Although Steppenwolf told Savage that the mother box would be fully activated in three days, just as he lied to Lex Luthor, he didn't tell Savage the truth either.
In fact, two days later, the mother box was already only one step away from activation.
And Victor Stone, who was most closely connected to the mother box, was the first to discover its abnormality. He immediately told Dane about it.
"Shazam! I feel the mother box's power is more active than ever; it has reached its critical point!"
Dane immediately summoned Cortana: "Cortana, now, immediately lift the iron curtain set by the mother box! Let the World's network return to your control!"
Cortana immediately said, "I need Victor Stone's electronic consciousness to cooperate!"
Victor Stone immediately responded, "I'm ready at any time!"
So Cortana's eyes lit up, and countless data streams flashed through her eyes.
Victor Stone also entered the network World under the action of electromagnetic waves, joining forces with Cortana to attack the "iron curtain" left by the mother box in the digital World.
And now the mother box was in the process of the "Trinity" protocol, with no spare capacity to resist the attack of two top electronic consciousnesses.
Thus, the electronic war that lasted three days and three nights in the Dream World only took a short five minutes in the Real World, and the "iron curtain" set by the mother box was officially broken!
The moment the "iron curtain" broke, Cortana immediately took control of Gotham's power grid, cutting off the power supply to the area where the mother box was located.
"No—!"
Steppenwolf was furious. It was just a little bit away, just a tiny bit, and the energy supply was cut off in the last few minutes!
But he still had a way!
Steppenwolf could temporarily supply his own energy to the mother box to complete this final step.
But the difficulties he needed to face were just beginning, because the Justice League was coming!
He felt the spatial fluctuations, a sign that a teleportation device was activating.
Steppenwolf's expression immediately changed, and he immediately roared at the mother box: "Summon our army!"
The light on the mother box flashed, and Boom Tubes descended from the sky, bringing a continuous stream of Parademons to S.T.A.R. Labs.
And he himself, without hesitation, took the mother box and entered the Boom Tube.
At the same time, Dane, along with the Justice League, also appeared inside S.T.A.R. Labs. As soon as he came out, he saw Steppenwolf trying to escape again.
"How could I possibly let you escape this time?"
Dane was the first to fly out, reacting faster than anyone else.
Before leaving, Dane's voice echoed in the minds of all the members.
"While I'm gone, everyone listens to Batman's command!"
Clark was likely distracted by Lois's situation, so Dane decisively handed command over to Batman.
After saying this, Dane chased Steppenwolf into the Boom Tube and vanished, so quickly that even Superman didn't react in time.
Batman calmly said, "Shazam will handle things over there. Now, everyone in the Justice League, eliminate the enemies here first!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wonder Woman, unable to restrain herself, charged out, slaughtering the Parademons.
The other members followed suit, engaging the Parademons in battle.
However, the number of Parademons this time was enormous; even with the heroes fighting with all their might, more Parademons broke through S.T.A.R. Labs' defenses and scattered in all directions towards Gotham City.
Although Steppenwolf had only opened the Boom Tube for a few seconds, his Parademon Army was overwhelming, like a swarm of locusts.
These were natives Steppenwolf had captured while conquering other Worlds in the past, transforming them into these self-less weapons of war.
Their individual combat strength might not be strong, but with their seemingly endless numbers, they temporarily suppressed the Justice League.
Batman finally understood why Dane was willing to expend so much effort to bring Atlantis and the Amazons into the allied forces; with the Justice League's numbers alone, they couldn't possibly stop these "locusts"!
So he couldn't help but shout at Aquaman, "Arthur—!"
Arthur heard his call and immediately understood. He held the golden trident with both hands in front of his chest, concentrating his mind to summon the power of the Seven Seas.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, slammed the golden trident onto the ground, and a massive Impact shattered the earth beneath his feet.
From the shattered cracks, countless seawater gushed out, instantly turning into Riptide that spread outwards.
In just a few minutes, the seawater submerged the nearby streets, connecting with the Water of Gotham Harbor not far away.
And in those waters, countless underwater warships suddenly appeared, emitting colorful lights that illuminated Gotham Harbor in a dazzling display.
Atlanna, fully armored, raised her five-pronged trident and fired at the Parademons flying in the sky!
"Atlantis—! Attack!"
Rays of light from countless hydro-ion weapons shot into the sky, covering all the Parademons like a barrage, making their air superiority a joke.
The Atlanteans might miss some, but no Parademon in the sky would survive!
Forced into a corner, the Parademons could only fly at low altitudes, seizing every opportunity to find a way to defeat the Atlanteans.
