Chapter 376 Big Event - Wild Alliance (9)
"Clang!"
The Bronze Round Shield flew high. After three minutes of full-force attacks, Yang Le finally knocked away Wonder Woman's last weapon. Although these three minutes were short, Yang Le clearly understood Wonder Woman's strength.
Don't think that beastification has enhanced Wonder Woman's physical fitness. Compared to her usual strength, it's only a fraction of what it was. A beast that only relies on brute force is no match for a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. Even Hercules, the mighty Hercules, couldn't complete the Twelve Labors without sufficient wisdom.
Wonder Woman, having lost both her weapons, was now wide open. In a panic, she quickly retracted her beast claws. Her intuition told her she had to do this! Unfortunately, it was too late. Before Wonder Woman could retract her hands, Yang Le had already rushed into her embrace. Blue electric light flashed, and just like dealing with Big Barda and Hawkgirl, Yang Le used the same method, pressing his lightning-charged palm against Wonder Woman's chest.
"Crackling!"
Blue electricity scattered, quickly spreading throughout Wonder Woman's body. The beast fur all over her body stood on end, and she kept letting out painful wails, her gaze gradually losing focus.
"Roar!"
It was unclear whether it was Wonder Woman's counterattack or the manipulation of the Starro variant. The lioness's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she swung her beast claws fiercely towards Yang Le's head. Unwilling to miss the opportunity before him, Yang Le didn't let go. He only turned his head, and Wonder Woman's claws grazed past his head.
This was Wonder Woman's last counterattack. After the strike missed, she finally lost the ability to resist. Her massive body after beastification fell towards Yang Le in front of her, and at the same time, a Starro variant crawled out of her mouth. Changing his palm to a grab, Yang Le hooked upwards and firmly grasped the Starro variant in his hand. Blue electric light flashed again, and the red starfish was instantly roasted black, wisps of smoke rising from its corpse.
Discarding the roasted Starro casually, Yang Le reached out and caught Wonder Woman, who had reverted to her original form and was falling towards him. Unlike what it looked like, although Wonder Woman's body seemed strong and agile, once touched, one could find that her body was still as soft.
Due to the battle and beastification, Wonder Woman's battle suit was now badly damaged. As for Big Barda and Hawkgirl, perhaps because their body size didn't change much after beastification, their battle suits weren't as torn as Wonder Woman's.
Faced with the alluring scene before him, even the upright Yang Le couldn't quite handle it. Wonder Woman was once Yang Le's goddess when he was a child, until he watched "Injustice: Gods Among Us" and that filter faded a lot. It must be said that garbage comics and an idiotic writer can really ruin a character.
Yang Le freed one hand, tore off his black clothes, and wrapped it around Wonder Woman's body. Then, looking at the curvaceous beauty before him, Yang Le felt that Wonder Woman was even more alluring now than before.
He lightly slapped himself in the face. Yang Le couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I haven't become a Greek god, so why is my brain full of dirty thoughts?"
Yang Le's slight body movements woke Wonder Woman. Diana's recovery ability, blessed by the gods, was also top-notch. Even moderate injuries could be easily recovered. Coupled with the Amazonian characteristic of not getting tired, after only a short rest after fainting, Diana's injuries had already recovered considerably.
"You are... Yang Le?" Wonder Woman wasn't like an ordinary person, doing that sleepy-eyed act. She immediately opened her eyes and saw Yang Le holding her.
"It's me." Yang Le nodded and then proactively put Wonder Woman down from his arms.
"I didn't expect you to have this human-like form." Diana saw Yang Le's bare upper body and then saw the clothes draped over her body. She immediately understood what had happened. She neatly tied the clothes around her body to prevent the clothes from falling off during exercise.
"Thank you. By the way, what's the situation now? How long have I been unconscious?"
"You're welcome." Yang Le shrugged, suppressing the dirty thoughts in his brain, and said with a normal expression.
