American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 396 Surrender, Restriction, and Torture
Boom!
Da Yin Xisheng.

The blazing light and heat engulfed the entire mothership in an instant.Although the hammer did not hit Steppenwolf, it directly turned his ship into nothingness.

The energy generated by the collision swept across the surrounding void in an instant, and the fleet guarding the mothership was torn and shattered under the energy impact.

The area of ​​the universe with the mothership as the center instantly vacated a circle of nothingness.The broken fragments of the fleet turned into garbage and dust floating in the universe under the impact of the energy release.

A scream full of rage suddenly turned into a spiritual storm from the center of the explosion and swept around. Metal fragments and high-temperature flames were suppressed in an instant.

The huge body of the big octopus that was affected for no reason was shaken out for a long distance in the void.Several tentacles several kilometers long were flapping randomly in the void, trying to stabilize his retreating body.There were ripples in the space around it, one after another, as if they were serving as a buffer and support for it.

A tentacle drooped down softly, moving the surrounding space feebly.

A bolt of thunder meandered from the distance, the light dispersed, and Thor appeared on the battlefield wearing a red cloak and armor.

He opened his hand in the direction of the mothership. The hammer that caused a big explosion and swept across the entire fleet around the Apokolips mothership flew back in reverse rotation and followed the original path under a mysterious call. It happened to be held in the palm of Thor's open hand.

"You're hurting it!" A somewhat dissatisfied female voice sounded in the void. Little Becky saw his injured big octopus pouting, his face full of displeasure.

Distressed?
Not too distressed.

But I felt inexplicably unhappy.

"Sorry. I will apologize to it." Thor scratched his scalp with his free hand and looked a little embarrassed.It had been a long time since he had used his strength to fight an enemy. His blood boiled for a moment, and he threw the hammer away with itching hands.

Fortunately, he cannot yet exert the full power of the Star Swirl Hammer in his hand. Otherwise, not to mention this area, even the solar system, would probably be inevitably affected.This is a disaster for the humans there.

"Come out quickly, I know you're not dead yet!" Thor looked at a certain place in the void and rushed over with excitement on his face.

Boom!
The hammer body of the Star Swirl Hammer fell on a tilted axe, and Steppenwolf revealed himself from the void, using the body of the Skyshattering Ax as a shield to block Thor's attack.

The raging energy burst separated the two people at the same time.The Steppenwolf, who flew away in embarrassment for a long distance, looked warily at Thor in front of him, who had a particularly strong desire to fight.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me!" Steppenwolf shouted: "Don't you know what you are doing? The fleet that attacks Apokolips will bring annihilation to you, your family, and civilization. disaster!"

"If you can do it, you are welcome to visit Asgard!" Thor did not care about the threat of Steppenwolf.

Will your family and civilization be in danger?
Except for Loki's younger brother who may be a little weaker and who has experienced the epic level enhancement of Odin's lineage, Thor doesn't think this person in front of him can beat anyone.

"Asgard? It should have been destroyed! I destroyed it with my own hands!" Steppenwolf's eyes widened in disbelief, but then he seemed to realize something, looking at Toto who was flashing with thunder and lightning. Er, suddenly realized and shouted: "Are you an Asgardian from another universe? Control the thunder, hold the hammer, are you Thor?"

Thor was delighted to see Hunter and rushed forward again with his hammer.

The figures of the two men flickered and moved in the void, and the energy shock waves formed by the collision of weapons continued to be vented into the surrounding void along with their wandering figures.

With a little bit of extra force, Thor was certainly able to fight vigorously, and his muscles and bones became much more relaxed.Steppenwolf on the other side was in a very bad state.He had only experienced a severe trauma in his spiritual world before. Although he managed to escape by luck, his head was still a little swollen and painful.

As for physical injuries?His new god physique and strong vitality made him not care about his injuries.No matter how injured he is, it is difficult for him to die and he recovers extremely quickly.So to a certain extent, he is the least afraid of close combat with people.

However, the Thor in front of him is an alien!Every attack from the opponent was so powerful that it would make his whole body tremble. The thunder that struck his body would also make his body feel numb and helpless at the same time.Although this feeling is relatively mild, when his strength is already at a disadvantage, this little bit of negative state is enough to make him look dangerous.

"That's Steppenwolf?" Superman and others who came over later saw the two people flashing and colliding in the void. They recognized Thor in the thunder package, and the one who was fighting with Thor. They are people who are so impressed that they cannot be forgotten.

"Are all the Asgardian protoss over there so powerful?" Diana looked at the strange mage Stephen who brought them here with a look of surprise on her face.She knew Thor was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong!Steppenwolf, who originally thought they needed their combined efforts to fight, was now being suppressed and beaten by Thor alone.

Although her strength was not as good as the two fighting men, Diana never lacked in combat experience and vision.She could even keep up with Thor's speed and see every detail of the battle.So she could clearly see Steppenwolf's embarrassment and helplessness.

"Not all Asgardian protoss are powerful." Stephen thought of a fraudulent mage who relied heavily on equipment and treasures.At least Loki seemed to be able to bully anyone without any equipment.Of course, the fact that the bloodline of Loki in their world comes from Raul, King of the Frost Giants, rather than from Odin, may play a large part in it?

"Then our world will be safe?" Hal Jordan, clad in green light, asked with a somewhat complicated mood and some joy.

Complex was a powerful enemy that he drove away after seeing them unite. At this moment, he was being suppressed and beaten by Thor. It showed that Luke's line was powerful, but it also dealt a heavy blow to their self-confidence.

