Chapter 421 / Chapter 422

Su Chen continued speaking.

The plan to retake Darkseid's Planet did not include the Third Legion, because no one knew whether the Third Legion even existed in this universe.

If the Fourth Legion were to rush there without knowing anything about the situation, the entire Legion might fall silent.

That would mean sending not four Legion, but twenty-three Legion plus one burden...

So the counter-offensive plan is underway, and at the same time, the plan to conquer a universe will also be led by the Fourth Legion!

"Understood, the First Legion, Second Legion, and Third Legion are simultaneously participating in the counter-offensive plan, while the Fourth Legion continues training, preparing to conquer this universe!"

Emma Frost nodded emphatically, indicating that she understood Su Chen's meaning.

"By the way, have the battle statistics come out yet? What were the losses of the First Legion and Third Legion?"

Su Chen suddenly thought of something else and asked Emma Frost about it.

In addition to cleaning up the battlefield, the two Legion that participated in the battle were also conducting self-examinations.

With the battlefield cleared, their examination results should be available by now.

Upon hearing this, Emma Frost blushed slightly and lowered her head somewhat sadly.

"This time, both Legion suffered somewhat heavy losses... after all, their tactics were a bit too brutal."

Emma Frost's voice, which had been full of energy, now sounded somewhat weak.

After all, it was a reckless attack by two Legion, so while the offensive power was immense, it was also a double-edged sword, and the losses it caused were not insignificant either.

Chapter 421

"Since you're using such tactics, the resulting casualties should be within your expectations. What's there to be ashamed of?"

Seeing Emma Frost lower her head and sound weak, Su Chen smiled and said.

"The main problem is that the casualties this time are just too staggering..."

Emma Frost lowered her head and said with a hint of helplessness.

When the final audit results appeared in front of the personnel specifically responsible for compiling them, their hands trembled slightly as they held the results.

First Legion Sentinels Legion.

This time, all the Sentinels remaining on Earth 1 were deployed, resulting in a casualty rate as high as 40%.

Of these, 80% are completely damaged beyond repair, while the remaining portion are severely damaged and unable to continue in combat, but can still be repaired.

The remaining 60% all have some degree of mechanical damage, but over time, the Sentinels can gradually repair themselves.

Depending on the repair time, there will be a continuous supply of new Sentinels to replenish the fleet; all of this needs to be factored in.

It will take approximately two weeks to restore the Sentinels to their previous full strength.

The Amazo machine suffered irreversible damage, which is related to the corrosive environment created by the Mother Box. However, as research into the technology of integration continues, this irreversible corrosive damage should be able to be healed.

This result is similar to that of the previous battle against the Black Lantern Corps, or even worse, when the Sentinels Legion suffered more losses, since it was just the Sentry Legion Legion alone.

Next is the statistics for the Second Legion. Since the Second Legion did not participate in the battle at all, there were no casualties.

When it came to the Third Legion, the data was simply appalling.

More than 30% of the Third Legion's combat members were killed in action!

Of the rest, most were seriously injured, with only a small number suffering minor injuries or being unharmed.

Most importantly, the Third Legion is composed entirely of New Mutants. Although their recovery rate is higher than that of ordinary humans, it will take far longer for these severely wounded soldiers to return to combat readiness than for the First Legion.

In fact, some of the videos showing serious injuries resulted in irreversible, lifelong damage, making it impossible for them to maintain their previous fighting prowess.

The Legion of the Third Legion was also seriously injured. In addition to the severe injury to his foot, the numerous wounds all over his body had caused him to lose too much blood, and he could only recover in bed for a short period of time. His recovery speed was barely enough to allow him to continue fighting for up to two weeks.

To describe the Third Legion as severely weakened is an understatement; to put it bluntly, this Legion has been almost completely decimated.

It is foreseeable that the Themyscira sanatorium, where the Parademons once landed, will soon welcome a new batch of visitors. A large number of the Third Legion soldiers who have lost their fighting ability will recuperate there, and may even spend the rest of their lives there.

