Chapter 412 Dark Lord Darkseid (please order the full version!)
The stealth skills Batman Bruce learned from the League of Assassins are meaningless in the face of Russell and Diana's extraordinary perception.
Let's put it this way, Bruce at this time is like carrying a super-powerful portable speaker and a super-bright light bulb.
Even if Russell and Diana didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment now, they noticed it as soon as he arrived on the roof of the hotel.
After sensing Bruce's aura, Diana smiled helplessly at Russell.
"Let's go and see what's going on with this friend of yours?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Russell activated his magical power.
The next second, his figure turned into golden light and disappeared into the living room of the presidential suite.
After seeing Russell flash away without saying a word, Diana did not hesitate at all and also activated her magical power.
In the past, Diana could only use the divine power in her body as an external energy attack.
But after gaining the authority shared by Russell, her use of divine power became more and more skillful.
Although she is still not as good as Russell, it is not difficult for her to use her divine power to create some magical effects like magic.
Batman Bruce doesn't know that Russell and Diana have sensed his arrival.
Now he was walking towards the presidential suite where Russell and Diana were staying.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, two golden lights appeared in front of him.
Then, it quickly condensed into a human form.
After seeing the golden light transforming into Russell and Diana, Bruce let go of the batarang that he almost threw.
"Sorry, I just came here without contacting you in advance."
Bruce said to Russell and Diana.
"It's okay, do you need our help with anything?"
Diana glanced at Russell and asked Bruce.
"There is indeed something I need your help with."
"Recently, an inhuman creature appeared in Gotham City."
"In fact, these inhuman creatures had already appeared a year ago, but at that time there were only a few scattered ones, not many in number."
"But now, not only are their numbers increasing, but their frequency is also increasing."
After speaking, Bruce took out a handheld computer from his tactical pocket and handed it to Diana.
Diana did not refuse and took the handheld computer over.
"Here are some pictures I took with my helmet camera. You can take a look first."
Bruce continued.
"Um!"
Diana nodded and pressed the play button on the handheld computer screen.
This is a picture taken by Batman from a first-person perspective, so Bruce himself cannot be seen in the picture.
However, the inhuman creature in the picture quickly attracted the attention of Russell and Diana.
This is……
After seeing the inhuman creature photographed by Bruce, Russell and Diana looked at each other and saw some information in each other's eyes.
It was obvious that they all knew what this inhuman creature was.
Demon-like!
In the DC universe, Doomsday and the demonoid are both known as the most powerful biological weapons in the universe.
Unlike Doomsday, whose individual combat power is so powerful that he can trade one with Superman, the demonoid's individual combat power is not high, but the danger level of the demonoid is no less than that of Doomsday.
If Doomsday is taking the path of infinitely strengthening individual combat power, then Demonoid is taking the path of pure and violent soldier style to the extreme.
Speaking of this, we need to briefly talk about the birth of demonoids.
The predecessor of the demonoid, a prisoner captured by the Apokolips army from other planets.
These captives from their respective planets were transformed by Apokolips' technology into biological weapons that were not afraid of life and death.
The demonoids have no thoughts and no free will, and completely obey the orders of the dark lord Darkseid.
Of course, except for Darkseid, if he orders the demonoid to obey the orders of anyone else, the demonoid will obey.
Relying on his army of demonoids, Darkseid conquered planet after planet.
In the process of the battle, the number of demon-like armies is also constantly increasing.
The general settings of demonoids in comics and movies are the same.
However, one thing is a unique feature of the demonoids in the movie universe, that is, the demonoids can sense the fear in other creatures and attack and terrorize their lives.
Steppenwolf, the uncle of Dark Lord Darkseid, in the DC movie, was attacked by demonoids who were supposed to obey his orders because he was afraid of Superman's power.
"This is a demonoid, an alien biological weapon that feeds on fear."
Diana said with a serious expression.
Then, she briefly told Russell and Bruce about the war that Steppenwolf brought with the Mother Box and the demon-like army to conquer the earth.
Although Russell had some understanding of the war that Diana described, he didn't know much.
He only knew that the war was won by the Olympian gods and the three races of humans, Atlanteans, and Amazons.
In addition, some members of the Green Lantern Corps also participated in this war.
After listening to Diana's story, Bruce's expression became extremely serious.
Although he guessed that the demonoid was definitely not an ordinary creature, he did not expect that the demonoid was actually a biological weapon created by other planets.
"According to your statement, the emergence of demonoids means that the alien force that was repulsed at the beginning has the idea of attacking the earth again."
"What should we do to stop them?"
Bruce asked Diana.
"I'm not too sure either."
"However, if Steppenwolf really plans to attack the Earth again, then he will definitely find a way to get back the lost Mother Box."
"The Mother Box is now in the hands of the Amazons, humans, and Atlanteans."
"I only know where the Mother Boxes in the hands of the Amazons are kept. As for the Mother Boxes in the hands of humans and Atlanteans, I don't know the specific location."
Diana said quickly.
As time goes by, the relationship between the three races of Amazons, Atlantis, and humans has become worse than before.
Not to mention joining forces to fight against Steppenwolf and the demon-like army, it would be good if they didn't attack each other.
More importantly, even if Steppenwolf once again leads an army of demons to attack the earth, the Olympus gods will most likely not appear.
Now is no longer the age of old gods like the Olympian gods, but the age of new gods like Dark Lord Darkseid.
As the daughter of Zeus, Diana did not dare to say that she would be able to contact Zeus, let alone others.
"No matter what, since we know that Steppenwolf will definitely retrieve the lost Mother Box in advance, we can start with the Mother Box first."
"I'll figure out a solution for the Mother Box on the human side. As for the Mother Box in the hands of the Amazons, I'll leave it to you, Diana, to deal with it, okay?"
