Chapter 361: Trap, Foolish Fish
Holding the canister containing Doomsday, Tang Song walked unhurriedly towards the Mother Box.
In the empty and dead silent Lotus Platform Space, only the sound of Tang Song's white leather shoes stepping on the Blood Jade Platform echoed within the Blood Lotus Space.
Tang Song smiled and put his hands behind his back, facing the layer of Boom Tube covering the Mother Box.
On the other side of the Boom Tube, Darkseid solemnly sized up the man confronting him face-to-face across the Boom Tube. Darkseid's face resembled black-grey rock. The gaze he directed at Tang Song was no longer casual like at the beginning; his gaze swept over the area behind Tang Song.
A black great halberd was stuck upside down in the blood-colored ground, Steppenwolf's body pierced through and hanging upside down on the halberd blade.
Blood flowed like a small stream from his chest, neck, and across his cheek; before dripping onto the ground, it turned into balls of blood mist.
The upright black great halberd, the dying Steppenwolf—all of this was like a declaration of war to Darkseid. Since his defeat on Earth, Darkseid hadn't encountered such a challenge for thousands of years.
Desaad, who was nearby, could even see his Liege's facial muscles tightening, the blue veins under his skin faintly twitching. Clearly, this Dark Lord (Darkseid), the strongest New God, was enraged to the extreme.
"Challenger, you are worthy of me remembering you. Tell me your name! After your death, I will grant you a memorial on the Wall of Slaughter on Apokolips."
Darkseid's muffled voice reached Tang Song's ears through the Boom Tube. Tang Song did not answer; he merely extended his Right Hand from behind his back, flattened his palm, and made a beckoning gesture towards Darkseid with the four fingers excluding the thumb!
"Come here!"
Although Tang Song didn't say a word, this silent provocation was deafening!
Crack! Boom!
Seeing the action Tang Song made on the other side of the Boom Tube, Darkseid clenched his fist. With the sound of joints cracking, the air inside his fist was forcibly squeezed into a ball of white qi burst.
"Buzz!"
Facing Tang Song's provocation, red light flashed in Darkseid's eyes. The next second, two crimson Omega Beams shot out from his eyes, shooting towards Tang Song.
The crimson Omega Beams penetrated the Boom Tube and, with a boom, hit Tang Song.
Amidst the violent explosion, this provoker exploded into a ball of blood mist before Darkseid's eyes. On Darkseid's face, which was like grey-black rock, a cruel smile of satisfaction appeared.
Seeing that his ever-victorious Omega Beams had eliminated the enemy, Darkseid took a step towards the Boom Tube. He wanted to bloodbath this Planet that had brought him shame and take back the Anti-Life Equation.
As long as he obtained the Anti-Life Equation, combined with the Omega Effect he controlled, he could control all life and all creations in the 52 Parallel Universes within the entire Orrery of Worlds.
But before Darkseid could take a step, Desaad stopped him.
"King! Look at that canister!"
Just as displeasure showed in Darkseid's eyes, Desaad quickly pointed to the other side of the Boom Tube and said.
Darkseid followed Desaad's gaze, only then discovering that a canister was placed steadily there on the blood-red Platform.
Darkseid's expression changed instantly. How could it be? Under his Omega Beams, this canister was actually still intact.
One must know that the Omega Beams released from his eyes were not merely high temperature or destructive rays, but contained the power of the Omega Effect.
The so-called Omega Effect, this is the authority belonging to the New Gods of Apokolips.
The Omega Beams shot from Darkseid's eyes can completely erase the opponent's existence and can also resurrect them.
He can freely control the direction of the Omega Beams, can use this thing to travel through time and space, and can also use the Omega Beams for world destruction.
Darkseid can even use the Omega Sanction to send opponents traveling through endless Parallel Universes, and these Worlds are also worse than the last. Even death cannot stop this cycle. At the same time, the victim themselves will continuously accumulate Omega Energy during the constant traversal, and after reaching a certain level, will destroy the entire World.
The only drawback of the Omega Effect is that the user needs to have a clear wish, or rather, cannot deceive themselves in order to use it.
In order to seize the power of the Omega Effect, Darkseid even killed his own brother!
Looking at the canister on the blood-colored ground on the other side of the Boom Tube, a trace of doubt flashed in Darkseid's eyes. He had clearly just wanted to erase all traces of the audacious provoker in this Universe, yet this canister was still there.
After thinking for two seconds, Darkseid gave a look. Desaad waved his hand, and tens of thousands of Parademons, already waiting in the sky, immediately swarmed towards the Boom Tube.
