On Oa, the Little Blue Men also discovered Steppenwolf's fleet through outposts stationed outside the Solar System.
If they had followed their usual practice, even with an agreement with Apokolips, this was an important Guardian Sector for them, and they would have dispatched the Green Lantern Corps to intercept it long ago!
But now, the Guardians were eager to see this scene unfold.
Having been humiliated by Zod in the past, they had considered joining forces with Apokolips, but unfortunately, the Lantern they sent to make contact had directly lost his life.
"It's Apokolips's fleet. It seems that the Dark Tyrant is finally going to make a move on Sector 2814 again!"
"However, with the strength of Krypton's General Zod, if Darkseid doesn't personally bring his elite forces and the vast Parademons army, he probably won't be able to eliminate him."
"This is just Apokolips's vanguard. Once they clash with Zod, they will make an enemy of Darkseid. The enemy of our enemy can be our ally."
"I believe it will be very interesting when they see the most important mother box has become a living entity, and even a new God of Machines."
"Let the flames of war burn. Apokolips's distraction should be enough to divert Zod's attention, giving us more time to complete the ultimate Green Lantern plan."
As their stripped emotions fully revived, the Little Blue Men no longer approached matters with absolute rationality.
However, at this moment, a hint of worry appeared on the face of one of the Guardians.
He said, "Krypton is not the biggest threat. Ganthet and Sayd, those two traitors, have actually established the Blue Lantern Corps. That dark prophecy is becoming a reality."
At his words, the other Guardians' faces also turned grim.
"Blackest Night" was a terrifying prophecy about the future recorded in the book of oa.
The prophecy was formed when they came into contact with the emotional spectrum: seven color Lanterns would spontaneously form teams, leading to a "War of Light."
The moment the war concluded would be the arrival of the darkest night, when the black of Death would consume all life.
The Orange Lantern of avarice had already appeared; he was Larfleeze, one man who was an entire corps.
And Atrocitus and his angry phantoms had already established the Red Lantern Corps. Now that the Blue Lanterns had emerged from the hands of Ganthet and Sayd, things seemed to be progressing step by step in the direction of the prophecy.
At present, the Guardians still didn't know that Sinestro had already forged Yellow Lantern rings in the anti-matter Universe and was about to form the Yellow Lantern Corps.
And the Indigo Lanterns and Violet Lanterns had also been secretly established long ago, though they had remained dormant.
"Immediately gather more Green Lantern warriors. We must completely extinguish the nascent Blue Lanterns and bring Ganthet and Sayd back."
"These two traitors, we cannot let them go this time. They must be executed."
The Guardians no longer cared about their kinship. Originally, for their kin who made mistakes, they would at most exile them, but this time they were truly intent on killing.
Meanwhile, on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, Martian Manhunter, after several years of searching, also found his surviving kin here.
They had fortunately survived the genocide and then fled to Titan.
Because they also possessed telepathic abilities, they were taken in by the native inhabitants of this planet and thus settled down.
Although this was a group of White Martians, Martian Manhunter was still very happy, because one of the young women was his niece, named Megan.
Through their combined efforts, they also resolved the past grievances between their two sides, and Martian Manhunter lived with her on Titan for a period of time.
Originally, Megan was preparing to take her people to Earth, but after some persuasion from Martian Manhunter, they decided to go to New Krypton.
But before they could depart, they received an alert because Titan's reconnaissance fleet had discovered Steppenwolf's fleet.
Apokolips's insignia was too conspicuous, instantly putting the entire Titan into a state of alert.
"Megan, I must leave now. They must be coming for New Krypton. I must return to fight alongside Mr. Zod and them."
Martian Manhunter said to Megan.
Without the slightest hesitation, Megan made her decision directly: "I'll go with you!"
Then, they boarded their respective spacecraft and flew away from Titan, then immediately initiated a spatial jump towards New Krypton.
At this moment, on New Krypton, when he felt the time was right, Zod raised his hand and unfurled a dimensional wall, directly teleporting all prepared warriors into deep space.
In front of them was Steppenwolf's fleet.
This was Diana's first time fighting deep in the Universe. She had initially thought she wouldn't adapt to the environment of space.
But after moving her body, she found that this extreme environment, which would be challenging for humans, still had virtually no effect on her.
Then, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, she looked at the massive fleet ahead, full of Battle Intent.
At this moment, Steppenwolf, who was contemplating how to retrieve the mother box, suddenly heard his subordinate's voice:
"Report, leader, a large number of unidentified lifeforms have appeared in front of the fleet. They all show high-energy reactions within their bodies."
Hearing this, Steppenwolf walked directly to the main control screen. Looking at the displayed images, an uneasy premonition involuntarily appeared on his face.
Because the energy reactions emanating from that group of people were all too strong!
Without any hesitation, he immediately gave the order: "Attack immediately!"
In an instant, the massive fleet immediately entered attack mode, and terrifying energy cannons shot forward like dense meteors.
Zod did not intervene, but instead telepathically communicated to everyone: "Go, crush them!"
Suddenly, the Kryptonian warriors in black armor transformed into streaks of light, easily dodging all the energy projectiles and charging directly towards the fleet.
The seemingly indestructible protective force fields of the spacecraft were also useless against the Kryptonians' almost bug-like biological force fields.
They easily broke through the outermost defenses of the spacecraft, and their powerful bodies and terrifying strength allowed these Kryptonian warriors to treat these massive steel beasts like toys, ravaging them.
Diana wielded the Sword of Athena in her hand, countless Divine Power lightning bolts surging at the sword tip, easily piercing through one spacecraft after another.
"Report, the vessels are under heavy attack."
Steppenwolf looked at this scene, his heart filled with shock and anger.
Being intercepted in the Universe was something he had not anticipated at all.
But he still immediately gave the order: "Land on the nearest planet immediately."
Although Steppenwolf could ignore the cosmic environment, his Parademons army could not, as most Parademons were merely transformed ordinary lifeforms.
However, while the combat power of these Parademons was not too strong, they would absolutely obey orders, were fearless in Death, and could be produced in any quantity needed.
And facing their retreat, the Kryptonian warriors became even more excited!
