"Your useless rambling is as plentiful as your useless attacks."
Punch after punch, David had no idea where this guy's mind was going, wondering if he'd gone mad seeking revenge on the Wizard and Black Adam.
Diana was confronting Ares, while he was fighting Sabbac. David seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their visit.
Suppressing Sabbac, David remained calm and composed.
He wasn't in a hurry to fight Ares. As long as he was the one to kill Ares in the end, making Ares resent him with extreme unwillingness and hatred was enough!
"This guy in front of me can also provide me with plenty of emotion points."
"Are you Ares?"
Diverting her gaze from David's effortless and dominant fighting, Diana's eyes sharpened. She frowned, staring intently at Ares.
"Evil God of War, who are you calling sister?"
Since a moment ago, Ares had been looking at her with a look of admiration.
"Of course, it's you, daughter of Hippolyta."
Slowly landing on the ground, Ares chuckled softly.
"Didn't your mother tell you about your origins?"
"She said she molded me from clay and begged Zeus to grant me life."
With his origins recognized at a glance by Ares, Diana's face showed surprise. She quickly swung the Lasso of Truth, ensnaring Ares, and asked.
"Tell me the truth, evil God of War."
Bound by the Lasso of Truth, Ares remained unconcerned.
"My sister, I am speaking the truth."
The power of the Lasso of Truth was irresistible even to gods. Diana's heart trembled, and her expression was one of disbelief.
She recalled that before leaving Themyscira, her mother had very confidently stated that only a god could kill another god, but then, with evasive eyes, she mentioned the Sword of Vulcan as an exception.
"Could it be..."
"That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I am Zeus's daughter or not."
Momentarily disoriented by the sudden influx of information, Diana shook her head, dispelling the confusion, and quickly sorted her thoughts.
Her eyes filled with killing intent as she looked at Ares, gritting her teeth and hissing.
"What matters is that you won't harm anyone else, and you won't incite war or slaughter humans in the human world anymore!"
With another punch that sent Sabbac flying back, even David was somewhat impressed by Diana's clarity and decisiveness.
"Anyone else, upon suddenly learning of their parentage and that the person they're meant to kill is their own half-brother, would probably be shocked and hesitate."
But Diana didn't.
"Of course, blood kinship in Greek mythology is virtually nonexistent, especially in Zeus's lineage."
Diana, who grew up listening to Greek mythology stories, should know this.
Diana attempted to pull Ares, but she was no match in strength for the God of War, who symbolized strength itself. Ares's eyes moved, and a divine force-infused gust of wind freed him from the Lasso of Truth.
"My sister, you still have much to learn!"
Ares's gaze was contemptuous.
"In my eyes, you are like a child who only knows how to play with toys."
As the daughter of Zeus, just one divine position away from true divinity, with the blood of Highfather flowing within her, yet she had no idea how to wield divine power, and it seemed she hadn't even discovered the power within her.
However, this suited him perfectly.
"Evil Ares, die!"
Undeterred by Ares's taunts, Diana grunted. Her aura was astonishing, as if a female war goddess cracking the earth, she leaped forward, wielding the Sword of Vulcan and furiously thrusting it at Ares.
The daughter of Highfather launched a world-shattering attack at the eldest son of Highfather.
Time seemed to slow down.
Sabbac, who had just managed to stand up from his previous defeat, felt his heart tighten. He had experienced the formidable power of that divine sword and wondered how the God of War, renowned for thousands of years in the human world, would respond. Would he dodge?
"My sister, you're here to kill me for those mortals?"
Without haste or panic, he extended his hand. The incredibly sharp Sword of Vulcan struck Ares's palm, as if being annihilated by immense power. The next moment, the blade dissipated like ash in the wind.
Only a hilt remained, impaled in his palm. Ares's expression was undisturbed, exuding an aura of absolute control. He shook his head in disappointment, his tone filled with disappointment.
"I thought you would at least be following our father's orders."
"Gods are the rulers above all things, not servants of humans. You disappoint me, sister."
"God Slayer?"
Looking at the bare hilt in his hand, Diana retreated, disbelief evident in her eyes.
The God Slayer sword, which her mother had given her and claimed was forged by the Fire God, had actually been destroyed.
Sabbac's face showed surprise, his mind greatly shaken.
So the son of the ancient Highfather is this powerful. I'm glad I didn't try to resist this ancient God of War after gaining my powers back then.
"A divine sword that could cut through my body as easily as slicing paper, and it was casually destroyed."
Among the four present, besides Ares, only David showed no shock. Instead, a strange look flickered in his eyes.
"That wasn't the God Slayer, my sister."
Casually blowing dust off his hand, Ares shook his head gently, looking down at a foolish lost lamb like a noble deity.
"You are the ultimate weapon my father left behind to deal with me."
That's right. If mother lied to me about my origins, then this so-called God Slayer would naturally be fake too.
Seeing the Sword of Vulcan destroyed, and deeply shaken, Diana's resolve hardened. She glanced at David, about to discard the sword in her hand, intending to fight the God of War with her own strength.
Although she was supposed to assist this man in his great endeavor to slay gods this time, this man didn't know he was being deceived.
Only a god could kill another god.
She could only rely on herself.
"You are truly naive, Diana.
Do you know how many victories in war are built on lies and deception?"
Seeing her about to throw away the 'sword hilt', David slowly spoke to remind her.
Diana's action of throwing away the sword hilt paused.
"The reputation of Ares, the God of War, has spread far and wide on this planet. People say you are a symbol of power, that you are supremely arrogant, bloodthirsty, ferocious, and cruel."
He looked at Ares, his eyes devoid of the reverence a mortal would show a god. He treated Ares like an ordinary person, even with a hint of mockery.
"But I think we should add something else – cunning and despicable."
RUMBLE!
"Mortal, do you know who you are speaking to?"
Ares's face darkened. His sharp and majestic gaze fell upon David, the palpable pressure almost suffocating. His voice boomed like thunder.
It was as if the heavens themselves felt the ancient God of War's displeasure. In an instant, the sky's winds and clouds changed dramatically, dark clouds gathered and hung low, creating a sense of oppression. Lightning snakes writhed restlessly within the clouds.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
Countless steel fragments on the ground floated up, surging towards David like a typhoon or a torrential downpour.
It was as if heaven was unleashing its wrath to punish an impudent mortal, intending to turn him into a pulp of flesh with a storm of steel.
BANG BANG!
But after the storm.
The wall behind him, strong enough to withstand anti-tank sniper rifle rounds, was riddled with holes. David still stood there intact, as if he had seriously considered the question and provided an answer.
"A liar?"
Just now, from his perspective, Diana's thrust had completely missed; Ares had dodged it.
Then, as if seeing something shocking, she looked at the intact divine sword in her hand with suspicion and was about to discard it.
Sabbac on the other side also looked utterly terrified.
As if not noticing the gloomy, murderous gaze of the Highfather's eldest son, David continued calmly.
"A liar who used divine power to blind and distort others' senses, disguising himself as invincibly powerful, trying to make them give up the only weapon that could threaten him?"