Inside the Boom Tube, the swarming Parademons completely filled the space inside the Blood Jade Lotus Platform in just a few breaths. And seemingly because it disliked its internal space being too small, the flower bud, completely filled with Parademons, began to bloom.
Bloodlight filled the sky, dyeing the sky over most of New Jersey crimson. Accompanying this bloodlight was an indescribable fragrant aura.
It was as if one were in a lotus pond, smelling the fresh fragrance of a pond full of lotus flowers.
Darkseid looked at the other side of the Boom Tube. The Parademons he had dispatched were all safe and sound, and that blood-colored cage also seemed to have opened because of the death of that provoker.
Only then did he confirm that arrogant provoker was truly dead.
Just as he gave the order, planning to have his subordinates' personal guard and warships enter the Boom Tube, he inexplicably glanced at the canister on the ground containing green liquid.
Sensing his will, a few Parademons directly flapped their wings and flew towards the canister in the center of the Blood Jade Lotus Platform Altar.
Just as their hands were about to touch the canister containing the Doomsday embryo, a blood cloud rose from the surface of the canister, wrapping them completely.
The moment the skin on their bodies came into contact with the blood cloud, a few Parademons directly turned into a ball of foul blood in less than a thousandth of a second.
Pop! The blood cloud was silent, but it spread out as if exploding, directly spreading to all the space covered by the Blood Lotus. Within tens of kilometers, all the Parademons, the moment their skin touched the blood cloud, their entire bodies instantly turned into a ball of foul blood.
Seeing this scene, Darkseid's face instantly froze!
Outside the Blood-Colored Lotus Altar in the old district, many people personally witnessed a giant Blood Lotus, seemingly carved from blood-colored jade, tens of kilometers wide, blooming.
But those who truly witnessed the scene of that giant blood-colored flower bud blooming showed no hint of surprise or appreciation for this spectacle on their faces.
"This looks like a pitcher plant hunting!" Barry Allen gazed at the blood-colored flower bud in the distance. Inside the translucent Blood Jade petals, dense black shadows circled within the flower bud, then exploded one by one.
As the black shadows inside turned into red mist, the entire blood-colored flower bud seemed to have received ample nutrition and began to bloom outwards.
"This is much fiercer than a pitcher plant. Pitcher plants only eat the flesh and blood of insects. This thing is a demonic creature that devours everything, skin and bone, even the soul!"
On the wheelchair, Constantine muttered to himself, but his gaze swept across The Void around him. The burning magic runes on his body told him that a bunch of good friends had arrived nearby.
Archangel Gabriel, Lucifer, First of the Fallen... Touching the magic sigils on his body, Constantine distinguished these existences who had signed contracts with him. Heaven and Hell had both sent people.
It's just that he didn't know if they came as clones or true bodies. It wasn't easy for those guys from Hell to descend to the Reality Dimension. But Heaven... for them, the Mortal Realm is God's pasture, so Gabriel, this old acquaintance, should have come as his true body?
Constantine thought while observing his surroundings. His eyes that could see magic power fluctuations quickly found a few familiar auras.
"Are you sure?"
"Forty percent. Although my nanobots cannot cause damage to this thing, according to my discussion with Dr. Banner, that is the so-called Unity after three Mother Boxes combined, and a protective film is covering their surface!"
"Even if the three Mother Boxes are separated, given its material, it is also very difficult to destroy!"
"So where did you get that forty percent confidence from?"
"This alien technology has a very complex internal structure, but the more complex something is, the easier it is to make mistakes. Due to the material, my nanobots cannot damage it! However—"
Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne huddled together. Bruce Wayne leaned in to look at the video in Tony Stark's hand. The two Superheroes, Billionaires, inexplicably had a kind of sneaky, lewd feeling huddled together watching a video.
"This is the audio just recorded and transmitted back by the nanobots. Although it was interfered with, according to the general content in the audio, the language in Steppenwolf's mouth should be the key to controlling the Mother Box. Give me some time, and once I decipher this language, I will be able to destroy the Mother Box!"
"This is your forty percent confidence? By the time you finish deciphering Steppenwolf's language, the Mother Box will have long been taken away by this Evil God!" Hearing Tony Stark's words, Bruce Wayne, who had originally thought he had a good method, instantly became impatient.
"Then what method do you have, Mr. Batman!?"
Bruce Wayne looked up at Tony Stark's slightly mockery face. He instantly understood that he was too anxious and his words also carried negative emotions.