Although everyone in the Third Legion proved that its combat power was in no way inferior to the other two Legion, they also paid a rather heavy price for it.

Whether it's allowing soldiers to rest and recuperate, or continuing to recruit New Mutants on home Earth and Earth One, it will take one to three months.

The only good news for them was that their operation was seen by almost everyone on Earth, which earned them considerable goodwill. This meant their recruitment efforts might go more smoothly than expected.

As a fellow sufferer of the Third Legion, the Fourth Legion's report was not much better.

In terms of overall strength, the Fourth Legion possesses far greater power than the Third Legion, after all, they were once a combined entity of the seven major Legion that roamed an entire universe.

However, somewhat unfortunately, the Fourth Legion encountered its nemesis this time.

Before the First Legion went to help, the entire Fourth Legion was practically being hammered to the ground by the First.

It was only after the First Legion joined that the Fourth Legion was able to catch its breath and react in time to cooperate. Otherwise, not to mention whether they could defeat the First, it would be uncertain how many of them would survive.

To date, the surviving Legion of the Fourth Legion have been virtually unharmed, with no wounds whatsoever.

However, their numbers have been reduced by almost half!

The First, controlled by the controller, never showed mercy. Once contact was made with the First, the raw materials of the seven Emotional Spectrum that had been devoured would instantly retaliate, and the members of the Fourth Legion would have no chance of escaping.

You either don't come into contact with life, or you come into contact with death.

The fighting strength of the Third Legion and Fourth Legion was almost halved.

This is why Emma Frost felt so ashamed.

Of the four powerful Legion, only Legion can now be cobbled together at best; they've managed to lose two of them...

Their enemies consisted of only a Steppenwolf and a Parademons Legion.

Although they still don't know what other tricks the being they're facing, known as Darkseid, has up his sleeve, the Parademons on their planet far exceeds the number of this Parademons Legion!

Just thinking about it makes one feel somewhat hopeless.

Upon hearing Emma Frost's words, Su Chen suddenly laughed.

"You overestimate your enemy, and you also greatly underestimate yourselves!"

Su Chen gently shook his head.

"The Utopia Alliance has only been established for a year or two, while the other side has accumulated hundreds, even thousands of years of experience. If you can reach their level in such a short time, then who can say for sure that you will be able to surpass them in the future?"

Su Chen spoke calmly.

"Moreover, in battles like that, the number of the Legion is no longer important. What matters most are the most elite forces, such as the Nekron, the First who was just freed from control, and Darkseid whom we will face in the future. Once we deal with them, we have nothing to fear!"

Chapter 422

As the First Legion and Third Legion converged at the headquarters of the Utopia Alliance, preparing for the final battle, Su Chen had already silently appeared within the headquarters.

At that time, the two cannons were not even fully charged.

If Su Chen wanted to, no place could conceal Su Chen brilliance; yet, if Su Chen wanted to, no one would even notice his existence.

When members of the Utopia Alliance mobilized, carrying all sorts of weapons, and advanced towards this battlefield of the final battle...

Su Chen, equally unassuming, followed behind one of the members, leisurely arriving at the battlefield with the main force.

Su Chen happened to be in this team when the dangerous scene unfolded earlier.

As the axe hurtled towards Emma Frost, the blue-white Cosmic Energy in Su Chen's hand began to subtly ripple.

However, Su Chen saw the Legion of the Third Legion suddenly pick up the axe and kick it away with all his might, after which the blue and white light disappeared silently once again.

Somewhat coincidentally, after Nadeshiko deviated from her original trajectory and continued to tumble on the ground, she ended up right next to Su Chen.

Looking at the strangely shaped axe that exuded a murderous aura, Su Chen raised an eyebrow, gently bent down, and took the axe in his hand.

