Lin Chen looked around once and said, "My undercover agent informed me that the elites of the Motherland and the Holy See have already reached an agreement."
Diana frowned. "They're moving fast."
Lin Chen smiled. "It doesn't matter what their purpose is. As long as they can kill Steppenwolf, it saves me some effort."
Iron Man said, "I don't mind. There are plenty of people anyway."
Diana shook her head. "I'm afraid they'll be slaughtered by Steppenwolf."
"That wouldn't be a bad thing either." Lin Chen wrapped an arm around her waist.
Diana still looked puzzled. "Why did Darkseid invade Earth?"
"He not only wants to wash away the failures of the past," Lin Chen explained, "but more importantly, he wants the Anti-Life Equation, which seems to be on Earth."
"What exactly is this Anti-Life Equation?" Aquaman asked, completely lost.
Lin Chen replied, "The Anti-Life Equation can force all conscious beings to absolutely obey the one who controls it."
Aquaman still didn't understand. "Can't you just… tell people to listen?"
"Although the equation is extremely difficult to solve," Lin Chen said, "it is also incredibly seductive. Anyone who comes into contact with it can easily become addicted to the joy of solving it, and may even obey Darkseid in exchange for the answer."
Aquaman shuddered. "That's terrifying. It feels like I'm back in high school. As a slacker, I had to pretend to love studying."
Lin Chen gave him a strange look. "You actually went to high school…?"
"Hey, Daoist, who are you looking down on!"
Iron Man also looked uneasy. "If something like that exists, I might fall into it too."
"It seems both tyrants and slackers can be controlled by it. That's truly terrifying."
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, abandoned for decades, was not as desolate as people imagined.
Instead of becoming a forbidden zone for life, it was lush with vegetation and teeming with animals.
The power plant was covered by a massive defensive energy dome.
Inside, Steppenwolf had become something like a programmer, carrying out the final fusion of the Mother Boxes.
Once the fusion was complete, the army of Apokolips could be summoned.
He let out a long roar."I am about to complete my redemption. Can I finally go home?!"
"Ka—!"
Batman arrived in his aircraft.
Lin Chen and the others disembarked, only to realize that the place was far from deserted.
Outside the defensive dome, hundreds of people had gathered.
Long guns, heavy cannons—every kind of firearm imaginable.
The locals stared straight ahead.
Storm Girl, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, The Deep, and Starlight stood in a row, gazing forward like heroes about to save the world.
Cameras were focused on them. A live broadcast was underway.
Not far away, some struggling locals were also livestreaming on their phones. The viewer count was massive, and the income was enough to support their livelihoods.
A handsome blond man with blue eyes stood at the forefront, wearing silver-white chainmail and holding a cross-shaped sword. He was tall, striking, and far more eye-catching than the locals.
He was Owen, the Holy Son of the Holy See—a showcase figure carefully cultivated by the Vatican.
Behind him stood dozens of Holy See knights, all clad in ancient-style chainmail.
Among them, one female knight stood out the most. She had a fiery figure and a seductive appearance. She was the famed European adjudicator and part-time saintess—Malena.
The livestream comments instantly exploded.
"The Daoist finally showed up! No wonder there was no broadcast earlier—he was here to save the world!"
"This lineup is obviously stronger. Wonder Woman and the Daoist are a perfect match!"
"Iron Man is here too. I thought he was just a playboy."
"I used to think the Holy Son was handsome, but the Daoist completely outshines him."
Owen's expression darkened the moment he saw Lin Chen. He said coldly, "So you are Daoist Lin. The damage you've done to the Holy See will be settled once I deal with Steppenwolf."
Lin Chen ignored him completely.
Instead, he walked straight up to Malena and gave her a big hug.
"Little Widow, we meet again."
Malena wanted to explain that it wasn't because she didn't resist—it was just that this guy was far too fast.
"You bastard! Let go of our saintess!" A knight in his thirties threw a punch at Lin Chen.
They had wanted to arrest Lin Chen for a long time, but feared being accused of ignoring Earth's greater crisis.
Lin Chen casually kicked him to the ground.
Although these knights were about twenty times stronger than ordinary people, the gap between them and Lin Chen was still enormous.
Facing the cameras, Lin Chen sighed. "I came here to cooperate and fight Steppenwolf together. I didn't expect the Holy See to be so ruthless—putting personal grudges above the enemy of humanity. This is my fault."
He patted Malena's soft, pale hand."Sister, let's eliminate Steppenwolf first. We'll make an appointment next time. This is urgent."
Malena was on the verge of collapse."Next time?!"
"Bastard! My reputation is ruined!"
Lin Chen looked at her calmly. "The Holy See wants to kill you anyway. Is it really worth working so hard for them?"
The livestreams completely exploded.
"I came to watch the world being saved, but ended up watching an idol romance drama?"
"The Daoist and the nun are actually a great match. Which couple should I support?"
"That Owen gnashing his teeth isn't handsome at all."
When the Motherland's people saw the aircraft overhead, they finally began to stir.
"Daoist Lin! At this moment of Earth's life and death, you're still flirting instead of focusing on self-improvement!"
Lin Chen pointed toward the sky.
Batman had already flown his aircraft into the dome.
Several missiles slammed into the tower.
The tower collapsed instantly, and the energy dome vanished.
Steppenwolf's defensive fortress was shattered in seconds.
"The Motherlanders have been here for so long—what have you done besides posing and staring?" Lin Chen laughed. "We just arrived and already broke the Dawn Shield."
"Internet celebrities shouldn't just pose—do something useful. Clear out the soldiers."
He turned to everyone. "Looks like we don't need tactics. Let's go!"
Diana stepped on his foot and charged toward the nuclear plant with a battle cry.
Iron Man flew forward, blasting several Parademons apart with energy cannons.
Lin Chen drew the Yun Tianshi Sword, grabbed Aquaman and Wonder Woman, and used Shrinking an Inch.
The three instantly rushed into the nuclear power plant.
The Flash looked around awkwardly. "Looks like I reacted the slowest again. Guess I'll have to work harder next time."
"Whoosh!"
He vanished.
The livestream comments surged again.
"The Daoist and Iron Man are the real ones doing work!"
"Batman is fierce too—charging in alone!"
"That shrinking technique is insane!"
"What have those Walter-set internet celebrities been doing after posing for so long? They haven't done anything!"
"That's right—do something real!"
"The Holy See knights are all talk and no action. I hope they get wiped out!"
At the rear, Commander Fryer's face was gloomy.
He had spent enormous manpower and resources preparing this operation, only for it to be stolen by Lin Chen and his group who arrived at the last moment.
"Tell them to advance immediately!"
The Motherland's people finally moved in.
Storm Girl flew ahead, while the others could only run on the ground, slowing them down.
Owen drew his holy sword and muttered a chant. The blade glowed white as he pointed forward.
"Charge!"
Two Holy See knights mounted motorcycles, weapons blazing, and rushed into battle.
