Although one corner of the head is missing and it looks asymmetrical, the mother box has been obtained and Steppenwolf is now the winner. He has achieved the only goal he wanted.
As for how many demonoids died, hey, those things can't be counted as losses, they are just consumables.
Holding the Mother Box, whose surface was undulating and truly "alive," Steppenwolf laughed arrogantly. At the end of the sky, a fluctuating light enveloped him. After a silent flash, Steppenwolf disappeared onto the sea with the Mother Box.
On the island, watching Steppenwolf take away the Mother Box, Diana, who had been fighting all the time, finally couldn't hold back her breath. She was so tired that she half-knelt on the ground, panting violently.
In this battle, in order to complete the covenant with humans and the Atlantis family many years ago, the Amazons really did everything they could.
Almost everyone on the entire island participated in the war. The battlefield directly encompassed the entire island. After killing demonoids several times the number of islanders, the Amazons themselves suffered heavy losses.
But, in the final analysis, they still failed.
They didn't hold on to the mother box.
"Diana."
Superman also had a solemn expression, walked to Diana and helped her up.
"You know, it's not your fault."
It's very rare for Superman to comfort others. In most cases, he always fights alone. In more cases, he always suffers everything silently and is the one who needs to be comforted by others the most.
It's the same this time, Diana is much tougher than Superman imagined.
She shook her head gently and picked up the sword placed at her feet.
"Don't worry, of course I'll be fine. Besides, our battle is far from over."
As she spoke, she sighed imperceptibly and looked at her compatriots.
In the past two thousand years, this was the most severe loss for the Amazon clan.
Even Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, was seriously injured.
Diana is right. At this moment, the Amazons have completed their obligations. As the daughter of the Amazons, Diana has completed her mission here, and as the Wonder Woman who protects the world, she will continue to The next battle situation.
"Clark, I think it's time for us to get out of here."
"Um."
Superman nodded and looked into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
………………
Gotham.
Inside the Justice League meeting room.
Everyone gathered together, including Lynn, except Superman and Wonder Woman.
At this time, they already knew about the loss of the mother box kept by Amazon, and also knew about the all-consuming battle.
No one blames the Amazons. In order to protect the world, they have guarded the Mother Box for thousands of years, and they are at least much better than humans.
However, everyone's mood was a bit heavy, except for Lin En.
He was still lying in the corner, seemingly sleeping soundly.
Time passed by second by second in silence. At a certain moment, the green light above the door came on. As the metal door opened, Superman and Diana, who could still see scars and bloodstains on their bodies, walked away dusty together. Come in.
Needless to say, the previous matters had been clearly explained in the previous phone call. After the two of them looked at each other, they sat down in their seats.
However, both of them looked solemn and sighed in unison.
"Everyone."
Still Batman presiding over the meeting.
"According to the existing intelligence, since the enemy has obtained a mother box, we must be prepared to face a more powerful enemy."
Regarding the function of the Mother Box, Lin En and Diana have explained it to everyone once. Everyone present knows that in addition to the perfect unification of the three things in one, it can refine the entire planet. , its own ability also has the ability to transmit information over long distances.
To put it simply, once the people of Apokolips get the mother box, the information about the earth will be sent directly back to Apokolips.
Compared with the enemy they need to face at this time, Darkseid, who has always lived in the legend, is the more terrifying one.
At this time, everyone present moved their eyes to the sleeping Linn several times, as if absentmindedly.
Everyone knows that at this time, the remaining two mother boxes are at Linn's place.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
Batman's words drew everyone's attention back to the meeting.
Looking at each other, Neptune patted the table and stood up.
"The wolf is definitely still on the earth. I think we can't just wait. Who knows what preparations the wolf will make during this time.
We should find him first, then kill him and get the mother box back! "
Neptune is not talking nonsense. Although he looks like a muscular man and fits the stereotype of a brainless man, in fact, Neptune is anything but like that.
His proposal can be said to be one of the most direct and effective means of response at present.
"But, if we look for it together, I'm not being sarcastic, I mean...
If you want to find one, how do we allocate combatants? You know, if we lose, then..."
Green Lantern spread his hands: "Earth is really doomed. I mean, the other party is not a villain in the ordinary sense. They may have some kind of brainwashing or other high-tech control methods. We bump into it and say Maybe it’s what they want.”
At this time, the Flash also raised his hand weakly: "I agree no matter what, I just want to say that no matter what, we should protect the remaining two mother boxes from the other party."
There is only one mother box, which is an interstellar phone. Only when three mother boxes are gathered together will it become a portal.
So, in theory, what The Flash said is fine.
So, once again, everyone turned their attention to Lin En lying in the corner.
Coincidentally, at this time, Linn just "woke up".
"Hey, this place is really not good. The ground here is hard. You can build a hammock here sometime."
Lin En stood up with a yawn, met the eyes of the people in the room, rubbed the corners of his eyes calmly, and flicked his fingers on the ground.
"What?"
"Lynn, those two mother boxes are still with you."
"Yes."
Lin En conjured up a large solid wood chair with an exaggerated backrest, which made a squeaking sound on the ground. He pulled it all the way to the corner of the table and sat down.
"Why, do you want to help keep it safe?"
"Lynn, now is not the time for joking."
Batman looked at Linn and said slowly: "The enemy has obtained a mother box. What are your plans next?"
"Plan? No."
Lin En shook his head like a rattle: "That's your business. I have no idea about protecting the world. I always just want to protect myself. Isn't this the first day you met me?
Those demonoids have empty heads, and I really can’t arouse any interest in them. "
If Lin En had said such words, if it were anyone else's, their jaws would have dropped, and I don't know how many people would have been chilled.
