### Chapter 13: We Should Establish a Team, How About Calling it 'Justice League'?
[Connection Established]
As the interface extended from the Mother Box connected with Cyborg, confirming the completion of the connection, Cyborg immediately opened the Boom Tube.
"Alright, let me send you guys back home!"
Without any interception, upon completing the Mother Box connection, Cyborg possessed all control permissions of the Mother Box.
As the Boom Tube opened from the sky, under Cyborg's control, all Parademons were pulled back to Apokolips by a huge suction force.
Now, the enemies they faced were reduced to one.
"Hah!"
Behind Darkseid, the Mother Box opened a Boom Tube, and the huge suction force pulled Darkseid to return to Apokolips.
The severe pain in his eyes made Darkseid lose his composure, and the Boom Tube opening behind him made him feel even more angry.
He used all his strength to resist the traction of the Boom Tube and pulled out the foreign objects in his eyes with his hands. He needed to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
Gathering strength in both arms, he smashed the ground fiercely. The huge shockwave cleared everything within a radius of 500 meters centered on him, turning it into bare flat ground.
Wonder Woman used the Bracelets of Submission to block the impact, and Shazam survived relying on the stamina of Atlas and the courage of Achilles.
Cyborg was high in the sky outside of Darkseid's attack range. The Flash quickly moved away from the attack range and returned to the battlefield the moment the shockwave dissipated.
Ben dragged Superman's body. He didn't return to the battlefield immediately; he needed to try to wake up Superman and restore his abilities.
The body of the Pyronite, to which Heatblast belongs, emits radiation similar to the sun.
So even though it was only Ben's first transformation and his control of Heatblast's flames was at the most basic stage, he wanted to try if he could simulate yellow sunlight to help Superman recover his physical strength.
"How long was I unconscious?"
Under the irradiation of the yellow sunlight, the injuries on Superman's body recovered visibly.
"How long was I down?"
Opening his eyes hazily, under the yellow sunlight simulated by Ben, Superman gradually regained consciousness and then flew up.
"Not long, now is just the right time."
Looking at Cyborg opening the Boom Tube in the sky to send the invading Parademons back to Apokolips, Ben knew that the decisive battle was coming soon.
Whether they could send Darkseid back to Apokolips was the key to their victory this time.
The next moment after understanding the battle situation, Superman sprinted at top speed to rush to the battlefield, and Ben also emitted fierce fire from his whole body to propel his flight.
In the center of the battlefield, Shazam clenched his fists surrounded by thunder, trying to push Darkseid into the Boom Tube.
Even though constantly pulled by the Boom Tube, Darkseid still withstood the attack and backhandedly grabbed Shazam, pressing him to the ground.
"I'll crush you to death, like crushing an ant!"
Just when Darkseid raised his fist, preparing to crush Shazam completely, Superman streaked across the sky like a meteor, punching Darkseid. This caused Darkseid to lose his balance. Immediately following up with rapid continuous punches, he pushed Darkseid towards the Boom Tube leading to Apokolips.
"How dare you! I am Darkseid!"
Getting closer and closer to the Boom Tube, finally realizing that he might be about to fail, Darkseid was incomparably furious.
He opened his huge palm trying to grab the attacking Superman, but Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth bound his right hand.
At the same time, inside the Boom Tube, a dazzling green light suddenly extended, binding Darkseid's left hand and constantly pulling him towards the Boom Tube.
Hal Jordan also took this opportunity to fly out of the channel with Batman.
Batman landed on Darkseid, unfastened his belt, and activated the miniature thrusters inside.
"Quick, Cyborg! Close the channel now!"
At this time, Ben, who rushed back to the battlefield, saw Darkseid, half of whose body was pushed back to Apokolips, struggling hard, so he reminded Cyborg to close the Boom Tube as soon as possible.
"I'm closing it!"
Hearing Ben's words, Cyborg started to act, but as the Mother Box prompted insufficient energy, Cyborg was also a little troubled.
"Damn! I don't have enough energy to close the Boom Tube. I need a huge wave of energy."
Hearing Cyborg's words, Shazam crawled up from the ground and flew to Cyborg's side.
"Leave it to me!"
Watching Shazam and Cyborg fly towards the clouds, Ben also landed on the ground at this time.
Darkseid was controlled by the heroes and was about to be pushed into the Boom Tube to be sent back to Apokolips, but Darkseid was still struggling.
"Forget it, it's safer to ask Superman to input DNA afterward."
Throwing the idea of risking turning back into a human to record Darkseid's DNA sample to the back of his mind, Ben continuously condensed flames with his hands.
"Shazam!"
Shazam's shout came from the sky. A bolt of magical lightning fell on him and Cyborg, instantly completing the charging for the Mother Box.
Sensing that the Boom Tube was about to close, this failure made Darkseid feel unprecedented humiliation.
But, even if he failed, he would take away a souvenir to pave the way for his next invasion.
Breaking out in desperation, Darkseid broke through all restraints. After throwing off the little toys on his body, he reached out and grabbed Superman, pulling him in front of him.
"Kryptonian, you have to come with me!"
"Like hell I'm going with you!"
Feeling Darkseid's power, Superman's eyes emitted high-temperature heat vision, smashing Darkseid's eyes.
Severe pain made Darkseid's clenched fist loosen. Gaining breathing space, Superman immediately followed with a headbutt, making Darkseid lose focus momentarily and let go.
"Explosion!"
Accompanying Superman's escape, Ben also threw out the continuously condensed and compressed fireball at this time.
The moment the flame touched Darkseid, the constantly compressed light and heat instantly expanded and exploded.
Although the power of the flame caused no substantial damage to Darkseid, the impact generated by the flame explosion became the last straw that overwhelmed Darkseid, sending him back to his home Apokolips and allowing the Boom Tube to close smoothly.
"Phew~ Finally over."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Hal Jordan looked at Cyborg falling from the sky and smiled to greet him.
"Good job, friend! Where is that strong man with a child's temper?"
If he remembered correctly, Shazam just helped Cyborg complete the final charging. Hal was a little curious why only Cyborg came back.
"He had something to do, a... important date."
Facing Hal, Cyborg, who just promised Shazam to help keep the secret, explained somewhat unnaturally.
"Hey, let's not talk about this first. Send those captured people back first."
At this time, Ben noticed Cyborg's abnormality and changed the topic with a smile.
Hearing Ben's words, Cyborg immediately acted, controlling the Boom Tube to open again, sending all the captured people back.
At this time, Hal also flew forward to help catch those people being sent back.
"The enemy may come back at any time!"
Looking at the Boom Tube connecting Apokolips and Earth in the sky, Batman dared not relax at all.
Although Cyborg controlled the Mother Box, the Mother Box was Apokolips technology after all. The enemy could build new Mother Boxes to launch an invasion at any time.
The crisis was lifted. The Omnitrix, which had long exceeded the transformation time, ended the transformation. Ben, who turned back into a 15-year-old boy, smiled and proposed:
"Right! To be able to deal with such crises at any time, we should form a team! How about calling it 'Justice League'?"
