Hearing Steve's incredible exclamation, Lin Zhongtian smiled faintly and turned his gaze to the direction where Diana had left.

The dark eyes lit up with a bright silver glow, and the deep gaze seemed to be able to cross the space and see the figure of the girl who rushed into the castle.

"After thousands of years, the little Diana of the year has now grown into a big girl......"

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, Diana has fully grown, her delicate and beautiful face is better than that of Gal Gadot, the actor of the movie, and her slender figure is closer to the image in the comics than the actor.

Whether it is the appearance of the body or the identity and character, it is almost perfect.

It's not like a character that can exist in reality, it's more like the perfect heroine in a fairy tale.

Looking at Diana's heroic back, Lin Zhongtian suddenly had a sense of accomplishment that she had cultivated as a girl.

But in the same way, he also took on the role of a father slightly.

Therefore, how to look at the man in front of him who abducted Diana in the original plot is not pleasing to the eye.

At the same time, Steve was also looking at Lin Zhongtian in front of him in a daze.

He recalled a few conversations he had with Diana on the boat when he had escaped from Paradise Island.

Because of the small size of the boat, he was embarrassed to sleep side by side with Diana.

On the contrary, Diana was down-to-earth and generous, not only giving him all the space she had on the ship, sitting on the bow of the boat for vigil, but also teasing him for being too shy to look like a real warrior.

Steve smiled wryly, trying to explain that the current fighters are not the same as the previous ones.

But before he could speak, Diana talked to herself about the past.

She said that the first man she had ever met in her life was her teacher, and then she told many stories about learning swordsmanship as a child, saying that she really missed her teacher......

Steve was fascinated at first, but he quickly reacted.

[Didn't you say that I was the first man to land on a paradise island in hundreds of years? 】

[That's right!] 】

[So what's going on with your teacher?] 】

[Oh, that was more than 2,000 years ago......]

[cough cough cough...... What, you're over two thousand years old? 】

[Is this the point?] 】

【…… Okay, so let's move on to your teacher. 】

[My teacher...... In fact, even if you count him, it's fine, because he's not human. 】

【…… Yes? 】

He is God! 】

Recalling the look on Diana's face at that time, Steve suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Mr. God, Diana has gone to Ares alone, I'm worried that she is not Ares's opponent, you go and help her!" ”

“……”

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him with some surprise.

"Don't you disbelieve in Ares?"

"This time and that time!"

Steve's face remains the same, and as a good spy, flexibility is his greatest strength.

Because of this, he quickly accepted the fact that there is such a thing as Diana in the world after experiencing the Paradise Island incident.

Now, another god in Diana's mouth has appeared in Steve's eyes, and he has reason to believe that the existence of the so-called god of war, Ares, may also be true!

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, looked Steve up and down, and suddenly said, "Promise me a condition." ”

As soon as these words came out, Steve was stunned for a moment.

But Lin Zhongtian didn't give him time to react, just handed the baby girl in his arms over.

"Adopt her, from today onwards, you will be her father!"

“…… Yes? ”

Steve was dumbfounded, and quickly waved his hand and shook his head in refusal.

"This ...... How can this work! ”

"I'm never married, I don't have experience raising children, and... And I'm still a spy, the war isn't over yet, I still have a lot of difficult missions on me, it's really not suitable for adopting a child! ”

Steve waved his hand and shook his head, incoherently refusing.

But Lin Zhongtian only informed him and did not give him the right to refuse.

Under the control of the spatial authority, Steve unconsciously reached out and took the baby girl in swaddling clothes.

"Very well, then let's settle it!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and patted Steve's shoulder, then soared into the sky and disappeared in front of his eyes with silver light.

Steve stood dumbfounded, and it took a long time for Steve to come to his senses, looking at the sleeping baby girl in his arms with a wry smile.

Suddenly, a muttering sound came from his arms.

Steve hurriedly looked down, only to see that the baby girl had woken up at some point, and was blinking at the moment with those red eyes, looking at Steve's face curiously.

Looking at those pure and innocent eyes like Diana when she first came out of the island, Steve's heart softened, and he suddenly felt that adopting a daughter did not seem to be a bad thing.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far away.

Steve frowned, turned to look, and saw a familiar figure galloping towards him on a black horse.

If you take a closer look, it is one of his comrades-in-arms who he found in this surprise attack on the enemy camp, an Indian man codenamed Chief.

"It's the chief!"

Steve's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly waved his arms and shouted loudly.

The Indian man on a black horse heard his voice and immediately turned his head to look, then turned his horse's head with the muscles of his arms and galloped towards where Steve was.

Soon, the chief stopped the dark horse under his crotch in front of Steve, and rolled down with agility.

"Steve, what the hell is going on?"

"What's in your arms?"

"Where's Diana?"

The chief's eyes widened, and he spat out a series of doubts.

But Steve didn't have the time to help him solve his puzzles, and when the chief approached, he decisively shoved the swaddling clothes in his arms.

"Take care of my daughter!"

