.
Their abilities were recognized by the person before them, a former user and founder of Emotional Spectrum.
Now the founder is off to continue his own mission.
At that moment, one of the squad leaders suddenly pressed his earpiece.
He was the squad leader of the 4th squad and also the Legion commander of this Legion.
Although the title of the Legion Commander does not have much value in the Fourth Legion, it is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary squad leader. Ultimately, the decision still needs to be made jointly by the seven squad leaders.
"What? Oh, okay, okay, I understand."
The Legion commander nodded, then looked at his teammates.
Behind them, the First Legion's Sentinels and Amazo had begun to move, their lives gradually unfolding. Pale blue flames propelled them away from the asteroid, pushing them towards Earth.
"Things on Earth aren't over yet, but Lady Emma Frost's idea is for us to continue our presence on this asteroid, to work together effectively, and not to forget the understanding we had just established."
As the squad leader spoke, he glanced at the other Legion members, who were equally disheveled, and sighed before speaking.
Although they have worked through some initial difficulties and have begun to truly integrate their intentions, this is only the beginning.
They paid a heavy price for this tacit understanding and integration; at least now, the entire Legion's combat effectiveness has been significantly reduced.
It's clear that they are no longer fit for a prolonged battle.
Meanwhile, the First Legion, responsible for providing support, has begun to return to Earth to regroup!
After assisting the Third Legion, they went on to help the Fourth Legion, and now the affairs of these two Legion are essentially settled, facing what can be called the final battle.
The final battle will take place at the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance!
These First Legion, which suffered almost no losses in combat strength, could not possibly be the strongest Legion in the Utopia Alliance. Even after traversing such a long distance, their combat strength remained virtually unchanged from the beginning, with almost no losses whatsoever.
Chapter 416
"The First Legion has returned in full force, with casualties 15% lower than expected, ensuring effective combat capability."
The Sentinels returned at roughly the same speed as they headed to the asteroid battlefield.
When they arrived, the statistician in charge of the First Legion was reporting to Emma Frost.
The Fourth Legion's well-developed teamwork, their rapid reaction time in battle, and the fact that the casualties at the end of the battle were less than Emma Frost had anticipated.
After all, they are the seven Legion that maintain the unity of a universe, so they cannot be underestimated.
Accompanying the First Legion was an increasing number of weapons, which were relocated to the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance, including the two most important Cosmic Energy cannons.
Nick Fury, with a gloomy expression, watched as the protective gate was opened and closed again and again, displaying all sorts of collected weapons and strange objects placed on the battlefield. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
It's impossible for the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. not to be heartbroken, as all the treasures they had painstakingly accumulated over the years were brought out.
Even though his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Nick Fury didn't cause any trouble or even voice any objections. He simply provided a list of the entire collection.
He also understood Emma Frost's desperate attitude and what it was all for, and he also understood Emma Frost's thoughts.
"While using the Utopia Alliance headquarters as a battlefield is indeed somewhat risky, there is no doubt that it will be the best place for it."
Emma Frost nodded in satisfaction as she watched all sorts of treasured items being laid out at once.
"I'd like to see just how capable that guy is of withstanding such an attack!"
Emma Frost's tone gradually became serious.
"This plane is just too absurd! They actually abandoned the original battlefield and are using the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance as the battlefield?"
Meanwhile in Manhattan, Su Chen's younger sister Su Shan, watched with some confusion as the screens gradually quieted down, and asked, somewhat bewildered.
As Steppenwolf sensed the presence of the last box, he withdrew from the battlefield without hesitation, despite the Parademons' reckless attempts to stop him.
A massive spaceship took off once more, and they flew straight toward the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance.
If it weren't for the fact that two other Mother Box had already been activated on the spaceship, Steppenwolf could have easily used the Boom Tube.
That would indeed increase the speed considerably, but even with the use of super flight, it would only take a few minutes. At this point, the impatient Steppenwolf no longer cared about these details.
Meanwhile, the cameras in the building where Emma Frost had specifically sent the signal to Su Chen, which had been monitoring the former battlefield, gradually fell silent.
Steppenwolf left, and the Parademons followed closely behind.
Upon receiving the order, the Third Legion dared not linger and rushed back to its troop transport ships, while simultaneously heading towards the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance.
