Chapter 33: Stunned
It was as if an invisible power had descended on Hippolyta and the others.
Their scorched injuries suddenly faded at a rate visible to the naked eye, and began to regain their original tan skin color.
The arms, thighs, upper limbs, cheeks, and even the burnt hair began to recover from their original intact appearance, and even the damaged skirts and armor on several people's bodies, the black scorch marks on them, and some small pitted damage, all began to regain their luster and show their luster again.
It's not like some kind of recovery magic, it's just... Time is turning back.
Diana was horrified by the thought that came to her mind.
Reversing the clock?
But is it possible? What kind of power can turn back time?
But what was happening in front of her made it impossible for her not to admit the facts she had seen.
At this moment, she suddenly had a sudden moment.
It seems to vaguely understand why Ares was so inexplicably defeated at the hands of Chen Sheng.
However, is the power of manipulating time a power that human beings can grasp?
Even as a legendary magician, Diana had never seen such a special existence as Chen Sheng in any ancient book with written records.
The power to control time is already greater than the gods, and it is even more awe-inspiring than the gods.
Just when Diana was looking at the scene in front of her with a bit of a blankeze, Chen Sheng had already completed his spell casting.
The mysterious green light on his body began to gradually dissipate, and the whole person seemed to return to normal.
With a slight breath, Chen Sheng lowered his arm, and the Eye of Agamotto on his chest closed again.
There's one last chance left, so save it as your hole card. ’
The mana consumed to control the Eye of Agomoto was extremely amazing, and under the opportunity to use a power gem that Chen Sheng had already consumed, in his normal state, his mana was only enough for him to release this spell.
This was after he had rested for an hour, and he had basically recovered his mana.
Reversing time is more difficult than he imagined, its difficulty is comparable to that of Static Ares, he reversed the time of Hippolyta and others for more than two hours in thirty seconds, and restored several people to the initial state of uninjured bodies, this kind of accelerated reversal, the more terrifying the mana that needs to be consumed in the future, and this is still without any obstacles.
If he wants to reverse an existence of the level of Ares, and he is conscious, he will inevitably be resisted by divine power, and I am afraid that reversing the other party for a few minutes will be able to drain his mana directly.
At his current level, it was still too reluctant to use the Eye of Agamotto without borrowing the power of other gems to assist.
Of course, his current Eye of Agomoto is just an illusion item, far from the power of the original, if he gets a real and complete time gem and can control it, it won't be so difficult at all, and it won't cost so much mana to support it.
Wiping the little sweat oozing from his forehead, Chen Sheng looked at Hippolyta and the others again, and the expressions of these high-ranking Amazonians no longer had the original painful expressions.
If it weren't for the fact that everything just happened not long ago, it would have been hard to believe that Queen Hippolyta and these people were still scorched and dying dozens of seconds ago.
But now, they have returned to their normal appearance that is basically the same as when they first met Chen Sheng.
“!”
The first person to open her eyes when lying on the ground was Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons.
She sat up with a shriveled bow, her expression surging with vigilance and solemnity, and her right hand seemed to reflexively lean out to the side to find and fumble with her weapon, but then her expression froze.
She saw Diana's haggard appearance with an excited face and tears in her eyes.
"Diana... I'm ..."
Her eyes narrowed, as if remembering something.
Although her body was reversed and restored to more than two hours ago, Hippolyta was in a coma, and her consciousness was not cut off from real time, so she still remembered that she was unable to dodge the last scene, and was blown away by the self-detonation of the goddess of war, Eneo.
“... What's going on? Am I not dead yet? ”
One by one, the others woke up, and General Antiop sat up with one hand on the ground, and looked around, apparently recognizing that it was in the bedchamber of the Amazonian palace.
"The palace? How did we end up here? ”
Several Amazon Legion Commanders who woke up also had confused expressions, and they also saw Diana, and also saw that the mysterious magician from before was standing beside Diana, looking at them with a smile at the moment.
"Mother, it's all over, Ares has been defeated."
Diana leaned down and hugged Hippolyta.
She hugged her tightly, feeling the warm and familiar breath in her arms, and the tears in her eyes welled up.
Almost, just little, she thought she was going to lose the person in front of her.
Despite the arrival of Ares, the dust has settled and everything is over, and all that has happened has only been enough for a morning, but in this half day, Diana feels as if it is longer than the more than she has lived on Paradise Island for more than 100 years.
"Diana..."
Hippolyta looked stunned, but felt the tight embrace of her daughter in her arms, and her face suddenly softened.
She stretched out her arms and hugged her daughter as well, and at this moment, she didn't say much.
Three seconds later, she raised her head and looked at Chen Sheng, who had already been noticed by her.
"Your Excellency, did you save us?"
She didn't directly ask Ares what was going on, but now that Chen Sheng and Diana could have the heart and time to save the injured here, it meant that the crisis on Paradise Island should be at least temporarily suspended.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Sheng directly and generously admitted it.
"This is my promise to Diana, an agreement between us."
Hippolyta's eyes flashed with all the thoughts.
Two seconds later, Diana let go of Hippolyta, threw herself into Antiope's arms, hugged each other vigorously, and the two looked at each other until smiles reappeared on both faces, and Diana let go of Antiope and stood up again.
"Mother, it's like this..."
So, in front of Hippolyta and Antiop, as well as several other legionnaires, Diana recounted in detail what happened after the people fell unconscious.
However, when it came to how to treat Hippolyta and the others, Diana did not say much, nor did she say the scene she had seen before, she kept her promise to keep the secret she had for Chen Sheng.
It was only said that Chen Sheng used incredible magic to pull them back from the line of death.
"It's... It's unbelievable..."
An Amazonian legion commander with long brown hair muttered to himself.
If these statements had not come out of the mouths of their Amazonian princesses, she would have thought it ridiculous.
This magician in front of him single-handedly killed Ares, the god of war?
And the process was vague, and it seemed that he didn't know exactly what was going on, and Ares was defeated at the hands of the other party.
With Zeus the Father above, is this really a possibility?
But Diana's look didn't look like she was lying at all, and they knew very well that the princess of their family was of extremely good character, and all the Amazons trusted Diana as they trusted Hippolyta, and she wouldn't lie at all.
