2189 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 30

Inside the teleportation passage, Steppenwolf’s gaze swept over the people who were beating up the Parademons, and he mumbled, “Once I retrieve the Mother Box, this planet will completely surrender.”

Patting himself on the back mentally, he confidently ordered the Parademons not far away, “Blow up this place.”

With that, he disappeared into the teleportation passage.

The Parademons looked at each other before they screamed and flew to the top of the tunnel. They plucked off the energy grenades at their waists, flicked off the safety, and pressed the trigger.

!!

With a beep, the energy grenades exploded, lighting up the entire tunnel.

Everybody who was fighting the monsters couldn’t help but raise their heads in surprise.

Barry swallowed. “What’s up there?”

Master Wayne sighed. “Gotham Harbor.”

Barry asked, “Isn’t that connected to the ocean?”

Master Wayne wanted to roll his eyes. “Why are you so long-winded? Run.”

Biu~

“Ah!” Barry screamed. There was a black mark on his thigh; he had been shot by a Parademon when he was distracted.

He said gloomily, “See, I wasn’t wrong, right? I’m not good at dealing with insects or guns.”

“Get out of the way if you don’t want to be covered in blood.” Luke was too lazy to deal with these small fry. After giving everyone a warning, he quickly spun around.

Over 100 Bat darts flew out, like bats on the hunt for prey.

The concentrated sound was like countless people opening beer bottles at the same time.

Then… dark green Parademon blood rained down from above.

Barry was looking up, and felt that this terrifying scene was right out of a horror movie. His leg didn’t seem to hurt anymore as he let out a strange shout and disappeared down the tunnel.

Master Wayne, who had been kind enough to go over and take Barry away, widened his eyes. “Holy sh*t!”

Pitter patter!

Dark green blood, broken limbs and internal organs drenched him, turning him dark green.

The battle goddess, who had activated her divine shield’s force field in time, suddenly burst out laughing. “Haha.”

Luke, who had also used the armor’s protective shield to block the bodily fluid, landed. “Alright, if you don’t run, you’ll be getting a free bath.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Barry, who had been hit in the thigh, and flew away.

Diana was still smiling, but she immediately ran into a side tunnel.

The way she flew was more like jumping and gliding. She wasn’t as nimble as Luke’s suit, but she could move very quickly in a straight line, and would definitely be faster than seawater.

Before Master Wayne could say anything, he heard a series of cracks above his head. Then, with a loud bang, a huge amount of seawater broke through the ceiling and came crashing down.

He wasn’t in the mood to curse anymore. With a tap of his foot, the powerful propulsion from the arc reactor allowed him to immediately jump more than ten meters into the side tunnel which he had come from.

Given the rate at which seawater poured in, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape it on flat ground.

His armor had only been upgraded with a power system, and wasn’t waterproof at all.

It didn’t matter if it got wet, but if it was immersed in water, it would definitely short-circuit. Wouldn’t he just turn into a metal turtle then, and sink to the bottom of the ocean?

Unfortunately, Master Wayne was too slow. Just as Luke and the others saw the tunnel entrance, the high-pressure seawater caught up to him.

Seeing that he couldn’t escape, he finally turned around and cursed. “F*ck!”

A figure charged out of the surging waves and blocked in front of Master Wayne. Spinning the five-pronged trident in his hand, he stabbed it into the ground.

The seawater immediately parted.

Master Wayne was stunned for a moment. “You…”

The person with his back to him said, “You better run faster. I can’t hold it off for long.”

Master Wayne turned around and ran.

Thanks to these precious few seconds, he finally charged out of the tunnel.

Less than five seconds later, water burst out of the tunnel.

The figure holding the trident also flew dozens of meters into the air before he landed.

The large amount of seawater he brought with him poured over Master Wayne.

The newcomer smiled in embarrassment. “Well, your armor looked a little dirty, so I washed it for you.”

Expressionlessly, Master Wayne plucked a flustered crab off of his head and flicked it into the water next to him. “It’s fine, Mr. Curry. Thank you for your timely assistance.”

Arthur Curry chuckled. “You’re welcome.”

Commissioner Gordon, who was walking over, looked at Master Wayne with an indecipherable expression. “The mayors of both cities should thank you. They finally don’t have to argue over who will fork out the money to complete the underground tunnel.”

Master Wayne said, “In any case, they wouldn’t be able to fork out the money even if they discussed it for another hundred years.”

Commissioner Gordon: “…Is this also a good friend of yours? It seems you’ve become a lot more open. I’m very glad.”

Arthur winked and gestured at his head. “Haha, your helmet is interesting. It’s a bat, I get it.”

Master Wayne said expressionlessly, “See, not that good a friend.”

Commissioner Gordon: “…”

After shutting the commissioner up, Master Wayne asked Arthur, “Why did you change your mind?”

Arthur shrugged. “Because of Steppenwolf. He stole that box from Atlantis not long ago.”

Diana frowned. “Then the only thing he needs now is the box which mankind has.”

Victor, who had sent his father to an ambulance, walked over. “That thing is still in the secret warehouse in the lab.”

After he said that, everybody suddenly looked in the direction of Metropolis.

In the dark night, a light blue teleportation passage dozens of meters tall appeared in the air and landed somewhere.

Luke said, “That’s the S.T.A.R. building. The secret warehouse you mentioned isn’t there, is it?”

Victor: “…It is.”

Everybody: “…”

They still had to go, but even with Luke demonstrating how fast Knight’s armor was, it was useless.

No one from the Justice League was in the secret warehouse; it was impossible to stop Steppenwolf for even a second.

Also, this guy was definitely the kind who talked big but was actually a coward. No matter how arrogant he sounded, he was actually avoiding them, and instead turned around to steal the box which mankind had been keeping in the secret warehouse.

Steppenwolf wasn’t a brainless animal. When he took over S.T.A.R. Labs, he had continued to monitor everything.

Given how Parademons flew almost soundlessly, it really wasn’t hard for one to spy on a group of ordinary humans.

When Luke and the others had been fighting, Steppenwolf had confirmed the location of mankind’s box. Making a clean retreat, he switched directions, stole the box, and ran

Everything was done in one go. He had no intention of fighting them at all.

This sort of ‘person’ was also the biggest headache for Luke, because the other party knew what he wanted.

Once the Mother Boxes were put together and Earth turned into the environment he needed, Luke and the others would turn into the ‘away team.’

The billions of people on Earth would fall into fear and despair, which was equivalent to billions of backup Parademons.

This alone sickened the Justice League to death.

Even if Superman returned, Steppenwolf would definitely be pounded to sh*t, but all of mankind would be dead by then.

Apart from Luke being able to earn one last round of experience and credit points, it would be meaningless.

He had to kill this guy as soon as possible.
