Owen quietly crept up to Steppenwolf's axe. The weapon radiated a crimson glow. At a glance, it was anything but ordinary. Bringing it back to the Holy See would be a tremendous achievement.
When Steppenwolf wielded that axe, its power had been terrifying. Owen had been envious for a long time.
"Take your filthy hands off my axe," Lin Chen shouted coldly.
"Yours?!"
Startled, Owen stumbled back several steps. Feeling that he had lost face, he snorted and said, "Lin Chen, don't be so smug. I also played a role in stopping Steppenwolf."
Lin Chen burst into laughter. "What did you do besides hiding in your mother's arms? Oh right—killing a few monsters and dragging a few corpses back."
Contempt flashed through Malena's eyes. This bastard had avoided the fight earlier, and now he wanted to reap the benefits.
The people from Vought were already approaching as well.
The Flash shouted, "Steppenwolf was killed by the Taoist priest. The spoils should belong to him!"
Aquaman, Cyborg, and the others all nodded in agreement.
Lin Chen flicked out a fire talisman. A blazing flame dragon surged toward Owen. "If you dare take this axe today, I'll burn you alive!"
"You wouldn't dare!" Owen said stiffly.
Lin Chen pointed forward, and the flame dragon lunged straight at him.
Owen made a snap decision, turned around, and ran for his life. Even so, his clothes were still set ablaze.
"Trash," Lin Chen said dismissively.
Diana picked up the axe and brought it over.
Lin Chen stored it in his spatial space. When he grew larger, he could use the axe as a weapon. After all, the Heavenly Master Sword was a bit small.
Seeing this, the people from Vought wanted to drag Steppenwolf's corpse away. Maybe Vought could use it to develop new technology.
Lin Chen naturally would not let them get their way. The flame dragon swallowed Steppenwolf's body in one bite, burning it completely to ashes.
"You—!" The representative from Vought was furious. He felt that he had put in effort without getting any credit.
He had been beaten so badly—was there really no credit at all?
This was pure bullying!
Lin Chen said indifferently, "Just take a few demon corpses back."
Rolling their eyes, the Vought people took off and flew away.
Lin Chen then walked up to the live broadcast of the death squad and said to the camera, "Don't worry, everyone. Steppenwolf has been eliminated by us, and the alien teleportation array has also been destroyed."
That expression, that demeanor—it all made it look like this was entirely his achievement.
Starlight felt a little ashamed by his behavior and thought to herself, You were obviously no match for Steppenwolf. What are you pretending for?
Owen also walked up to the camera. "Friends around the world, the aliens have been wiped out by our Holy See. You don't need to worry anymore."
At moments like this, it was necessary to harvest a wave of goodwill. After all, the audience couldn't see what had happened inside the tower. It was all about who spoke first.
The people from Vought were displeased. The Holy Son of the Holy See was simply too shameless.
"Taking all the credit in one go—more shameless than me, terrifyingly shameless, even more shameless than Lin Chen!"
Meanwhile, Lin Chen and the others were still inspecting the three Mother Boxes inside the tower.
Cyborg checked them and said, "The Mother Boxes have gone dormant. They won't be able to activate again for several years."
Lin Chen looked at everyone. "Whoever wants these Mother Boxes can take them."
Everyone shook their heads. They were useless and might even attract alien attacks.
Speechless, Lin Chen could only assign their disposal. The human Mother Box would be buried somewhere secure.
As for the Mother Box of the Sea Clan, he would have Mera take it back when the time came.
He then looked at Diana, his eyes bright. "Beautiful, looks like we're going back to Paradise Island again."
Diana shook her head vigorously. "No. Never going back!"
Lin Chen smiled. "It's fine. I'm fast. I'll deliver it myself. You seem to be working very hard."
Diana's eyes spat fire. She raised her sword to Lin Chen's neck. "You're not allowed to go either!"
Iron Man and Batman exchanged looks. "It seems Paradise Island is likely a man's paradise and a woman's hell?"
Aquaman suddenly had an idea. "The Amazons have always been at odds with the sea, but with my strong physique, it shouldn't be hard to find a girl with abs."
He raised his hand. "How about I help deliver it? I swim very fast."
"Keep dreaming! What kind of people do you think they are?!" Diana snapped angrily.
Lin Chen put all three Mother Boxes into his spatial space. "Alright, let's head out."
At that moment, Lin Chen's phone rang. It was Harley. The girl sounded aggressive and furious.
"Taoist priest, the Holy See and the Vought people are saying they killed Steppenwolf and saved the world! But I know it definitely wasn't them—it had to be you!"
"What?" Lin Chen frowned. "These guys are really shameless." He didn't care about being a savior, but how could he tolerate having the peaches picked by those two?
The others were equally indignant.
Iron Man waved his hand. "Everyone, don't rush. Watch me."
He had J.A.R.V.I.S. take over. It turned out he had recorded everything that happened inside the tower earlier.
Lin Chen pulled him aside. "Tony, cut out the part where my body got bigger and tore my clothes."
Iron Man laughed. "Don't worry, no problem—as long as you take me to see the girls on Paradise Island."
In his heart, Lin Chen decided he would introduce Tony to a sturdy black woman whose arms were thicker than his legs.
The whole world began talking about the incident.
Vought and Owen were still fighting over who deserved the credit for saving the world.
The live broadcast chat suddenly exploded.
"Everyone, don't listen to these two liars!"
"Damn, these two are disgusting!"
"There's already a video pinned at the top. It was the Taoist team that killed Steppenwolf!"
"The Taoist priest even gave the alien the middle finger!"
"Am I the only one who noticed the alien treasure girls? They're totally my type, and they even seemed to spare the Taoist priest's body!"
"These two are shameless. The Vought people were beaten senseless by Steppenwolf, and they still dare say they contributed the most."
"Owen from the Holy See is disgusting. He tried to steal the spoils, hid himself, and almost got the nun sister killed."
"The Taoist priest saved her—shouldn't she repay him?"
"But she's a nun!"
"She's just a nun. The Taoist priest probably wouldn't mind."
Malena looked at the barrage, her eyelids twitching. "I don't mind if I can!" she muttered.
Owen had completely lost face and was now standing before the camera.
This time, the Holy See's image had suffered greatly. Although their strength wasn't impressive, they had originally gained a lot of goodwill by claiming to fight for justice.
However, Owen's shameless act of stealing credit was exposed all at once, turning the Holy See into a laughingstock of liars and fools.
The people from Vought were scolded as well.
The two sides were truly birds of a feather.
When Lin Chen and the others arrived, Owen's face had turned the color of pig liver.
He charged at Lin Chen irrationally. "It's all because of you!"
Lin Chen struck first, kicking him dozens of meters away with a single blow. Owen almost vomited on the spot.
Only then did he remember the vast gap between himself and Lin Chen and no longer dared to move.
"Really cool—loves getting beaten," Lin Chen said, shaking his head in disdain.
The Vought people gathered their personnel and some demon corpses and prepared to leave.
Starlight stared at Lin Chen with sparkling eyes. If not for so many people being present, she probably would have pounced on him.
Lin Chen gave her a look, signaling her to leave first.
Malena organized the remaining knights, took several demon weapons and demon corpses, and prepared to escort them away.
Lin Chen walked over and stared at Malena. "Little nun, the netizens are calling for you to repay your benefactor. What do you think?"
