Chapter 270 The Mother Box Is Lost
The Justice League all thought that the source of this crisis was Doomsday, but they were wrong.
Doomsday may be a very troublesome problem on the Earth in the original movie or on other planets, but it is still not enough for today’s Earth with so many superheroes.
Some people see this clearly.
No one thought, not even Dane, that the crisis of Doomsday did not come entirely from Lex Luthor's pride. Behind him, there was a black hand controlling everything.
Let's push the time forward slightly. When the Justice League took collective action to deal with Doomsday, an uninvited guest came to the Amazon residence on Paradise Island.
The Amazons guarding the "Mother Box" noticed something unusual about it and immediately asked someone to call the Queen. However, when Queen Hippolyta rushed here in a hurry, there was a sudden sound blast channel.
In the "buzzing" sound wave, a large group of demonoids like flies flew out.
"Amazon—! Attack!"
Hippolyta threw off the cloak she was wearing, revealing the exquisite armor underneath, which was a sub-artifact mixed with a small amount of the eighth metal.
She is neither a god nor a demigod, so she cannot perfectly function as an artifact.
As a sub-artifact that is only slightly inferior to the artifact, it can well express the combat power of Shiba original24.
Moreover, the demonoids are not very strong, at least not for these well-trained elite Amazon female warriors. Their only advantages are that they can fly and have hot weapons in their hands.
So most of the time they can bully people with air superiority.
However, the place where the Amazons store the "Mother Box" is a fully enclosed base with only one exit. The surrounding area is made of the hardest basalt, so the demons cannot take advantage of it.
The Amazon elites are all Marksmans with perfect shots. At this distance, they can kill those demons with their eyes closed.
Therefore, even though they were using primitive bows and arrows, they still killed the demonoids with their corpses all over the ground.
But this situation changes after another person arrives, Steppenwolf arrives.
A giant landed in the bunker from above the sonic tunnel, trampling on the thousand-year-old castle.
"Amazonians..."
Steppenwolf is nearly three meters tall, his whole body is wrapped in silver active metal armor, his eyes seem to be emitting a blue light, and he is carrying a huge single-edged ax in his hand.
As soon as Hippolyta saw him, she immediately felt a deep worry in her heart.
"kill him!"
She shouted loudly, then threw the rope and tied it to the "Mother Box" in the center of the bunker.
Steppenwolf noticed her movements and was about to step forward to intercept her when he was blocked by a group of Amazon female warriors who were not afraid of death.
He cleared the way with his sharp ax, hacked to death the several Amazons who caught him, and then chased in the direction of Hippolyta.
But Hippolyta, who had already run to the exit, had already arranged everything. Before Steppenwolf could break through the door, the entire bunker collapsed and fell into the sea on the edge of the cliff.
Hippolyta held the "Mother Box" and breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish breathing, she saw a huge figure rising into the sky and landing in front of her.
It's Steppenwolf!
He grabbed Hippolyta's slender neck with one hand, and grabbed the "Mother Box" she held in her arms with the other hand.
"This belongs to me!"
However, before he could touch the "Mother Box", his hand was tied up with a rope, and Steppenwolf was twitched inadvertently.
At this time, Hippolyta pulled out the sword from her waist and slashed Steppenwolf's unprotected face, inflicting a shallow wound on him.
Steppenwolf was hit in the face and subconsciously blocked it with his hand. Hippolyta was free again. She did not choose to continue attacking, but turned around and ran away!
Steppenwolf was furious. He yanked the rope tied to his arm, pulled the Amazon next to him, and swung his ax, splitting her in two.
He then continued chasing in the direction of Hippolyta.
At this time, Hippolyta had already found a horse and rode it far away. She knew that there was an Amazon army behind that hillside, and they could fight at any time!
"Queen!"
At this time, the female warrior in front looked back and shouted to her.
Hippolyta subconsciously looked behind her. At the moment, Steppenwolf jumped high. His figure looked very small in the sky, but gradually, his figure became bigger and bigger, and he was gradually approaching her!
