Lin En's killing spree did not last long. This had little to do with Lin En himself, but was caused by the lack of supply of demonoids.
A rough calculation showed that the total number of demonoids that came to besiege Linn was probably several hundred. I don't know how such a large group of large cockroaches with wings managed to bypass the field of vision and find Linn's home.
Compared to the two demonoids who went to find Cyborg, Linn's side was obviously more "respected" and more lively, although everything was quiet now.
"Lynn, is the mother box still there?"
Batman wasn't worried at all about whether Linn was injured. He couldn't die anyway, so he could just live with it.
Jumping off the roof was completely different from Cyborg who had become a little reserved inexplicably. The communication between Batman and Lynn was still the same as before, without any change.
"Hey, can't you ask me if I'm okay? After all, I am also a lone hero. I have protected Gotham by myself from being disturbed and destroyed by these extraterrestrial visitors. You know how much effort I have put in..."
"Lynn. Where's the mother box."
Others don't know who Linn is, but Batman definitely knows. He can guarantee that Linn's face under the mask is absolutely relaxed and happy, with such a big smile that his eyes can no longer be seen.
Linn has not changed since the day Batman first met him. He has always been the same person. However, under Linn's seemingly crazy appearance, there is a bottom line that others cannot see clearly.
"Mother Box Mother Box Mother Box... Let me see, over there, it's buried in the ground."
The golden armor on his body was slowly put away, and as the glory faded away, Lin En changed back to his original appearance, putting on the blood-red leather trench coat that he couldn't tell why.
The soil on the surface trembled, and soon, a large iron box tied to a sharp tree root "crawled" out from under Lin En's sofa.
"Hey, the mother box is here. You two are so anxious. Take it back and leave it to you."
"Lynn, your joke has gone too far."
Although the Mother Box was handed over from his own hands, Cyborg didn't look like he was taking the Mother Box back.
Lin En can carry hundreds of demonoids and kill all directions, and can also arrange for a cat and a robot to watch the show in the auditorium. Cyborg feels that he cannot do this.
It doesn't matter whether he wants to fight or not, Cyborg just doesn't want anything to happen to the Mother Box in his hands.
…
Batman was relieved when he saw the two mother boxes placed well on the ground.
As long as the mother box is not lost, everything is promising.
"Lynn, where is the third mother box? Why isn't it with you?"
"The third mother box is in the Amazon, which is the Island of Girls. They... have been tricked too many times. They have enmity with the gods, Atlantis, and humans. If the Amazon Queen is a doer, this Things still need to be discussed, but she is still a woman who keeps her promises and is responsible.
To put it bluntly, she is willing to protect the mother box herself, and she does not trust us humans at all. "
What Lin En said was not a lie. The Amazons were indeed like this. They would rather die generously for the agreement they made with all races back then than trust today's humans.
This is a problem left over from history and cannot be solved with a few words.
"What about the mother box?"
Batman doesn't care about this. According to his old man's thinking and style, whoever has a problem should solve it himself. I am only responsible for solving the only problem!
Mother box!
"Don't worry~"
Linn nonchalantly pulled Batman and Cyborg to sit down and poured them both a cup of root tea.
"There will definitely not be so many people there."
"Then I'll let go..."
"Since Steppenwolf didn't come to my place, he must have gone to the Amazon. The general will take action, and there won't be too many soldiers~"
"What!"
This time, even Batman, who was pretending to be calm, couldn't stay calm anymore. He stood up in a sudden motion, knocking over the tea cup on the table, and the tree roots inside fell out.
"What!"
Cyborg also stood up when he saw this, but his tea cup was picked up by Linn in advance and he didn't spill it.
"Why are you so anxious~"
"Lynn! This is no time for joking."
The way Batman looks now and speaks in a terrifying voice, he looks like he's going to tear Linn apart at any moment.
"What do you think Diana said to me during the last meeting? It was just about this mother box. I remember I told you.
Don't worry, Diana is on that island now. "
Cyborg's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Great! If Diana can defeat the enemy general, we will win early, Lynn!"
"cannot."
"……ah?"
"Diana can't beat it. Steppenwolf is very strong!"
"Lynn!"
Batman took half a step towards Linn and hid his hands in his cloak. Needless to say, he was really going to take action.
"I told you, there's no need to rush."
Linn still had the same lazy look: "Have you not noticed that since the last incident with the Parallax Monster, you have never seen Diana and Superman again."
Linn's words made Batman stunned again. He opened his mouth and closed it again, not choosing to answer Linn's words.
Lin En held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back and said: "Yes, there is a man on Paradise Island now!
He is Don...he is our Superman: Kal-El! "
………………
Paradise Island.
The wind is gentle and the sunshine is pleasant. Although this island is not very large, the climate and other conditions have always been very good. Otherwise, the Amazons would not have chosen this place as the place where they were "exiled".
On the seaside, facing the direction of the sun, Superman, wearing a battle suit and a red cape, is now here, looking in the direction of the sea.
Two days ago, at the invitation of Ms. Diana, Superman came to the island with Diana as a helper in the battle.
According to Linn's reasoning, since Cyborg discovered that the mother box that was still in his hand had changed, no matter how far apart they were, the other two mother boxes must have also changed in the same way.
Coupled with the fact that the Green Lantern Corps was destroyed and the incident involving the Parallax monsters occurred, the Mother Box is sending out some kind of signal to summon the people who originally built it to "take it back", which can be regarded as an established fact. Considered.
Otherwise, Cyborg and Neptune would not directly hand over the mother box that was originally kept by them to Linn for safekeeping.
Darkseid, coming soon.