"The situation is not optimistic. Batman is out of communication. The beastmanification brought by the Starro variant has already shifted from super heroes to ordinary people."
"Batman? Starro variant?" Wonder Woman frowned slightly. "It seems a lot has happened while I was unconscious. Tell me about it in detail."
Yang Le naturally had no objections, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a news program started playing on a large screen hanging on a tower not far away. The sudden sound of breaking news music attracted the line of sight of both of them. The program that erupted on the screen was Lex Luthor's.
Wonder Woman frowned and said, "It seems this business is inseparable from Lex Luthor."
"I think so too." Yang Le nodded.
"Maybe only Superman wouldn't think so." Wonder Woman said half-jokingly. Facing Superman, who believed in the inherent goodness of humanity, even she sometimes felt helpless, but of course, there was also admiration in her heart.
"Let's not talk about that for now. What's the situation with Batman?"
"He should have been attacked. I had communication with him not long ago, but he suddenly went silent. But because Cyborg said your situation was an emergency, I came to your side first. As for Batman's side, I told Robin to go check it out."
The reason for coming to Wonder Woman's side first was because superhumans after beastmanification were definitely more dangerous than ordinary people after beastification. If Wonder Woman was also beastmanified and left unattended, it was very likely that she could destroy a city in a matter of minutes.
Wonder Woman naturally understood this reason. The wisdom Athena bestowed upon her allowed her to understand this simple reason in an instant.
Wonder Woman tilted her head, went around Yang Le's body, and looked behind him. Then she pointed behind him and said, "What's going on with that Starro?"
Hearing this, Yang Le turned his head and indeed saw a blue-purple Starro not far behind him, using its small tentacles to tie up the roasted Starro variant. Inaccurately speaking, it was half of one, because it had already eaten half of it.
Faced with the scene of cannibalism, Yang Le couldn't help but click his tongue and said, "Even if you're hungry, you don't have to eat that thing, right? That's your same kind. Maybe you two were originally one entity."
After eating the last bit of Starro variant, Starro rolled his big eye at Yang Le. Relying on telepathic ability, Yang Le understood his meaning.
In Starro's view, this red thing in front of him was not his kin at all. The reason was simple: the genes in their bodies were very different. Besides, he was Starro the Conqueror. In the place where he was born, everyone was actually considered relatives, but no one showed mercy. It was either eat or be eaten.
Moreover, the reason he ate the Starro variant was also to get rid of this thing.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 377 Big Event - Wild Alliance (10) Apex Predator
Afterwards, Starro explained everything to Yang Le and Wonder Woman.
As a predator, he possesses the ability to sense lifeforms, which is his instinct. Moreover, if combined with his telepathic ability, he can even pinpoint a specific race, just like targeted searches on the network.
"I understand," Wonder Woman suddenly realized. "So you ate the Starro variant in order to fully understand him, so that it would be easier for you to search for him."
Starro crossed his two tentacles together, just like a human crossing their arms. The up and down movement of his body was probably a nod, indicating that he agreed with what Wonder Woman said.
'That's right, so now I've become a precise locking system, and any variant cannot escape my eyes.'
Yang Le smiled and said after hearing the voice in his brain, "In that case, we can cooperate."
Starro understood what Yang Le wanted to do the moment Yang Le finished speaking. Telepathic ability is just that useful. He swayed his body and said.
'Indeed, we can try it as you think.'
After Starro finished speaking, he jumped onto Yang Le's shoulder, and Yang Le, carrying Starro, flew into the high altitude.
"Honestly, I thought you would control me directly," Yang Le joked.
Starro rolled his eyes at Yang Le again and said, 'I'm too weak now, I can't even enlarge myself or use the Clone Technique. If I wanted to control you, I'd probably become like that red starfish immediately.'
Seeing this, Yang Le stopped talking. After flying to a suitable altitude, he raised his right hand and began to gather energy. Cyan electric current gathered in his palm, and even dark clouds began to appear in the sky.