"I witnessed the entire battle you fought, from beginning to end, but I never appeared, because I knew it would be a battle that would record your glory."

Seeing that the Utopia Alliance and all relevant personnel had gathered here, Su Chen calmly spoke while holding the axe.

Although the sound wasn't loud, it was clear enough for everyone present to hear, including Steppenwolf, whose eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

The real deal, isn't it, who just appeared in the relationship?

Even if it was a fierce attack that he had painstakingly planned and launched before, putting aside whether it was effective or not, he now discovered that the target was not the true supreme being of Earth.

This discovery is incredibly disheartening.

Even more frustrating things were yet to come. Su Chen, holding Steppenwolf's axe, spoke to the members of the Utopia Alliance with a serious expression, as if he were holding a meeting.

It was as if they completely disregarded this remaining enemy, treating it as nothing at all.

This kind of disregard generates more intense negative emotions than humiliation.

"This time, the appearance of this group of useless people was very sudden. However, I am very satisfied with how you handled these unexpected situations, whether it was on the previous battlefield, the asteroid battlefield, or this battlefield now."

Su Chen continued speaking loudly.

"Unexpected situations arose on every battlefield, and you handled each one perfectly, including the last one."

For the first time, Su Chen looked at the Third Legion Legion with an approving gaze. The Commander, who had been standing by the side despite the pain, was unusually energetic because of Su Chen's praise.

"Next time, be more careful. Even a lion needs to go all out to hunt a rabbit. The battle isn't over yet, and you're already being so careless. That's not a good habit."

Then Su Chen's expression turned slightly serious as he spoke to Emma Frost beside him.

Despite the double guarantee of Su Chen and the Third Legion Legion, Emma Frost will definitely be safe and sound after this battle, but no one can guarantee when the next accident will happen.

Since Emma Frost appeared alongside the other members, Su Chen treated her the same way, treating her as one of the other members as well.

"I understand, Your Supreme. This time it was my oversight."

Emma Frost didn't argue, but nodded emphatically.

"This battle marks the beginning for you, and I am very satisfied with your first fight. So you must not disappoint me in the battles to come!"

Su Chen nodded, then turned back to the other members and spoke loudly!

"Clear!"

Despite being exhausted and bearing some injuries, most members of the Utopia Alliance shouted in unison!

This is war, the thing that gets every man's blood pumping!

As for this guy...

After doing all this, Su Chen finally turned back to look at the pitiful wretch, Steppenwolf.

At this moment, Steppenwolf's breathing gradually became even, but the blue bloodstains on his body still inevitably showed the devastating defeat he had experienced before.

As Su Chen walked towards him step by step, the Steppenwolf struggled to straighten his aching back and preserve what little dignity he had left.

"... My master won't let you get away with this; he has many more Parademons... Ugh!"

Steppenwolf seemed to want to say a few more harsh words, but before he could finish, Su Chen kicked him away without any mercy!

Previously, the wolf had only retreated a few dozen steps after being fiercely rammed by Amazo, but now it suddenly charged backward like a cannonball!

Suddenly, a large cloud of dust rose from a small hill in the distance, as if it had been violently struck by something!

The speed was so great that the members of the Third Legion could not retain a sufficiently clear image on their retinas...

"Being defeated is being defeated, why make such a fuss?"

Su Chen frowned, showing his disdain.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen casually tossed the uniquely shaped axe to the Legion commander.

"Clean up the battlefield, take this guy under control, what... prisoner of war?"

Su Chen gave the order, but then suddenly turned to the Legion commander with some confusion and asked.

"That's right, Your Supreme, weren't we supposed to detain this guy as a prisoner?"

The Legion of the Third Legion spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"You're overthinking it. The Utopia Alliance only ever takes spoils... never prisoners!"

Su Chen gently shook his head, correcting the Legion commander's opinion.

"Next, we will conquer this universe, or even more than just this universe. Such a grand journey naturally deserves a bit of ceremony."
