Earth 2014, late October, the day Apokolips invaded.
Oa star.
Dozens of green meteors pierced the sky and landed on the Guardian Cliff.
The green light dissipated, revealing Sinestro, Kilowog and more than twenty green lights.
"Your Excellency Guardian, Hal Jordan has sent a message that the invasion of Apokolips has officially begun, and the first batch of demonoids have appeared in Gotham City." The Legion Commander said solemnly.
"What are you doing here?" the little blue man Apas said calmly.
"Isn't it the duty of the Green Lantern Corps to protect the peace of the universe? We also made a promise in front of countless people on Earth that when Apokolips invades the Earth, the Corps will provide support." Kilowog said loudly.
"Are you questioning the Guardian's decision?" Apas said with sharp eyes.
"I have not forgotten the laws of the Green Lantern Corps and will not disobey the orders of the Guardians." The pig-headed Kilowog hesitated for a moment, and his expression became firm again, "But Hal Jordan is asking us for help, and the Green Lantern Corps cannot refuse it.
Justifiable reason.”
"The legion is also in trouble now. Don't you know how many people we lost in the past few months?
In order to protect you, the Legion has even suspended its responsibility to protect the universe for billions of years.
Our ban on going out is for the benefit of the entire legion." Ganser said seriously.
"There are billions of people on the earth calling for the Green Lantern Corps." Kilowog used a ring to project a video in mid-air. Thousands of white, black, yellow, and brown children from the earth gathered together and used pitiful voices,
Shout: "The day is bright, the night is vast. Demons and demons have no place to hide. The heretics are in chaos and are afraid of my divine light."
The green light always shines and shines forever!
Green Lantern Corps, we need you, the earth needs you, and justice needs you."
The pig-headed Green Lantern said loudly: "The Green Lantern Corps going to Earth to fight against Darkseid is indeed not conducive to the overall interests of the Corps, but the so-called benefit is nothing more than life and death.
But my companions and I, as early as when we put on the ring, had already put our lives behind upholding justice and protecting the weak.
Even if we die on earth today, we will be happy with it."
The guardians looked at each other and sighed: "None of you have overcome the shortcomings of the green light. It is very likely that this trip will never come back."
"The Legion cannot let down those who trust us." Kilowog said firmly.
The guardians were silent again.
Finally, Apas nodded and said: "In principle, Green Light members are not allowed to leave Oua before the Green Light defects are resolved.
We still adhere to this resolution.
But the Guardians also allow the Lanterns to volunteer to go to Earth to rescue victims in their own name."
Kilowog saluted the Guardians and said solemnly: "We will definitely prove to the people on Earth and the people in the universe who are paying attention to this matter that the Green Lantern Corps has not broken its oath and has not given up on its responsibilities."
"Whoosh whoosh!" One after another, more than twenty Green Lantern Corps soared into the sky, turned into green meteors, and disappeared into the sky.
"Aren't you going?" Gunther looked at Sinestro and asked.
Sinestro curled his lips, "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm eager to succeed. I'm not interested in things that are bound to fail, and I won't do useless work."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"As the commander of the legion, I am here to see Kilowog and the others off. Also, I would like to ask, more than a month has passed since our last conversation. Have you found a way to overcome your willpower deficiency?
I cannot tolerate failure, let alone hide in Oa weakly, doing nothing, and being laughed at by the people in the universe." Sinestro said excitedly.
Ganser nodded slightly, "We have almost found the direction. If you go to Earth now, you may be able to see many green lights to overcome the shortcomings."
Sinestro looked stern, "You mean, Kilowog and the others? But they obviously can't deal with even the lowest yellow flaws, and they have to take off their rings when eating."
"I want to go see the Earth." Gunther said to the little blue man next to him.
"Just watch, don't interfere in the fight." Apas said.
Gunther nodded in agreement.
Immediately more than half of the little blue people expressed their willingness to go with him
The invasion of Apokolips has been mentioned, worried and guarded by the people of the earth since the Heroes Conference in June. However, when sonic boom channels suddenly opened on the earth, the people of the earth were still confused.
