Chapter 202: Fleeing

Steppenwolf's axe tore through the atmosphere, emitting a piercing sound as it descended towards H'el.

*Bang!*

H'el's eyes flickered with burning red light as he extended his left hand. Countless tiny red dots emerged from the pores of his palm, exploding in an instant, piercing through the air. A hand-shaped beam of heat beam, accompanied by tremendous force, struck Steppenwolf's chest.

Steppenwolf's gaze dimmed as the red glow of the heat vision struck his chest. The metallic armor on his chest reacted like a bee sting, beginning to strongly counteract the kinetic energy and heat. His chest burned with pain, his eyes filled with fury.

His figure collided with the mass of parademons behind him, sending them tumbling backwards. He was pushed back by the force of the heat beam, traversing half the planet's atmosphere, limbs trembling as he struggled forward. The atmosphere of half the Earth was torn apart from both sides.

The red heat beam, which had been continuously shot into space, finally began to shrink and dissipate.

"He's not in the agreement, that's your misfortune," Ganthet said as he glanced at H'el's heat beam, feeling the tremendous impact and intense heat, calmly placing his hands into his sleeves and closing his eyes.

If H'el dared to crush an entire Yak, how did Steppenwolf dare to provoke him, thinking Darkseid's reputation was enough?

Well, that is probably he still didn't know of what had transpired in the recent war.

Steppenwolf, who had been continuously shot into space, felt his chest burning from the impact, his burning flesh searing, a large hole burned in his armor, his chest skin scorched, his ribs broken by the force.

Purple blood flowed from his mouth, floating in the air, anger rising in his heart, distorting his face with a grimace.

"Kryptonian!"

At this moment, disregarding all agreements, anger filled his heart, and he just wanted to destroy this planet along with everything on it.

With a breath of anger, Steppenwolf roared furiously in space, growing in size to thousands of meters, his axe growing to tens of thousands of meters, its crimson blade stimulating lava-like cracks.

With his eyes full of fury, he raised the axe of upheaval, intending to split the Earth apart.

This insignificant planet had humiliated him twice; it was time to destroy it!

"Just wait a moment."

In the atmosphere, H'el stood up calmly.

"Hurry up, Kryptonian!" Zeus leaned back in his chair, a contemptuous smirk on his face as he watched the spectacle.

"Yeah, faster than fighting three Olympian gods," H'el glanced at Zeus and flew straight into outer space.

"You!!!"

Zeus clenched his lightning bolt in anger, glaring with fiery eyes as he watched H'el leave. With a deep grunt, the surrounding dark clouds crackled with lightning, striking down countless thunderbolts at the flying parademons, venting his anger and clearing the area of the parademons.

As H'el's figure grew larger with his flight, he saw the red solar radiation and weakening magic aimed at Kryptonians from the axe blade of Steppenwolf.

With teeth cracked and oozing purple blood, Steppenwolf saw H'el approaching head-on, his eyes filled with ferocious brutality, amplifying his entire body's strength, intending to split H'el and the entire Earth apart.

*Clang!*

H'el's hand, gathering massive energy, slapped directly onto the axe blade, knocking it crooked like a fishhook. The collision produced miniature black holes that formed and disappeared at the impact point, high-energy particles exhibiting intense radiation effects, scattering various colors of light, radiating in all directions into space.

Steppenwolf's eyes bulged with ferocity, his hands gripping the axe handle painfully, his mouth torn, unable to control it. His entire body was inadvertently twisted by the force of the axe, tilting to one side in space.

"How is this possible!"

How could someone deflect his full-force blow with just a slap? This was an attack capable of splitting moons and planets.

How could it be deflected? And his axe got crooked too!!!

That axe was forged from his mother box into an indestructible axe of upheaval; The Electro Axe.

The force of this slap was already denser than the black hole density caused by the collapse and explosion of a star.

He had only seen this level of power in Darkseid.

Darkseid was able to unleash such strength based on his own power intensity.

And H'el, on the other hand, condensed massive energy through spatial rifts to unleash this level of power.

Steppenwolf didn't know the principle behind it, but seeing H'el deflect his axe and fly towards him, he was immediately horrified and turned to flee.

"DeSaad, save me!!!"

Steppenwolf's face contorted with panic, unable to face H'el, unable to stay in place. Purple blood burst from his pores, frantically using his energy to escape.

He didn't want to find out if the Kryptonian, from the ancient cosmic era, held any grudge against him or if his cruelty could match his own.

As arrogant as he was when he arrived, he was equally embarrassed in his escape, screaming in fear, afraid of being caught if he hesitated.

*Rumble...*

At his cry, the Boom Tube immediately opened, reaching maximum speed. Steppenwolf hastily used all limbs to enter the Boom Tube, feeling even the Boom Tube's teleportation was too slow, frantically swimming towards the exit.

Steppenwolf indeed lived up to his reputation as the military commander of Apokolips, surviving in the cosmic warfare without being killed or assassinated. Besides his strength, his skill in reading the wind and escaping was top-notch.

The moment H'el moved, he even called out the Boom Tube, fearing being captured and studied by the Kryptonian if he was a bit slower.

H'el narrowed his eyes, and the scorching heat vision shot from his eyes, chasing Steppenwolf into the Boom Tube, directly hitting him on the buttocks, accelerating him into the Boom Tube.

"Ah!"

Steppenwolf screamed in pain as the heat vision struck his ass, propelling him deeper into the Boom Tube. The Boom Tube closed quickly; inside was the research base of Apokolips, where the remaining heat vision caused a devastating explosion on Steppenwolf's ass.

H'el turned around, looking at the Boom Tube above Metropolis, which continued to release parademons endlessly.

He quickly flew down from space towards Metropolis, crushing all parademons along the way with his bio-magnetic field, arriving at the Boom Tube of the Metropolis S.T.A.R. Laboratory.

Apparently, actions on the other side were also swift, hastily closing the Boom Tube by the time he arrived.

Half of Cyborg's body fell from the sky, caught by H'el, and transported to the Zero Mothership for storage.

It was just a matter of seconds, and the matter was settled.

Indeed, faster than fighting the Olympian gods. As H'el returned to the atmosphere and sat back in his seat, Zeus's face remained as dark, continuing the negotiations.