Diana, seeing this scene, widened her eyes. At this moment, Yang Le reminded her of someone, her father, who was also the King of Gods, God-King Zeus.
It wasn't that Diana was being overly sensitive. There were not a few superhuman who used lightning, but at most they used ordinary lightning or magic lightning, which wasn't even worth a second glance from Diana.
But at this time, Yang Le was using Divine Thunder. This was not something that anyone could wield. Even she couldn't use it without the God-King's permission, but Yang Le could use it at will. Although the breath was a bit different, it was indeed Divine Thunder.
At the same time, as Yang Le continuously gathered energy, the Divinity of War he possessed also began to manifest. Ordinary people might not be able to feel it, but for Diana, who was a demigod, it was as conspicuous as a beam of light in the darkness.
"Tell me the target."
Because of the sound of thunder, Yang Le had to speak loudly at this time, but Starro on his shoulder was speechless.
'You know you can talk to me directly in your brain, right?'
While complaining about Yang Le, Starro also marked the real-time position of all variants in Midway City in his brain.
Ignoring Starro's complaints, Yang Le swung down his raised right hand the moment he received the message, and the rumbling lightning in the sky fell accordingly.
Countless lightning snakes struck down from the air, each one accurately hitting the Beastmen. All the Beastmen in Midway City received the attack at the same time, including Hawkman who had been knocked unconscious by Wonder Woman. Yang Le had almost forgotten about him, but this time it was solved together.
After the Divine Thunder wandered through the Beastmen's bodies for a while, the Starro variants couldn't bear the torment and drilled out of their bodies one after another. But what greeted them was not a safe open area, but the second Divine Thunder that followed.
Of course, Yang Le wouldn't just force the Starro variants out and leave it at that. That would only allow them to choose new hosts again. Precise follow-up attacks were the key.
With the cooperation of Yang Le and Starro, all the Beastmen in the city were eliminated in less than a minute. As for the Starro variants who were the culprit, they all turned into fragrant cosmic grilled starfish.
Even because it was resolved too quickly, the masses who were originally fleeing didn't even react. Some people ran far away before realizing that the Beastmen were gone.
Yang Le landed slowly, and Starro left his shoulder, floating to one side on his own.
'Since everything is resolved, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now.'
After speaking, Starro was about to turn around and leave, looking like a student in a hurry to catch a bus.
"Snap."
Yang Le reached out and grabbed Starro, who was trying to leave, and said to the panicked latter, "No, you can't leave. There are still several cities' Starro variants waiting for you to solve."
'Don't push your luck, you inferior life form.' Starro desperately twisted his soft body, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape from Yang Le's iron claws no matter what.
'I've already solved the trouble in one city for you, which is already more than enough. What I do next has nothing to do with you!'
Yang Le looked at the twisting and crawling Starro and said playfully, "Why do I feel like you have ulterior motives? Aren't you planning to take all the Starro variants in the entire city for yourself?"
Starro's twisting body paused for a moment, but he quickly returned to his original state.
'How could that be? I just want to find a place to recuperate.'
"Stop with your petty thoughts, Starro." Wonder Woman stepped forward, looking even more graceful in her battle damage state. "You must be wanting to eat all the Starro variants and then quickly recover your strength, right?"
Athena's wisdom made Wonder Woman's words hit the nail on the head. Seeing that pretending to be foolish was useless, Starro had no choice but to accept his fate.
'That thing is useless to you anyway. What's wrong with me using it to fill my belly? I promise that even if I recover my strength, I won't cause trouble for Earth again, is that okay?'
Facing Starro's request, Wonder Woman just shook her head and said, "I'm not Superman. Being gentle to enemies is being cruel to oneself."
Hearing Wonder Woman's words, Starro could only let out a sharp screech, and then began to frantically bombard the brain of Yang Le and Wonder Woman. This was the only attack he could do with his current strength.
