Chapter 406 Diana in the Dungeon
In the blink of an eye, Yang Le had already floated to the Palace. When he came before, this place was only Ruins. Now, not only were the Debris cleared away, but even a magnificent Palace had been built.
Yang Le stealthily poked his Head into the Palace. As soon as he looked up, he saw two graceful Figures lounging lazily on their respective Rattan Chairs. One of them he didn't recognize, the other was a familiar face to Yang Le - Witch Circe.
Between the two Rattan Chairs was a Table woven from the same Material, on which were placed various kinds of Fruit and Delicacies, and a golden Flask.
Witch Circe gently raised a Finger, and the Flask slowly floated up, poured a glass of Wine for each of them, and then slowly returned to its original Position.
"Thank you very much for your help, Your Highness Nephthys," Witch Circe first handed the Wine Glass to the woman opposite her, and then picked up her own glass of Wine.
Nephthys took a shallow sip of Liquor, scarlet Liquor clung to her Lips, making her Face even more alluring. After putting down the Wine Glass, Nephthys opened her mouth to speak.
"Not entirely to help you, this is also to help ourselves. Also thanks to the Opportunity you provided, we can step out of a corner and take over here openly and legitimately."
"I can see that you have been dissatisfied with your previous situation for a long time." Witch Circe picked up a Grape and put it into her mouth.
"Dissatisfied is an understatement." Nephthys placed the Wine Glass in her Hand on the Table. "I have long had the Idea of overthrowing them, but because of that Child favored by the Gods, I had to suppress this Idea in my Heart."
"The Child favored by the Gods?" Witch Circe chuckled. "Now she is just a prisoner. As a Loser, she has been deprived of everything."
Before Witch Circe finished speaking, Footsteps came from outside the Door. Troy, fully Armament, walked in from outside.
"Troy, my pride, come here quickly." Witch Circe stood up, opening her arms like a mother welcoming her Child.
Troy did not refuse, quickly walking a few steps to meet Witch Circe's embrace. The two hugged for a moment before letting go of each other.
"How is it?" Witch Circe tidied Troy's Hair, and asked gently, "Did you deal with our prisoner, Miss?"
"It's done, I locked her in the Amazon Dungeon." Troy answered honestly, but then she asked with doubt.
"Why don't we just get rid of her? To avoid future troubles."
"My silly Child." Witch Circe chuckled and lightly tapped Troy's Forehead. "We haven't yet subdued those Amazons outside. If we rashly execute their Princess, it will surely arouse their Anger. Once they launch a resistance, we will have to suppress it, but wouldn't it be a greater loss than gain if we eliminate them?"
In fact, this is just the simplest Reason. The deeper Reason why Witch Circe didn't kill Diana is because Diana is a Child watched by the Gods. Although these Gods won't just run out to interfere, even Witch Circe is not sure if Gods will really take action if Diana is killed.
After all, the favorite thing of the Olympus Gods is to play tricks behind the scenes, which is a tradition passed down from ancient Greece.
So Witch Circe really dare not attack Diana for the time being. She decided to keep Diana alive to test the Bottom Line of the Gods, but although she can't take her Life, the humiliation must not be less. The first step is to throw Diana into the Dungeon.
"Don't be ashamed, my Child." Witch Circe comforted the ashamed Troy. "As a newly enthroned Queen, you still have many things to learn. You also have to unite the two tribes into one and become the Queen of all Amazons."
"Unite the two tribes?"
As soon as Witch Circe finished speaking, Nephthys behind her couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up from the Rattan Chair and questioned Witch Circe.
"Circe! What Nonsense are you talking about! This is not in our..."
Nephthys felt a throbbing pain in her Belly, and then something surged from her Throat. Nephthys clutched her Belly, bent down and vomited a large mouthful of Fresh Blood with a "wah" sound.
"This is?" Troy looked at everything that happened in front of her in Shock. She just wanted to check Nephthys's condition but was stopped by Witch Circe.
