429, Diana's Confusion [3/3]
Looking at Diana's sunny smiling face, Ouyang Jing really didn't know what to say.
Ares really wants to destroy humanity, but the war of humanity has nothing to do with the survival of Ares.
Diana's too naΓ―ve dream will eventually be shattered by the cruel reality.
"Forget it, let's make her happy for a few days."
He sighed in his heart, but he smiled brightly at Diana on his face, and gave her a thumbs up: "Well done!" β
"Hey...... "Diana smiled proudly.
But in the midst of pride, there is a little shyness: "Thanks to you for teaching me." If it weren't for your teaching, with my previous skills, I am afraid that I would not be the opponent of Ares, and I might have been beaten badly by him......"
"Even if I hadn't taught you, Ares wouldn't be your opponent. The authority of lightning was never in him. β
Ouyang Jing smiled, stepped into the void, came to Diana, and took her slender hand: "Let's go, the battle just now was too loud, and it has already alarmed the British." The British warships are coming, and if they don't leave, they will be seen. β
"Hmm." Diana nodded, and disappeared into the night sky with Ouyang Jing.
Between leaving, Ouyang Jing glanced back at the location where Ares had turned into mud and sand and fell into the river, and thought in his heart: "Dirt?" β
β¦β¦
After the elimination of Ares, Diana's good mood lasted only a few days.
Because Ouyang Jing brought her to the European battlefield.
The war in Europe was not over, and although the German army could no longer hold on, the Kaiser still did not make up his mind to surrender.
On the battlefield where the two sides confronted each other, large-scale battles did end, but small-scale battles happened every day.
Eastern Front.
In a small village that has just finished a battle.
Looking at the blood stains and corpses everywhere, Diana was expressionless and her eyes were blank: "Why?" Ares is dead, why is the war going on? β
Ouyang Jing didn't answer and took her away from the battlefield.
In the following month, Ouyang Jing first took her south to Africa, and then turned eastward, passing through the South Asian subcontinent to the Far East.
Along the way, even though she was only a spectator, Diana still saw the brutal atrocities of European colonizers in Africa, South Asia, and the Far East.
Most importantly, the flames of war are everywhere.
In the end, Ouyang Jing took the exhausted Diana back to the Aegean Sea.
In the evening, the remnant sun is like blood.
Diana sat on the beach, her long legs bent, her hands clasped on her knees, her eyes looked at the sea in front of her in confusion, and muttered:
"Why? Why is Ares dead, Germany has surrendered, and the war still hasn't stopped? Why...... The world hasn't gotten any better? Why do European countries continue their atrocities all over the world? This is true even for small countries that have been devastated in the war...... Didn't they learn even the slightest lesson from the war? β
Ouyang Jing stretched out his arms, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and took her into his arms.
"Diana."
He stroked her hair and said lightly: "Although Ares is cruel and ruthless, trying to exterminate the human race, he has some words and is not wrong. We humans are a very complex race. Although he has beautiful qualities such as bravery, kindness, and sincerity, he is a pure good person...... Only a tiny minority.
"Of course, there are only a very small number of pure bad guys. The vast majority of human beings are ordinary ordinary people. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are evil. Sometimes brave, sometimes cowardly. Sometimes sincere, sometimes hypocritical......
"Human beings are so fickle. And such fickle human beings are naturally susceptible to external influences, showing different tendencies and making unchanging choices at different times and environments.
"Under the leadership of the wicked, ordinary people will be inclined to evil. Under the leadership of the good, ordinary human beings will also tend to be kind...... But even ordinary people of good nature, driven by interests and desires, sometimes turn into demons.
"Diana, you don't have to be so disappointed. You've done enough. War is not under the control of the gods, and world peace is not achieved overnight. To create the happiness of mankind...... Only human beings can rely on themselves. β
Diana snuggled up in Ouyang Jing's arms and was silent for a while before she muttered, "Yes, it's me who is too naΓ―ve." I thought that the myths were true, that humans were perfect creatures created by Zeus and the gods, that Ares caused the fall of mankind, that by getting rid of Ares, humanity would be restored to their perfect nature......"
She shook her head self-deprecatingly: "Unfortunately, it's all just wishful thinking on my part. β
She sighed deeply, arched into Ouyang Jing's arms, closed her eyes, and murmured: "Ouyang, I don't want to care about human affairs anymore, I want to go back to Paradise Island, unless there is a demon or evil god who wants to destroy the world, I will never come out again......"
"Okay."
Ouyang Jing smiled slightly, and stood up with Diana in the posture of a princess: "We'll go back to Paradise Island now." β
Rumble!
The fireworks exploded under his feet, and they flew into the air like rockets, heading towards Paradise Island.
After being promoted to the sixth star, Ouyang Jing's five elements changed and he was more in control. Now that he wants to fly at high speed, he doesn't need a full-body fire change. The fire spewing from the soles of his feet alone was enough for him to fly at subsonic speeds.
If his whole body fire changes, he can break through the sound barrier and cruise at supersonic speed for a long time.
Paradise Island is not far from the beach where Ouyang Jing and Diana are located, and it does not need to fly at supersonic speed. Even if he only flew at subsonic speed, Ouyang Jing quickly took Diana to the sky above Paradise Island, passed through the magic barrier from the air, and returned to Paradise Island.
"Let's go back to your mother first."
Ouyang Jing landed in front of the city gate with Diana in his arms, and in the cheers of the Amazonian female warriors, he kissed Diana lightly on the forehead and said with a smile: "You have never left Paradise Island, and she must be very worried after leaving for so long this time." β
"Hmm." Diana nodded, lifted her pretty face, kissed him back on the lips, and strode into the city.
Ouyang Jing did not follow her into the city.
He came alone to the highest mountain of Paradise Island, opened his spiritual eyes, looked down condescendingly, overlooking the terrain of the entire Paradise Island, and muttered to himself: "Is there a passage to Olympus on Paradise Island?" β
Road to Olympus!
Ouyang Jing's stay in this world has only one month left.
He wants to find the passage to Olympus within a month and find out the secret of the creation of the intelligent race by the gods of Olympus!
During the journey with Diana on three continents, Ouyang Jing had already asked her, and according to her, Olympus was not the same as Paradise Island, the mountain of the gods, not on the earth.
Unfortunately, Diana also didn't know how to find Olympus.
