American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Little octopuses of various colors hatched out of the splashed liquid, and like facehuggers, they launched indiscriminate attacks on all living creatures around them.As the center of the liquid, Steppenwolf received special attention.

The bodies of these octopuses are filled with greasy mucus, which reduces friction and makes their bodies extremely tough.Especially the sharp teeth scattered all over the body, after blooming like chrysanthemums, biting hard on the armor of Steppenwolf.There are also some small octopuses that use suction cups to firmly suck the skin when they are close to the face, and their tentacles persevere in the eyes, mouth, oral cavity and other parts of the Steppenwolf.

crunch.

The armor on Steppenwolf's body was torn apart by the sharp teeth of the octopus, and the smooth surface was covered with pits, some of which were corroded by the liquid, and some were bitten by the teeth.The metal used by Apokolips to forge artifacts and equipment cannot be completely defended against the bites of the octopuses.

Feeling the burning sensation on his skin, Steppenwolf's hand grabbed an octopus lying on his left face. The other's tentacles were working together to open his eyelids, and then thrust the tentacles into his eye sockets.The other two were fighting against his closed teeth.

An octopus flew out from Steppenwolf's face with splashes of blood, and there was a piece of flesh on the sucker of the thrown octopus's tentacles.The wounded Steppenwolf seemed to stimulate the octopuses even more. Before, they were squirming and running on the ground, choosing the nearest creature. Now they were jumping and jumping towards the Steppenwolf like a flash.

Steppenwolf waved his hand to form an airtight [wall] around him, and octopuses that rushed towards him were constantly knocked away by him, but there were still other octopuses that rushed towards him one after another.A whale would explode into bloody water if hit by Steppenwolf's fist, but each octopus acted as if nothing had happened, bouncing on the ground a few times, shaking its head, and then charged again.

If you zoom in, the entire fleet is in complete chaos.The soldiers of Apokolips encountered disaster almost instantly.The ship's protective power was broken through without any effect at all, and then the companions whose minds were distorted and whose bodies had not yet followed the distortion directly launched a sneak attack on them.

Internal fighting.

The cannon roared.

The huge fleet was rapidly being destroyed from the inside out at a disintegrating speed.Almost no one was spared from the close-range battle between fleet weapons, and brilliant fireworks flashed one after another in the dark starry sky.It was pushing towards the fleet group like a wave.

The mothership where Steppenwolf was located had been avoided from being attacked by other ships, but its situation at the moment was even worse.A huge octopus was clinging to the outside of the mothership. The elite soldiers brought by Steppenwolf inside were completely wiped out in this short moment.Only one Apokolips fleet commander, Steppenwolf, is left alive.

But Steppenwolf was also in a very embarrassing state at the moment. It was endless. More and more octopuses almost formed a pile of octopuses, pressing him firmly below.And new octopuses are constantly coming from all directions to join in.

The terrifying devouring power continuously weakened Steppenwolf's physical strength. What was even more terrifying and even more unbearable for Steppenwolf were the whispers that kept ringing deep in his heart.

Noisy, but it seems to contain a powerful mystery.

Steppenwolf knew that he should block this voice, but the very bewildering mystery forced him to keep listening.His mind is being corroded bit by bit.

His thinking gradually began to change from resistance to vigilance, and finally to listening.The whole process was reversed and he didn't think there was any problem.Even though his intuition was still frantically sounding the alarm to him, a layer of mental wall blurred his perception, isolating the dangerous alarms brought by his body and crisis senses.

Amid the mysterious and vague confusion of sounds, Steppenwolf thought of his current master, Darkseid.

Apokolips is a planet full of evil deeds. They are born with powerful power, vigorous life, and accumulated powerful technology.Since the birth of Apokolips, they have conquered countless worlds and civilizations, and have powerful technologies from conquered civilizations across the universe.There are very few forces in the entire universe that can compare with the strength of the entire Apokolips.

They admire power, especially the mysterious power that was born with the universe and transcends the universe.They try to master that power and make their own strength even further.Conquer, crush, and destroy all obstacles that stand in their way.

They are the new gods of the new era!
Whether it is his brother, Zonos, who is known as the most powerful new god of Apokolips, that is, Yuga Khan, or his son, Uxas, the new king of Apokolips, who succeeds to the throne Darkseid, father and son, are walking on this path personally.

Yuga Khan wanted to explore the power of the Wall of Origin, but in vain, and he was trapped in the Wall of Origin.But no one in Apokolips shouted the slogan of saving him in the past.

The second son Darkseid, after snatching the power of the Omega Effect from his brother, began his own journey to find other powerful powers.

Of course, Darkseid did not glimpse the power of the Wall of Origin.He knew that his power was not as good as his father Yuga Khan, so his goal was in another direction from beginning to end.

Fortunately for Darkseid, he successfully found an extremely powerful force that could rival the Omega Effect, namely the Anti-Life Equation!
This power allowed Apokolips to successfully become the extremely powerful new race of gods today.With countless living puppets and powerful servants, no one can truly resist Darkseid's power.With this power, he jumped up and truly snatched the power from his mother and relatives.

It was precisely because he, Steppenwolf, realized this that he joined Darkseid and obeyed his orders.

He obeys the strong, the ultimate winner!
But that doesn't mean Steppenwolf is loyal to Darkseid.In the absence of external forces and opportunities, he may serve Darkseid forever, conquering worlds one after another for him, destroying civilizations one after another, just to increase cannon fodder, while also searching for those possibilities for him. The mysterious power of existence.

But at the moment, his thinking was involuntarily deflected: Why can't he kill Darkseid and replace him as the new king of Apokolips?