These visitors from Parallel Universes before him, frankly speaking, were here to help. Although it was cooperation, others were trying so hard to find a method, while he, being powerless, was venting his resentment on them.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Stark, I was a bit impatient. In this situation, I am also worried that the Boom Tube will fall into the hands of that Evil God. I am truly sorry—"
Looking at the comic book character from his childhood before him, Tony Stark, who was always sharp-tongued and unforgiving when in the right, unexpectedly, contrary to his usual behavior, did not continue being sharp-tongued.
"I understand your feelings. Our Universe has experienced much heavier losses than yours. Can you imagine half the life in a Universe turned into dust just because of a madman's ridiculous values?"
Tony Stark patted Bruce Wayne's shoulder: "Look on the bright side. Matters are far from as bad as you think. An Evil God? I don't think he can decipher this alien teleportation device! This Evil God might not even know how to use this thing in the end!"
Bruce Wayne glanced at Tony Stark. For some reason, hearing this guy, his slightly raised heart finally slightly relaxed.
At this moment, Tang Someone, who was regarded as illiterate by Tony Stark, accompanied by a ball of blood mist taking shape, reappeared in the Boom Tube, before Darkseid.
The Blood Sea does not dry, the River Styx does not die. This thought of his is integrated with the entire Altar. Unless Darkseid can erase the entire Altar, he simply cannot kill this thought clone of his.
Tang Song looked at the Boom Tube with a face full of regret. Just a little bit more, and he could have tricked Darkseid into this Altar. It's truly a pity not to be able to get such a large piece of fatty meat.
Given the current scale of the Styx Blood Sacrifice, although he didn't know if he could catch Darkseid, this bighead carp weighing several hundred catties, the fishing rod really couldn't bear it. Then he would use a move of American-style fishing.
As long as Darkseid enters the Underworld River Altar, he will be guided into the killing formation of the Styx Blood Sea in the Marvel Universe. His main body has even prepared to go to the Styx Blood Sea to preside over the killing formation.
The Underworld River Killing Array composed of ten million Blood Angels plus tens of millions of Underworld Soldiers, plus him, Hela, and Nv Ba, the three of them presiding over the formation—let alone Darkseid, no matter how much of a tough nut to crack you are, you'll be ground into copper water if you come in.
"However, after finally casting the bait, I can't come back empty-handed!"
Tang Song's gaze swept over the area around the Underworld River Altar, sensing the dozen or so not weak auras. Some of which were even not weaker than Darkseid on the other side of the Boom Tube, just in terms of energy strength.
Tang Song himself and Darkseid were still several magnitudes apart. There may be many, but they may not be refined!
The Fishing Enthusiast, contemplating catching a few foolish fish. Behind him, Parademons exploded one by one within the Blood Lotus, turning into blood rain filling the sky. In the center of the Blood-Colored Lotus Platform, red light filled the sky, a straight light beam extended to the horizon, piercing through The Void. Darkseid quietly watched the change on the other side of the Boom Tube. His black-grey face had now become completely gloomy.
The provoker being blown up by his Omega Effect just now was clearly a trap. If it hadn't been for a few Parademons going to grab that canister just now, this trap might have waited until he walked out of the Boom Tube before triggering.
At that time—
Perhaps sensing his Liege's displeasure, the entire Apokolips seemed to fall into dead silence. Whether it was the Parademons or the lowlifes on Apokolips, at this moment, they didn't dare to breathe.
Crackle crackle—
The Boom Tube before him suddenly became abnormally flickering. That blood-colored space and that annoying face also instantly disappeared before Darkseid.
Darkseid turned his head to look at Desaad.
"King! This is a good thing. That reckless provoker is clearly plotting against the Mother Box. This ignorant fellow doesn't know that the technology of the Mother Box cannot be deciphered by a normal civilization."
"He took the Mother Box away. We can completely remote control the Mother Box to open the Boom Tube. At that time, the Parademon Army will appear in his World, and King, you will gain a brand new territory!"
Hearing Desaad's explanation, the anger in Darkseid's eyes only then slightly lessened.
"I need a vessel for holding wine. I think his head is very suitable!" Darkseid looked at the place where the Boom Tube disappeared and said in a deep voice.
"King! As you wish!"
(Came to Qingdao, originally wanted to go see my grandmother, but a few classmates were there, was hangover for the entire day, my leave request, aaaaaah, and my innocence/purity, God knows a place like KTV/karaoke bar could actually find hostesses from outside
