Chapter 289 - Chapter 288: United, We Resist the External Enemy

Victor Stone was responsible for debugging all electronic equipment, while Cortana focused on expanding the power of the dream.

With such division of labor, efficiency was greatly improved, and in just a moment, Cortana's power quickly spread across the entire Earth.

Even Dream Lord Morpheus was startled by this power.

"What's going on?"

When he cast his gaze towards Earth, he found that an extraterrestrial war was ~ happening there.

And the dream stone he had given to Dane back then had now become the core of a new Dream God – his face twitched slightly.

Morpheus had been busy rebuilding the Dream Kingdom lately and hadn't paid attention to Earth for a long time.

Thinking that he and Earth also had a fateful connection, he couldn't help but extend his divine power towards Earth. He swore, he was only doing it out of instinct.

In the past, when he was the Supreme Dream God, he would often cast his gaze upon the mortal realm, and never once did he encounter an obstruction.

But this time, he did.

Although Hell and Earth are not contiguous in real space, they are adjacent in dimensional structure.

So when Morpheus's power quietly entered Earth, Hell suddenly had a reactive response. This place was no longer ownerless; it was Dane's playground.

And the power of the Demon God left by Dane here did not immediately recognize that it was the Dream's power, so it very irritably sent out a signal that only gods could receive: Get out!

So, for the first time in his life, Morpheus's power was unceremoniously kicked out of Earth!

"What. The. Hell...?"

Even a good-tempered Morpheus couldn't help but curse. When did such a temperamental god appear in Hell?

So he stared, and good heavens, it was you, Dane, you bastard!

But Dane's primary consciousness was on Earth and completely ignored him.

Morpheus could only suppress his anger and cast his curious gaze upon Earth.

If my power can't get in, then I'll just watch from outside, that should be fine, right?

The little interlude between Morpheus and the Hell Demon God did not affect events on Earth.

With Victor Stone's assistance, Cortana completed dream coverage for eighty percent of the global area.

She was powerless to cover the remaining twenty percent. Some more primitive areas had no network coverage or mobile facilities, so Cortana could only hope they wouldn't be unlucky enough to encounter Doomsday.

And she quickly located the Doomsdays scattered across the World and immediately sent the location information to Victor Stone.

Victor Stone then quickly contacted military and political officials around the World in the guise of Lex Luthor, instructing the already prepared Army to quickly organize and march together to the battlefield to meet Doomsday!

But Dane knew that these human armies could at most buy them time. To truly deal with these guys, he would have to rely on his backup plan or the backup left by Batman.

He didn't believe Batman hadn't updated his files on dealing with Kryptonians.

So he immediately contacted Batman, who was commanding operations in Gotham:

"Batman, there are approximately a thousand Doomsdays scattered around the World. I will have Cortana and Anthea arrange as quickly as possible to gather these guys in one place.

Therefore, you only have one chance to annihilate all these Doomsdays. When you are ready with the weapon, give me the signal."

After speaking, Dane hung up the communication and flew towards Steppenwolf, grabbing him and giving him a fierce beating, leaving him completely unable to fight back.

But when he looked back, he found that the three mother boxes had unknowingly merged into one, almost becoming a single entity!

Steppenwolf looked disheveled, but he didn't care, and sneered, "You're still one step too late!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mother box's "Trinity" protocol was officially completed. In an instant, they merged into one, emitting a strong white light.

If things continued this way, everything would be like in the movie, completely destroying the entire Earth, and finally, Barry would activate the Speed Force to reverse time and turn the tide.

But how could Dane gamble his fate on others?

He looked at Steppenwolf in his hand and sneered, "Did you forget? In the World of dreams, all rules are under my control, including time!"

So, with a single thought from Dane, the decomposing light emanating from the mother box instantly stopped, then retracted back into the box.

The mother box, which had already merged into one, also showed the flaws it had before merging. Steppenwolf returned to his state from a few seconds ago, still saying the line, "You're still too late... Wait, how is this possible!"

Steppenwolf instantly understood that time had been reversed. He gasped, a power he had never heard of before!

However, these mere few seconds consumed a large amount of dream stone power.

To rewind a divine artifact like the mother box through time required a significant amount of energy. If it weren't for the entire World's population replenishing the dream stone's consumption, Cortana might not even be able to maintain such a large-scale dream.

But these few seconds were already enough!

Dane activated double Speed Force, dragging Steppenwolf to the mother box, while Steppenwolf was completely defenseless.

Dane placed his hand on the mother box and uttered the most powerful incantation: "Shazam!"

Gathering the power of many divine systems within him, the power of this lightning was incredibly potent!

In the Golden Age, Zeus's divine power could independently cleave the mother box's unified field, and the War God's divine power was enough to cleave Darkseid's hard skin, penetrating deep into his bones.

And these two powers, which had once defeated the mother box and its Master, were now concentrated within Dane, with even more Old Gods' power participating!

The divine lightning thus formed could not even be resisted by the mother box's unified field. A loud bang echoed in the sky, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded.

The immense lightning instantly shattered the mother box's power, splitting it into three.

And the power of the lightning continued downwards, striking not only Dane but also Steppenwolf.

The active metal on his body instantly died, exposing his iron-gray skin to the air. Steppenwolf let out a miserable howl, and his massive body was instantly stripped of all vitality by this unparalleled lightning bolt.

Dane didn't need to deliver a second blow; Steppenwolf was directly turned into a corpse by this single attack, with no possibility of survival.

Dane backhanded his corpse into his inventory.

In Gotham, after Batman received Dane's message, he immediately handed over command of the battlefield to Wonder Woman, then he himself flew quickly towards the Batcave in his jet.

In the jet, Batman called his butler: "Alfred, prepare that thing!"

"But, Master Wayne, Master Kent is also there."

"Clark will be fine, he'll just suffer a little. Now, the most important thing is to completely deal with those monsters!"

Alfred no longer tried to persuade him and immediately went to prepare: "I understand, as you wish..."

Along the way, many Parademons flew to chase his jet, but they were all shot down by Red Hood and the Amazon archers on the ground.

However, there were still many Parademons in the sky. Before sending Doomsday to various parts of the World, the mother box had also sent more Parademons to this World.

Not only Gotham, but other Worlds also saw the appearance of Parademon armies simultaneously.

And superhero organizations and official armies around the World also took action, cooperating with each other to launch a counterattack against the Parademon armies.

Under Victor Stone's coordination and the call of the Justice League, they temporarily put aside their differences and jointly faced the alien threat.

In this war, many superheroes who appeared before the World for the first time emerged. They had no organization but spontaneously began to resist the Parademon invasion.

And more metahumans began to encounter Doomsday, buying valuable time for the Army to deploy.

Just as Dane had previously envisioned, under the threat of an external enemy, the World temporarily formed a unified front.

All policies that were beneficial to defeating the opponent were quickly passed and then reflected on the battlefield.

Parademons armies around the World were all subjected to attacks from the Earth coalition forces in different ways. Their weakness of not having a Commander once again was fully exposed to humanity.

Although they initially brought some disaster to various places, they were immediately met with counterattacks from countries around the World.

It must be said that while humans' individual abilities are no match for Parademons, in terms of long-range strikes and precision guidance, they appear far more advanced than Parademons.

It's unclear where Steppenwolf got the confidence to mock the Amazons' outdated tactics; his Parademon Army was actually not much better.

They hadn't even seen the human Army's Soldiers before being covered by overwhelming artillery fire.

Even if some were missed, they would be killed by the endless stream of superheroes..
