The Atlanteans, from the deep sea.
Somewhere, where the second Mother Box was stored, a gray-white teleportation portal appeared.
Steppenwolf has reappeared, and this time, his target is the second Mother Box.
Mera was too weak and was defeated by Steppenwolf. Although Aquaman arrived at the last moment, he was no match for him, and the second Mother Box was eventually taken by Steppenwolf.
Aquaman then realized the seriousness of the situation, picked up his Trident of Poseidon, and went to find Batman.

Chapter 522 Lucky El (Happy New Year)
"Not bad, this side quest is pretty good."
That's right, Hu Xiaoxue's appearance in the technological world comes at a cost, but in the fantasy world, she wouldn't need to pay a fee.
However, if she appears in the technological world, it will require one million evolution points, plus one hundred luck points per day.
Therefore, Lin Qing had kept Hu Xiaoxue in the Life Space all along, and now, this side quest was practically a freebie.
Lin Qing was still unaware of how far the plot had progressed, so he was currently planning to find Batman and join his team.
After looking around and determining its destination, it vanished with a whoosh.
Just as Lin Qing disappeared, below, on a fishing boat heading out to sea, El was putting down his binoculars.
"What was that light?" El didn't see it very clearly, but he saw a light. The sky was previously covered with dark clouds, but it cleared up in an instant.
So, out of curiosity, El took out his binoculars and stood on the second deck of the fishing boat to observe.
"El, what are you still looking at up there for? Come down quickly, we're hauling in the net. This is the last net of the day. After we finish, we'll go home." An old voice came from the deck.
"Yes, Father, I'll be right down." Al put down his binoculars and ran up to the deck.
Looking at his aged father, El felt a pang of sadness. They had been out for three days, hauling in their nets countless times, but hadn't caught many fish.
Selling the fish they caught over the past three days would barely cover their costs for this trip. If the fishing boat weren't their own, they might have lost money.
"This net is so heavy. I hope it will bring a good harvest," the father said with a slight smile.
"Father, let me do it, you take a rest." El quickly took his father's hand and tried to twist the handle, and the fishing net slowly tightened.
"It's so heavy, did I poop some kind of garbage?" El couldn't twist anymore.
"You jinx, what are you saying? Let's do it together!" The father quickly urged the two of them to work together, and finally, the net slowly came up.
"See? I told you it was garbage!" El looked at the piles of deep-sea trash online with a troubled expression.
"Sigh, let's get the net up first and clean up this trash!" El's father, Eisen, said worriedly.
The fishing net, which was over 20 meters long, was half covered in garbage, and the rest was filled with fish that weren't worth much.
"Huh? What's this?" While cleaning up the trash, El found a wooden box wrapped in tarpaulin and took it down.
"It's quite heavy, and it's locked," El said.
"El, what did you find?" Eisen walked over and saw that it was a small locked box.
"Tap it open, the lock is rusted shut." Eisen handed a wrench to Al.
Without saying a word, El struck the rusty lock with a wrench, and it snapped in two.
"There might be gold in there!" El said with a grin. He didn't really expect it to be gold; he was just trying to lighten the mood after the disappointing harvest.
"Haha, you little rascal, if it really is gold, then I'll sell this fishing boat and give it to you to do that business you've always wanted to do," Eisen said half-jokingly.
El didn't reply, but rather opened the box. Inside, there was no gold, only moss-covered stones.
When El saw it, he realized it was indeed a bunch of junk, so he emptied out all the stones inside.
"Hehe, alright, hurry up and clean up the fishing nets!" Eisen turned around and continued with his work.
Just as El was getting ready to get to work, he suddenly noticed that when one of the stones fell to the ground, some moss was broken open, revealing a different color inside.
El quickly picked it up and wiped off the moss in no time, revealing a rusty but slightly golden surface.
"This is Father! Look at all this, it really looks like gold!" El exclaimed excitedly.
"What?" Eisen immediately ran over, took a closer look, then put it in his mouth and bit it, exclaiming in surprise, "This really looks like gold!"
Immediately, the two hurriedly wiped all the moss off the stones, and then confirmed that they were all gold nuggets.
"Haha, twenty yuan in total! We're rich! We're rich! Haha!" Al and Eisen immediately danced with joy, laughing like children.
Lin Qing was unaware of what had happened to Eisen and El, even though it was a gift from his newly acquired talent.
Lin Qing has now arrived in Gotham City. With a sweep of his divine sense, he easily learned the location of Batman's base.
"Perfect, everyone's here, hehe." Lin Qing's figure flashed and disappeared from a building.
