Within the Solar System, a spaceship suddenly jumped out of a warp tunnel.
"No way..." Big Barda felt utterly speechless at this moment.
She just randomly picked a sector, and then randomly picked a remote star system, and how did she find the target?
Didn't they say Steppenwolf wandered the Universe for a long time before he could find a life Planet?
However, she couldn't definitively confirm that this was the World DeSaad was looking for, so Big Barda decided to quietly go to that Planet to investigate.
"Let me see... Hmm... Are there that many language types on this Planet?"
Big Barda had a bit of a headache. Which one should she learn?
Just as Big Barda was using Apokolips technology to intelligently read Earth's network information, Cyborg and Cortana simultaneously detected her.
However, Cortana was currently busy overseeing the construction of the Hell and Lunar Base, so Cyborg came to report this matter to Dane.
"I've detected a new intelligent program invading Earth's network. It's from outer space."
Dane immediately said, "Adjust the Watchtower's observation telescope and find the mother ship of this intelligence!"
The data light on Cyborg's forehead lit up, and after a moment, a spaceship near Pluto appeared in their vision.
"Try to see if you can invade the internal system of that spaceship."
Cyborg did as he was told, his eyes briefly losing focus. When his electronic consciousness returned, a peculiar expression suddenly appeared on his face.
This aroused Dane's curiosity: "What's wrong? Unsuccessful?"
"Quite the opposite, too successful." Cyborg quickly composed his expression, then continued: "That's a spaceship from Apokolips, and there's a person from there inside."
At the same time, an alarm sounded on Big Barda's ship.
"Warning! You have been locked by an unknown program! Warning! You have been locked by an unknown program!"
"Shit!" Big Barda had just learned a language from Earth through Apokolips technology, but she didn't expect to be discovered before she even had a chance to use it.
She could only say to the system with a hint of reluctance, "Take me out of this star system immediately!"
Although she was confident that her abilities were sufficient to handle any difficulties, she was not so arrogant as to believe she could solo a Planet capable of killing Steppenwolf.
However, the spaceship's system gave her a very bad piece of news: "This ship's warp system is locked, unable to warp, unable to warp, unable to warp..."
Big Barda slammed her fist on the control panel. Fortunately, Apokolips's technology was quite sturdy, having considered the strength of super-soldiers like her, otherwise, that punch would have directly punched through the spaceship.
After throwing that venting punch, Big Barda quickly recovered her composure and switched from autopilot to manual mode.
She decided not to use a space wormhole and just fly out at sub-light speed in the spaceship.
But Big Barda had just turned the spaceship around when she saw a person floating in front of her—it was Dane!
Big Barda immediately grabbed her spear, and then her spaceship was torn apart by a huge force, exposing her directly to space.
Big Barda possessed the bloodline of a New God, so she could survive in space with her physical body, and even fight!
And to adapt to space combat, Big Barda's armor incorporated Apokolips's top technology, making it not only bulletproof but also capable of supporting her in super-speed flight.
So when Dane tore open the Apokolips spaceship, the Female Furies inside had already flown towards him at supersonic speed, the spear arriving before her.
Dane's super reaction allowed him to quickly dodge the thrust. He even had time to carefully examine what kind of metal was used on the spearhead.
But his attitude greatly displeased Big Barda, as if he was looking down on her.
So she raised her spearhead, sweeping it across Dane's face, but each time it grazed past him by a hair's breadth.
Dane wanted to test the mettle of this female warrior, so he raised his fist and threw a punch with a very "slow" motion, allowing Big Barda enough time to react.
She took down the shield from her back and held it in front of her, blocking the punch at the last moment.
Dane could feel that the power from his punch was being absorbed by the shield. It weakened the kinetic energy of the punch, allowing the subsequent force to be withstood by Big Barda.
"Ha! Is that all you've got?"
He didn't know what kind of technology this was, but despite being in a vacuum, Big Barda's voice still reached Dane's ears.
You're getting a bit ahead of yourself!
Thinking this, Dane put a little more force into his punch, sending Big Barda flying.
Big Barda used the momentum to spin a few times, relying on inertia to hurl her spear.
With her super strength, the spear's speed was incredibly fast.
However, this still couldn't exceed Dane's reaction time, so he simply reached out and caught the spear.
"Throwing away your main weapon? Are you serious?"
Dane didn't think Big Barda would be so unwise, so he looked at her and saw that at some point, she had acquired a short staff with an intensely bright white light emanating from its tip.
At the same time, he felt a spatial power condensing around him—a sensation he was very familiar with!
The next moment, Big Barda's body vanished before him, but Dane reacted quickly.
Holding the spear in his left hand, he raised his right hand towards another empty void.