However, from the sewers on the ground, a group of terrifying Trench suddenly leaped out. They were even more frightening than the Parademons, and even more bloodthirsty and insane.
Many of the low-flying Parademons were dragged into the sewers by them and ferociously devoured, just as the Parademons treated humans. It was truly a case of the tables turning.
Seeing this, Diana was not content to let Atlantis take all the glory, so she immediately called Cortana.
"Cortana, bring the Amazons over!"
"Understood, my lady."
Cortana replied and activated her teleportation magic, but it wasn't the Amazon Army that appeared.
Zeus's divine barrier was still beyond her magical ability to break, and her dream divine power needed to maintain the World-level dream operation, so she couldn't spare a hand. However, she had already found other methods.
Through the teleportation light, Zatanna arrived in Gotham with the Three Goddesses from the divine realm.
"This is truly a terrible city."
Calypso looked at the dim sky and felt the damp air around her, somewhat puzzled.
What kind of freaks would live in this city?
The eldest sister, Hespera, frowned at the Parademons in the sky: "No wonder you sought our help; these are the Dark Lord's minions!"
Zatanna emphasized, "This isn't a request, it's a transaction!"
"To me, it is a request!" Hespera lifted her head high, still as proud as ever.
After eating the golden apple, she now looked even younger than her sister Calypso, giving her a confident demeanor.
Calypso secretly cast an envious and jealous glance, but Hespera didn't notice.
Zatanna simply ignored them and turned to the third goddess, the very quiet Anthea.
"Anthea, I'll trouble you with this."
Here, this was probably the easiest goddess to talk to, never causing trouble.
Anthea nodded and raised her hands.
Divine magic could only be broken by divine power. Although Cortana couldn't spare a hand, she had found an alternative helper.
Anthea, who still remembered her Axis Force?
She activated her divine power. Thanks to the restoration of the Tree of Life, she had gradually regained her strength during this time and could now do things she couldn't before.
With Cortana's help, Anthea instantly located Themyscira. There, a disciplined Amazon Army had been waiting for a long time.
Hippolyta was the first to sense Anthea's divine power. She immediately called out to her Soldiers.
"Amazons, prepare!"
All the warriors immediately stood ready.
Anthea activated the Axis Force. Within seconds, she pulled Themyscira to her current location, connecting it with the land of Gotham City.
"Holy. Shit!" The Flash Barry was running on the road and almost got hit head-on by Themyscira.
"An island almost hit me in the face! Guys, can you believe it?!"
Green Lantern Hal, in the air, helped Barry take down a Parademon sniper attempting to ambush him, and couldn't help but curse:
"Barry, don't stop! Run!"
So Barry quickly started running again, turning into a Flash that sped along the road, knocking down the Parademons in his path like bowling pins.
At this moment, Hippolyta and Antiope quickly understood the situation and pointed their swords at the Parademons.
"Amazons—!"
With that, she charged out on her warhorse, followed by countless long-legged Amazon female warriors roaring behind her, slaughtering the Parademons with their gleaming divine weapons.
And those divine weapons, which required sustained combat, were linked to the divine power of the Three Goddesses of the divine realm. They would continuously provide energy to these weapons during the battle. (The money for it)
"Amazons, and Atlanteans, who would have thought?" Hespera remarked with emotion.
This was the first time these two races had reunited and cooperated since the Golden Age, wasn't it?
"If they weren't greedily drawing power from us, perhaps my impression of them would be better."
Calypso had a look of disgust, but this was part of the deal. Even if she didn't like it, she couldn't resist.
With the addition of the Amazon and Atlantean Armies, the Parademons no longer held a numerical advantage.
And their lack of command was fully exposed at this point, as they were suppressed by the allied forces of the Justice League and the other two races.
On the human side, led by Martian Manhunter, they also arrived. Of course, he was commanding the Army in his human identity.
"General Swanwick, all ship-borne missiles are in position. Targets have been locked onto all alien creatures codenamed Parademon."
Martian Manhunter immediately said, "Fire!"
Thus, in the offshore waters of Gotham Harbor, countless ship-borne missiles ascended, like Rockets. As they plummeted towards Gotham, they resembled meteors, delivering a heavy blow to the countless Parademons lingering on the outskirts of the battlefield.
Gotham City had already been enveloped in a dream by Cortana again when she lifted the "Iron Curtain," so Martian Manhunter could unleash the Navy's firepower without restraint.
He wanted to vent the frustration he had suffered at Doomsday's hands a few days ago!
