Chapter 170 : Anti-entropy!!!

[The perspective shifts once again, and the earlier appearance of the steel bio-mechanical man is back in focus!]

[In the next instant, the timeline takes a leap backward, unfolding the narrative of how the other party reached their current state!]

(…)

[Within the university's football training ground, a young black man found himself surrounded by admirers:]

[His name is Victor Stone, excelling academically and a star football player with remarkable physical prowess! -] 

[Aside from a somewhat strained relationship with his father, he embodies the prototype of a life winner and is destined for greater things in the future!]

[Later, in a crucial competition, Victor emerged victorious once again, with his father, as always, absent due to purported busyness in the laboratory.]

[Despite his frustration on the way home, Victor refrained from expressing grievances in the presence of his mother!]

[Suddenly, a runaway truck changed everything, leading to a tragic accident!]

(Victor's mother perished on the spot, and he...)

[To live is preferable to death!]

[Unable to accept his son's impending demise, Victor's father, Silas, took drastic measures!]

[As the head of the Star Laboratory, he employed cutting-edge technology to artificially prolong Victor's life despite severe injuries.]

[Victor endured excruciating pain throughout the process, ultimately left with only the upper half of his body!]

[However, this was merely a temporary reprieve, as the extracorporeal circulation system could not sustain life indefinitely!]

[Driven to madness by despair, Silas resorted to activating the enigmatic mother box that he barely comprehended!]

[Under the transformative influence of the mother box, Victor became a half-steel entity with only half of his brain intact!]

[Surviving the ordeal, he transformed into a cybernetic being known as Cyborg!]

[Simultaneously, this new form endowed him with formidable abilities!]

[Beyond mastery of cutting-edge technology, he could traverse and manipulate the vast realm of the Internet at will!]

[Within that digital expanse, financial systems bowed to his command, making him an undisputed emperor!]

Inside the Star Lab, Silas's eyes betrayed remorse as he muttered in anguish:

"If only this footage had surfaced sooner."

Regrettably, 'what ifs' hold no sway, and Victor is now the embodiment of Cyborg!

At this moment, the agents safeguarding the laboratory received simultaneous orders, swiftly apprehending Silas!

Not due to personal gain through his powers, but rather, for his involvement with the mother box and the transformation of humans into Cyborg!

"The government is not foolish and understands that mass production could lead to significant global changes!

Unfortunately, the agents couldn't locate the mother box despite their extensive search!

[The scene transitions, and the timeline returns to normal!]

[Diana met Cyborg once, but Victor still refused to join the team, his reservations remaining unresolved.]

[On the other side, Bruce Wayne located Barry Allen.]

[He anticipated difficulties, but Barry surprisingly agreed in seconds!]

[Without delay, Bruce brought Barry on board!]

[In Bruce's silver Benz, Barry curiously munched on pizza, asking Bruce:]

["By the way, what's your superpower?"

[Bruce started the Mercedes-Benz Vision.GT, one of only five in the world, and casually replied 

["I am RICH."]

Kamar-Taj, the words seemed to possess magical powers, jolting Deadpool awake.

Strange, at his side, showed no surprise at Deadpool's resurrection.

Luckily, Deadpool wasn't awake yet and was searching for his magic cloak to join the fight!

Deadpool's attention was on the big screen, eyes filled with envy, though his mouth complained:

"The seats are so flat, it's uncomfortable to sit up!"

Strange ruthlessly chuckled:

"Indeed, not as good as your four-seater Lamborghini."

Deadpool couldn't hold back a smirk and suddenly retorted:

"Watch, I'll definitely have a four-seater Lamborghini when I make my grand entrance!"

"Just watch!"

Strange was left bewildered by the unexpected remark.

Ignoring him, Deadpool eagerly focused on the screen!

[Suddenly, the scene shifted to the bottom of the sea!]

(A mother box appears inside a circular building!)

[In contrast to the Amazon's layers of protection, there were only a dozen guards in Atlantis, a woman wearing special armor among them!"

[At this moment, the mother box vibrated violently, creating a sonic boom channel!]

[Steppenwolf is approaching again!]

[Meera and the guards are no match for Steppenwolf; everyone would die if Arthur doesn't arrive in time!]

[However, Steppenwolf manages to snatch each box in the end!]

Off-screen, the current king of Atlantis, Orm, eyes Steppenwolf with resentment!

If not for the Arthur in the picture, his mother wouldn't have been exiled to the land of death!

Next moment, Orm addressed the guard beside him directly:

"Pass my order, protect the mother box, and... arrest the human Arthur, dead or alive!!"

[Steppenwolf, having obtained the second box, arrives at an abandoned nuclear power plant and establishes a stronghold!]

[Now, with only one mother box left, he can potentially conquer the world for Darkseid, finally bringing hope of returning to Apokolips! ]

(…)

[Gotham!]

[Commissioner Gordon notices the anomaly and activates the bat signal to summon Batman!]

[The night in Gotham seems to be cursed, with the rain pouring down as always!]

[In the flash of lightning, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash emerge from the darkness!]

[As a few individuals discuss the situation, Cyborg also joins the group!]

[His father was taken away due to the Mother Box's scent!"

[Guided by the formidable abilities of the housekeeper, everyone pinpoints the location of the individual abducted by the demon!]

Several people successfully rescue the hostages and engage in a brief skirmish with Steppenwolf!]

[However, The Flash is still quite young and lacks combat prowess, Cyborg is unfamiliar with physical combat and isn't very powerful, and Batman can't fully showcase his abilities in this battle.)

[So the primary force relies entirely on Wonder Woman alone!)

[Ultimately, if Arthur, aided by Poseidon's influence, hadn't momentarily restricted the sea, there might have been a disaster. "

[Post-battle, the five individuals gather in the Batcave, and the atmosphere is somber!]

[Everyone understands deep down that relying solely on themselves and each other may not be enough to halt Steppenwolf! ]

[And in that moment, Cyborg speaks up and says:]

["The Mother Box possesses no ability to heal or kill; it exists beyond the concept of life and death!]

"It's merely reconstructed based on the master's desires and restored to its original state!")

[Seeing the confusion, Cyborg clarifies:]

["Burn a house down, and the particles still remain, even though the house has turned to smoke and ashes."

"And the Mother Box can transform that smoke back into the house!")

[Hearing this, the others immediately grasp Cyborg's meaning in his words!)

[They exchange glances, and a shared idea dawns on them simultaneously!!)

[In the next moment, Cyborg projects a hologram!"

[A figure in a red cape and blue tights materializes!]

[It's the late Superman!