He was already considering whether to unite with some people to persuade Bruce to stop trying to find the power to fight Luke and the others.The opponent's strength has obviously exceeded their imagined specifications.At present, everyone is very happy to cooperate, and there is no need to cause some hidden dangers of distrust due to some fears.

To put it bluntly, if Luke really wanted to do something to them, Thanos would be enough to destroy them.The reason they survived until the end was because Thanos achieved his obsession, then gave up resistance and chose self-sacrifice.What's more, it also attracted surveillance and attacks from other powerful people in the universe.

"Steppenwolf is just a striker." Diana glanced at Hal and reminded him: "What we really need to face in the end is Darkseid behind Steppenwolf, and the new gods and Apokolips under his control. .”

"what!"

Forced into a desperate situation, Steppenwolf completely let go of his defenses and swung the Earthshattering Ax in his hand tightly, trying to get hit by the hammer that made him feel frightened. Also struck with an axe.

As a result of the injury, Steppenwolf succeeded in hitting Thor with his axe, and the powerful power contained in the ax body that could destroy a planet was released in an instant.Thor was sent flying directly.

But his condition is more serious and miserable than Thor's.He felt that all the bones in his body were turned into powder in an instant, and his flesh and blood turned into a ball of minced meat.Most of his body exploded into a bloody mist. The only thing that looked like it had any shape was his head, a small half of his upper body, and a noodle-like curved arm that was still holding the ax handle tightly. .

Steppenwolf has never been as weak as he is at this moment. His strong vitality, invulnerability and toughness, coupled with his near-immortality, have given him a huge advantage in previous battles, except for a very few people. .Even if there is delay, he will be the one standing at the end.

But the force of that hammer's explosion was too powerful. It was obviously just a simple bombardment by a hammer, but it had a mass far exceeding that of a star.

Steppenwolf vaguely felt that there was a more powerful and terrifying power inside the hammer, but its user did not fully release it.If the power inside the hammer explodes to half, he can't guarantee what will be left in him, and will he really be able to survive?

"He's still recovering." Clark said with a deep look in his eyes as he looked at Steppenwolf, whose flesh and blood were constantly growing and recovering his missing limbs.

Steppenwolf's body reorganized bit by bit, and in just a moment, the soles of his feet reappeared, stepping on the void.Steppenwolf tore off the incomplete armor on his body and casually tied it around his waist. The strong muscles gradually supported his body again, and the tough skin that was propped up resisted various rays in the universe.The broken armor turned into golden liquid and began to crawl all over his body again.

"I surrender!"

While waiting for him to recover completely and the familiar thunder fall from the sky again, Steppenwolf shouted with his eyes closed.

In his opinion, this battle has entered a boring stage. No matter how hard he struggles and resists, it will definitely end in failure.

After failing the same mission twice in a row, even if he could escape, what awaited him would be torture, imprisonment, or death.

His current spiritual will was freed by luck, so based on his nature, or the nature of the entire New God of Apokolips, he is not a virtuous life.He will never be loyal to anyone, but he will obey the orders of the powerful and victorious.

Essentially, he is a speculator!
Just as he had resolutely changed the family, sided with Darkseid, and helped him become the new king of Apokolips along the way, now he felt that he, who had no choice, seemed to have returned to the stage where he needed to make a bet.

The thunder that fell from the sky staggered, curved in a huge arc, and dodged past Steppenwolf.Thor, who stabilized his body, turned his head and looked dissatisfied at Steppenwolf, who had his hands raised and even put down his axe.

He really wanted to continue the warm-up fight with Steppenwolf, but it was obvious that the other party no longer wanted to continue.

"Pinch it open." Halfway through the fight, Thor, who had only just become enthusiastic, threw out a black box and threw it to Steppenwolf, who gave up resistance.

Steppenwolf reached out and grabbed the box, giving it a squeeze as Thor instructed.The seemingly solid black box suddenly turned into streaks of black liquid, shaping into a black bracelet on Steppenwolf's wrist.

Immediately, Steppenwolf felt that the power in his body was suppressed and blocked by another force.He could sense the existence of his own power, but found that he could not release his power freely no matter what.

He was now a strong punching bag with the physique of a new god.Not to mention Thor, it was the defeated generals on the other side who were watching him with eager eyes. He had no temper to bully anyone who came out.

This method of restraint shocked Steppenwolf.He tentatively tugged on the black bracelet on his wrist, feeling like it was pulling on his own skin.The other party has become a part of his body, and if he wants to take it off, it seems that he must cut off part of his own limbs.But Steppenwolf doubted that even if he cut off the limb where the bracelet was located, he might not be able to truly be freed.

While being led by Thor towards the direction of the crowd, Steppenwolf had a new change in his judgment of this outsider force. The opponent not only had great strength and powerful monsters, but also had incredible technology!After all, just a bracelet can block the whole body power of a new god. This is not something ordinary technology can do.

In particular, Steppenwolf's keen intuition felt that there was still a certain power hidden in the bracelet that made his heart palpitate. Once he dared to use destructive means to forcefully break it, that power would explode immediately.Steppenwolf doesn't know what this hidden power is, but his intuition just tells him that it is very dangerous. Once it breaks out, even if he is close to immortality, he will not be spared.

After all, Steppenwolf knows very well that sometimes living is a life worse than death.

"Tell us, where are Apokolips and Darkseid?"

When Thor returned to the team with Steppenwolf, Diana couldn't wait to ask.Their original plan was to obtain Darkseid's whereabouts and the location of Apokolips from the next invader, and then collect intelligence based on the situation and determine the battlefield.

In any case, they are unwilling to have another war break out in their homeland.

And Thor and Stephen have no objection to this.They also need to clean up this trouble once and for all, so Diana's plan is consistent with Stephen's.
