Chapter 212: Waiting for the Rabbit

Sympathy for fighting too much with each other - Red guessed at first, but he quickly dismissed the answer.

Ares, the god of war, wanted to save Diana, obviously not for such emotional reasons.

"Reason? It's actually quite simple, if I'm not mistaken, Hippolyta is planning to let you kill her, right? ”

Red couldn't help but feel a little ironic that his loved ones wanted to kill her himself, but his most hated enemies wanted to protect her.

"In fact, Hippolyta wants you to kill her because she intends to bring her back to life under the protection of the gods, so that she can be washed away from her sins—but I don't want that, I want to make this daughter of the gods a sinner for the whole world, and let her prove to the world how ridiculous the so-called symbol of peace is!"

With Ares' explanation, Red finally understood Hippolyta's plan.

Wonder Woman Diana, originally a clay puppet endowed with divine powers and life by the gods, if Red kills her, her soul will return to Mount Olympus.

And as long as she is blessed by the gods of the Pantheon, she can be reborn again.

"As far as I know, Hippolyta has negotiated a deal with Athena that if Diana's body is killed, the gods will be able to erase all memories of this sin from her soul and be reborn on Paradise Island as the perfect Wonder Woman."

Diana had already died once before the Infinite Crisis, and was elevated to the goddess of truth, and although she was later relegated to mortality, this also proves that if she dies, it is indeed possible that she will be resurrected by the gods.

"The gods don't want any stain on their spokesmen left on Earth, so it's up to you to wipe out the sinful Diana, and when she is resurrected, she will forget even herself......"

"So, you want Diana to live with guilt?"

"That's right, the messenger of peace became the fuse that killed billions of people...... I'm going to use this to lift the veil of hypocrisy of the gods! ”

Red pursed his lips, to be honest, he was not interested in the grudges and hatreds of the Greek gods, he cared more about his own interests.

Hippolyta's reward for killing Diana was the entire paradise island, but if according to Ares, the gods seemed to have other plans......

He doesn't like to be taken advantage of.

"I'll remember this matter first, I'll think about it carefully, as for the divine power you gave me before, I can take it back now."

Red picked up the metal can and threw it to Ares, it was one thing to agree to Ares's terms, but there was no need for him to continue to borrow too much of his strength.

It is not a good thing to owe a favor to the gods.

Ares took the jar head in his hand, and saw a black flame rise, turning the jar head to ashes and merging it into his hand.

"To be honest, Red Douglas, I thought you would be the new god of war."

Red's pupils shrank, and he looked at Ares with a smirk.

"You're exalting me too much, I don't plan to steal your job."

"It's not to replace me, it's to merge with me...... This is very common in history, when a mortal who has been given the power of a god, if he uses the power of a god frequently, he will merge with the concept of this god, just as I have many memories of humans in history who are called god of war. ”

Ares's words may not be easy for others to understand, but Red is very clear that when he used Awakening, he sensed that if he continued to use Ares's divine power, he would gradually move closer to this god of war in terms of personality.

It's like in a dark multiverse world, after wearing Ares's helmet, his personality and thoughts are completely transformed, and he becomes the merciless and iron-fisted Bruce Wayne.

This is a transformation ability that even Batman's will cannot resist.

So Red immediately decided to take off the helmet and hasn't put it back on until now.

"Don't be nervous, this is an important path to godhood for many mortals, and an opportunity that many people have been trying to get all their lives—but you give it up easily. Not only that, but you have given up more than one chance to become a god, the gem-encrusted glove in your hand, and the chair with endless knowledge deep under your feet......"

The red eyes under Ares' helmet seemed to be a little more interested in emotion.

"I'm curious, which is the god position you are really after?"

——

When Red and Ivan Vanko confirmed that the replication and spread of the mass-produced light ring was going well, he finally relieved himself about the Overworld and concentrated on returning to the Dome's body.

"What's the matter, Eve, looking worried."

Red noticed that Eve had been looking very silent lately, and had been silently observing behind him like a guardian spirit behind him, and even complaining a lot less.

"I'm thinking...... Isn't it unfair to you, Rhett, you've been saved by you, but you've always been like a bad person—alas?! ”

Red flicked Eve's forehead and smiled.

"First of all, is it possible that I am a bad person, but I don't think anyone has a rule that bad people can't save the world, right?"

When Red walked to the main control room, he saw that everyone had gathered here in advance, the Overlord and the Almighty Man were playing chess, and Shazam and Carol were plucking the strings of the harp together, and Kirovara was sitting in her chair, very imposing as a captain, and nodded lightly after seeing Red.

"How's going on with Earth 0?"

"Darkseid has stopped, but only temporarily, when he is reborn......"

"We'll settle this before then, and once Mandrak is defeated, we Watchers will be able to do our part and get the multiverse back on track."

"But the most important thing is the man, right?"

Red looked into the corner of the main control room, where a sleeping Superman was lying, and he now looked like an ordinary small-town boy.

If it was to truly defeat Darkseid, Red knew exactly who could do it......

"His soul is now fused into the void, and it is very difficult to bring it back...... It's harder than if you bring back the Overlord. But if we succeed in defeating Mandrak—"

Bang!

At this moment, with a loud bang, the Dome suddenly shook violently.

Jirovala's face changed, and she immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

"All crew on alert! We've come to ...... target universe."

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and after Red and Kirovala looked at each other, they immediately rushed out of the hatch without hesitation.

The Dome had come to what looked like the Earth's atmosphere, and in front of the Dome was a boy in a red knitted hat and a man in a blue leotard and a cape of the United States flag.

Behind them, there were countless Mandrak warships that covered the sky.

It seems that the other party has set a trap and waited for the rabbit.

But what they are waiting for may also be a tiger.