"If he had been born inside the power plant, the energy from the mother box could have brought him back to life."
“The Kryptonian spaceship has an amniotic sac, which is very suitable.”
"no."
"Diana".
"Bruce, no, you have no idea what kind of energy you're facing."
Even the slightest chance.
"So what? Awaken another monster? Like Luther?"
Just as they were discussing whether or not to save Superman, a message reached Batman.
"Wait, there's an important message." Batman reached out to stop Diana.
"The highest-ranking official from China has been dispatched to help us. He'll be here soon?" Batman stared at the message, completely bewildered.
"Alfred, what's the story behind this news?"
“Young Master, this news came from the Chinese government a minute ago. I think it’s not fake,” the butler said calmly.
"The Supreme Commissioner of China? What is that?" No one seemed to have ever heard of it.
“I think I’ve heard a little about this. I’ve heard that there’s an ancient tradition in China. I suppose they’ve also learned about Steppenwolf and want to help us,” Diana said thoughtfully.
"Forget about him for now, our priority is to resurrect Superman." Batman brought the topic back to the present.
After a fierce struggle, the five of them finally agreed to resurrect Superman, subconsciously ignoring the special envoy from China.
The following day, the five members of the Justice League, fully armed, finally arrived at the Kryptonian spaceship, which was heavily guarded by the military.
Superman's remains were also brought over by Cyborg and The Flash digging up his grave.
The five people entered the Kryptonian spaceship. When the door opened, the ground was covered with a nutrient solution resembling amniotic fluid.
"This is truly amazing." Cyborg was utterly shocked by what he saw.
Chapter 523 Clark's Resurrection (Happy New Year)
The Flash was also shocked: "This is insane."
Aquaman took Superman Clark's body out of the coffin, slowly walked down the steps, and then placed Superman in amniotic fluid, gently sinking him down.
At this moment, Steelbone took the third mother box out of the protective device and then walked to the spaceship connection controller that was parked to the side.
Steelbone's left hand deformed and then connected to the spaceship's controller.
"welcome!"
Instantly, Cyborg knew what was needed to activate it: "Luthor burned out the circuitry, which brought his monster (Doomsday) to life. We need very strong electrical energy."
The Flash rubbed his nose and said, "I think I might be able to do it. I'll try to start it up with electricity. If the distance is far enough, I can draw an extremely strong current over."
Once everything is ready, the mother box is dropped from a height, and the Flash needs the mother box to draw in enough current the instant it touches the water surface to activate it.
Then, things went very smoothly. The Mother Box was activated immediately, and powerful energy surged into Clark's body through the amniotic fluid in an instant.
In an instant, under the influence of this energy, Clark, who had already died, opened his eyes.
"boom!"
Clark shot straight into the sky, smashing a large hole in the Kryptonian spaceship. The Mother Box, however, was sent flying by the impact and disappeared without a trace.
No one cared about this scene; the five Batmen were staring in horror at Clark, who had come back to life and was now flying in the sky.
Clark seemed to have just been resurrected and was still a little confused about what was going on, so he randomly chose a somewhat familiar place and landed.
Clark tried hard to recall, and suddenly, he sensed an unusual presence behind him and slowly turned around.
Aquaman, Diana, The Flash, and Cyborg stood side by side, with police cars and several police officers parked behind them.
Lin Qing was observing this scene from a rooftop not far away. As required by the plot, Lin Qing did not go to participate, but simply kept an eye on things from the sidelines.
The situation was fine until suddenly, the mech inside Cyborg went out of his control. Because Superman was too strong, the mech fired an attack at Superman without his consent.
Superman, being who he is, easily dodged the attack with a slight turn of his head. "Boom!" The attack struck the stone wall behind him.
Upon seeing this, Superman immediately became enraged. His eyes flashed red, and suddenly, two red laser beams shot directly at Cyborg.
The latter's arm instantly transformed into a shield, which he then raised to block the laser. After a few seconds, he could no longer hold on and decisively dodged the attack.
“He’s not lucid; he doesn’t know who he is,” Diana said solemnly.
Then, the four of them started a chaotic battle with Superman. However, Superman's strength was so great that he could be considered the number one person on Earth. No matter how many of them used their ultimate moves, they were all brutally beaten by Superman.
Superman looked down at his four defeated opponents with an arrogant expression when suddenly Batman's voice rang out: "Clark."
“I know you.” Superman walked toward Batman with a suppressed expression.
Diana suddenly jumped over from a distance and stood in front of Superman, saying, "Please don't force me to do this."