But since he is Lynn, it makes sense.
"In other words, you are not going to act with us."
"right."
Lin En still looked lazy: "I have never acted together with you."
As he spoke, Linn looked at someone present as if he remembered something.
"Ron En, where are you, do you have any news~"
Martian Manhunter still attended the meeting today in his human appearance, but there was no conspicuous mark on his body. He even wore an ordinary sweatshirt, which was more casual than Lynn, and it was different from the various unique items on the table. Comparing the beautiful combat uniforms, the styles are extremely mismatched.
But this did not prevent him from understanding the meaning of Lin En's words.
"I haven't notified the superiors yet. I don't think humans can provide any effective help.
At least in moments like this, they didn't know any better. "
Ron En looked at Lin En: "As long as they don't cause trouble, they are already helping.
Lynn, what do you think? "
"Hehehe."
Linn laughed dryly: "I don't think so, it seems to be of no use.
But, what about you, do you think you can hide this kind of thing? "
Everyone at the table had crossed paths with Lynn to one degree or another. The entire Justice League, except for The Flash, had a "no acquaintance" relationship with Lynn.
But the one who knows Linn best is definitely Batman.
As soon as he heard the tone of Lin En's words, he knew that Lin En must be thinking of some crooked idea, and it was definitely not a good thing.
"Lynn, at this time, don't act nonsense."
Batman had to remind Linn aloud that he could do whatever he wanted normally, but at this time, Batman was really afraid that Linn would do something incomprehensible.
Last time, when the Three Palace Demons appeared, Lin En wanted to lead the battlefield to Gotham.
Linn must be stopped!
"Can I have any crooked ideas~"
Lynn admitted nothing: "I just think that sometimes, things may not develop in the direction you think."
This time, more people frowned.
Lynn, what does he mean?
Martian Manhunter understands.
"Lynn, what you mean is that this time, it is a community with a shared future that affects the entire human race. It is not one person's responsibility or one person's fate. You want to say, I cannot and do not need to make decisions for other people. ."
Bang bang bang! Lynn clapped and gave a thumbs up.
After that, he supported the table with both hands, glanced at everyone present, and said playfully: "To be honest, I really want to do an experiment now. That is, catch you all and lock you up for a while.
I want to see what will happen outside if you, those of you who are hit by the law every day, don't even dare to expose your true identity, and are constantly being yelled at and killed by those gentlemen, disappear for a month or two from now on. "
"Lynn! Don't be impulsive!"
As Batman said this, his hands that were on the table just now were hidden under the table.
Beside, Martian Manhunter had cold sweat falling on his face, while Superman had a helpless smile on his face.
Among all the people present, only the three of them understood Lin En's mentality that she particularly disliked those in power at certain times. Brother Martian even personally "accompanied" Lin En and traveled thousands of kilometers together. "Retaliation Demonstrations" tour.
Lin En has always had this idea, and it's hard to say that he won't actually do it this time.
"Lynn, I want to remind you that doing this will not change the current situation in any way. Believe me, if the scene you envisioned happens, the people at the bottom who will be hurt more will definitely be the people at the bottom. The kinder part of the population.”
"Who said that."
Faced with Martian Manhunter's kind words, Lin's face suddenly turned cold, and she slowly turned to him and said slowly: "I don't mind, just be the cleaner.
People in Apokolips can't tell the difference, and I still can't tell the difference. "
What these words say is even more frightening. Although people like Aquaman, Flash, and Green Lantern who don't care much about this kind of problem still can't understand it, people like Cyborg and Green Arrow who can understand it can't understand it. Taken it off the table.
What's going on? Why did it suddenly become like this? We weren't just discussing how to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies. Why did it suddenly happen like this now? Who woke Linn up! Why did you wake him up? !
"Oh, don't worry~~"
Lynn suddenly smiled again and lay back in his big chair.
"How crazy a person must be to do such a thing~"
Everyone was watching, and except for Batman, no one set their sights on Linn, fearing that he might misunderstand something.
"Whatever you want to do, you can just do it. As for me, I can provide you with some free support. I will definitely not act with you. Don't call me in the following meetings or anything else.
What I can do is to ensure that these two mother boxes will not be obtained by people from Apokolips.
In the meantime, I need to disappear for a while. "
"Lynn, you want to..."
"good."
Batman stopped asking questions, looked into Linn's eyes, and said softly: "That's it."
With that said, Batman held out his hand.
Linn pressed the table happily, stretched out his hands, and Batman held them together.
"Oh, by the way, one more thing."
Linn raised a finger: "Remember, when I say disappear, I really disappear. In a few days, if you suspect me for something, that's not okay~!
Bye~! "
Putting the chair down on the spot, Linn jumped up and left. The people in the room were left looking at each other in confusion.
"What did he mean just now?"
"Isn't it obvious enough? What he means is that he took advantage of this opportunity to do something that is usually inconvenient to do. He did it, but he would not admit it, and he would not let us say it."
"Then we just...pretend not to know?"
"if not."
Green Arrow, who had been silent until now, sighed: "Well, I just hope that he has done everything he can do in Star City and will not go to Star City this time."
"of course not."
Batman shook his head slightly: "What he wants to do will definitely not be limited to one city."
As he said that, Batman also stopped talking, as if he had thought of something: "Everyone, this is the end of the meeting. We will talk tomorrow. I have to leave for a while to solve the problems in Gotham and the anti-Lin The armor was also overhauled.
Everyone, let me give you one last reminder.
If in two days... people from Apokolips do something... strange, everyone, don't be surprised. "