"Relax, Troy." Witch Circe hugged Troy with a smile. "I'm just helping you remove the Stumbling Block before you ascend the Throne. I know you are a Warrior, so let mother handle this kind of hand-dirtying Business."
"Circe..." Nephthys fell in a Pool of blood, looking at the Witch with a ferocious Face. The pain of her intestines being torn apart further stimulated her Resentment.
"I... Curse you! Curse... you..."
After struggling a few times, Nephthys finally lost her breath. This proud Queen finally fell in the Blood and died in a miserable state.
Witch Circe didn't care about Nephthys's Curse, just clapped her Palms a few times, and the Corpse and Blood disappeared without a trace. Witch Circe turned around and surprisingly turned into the appearance of Nephthys who had just died.
"How is it, my baby." Witch Circe, who had become Nephthys, showed off her Body. "Does it look exactly the same?"
Troy then came back to her senses, and answered woodenly, "Ah, yes, mother."
Seeing Troy's absent-mindedness, Witch Circe just smiled, then hugged Troy again and comforted her, saying things like I'm doing this for your own good, it's an indispensable part for you to become the Amazon Queen, only in this way can we live a good Life, and so on.
Yang Le, who had been peeping at the whole Scene, was speechless for a while. Isn't this the Legendary PUA? Troy, who is not deeply involved in the world, is indeed easily manipulated.
After appreciating a classic European and American-style power struggle Act, Yang Le left with Diana's Position obtained from a few Words. As the saying goes, the internal friction of the Amazons has nothing to do with him. He just came to get Diana's Position, and now that he knows it, he can leave.
According to Troy, Diana is now being held in the Dungeon. Although Yang Le doesn't know where the Dungeon is, Dungeon must be Underground. As long as he drills into the Underground, he will always be able to find it.
After spending a lot of effort, Yang Le finally found a Stairs Underground. Following the Stairs down, he really found a Dungeon. Still passing through the guards as if no one was there, Yang Le really found Diana in the depths of the Dungeon.
At this time, Wonder Woman no longer had her former majesty. The Armor and Weapon on her Body had been removed, and only a piece of Linen Clothes was worn on her Body. Her Hands and Limbs were locked by Shackles. The Shackles were connected to Iron Chains. Because of the Iron Chains, Diana could only choose to kneel on the Ground or sit on the Ground, and even lying down was impossible.
Seeing this Scene, Yang Le felt a palpitation for no Reason and immediately showed his Figure. Although her Body was locked, Diana's perception was still sharp. She immediately noticed that there was one more Human in the Prison.
Struggling to raise her Head, she saw Yang Le who had turned into **Ghostfreak**. When she saw the Omnitrix Symbol on **Ghostfreak's** chest, she immediately knew that Yang Le had come.
"To be honest, I least want you to see me like this now." Diana smiled bitterly.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 407 Loss of Fighting Spirit
"If I didn't come, who else could take you away?" Yang Le transformed into Four Arms, placed his arms on the Iron Chain, and pulled hard. He was surprised to find that he couldn't even budge the Iron Chain.
"Don't underestimate these Iron Chains. They were forged by Hephaestus, the God of Fire. Even Heracles, the mighty God, couldn't break free," Diana sighed. "You should leave quickly before they find you."
Looking at the dispirited Diana, Yang Le remained silent. This time, he used the Fusion Hero Fourmungousaur, and even with full power, he could only make the Iron Chains creak, but it was still ineffective.
Yang Le transformed into Atomix again. Under the assault of the nuclear power, the Iron Chains remained undamaged. It seemed that a direct frontal attack to break these Iron Chains would indeed require some mental effort.
"I told you it was useless," Diana acted like a disheartened sister, sighing beside him.
"This isn't like the Diana I know." A White Light flashed, and Yang Le transformed into a completely new Fusion Hero this time. It looked like a purple humanoid frog.
"Magic Knight." Yang Le gave a self-introduction that he hadn't done in a long time. This Fusion Hero was formed by fusing Spidermonkey and an Anodite. Spidermonkey's agility combined with the Anodite's strange abilities; the purpose was to deal with those magic-type enemies with all sorts of weird abilities.