"Hold this for me." Yang Le seemed to suddenly think of something. After handing Starro to Wonder Woman, he pressed the Omnitrix again.
After a burst of dazzling white light, the originally tall and handsome Asgardian Gods disappeared without a trace. Replaced by a creature that was green all over, with a pair of big black eyes, and only reached Wonder Woman's thigh in height, like a frog.
"Upchuck." Yang Le patted his belly and loudly called out his current name.
Seeing that Wonder Woman hadn't reacted to his transformation into Upchuck, Starro, who was being held in her hand, trembled. The speed of the trembling was almost catching up with a motor.
This was because Conqueror Starro, as a predator, could more directly feel something than other lifeforms.
That was the breath of an apex predator.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 378 Big Event—Wild Alliance (11)
"Um, does this form of yours have any ability?"
Wonder Woman looked down at the ugly and cute Upchuck in front of her. Based on appearance alone, she couldn't sense any threat from Yang Le at this moment, far less than his previous form.
"Upchuck, Top Predator." Yang Le patted his round belly with one hand. "Simply put, it's about being able to eat and eating everything."
Upchuck's race name is very direct, called Devouring Star People. This name directly expresses their ability and characteristics. They eat everything and have a huge appetite. To what extent? The planet that nurtured the Devouring Star People was destroyed by themselves long ago, destroyed by eating.
Not only that, in the long time of Devouring Star People's reproduction, they have eaten about 11 planets. Because of this, they also gained a nickname—Cosmic Locusts.
The main reason why Upchuck is so edible is because their stomach is not like ordinary creatures. Their stomach is an Interstellar Sac-like Quadrant, simply put, like a pocket universe. And because of this pocket universe, all Devouring Star People are connected. They can also sense whether their tribesmen are in danger through their stomachs.
Yang Le ran quickly to Hawkman's side with his short legs, opened his big mouth, and three tongue-like tentacles rolled up the Starro variant.
'That's mine!' Seeing his food being eaten by someone else, Starro immediately became anxious, even forgetting his feeling of fear.
"First come, first served." Yang Le swallowed the Starro variant with a gulp. "I'm going to eat all those variants next, and of course, you have to come with me."
'Dream on!' Starro said sharply. To make a creature whose purpose of survival is devouring watch another creature eat in front of him, while he can't eat, it's better to kill him.
"If you don't go, I'll eat you now." Yang Le spat out three tentacle-like tongues, wriggling around Starro. Of course, Yang Le didn't really touch Starro, after all, Wonder Woman was still holding him.
Wonder Woman didn't find Yang Le's tongue disgusting, and even deliberately sent Starro towards Yang Le's tongue, scaring Starro into agreeing.
'Okay, okay, I'll go with you!' Starro gave up, knowing he had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves. Who told him to be so weak at this time?
Yang Le used his tongue to roll Starro over from Wonder Woman's hand, and then called over the Little Broken Car. He forcibly restrained the desire to swallow Starro and threw him into a jar that had been prepared long ago.
"I'll leave these three to you. I'll go and recover those Starro variants first." Yang Le waved his short, stubby hand, closed the car door, and drove away from the scene.
Wonder Woman also waved her hand. Although she had many questions in her belly about Yang Le's form just now, she knew it wasn't the time, after all, the business hadn't been resolved yet.
Wonder Woman withdrew her gaze and looked at the three people lying on the ground. She regretted a little why she hadn't driven the Stealth Jet over. However, when she cleaned up the battlefield, she found that Hawkman's Nth metal war hammer had disappeared.
"Ptooey!" Yang Le opened his big mouth and spat out the war hammer that he had secretly rolled into his stomach just now. Cosmic Pocket is so convenient for transporting goods. In that situation just now, he felt sorry for himself if he didn't take advantage of the situation.
As for Wonder Woman's equipment, that thing was blessed by God. Stealing that thing would be easily discovered, and reforging it would be very troublesome, far less convenient than Nth metal weapon.
