Chapter 564: Paradise Island

The North Sea, a paradise island descended from the Lost Old Gods and sheltered.

This is the paradise where the Amazons live, an island that cannot be observed by human technology, and even airplanes and aircraft carriers cannot detect it, let alone approach it.

It's been two years since Kandak burst out with his unique divine power, and in the intervening two years, all sorts of strange things have happened all over the world.

The growing number of supercriminals, the increasingly conflicting border conflicts, and the evil organizations that are on the rise are all taking a toll on the peace that the Justice Society maintains.

However, these did not cause any waves for the Amazons, who have been outside the human world for thousands of years.

Since the retirement of the old gods, the Amazons have not left Paradise Island for a long time, let alone actively come into contact with the unfamiliar human society, these small countries made up of women live a self-sufficient and peaceful life.

On the beach, Hippolyta, the current queen of the Amazon on Paradise Island, is standing alone on the seashore, her gaze lingering on the distant barrier, stunned.

The translucent barrier is an enchantment specially set up by the god king Zeus for the paradise island, to protect the safety of the paradise island, and also to prevent some people from discovering the existence of this island.

The Amazons had lived like this for a long time, but now, slowly, Hippolyta began to wonder if they should make a change.

Just as she was pondering, a question suddenly came from behind her.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this familiar and beautiful voice, Hippolyta slowly turned her head and smiled. "Diana, aren't you supposed to be training?"

"I've done my job well today, so the instructor gave me time off and she told me to prepare for the next phase of training." Diana was a little excited, she quickly walked up to Hippolyta and waved her fist. "Finally!"

If Zhang Yu were standing here at this moment, he would definitely recognize this little girl, but Diana at this time was not the well-known Wonder Woman in the future, she was still too young and looked like a high school student.

Looking at the young girl, who was just up to her shoulders, Hippolyta smiled lovingly, and then spoke. "You have this talent, and I believe that your achievements will be even higher in the future."

"I'll talk about that later, by the way, you haven't told me what you're doing here." Diana looked at Hippolyta curiously.

"Me."

Hearing Diana's question, Hippolyta's smile flashed with imperceptible bitterness, and she turned her head to look out to sea, silently watching the waves crash against the shore.

Staring at Hippolyta for a long time, seeing that she didn't say anything, Diana hugged her arms and continued with a smile. "If you don't tell me, I know, you're thinking about the outside world."

Hearing this, Hippolyta's eyes were a little surprised, and she tilted her head. "How do you know I'm thinking about the outside world?"

"It's very simple, you've been here since the threat posed by that Kryptonite, and it's even become more and more frequent during this time, and if I'm not mistaken, the war provoked by the Kryptonian is in the outside world, so I'm guessing you're getting more and more interested in the outside world."

Diana said seriously, and after saying that, she straightened her chest, as if she was very confident in her intelligence.

"The war started by the Kryptonians, I don't seem to have made it public on the island, Diana, can you explain where you heard this from?" The corners of Hippolyta's mouth curled.

"Ugh me." Diana was dumbfounded, hunching her neck and not knowing what to do.

"You, you're eavesdropping on our meeting again, I told you before, when you grow up and become a real warrior, my place will be handed over to you, and you will be the new king of the Amazon."

Hippolyta walked up to Diana and put her hand around her shoulder.

I thought that Diana would be very excited and happy when she heard this, but what Hippolyta didn't expect was that Diana just looked at the horizon calmly.

"What is the outside world like?"

"The outside world." Hippolyta was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly. "It's a dangerous world, and even the most brilliant warriors among the Amazons can't be 100% safe."

"Not even you?" Diana looked up at Hippolyta.

Sensing Diana's gaze, Hippolyta shook her head. "Diana, this world is not as simple as you imagined, and the reason why our people will live on Paradise Island without contact with the outside world is also a forced decision."

"Then since the outside world is so dangerous, what if those people lose, what if they don't stop the invaders, will our world be next?" Diana asked seriously.