Yang Le stretched out his frog palm and started fiddling with the Iron Chain, while also saying, "What exactly happened? You don't look like Wonder Woman at all right now."
"I'm no longer Wonder Woman," Diana sighed. "I lost to Troy in battle. Not only that, but I also lost my Tribe. I can't even avenge my mother. I've lost my qualification as a warrior. Perhaps dying in the Dungeon is the best outcome for me."
"Your Amazonian sisters in your tribe are suffering outside," Yang Le stuck out his tongue and licked the Iron Chain. "Don't you want to lead them in resistance?"
"Wonder Woman might be able to, but I'm not her anymore," Diana said dispiritedly.
Yang Le stopped talking. He sensed that something was wrong with Diana and thought about how to cheer her up. His movements became faster, and after a few seconds, with a crack, the Iron Chain actually broke.
"How did you do that?" Diana's tone changed for the first time, clearly surprised that Yang Le could break the Iron Chain.
"It's simple," Yang Le pointed to his Head. "As long as you understand Hephaestus's Technology, this Iron Chain can be easily solved. I'll record these things later. The God of Fire's Forging Technique is a good thing."
With the first experience, the remaining Iron Chains were easy to solve. Yang Le followed the same Method and unlocked all the Iron Chains in just a few minutes. He didn't waste the broken Iron Chains either, picking them all up to take away. These were all good things, and maybe they could spark different fire with the N Metal he had picked up before.
Yang Le looked at Diana again. Although Yang Le had broken all the Iron Chains and Shackles, the latter was still sitting on the Ground, showing no intention of leaving with him.
"What exactly happened, Diana?" Yang Le walked up to Diana. Because Magic Knight inherited Spidermonkey's excellent gene, Yang Le standing was still shorter than Diana sitting. Diana didn't even need to look up to meet Yang Le's Eyes.
Under Yang Le's repeated questioning, Diana finally told him what had happened in the past few days.
First was the battle for the Wonder Woman title. Losing the help of Divine Weapon, the two who were both Demigods were on the same starting line. The only factor that could determine the winner was combat experience and technique.
Initially, Diana relied on her rich combat experience and indeed had the upper hand. But for some reason, Troy became more and more fierce as she fought, from initially only being able to passively defend to later being able to fight back, gradually becoming evenly matched with Diana.
The more Troy fought, the stronger she became, while Diana became hesitant. Initially, she had planned to quickly defeat Troy, but she didn't expect to fail. Because she was afraid of hurting her mother's body, Diana instead became defensive, and the offensive and defensive relationship between the two completely reversed.
Simply defending would certainly not lead to victory. After a day and night of offensive and defensive battle, Diana finally lost to Troy. The subsequent events were simple. Diana, no longer Wonder Woman, lost some Divine Weapon, and those Divine Weapon were handed over to the new Wonder Woman, Troy.
And although the weapons bestowed upon Diana by the Gods would not be handed over, Circe certainly wouldn't return them to Diana. Originally, the Divine Weapon were jointly guarded by both sides, but the Lost Amazonians suddenly launched an Ambush, captured the Amazons, and seized all the Divine Weapon for themselves.
The Amazons certainly wouldn't sit idly by and prepared to have a big battle with this group of treacherous people, but they were ambushed and surrounded by the Lost Amazonians.
With the help of Circe's Magic, even with Diana leading them, the Amazons were still turtles in a jar. After all, the other side also had a Troy who was no weaker than Diana.
The final outcome was that the entire Amazon Tribe became prisoners. The others were taken to be used as coolies, while Diana herself was imprisoned in the Dungeon.
"I will never forget the disappointed expressions on the faces of my Amazonian sisters when they looked at me," Diana covered her Face with her Hair.
"Two failures not only ruined myself but also ruined my Compatriot. Circe said that if I rebel again, she will kill my Compatriot."
