third chapter
Normally, Diana should run to Steve... let's call this Steve No. 2 room for the time being to advance the main plot.
Listen to Steve Two talk about the wars and troubles in the outside world today.
The fledgling Diana was very curious about Steve No. 2, who was a bit handsome and considered an outstanding individual among ordinary people when she first saw him.
Even if she had enough knowledge and education, Diana, who was still a warrior at heart, how could she possibly outplay Steve No. 2, who was a spy.
Her curiosity will be aroused, her emotions stirred up, and she will be sold out again and again.
Of course, the main reason is that Diana still has enough hope and concern for human beings.
However, she is here now...
"Because..." Diana's eyes wandered, she pursed her lips and said:
"You are in danger! I was the first to discover you. I am the most powerful warrior on the island, maybe the second, no, the third. I have an obligation to keep an eye on you!"
Well, between Black Superman and Steve II, as long as they are not blind, most people make the same choice, regardless of gender.
"I thought I had released enough goodwill, but you guys still seem to want to conflict with me?" Peter asked rhetorically.
Although Amazon's vigilance is obvious to everyone, there are some things that cannot be said openly. Diana has obviously not turned around yet.
This caused her to be confused when she was asked directly, "I...that's not what I meant."
The surrounding Amazon warriors also tensed up.
"Hey, relax, it's okay." Diana quickly reassured the people around her, and then explained to Peter:
"I didn't mean that, I was just curious, who are you? Your power seems to be only possessed by the legendary gods, but they have long since died."
"Death? Who told you?"
"My mother, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons."
"I guess this must be some kind of bedtime story. Even if the earth is destroyed, they will not necessarily die."
DC's plot is very elaborate, which leads to the gods of Olympus often being "dead" in many works, but they often end up eating books afterwards and just "left the earth" or "hiding somewhere". "A certain divine realm", "the one who died is fake", "a clone" and so on.
Diana was stunned for a moment by these words, but then she heard Peter say: "It's time for you to leave."
Diana, frustrated, could only come out of Peter's room in despair.
She chose to come to Peter, not only for the same reasons as most people, but also because she was also a little "different from ordinary people."
Today it was because the awakening level of divine power in her body had exceeded the limit of the protective silver bracelet, causing a shock wave. Of course, she didn't know the reason.
She originally thought she could find some clues in Peter, a man who was also "different from ordinary people", but he seemed a little cold to her and had little interest in her.
This made her a little disappointed.
At the same time, Amazon’s high-level council finally came to a conclusion.
Hippolyta finally stopped the fight between the hawks and the doves and said, "I want to know what countermeasures you have against the other man, the man who directly destroyed the fleet at sea?"
This made the senior officials present fell silent.
"If the other party has bad intentions, we will fight him. The Amazon warriors will never retreat." Antiope, the general of the hawks, said.
"No, we don't know the origin and strength of the other party yet." The dove executives instead acted as peacemakers.
This made Antiope sneer, "You are a group of weak guys. Thousands of years of comfort have corrupted you."
"That's enough." Hippolyta stopped quickly and said with a headache: "We can't rashly conflict with him, we can't know nothing, and we have to send him out of Paradise Island."
She looked at everyone and said: "I believe that their arrival is not accidental. I want to use the Lasso of Truth and hold a duel to choose a warrior. Follow the guidance of the gods and go to the human world with them."
Soon, Steve No. 2 was surrounded by the crowd of Amazons, and his body was tied with a lasso of truth. He was so excited that he vomited everything he should say and shouldn't.
This gave everyone at Amazon a rough idea of the nature of the incident.
Ares, the god of war, is causing trouble again.
Then, Hippolyta looked at Peter again, "Sorry, we need you to wear the Lasso of Truth. We don't mean any harm, but we have to know if you are the same way."
Peter looked at Hippolyta with slightly pinched eyes, which made Hippolyta feel a little nervous, fearing that if Peter did not cooperate, things would be difficult to end in public.
And Peter's destruction was obvious to all. The red ray didn't think the Amazon warriors could block it. She glanced at Diana subconsciously, no, not even possible.
Fortunately, after Peter stared for a while, he just said: "Of course, no problem."
He had no other intention, he just wanted to test the effect of the famous Mantra Lasso and its resistance.
This made Hippolyta relax, and just wrapped the noose around Peter's arm, which made Steve Two's eyes widen.
Why is the treatment so different!
Others felt the divine power on the lasso, and soon Hippolyta asked him his first question,
"Who are you?"
Peter soon felt a wave of divine power release from the noose, seeping through, forcing a certain rule onto him, forcing him to speak the reality of what he was thinking.
Of course, it's not that he can't resist forcefully, but the consequence may be to directly destroy the rope.
But he didn't intend to lie, and there was no need to lie.
"Black Superman, a traveler from another world."
"Another world?" This answer was beyond everyone's expectations, but it seemed very reasonable. After all, such a strong guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Of course, they wouldn't have thought that this other world was so far away from Marvel next door.
"what is your purpose?"
"Home and sightseeing." Peter replied simply, "Is that enough, ma'am?"
Hippolyta gave up when she saw the opportunity, quickly took back the mantra lasso, and then announced the duel,
"We will send the most powerful warriors to the outside world to deal with Ares, and the candidates will be selected in a gladiatorial manner."
Peter also summarized the current situation. The earth is currently in the period of World War I. This background is no different from the film and television version. The comic Steve II is already in the period of World War II.
But the development of things was not like the film and television version, where Diana led the people to escape in the middle of the night. Instead, they were selected for a duel just like in the comics, and they were mixed together again.
Needless to say, the outcome of this duel goes without saying. Even though Hippolyta had secretly told Diana not to participate, Diana still participated bravely in the end and won the championship.
On the one hand, this is because she has a strong sense of justice and cannot sit back and watch people fall under the clutches of Ares and suffer the devastation of war.
On the other hand, Peter's indifference seemed to have the opposite effect, making her want to follow him even more to "find out".
And Hippolyta had her own reasons for not wanting Diana to participate. The outer obstruction of Paradise Island almost cut off the outside world, and even they had no definite way to return.
Once you leave, you will never be able to return to Paradise Island.
Hippolyta doted on her daughter so much that she naturally did not want to be separated from Diana.
Although this setting is often criticized in the follow-up.