He closed his palm, grabbing a short staff, just as Big Barda appeared there!
"How is that possible?"
"Why not?" Dane retorted.
Although he didn't know the exact operating principle of the short staff, Dane had researched the mother box and had some understanding of the Boom Tube.
The teleportation beam he used to bring the new members to the Watchtower a while ago was one of the results of his research.
They no longer needed to wear wristbands; they just needed to call out where Cortana or Cyborg could hear them, and the Watchtower would help them teleport.
In terms of user experience, it was similar to the "Bifrost Bridge" next door, but it didn't pollute the environment.
So, based on the principle of Boom Tube generation, Dane could clearly perceive Big Barda's movement path for "Apparition" and lay an ambush along her inevitable route.
The short staff's technology was not superior to the mother box, so Big Barda fell directly into Dane's grasp.
But this female warrior, like the Amazons, was fierce; she didn't surrender because of this.
Instead, she charged even more fiercely, clutching her shield and rushing towards Dane.
Dane's hands were both occupied, leaving him wide open, seemingly with nowhere to retreat, unless he wanted to attack Big Barda with the spear.
But that weapon was hers, and Big Barda knew her weapon well, waiting for Dane to use it.
It wasn't as simple as it looked; it wasn't a true cold weapon.
However, Dane did not use the enemy's weapon as she expected; instead, dazzling lightning flashed in his eyes.
Big Barda sensed divine power gathering within it, but she gritted her teeth and continued to charge.
The shield, carrying enough force to smash a chariot, slammed into Dane's chest, and lightning erupted from Dane's chest, exploding against Big Barda's shield!
The powerful energy could not be fully absorbed by the shield, so Big Barda, along with her shield, was sent flying, and the short staff in her hand also fell into Dane's possession.
Dane placed the confiscated spoils into his collection, entrusting them to the Witch for management, and then pursued Big Barda in the direction she had flown.
He activated the power of the God of Speed; the surrounding starlight was drawn into streaks of light in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Big Barda.
Big Barda thought he was going to seize the opportunity to attack, so she completely covered herself with her shield, almost as if she were shrinking behind it.
However, Dane did nothing.
A light, whose origin was unknown, enveloped both of them simultaneously, then teleported them to Earth.
This place was Amazon's Paradise Island, and as soon as Big Barda landed, she immediately launched a new attack on Dane.
Although the gravity here was much lighter than on Apokolips, it made her body even more agile, and she ran like the wind.
Dane did not initiate an attack, nor did he use any weapons; he simply used his bare hands to block all of Big Barda's attacks.
"Does not having your main weapon affect your performance?"
Not only was Dane at ease, but he could even joke with her, making Big Barda increasingly annoyed.
Meanwhile, around the area where they were fighting, Amazons, hearing the commotion, began to arrive.
"Look! Someone is fighting Dane!"
"Which sister is so brave?"
The Amazons spread the word, and soon, a crowd of women gathered around the battlefield to watch the show.
Big Barda stopped, looking around warily; these women looked very much like a group of warriors.
"Dane, why don't you return her weapon to this sister? You can't call this fair!"
Dane looked at the speaker and laughed, scolding, "She at least has a piece of armor, I have nothing, and you say I'm unfair?
Do you think I'm easy to bully just because I have a good temper?"
Everyone around burst into laughter at his words, and Big Barda's initial wariness was dispelled by these hearty laughs.
On Apokolips, she had never experienced such a feeling.
There, every training session required her to go all out, with a do-or-die mindset to achieve victory.
Because if she failed, she would be torn to shreds by the sisters she had personally trained, and they would show no mercy.
After laughing, Dane reached into a certain space and searched for a moment.
In the space on the other side of the warehouse, the Witch handed him the spear he had just thrown in.
Dane gripped the spear, then hurled it, embedding it in the ground before Big Barda.
"If you use that short staff, it will have very serious consequences here, so just use this one.
If you can defeat me, I will be at your mercy, but if I win, you can still regain your freedom, but only on this Planet."
Big Barda was somewhat amused and irritated: "You seem to look down on my strength?"
By setting such favorable terms for Big Barda, it was clear that Dane believed his strength was far superior to hers and was deliberately showing her consideration.
This was like betting odds; high odds meant low confidence, and the more generous the reward Big Barda would receive after winning, the more it proved she was underestimated.
This ignited a surge of anger within her, and she pulled the spear from the ground and charged at Dane.
However, Dane could clearly sense that this attack no longer carried much killing intent; it was more like a pure sparring match and an outlet for dissatisfaction.
So, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and he too charged towards Big Barda.
The next second, the explosive roar of their battle echoed across the skies of Paradise Island..