Yang Le understood. No wonder Diana had become hesitant. Witch Circe had indeed made a good move, first using two failures to undermine Diana's Confidence, and finally using the threat of her Tribe's Life to make her afraid to act rashly. Don't underestimate these bystander-clear routines. Even if you explain it to the person involved in detail, she may not necessarily be able to get out of it.
Diana was like this now. She had doubts about her own Ability. She was afraid that she would not be able to lead her Kin to victory, and the Price of failure was the death of her Compatriot. This was obviously unacceptable to Diana.
This was indeed a bit Trouble, because even if Yang Le helped Diana solve all the problem, her lost Confidence could not be regained. This matter could only be resolved by her own efforts, which meant she needed something to force her to take a step she dared not take.
After a brief thought, Yang Le quickly reached a conclusion through Magic Knight's intelligent Brain: that he didn't need to take action himself, Circe would come out and cause Trouble herself.
But even if the Brain said so, Yang Le still had to find a Method to take Diana away first, after all, he couldn't let her stay in the Dungeon all the time.
"Come with me, Diana," Yang Le extended his Right Hand to Diana. "You can never turn things around by staying here. Why not leave with me and then think of a Method."
"I can't abandon my Sisters," Diana shook her Head.
"You can't help them by staying here now," Yang Le said. "No matter what purpose Circe has, she will definitely not kill the Amazons casually. Otherwise, she wouldn't bother to help Troy seize the Queen's position with so much mental effort. You are here only to let her make fun of you and humiliate you, and have no other purpose."
Diana hesitated for a while after listening, and finally grasped the Hand Yang Le extended. Yang Le used his free Hand to casually open a Portal, pulling Diana away from the Dungeon.
A few hours later, Circe slowly walked to the Dungeon, preparing for post-meal activities, only to see an empty Dungeon. But in the next second, her own angry roar filled the entire Dungeon.
Universe: The following plot will jump forward in Time, meaning the next Plot will be a few years later. This is a small summary now, so tomorrow's update will go back to writing the Mutant Plot of Marvel. I've had it in my Brain for a long Time. If I hadn't watched X-Men recently, I would have forgotten. Recently, I watched the interpretation of the X-Men Animation, and it shocked me. The BOSS I racked my Brains to come up with actually had Foreshadowing in the Animation. It's not easy being a Fanfic Author. Will Unpopular BOSS also clash with the Official?
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 408: Mutation
"She's been like this for days."
Superman looked at Diana through the surveillance with a worried expression. She was curled up on the largest bed in the RV/Motorhome, her face buried in her knees, making it impossible to see her expression.
"I really understand how Diana feels. Fighting your own family must be incredibly difficult."
Superman still felt lingering unease about it. He remembered his first encounter with Zod and the hardship he endured due to their shared heritage. How much more painful must it be for Diana, battling her own blood relatives?
Batman remained cold and impassive, offering no comment. Parents were his weakness. Scarecrow, his nemesis, frequently used Fear Toxin to force him back to that unbearable alley. Joker often joked about his parents, and even after countless beatings, the guy never changed.
Speaking of which, Joker had sent him an expired Parents Redemption Coupon just days ago. It seemed it had been too long since he'd taught him a lesson; his skin was itching for it again.
"Don't worry about Diana," Batman said, pulling himself back to the present. "She'll recover. She just needs a catalyst. Instead of focusing on her, we should be thinking about the Amazonians controlled by Circe."
"You're right," Superman nodded in agreement. "Liberating Themyscira is the key. That will bring Diana back."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, Superman," Yang Le said, shaking his head. "Themyscira, though small, is a nation. The Justice League can't easily interfere in what is essentially a coup d'état. Diana, as Princess of Themyscira, might disregard that, but our intervention changes the nature of things."
"Yang Le is correct," Batman agreed. "The Justice League, ultimately, lacks law enforcement function. Public acceptance hinges on our handling of super villains that ordinary people can't manage. What's happening on Themyscira is outside the scope of superhero intervention."
"Foreign invasion, terrorist attack, monster crisis – these are all within our purview. But Circe used an Amazonian with 'legitimate' authority, achieving her purpose through methods that align with Amazonian rules. We can't interfere."