It's a pity that he only took a war hammer. After all, Hawkgirl's treasure blades were near Wonder Woman, and Yang Le really couldn't do anything. However, a war hammer made entirely of Nth metal was enough for him to squander for a while.
————Divider Line————
Batman, who had turned into a werewolf, scratched his nose with his claw again. The sense of smell loss caused by Shark Repellent before had slowly begun to recover. He could finally find the little brat who had made him so embarrassed.
However, this game of hide-and-seek hadn't even started before it was over, because Dick didn't continue to hide but chose to jump out.
"Come catch me, big Doggy!" Dick, draped in a cape he didn't know where he got it from, made a funny face at Batman, and then ran away in one direction regardless.
The beastman who had lost reason couldn't see such an obvious lure. He roared and rushed towards Dick. Relying on the beastman's powerful physical strength, Batman caught up with Dick in almost just a second.
Dick, running with his head down, knew without looking back that he was about to be caught. The huge shadow that blotted out the sky had already enveloped his entire body.
But Dick was not flustered at all. He hid the grappling hook gun, which he had been holding in his hand and had simply modified, under his cape, and pressed the trigger at Batman behind him.
"Bang!" The grappling hook pierced through the cape and shot straight towards Batman. Batman, who was only focused on chasing and had lost reason, couldn't notice the sneak attack hidden under the cape. By the time he noticed, it was too late to evade.
After Dick's modification, the grappling hook's claw was removed by him, leaving only a steel nail connecting the rope and the claw. Under the power of the grappling hook gun, this steel nail pierced straight into Batman's shoulder.
Hearing the wail from behind, Dick quickly pressed the button on the device hanging on his utility belt. This device was modified from Electric Fist, and its only purpose was power generation.
The electric current was transmitted along the belt to the grappling hook gun, and then through the grappling hook gun's rope, finally reaching Batman's body.
Accompanied by electric light and Batman's wail, a red starfish crawled out of his mouth. Seeing this, Dick quickly cut off the electricity to prevent lightning from causing too much damage to Batman who was returning to his original form. At the same time, he also threw out the Batarang he had prepared long ago, the goal being the Starro variant that had crawled out.
Different from ordinary Batarangs, this Batarang was sharpened, and it was generally used to deal with non-human enemies. Now it was just right to use it on Starro variant.
Accompanied by a sharp sound of air being torn, the Starro variant that had just seen the light of day was immediately split into two pieces, and finally fell to the ground. Before death, its tentacles were still twisting non-stop, as if venting its unwillingness.
Dick forcibly restrained his desire to crush it with one foot. Being taught by Batman, he knew that this thing was good evidence and experiment ingredients. Reason told him that he must preserve it.
Catching Batman who was falling towards him and gradually returning to humanoid form, perhaps because the tense emotion disappeared, Dick felt a burst of weakness in his body, so that he couldn't catch the tall Batman, but was instead pressed under him.
"You should lose weight, Bruce." Dick said helplessly, lying on the ground.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 379 Big Event - Wild Alliance (End)
Dazedly, Bruce Wayne opened his eyes. The first thing he felt upon opening his eyes was the pain from his body, but he didn't even furrow his brow. After all, for him, pain was like morning wood, something he experienced every day.
Then he sorted out what had happened in his brain. When he sat up and realized he was lying in his room, Bruce understood that someone had saved him.
The sound of the ancient wooden door opening awakened Bruce, who was in thought. His body tensed for a moment, but he relaxed a little after seeing who it was.
"I thought you would sleep a little longer," Dick said as he walked in, carrying gauze and medicine. "I didn't expect you to wake up just as I went to check on Alfred."
"How is Alfred?" Bruce sat up. As the blanket slipped from his body, it revealed a sturdy physique wrapped in bandage. Looking closely, it wasn't hard to notice that on the skin exposed without bandage, there were also many faint marks, all left behind by healed old wounds.
