Chapter 59: The Final Weapon
Before nightfall, Ethan and Arthur reluctantly built a prototype of a shed, which could be covered with leaves for a night.
With a shelter from the elements, there's no need to be in such a hurry, and the bear-kid version of Diana, who has been asking questions all the time, has finally gotten more responses - Ethan is in the mood to answer her all sorts of weird questions.
"Aren't you from this world?"
"It's not. β
Ethan has already exposed the information that he can break the plane barrier, and the DC universe worldview already has the concept of multiverse, and Diana, who is a descendant of the Olympus gods, will be able to access these things sooner or later, but Ethan will not tell these people on Paradise Island that the universe he lives in and the DC universe are still not the same system.
If the multiverse concept of the DC Universe is an infinite number of branches in one tree, then Ethan is an absolute outsider who comes to this tree from another tree.
The space-time energy in his body is consumed every moment, and it is essentially the force to resist the rejection of the world. Ethan had long been aware of this, and the Ancient One and Merlin had also revealed some relevant information to a greater or lesser extent. It's just that he still hasn't had a clue how to solve this problem.
Diana saw that Ethan suddenly stopped talking, and did not feel that she was being neglected. After staying together for a long time, she gradually understood that this magician sometimes suddenly fell into thought, and Arthur explained beside her, she guessed that maybe magicians were like this.
"After all, if you want to use all kinds of magic, you must always think about something......"
When Ethan didn't speak, she chatted with Arthur, asking him what the place he used to live like, and asking him what he would like? After learning that Arthur knew swordsmanship, Diana, who had always wanted to become stronger, jumped up and wanted to try it with Arthur.
Attracted by the sound of the two people fighting, Ethan looked up for a while and made sure that Diana at this time could easily put her down, not to mention Arthur.
This future wonder woman has not awakened the hidden power in her body at this time, and her swordsmanship is also very rough, but she can vaguely see a little posture, and it should not be long before she started practicing.
"So...... Now should be the time when the Wonder Woman movie has just begun, Antiope secretly teaches Diana to practice. β
Therefore, the competition between Arthur and Diana is more of a one-sided teaching than a competition.
Arthur, who has always been a staunch follower of chivalry, will certainly not make a move to hang the bear child, he is very measured when he shoots, and he will deliberately slow down his movements to show Diana the right timing and movements.
Slowly, this became a real teaching, and Arthur explained the essentials as he demonstrated, until Ethan finished dinner, and this sudden on-site instruction came to an abrupt end.
"Ah, it's so late!"
Diana realized at this time that she had run out for a long time, and seeing that it was almost time for her to sleep, she waved her hand at the two people, indicating that she would come to play with them next time, and she ran away without a shadow.
It wasn't until Diana couldn't even hear the sound of running that Ethan beckoned to the woods not far away: "After watching for so long, you must be a little tired, rest and eat something before going back." β
Antiope walked slowly out of the gloomy woods, she didn't hide her aura and her movements from the beginning, and she even deliberately made a noise to remind Ethan of her presence.
Only Diana, who was still a little child, didn't notice it, and both Ethan and Arthur had already noticed her.
It wasn't until Diana was gone that Ethan greeted Antiope, and when he saw her appear so happily, he realized that this woman must have something to say to him.
"Sit!"
As if he were entertaining guests in his own home, Ethan sat by a fire and pointed to the food roasting on the fireβjust a simple soup of dry food and vegetables, and a pheasant he had caught nearby.
It has no taste, it can only be used to fill the stomach, but for the people on Paradise Island, such a simple food is actually their daily diet all along.
So Antiope didn't dislike it at all, she stood like a statue for a long time, and she was already hungry.
The female warriors of the Amazon are not all the best women, each of them has undergone rigorous training, and the super large amount of training also allows them to have a much more food than ordinary people, so it didn't take long for the whole roasted pheasant to go into Antiope's belly.
"Young Magician......
"Just call me Ethan. A mouth is a long list of titles, and Ethan is not used to this, so he emphasized it. "I guess you're troublesome to call it all the time. β
Antiope nodded, "Okay, Ethan, can you tell me about the other worlds? β
Antiope only knew a general concept of a parallel universe or something, and the specific content was not clear, and she didn't know what the difference between the parallel universe and the world she lived in, and she was very curious about it.