“…… Your daughter? ”

The chief froze for a moment, unable to help but look at the baby in his arms.

"How did I not know that you had a daughter in enemy-occupied territory?"

The chief complained and looked up, and then saw that Steve had taken the opportunity to roll over and jump on horseback.

Sensing Steve's intentions, the Chieftain's eyes widened, "Hey, what are you doing?!" ”

Steve tugged at the reins, steered the black horse around, and threw an apologetic look at the chief.

"I'm sorry, I still have some things to do and can't stay here to take care of her, so I'll leave it to you!"

"Drive!"

With that, Steve galloped on horseback, leaving the chief alone in place, staring at the baby in his arms.

……

……

A short time later, Steve arrived at a German camp.

By this time there was chaos here, and hundreds of German soldiers gathered under a high tower in the camp and fired wildly at the top of the tower.

Bullets rained down, hitting the tower, punching holes in its already tattered tower.

All the German soldiers were shouting loudly, looking nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Behind them, more German soldiers were wearing gas masks and busily carrying what appeared to be gas bombs in metal bottles and cans.

…… What about Diana?

Steve's heart tightened, and he quickly picked up the binoculars around the horse's neck.

Through the telescope, Steve clearly saw the scene on the tower.

The girl in the golden red skirt sat on a chair in despair, beside the silver heavy sword that had fallen to the ground, and on the wall in front of her hung a man in a military uniform with wide eyes and an unbelievable face.

It is the biggest supporter behind the new poison gas program - General Ludendorff!

"Whoa—whoa—"

With the whistling sound of the air current, countless bullets came in bursts and passed by Diana and General Ludendorff.

But neither Diana nor General Ludendorff showed the slightest reaction to this.

The former is because he lost his soul and couldn't notice what was going on around him.

The latter wants to react, but has the heart to be powerless......

For he had been nailed to the wall by a silver sword through his chest.

Judging from his wide-eyed eyes, unwilling expression, and the deep, long scars on his palms, Steve could fully imagine him struggling desperately with his sword blade before he died.

…… Diana really killed General Ludendorff!

But what does this change?

Looking at Diana, who was lost on the tower, Steve sighed faintly.

He knew that this simple-minded girl naively thought that as long as she killed General Ludendorff and killed the incarnation of Ares, all the strife in the world would end.

But how could the war be so simple and it would end......

It is never the fault of any one person, and it certainly does not end simply with the death of one person.

Looking at the dejected figure on the tower, Steve gritted his teeth and rolled over and dismounted.

He crept into the camp, knocked out a lone German soldier, changed into clothes, and then escaped the sight of the Germans as if he had been helped, and so smoothly touched the tower in the center of the camp.

When he came to Diana, who had lost his soul, Steve took off his helmet and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Diana ......"

“……”

Diana's eyes finally lit up, and she grabbed Steve's arm like a drowning man grasping the last straw, looking at her helplessly and saying, "Why? ”

"Why have I killed Ares, and the war is not over?"

"Why haven't the humans out there stopped shooting?"

"Why did they put gas bombs on that plane?"

"Why...... Why ......"

Diana muttered in despair.

A litany of whys left Steve speechless.

He took a deep breath and finally said all the words he had hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Because this is humanity, this is war!"

"War is cruel, complicated, dirty, but not simple, I also want to tell you that all this is just the fault of a certain villain, but the reality is not like this!"

"Humans aren't all as kind as you think."

"With or without Ares, we're going to kill each other......"

Diana looked at Steve in a daze, she was just a little naïve and not stupid.

In the days since she left Paradise Island, she has vaguely realized that something is wrong.

But until she saw it with her own eyes, she was willing to believe that the essence of human beings was good.

Until Steve said this to her......

"Mother is right!" Diana shook her head and took a step back, looked at Steve with disappointed eyes, and said, "She's right, the human world is not worth saving. ”

Steve smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not......"

Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Steve.

"You're right, Diana......"

"The human world is really not worth saving!"

When the words came, Steve and Diana were slightly stunned and quickly turned around.

I saw a man in a gray suit walk into the room at some point, stand in front of the dead General Ludendorff, reach out and take off his hat, and turn to look at Steve and Diana.

"Sir Patrick Morgan!"

Steve looked at the man in front of him in amazement.

Sir Patrick Morgan was the only person in the top echelons of the British Intelligence Service who supported their plan to destroy the poison gas.

It stands to reason that he should still be at the front headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau at the moment, how could he be here?

Steve's pupils gradually contracted, and he suddenly remembered Mr. Kami, whom he had met not long ago, and also remembered the words that retorted to him when the other party just appeared-

Ares is real......

This is the answer given by another god.

But as the god of war, would Ares really die so easily at the hands of Diana?

Steve didn't have time to think about why Lin Zhongtian, who had left before him, didn't show up here.

He looked at General Ludendorff, who was nailed to the wall with his sword, and then at Sir Patrick Morgan, who seemed to be smiling in front of him, and his expression could not help but become solemn.

"Diana, I think we might have the wrong person."

"Ludendorff is not Ares......"

"He is!"