"His state is better than yours," Dick said, placing the medicine on the table beside him. "But he is an old man after all. After all this tossing and turning, he definitely needs to rest for a while."
"How are you, Dick?" Bruce looked at Dick worriedly. "Did I hurt you?"
"Yes, but not as bad as during our training," Dick said nonchalantly. But Bruce noticed that Dick was wearing inappropriately long clothes, as if to hide something.
Bruce was silent for a while. After deciding in his heart that the family must go to the hospital together, he didn't expose Dick's concealment, but instead shifted the topic to another matter.
"How is the beastification event going?"
Hearing Batman's words, Dick put on a sour face, pulled a chair over, sat down, and began to explain.
"What else could happen? Lex Luthor somehow got a drug that can deal with the Starro variant. As long as this drug is injected into a human body, it can force the Starro variant out of the human body. Luthor gave this drug to the nation, and they, like injecting anesthetic into beasts, used special guns to treat those beastmen everywhere. In just 24 hours, all the beastmen were dealt with by them."
"Because of this, now the internet is full of comments saying the Justice League is useless, that so many superheroes are not even comparable to an ordinary person like Luthor."
Dick continued indignantly, "If you ask me, that Starro variant was probably created by Luthor. This is all an act he directed and performed himself. You know, the beastification event just happened less than three hours ago. It's impossible to develop such a powerful targeted drug in such a short time."
Bruce pondered. He knew Dick's words very well. Three hours, even capturing the pathogen might take more than half of that time, let alone developing a drug. It's simply an incredible tale.
But thinking about this now is useless, because no matter what Luthor's purpose is, he has already achieved it. The most important thing right now is to give everyone in the Justice League who has undergone beastification a thorough examination to prevent any abnormalities in their body.
"Oh right, there's one more thing," Dick said as if suddenly remembering something. "The Queen of Paradise Island, Hippolyta, seems to be dead."
Bruce, who was just about to get out of bed, felt a jolt throughout his body upon hearing this news.
————Divider Line————
Yang Le, who had been busy all day, was now sitting in the Little Broken Car. He was currently using the Little Broken Car to analyze the Nth metal war hammer in front of him, while Starro was locked in a little aquarium.
Suitable water temperature, soft fine sand, and coral as decorations, this aquarium that anyone would stop to admire for a while, Starro actually didn't appreciate it. This little guy clamored that if Yang Le really treated it like an ordinary starfish, then it would definitely swallow Yang Le's head into its belly.
In response, Yang Le first poked Starro with a smile, and then, ignoring the latter's wails, resolutely threw it into the aquarium. Don't underestimate this glass, it's all part of the Little Broken Car's body. Ordinary superhumans can't break it, let alone Starro, who is so weak that Yang Le's flesh (with the help of the Little Broken Car) can bully it?
Ignoring Starro's curses, Yang Le wholeheartedly devoted himself to the research of Nth metal. This thing is much more powerful than Marvel's Vibranium. If only comparing hardness, it's hard to say which one is more powerful, but if comparing versatility, Nth metal has many more tricks.
Although Vibranium, after research, can also be used for medical and other purposes, Nth metal itself has the ability to heal its users.
Not only that, canceling gravity allows users to fly, comprehensively strengthening the user's physical fitness, reducing physical, energy, and magic damage. Nth metal even has a restraining effect on ghosts or magical creatures. And these are far from its limit. It can truly be called a Swiss Army Knife. Yang Le had long been coveting this metal.
However, none of the above functions are the main reason why Yang Le wanted to get it, because the Omnitrix can actually satisfy these functions. The enhancement brought by Nth metal is not even a bonus, not enough to make Yang Le tempted.
The only reason Yang Le was eyeing Nth metal was that the purest Nth metal has the ability to make the wearer immortal.
Yang Le had actually been thinking about how to improve his various abilities, but because of the Omnitrix, any method involving gene modification would not work. Because healthy genes are the most basic principle of the Omnitrix. If Yang Le modified his own genes, the Omnitrix would refresh it after transformation.
