Super Detective in the Fictional World

2195 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 36

Most of Steppenwolf was protected by armor, and he wasn’t injured by the energy bullets, but he had to cover his face with the ax.

Also, he couldn’t completely avoid the impact of the energy explosions.

The dense blue rain of bullets continually pushed him back, instantly disrupting his smooth battle tempo.

Diana, who had been feeling under pressure, instantly seized the opportunity and lunged forward, her longsword sweeping across Steppenwolf’s legs.

!!
Master Wayne was an extraordinary expert at rhythm. He stopped attacking almost the moment she started moving.

Steppenwolf didn’t even have time to curse as he continued to retreat.

Arthur also went around to stab Steppenwolf in the butt with his trident; he didn’t care about the dignity of his divine weapon at all.

Steppenwolf swung the huge ax to block this shameless attack, before the ax flipped back to block Diana’s attempt to amputate him.

Just as he was about to attack, blue light flashed in front of his eyes. He couldn’t help but roar, but only had time to cover his face with his left hand.

Two high explosive bullets exploded, and Steppenwolf ate dirt.

In just one exchange, Master Wayne had screwed Steppenwolf over.

Steppenwolf, who had been suppressing Diana and Arthur on his own and hadn’t forgotten to mock them in the process, finally couldn’t keep his cool.

Roaring, he got up and swung his huge ax, and the light blue teleportation passage appeared again.

The hissing of Parademons came from the passage, and they swarmed out like locusts.

Victor was standing in front of the Mother Boxes and analyzing the energy nodes, and couldn’t deal with anything else.

The expressions of the others didn’t look too good.

The Parademons weren’t life-threatening to the Justice League, but they were a hindrance.

Master Wayne frowned. If he had had one more day, no, even half a day, to come up with a few more countermeasures, they wouldn’t be under this much pressure.

At that moment, he heard Luke’s voice. “You come up and block the Parademons outside. I’ll deal with the ones inside.”

Thinking quickly, Master Wayne threw out his grappling hook. “I don’t have enough firepower. I won’t be able to hold on for long. You have to be quick.”

Luke said, “No, you will have enough firepower soon.”

Master Wayne: ???

With a head full of questions, Master Wayne flipped out of the broken tower, just in time to see Luke launch an explosive attack.

The highly explosive bullets blew open a passage in the air, and an oval blackish-gray object flew in.

Master Wayne was smart enough to understand the moment he saw it. “Is that backup firepower support? Can I use it too?”

Luke said, “The nanosuit has connectors, but your external armor isn’t that sturdy, so you should be careful. Stand upright. I’ll send you up.”

Master Wayne only had time to adjust his posture before Luke threw him dozens of meters into the sky.

The gear moved behind him and unfolded into the shape of a cross before it stuck to him.

The nanosuit was already on standby to connect, and data ports protruded from Master Wayne’s armor so that the gear could lock onto him.

Luke finally unleashed a burst of firepower. He flipped over and fell through the hole in the broken tower. “I’ll leave it to you. Just stop most of them.”

Looking at the lock-on notification on the virtual screen, Master Wayne’s thoughts moved, and the two shoulder cannons immediately started to spit out energy bullets, taking down a large number of approaching Parademons.

In just ten seconds, Master Wayne had a rough idea of how the gear worked.

The shoulder cannons had an automatic target lock. All he needed to do was give it permission to fire at a particular target.

For example, the Pademons in front of him were all classified as one type of enemy.

In addition, he could adjust the way he identified friends and foes, and reset the cannons’ attack mode.

This was a little more troublesome, but better for distinguishing between friend and foe on a chaotic battlefield.

He was also able to freely operate the two plasma pulse cannons on his arms and use the two energy pistols at the same time.

If he had a complete set of the armor, he would also have two pulse cannons in his palms.

The shoulder cannons provided cover, while the rest was additional firepower.

As long as you had enough brains, you could become a battle fortress on your own in this multi-weapon mode.

Not only that, Master Wayne realized that Luke had been holding back.

On the excessively large sections of the external gear on his thighs, there were also two small missile launchers.

The missile boxes contained thermobaric, shrapnel, ship armor-piercing bullets (specially used against battleships), and… black hole missiles?

There were only two of the last type of missile. Old Master Wayne thought that it was just a fancy-sounding codename, like calling a weapon Hurricane or Divine Punishment.

When he read the brief explanation, however, his eyes widened. The missile could create a small-scale spatial distortion in a short period of time, which had the effect of pulling in and compressing the space into a black hole. The advantage was that it was very lethal within a short range, but its weakness was that the enemy could escape this lethal range through interference or moving quickly.

Fine, it would be hard to kill Steppenwolf with this. Master Wayne gave up on the idea.

If a black hole missile could really kill the target, wouldn’t it be better for Luke to throw out dozens of them in one go and hound Steppenwolf to death?

There were only 24 small missiles in total. Clearly, they were just to supplement the energy bullets, but they also proved that Luke was sparing no effort to block the Parademons.

This also meant that Master Wayne had slightly more leeway in making mistakes.

If the two energy pistols were a kid’s squirt guns, then a full set of firepower support gear was a high-pressure faucet.

Even hundreds of Parademons wouldn’t be able to withstand a round of damage from the shoulder cannons.

At that moment, Master Wayne finally wasn’t as worried as before. He patiently familiarized himself with the controls.

After all, double firepower meant double happiness.

Besides, the add-on components had a separate plasma propulsion system because of their excessive weight.

Although the gear wasn’t as agile and fast as the nanosuit, it was still more flexible and faster than gliding; spinning in the air as he attacked would be a piece of cake

…

While Master Wayne was familiarizing himself with this new toy, Luke, who had dropped into the tower, automatically turned the cannons on his shoulders and fired at the teleportation passage

Like a flood blocked by a dam, the Parademons that were pouring out immediately fell.

Hundreds of Parademons had already poured out to attack the members of the Justice League. Luke’s cannons were like machine guns as they bombarded them.

The Parademons that were surging forward and giving the team members a headache were like cockroaches that had been squashed under a big foot as they exploded all over the ground.

After catching his breath, Steppenwolf lunged at Victor, who was in front of the Mother Boxes, but a huge foot fell from the sky to step on the back of his head.