"So, what should we do?" Superman completely abandoned his super-brain, resorting to his external brain for solutions.
"Wait," Batman stated after a moment's thought, surprising Superman.
"What?"
"Wait," Batman repeated. "I don't believe Circe is content with just Themyscira. Having control over the race with the most formidable individual combat ability in the world, her next move is practically screaming at us. Not to mention Yang Le mentioned Klarion the Witch Boy is involved. Chaos is his favorite pastime."
"You mean war?" Superman immediately grasped Batman's meaning. "But if that's the case, shouldn't we be doing something preemptively?"
"Batman is saying we need to wait for a legitimate reason to act," Yang Le explained with a smile. "Circe may control Themyscira, but she despises it. We all know she loathes everything about Themyscira. She'd rather see it destroyed than rule it."
Batman glanced at Yang Le before continuing, "Exactly. If I'm right, Circe will soon find a pretext to declare war somewhere. It could be against humans, or the sea race, though targeting humans seems most likely."
"Because humans possess nuclear bombs. If Themyscira becomes a threat to human society, I doubt humans would hesitate to drop a few nuclear bombs on that small island far from human civilization. And I'm sure Circe would gladly provide Themyscira's coordinates."
"Humans with such power are also incredibly ignorant. They won't bother to understand what's happening on Themyscira. And if we're wrong, humans destroying Themyscira will incur the wrath of the Olympus Gods. Who knows what might follow."
Superman felt a chill crawl up his spine. If Batman was right, the world would descend into utter chaos. Even he wasn't certain of victory against the well-known Old Gods.
"As for Diana," Batman looked at the surveillance again, a hint of melancholy in his voice as he saw his comrade's despair.
"Let her listen to the news. This world is in turmoil. Maybe hearing something will reignite her desire to fight for justice."
And so, Yang Le's conversation with the world's finest duo concluded. Yang Le's initial goal was simply to see if they could offer a solution for Diana's distress. He hadn't anticipated such a lengthy and far-reaching discussion.
Yang Le heeded Batman's opinion. After all, Batman wasn't just a psychology expert; he had worked alongside Diana for years. His understanding of her was undoubtedly deeper than Yang Le's, who had only known her for a few days and otherwise only through comics.
Just as Batman predicted, Diana's emotion noticeably improved after Yang Le turned on the television in the RV/Motorhome to news. Yang Le could even see her leaning in, listening intently.
This recovery would be a long process, but it afforded Yang Le some personal time. He could finally delve into the Ultimate Evolution Device sent by his other self, along with the N Metal and Chains Forged by Vulcan he had acquired.
Yang Le found himself engrossed. Grey Matter's wisdom allowed him to constantly uncover new facets, bringing him a profound sense of achievement and fueling his continued research. Within days, he was even able to begin modifying the metal.
Just as Yang Le anticipated a prolonged period of research, a news bulletin shattered the status quo.
"Breaking News, Breaking News," a formally dressed announcer abruptly appeared on the TV screen, interrupting a peanut butter ad that was only halfway through.
"We have just received news that an Amazonian from the mysterious Themyscira has been discovered at a Gene Research Institute."
Hearing news about Amazon, Diana immediately perked up her ear, her gaze fixed on the television as she absorbed the unfolding events.
"Tragically, this Amazonian endured inhumane torture. By the time the Justice League rescued her, she was already on the brink of death. She is currently undergoing rescue…"
At this point, the television displayed several photos. Most of the images were obscured by mosaic, concealing a mutilated figure, but a smaller portion showed the super heroes involved in the rescue, all familiar faces to Diana.
"What?" The announcer covered his left ear with his earphone, listening intently before continuing with a grave expression.
"We have just received another breaking news update. The leader of the Amazon race has contacted Mr. President. She is reportedly furious about her tribesmen's ordeal. She has threatened Mr. President, demanding that we hand over the murderer, or face military force, even war!"
