As for the freshly minted The Flash Barry Allen, this kid could only move around the battlefield; let alone helping, it would be a blessing if he didn't cause trouble.
"This unit has never had such a terrible host!" Little Flash couldn't help but complain.
"You only have me as a host!" Barry retorted.
Ares, God of War, stood in the center of the crater he had created, roaring with laughter:
"Hahahahaha, Kryptonian, your power seems to be weakening. Are you perhaps running out of steam?"
Saying that, Ares condensed his divine power, transforming it into destructive force and attaching it to his battle axe, then forcefully threw it.
The battle axe spun in the air, flying out with a sharp airflow like a whirlwind.
Between Ares and the Justice League, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the battle axe grazed past that person.
Ares looked closely, instantly recognizing who it was, and then rejoiced.
"You've come at the perfect time!"
Then he grabbed his battle axe again and charged.
Diana, with her sharp eyes, clearly saw the newcomer and immediately cried out: "Dane—!"
Chapter 245 Falling in love with a wild horse... Diana was the first to rush forward to support Dane.
But in the middle of the battlefield, Ares's battle axe and the arm guard on Dane's arm had already collided, unleashing a powerful divine Impact.
Diana's body in mid-air was blown away by this Impact, falling to the ground. She raised her round shield, blocking the subsequent Impact.
But the enormous wind pressure still pushed her backward. It was a scorching gale that blew in all directions, also hitting the other Justice League members behind Diana.
Hal timely used a shield to protect himself and The Flash, but under this strong Impact, the green shield still developed cracks.
"It won't break, right?" Barry couldn't help but ask him.
Hal was struggling to hold on, squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Shut. Up!"
Barry immediately covered his mouth, not daring to speak.
Just as Hal felt he could no longer hold on, Clark stood in front of them, using his body to block most of the hot wind's Impact, so much so that his arms and chest were scorched red by the heat.
Ares's attack this time was almost as strong as Doomsday's energy storm. Fully unleashing his divine power, he was an extremely terrifying enemy.
Dane's arm guards were cut off by the battle axe, and his arms also suffered two wounds. Only by relying on his hard bones did he block Ares's full-power slash.
However, Ares was extremely shocked, knowing that even Zeus would never dare to block such an attack with his bare flesh.
Dane ignored the pain in his arm, slowly raising the battle axe.
At the same time, a surging power of thunder gathered and brewed within him. His eyes and chest radiated dazzling lightning.
When the power within him reached its critical point, the power of thunder burst forth from all the pores on his body. Ares bore the brunt of it, being blasted back to where he came from.
"Dane, you're hurt!" Cortana said anxiously within his mind.
"Yes, I'm hurt." Dane sighed.
Was this the first time he had been injured in all his years of being active?
As expected of the God of War who once struck Darkseid with an axe, this blow was truly powerful.
But within moments, lightning crackled around the wounds on Dane's arms, seemingly stitching them up and mending them, quickly restoring his arms to their original state.
Not only his injuries, but even the arm guards that Ares had cleaved open regenerated and repaired themselves.
These arm guards were also synthesized using nanotech, employing a secondary N Metal alloy.
The purity of the N Metal was not high enough, and its strength was still too low to withstand the artifacts made by the Olympian Gods using Eighth Metal. It could only barely offset some attacks.
As soon as Ares landed on his back, Diana had already leaped up, and the godfire sword plunged directly towards his forehead.
Ares quickly dodged with a carp jump, but no sooner had he stabilized than he was sent flying by a green fist to the face. It was Green Lantern Hal's fist.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time!"
Ares was punched backward, and behind him, Clark clasped his hands together, striking a tricky spot. He hit Ares's neck, almost dislocating his spine.
The Flash Barry... he was shouting encouragement from the ground, a qualified hype man.
"This unit has never felt so humiliated!" Little Flash's mechanical voice became exasperated.
Barry's face flushed, and he forced a defense: "I'm just a rookie, there's nothing I can do."
"Shazam was even younger than you when he first went on a mission, but that was a very successful operation."
Barry was very curious upon hearing this: "How do you know?"
As if realizing he had misspoken, Little Flash suddenly played dead, falling silent.
This made Barry scratch his head in frustration, but he was helpless.
