Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cruelty of War
The power of the Infinity Stones, after all, is more than just a Reality Stone, if Chen Sheng can light up more gem powers, such as time gems, or soul gems, the power represented by these gems may also have a chance to save Hippolyta and others.
However, the premise of achieving this condition is that Chen Sheng can obtain eligible exchange items in the treasure trove collected by the Amazons, if he can light up the use of multiple gems at the same time, and there are time or soul gems in them.
He also put out a lot of strength, two battles, and a body of mana was about to bottom out at this moment, so he unexpectedly got this opportunity to light up the reality gem, and he didn't want to use it now.
To think that if he could light up the time gem again, or light up the power of the soul gem, he might be able to set aside an opportunity to help Diana, which was already considered a good heart.
If you are someone else, you may have bad intentions at this time, taking advantage of the defeat of Amazon and these foreign enemies, and thinking about robbing Amazon of everything.
But Chen Sheng still shook his head, holding back this tempting thought that was fleeting.
After all, he was allied with Hippolyta before the war, he wanted power, but he didn't want to be a greedy and unprincipled person.
What's more, he doesn't know where the Amazon treasure trove on this paradise island is, and he needs Diana to guide him.
"Diana, time is running out."
Chen Sheng's forehead meridians suddenly trembled, and he looked in the direction of the distant paradise island, as if he could feel that an amazing killing intent was about to descend.
The remaining Amazon executives lowered their heads slightly, silently surrounding Diana and Hippolyta, they glanced at Chen Sheng, and someone noticed that he seemed to have taken the unknown light ball left by Eunio after the self-explosion, but at this moment the queen was seriously injured, as the effective supreme leader present, their Amazon princess, Diana has not said anything, so it is not easy to question each other.
After all, they didn't know what the ball of light was, and only the two remaining legion leaders could probably guess that it was some kind of divine power remnant, but they couldn't be sure if it would be dangerous.
And Chen Sheng is a magician, and only people like them can deal with these things that have anything to do with 'magic'.
Even if Chen Sheng didn't take away the ball of light, they didn't have any means to deal with it, and the most likely thing was just to ignore it or try to destroy it.
"Diana."
Finally, there was still a legion commander who couldn't help but speak and reminded him out loud.
Diana's courage and skills have impressed these former legends, and it can be said that at the time of this destruction, they have fully recognized Diana's indispensable and important position for the Amazons.
Although Diana is still very 'young', she has proved her strength to everyone, whether it is against her opponent Ares or Erneo.
She already has what it takes to lead the Amazons.
If their queen fails to survive this crisis, then Diana will be their new king.
Therefore, at this moment, in addition to grief, these Amazon executives who have undergone subtle changes in their psychology, no matter what, they will definitely support Diana's opinions and ideas.
“... I understand. ”
Finally, Diana, who took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face.
Her eyes were still full of pain and sorrow, staring at her mother, but on her still beautiful face, she was no longer so anxious, panicked and so confused.
"Chen, we'll go to my clan's treasury right now."
She stood up and looked at Chen Sheng behind her.
"It's still too late to hope."
Chen Sheng nodded, and he was also relieved in his heart.
He was really afraid that Diana would be blinded by anger and hatred, and wanted to wait for Ares to come and fight to the death, if that was the case, he would have to run away quickly.
As for using the power of the Reality Stone to deal with Ares, Chen Sheng would not consider it unless he had to.
Let's see if he can use the Amazon's collection to light up a few more primordial stones, and then make plans.
Temporarily reining his mind, Chen Sheng raised his hand and made a spell-casting action, and began to lift the mirror dimension, and the entire space suddenly squirmed like countless prisms flipping.
After a moment of shaking, everyone found that the earth under their feet quickly fell from the sky back to the beach shore of Paradise Island.
And the mirror dimension was finally completely shattered due to the damage of the structure and the fact that Chen Sheng no longer gave magic support, and everyone fell back to the real space.
The familiar sea breeze once again blew on the cheeks of every Amazon warrior present.
After the disappearance of the mirror dimension, the entire beach of Paradise Island seemed to return to its former calm, and the sky no longer had the terrifying lead clouds and lightning that bombarded the sheltering barrier of Paradise Island.
Bright sunshine and endless blue skies return to this isolated island.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of wounded Amazons in the crowd, and even their queen, commander, and several high-ranking army commanders were lying on the ground, scorched black and in a severe coma, everyone even had a sense of unreal trance.
Everything that happened today is happening too fast.
But war is like this, and the cruelty of war, in many cases, does not give you a chance to prepare, but it suddenly comes.
............
Instructing more than a dozen elite warriors to take care of the queen and Antiope and the others, Diana prepared to take Chen Sheng to the Amazon's collection treasure house.
"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, we will definitely take care of Her Majesty and the generals here."
Because the injury was too serious, Hippolyta and the others should not move, so they could only take care of it in place, waiting for the other clansmen to return to the island to find the healing medicine of the Amazons, so there are two legends who also remained, they are the commanders of the fourth and sixth armies of the Amazons, and they have followed Hippolyta for thousands of years, and have fought countless battlefields of blood and fire.
In the accident just now, neither of them was seriously injured, and at this moment they were still looking at Diana with a sad and guilty face, and they did not protect Hippolyta well, and their king was in such danger, for them, it was even more uncomfortable than killing themselves.
And several others who were also seriously injured and unconscious, including Antiope, the commander of the Amazon, two of Her Majesty's personal guards, and five commanders of the second and fifth legions, the strongest combat power of the Amazon, plus the third legion commander who died before, is equivalent to removing most of them at once, which is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the Amazons.
If Ares kills back now, with the rest of them, I'm afraid it will be impossible to stop the other party.
The Amazons have reached the most critical juncture.
"I'll be back soon."
Diana didn't say much, the danger of extinction was already hanging over her head, and all she could do at this moment was to temporarily replace Hippolyta and open up a way for the people to live.
This is her responsibility as the princess of the Amazons.
After whispering such a sentence, the Amazon warrior on the side immediately brought a horse for her, Diana turned over and rode on, and stretched out her palm towards Chen Sheng.
"It's still too slow, and I'm afraid Ares is here before we even arrive."
"You just tell me which direction it is, I'll open a portal faster."
After removing the mirror dimension, Chen Sheng had been quietly recovering his mana, and with his current strength, it was still possible to open two more close secret law doors.
Hearing this, Diana pointed to the place where the pillar of light was still erupting towards the sky.
"In that direction, but our treasure house is hidden deep in the woods, there is a natural cliff wall, which is invisible from here, can you take us directly?"
"I see... If you can't see it, and there is no specific distance data, it is true that you can't teleport directly and accurately, but I can teleport to the limit of visibility. ”
Chen Sheng nodded, he had been paying attention to the pillar of light that reached the sky just now, and it was estimated that it should be the power against the sky that Hippolyta said.
It's just that he doesn't know what kind of treasure or artifact it is, with such power, the huge energy fluctuations it emits, even on the edge of the island, Chen Sheng can clearly feel it.
"Okay, that's fine, you can get there in two minutes at most."
Diana replied.
“ok。”
Chen Sheng immediately began to raise his hand to cast spells.
A portal to the inner island was released by his rotating palm, turning into a circular space door with countless golden particles hovering in front of Chen Sheng, and he could clearly see that on the opposite side of this door, leading to the lush inner island, there was a faint building, standing on the ground not far away.