There are too many enemies.
"Tother Fake, has the end of mankind come?"
Looking at the yellow-red clouds flying from the direction of Haikou, the mouths and weapons spitting out red flames, the yellow high-tech armor and wings holding a rifle, Detective Gordon felt cold all over and felt despair in his heart.
It is noon now, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the autumn air is crisp.
But the sky is darkening, and the clouds are blocking the sunlight. One by one, the demonoids are crowded together layer by layer, forming an overwhelming cloud layer.
Don't say thousands.
There are definitely more than a million of these monsters that are going to cover the sky in Gotham.
The Gotham police, the state guard, and the Gotham People's Volunteers who have been trained in recent months and have their own weapons total less than half a million.
"Superintendent, demonoids have been spotted in the direction of Seventh Avenue." The GCPD beside him screamed heartbreakingly.
Gordon turned his head to look at Seventh Avenue, and couldn't help but tremble. In the metropolis of the steel jungle, a yellow-red smoke column stood unusually and abruptly. It was thicker than the Empire State Building in cross-sectional area and larger than the Empire State Building.
Tall, the so-called smoke is all demonoids, and the army of demonoids rushed out from the ground.
Bateman and the others were not able to find all the mother boxes. There are mother boxes in the sea, and there are also mother boxes hidden in underground tunnels or in certain buildings on the ground.
"There are some in the old city, too!" Another GCPD wailed in horror.
Gordon no longer felt his heart pounding, he was numb.
A series of demonic 'smoke pillars', like the fingers of death, stretched out from the sky, trying to suck away the life force of the entire Gotham.
"On the Silver City, King Michael, listen to my prayer and grant me divine power and holy light!"
Suddenly, a thunderous and majestic shout exploded over Gotham Cathedral. The next moment, a golden sun ignited the clouds composed of demons. The hot and holy light was like waves, waves coming from the figure in the center.
spread around.
The demonoid showed no resistance, and the corpses fell like a downpour.
"Ah, it's Father Carlisle." Gordon was shocked. Gotham hasn't fallen yet, and there are heroes in Gotham!
"Kill!" The black warrior held a huge energy blade ax and stirred up a tornado. In just one wave, tens of thousands of demonoids were taken away.
"Stab, sting, sting!" Hundreds of drones the size of pot lids flew out from Quinn Manor, shooting beams of invisible energy beams into the sky.
"Rumble" The sky seemed to be torn apart, sending out continuous sonic booms. A line of faint blue light split the Gotham sky into two, tearing a trench in the demon-like cloud layer.
The blue light faded away, revealing a silver airship.
"It's Archimedes, it's the Watcher! Senator Quinn is no longer here, but her legacy will last forever!" Director Harvey shouted excitedly. People on the street who were evacuating to underground bunkers fired their guns into the sky.
The militiamen were also shouting.
"Shit, it's so hard, I hit it directly." Gordon's cheeks turned red with excitement, "It feels so good!"
Before, Archimedes would not have dared to be so reckless, but now its shell is made of N metal alloy, which is harder than most artifacts.
"呲呲" A beam of scarlet rays came from the sky, like a red-hot sharp blade, cutting back and forth on the demon-like clouds covering the sky. After a while, people on the ground could see the sun in the sky again.
"Long live Tearman!" the people cheered excitedly.
"Buzzing, buzzing" the green propeller, which was bigger than Times Square, stirred up a bloody wind in the sky, and the corpses of demonoids fell rustlingly.
Green Lantern is here.
"Boom!" Thunder and lightning arcs jumped among the demonoids. Wonder Woman had a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, like a killing machine, facing the demonoid army unparalleled.
"Swish, swish, swish", there is also a golden-red lightning on the above-ground streets, covering almost all the blocks with red afterimages.
The demonoids that were close to the ground were struck by lightning before they could commit any harm, and their limbs were shattered. The victims suddenly disappeared one by one, and then suddenly teleported to a safe area.
