Chapter 34: Courage and Recognition

"Ares is defeated..."

Hippolyta seemed to lose her mind for two seconds, but quickly regained her calm expression.

Although she was also very surprised by this in her heart, she was the queen of the Amazon after all, whether she admitted such a result or not, or felt that it was unbelievable, the matter had already settled, and she could naturally judge that Diana was not lying, nor was she bewitched by any strange illusion magic.

After closing her eyes and relenting for two seconds, she stood up.

"I didn't expect that today, thousands of years later, I would be able to see the birth of a "god killer".

She looked at Chen Sheng in front of her, this mysterious mage who fell from the sky, seemed to have given her too many surprises in less than 24 hours.

It had been a long time since her mind had fluctuated in the last two hundred years.

"Godslayer" is a title that even surpasses the great title of "hero" and is more worthy of historical respect.

Hippolyta knew very well that she did not feel any divine breath in Chen Sheng's body, that is, Chen Sheng was neither a god, nor even a demigod, but he was a mortal and fought against the gods in a one-on-one war, creating great feats that no one has been able to do throughout the ages.

At least for a race like the Amazons, whose core of the national spirit is battle and honor, it is worth paying great attention to being able to do such a thing.

If this is the achievement of the warriors of the clan, then her prestige is enough to instantly equal Hippolyta, and she will be crowned the greatest warrior in the history of the Amazons.

Throughout the ages, I am afraid that all the Amazonian warriors who have been crowned with the title of legend, including Hippolyta herself, will be overshadowed by such a presence.

However, Hippolyta also had a trace of doubt in her heart, how did Chen Sheng do all this?

Is there really anyone who can grasp the power that is not enough to defeat the gods in a non-god body?

She didn't think that Chen Sheng had deliberately concealed it in the crusade against the Goddess of War, and then, suddenly, he burst out with enough power to kill Ares, which was unnecessary.

And the first battle with Ares, everyone present at the time was watching.

Although Chen Sheng's magic is magical and mysterious, in the battle between the two, he can't cause real effective damage to Ares after all, and can only use that amazing teleportation magic to catch the other party off guard and temporarily teleport him away from the battlefield.

But now, he has managed to defeat Ares head-on through a one-on-one duel.

Hippolyta couldn't help but think of what Chen Sheng had said before he fought against Erio.

At that time, he seemed to have said that his strength could not be fully used for some reason, and she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now, she had to re-examine the meaning of this sentence.

That's why he said he needed some treasures? In that case, he must have been to my Amazon's treasure house, could it be that he really found what he needed, and now he has returned to his original strength? ’

Hippolyta thought in her head.

"It's hard to imagine, how the hell did you do it?"

Although Hippolyta didn't ask her conjecture directly, after all, she had just received a life-saving grace.

If you want to ask directly and honestly, it will inevitably seem a bit of a later reckoning.

However, on the side, the straightforward and heroic General Antiop didn't seem to have any scruples, she stared at Chen Sheng with burning eyes, and asked directly.

"Uh... In fact, it is also thanks to Her Majesty the Queen and you, or should I say the nobles. ”

When Chen Sheng said this, his expression was a little unnatural, and he couldn't help coughing.

After all, he took too many things from other people, and the agreement he had made with Hippolyta before was only two or three treasures.

Chen Sheng, who is 'upright' at the moment, naturally feels a little embarrassed.

Of course, with a drink and a peck, Chen Sheng also helped Amazon defeat Ares, and pulled Hippolyta and others back from the death line, in fact, the two offset each other, and in a broad sense, it did not say who really took advantage of whom.

"Because of the urgency of the matter, I have taken seven treasures from the treasury of the nobles, and I ask Her Majesty not to blame."

"Seven treasures?"

Hippolyta couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mother, I gave it my permission."

Diana spoke up at this point. She looked determined, clearly believing that her decision was the right one.

"It's a pact I made with Chen, as long as he can help me defeat Ares, he can take any collection of the Amazons, and Chen has kept the oath between us."

"Heh..."

After a moment of silence, Hippolyta shook her head with a smile.

"It's okay Diana. I know better than anyone else that most of the treasures in the treasury are just symbols left by the gods, and even those artifacts are unusable to our clan in the first place, and if we can use them to defeat a god like Ares, I think even the father Zeus will be happy to see this result again. ”

Hippolyta, though indeed a little unhappy in her heart, had come to this point, and she knew that pursuing it again would only be disgusting.

Besides, the catastrophe of the Amazons has been overcome, and she can still reluctantly accept such a result.

So although she had some criticism in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, as if she didn't care at all.

"At that time, I didn't expect that His Excellency Mage would really be able to do such a thing as defeating Ares, otherwise I would definitely make the same choice as you."

Hippolyta's relief made Diana stunned, as if she felt that the queen mother, who was usually full of majesty, seemed to be a little different.

"Diana, you're doing a great job."

Hippolyta looked at Diana, she took two steps forward, stood in front of Diana, climbed out a palm, and gently stroked her daughter's still dusty cheek.

"My daughter, once you told me in a loud voice that you would defeat Ares and bring true peace to the world, but I doubted your courage and determination. Thinking that it just comes from an ignorant girl who doesn't know what real fear is. ”

Hippolyta's expression at this time was filled with relief and love.

"But I finally understood today that what I really had always doubted was whether I had the courage to trust my daughter unreservedly and accomplish a great deed that no one in my race, or even in the history of the gods, had ever done before, or even came close to."

"I'm afraid I'm going to lose you, and I can't accept that possibility."

"But today, you have proven yourself to me, to the whole race. In you, I saw the shadow of the once vigorous and fearless Amazon, in this short period of half a day, your bravery, fearlessness, is so dazzling and beautiful, whether it is facing Ares or Erneo, I see in your eyes, nothing can make you retreat. ”

"It was your courage and determination that saved us Diana."

Hippolyta's pace of speech slowed down as she spoke, and she seemed to be earnest in saying every word.

Although Hippolyta, as the king of the Amazons, can say a lot of disobedient and flattering words for the sake of the race and the collective good, and even put them into action, only in front of Diana will she reveal some of the truth and softness in her heart.

"I'm so proud of you, daughter."

This sentence is Hippolyta's heartfelt words.

Although Diana did not defeat Ares by herself, her performance was enough to make Hippolyta feel that her daughter had truly grown up.

"Mother..."

Approved by her own mother, Diana laughed.

She undoubtedly felt joy and satisfaction in her heart.

"Of course, I also want to thank you, Your Excellency Chen Sheng. Amazons, will always remember your assistance. ”

Turning her head, Hippolyta looked at Chen Sheng again, bowed her head slightly very solemnly, and paid tribute to Chen Sheng.

"You're welcome, Your Majesty."

Chen Sheng nodded, but he didn't say too many polite words.

.............

The door to the dormitory opened, and a dozen Amazons who were still waiting anxiously outside immediately greeted them.

"Her Majesty!"

They were pleasantly surprised to find that Hippolyta and Antiop had really returned to their original state, and the people in the dormitory were walking out one after another.