On the battlefield, the fight continued. With Dane's addition, there were more tactical options for dealing with Ares.
"Cortana, can you unfold a dream here?"
If so, drag Ares in and kite him to death.
However, Cortana told him he couldn't.
"This is not our home World; we cannot override the authority of the Master of this place."
To use a mobile phone system as an analogy, the Real World is like an Android system, highly compatible, as if anyone can unfold their domain there.
That's why his dream, the gates of Hell, and the Rock of Eternity's ethereal secret realm could be opened in the Real World.
But Hades's Underworld is iOS. Unless he opens the Underworld's permissions, Dane cannot unfold his Small World here. This applies to everyone.
This is also why Zeus dared not step in; given Hades's hatred for him, he would likely be forced to delete his account and restart as soon as he took one step in.
However, the good news is that while Hades could prevent Dane from unfolding his dream, he also didn't use his supreme authority in the Underworld to directly erase them conceptually.
He didn't know if he didn't want to or couldn't... Hades didn't not want to, but he couldn't do it, because he was not the sole ruler of the Underworld.
He looked at the woman who had shared his bed but not his heart for thousands of years, a difficult-to-describe anger in his heart.
Persephone, ever since she became Lady of the Underworld, she had almost equal authority over the Underworld as Hades, King of the Underworld.
Just as Hera could take half of Zeus's power, once Persephone made up her mind, she could also contend with the King of the Underworld and restrict some of his actions.
But for thousands of years, she had never so actively participated in the power struggle. Why this time?
"Why, Persephone?"
Persephone's eyes flickered, and she softly said: "This is Zeus's command."
Hades only felt his head heavy, as if a green hat was pressing down on him from the void.
Zeus was both Persephone's father and her lover. Well... Mount Olympus was just that chaotic; everyone was used to it.
In short, facing the demands of Zeus, who was both her father and her lover, she could not refuse.
She restricted Hades's power, preventing him from freely controlling everything in the Underworld, but that was all she could do.
She had not been heavily involved in the affairs of the Underworld, so naturally, she could not contend for more power. Ultimately, she lacked initiative.
Hades quickly adjusted his mood. He sneered at this unfaithful woman.
"When I'm handling business, you stay here and don't go anywhere!"
Hades' words were law; in his own palace, his pronouncements were divine decrees, imprisoning Persephone in her own room.
He walked out of the palace, and outside stretched an endless, continuous Army of demons and Kryptonian troops.
Hades never intended to face the Justice League himself from the start.
As an ancient god, Hades was equally wary of Gaia's prophecy, so he was unwilling to personally confront Shazam.
But he could order Ares, that brainless fellow, to deal with him, and he wasn't worried that Ares would quickly be defeated.
He was now preparing to lead his Army directly into Hell, taking advantage of the Justice League being tied up by Ares to seize enough territory and souls.
As long as the war in Hell continued, Hades could supply Ares with an endless stream of war energy.
Letting him buy time was a perfect positive cycle.
"All forces, attack! Target: Hell!"
The abyss of the Underworld opened its maw, swallowing Hades and his Army... On the other side, Ares felt the surging war power within him, his confidence swelled again, and the injuries he had sustained earlier vanished.
He laughed loudly at the Justice League members: "Come again! My enemies, challenge me with all your might!"
This guy was beyond arrogant!
Dane was the first to step forward, engaging Ares in a head-on clash. Every burst of lightning power he unleashed was absorbed by Ares, who was in berserker mode. No matter how severe the injury, it would fully heal within a few breaths.
Clark and Dane attacked Ares together, but their offensives were all neutralized by his rich combat skills and experience.
The war Hades initiated in Hell provided him with more war energy.
In front of Ares, whose strength was growing increasingly obvious, Clark's physical power no longer held a complete advantage.
But even with Ares's divine bravery, he was still overwhelmed by the Justice League members.
The saying "two fists are no match for four hands" also applied to him.
So Ares raised his axe and roared to the sky, and under his divine power, countless war demons suddenly burst out of the ground.
They were the fallen warriors who had died by Ares's hand: humans, gods, demons, and even Titan giants.
With Hades' tacit approval, they obeyed Ares's summons, awakening from the Underworld to fight for him...