Bruce said to Diana.
Diana nodded and did not refuse Bruce.
Although she is not the queen of the Amazons yet, if she wants to take away the Mother Box, it won't be a big problem.
"Let's not talk about the mother box. You came to us not just to tell us that the demonoid has appeared, right?"
Russell, who had been silent all this time, asked Bruce.
"Of course not. Before I came here, I had no idea that these inhuman creatures were demon-like creatures."
"I came to you mainly for another matter."
Bruce said slowly.
"What's up?"
Russell then asked.
"I discovered a demon-like lair, but with my own strength, I am not sure how to eradicate this demon-like lair."
"If you don't mind, I hope you can come with me."
Bruce said directly without being polite to Russell and the other two.
Demon-like lair?
After hearing Bruce's words, Russell and Diana frowned at the same time.
Although demonoids don't look very full, they are not beasts.
If they gather in one place, it only means that someone gave them an order.
Judging from the existing intelligence, there is a high probability that Steppenwolf is the one who issued the order.
The reason why he is not the Dark Lord Darkseid.
The reason is very simple, because if Darkseid plans to take action against the earth, what will appear in Gotham will not be a few demonoids, but an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of demonoids.
"No problem, we can go to the demonoid lair with you and take a look."
Russell said calmly.
Diana also nodded, indicating that she wouldn't mind accompanying Bruce to the demonoid lair.
"Then do you need to prepare anything else? If not, we will set off now."
Bruce looked at Russell and Diana who were wearing casual clothes and without any weapons and asked.
"No, let's go now."
Russell smiled and replied.
Unlike Bruce, their own existence is a powerful weapon.
Not to mention just a group of demonoids, even when facing Steppenwolf, they can still fight the enemy with nothing.
"good!"
After saying that, Bruce took out his rope gun and pulled the trigger towards the building opposite.
After Bruce left in front of the rope, Russell and Diana flew up slowly and followed them.
Russell originally thought that Bruce would wander all the way to what he called the demon-like lair.
However, not long after leaving, Bruce boarded his Bat-fighter and drove his Bat-fighter towards the suburbs.
It is said to be a suburb, but strictly speaking, it should be an abandoned chemical factory on the edge of Gotham City.
Not long after, they arrived near the chemical plant.
While Bruce was choosing a place to park the Bat Fighter, Russell had a little sense of the situation in the factory.
Soon, all the breath of life in the factory clearly appeared in his mind.
There are quite a few!
Although Bruce knew that there were many demonoids gathered in the chemical plant, he had not actually sneaked in to take a look. He only knew that the number of demonoids inside was not small.
After sensing it with his divine power, Russell came up with the exact amount.
1358 demonoids!
Fortunately, Bruce came to them first. If Bruce went in alone, even if he had a lot of gadgets on him, he would most likely not be able to come out alive.
The individual combat power of demonoids is indeed not high, and even ordinary people with firearms can deal with them.
But the advantage of demonoids has never been individual strength, but numerical advantage.
Too many ants can kill an elephant.
What's more, the physical fitness of demonoids is no worse than that of ordinary people.
Ordinary people can use firearms and weapons, and so can demons.
More importantly, the demonoid can also fly.
Let me start by saying that this is not a particularly powerful ability, but flying can bring self-evident huge advantages in combat.
After Bruce parked the Batfighter, Russell and Diana landed next to him.
"Are you going to capture a few of them and study them? Or do you plan to kill them all?"
Russell asked Bruce.
More than a thousand demonoids, which sounds like a lot.
But for Russell, dealing with these demons requires little effort.
Even if he is alone, he can kill all these thousand demonoids in one minute.
If you don't care about collateral damage, a large-scale energy attack will be enough.
For example, throwing a magic ball at a factory that is as powerful as a nuclear bomb.
Of course, you can also directly create an energy storm that destroys everything.
"Leave a few for research, and kill all the others."
Bruce said quickly.
Although he has a creed of not killing people, demonoids are obviously not human beings.
When dealing with demonoids, he doesn't have any creed about not killing.
"Then you are responsible for capturing the demonoids you want to study, and leave the rest to me and Diana."
Russell said calmly.
Although he didn't like Russell's arrangement very much, Bruce didn't say much and nodded silently.
After seeing Bruce's response, Russell said to Diana: "Would you like to play a little game and see who can kill more?"
"Yes, but you can't use large-scale attacks, you can only use melee skills."
Diana stated her request.
"Can!"
Of course Russell would not refuse and agreed immediately.
Seeing that Russell didn't care about demons at all and had an attitude of playing with the world, Bruce suddenly felt that he didn't like Russell a little.
To be precise, he didn't like Russell very much in the first place.
However, he is now also curious about what kind of strength Russell, who is called a god by Diana, has.
Russell noticed Bruce's gaze, and under Bruce's gaze, he waved his right hand casually.
The next second, a golden sword that looked like condensed sunlight appeared in his hand.
Not only that, Bruce also discovered that the long sword of divine power that Russell had now condensed was exactly the same in shape as the Vulcan sword used by Diana.
The only difference is that one is a physical sword and the other is an energy sword.
While Russell was concentrating his divine power on the long sword, Diana also summoned the Vulcan Sword.
She did not summon the armor, but only summoned the Vulcan Sword.
"Lady first!"
Russell made a gesture of invitation to Diana.
"Um!"
Diana did not refuse and flew towards the chemical plant with the Vulcan Sword.
"How did you and Diana meet?"
When Diana left, Bruce suddenly asked about Russell.
"Meet by chance!"
Russell replied casually.
While this may sound simplistic, it is what it is.
At that time, he didn't know that he would meet Diana in the Marvel Universe.
If he hadn't happened to go to the museum that day, he and Diana might not have become a couple.