Therefore, strengthening that doesn't target his own genes is what Yang Le should be thinking about, and Nth metal is currently Yang Le's best choice. Why do I say that? Because it's easy to obtain.
Hawkman and Hawkwoman's armor and weapons from head to toe are made of Nth metal. Even if Yang Le plucked a bird feather, it would be Nth metal. So Yang Le actually had the idea of putting a sack over Hawkman, beating him up, and then picking up the spoils.
After all, Hawkman's strength is just so-so, better than some but worse than others. Stealing things from him is much simpler than stealing things from Batman.
However, this sudden beastification event helped Yang Le a bit. Such a good opportunity, how could he give it up?
Hawkman and Hawkwoman, as well as Big Barda, had all fainted. Only Wonder Woman might know that he stole the Nth metal. Yang Le had no method for this. After all, who would have thought Wonder Woman would wake up so quickly?
Yang Le could only comfort himself in his heart. Batman has taken so many things and no one has come looking for him. He just took a hammer. It's probably not a big business.
However, unexpectedly, while Yang Le was still being lovey-dovey with the hammer, a guest arrived uninvited.
Hearing a gentle knock on the door, Yang Le, surprised at who would be looking for him so late, looked at the door access control of the Little Broken Car, and just saw Wonder Woman standing outside the door, distraught.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 380 The Queen Who Vanished Without a Trace
Seeing Wonder Woman at the door, the first thought that popped into Yang Le's mind was: "Crap, the jig is up."
But Yang Le immediately thought again and felt something was off. Wonder Woman's appearance didn't look like she was here to interrogate him. Besides, if she really came because of the Nth Metal matter, she should have brought the benefactor along.
Yang Le, unable to figure out what act Wonder Woman was putting on, felt that he should still talk to Wonder Woman face-to-face. He wouldn't be able to guess the reason by just speculating like this. It would be better to be frank with each other. However, basic preparation was still necessary before that.
He pressed the Omnitrix and transformed into an Asgardian form. This was one of the few alien forms Yang Le currently had that could contend with Wonder Woman and didn't look too aggressive. It's just that he hadn't given this form a name yet.
After hiding the Nth Metal War Hammer, Yang Le then opened the door of the Little Broken Car with a normal expression. He saw a dispirited Diana. At this moment, she seemed no longer to be the invincible Valkyrie on the battlefield. Although her heroic spirit hadn't faded, she was much more fragile than before.
Her beauty, blessed by the Goddess of Beauty, allowed the heroic spirit of a woman not inferior to men and the gentleness of warm jade to appear on the same face without any disharmony. Perhaps even the Goddess of Beauty herself would be no more than this.
And at this moment, this goddess with peerless beauty was showing a rare fragile expression. This made Yang Le, who already had a good impression of Wonder Woman and was now in Asgardian form, feel a little overwhelmed.
"Can we talk?" Wonder Woman ignored the dazed Yang Le and walked to the side after speaking.
"Uh, of course," Yang Le regained his senses and followed Wonder Woman in a few steps. At this moment, he understood even less what this person in front of him was up to.
Yang Le left Midway City after collecting Starro spores. After all, researching his things under Hawkman's nose was really disrespectful. Yang Le drove the Little Broken Car out of Midway City for about dozens of kilometers, which was considered giving Hawkman respect, although not much.
The bright moon hung high in the sky. Even without lighting equipment, the moon hanging high in the sky made the surroundings clearly visible. Not to mention that Yang Le and Wonder Woman were not ordinary humans. Even if the light was darker, they could still see clearly.
They walked in silence all the way. Wonder Woman just walked forward quietly. Yang Le, who didn't know the situation, didn't choose to open first either. He just followed silently, taking the opportunity to admire Wonder Woman's slender and rounded long legs and her slender waist.