…
How Lynn performs as a friend may vary from person to person.
However, as a teammate who works side by side in battle, Linn is undoubtedly trustworthy, and even the only and most trustworthy person.
Not only because Lin En has more means and richer fighting skills, but also because...
Although it's a bit bad to say this,... Lynn had no weaknesses, nothing that could be blackmailed.
He is invulnerable.
From this perspective, Linn is the only person who will never be coerced or defeated.
However, the Amazons cannot integrate with human society. Their hostility towards humans makes it absolutely impossible for the Mother Box protected by the Amazons to be handed over to Lin En.
Unless Linn becomes the villain in advance and comes here to take away the mother box with strong force.
Of course Superman didn't know about the discord between the Amazons and other races at first. These were all things Diana told him. At the same time, these words also made Superman think of another aspect of things.
For now, even if the Amazons are willing to put aside their prejudices, fight against humanity together, and become allies again, what about the future?
Will mankind do the same thing again as before, tearing up the agreement?
Will the Amazons be afraid of the special lifespan and strength of the Amazon family and do something?
Superman didn't dare to say it, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Human beings have always been complex. Even a small individual is difficult to see through and explain, let alone a group composed of billions of individuals.
"Clark, what are you thinking about?"
Maybe it's because of his male identity, or maybe it's just that the island is naturally repellent to outsiders. Superman clearly felt the "excessive politeness" of the Amazon women on the island.
He was not a person like Lin En. Although Superman, a gentle man, was invited to help and was treated coldly, he was not angry. He just came to the seaside far away from the crowd and stood here alone, waiting silently.
Of course, Diana was the only one on the entire island who could come here to find him and call him by his name.
After smiling, Superman turned around and saw Diana, who had her hair tied up, but only without her hair crown and shield. She was still in military uniform.
"Nothing, I just want to confirm which direction the metropolis is."
Superman turned around, and Diana walked to his side and looked in the direction of the sea.
"Heh, it's funny. The person who stood here looking at the sea last time was Lin En."
"Ha, did he say something?"
"He asked me why humans can't find Paradise Island, but fish can find it. Why can fish find it but Atlanteans can't find it."
"Um...did you answer him?"
"Of course not. To be honest, I don't know if he would ask more outrageous questions if I answered him."
"Hahahaha. Lynn, that's what he is."
The two chatted casually, looking like ordinary friends who met on the roadside and chatted about everyday things.
"Clark, do you think we can win this time?"
After Diana was quiet for a while, her expression gradually became serious. She has always been courageous and has never been afraid of anything.
Including this time.
But, after all, this time is different.
Darkseid did fail once before on Earth, but it was precisely because of this that he counterattacked for the second time. It will definitely be more fierce and fierce than the first time.
However, the rebels on Earth are no longer as united as they were before.
The gods fell, Atlantis sank, and the Amazons were left alone on the island...
Human beings are destined to be alone.
The only thing that is better than before is probably that this time there are Superman and Linn on the earth.
However, this is where Diana's worries come from.
She always felt that Linn seemed to have been showing an unspeakable worry about Darkseid's arrival.
This has to make people think a lot.
"Do you think we will fail?"
Superman didn't answer, but asked her a question instead.
Diana was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and turned her gaze back to the vast sea.
"At least not until I die."
She pinched her wrist guard, and her eyes became bright and sharp again: "Since it is destined to come, there is nothing to say.
Just try your best to resist. "
Superman also smiled: "That's right. I think so too."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, on the other side of the island, a gradually spreading "sound wave" came into their eyes.
"That is……"
"That's right, it's where the mother box is placed!"
With a flash of light in her hand, Diana placed the forehead crown on her forehead, jumped high, and flew towards the building on the other side of the island where the mother box was specially placed.
Behind her, Superman arrived first, surpassing Diana at a faster speed and flying ahead.
When the two landed, the mother box in the tower just released the second wave of waves.
"What is it doing?"
"It's calling those people!"
Without any time to explain, Diana rushed into the stone tower first.
Running through the long passage, at the center of the tower, Diana saw the mother box that had been placed here and had withstood the scorching and burning of the sun's energy for thousands of years. It was still as cold as ever and had not changed at all.
It is floating in the air in the hot light, constantly rolling and deforming, leaving marks one after another on the surface, changing into various patterns.
Inexplicably, Diana felt that the mother box seemed to be "looking" at her and saying something.
She felt...Mother Box seemed to be very happy.
"Diana! You..."
"We don't have time to talk about this anymore. Get out of here!"
The Amazon female warrior who had been guarding here for generations was about to say something to Diana when she was eagerly interrupted.
At the moment, no matter what the rules are, they are more important than what is about to happen.
With that said, Diana jumped up, cut off the high platform supporting the Mother Box with a sword, and held the falling Mother Box in her arms.
"Get out of here! Quick!"
There was no time to explain. Diana held the sword in her hand, shouted at her compatriots, turned around and ran out.
At this time, the mother box, which had been relatively quiet just now, seemed to sense some danger. It vibrated violently and erupted with a burst of dazzling white light.
After the light dissipated, the entire stone tower was riddled with holes and was crumbling.
At the same time, a large number of ugly demonoids also appeared on the walls of the stone tower and on the roof as the light dissipated, with their ugly mouths open and roaring hard.
"Diana! Take that thing and get out of here!"
The female guard who was talking to Diana just now drew her sword and shouted loudly: "Amazon——!
Draw your sword! "
The screams of the sword were heard continuously, and all the Amazon female warriors did not retreat. They all pulled out their swords and stood between the ugly monsters and Diana holding the Mother Box.
Then, the battle broke out!
