Chapter 296: The Value of Life

As Red expected, although he was suppressed by the Bronze Giant, neither Matthew nor Little Da Vinci, nor the owner of the Bronze Giant, was not seriously harmed.

If anything, Matthew looked devastated by his failure to withstand Aphrodite's mental manipulation.

"I didn't expect to lose consciousness and attack Miss Drake...... Obviously, I should still have Mr. Galahad's spiritual influence. If it hadn't been for Mr. Red's stop, I might have made a big mistake. ”

Little Da Vinci, although his face was also a little pale, still squeezed out a smile to comfort Matthew.

"There's no way, Matthew, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and with our magic power, there's no room for resistance at all—it's not a mental manipulation, it's a complete intelligence usurpation."

When hearing the conversation between Little Da Vinci and Matthew, although Red was silent on the surface, his heart sank secretly.

This is indeed a bit wrong, according to Red's original prediction, with Matthew's special physique, even if he encounters Aphrodite's spiritual attack, he can hold on for a period of time with the residual ability of Galahad Lingji to resist abnormal states.

But now it seems that Matthew was mentally manipulated in an instant, and even if her ability decreased because her master was not around, it should not be to this extent.

And not to mention Matthew and Little Da Vinci, even the goddess Europa, who is also a god, was also manipulated at the same time...... Even Aphrodite hadn't revealed her true mech.

Red couldn't help but glance at Aphrodite, just in time to meet the gaze of the goddess of love and beauty, the corners of the latter's mouth raised slightly, and this arrogant smile alone stimulated Red's hormones.

"What's the matter, men who don't believe in God, are they still fascinated by my beauty after all?"

Red looked directly at Aphrodite and still looked the same, although the other party seemed to exude the ability to make men crazy all the time, but the more Red was in his veins, the more the boiling and burning anger emotional energy could keep his brain clear, and the red light energy had a natural restraint against any mental attack.

"I'm sorry, you don't seem to be my favorite dish, after all, I don't want to say anything else, but the beautiful woman has already tasted a lot...... To be honest, if I could see your true mechic form, I might be a little more excited. ”

Aphrodite's gaze flashed cold and fierce, and Red could sense that his own provocation had worked, and the goddess seemed to be more easily irritated than Demeter.

Unfortunately, the same strategy doesn't seem to work twice.

"What a bold man, if it weren't for Zeus's additional orders, no matter what happens, I wouldn't be able to show my true form in front of the intruders, I really want to use my power to correct your stupid thoughts and make you my slave."

Tsk, Zeus, did you learn a lesson from your last contact with Demeter?

For Aphrodite, a true mech, her human form is like a desktop shortcut to computer software, and whatever you do to her will not affect her body, so Red is not interested in engaging in pointless combat.

"Look, come, Aphrodite, I'm talking to you!"

Europa's distinctly angry voice rang out, and in fact Aphrodite had been chattering beside her before she had spoken, but the goddess of love and beauty seemed absent-minded about her words.

"Oh—you're still here, Lady Europa, what did you just tell me...... Is it time for the next afternoon tea party? ”

Seeing Aphrodite's lazy appearance that didn't look like she was pretending, Europa's originally angry expression froze, and she took a deep breath before calming down and saying.

"I just asked you, why do you want to carry out mind manipulation with me, no matter what, I am now the divine concubine of Lord Zeus, your behavior is really too disrespectful! And even the bronze giant Talos, who was given to me by Lord Zeus, was destroyed because of it......"

"That's all right, Zeus will give you another one later, and besides, I'm just assisting others in Zeus's mission...... If you want to blame her, blame her. ”

Aphrodite pursed her mouth, and the gaze of the goddess Europa shifted to the blonde woman with her hands on her chest and a gloomy face, not far behind Aphrodite, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Hera of another world...... What exactly do you mean? ”

"Hmph, first of all, there is no need to add the prefix 'another world', since Hera, the god of this world, has died, then I am the only Hera and the only wife of Zeus."

Hera walked up to Europa and said in an aggressive tone.

"And you should have heard it at the time, Zeus gave me an important order to use the same emotional power as the invaders, the weapon called the 'Lantern Ring' - there is no doubt that the woman over there is wearing what Lord Zeus wants."

Hearing Hera's words, Red's heart moved.

Zeus wants a light ring?

Judging by Europa and Aphrodite's reactions, Hera is not lying, but it is strange that this way.

Zeus should know that he is using emotional energy, so if he wants the Lantern Ring, he can directly ask for it or make a deal with him, not to mention whether he will agree or not, at least this will definitely be more practical than letting Hera steal the Lantern Ring.

And that "the same as the invaders" statement......

It's almost like saying that there is someone else in Olympus who holds the lamp ring besides himself.

"Your mission has nothing to do with me, Hera! I warn you again if you ..... to me If you do it with my guests, I will judge you for your crimes as the goddess Europa, and even if I don't use the bronze giant, I will crush you with the treasure [the beloved white bull] (Chionis Tauros), which is more than enough. ”

Hera's expression became distorted, but she gritted her teeth and turned away in the face of Europa, who exuded a powerful momentum.

"It's time to go, Hermes, and we'll look for another opportunity next time."

The ability of the Greek gods in the DC universe is not too exaggerated, and there is a huge gap in strength compared to Europa with a god core in this Hearsay Zone.

After seeing Hera leave, Europa breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Aphrodite on the side also stretched - if an ordinary man saw this scene, he would probably lose too much blood from the gushing nosebleeds.