No, no, no, Darkseid is too powerful. He also holds two earth-shattering powers, the Anti-Life Equation and the Omega Effect. He is powerless against either one, not to mention that Darkseid can still Use a mix of the two.

Steppenwolf had an absurd and bold idea in his mind, but he was quickly extinguished by his own reason and fear of Darkseid.He didn't want to die.What are you afraid of?You have gained my power, you no longer have to be afraid of him!You will successfully defeat him!Defeat him!Let him kneel before you and respectfully call you his master.Don't you want to see this happen?Oh, you shake your head, but your mind is more honest than your body!You want to do it, you want to do it crazily and desperately!You want to return everything he has done to you and the humiliation he has done to you intact.Stop struggling, come and fall into my arms!

You will gain the power you have dreamed of, and you will achieve your longed-for wishes!As long as you give up resistance, you can get all of this!Come on, stop struggling!Let us become one and use my power as you wish!
The bewitching voice kept hitting Steppenwolf's mental barrier.Under the bewitching words that go straight to the heart, Steppenwolf's octopus-covered face showed a look of hesitation and struggle, and the wall of his mind was crumbling, as if it would collapse completely in the next moment.

A strange and powerful force was injected into Steppenwolf's body through the octopus on his body, endlessly.He felt himself becoming stronger every minute and every second, and felt that every minute and every second was his new life.His body was so swollen and painful from the influx of huge power, but soon, his new god's body continued to collapse under the pressure, healed again, and then adapted to the new power influxing into his body.

Back and forth.

In the end, Steppenwolf even liked this feeling of pain and happiness.For someone like him who also pursues strength and victory, if simply bearing pain can bring him a substantial increase in strength, he is willing to soak in the ocean of pain for a long time.

As a result, Steppenwolf's struggling and resisting mentality became even weaker, and dense cracks appeared in the wall of his soul like when glass breaks.The next moment, when Steppenwolf completely gave up resistance, a huge eye suddenly appeared above his mind, like the sun in the planetary system, its light blocked the sky.

Black traces appeared on Steppenwolf's body, and a complex pattern between his eyebrows was outlined with a stroke of high-temperature iron wire, shining with dark light.

Just when Steppenwolf was about to fall completely, and his mind was completely distorted and harvested by the owner of the eyes, another powerful force, similar to the power of the owner of the eyes, suddenly emerged from the depths of Steppenwolf's mind, and entered The eye octopuses at the core of Steppenwolf's mind collided and fought.

Invisible spiritual storms raged in Steppenwolf's spiritual sea, hurricanes set sail, and tsunamis shook.Steppenwolf's mind sea, which was used as a battlefield, instantly entered a doomsday-like scene.

The forehead was suddenly interrupted with the pattern of power marks outlined by the stroke of the pen. Threads of fine blood beads soaked under Steppenwolf's skin, and these blood beads were quickly devoured by the octopus crawling on his body.

Steppenwolf, whose head was so swollen and bursting with pain, finally regained the senses of his body. The sense of crisis between life and death, as well as the sense of exhaustion caused by the violent loss of body strength, further amplified the fear in his heart.

He felt that he was simply unlucky!After regrouping and leading the army, they originally wanted to engage in a beautiful battle of revenge.As a result, the expected enemy was attacked by a sudden monster before they could see it. The heavy losses should be considered to be light. The annihilation of the entire army may be more realistic.

But this time, he brought not only consumable demons, but also a large number of Apokolips tribesmen.In any case, his action this time can be said to be a failure among failures.

He won't get another chance.

Maybe Darkseid won't kill him, but he will definitely assign him a task that he can't complete and let him die.

The power of that monster is too terrifying, specifically attacking people's hearts and spirits.As long as you have the slightest bit of relaxation and mental loopholes, you will be covered and invaded by the all-pervasive spiritual power of the other party, and then accumulate advantages like a snowball, making you fall into the other party's mental trap without knowing it, and hand over your soul. .

Being close to the opponent's vast will, he even had a strange perception, that is, the opponent did not care about his strength or life and death, but only regarded him as a marked good prey. The opponent just wanted to lure him into depravity and corrupt him. As for what he did after he became corrupted?The other party doesn't care or care.After he dies, his soul, as well as all the information and experiences imprinted in his soul, will be devoured and digested by the other party as food.

A powerful person like him is very popular with the opponent.It is an excellent hunting ingredient in the opponent's recipe.

If the sudden force inside his body hadn't awakened him, he would have been unaware of any abnormal depravity and would eventually become what the monster wanted.

As for the source of the body's power to fight monsters, Steppenwolf also has certain speculations.

Anti-life equation!

Darkseid didn't know when the power was imprinted on his soul.This may be the reason why even if he doesn't feel loyal, he still can't resist any order given by Darkseid.

The current collision of the two forces made his spiritual world feel like it was cracking and swelling, but it also allowed him to regain his own free will.

boom!
An ax whirled back from the depths of the void and hit the deck in front of Steppenwolf heavily.The powerful impact and high temperature of the flames instantly blew away a large number of octopus piles.The shapeless Steppenwolf staggered to stabilize his body, stepped forward and grabbed his own axe. The power contained in the ax body was replenished in his depleted body in an instant.

Suddenly, Steppenwolf looked towards the depths of the starry sky revealed after the mothership was torn apart, and a blazing flash of light came towards him from far to near.

It was a hammer. The dark center of the hammer's head looked like a black hole that swallowed up all light and matter, and was surrounded by the rotating halo of large galaxies.

Looking at the hammer, Steppenwolf vaguely saw a galactic galaxy rushing towards him. (End of chapter)