Chapter 409 Kiss
Hearing this, Diana stood up with a whoosh. The huge shock of the news made her forget that she was sitting on the bed. Standing up, her height of one meter and eighty-three centimeters was destined to hit the car roof.
Fortunately, the Little Broken Car reacted quickly and grew taller, otherwise, it might have been poked a big hole by this reckless Demigod.
"This must be Circe's conspiracy." Diana regained her vitality. Yang Le even wondered if he had seen wrongly the self-pitying woman from the second before.
"Pa da."
Diana jumped barefoot from the bed, landing on the wooden floor with a crisp sound. She was still wearing the prison uniform from a few months ago. Because of her Demigod physique, Diana would be fine even without food or drink, so she had been lying on the bed for months without moving.
Regarding this, Yang Le even wrote an observation Report on "Will Demigods Get Hemorrhoids" in his spare time, but because Diana did not need to eat and therefore did not excrete, this Report had made no Progress.
"I must return to Paradise Island immediately, I must stop this conspiracy." Diana said, trying to open the door and go out. However, when Diana opened the door, she saw Yang Le standing in front of her.
"You're going to save Paradise Island in a prison uniform?" Yang Le sized Diana up and down. "You're no different from courting death like this."
"I have to do this, Yang Le." Diana looked determined. "I can't just watch Paradise Island and Humans go to war. Many superhumans will inevitably join in then. I can't just watch my Amazonian Sisters die."
"I'm sorry, no one can stop me in this matter, not even… you."
"I'm not trying to stop you." Yang Le looked at Diana, who was resolute but also slightly wavering, and couldn't help but find it funny. "I very much support your action to save everyone. This is a noble behavior, and it is also the main factor that allows you to become Wonder Woman."
Diana asked, "Then… what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you need handy weapons and fitting armor." Yang Le stepped aside, and Diana saw the scene behind him. There was a stove of unknown origin built there, with a faint red light flashing inside, looking like the flame had just gone out.
Some forging tools were also placed around the stove. Further to the side was an armor stand, on which was placed a piece of armor composed of gold, red, and blue, the same color scheme as her usual battle suit, but the exposed area was much smaller than before.
"I forged this battle suit from the shackles and iron chain in the dungeon." Yang Le began to introduce. "These metal are really amazing. As long as you use some means, you can change its texture."
Diana walked quickly to the battle suit and reached out to stroke this exquisite armor, discovering that it was as soft and smooth as silk, but even if she tore at it with force, she couldn't destroy it.
"Remember, even a Demigod can't destroy it?" Yang Le said with a smile. "I also added some other gadgets on it. Now, even a missile hitting you is like tickling. If you want to feel pain, it has to be an attack of Superman's level at least."
Diana loved it and took the battle suit off the armor stand, looking like she couldn't wait to put it on. Yang Le stopped her again.
"Don't rush, with armor, of course, there must also be weapons. Those thick iron chains can do more than just make these things." As he spoke, Yang Le flipped his wrist and took out a sword and a shield from nowhere.
The style of the sword was not much different from what she had used before, but the shield was a bit different. Her previous shield usually had her own symbol engraved on the front, but now this shield was engraved with a symbol that looked like an hourglass. This symbol was the Omnitrix symbol, a little bit of selfishness from Yang Le.
Faced with Yang Le, who was like Doraemon and pulled out so many items, Diana really didn't know what to say. Before she could think of any words of gratitude, Yang Le pushed her towards the Little Broken Car, urging her to change her equipment.
A few minutes later, Diana, who had changed her equipment, walked out of the Little Broken Car again. Yang Le couldn't help but nod. The majestic Valkyrie was back again.
"Go ahead, your compatriots are still waiting for you."
Diana glanced at Yang Le with a complicated expression, then strode towards Yang Le. Just as Yang Le was wondering what she was going to do, Diana was already close to him.
The speed of a Demigod was indeed amazing. Before Yang Le could react, Diana's hand had already held Yang Le's big face, and then she kissed Yang Le's mouth.
"Huh?" Yang Le's eyes widened. All of this was far beyond his expectations. By the time he recovered, Diana had already separated from him.
