Listening to Steppenwolf, Diana immediately realized that he was the leader of these monsters.
Feeling the powerful Aura emanating from him, Diana's eyes showed a hint of solemnity, but not a trace of fear.
At this moment, she asked with some curiosity, "You are the Dark Tyrant's minion. Why didn't he appear in person?"
From the murals in the secret chamber on Themyscira, she had seen images of Darkseid, so she could tell that Steppenwolf was not the Dark Tyrant that even the gods feared.
"Hmph, dealing with you doesn't require my great master to act personally."
Diana immediately retorted, "Is that so? But last time, the gods united and defeated the master you speak of."
"Son of the Old Gods, you have no idea what power my master possesses now. The gods you speak of are nothing but insects in his eyes."
"I am merely a criminal of Apokolips, and you should have been a gift for me to atone to him."
There was a hint of tremor in Steppenwolf's words.
"But you and your legion don't seem to have that strength."
As if to confirm Diana's words, the Kryptonian Warriors once again unleashed a massive storm, annihilating millions of Parademons.
"They are merely cannon fodder, easily acquired. Any life-bearing planet can allow us to instantly convert billions into an army."
Diana couldn't help but feel enraged by Apokolips's brutality, and her tone also carried anger: "Then are you also cannon fodder?"
This statement completely broke Steppenwolf's composure. He stopped speaking and directly swung the Divine Power great axe in his hand, charging at Diana again.
Diana also showed no weakness, gripping the Sword of Athena in her hand and meeting him.
The clash of Divine Power and Divine Power instantly erupted with terrifying might, killing the surrounding Parademons with the aftershocks.
"Son of the Old Gods, you possess the qualifications to become a god, but today you shall die here."
Steppenwolf brought down a heavy blow, which Diana blocked with a Divine Power shield, and the two immediately fell into a stalemate.
If it were on the original timeline, the current Diana would definitely not be Steppenwolf's opponent.
Unfortunately, he first lost his Divine Artifact, the Electro-Axe, and coupled with Diana's Awakening of power, the gap between them had been infinitely narrowed.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Diana let out a battle cry, her power erupting, directly pushing Steppenwolf away.
Then dozens of terrifying lightning bolts roared down towards Steppenwolf.
Facing such an attack, Steppenwolf crossed his hands in front of him, and his silver battle armor almost completely enveloped his body.
"Boom!"
As a white light flashed, a huge roar also spread across the battlefield.
The place where Steppenwolf stood had now become a giant pit more than ten meters deep, and around him, hot, reddish molten lava appeared.
"Is this your strongest power? Too bad it's useless against me."
Steppenwolf flew up from the deep pit. His silver battle armor showed no damage, meaning he suffered almost no harm from this wave of attacks.
However, the Kryptonian Warriors also noticed the situation here, and one of them spoke, "It seems Ms. Diana has encountered a formidable foe."
"That is Steppenwolf, the ultimate target of your mission this time. Go and bring me his head!"
At this moment, Zod's voice entered the minds of all Kryptonian Warriors.
Instantly, all the Kryptonian Warriors were stimulated by Zod's words, their eyes glowing red, and their breathing becoming rapid.
Originally, they had considered directly searching for Steppenwolf's whereabouts, but these seemingly endless Parademons had hindered their actions.
Therefore, they were forced to prepare to eliminate all this cannon fodder first.
Now, they hadn't expected this guy to actually jump out on his own!
At this moment, all the Kryptonian Warriors fell into a frenzy, but some still maintained a shred of rationality and shouted:
"Let's go together! Take him down first. As for who gets to claim his head and present it to the General, that's entirely up to luck!"
As the words fell, a series of sonic booms echoed endlessly, and everyone used their fastest speed to charge at Steppenwolf.
In just a blink of an eye, Steppenwolf, who was just about to show off to Diana, received a heavy punch.
"Bang!"
The immense force directly sent him flying, but before he could adjust his posture, a powerful impact immediately came from behind him.
In an instant, Steppenwolf was directly turned into a sandbag. In just a few breaths, his body endured at least nearly ten thousand heavy blows from all directions.
His battle armor had already been shattered by the immense force, revealing his scarred body.
Thanks to the New Gods' formidable physical capabilities, he did not lose his life under such an attack, but the pain was simply worse than death.
Throughout countless years, he had led endless Parademon armies to besiege and wear down powerful individuals to their deaths, and now he was experiencing the feeling of being ganged up on.
"Boom!"
When the final blow landed, Steppenwolf's body was heavily slammed to the ground by five Kryptonian Warriors working together.
At this moment, most of his entire body was twisted and deformed, a large amount of blood flowed from his body, and his Aura was like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
This sudden turn of events left Diana, who was holding her sword and shield ready for battle, no time to lower her stance.
The previous battle perfectly demonstrated what the most extreme and purest violence was, and it deeply impacted Diana's heart.
A powerful opponent who was evenly matched with her was beaten to within an inch of his life by these Kryptonian Warriors.
She was about to say something, but then she noticed that all the Kryptonian Warriors were staring at the dying Steppenwolf with the eyes of hungry wolves.
"What are you planning to do?"
Diana couldn't help but be horrified by such gazes.
The next moment, all the Kryptonian Warriors were seen diving towards Steppenwolf in the pit.
"Boom boom boom!"
To compete for this most important trophy, all the Kryptonian Warriors went completely insane.
Nearly three hundred Kryptonian Warriors simultaneously lunged to snatch it, and the instantaneous burst of power caused a large section of the entire asteroid's surface to directly cave in.
Immediately after, something that terrified Diana happened: the asteroid began to tremble wildly.
She thought it was due to the Kryptonian Warriors and was about to intervene when Zod suddenly appeared beside her.
Diana's eyes immediately lit up: "Mr. Zod, quickly stop them! This planet is probably about to explode!"
"No need to worry."
As Zod finished speaking, dazzling golden rays of light, piercing through heaven and earth, shot out from within the asteroid.
The next moment, the entire planet directly split into countless fragments of various sizes, and even the powerful shockwave that erupted completely dissipated when Zod gently pressed his palm down.
Watching Zod display such power, Diana's shock deepened even further.
