Chapter 190 Steppenwolf, Justice League
"This... How is this possible..."
Kara collapsed to the ground, her body limp, and her entire worldview was shattered.
She was first hoisted up by Lucas, and after experiencing a dizzying spin, she arrived in outer space.
Then Lucas crossed the Universe with his physical body.
He tore through the cosmic membranes layer by layer, during which Kara saw dinosaurs, ancient Kryptonians, and the Source Wall...
Everything she saw with her own eyes shook her concepts.
She had the history of the Kryptonian in her head, but even so, she had never seen an existence like Lucas who could cross the Universe with his physical body?
This is already a god!
"How is it? The sights along this way are quite spectacular!"
Although Lucas looked relaxed, he was actually striding forward, running as fast as he could.
Just now.
He was teleported to the DC Universe by the system, but he needed to traverse a few more Universes, leave some traces, and then precisely lock onto Henry-Superman’s Universe.
This could buy a lot of time.
Once the mother box was in hand, he would never have to come over here again.
"When do you plan to put me down?"
Kara’s stomach hurt from being propped up by Lucas.
Even though she was already of steel, the body density of the man holding her was on another level.
"Just bear with it for now. Now is not the time to relax, but we can change positions."
Lucas carried Kara with a single arm, holding the short-haired Supergirl horizontally against his chest.
Kara instinctively grabbed Lucas’s neck.
The tips of her ears instantly turned slightly red.
"Uh, I actually think... that way just now was pretty good too..."
"Alright, lady, you’ve already been upgraded from the trunk to the passenger seat. What more are you unsatisfied with? Did you know a seated ticket is more expensive than a standing ticket?"
Lucas focused on the journey ahead.
But to be honest, Supergirl’s figure was really nice—slender and well-proportioned, with sharp short hair, paired with a bomb-like scale, it simply had the aesthetic of a female Viltrumite.
But she was a bit more delicate, and her personality lacked a bit of fierceness.
Female Viltrumites were truly terrifying.
An intimate ride!
Lucas didn’t let Kara stay idle either; he casually condensed a few memory fragments and tapped her on the forehead.
In an instant!
The memory fragments about Superman in Lucas’s mind all converged into Kara’s mind.
It was like a series of clear, high-definition movies.
It took Kara only a minute to digest all the memories.
Kryptonians had super brains, but for some reason, Superman never used them, habitually treating Batman as an external brain.
After receiving these memory fragments of the higher-dimensional World, Kara’s eyes held a bit more understanding, and of course, much more anger.
"My sufferings didn’t have to be endured in the first place?"
Supergirl accepted the perspective and concepts of Lucas.
Her existence actually copied the Superman template of the Flashpoint Universe; the one originally locked in the dungeon should have been Superman.
It was just that the movie underwent a revision, changing Superman into Supergirl.
However, Lucas couldn’t possibly explain all this.
Kara only needed to know what she was supposed to know.
"Pretty much. You shouldn’t even exist; everything in the Flashpoint Universe will eventually perish, but I saw your potential, so I pulled you out from that timeline!"
"So, are you willing to accept the offer I’m giving you?"
Lucas lowered his head.
Kara’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her skin felt the hot breath exhaled by the man.
"I-I can!"
"Very well, you won’t regret your decision."
Lucas continued, "We’re almost there. When we arrive, you will obediently hang above the Sun’s surface to absorb stellar energy. Once I finish dealing with matters on the surface, I’ll come back to pick you up!"
Kara nodded somewhat understandingly.
Three hours later.
Time felt so long that even Kara felt it was stagnant; every single minute and second, she could feel the temperature of Lucas’s hands, as well as the sense of security brought by his broad chest.
It was hard not to let her mind wander!
After all, she had been locked in a bunker for over twenty years, practically a newcomer, and the only men she had ever contacted were those Military representatives.
They clearly didn’t dare to be alone with her.
She originally had a bit of misandry, but now it was forcibly corrected.
"We’ve arrived!"
Within the solar system.
Lucas released his hands, and Kara rapidly pulled away as if she had been electrocuted.
"T-Thank you!"
She floated in place, her legs straightly crossed together, and her face took on the demeanor of a little woman.
It looked like unspeakable shyness.
"Wait for me here."
Lucas just threw out a sentence, and his figure instantly lunged toward Earth.
In less than a second.
He descended to the surface, greeted by an industrial area with years of industrial waste gases winding above it.
Former Soviet Union.
The former site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This place had become a vast expanse of ruins. At the very core, a guy two to three meters tall, holding a battle axe, was clad in streamlined armor with densely packed scales like fish scales.
Steppenwolf.
Alien invader, subordinate of Darkseid.
Steppenwolf had once betrayed Darkseid, resulting in punishment and a foreign debt of one hundred thousand Planets owed to Darkseid.
Over the years of fighting everywhere, he had paid off half of it.
Yet as soon as he came to Earth, he got stuck.
Lucas paid little attention to him, focusing more on those three mother boxes.
In front of Steppenwolf, three cubic machines covered all over with profound runes were melting bit by bit, having entered the final ultimate resonance stage.
Once this stage was completed.
Everything nearby would be destroyed, and billions of Earthlings would turn into Parademons, filling out Darkseid’s subordinates.
It could be considered a space version of a scorched-Earth policy.
If Earth wasn’t wanted, burn it down.
Earthlings would all be conscripted.
Where there are villains, there are heroes. Not far away, the main heroes of the DCEU, a batch of the most classic superhero characters, were beaten to a pulp at this moment, including Batman Bruce, Wonder Woman Diana, as well as Cyborg, Aquaman, Flash...
Where was Superman?
Where did Superman go?
Lucas swept a glance around and didn’t see that Kryptonian anywhere.
The World was correct; Batman was the Ben Affleck version, Wonder Woman was the Gal Gadot version, and Aquaman was Momoa.
"Forget it, whatever!"
Lucas put his hands in his pockets.
"The final component of the indestructible weapon module... the mother box of all things! This thing isn’t even considered a good thing in the Universe, but I’m still looking forward to the creation after synthesis!"
Lucas was also full of anticipation.
King Arthur had to have Excalibur, how could he, the Guardian, not get a handy weapon?
...
Meanwhile.
Outer space.
Henry-Superman suddenly flew from deep space to the surface of the Sun.
His gaze wasn’t very normal.
Compared to that gentle version of Superman, Henry-Superman seemed to have fallen into a state of confusion.
"Who are you?"
He saw Kara.
Kara also saw Superman, especially the S on his battle robe.
"You are... Karl?"
Kara recognized the family crest; that S mark could not be more obvious.
The man in front of her should be Karl of this Universe, which was her younger brother.
"Who is Karl?"