"Slap!" Just before he was about to be completely mesmerized, Yang Le reached out and slapped himself in the face. Yang Le finally understood. It might be because of the special nature of the God Form, but this form was a little obsessed with powerful women. Wonder Woman in front of him fit the bill perfectly, so he had lost his composure in front of her several times.
"What's wrong?" Wonder Woman heard the sudden sound and turned her head to look at Yang Le in confusion. Yang Le naturally couldn't say that he was mesmerized by her legs. He could only laugh and say, "Mosquitoes."
The lameness of this excuse was not much better than meeting someone with a sliver of health in an FPS game. You should know that Yang Le's skin at this time was so tough that even missiles couldn't penetrate it. If there were any mosquitoes that could pierce his skin, then it would at least be a big event elite monster, like Steppenwolf.
Diana, who possessed wisdom blessed by Athena, naturally wouldn't believe Yang Le's lies. She easily saw through Yang Le's lie and knew the real reason.
However, Diana didn't mind. She parted her red lips slightly and said with a faint smile, "Follow me."
After speaking, she took the lead and jumped onto a red rock that had appeared in front of them at some point. A little embarrassed, Yang Le didn't dare to raise his head at this time. He honestly looked ahead and followed Wonder Woman, jumping onto the red rock as well.
The altitude of the red rock was not low, about four meters or more, but for two superhumans, it was almost like just lifting their feet. By the time Yang Le jumped onto the red rock, Wonder Woman had already walked to the edge of the red rock and was about to sit down.
Yang Le had just taken a step to walk to Wonder Woman's side when she opened.
"My mother is dead." Wonder Woman looked straight ahead. She didn't hide the sadness revealed in her gaze. Gradually, her eyes gradually became moist, just like a lake, but tears never flowed out.
Not to mention the sentimental Wonder Woman, Yang Le was dumbfounded when he heard this news for the first time. What the heck? I'm not playing a game here, am I? I haven't triggered any plot, have I? How could the Queen of the Amazons be dead?
"My condolences," Yang Le thought again and again and could only say this sentence.
"She was a good mother. When I was young, she not only trained me into a warrior with strictness but also nurtured me with love to make me grow up strong." The breeze blew Wonder Woman's black hair. Under the moonlight, she looked like a painting from ancient Greece.
"Can I ask what exactly happened?" Yang Le asked tentatively.
"Of course." Diana's expression was peaceful. If it weren't for her eyes being a little red, no one would be able to tell if she was sad.
"A few hours ago, I received an urgent message from Paradise Island, and then I returned to Paradise Island. When I returned to the island, I found that the palace where my mother lived was in a mess. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was in ruins. Then, my Amazonian sisters and I found a guard who was half-dead in the palace. After we rescued her, we learned from her mouth that my mother had been killed."
Speaking of this, Wonder Woman's hands gradually clenched, as if she wanted to crush her own hands, and said fiercely.
"We asked her if she had seen the appearance of the attacker, but the guard said she hadn't. She only knew that the other party should have used some kind of magic, and their strength was very strong. Amazonians all have considerable magic defense, but even so, she was taken down at the first moment of meeting and almost died."
"Wait a minute," Yang Le interrupted Wonder Woman's narration. "You mentioned earlier that your mother's palace was almost destroyed. Did no one else hear such a big commotion?"
"This is exactly what I'm going to narrate next," Wonder Woman continued. "The guard corps outside the palace didn't notice the attack at all. It wasn't until the guard corps captain discovered that no sound had come out from inside for too long and went in to check that he found that the inside and outside of the palace looked completely different."
'Strength capable of instantly killing the Amazon Queen and her personal guards, and also possessing such profound illusion techniques.' Yang Le crossed his arms and tapped his arm with his finger, thinking.
'This is not strength that any second-rate character can possess.'
"What about your mother's corpse? Maybe we can see some clue from the corpse," Yang Le didn't care whether he would offend Wonder Woman at this time and asked directly.
"No corpse," Wonder Woman suppressed her rage. "The corpse vanished without a trace."