"The rest is for when I come back." Diana affectionately stroked Yang Le's face, and then flew away without looking back, very much like an ancient general going on an expedition, while Yang Le was like a spoiled wife waiting for her husband to return.
This kiss came too suddenly and too briefly. Yang Le felt like Zhu Bajie eating Ginseng Fruit, he didn't taste anything. By the time he wanted to savor it, he didn't know how to savor it.
"It's okay, there's still the rest." Yang Le cheered up and smacked his lips. It seemed that even if a Demigod didn't brush her teeth for months, her mouth wouldn't be smelly.
After pondering for a while, Yang Le looked at the Omnitrix on his left hand again. At this time, the Little Broken Watch's appearance could be said to have changed greatly. If it was originally a digital watch full of technological breath, then now it was a mechanical arm watch full of metal texture.
This was because Yang Le had used the high-purity N metal refined in these months on it. You know, Yang Le had not only made equipment for Diana in these months, but also hadn't neglected his own share.
High-purity N metal not only became the protective shell of the Little Broken Watch, but also brought many benefits to Yang Le as the wearer. One of them was almost endless lifespan, along with some additional little things such as physical fitness enhancement and flight.
Yang Le also used magic to connect it to Bloxx's pocket universe, making it into something like a storage ring. Diana's sword and shield before had been stored inside.
Looking at his invention, Yang Le nodded in satisfaction. Yang Le knew that now was not the time to indulge in his own cleverness. Although Diana asked him to wait, it was obvious that he couldn't obediently stand here as a wife-watching stone.
Not to mention Circe, Klarion the Witch Boy, who had always been elusive, was the most important. Yang Le didn't believe that this guy would let others stop the great chaos he had been looking forward to for several months.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 410 Breaking the Peace
Amazon's current Queen Troy issued a warning to America. Leaving aside the attitudes of those at the top, at least the General Public didn't take this matter to heart.
If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Although the Amazonians are all brave and good at fighting, the Justice League is not to be trifled with either. And if worst comes to worst, there's still the Government.
Moreover, in Human society, they have seen too many threatening statements of this nature. This kind of tough stance is usually deliberately put on to gain some Benefit during negotiations. In today's society, although War is not uncommon, it is by no means easy to start.
Burning Money and wasting lives, it's a losing proposition. Don't look at how fiercely they shout, but in reality, when it really comes to taking action, they will generally take a step back.
Adhering to this Idea, basically no one took Troy's Words seriously. The Government also chose to wait and see. If the other side becomes difficult at that Time, they can also say that they have no Means of communication with Paradise Island, thus delaying the best Time for negotiation. After all, the Government doesn't know Magic and has no way to send messages using Magic like Paradise Island.
And so, a few hours passed. The residents of Washington lived as usual. Today was as sunny and beautiful as usual. In a few more hours, it would be Time to get off Work, which made the sleepy people perk up a bit.
Mike was one of these General Public. Although the Work of a Shopping Mall Security guard wasn't heavy, the long hours of standing and walking still made him feel tired. Some Time ago, he went for a check-up because he was afraid of suffering from varicose veins, but fortunately, this Disease had not yet befallen him.
Mike took out a Plastic Bag, inside was a Donut wrapped in oil paper. This was given to him by the beautiful Mexican Woman who ran the pastry Business in the Shopping Mall. Since Mike helped her solve the problem of her half-brother Addict who always asked her for Money to feed his drug addiction, she always prepared some Bread and pastries for him.
Although his colleagues always joked that the other party had taken a liking to him, Mike didn't think so. The other party had her own Life, and he couldn't just get carried away by a little bit of impulse and disturb her. Honestly going Home to play Game was his true calling.
Unpacking the Plastic Bag, Mike walked outside the Shopping Mall. After all, it was still working Time. Even if he had a good relationship with his Leader, he couldn't openly slack off in the Shopping Mall. He planned to quickly finish it as usual, and then return to his Work Position.