Hippolyta opened her mouth, she wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but looking into Diana's eyes, she didn't know how to speak for a while.

The Kryptonian war five years ago had sounded the biggest alarm bell for her, and that incident was definitely not only a crisis in the human world, even Paradise Island was in trouble, but they didn't know it at the time.

If General Zodd really killed Kara and transformed the entire Earth with the Genesis Engine, not only the humans on Earth, but also the Amazons of their paradise island would not survive.

In a sense, she should really thank the humans who stopped General Zod.

After getting the specific news and ins and outs of that battle, Hippolyta's heart was only left with fear and happiness, and their paradise island was indeed a brush with death this time.

Since Paradise Island has not been in contact with human society for many years, they have not received the slightest news about the Creation Engine and General Zod, and by the time they reacted, the war had been over for more than half a year.

Although the crisis has passed, the thorn that remained in Hippolyta's heart remains.

The safety of Paradise Island cannot be handed over to those humans to protect, if they fail, then the city gate will catch fire and affect the pond fish, and Paradise Island, which is also part of the earth, will not be spared.

So.

She wanted to get out.

She wants to go to the outside world, to build an alliance with the Terrans who protect the Earth, and to contribute to the safety of all life on Earth.

This is not only for the sake of others, but also for the people of Paradise Island and Diana, who has not yet grown up.

At first, it was just an immature idea, but the energy reaction that happened in Kandak two years ago made her feel a little anxious.

The appearance of the terrifying aura of the six demon lords of hell and the divine power of the Egyptian gods at the same time means that the whole world is undergoing major changes, and the power of antiquity has reawakened, and Hippolyta is well aware of how much this will do.

After all, she also experienced that war in ancient times, and she knew very well what kind of danger lay beyond the earth.

If Kandak brought Hippolyta a sense of urgency two years ago, then the incarnation of Shazam, who belonged to Zeus's lineage some time ago, completely made her firm in her idea of leaving Paradise Island.

Since ancient times, the Amazon race and the Olympian gods have been particularly deeply connected, and the child who inherited the divine power of Zeus and other gods is naturally their 'old friend' of the Amazon family.

It can be said that the child named Billy, like Diana, is one of the 'legacies' left by Zeus, and what she wants to do is to protect the two warriors before they grow up

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Hippolyta hadn't finished speaking for a long time, Diana asked.

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted"

Hippolyta wiped her face and sighed heavily.

"Diana, you are a smart child, and the most gifted one in the paradise island, the future of this world is destined to belong to you, until then, I will block all dangers for you."

"Is there another intruder, what are you going to do?" Diana's face changed.

"It's just a feeling, I've always been a little flustered these days, maybe something big is about to happen, I'm going to leave Paradise Island in a few days, go to the guardians of the outside world, and warn them of the danger that may come." Hippolyta said.

She was hesitant before, but now the situation is not optimistic, and more and more clues are warning her that a terrible catastrophe will befall the earth, and they must prepare in advance.

"You're leaving Paradise Island!?" Diana was shocked when she heard this. "But, but you are Her Majesty, how can you get out of here?"

"It's my responsibility, Diana."

Hippolyta smiled and rubbed Diana's head and continued.

"To protect Paradise Island, to protect you, I mustโ€”"

Before she could finish speaking, an inexplicable feeling rose from Hippolyta's heart.

Hippolyta's gaze flashed with confusion, but was quickly replaced by astonishment, and she turned her head sharply to look high in the sky.

Just as she was looking up, a dark blue cylindrical circle of light suddenly fell from the dome, crossed the barrier and descended straight into the interior of Paradise Island.

"That's it"

Diana's eyes widened, not knowing what was going on.

But Hippolyta, who was standing next to her, froze for a moment, and she recognized the light, which was exactly the same technology as the invaders back then.

Looking in the direction where the light was falling, Hippolyta suddenly thought of something, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes.

"Oops!"