"Alright, then I should go back to sleep - don't be so angry, Europa, your lovely and beautiful looks are all wasted, don't worry, I won't take sides...... If you have a conflict with her next time, as long as you come to me first, I'll be happy to help. ”

Arrogant, casual, and arbitrary, this is the norm of the Greek gods, and it seems that Aphrodite is closer to the original Olympian god in personality after absorbing the eponymous character of the DC universe.

Although Aphrodite also left, Europa's frown did not relax, but turned to look at Red with a serious gaze.

"Now, it's just the most important question, about what happened to that child."

"Do you mean me tearing down that bronze giant - uh, you should know it's force majeure......"

Red scratched his head, after all, he knew that it was a token of love given to Europa by Zeus, and it was estimated that no god could repair it except Hephetos, the god of fire.

But who can resist the temptation to tear down a superrobot?

"No, that's fine...... I mean she, that girl—what the hell is going on with that girl hiding behind Miss Drake! ”

As soon as Europa finished speaking, everyone turned their heads, and after feeling the eyes of the others, the puppet Diana took a few steps back with some uneasiness.

"Are you talking about me...... I, I, I am...... Diana Prince. ”

It looked like she could still remember Red's orders, but Europa's eyes immediately narrowed sharply.

"Tell me who you really are, this is my order as the Divine Concubine Europa!"

The puppet Diana's mouth opened, and after a few seconds of stangling in place......

"Wow."

Ah, this, the puppet still has this function? Seeing Diana, the puppet who suddenly cried, Red himself was stunned.

Originally, Red thought it was just a robot-like thing, and would only act according to established procedures.

But it's also really ...... It's so realistic.

I saw the puppet Diana stumble to Red's side, clutching his arm like a child.

"How, what to do...... I—I can't disobey the word of the gods, but I can't resist your command of me...... What to do, master...... Ah, no, bad master, abominable master......"

But you're already exposing your identity and disobeying my orders, and don't maintain your tsundere personality at this time.

Looking at Diana, the doll with rain in Pear Blossom, Red shook his head helplessly, and when he looked up, he found that everyone except Drake was looking at him with complicated eyes.

Of course, the complexity here is a collection of negative meanings.

"This ...... Would you believe me if I said that it had nothing to do with my desires, but that she was created to save the Chaldean Lord? ”

——

"What does Mr. Red mean - are you going to use this automaton to exchange information about your seniors with Miss Mera?"

Back in the sky courtyard on the outer edge of the Grand Temple of Orbit, Matthew covered his mouth in surprise as he looked at the automata that looked almost identical to the real Diana Prince.

Little Da Vinci looked at the doll thoughtfully, and then glared at Red fiercely.

"But in this case, there are two questions - first, do you think you can deceive the queen of the sea in this way; Second, for the real Miss Diana...... What are you going to do? ”

Being treated with obvious contempt by this little child servant still hurt Red a little.

However, it is normal for little Da Vinci to be angry, she herself is a doll made by the real heroic Da Vinci, and for her, the doll Diana is very close to herself.

"Uh...... Let me answer your first question first...... Diana, it's order, it's time to sleep. ”

"Alas—Hamm...... Whew......"

Hearing Red's words, Diana, the puppet who was originally curiously looking at the beautiful scenery around her, suddenly became confused, and then simply lay on the table to reveal her sweet sleeping face.

"When the time comes, I'll take her to Mera, and ask her to tell us the information about the Chaldean Lord first—at least not in appearance, and the automaton won't wake up in any way without my further orders."

This function actually seems to be prepared for some kind of special play, and little Da Vinci seems to be aware of this, but he finally purses his lips and motions for Red to continue.

And then there is the second question, about the real Diana...... As far as I know, her mother, Hippolyta, was in Olympus and was being treated with a high standard by Zeus. Yes, Lady Europa. ”

Europa had been watching the puppet Diana fall into deep thought, but only woke up after hearing Red's words.

"What do you say...... Oh yes, Hippolyta, though close to mortals, was allowed to travel freely to and from the Great Temple of Orbit by Lord Zeus, which was the same treatment as Kilshtaria, an ally of Lord Zeus. ”

"That's right, since Hippolyta is here, then Diana shouldn't be in any danger - so the problem on her side can be put aside for now, let's go to find the Chaldean Lord first, it's been a few days since she disappeared, I think you should be worried too, right?"

Matthew and little Da Vinci glanced at each other, and they could see each other's thoughts, and indeed the safety of the Chaldean lord Fujimaru Rika was the most urgent matter now.

"Mr. Red Douglas, about this child......"

Europa reached out and gently stroked the sleeping doll Diana's hair.

"I've checked, and she's indeed an automaton - a transient being created to please you, and will obey your orders completely. But can you promise me one thing, at least...... At least in her short life, please be gentle with her, she may be insignificant to you......"

Hearing Europa's words, Red's mood didn't know why it was a little heavy.

"But to her, you are the whole value of her life."

——

Olympus, the belt of underground mechanics, the realm of Hades, Hades.

A light but slow footstep echoed in the corridor, and the delicate and luxurious robe was none other than the goddess Europa, who had just bid farewell to Red and the others.

But now, the beautiful face of this goddess has been covered with a layer of sadness.

"I didn't expect you to cooperate with my lies, Divine Concubine Europa, you should be able to tell that child is not one of those soulless puppets made by Auto X Hall."

A flirtatious voice sounded in the shadows, and Europa stopped.

"What the hell are you planning...... The creation of life, which is contrary to the laws of nature......"

"Didn't I tell you about my purpose a long time ago, and you should have already agreed to cooperate with us."

Tezcatlipoca, known as the Smoke Mirror, comes out of the shadows with the crown of the Servant.

However, compared to when he met Red, his eyes behind his sunglasses seemed to be a little more evil.

"It's all about destroying the original world—"

"Then bring a new sun (era) to all life!"