Hippolyta gritted her teeth, threw the "Mother Box" in her arms to the female warrior in front, and shouted: "Keep it with your life!"
Then she turned back on her horse, preparing to fight Steppenwolf.
But she made a mistake. Steppenwolf had no interest in her. He only had eyes for the "Mother Box"!
So when Hippolyta looked at death as if she was standing in front of him, Steppenwolf ignored her and chased directly in the direction of the Amazons in front.
Hippolyta was stunned for two seconds, then hurriedly turned around and chased Steppenwolf.
But for opponents like Steppenwolf, the horse's speed is still too slow.
He jumped lightly, jumped to the side of the Amazon holding the "Mother Box", and hit the man and the horse with an "iron mountain leaning" posture. The Amazon was knocked away on the spot.
At this time, Hippolyta threw the rope again, trying to catch the "Mother Box", but this time Steppenwolf was on guard and grabbed the "Mother Box" faster than she did, and then pulled Hippolyta hard. Drag from horseback.
Because Steppenwolf exerted his force too fast, Hippolyta had no time to let go. When she realized this, she fell into Steppenwolf's palm again.
"You are very brave, but your strength is not worth mentioning, let's see!"
Steppenwolf's gaze turned elsewhere, and Hippolyta also looked over, where the Amazons were being slaughtered by demonoids.
Unlike in the movie where the demons have the advantage of flying and have to land on the ground to fight hand-to-hand with the Amazons, the demons here know how to use their own advantages.
They have been flying high in the sky, using their excellent dynamic vision and the energy weapons in their hands to shoot at the primitive people on the ground.
Therefore, the battlefield showed a one-sided situation.
"I'm surprised that so many years have passed since the last war, and you Amazons are still using such an ancient and inefficient way of fighting.
Steppenwolf sneered sharply, and the demonoids ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Amazons.
All this made Hippolyta heartbroken.
Steppenwolf enjoys all this, he enjoys the moment of ravaging his opponents, but he can't waste too much time now.
He wasn't sure when the real Asgardians of this world would notice him, so he was ready to kill the Amazon Queen and leave.
But how could Hippolyta, as the little lover of Zeus, not have some little tricks to save her life?
Just when Steppenwolf started to have murderous intentions, a strong lightning suddenly burst out from her body. The lightning blasted Steppenwolf out in an instant, causing him to fall into a huge pit with his back on the ground.
Steppenwolf clapped his hands and stood up quickly [Ten pairs of eyes looked coldly at the woman opposite.
"The power of the old gods!"
Realizing that it might be difficult for him to kill Hippolyta in a short period of time, Steppenwolf was very clear-headed and had no intention of continuing to get entangled with her.
Now that the "Mother Box" has been obtained, he should retreat immediately. He still has other "Mother Boxes" to collect.
"This is not the end, Amazons, far from it..."
Leaving behind these words, whether it was a warning or a foreshadowing, a sonic blast channel exploded above Steppenwolf's head, and he disappeared again with his demonic army.
At this time, the Amazon army gathered behind the hillside arrived belatedly.
"Queen!"
Her adjutant came over quickly to help Hippolyta, who had lost all strength, and was caught by her.
"Mother box, mother box..."
The female adjutant looked ugly and whispered: "My mother has been taken away!"
Hippolyta was greatly shocked, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
"We must light the ancient beacon of warning!"
However, the female adjutant hesitated: "I'm afraid human beings have forgotten the meaning of beacon fire.
But Hippolyta was firm: "But she won't!"
But before that, the Amazons still need to bury Decedent and clean up the battlefield.
While they were doing these things, Steppenwolf was already rushing non-stop to the storage location of the next "Mother Box", Atlantis.
It's even simpler there. In the original movie, Mera went to take care of her from time to time, but now, the place where Mera travels the most is the surface world, and she hasn't been here for a long time.
So Steppenwolf succeeded in getting this "Mother Box" without even encountering any decent resistance.
The first person to get the news of the theft of the "Mother Box" was Arthur, but after hearing it, he just scratched his head and said in surprise:
"What is a mother box?".
