Chapter 69: Paradise Island, Wonder Woman, DC World

The misty waters are vast, endless to the horizon.

The rising sun shines through the clouds, its light gentle and warm.

In a certain unnamed stretch of water in the Da Xi Yang, a man sits in a lifeboat, rowing hard, heading toward the direction where the sun rises, muttering as he rows: "I don't know if the direction is right; I don't want to end up in a Life of Pi scenario, although it won't"

die, but being alone is really lonely; it would be great if Lu Si and Selinna were here.

That's right, the man is Su Qing.

Last night he timely jumped onto the lifeboat, thus avoiding the attack and not sinking with the fishing boat.

Although the tentacled sea monster behind didn't make a move, the lifeboat managed to sail safely away from that area, but he encountered a big problem: he got lost.

In the Da Xi Yang, with water all around, he had no idea which direction was which.

Fortunately, after waiting a night, the sun has risen, allowing him to roughly determine east.

He just doesn't know how long it will be before he sees land.

Sighing, Su Qing collected his thoughts and recalled the scene he saw last night.

The tentacle that protruded from below the sea surface looked like an octopus tentacle, but it was likely mutated, covered in flesh spikes; the key is that the tip can split open like a chrysanthemum, revealing a ferocious mouth full of sharp teeth.

Alright, no need to think about it.

The style of this tentacle is extremely extreme, very deep cold.

Although he only saw one tentacle, Su Qing figured it out: this is the deep-sea mutated giant octopus that will later slaughter a cruise ship.

Judging by its tentacles, this octopus is obviously not as long or thick as in the movie, but after growing another ten or so years it won't be much different.

Upon discovering the giant octopus, the big boss from 'Extreme Deep Cold', Su Qing wasn't overly surprised.

After all, before coming here he had already guessed as much.

Only back then he was more worried it might be a marine Titan monster of the Titan giant beast type.

Now that it's confirmed not to be a Titan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If there are Titan-type sea monsters, that means Godzilla is definitely around too; if Godzilla's here, we might as well forget about playing yo-yo and just go wash up and sleep!

Just Godzilla's exaggerated physique alone is more than he can handle; even if he fused with the Three Source Blood, he still couldn't beat it.

Moreover, it can breathe atomic breath.

Besides, apart from Godzilla, Earth also has many varieties of Titan giant beasts.

Can't beat it, simply can't beat it.

Fortunately it's not……

He let out a breath, Su Qing stretched lazily facing the morning sea breeze, eyes full of curiosity; so far he's encountered 'Underworld', 'Titanic', 'Extreme Deep Cold', truly not knowing what movies he'll meet next.

Ideally it would be a magic-type movie, so he could download and learn all kinds of magic; failing that, mutants would be fine too—speaking of which, the sky base should be able to download mutants' X-genes, right!

Remember that mutants are the result of early genetic experiments by the Celestials on Earth humans; humans with X-genes can develop into mutants, thereby gaining various superpowers.

Hiss!

Thinking about it, mutants and he are truly a perfect match.

After all, both are genetic variations.

While Su Qing was idly daydreaming, the wind and waves seemed to hit pause, the surroundings became very quiet; Su Qing sensed the change, stood up and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

Suddenly, the scene before his eyes changed.

On the boundless blue sea surface, a sea island abruptly appeared before Su Qing's eyes.

It seemed as if it had always been there, merely blocked by something; the lifeboat could only see it after passing through the obstruction.

"A mirage? Or a real island!" Su Qing startled briefly, then immediately rowed hard; whether it's real or not, anyway it's not far—just row over and have a look.

On Paradise Island.

On the training ground of the Amazon people, Diana was fiercely sparring with the female general Antiope.

At first, they were evenly matched, but as the old saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier.

As time passed, Diana gradually fell behind Antiope, eventually being suppressed to the point of only being able to passively defend on one side.

"Diana, is that all you've got? That's really disappointing." Antiope swung down with her sword, saying provocative words.

"Don't underestimate me." Diana raised her shield with her left hand to block the attack, swung her sword with her right, eyes firm, her tone full of unyielding determination.

As a general of the Amazon tribe, Antiope had lived who knows how long, experienced who knows how many battles, her combat skill extraordinarily high; she turned and deflected the attack with her sword, sneering: "A qualified warrior needs not only a brave heart, relentless perseverance, but also a calm mind—after all these years, you still haven't learned that!"

"I possess everything you said, and even excel beyond it." Diana retorted, unwilling to concede.

"No, you don't." Antiope denied, then suddenly shifted sideways and flung her shield.

Diana, annoyed and agitated by the general's words, failed to anticipate this attack; by the time she reacted, it was too late—her wrist went numb and slack, her sword slipped from her hand and clanged to the ground.

Then she felt a chill at her neck, a sword already resting on her shoulder.

"I..." Diana's movement froze, her expression somewhat dejected.

"Diana, let's train again tomorrow!" Antiope sheathed her sword, looking at the downcast Diana, her reluctance to speak softened her tone considerably.

"Hmm!" Diana nodded, put away her sword and shield, turned and walked toward her quarters.

Along the way, people kept greeting her, which lifted her mood somewhat, but she remained quite gloomy.

She could no longer remember how many times she had challenged Antiope.

But each attempt ended in failure.

"Huh!"

Helplessly sighing, Diana picked up a few fruits and headed toward the beach.

That place usually sees hardly anyone; whenever she felt down, she would go alone to gaze at the sea to relax her mind.

But as soon as she arrived at the beach, she saw a boat quickly approaching Paradise Island.

Upon closer look, she discovered there was only one person on board.

"How come it's not the same?"

"Diana's eyesight was extremely sharp; seeing the people on the ship, she felt they were very different from her, but for a moment she couldn't figure out where the difference lay."

"Without further thought, she dropped the fruit in her hand, took a shortcut, and sprinted toward the ship."

"On the other side, on the sea surface."

"Looking at the nearby island, Su Qing gazed ahead and saw green mountains and clear waters, flora thriving with birdsong; it felt like she had arrived at a secluded paradise, the scenery exceedingly pleasant."

"Just looking at it, the boredom from rowing alone on the sea just vanished, leaving her feeling refreshed and spirited."

"She unconsciously quickened her rowing speed."

"In this way, after five minutes the lifeboat finally succeeded in docking."

"Comfortable!"

"Su Qing stepped onto the sand with one foot, her whole body relaxed, she glanced left and right at the scenery, saw nothing unusual, and intended to pull the small boat onto the beach."

"But just as she turned around without moving, she heard footsteps quickly approaching from behind."

"Su Qing immediately turned on guard, and saw a woman quickly walking toward her."

"The woman had a delicate face, tight long legs and a front‑protruding, rear‑lifted figure, wearing an orange‑yellow one‑piece short dress."

"How to put it!"

"Looking at her, she was clearly a goddess‑level figure."

"Oh, right."

"Strictly speaking, she really is a goddess, after all she is the daughter of the god‑king Zeus, Wonder Woman, Diana."

"Since she is here, this must be Paradise Island, the homeland of the Amazon tribe."

"In the depths of the ocean, Paradise Island, Wonder Woman — they naturally go together."

"Hiss…"

"Wait…"

"Is this world the DC world?"