"Ah, the Flash is here too."
The black-armored Bateman landed next to Gordon with a "dong" sound, "Don't be in a daze here, all police officers are going to evacuate the people."
This time, Fat Harvey did not insist on asking Congressman Quinn for instructions.
There is no way to ask for permission.
Bateman is now the boss of Gotham.
"We can win, we have the Justice League and countless brave and fearless heroes!" Gordon suddenly became passionate and full of hope for the coming battle to defend the earth.
"Of course." Bateman responded bitterly.
Gordon didn't know it, but he had been paying attention to global events. Just now, at least fifty cities around the world suffered the same raids as Gotham.
"Battman, The Flash and I are going to Neon. Their self-defense forces are on the verge of collapse. The demonoids have rushed into Tokyo and begun to plunder the population on a large scale." Superman's voice sounded in the earbuds.
"Plundering the population?" Bateman's heart trembled, remembering the "internal information" that Harley sent to each hero at the hero conference. For demons, killing is a waste. They will not kill if they can, and they will
Organic life is brought to the transformation room and transformed into a new demon-like creature.
In other words, if the people on Earth surrender without any resistance, no one will die, but Apokolips will increase its army of billions of demon-like creatures.
In the universe, there are countless superhuman teams similar to the Justice League, and their technological level is dozens of blocks ahead of the world, but they still cannot withstand the invasion of a mere dark elite.
Just because of the extremely exaggerated 'reproduction' method of demonoids.
It's more domineering than the Kryptonian life system, or the Green Lantern Corps' ring picker.
"Ganggu, connect to the international channel and tell the leaders of various countries that once a densely populated city is lost, immediately send a distress letter to Zhenglian.
Before Darkseid or any other Apokolips leader is locked down, Superman and The Flash will rush to support within a second." Bateman said seriously into the microphone on his chin.
"clear."
But after only a few breaths, Cyborg hummed and said: "Baitman, Mr. President is looking for you. Well, he is looking for the person in charge of Zhenglian, which is probably you, right?"
"Come in." Bateman was very like the Big Three. He didn't shirk the blame or sound weak.
"Baitman, are you still not an American? America's priority is a national policy, don't you understand? Even though we haven't cleaned up all the monsters in the country, you still have the heart to support foreign countries and are always on call. Do you want to treason?!" Ma
The gang leader was furious.
Bateman said solemnly: "Mr. President, Apokolips's strategy is not to push across the city and seize the city, but to put people first and eliminate all the people on earth as a way to achieve final victory.
What tactics does the enemy use? As a defender, of course, we must use targeted strategies.
That is to say, save people first and don’t limit yourself to cities and countries.
Ensure the number of abducted Earthlings and kill the demonoids from afar."
The horse gang leader discussed with his staff for a while, but couldn't find any mistakes in Bateman's words.
"If we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on!" Mr. President sighed: "Besides, I don't know what the people of Apokolips are thinking. The earth is so big, why are they specifically targeting the United States?
There are currently 64 invasion points in the world, 42 of which are in the United States."
Bateman frowned and glanced at the world map on the screen of his watch.
The invaded city flashed with dazzling red dots.
"Every invaded city has extraordinary people." He mused while using batarangs to shoot down the approaching demonoids: "I guess Apokolips will prioritize cities with heroes.
Maybe you want the heroes to not be able to unite together?
In addition to the demonoids, there is also the leader of the Apokolips army, so if the heroes disperse, they will not be able to pose a threat to the leader."
"Battman, discovered the Dark Elite, the 'best expected' war lord Steppenwolf!" Cyborg said excitedly.
"Inform The Flash and Superman that the Justice League is gathering." Bateman said happily.
"It turns out that the leader of the Apokolips army is Steppenwolf, who was instantly killed by Harley with one move. God bless Millikin, the earth can be saved!"
The horse gang leader and the staff around him looked at each other, and both showed relaxed smiles, completely relieved.