"Actually, there are many parallel universes, and they are all different from each other, and most of them ...... It shouldn't be much different from this world. β
For Antiope, it is not like Arthur and Merlin who say everything. Merlin himself has extremely high strength, and even if Ethan doesn't say it, he can learn the information he wants to know from Ethan's brain. It's just that Merlin's own moral literacy is high enough that he won't do that kind of thing easily.
Antiop ...... Not to mention that Ethan knows very little about him, and at the same time, she doesn't have the strength to absolutely crush herself, so he doesn't need to explain everything in detail.
So he just gave a few examples to prove that parallel worlds are just normal worlds in general, and there is nothing particularly unusual. At most, the ethnicity and culture of the people who live there are a little different from here.
What kind of world did he come from? Ethan didn't mention anything about it, let alone tell Antiope about the world he was talking about, most of which he had never been to, and many of them were movies and anime novels he had seen in his previous life.
After listening to Ethan's description, Antiope did not continue to ask about the parallel worlds, but instead asked Ethan if he often traveled through various worlds.
"Yes, I've been traveling around the world, and that's a way to gain more experience. β
Ethan's words are not false, Arthur follows him, isn't this the fundamental purpose? It's just that he spends most of his time sailing on the calm seas, and then finds the energy of time and space before he goes to other worlds.
You don't have to worry about this kind of detail.
Bit by bit, Antiope asked a few more questions, and it was not until late in the evening that she took her leave.
When Antiope was also far away, most of the time Arthur, who only listened to him, discussed with Ethan with great certainty.
"She seems to be tempting us?"
"Yes, after all, we are outsiders who suddenly broke into Paradise Island, and it is normal for her to come to temptation. Ethan didn't think it was strange, what made him feel wrong was the direction that Antiope was probing.
"She's not trying to get to the bottom of us, she's trying to get to the bottom of it...... and the situation of the world in which we live. β
"Hmm. β
"Don't you think this situation is familiar?"
Arthur's words reminded Ethan that he had always felt a sense of familiarity, and when he looked up at Arthur on the next side, he remembered that Merlin had done something similar.
"I see. β
Thinking of the plot of Wonder Woman, Ethan finally understood what Antiope or Hippolyta had in mind.
The plot of the whole Wonder Woman is actually very simple.
Diana was born and raised on a paradise island, and her mother, Queen Hippolyta, did not want her to become a warrior, believing that it would lead her to end up hostile to Ares, and most likely to die as a result.
Antiope, on the other hand, had a very different idea from the queen, believing that a decisive battle with Ares was inevitable, so she should do her best to train Diana so that she would have enough strength to deal with the threat from the god of war.
Of course, in the end, Diana took the path arranged by Antiope, but Hippolyta always had doubts - Ethan did not understand the queen's thoughts, did she think that her daughter was a weak chicken, and Ares would let Diana and the entire Amazon family of Paradise Island go?
Perhaps it was because she herself realized that it was unrealistic to escape, and after discovering that Antiope was secretly training Diana, she continued to acquiesce to this behavior after a slight tantrum.
Now because of his appearance, he has given the queen a new choice: to send Diana away!
As the queen of the Amazons who lived through the time of the god-king Zeus, Hippolyta knew that parallel universes were not strange, and she should also know that Ares did not have the ability to cross the plane barrier to hunt down Diana in another world.
Therefore, if Diana really leaves this world, then her safety will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
"It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world!"
After talking about his own speculation, and by the way, he also talked about the general situation of the world, and Arthur also expressed similar feelings to Ethan.
"It's just that, in this case, will the god of war Ares let go of the Amazons on Paradise Island?"
Ethan sneered: "How is that possible?"
Considering that Diana has an identity for Ares that cannot be ignored - Diana in this world is the 'ultimate weapon' left by Zeus to deal with the God of War, so Ares will not let Diana go no matter what.
If Diana is really sent to another world, then without Diana's protection, the only thing that awaits the Amazons is destruction.
