Chapter 284 Darkseid’s Hometown Explodes (Double Update, Woohoo, I Didn’t Break My Word)
The scene suddenly became cold, and the gang members who were still discussing the escape plan fell silent.
After a long time, Captain Cold slapped the magician on the forehead: "You almost led me astray. We are villains. It is normal for villains to go back on their words."
"But you clearly said that we took Batman's money and should work hard." The youngest magician in the gang scratched his head: "After joining the Justice League, you took us to the streets to fight crime, and said that we have been whitewashed and become superheroes. How come we are villains again now?"
Behind them, Aquaman Arthur and Green Lantern Hal hugged Darkseid's legs respectively, and the green lantern ring in the hand of Green Lantern Sinestro lit up, and a thick iron chain was materialized to tie Darkseid tightly. Shazam's hands were wrapped with lightning and bombarded the opponent. Wonder Woman rushed forward, pointing the long sword at Darkseid's eyes.
However, all this collapsed in the next second.
Looking at the Justice League members flying backwards again, Captain Cold said righteously:
"We have a flexible moral bottom line."
"Look at Wonder Woman. Darkseid didn't kill her. He wanted to subdue her and turn her into his personal guard. Aquaman is tough and the two Green Lanterns are also ridiculously strong."
"We are the weakest group of people in the entire Justice League. If we really fight to the death, we will definitely be the first to die. The attacks they endured are unbearable for any of us."
"Although the money is good, it's not worth losing our lives. Didn't Batman say that he only needs us to delay time, and he has a way to solve it? Then our sacrifice is even more meaningless."
Captain Cold said: "So we are not running away, but avoiding meaningless sacrifices."
He seemed to be convincing everyone, and seemed to be convincing himself.
Soon, the Golden Glider came back again. He told everyone: "Sam's mirror is ready."
The Rogues, who cooperated tacitly, took less than 20 seconds to complete all the operations they had discussed. Soon, with the sound of the building collapsing, the entire Rogues began to retreat immediately.
They passed through the trail behind without any hindrance. Not far away was a small open space surrounded by ruins, on which stood a huge mirror made by the Mirror Master, enough for several people to enter at the same time.
"The Reverse Flash didn't catch up at all. Darkseid didn't seem to care about us at all." The Golden Glider floated in front of everyone and said, "This is really a blessing."
They came to the mirror, and then...
Boom!
Thunder Shazam crashed through countless buildings like a comet, and fell straight to the Rogues not far away, with lightning wrapped around his body, groaning in pain.
The Rogues were stunned.
Shazam was dizzy for a while, and when he turned around, he saw the people walking towards the huge mirror:
"Hey, are you going to run away?"
Captain Cold was ready to fight. If Thunder Shazam still wanted to stop them from running away, although he was sorry, he might have to...
"Billy, do you want to run with us?" Captain Cold turned to look at the Weather Wizard in surprise. He didn't know when his teammate and Thunder Shazam had such a good relationship.
Then he immediately remembered that Batman had arranged for the Weather Wizard to work with Shazam, who could also manipulate lightning.
Did they become friends at that time?
"I..."
Billy was helped up from the ground by the Weather Wizard. The Weather Wizard's words were concise and sincere: "Come with me. This is not a battle we can participate in. Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are strong enough. One more of us is not much. If you continue like this, you will die. You are still a child."
The Weather Wizard wiped the blood from Shazam's mouth and nose with his sleeve: "Come with us. Batman is a vicious capitalist. He even requires children to go to the battlefield!"
Billy did not respond. The Weather Wizard knew that he could not bring himself to do so, so he half-forced Billy to walk towards the huge mirror:
"Let's find a place to hide and come out after a while."
"Batman and those superheroes will solve everything. They are powerful and smart. There is nothing they can't solve."
Billy was pulled by him and came to the huge mirror. Captain Cold and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. At least they could...
But then, they saw Billy stopped in front of the huge mirror.
"No, no." He shook his head violently: "I can't do this. Batman asked us to delay for enough time. What if... what if I escaped at the last minute and failed to delay for the time required by Batman, causing his plan to fail, we... our planet will be finished, and my father will be finished." He turned his head and looked at the people in the Rogues: "I have to... I have to save the world." "No, Billy, this is not your responsibility. Your dad will be fine. Batman protected him. Do you remember?" The Weather Wizard grabbed him: "We have to save our lives now!" The Weather Wizard said this, holding Shazam's arm tightly. Although they didn't spend much time together, the two who lacked family love had a deep friendship.
Then he looked at the young Shazam staring at him: "I'm a hero, a superhero, a superhero who's awesome."
He seemed to be saying to the weather wizard, or as if he was hypnotizing himself: "I can't escape."
The weather wizard gave a lot of advice, but no matter what he said, he finally watched Shazam break free from his grasp and rush to the battlefield without hesitation.
"Let's go, Marco." Captain Cold said.
He looked at the weather wizard who was standing there in a daze, lowering his head and looking at his hands.
"We couldn't save him, but he doesn't necessarily die. We have to take care of ourselves."