Taking the Donut out of the Plastic Bag, Mike then noticed that there seemed to be something written on the outside of the oil paper used to wrap the Donut. Could it be that the pastry shop changed its packaging?
Mike stretched his Head to bite into the Donut, while both Eyes were focused on seeing what was written on it. But before he could see the Words on the oil paper clearly, he felt his Head becoming heavier and heavier, out of his Control. He couldn't even bite the Donut in his Hand.
"Thump! Gurgle gurgle gurgle."
The round thing fell from his Shoulder, rolled far away due to Inertia. The sturdy Body wearing a Security guard uniform crashed down. The Air seemed to freeze at this moment. After about two or three seconds, a deafening Scream rang out.
"I love this Tune to Death." The Woman wearing Armor licked the Blood dripping from her Sword, morbidly admiring the Crowd panicking because of her Masterpiece.
"Behave yourself, Deimos, you pervert!"
Behind the Woman, several Women with similar attire to her appeared one after another. They all came out of a purple Portal. One of the Women, who was obviously of higher status, looked at Deimos in front of her with disgust.
"But, isn't our Mission to cause panic, Captain?" Deimos flicked her Sword, the Fresh Blood on it shot out like a Sharp Arrow, dyeing the oil paper that fell from Mike's Hand completely red. The Words on it were completely illegible.
"We don't kill Civilians!" the Captain said sternly.
"But I remember that the Clothes this man was wearing should be Police Officer clothes, right? I remember that Police Officers should be Warriors among Humans." Deimos blinked her Eyes. "So I shouldn't have made a mistake, right?"
"I know, that's why I just reprimanded you. Otherwise, what awaits you can only be the Sword in my Hand."
After saying this, the Captain no longer looked at Deimos, but instead said to the other subordinates: "Our Mission is only to attract attention, the more Super Heroes we can attract, the better. Don't do extra things like Deimos. Our enemies can only be those Warriors."
"Those Words really hurt my Heart." Deimos brandished the Sword in her Hand. "Seriously, Captain, if I didn't do this, do you think we could attract those Justice League people so quickly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Deimos immediately waved the Sword in her Hand. Along with a few short sounds of metal clashing, several black Bat-shaped Darts were cut down to the Ground by her. Several Amazonians immediately looked in the opposite Direction from which the Darts flew, but did not see any Human.
Time flowed. It was already dusk at this Time. While the Amazonians were talking, the panicked Crowd had already dispersed almost completely. In their Line of Sight, they could not see anything else except for some nonsensical things invented by Humans.
"Whoosh!"
A rapid Sound of Air Being Torn came. An Amazonian on the periphery of the Team hadn't even had Time to react when a Rope had already wrapped around her neck. Along with a slight click sound, the Rope locked onto her neck.
The Amazonian gritted her Teeth and tensed her Muscles, reaching her Hands towards her neck, wanting to tear off this Human trick. Unfortunately, the Rope was tightened too tightly, she couldn't even insert her little finger. She couldn't even grip it, let alone tear the Rope off.
"Ugh!"
A Power came from the Rope. As an ordinary Amazonian, she still needed to breathe. The lack of oxygen brought not only physical pain, but also psychological Fear. By the Time she reacted, she had already been dragged away.
"Lady!" Another Amazonian noticed her teammate's abnormality. But after seeing clearly the Position where her Partner was locked, she immediately stopped her Hand from wanting to pull her, which prevented the scene of her teammate's Body and Head separating from appearing.
"Tsk!"
A Figure quickly flashed past. The Captain of the Amazon Squad drew her Sword and quickly overtook the bound Lady. With a Sword strike, the Rope broke in response, flying around wildly like a severed snake. Lady immediately fell to the Ground.
The Captain aimed at Lady's neck and pierced it with a Sword. The buckle locking the Rope instantly split in two. The latter then regained new Life, panting heavily. The others couldn't care about their fallen teammate, and looked again in the Direction of the Rope. As expected, they could only find a grappling gun attached to a Car.
"I know who you are!" the Captain shouted at the quiet surroundings.
"If you have the guts, come out and face me! Batman!"
