Bang!
With a loud crash.
Steppenwolf, who had been serving as Superman's punching bag the entire time, was finally knocked to the ground.
He broke through several icebergs before stopping.
The next second.
Superman flew after him.
Breaking through the glacier, he appeared in front of Steppenwolf.
"Stop!"
Superman had already raised his fist.
The scaly Steppenwolf suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
The armor on his body had long since been shattered, and his once terrifying figure now looked pitiful.
"Hmm?"
Clark's fist stopped in midair.
He wanted to see what this alien conqueror still had to say.
"The fight between us can be avoided, Kryptonian."
"The invasion of Earth…"
"Was a serious mistake I made."
"That was not our original plan, and for that, I apologize."
Steppenwolf's demeanor changed.
On one hand, he had been beaten senseless by Superman.
On the other, he feared he had already jeopardized Darkseid's grand plan.
"Actually, our plan was to invade the Marvel Universe, and we came to Earth only to pass through it."
"As far as I know…"
"The Marvel Universe is also your enemy."
"So at this point, we should actually be on the same side."
Steppenwolf sincerely revealed the original plan.
At first, he thought the invasion of Earth would be a trivial detour.
That's why he took it lightly.
He planned to collect the three Mother Boxes on Earth before heading toward the Marvel Universe.
But like every overconfident conqueror who underestimates his enemy and thinks they'll be easily crushed.
Steppenwolf ultimately paid the price for his arrogance.
And now…
He had to make it right!
Because Darkseid was waiting for them in another world!
As Darkseid's most loyal servant, Steppenwolf could not afford to disappoint him!
"How about we both stop fighting?"
"I can return the Mother Box I took and even help you deal with that big problem out there, as long as you let us pass through the portal."
Steppenwolf lowered his tone.
After all, he really couldn't beat Superman.
And the "big problem" he mentioned was, of course, Doomsday, who had been created by Lex Luthor.
"Sounds good."
"If I'd heard that earlier… I might've considered it."
Superman listened to Steppenwolf, smiled faintly, and lowered his fist.
At the moment Steppenwolf thought Superman had agreed—
Superman stepped aside.
He pointed to Mordo, who was standing behind him.
"Oh, this is the guy from the Marvel world you planned to invade."
After Superman said that,
ignoring Steppenwolf's confused expression, he turned to Mordo.
"Can you handle him yourself?"
"Don't worry, I'm not alone,"
Mordo drew a circle with one hand.
In the next moment, Hulk, who had been rampaging across the battlefield, was teleported there.
"Roar?"
Hulk looked around in confusion.
Then his gaze quickly fell upon Steppenwolf.
"Looks like it won't be a problem."
Seeing this, Superman didn't linger any longer.
Boom——!
He launched himself from the ground and flew toward the main battlefield where Doomsday was.
Only the bewildered Steppenwolf remained.
Facing Mordo on the magical side and Hulk on the physical side.
"???"
Steppenwolf was completely lost.
According to his information…
The DC and Marvel universes, their Earths, were supposed to be in mutual hatred and rivalry!
Why were these two forces now united?
"Hulk, you going first? Or me?"
Mordo stretched.
But Hulk couldn't hold back, he charged forward immediately.
"Roar——!"
"Wait! I'm a god! A new one from Apokolips…"
Steppenwolf didn't even finish his sentence.
Suddenly, he felt his body lift into the air, and then the world spun before his eyes.
The combination was successful!
Steppenwolf's line had successfully triggered the Loki-Hulk moment.
But Steppenwolf's physical endurance was much higher than Loki's.
After one combo, he was only slightly dizzy.
But that only enraged Hulk even more!
If I beat you like this and you don't die, isn't that disrespecting me!?
"Hulk! Smash!"
Hulk switched from hitting to pure pounding, pinning Steppenwolf to the ground,
his fists hammering down one after another.
Boom…
The earth shook!
The entire glacier collapsed from the tremors.
But Hulk wasn't satisfied, he opened his massive jaws and began tearing and biting.
"…"
Mordo was stunned.
At first, he'd wanted to get in a few hits himself to relieve some stress.
But seeing this scene…
Forget it. Hulk, just enjoy yourself.
...…
At the same time, on another side of the battlefield, a strange situation had formed.
It could be described as two sides fighting, with a neutral boss appearing between them.
Doomsday was that neutral boss!
With physical power equal to Superman's and the ability to infinitely absorb energy,
Doomsday quickly became the center of the battle.
Aside from the stupid demons still attacking him, members of the Justice League and Avengers instinctively retreated.
"The good news is…"
"Doomsday's helping us wipe out the demon army."
"The bad news is…"
"The longer this goes on, the stronger he gets!"
"In the end, we'll reach a point where none of us can stop him."
Everyone was helpless against Doomsday.
His twisted regeneration speed allowed him to quickly recover from every hit.
Even worse, he could evolve defensive adaptations against each new attack.
"Damn it, the first thing I'm doing when I get back is buying DC's editorial office!"
"Then I'll fire the artists who designed Doomsday!"
Tony Stark couldn't comprehend what those people had been thinking.
They had created such a sick monster.
"That's the Mother Box!"
Doctor Fate suddenly realized.
"In the future I've seen, Doomsday is powerful, but not this much…"
"It's the power of the Mother Box that caused all this!"
In the normal timeline,
Lex Luthor created Doomsday using technology from the Kryptonian ship.
It should be noted that at that time, there were no Mother Boxes.
But now…
The Doomsday standing before them all
was a hybrid creation combining Kryptonian technology and Apokolips's Mother Box.
So then…
Who could defeat him now?
The question arose in everyone's mind.
Suddenly.
Boom——!
With the blast of a sonic boom.
The man everyone had been thinking of appeared.
"I should've come sooner!"
Clark, the god of this world, appeared with his great red cape.