Then he saw Marco turn his head and look at him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Shazam is right." The Weather Wizard said slowly: "Is there a possibility... What if... What if it is because we deserted that the final delay was not as long as Batman planned, and ultimately led to the failure of the entire plan?" "Don't... Don't tell me you want to go back." "I'm sorry, Captain Snart (Captain Cold)." Then Captain Cold heard the voice of the Weather Wizard: "I'm afraid I have to do this. You leave the mirror space first, and I'll come later." "I won't die with you." Heat Wave said: "I cherish my life." "Don't, Uncle Marco, you are just looking for death, why bother?" The magician persuaded "I was wrong. Morality is the most important thing. Let's live together."
"You go first. This is my own decision." But the weather wizard still shook his head and said, "I'm ready, and I believe in Batman. Since he told us to delay time, he must have made enough preparations and will not watch us die."
"You dare to bet your life on Batman's preparations?" Mirror Master came out from behind the mirror and grabbed the weather wizard's arm: "Are you crazy?"
But the weather wizard resolutely shook off the hand of the mirror master, and a small tornado rolled up under his feet, and he chased directly towards the flying Shazam.
Mirror Master looked at Captain Cold.
"Marco has been in a bad mental state since he found out that his sister-in-law was the murderer of his brother."
Heatwave said: "I think Marco has some self-destructive tendencies."
"But even so... Snart, give the order." Mirror Master shook his head and said: "The Rogue Gang will not..."
"You are right, even so, the Rogue Gang will not give up any of their members." Captain Cold said:
"We are going to fight side by side with Marco."

In the Bat Cave thousands of miles away, the ventriloquist Arnold was wearing a maid outfit and sitting quietly in the empty Bat Cave.
Alfred followed Lucius and others to take refuge in the Red of All Beings. In the huge Bat Cave, only the ventriloquist Arnold, who was sufficiently controlled by Batman and could not threaten Batman as a hostage, was operating the Bat Computer.
"Oh, Master Batman!"
In the empty cave, Arnold's voice rang out: "The Rogues didn't flee from the battlefield as you said, so there's no need for me to turn the remote control into a time bomb that can't be taken off, so as to force them to return to the battlefield."
Then the ventriloquist changed his tone: "Yes, well done, Arnold, continue to monitor the battlefield."
"Yeah, it should be, it should be. Everyone knows that I am Batman, the most loyal manservant..."
Arnold asked himself and answered himself, and this weird voice resounded in the Bat Cave, echoing...
...

...
My name is Kalibak, the eldest son of Darkseid. I live on Apokolips and am the most powerful warrior under my father's command.
Although my father doesn't like me and even doesn't allow me to call him father, I am still loyal to my father.
But my father should really not like me, so this time when he went to conquer the planet called Earth, he still left me on Apokolips to guard the house.
But it doesn't matter. Even though my dad doesn't like me, I still like him very much. I will repeat this three times.
He doesn't like me because I'm not good enough. I have to listen to him more.
I am very happy to guard the house, not sad at all.
Kalibak is a burly man with lion-like sideburns and an amazing height comparable to Darkseid. Two fangs protrude from his lips, making his whole appearance look like a ferocious beast.
At this time, Kalibak was sitting on the top of a tall building on Apocalypse, waiting for his father Darkseid to return triumphantly.
But suddenly, he saw a sonic boom channel suddenly appearing without any warning not far from the horizon.
"?"
A question mark slowly appeared on Kalibak's forehead.
All sonic boom channels cannot be created out of thin air. This kind of portal is essentially just mother box technology, and the mother box must have an operator, even if it is remote.
Kalibak knew very well that all the open sonic boom channels on the entire Apokolips should be controlled by himself or his father Darkseid. As the son of Darkseid, he naturally knew the locations of all the sonic boom channels on the planet through the Mother Box.
So where did this sonic boom tunnel come from?
He stood up from the building, and then saw a burst of white light behind the tunnel, followed by a pale-faced alien - if Kalibak was not mistaken, it should be a Kryptonian, who ran out from behind the sonic boom tunnel in panic.
The other party was holding a half-naked female around his waist, with her shoulders exposed, as if she was caught in adultery.
Then Kalibak saw the other party's face, my god, there was no facial features, it was too scary for an alien.
So what is going on?
Kalibak didn't understand the situation for a while. He stared blankly at Superboy Connor panicking and grabbing the woman made of mud face, flying over Kalibak's head, bringing a sonic boom cloud behind him.
"Hey, you can't..."
Kalibak flew up immediately. No matter what, those who broke into Apokolips directly should be enemies. He had dealt with such attacks before (the Green Lantern Corps attacked Apokolips), so it was no big deal.
However, to be on the safe side, Kalibak chose to summon the dark elites under Darkseid. Each of them is an elite from the New Gods, and there is also the Nemesis Team under the Kind Grandma.
(Note: The DC villain Kind Grandma, yes, she is really called this name. Specialties are brainwashing and control, and she cultivates minions for Darkseid. The most classic story is that she once brainwashed Supergirl Kara into Darkseid's subordinate.)
Kaliback watched Superboy Connor fly away crookedly, and he also flew into the air: "No matter who you are, you are stupid enough to come to Apokolips to fall into the trap."
He looked down at Connor, who was floating in the air with a exhausted expression: "Kryptonian, why are you..."
Kaliback's words were not finished, and then he saw a pair of crimson eyes behind the sonic boom channel.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz...
Some strange and vibrating buzzing sound sounded, and Kalibak didn't understand what this sound meant.
But he soon understood.
"Aa ...
