It wasnât strange that Batman was uneasy.
After all, even though Alex looked completely indifferent to the Mother Box, no matter what, it was still sitting in his hand.
"This thing is completely useless to me."
"Only an idiot would want it."
Alex casually tossed the Mother Box back onto the table, as if he were throwing away a piece of trash.
Thud.
Seeing this, the Justice League members finally let out a collective sigh of relief.
At the same time, Alex casually withdrew the immense telekinetic pressure that had been weighing on them.
The moment the pressure vanished, everyone felt their bodies lighten as they regained their freedom.
"Homelander, since youâre not here to take the Mother Box, can I assume youâre here to help us?"
The Flash spoke as his excitement steadily grew.
The others, however, werenât as optimistic as he was.
Based on what they knew, the Homelander was definitely not the kind of person who helped others out of goodwillâunlike Superman.
"If thatâs how you want to see it, thatâs not wrong."
"I am here to deal with Steppenwolf."
To everyoneâs surprise, Alex nodded and admitted it outright.
Reallyâlife was unpredictable.
Originally, Alex had thought that since Superman hadnât died, the Justice League storyline wouldnât unfold at all.
Who could have known that Mechanical Superman would suddenly appear midway, actually causing Superman to disappear?
As a result, Steppenwolf had come to Earth once again.
And Alex had once more received a system mission.
The mission was to help the Justice League eliminate Steppenwolf.
The key point was the prefixâhelp the Justice League.
That was the real reason Alex had appeared in this secret base.
Otherwise, he could have killed Steppenwolf by himselfâwhy would he need the Justice League dragging him down?
Thatâs right.
At Alexâs current level of power, the Justice League really was nothing but a burden. That wasnât an exaggeration in the slightest.
"Thatâs great!"
The Justice League members exchanged glances, each seeing excitement in the othersâ eyes.
The Homelander was actually willing to help them!
With his involvement, what did Steppenwolf even amount to?
"Looks like weâll be fighting side by side again, Homelander."
Aquaman spoke honestly. "I really didnât expect this."
"I expected it even less," Wonder Woman added helplessly.
Themyscira had practically been looted clean, after all!
Working together with the very culprit felt awkward no matter how she looked at it.
"With the Homelander joining us, shouldnât we move on to the next step?"
Cyborg Victor interrupted everyoneâs emotions and spoke seriously.
"Right. Itâs time to send Steppenwolf back to where he came from."
Batman nodded heavily in agreement.
"But first, we need to know where Steppenwolf is."
"How do we even find him?"
The Flash pointed out the key issue.
Next, the Justice League members began discussing among themselves, tossing ideas back and forth about how to solve this problem.
"No need to rack your brains. I know where Steppenwolf is."
Alex suddenly spoke up.
He had already located Steppenwolf using his super hearing.
Effortless.
No one knew how Alex had done it, but at his level, if he said he knew, no one in the Justice League doubted him.
"Homelander, where is Steppenwolf?"
Cyborg immediately fixed his gaze on Alex and asked.
Alex told them the exact location he had picked up.
"Quick!"
Batman immediately called everyone over to a control console.
After typing rapidly on the keyboard, the location Alex mentioned appeared on the map.
"Pozharnov!"
Having lived for thousands of years and seen much of the world, Diana recognized it instantly.
"A ghost city near Moscow."
"There was a nuclear accident there thirty years ago, and itâs been abandoned ever since."
So thatâs how it was!
The Justice League members finally understood why they hadnât been able to find Steppenwolf.
He had been hiding in a place like that.
"Pull up the satellite imagery!"
Batman spoke while continuing his operations.
Soon, everyone could clearly see the situation on the screen.
An unknown substance had gathered together, forming an enormous cocoon-like structure.
It almost completely enveloped the entire ghost city.
Not only thatâ
The satellite imagery also showed that the cocoon contained extremely terrifying energy.
"This dome... Steppenwolf must be inside!"
"The other two Mother Boxes are definitely in there as well!"
Cyborg immediately made the obvious conclusion.
The rest of the Justice League agreed completely.
"The energy readings here are enormous."
Batmanâs butler Alfred glanced at the data and couldnât help exclaiming.
"Based on these energy levels, Iâm afraid none of our known weapons can break through."
Batman spoke gravely to his teammates.
"So we know where Steppenwolfâs lair isâbut we canât even get through the door?"
"Well, thatâs inspiring."
The Flash couldnât help complaining.
"Leave that to me."
Alex, who had barely spoken until now, finally said lazily.
The Justice League members looked at each other.
Thenâ
"Alright, letâs move on to the next issue," Aquaman immediately suggested.
"Then weâll discuss the radiation problem," Batman followed up.
Just like that, no one mentioned how to breach the dome anymore.
If the Homelander said heâd handle it, then it wouldnât be a problem.
If even the Homelander couldnât deal with it, then they had no chance at all.
After that, Alex barely spoke.
He lounged off to the side, completely relaxed, basically just tagging along.
All the issues the Justice League was discussing were non-issues to himâhe couldnât be bothered to care.
Nor did he feel the need to show off his presence.
And soâ
About two hours later, once everything had been discussed and settled, the Justice League finally decided to move out and eliminate Steppenwolf, the alien invader.
Whoosh!
Soon, fully prepared, they boarded Batmanâs aircraft and set off with great momentum.
As soon as they arrived over Pozharnov, that massive dome entered their field of vision.
The destinationâ
Had been reached.
