Chapter 40: Gods and Heroes
"Good afternoon, Captain Steve, if your name is Steve, of course."
Steve Treitch slowly raised his head, he was still a little confused, he didn't know what to do, but after seeing some classically dressed beauties and an abrupt man standing in front of him, he finally came to his senses.
"Who are you?" Steve was sure that he had arrived on some unknown, unexplored island, because the costume was so ancient that even a soldier could recognize the ancient Greek style.
"Where are you from?" Hippolyta asked Steve.
"United States." Although he wanted to be honest for a while, Steve blurted out that he was surprised by this strange honesty.
"Tell me your purpose?"
Under the effect of the "Lasso of Truth", Steve poured beans into a bamboo tube, telling his identity, mission, and experience.
"Dr. Poison is creating a grade of poison gas, and once she succeeds, Germany has new bargaining chips, and the war will not stop. I must return to London at once, hand over Dr. Poison's research notes to the big names in London, and stop the war from going on...... I beg you, help me, and send me back to London......"
Steve earnestly pleaded with the Amazon queen and the generals, under the noose of the truth, he could not lie, every word was from the bottom of his heart.
Queen Hippolyta was noncommittal and discussed it with the generals. With El's science, they already know what the outside world is really like.
In the end, they came to the unanimous conclusion that the world war was not an alien invasion of the earth, but just a cannibalism among the humans on the earth, and it had nothing to do with them.
This, of course, caused Diana to be dissatisfied, and her education told her that she should make a difference.
"Mother, generals."
Her Royal Highness said very seriously: "I think this war that has swept all mankind has something to do with Ares. It is likely that Ares instigated the war. ”
"Enough, Diana, I will never allow any of the Amazon's warriors to leave Paradise Island, El has explained to us that in this war of hungry wolves for prey, there is no justice, only evil."
"But!" Diana wanted to say something, but Hippolyta insisted.
"Remember, Diana, humans are not the perfect race created by God. They are fickle and easily corrupted. They never need anyone to be demagogic, just to satisfy their own desires, they can go to war at will.
"Diana, you remember, since ancient times, it has never been the evil gods or some foreign invaders who have killed humans the most, but the humans themselves. Such human beings do not deserve our help. Hippolyta said.
The atmosphere between mother and daughter is becoming more and more tense, and the generals actually agree with Hippolyta, it is a human war, and it has nothing to do with them.
And, most importantly, they also understood Hippolyta's true thoughts, she wanted to protect Diana, and she didn't want Diana to be known by Ares.
"But can you listen to me?" El knew that Diana was definitely going to leave Paradise Island, but he didn't want Diana to leave in this way.
"First of all, to be clear, Ares is still alive." Hearing El's words, Hippolyta almost drew her sword on the spot, but in the end she pressed it down. "But this battle was not caused by Ares, Diana, you have to understand that it was not Ares who made the war, but the war that made Ares."
"Because there are people, all have the concept of war."
Faced with Hippolyta's anger, Elr stared straight at her.
"This is Diana's mission, it's time, Your Majesty, you can't protect Diana for the rest of your life."
Hearing El's words, Hippolyta's anger gradually subsided, and she knew that she could not restrain Diana forever.
"Her bloodline, her mission, her duty, all determined that Diana could not be tied to Paradise Island."
"I know." Hippolyta stared at El. "But what I want to know is, will you leave with her? Protect her from the ugliness of humanity. Messenger of the gods! ”
Hearing Hippolyta's name, El was stunned, because he did not expect Hippolyta to see him as a messenger of the gods.
"I'll protect her." But El still promised. "In the name of the body!"
El didn't think much of the Greek gods, so he wouldn't borrow the names of those guys.
"I am not a messenger of the gods." El said slowly. "But I'll prove to you that I'm qualified."
In the horrified eyes of everyone, time and space were changing, the cave turned into a wasteland, and countless long swords stood like tombstones, and huge gears hung in the sky.
"Hepal!"
"Shoot a hundred!"
"Durandal (the indestructible pole gun)!"
"Meteor Gun!"
.....
Countless heirloom soldiers are inserted in the spine of the mountain, and those are the marks of great heroes, and they are all heroes who have left a brilliant mark on the brilliance of mankind.
Hippolyta looked at the huge longbow in front of him, and stroked it gently, and by touching it, he could feel the roar of a giant, the afterglow of a great hero.
"Hercules!"
Hippolyta remembered the terrible man, the man who carried the sky on his own.
"I admit you!" Hippolyta looked at El and said.
And Steve, who witnessed everything, felt that he was a little broken, now is the time when science prevails, the mystery has long been swept away by ignorance, although Steve is also a Christian, but in fact, he is just a shallow believer, he believes in his pistol more than God.
"God, the myth turned out to be true,... Steve muttered to himself.
"God is also real, but he doesn't care about ordinary human beings, the universe is so big, God doesn't just focus on the small place of the earth." El couldn't help but say with some amusement when he heard Steve's self-talk.
"Oh my God, God ........"
"Well, don't be too surprised, dear Mr. Spy, this is Zeus's territory, and the Voice of Heaven won't care about it." El said as he looked at Steve.
"What is the voice of the sky?"
"The voice of heaven, Jesus the God of your mouth." El patiently explained, compared to Captain Deepor, who still had some careful thoughts, El didn't want to deal with it too much.
If it was purely for justice, then it would be enough to destroy the formula, but he still remained, didn't he also want to use it in his own country?
