Chapter 320: Amazon Princess in the Innocent Stage

[A beautiful island hidden in a barrier... still the DC world...]

Looking at the island right in front of her.

Ye Li’s mind turned, and he quickly reached a conclusion:

[It seems this is "Themyscira," Gwen should be on this island...]

"Archers, ready!!"

In front of the warship, on a cliff not far away.

Queen "Hippolyta" of the Amazon tribe ordered loudly, and the female warriors bent their bows and set arrows in unison, aiming at the unknown steel monster on the sea.

Gwen followed Diana, standing in the second row of the crowd, unable to see the situation in front clearly.

She stood on tiptoe, her gaze passing over the heads of these tall female warriors, and only then did she see the warship approaching the coastline.

[It’s actually the German Navy...]

Gwen was a bit confused.

What happened to the ancient Greek city-state... why did the style change to modern times again?

However, after seeing the person at the bow of the ship clearly.

She immediately didn't care about Greece or Germany anymore...

"It’s Li!"

Gwen whispered, hurriedly pulling Diana next to her, reminding her: "My boyfriend is on this ship, Diana, hurry and tell your people not to attack."

She wasn't worried about anything happening to Ye Li, but was afraid that Diana’s people would make him angry...

"But..."

"No buts, it won't be good if a fight breaks out, you don't want to see your tribespeople get hurt either."

"Alright..."

After hesitating for a moment, Diana gritted her teeth and shouted to "Hippolyta": "Mother, wait! The people on the sea are not enemies, don't attack!"

"Mother?"

Gwen was slightly stunned.

[So Diana is actually a princess...]

She had just learned from the conversation of the crowd that the woman riding the white horse was the Queen of the Amazon tribe.

"What’s wrong, Diana?"

Hippolyta turned to look at her daughter, serious: "This is a critical moment, don't cause trouble."

"It’s not that."

Diana pulled Gwen’s wrist and signaled: "My friend said her lover is on that iron ship."

"Friend? Lover?"

Hippolyta looked Gwen up and down, her brows gradually furrowing: "Who are you? There doesn't seem to be anyone like you in our Amazon tribe..."

Hearing this, the people around also looked at Gwen carefully, their gazes gradually becoming suspicious.

"Yes, I didn't notice just now, there isn't a single person among our tribespeople whose skin is this white!"

"I have never seen her!"

(cbch) "Who exactly are you?"

Although Gwen was also wearing the Amazon tribe’s attire, her blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin were completely different from the Amazons with their healthy wheat-colored skin, quickly causing a discussion among the crowd.

Diana’s master, Antiope, stepped forward and questioned sternly: "Diana, where did you bring this girl from?"

"From... from..."

Diana looked at Gwen and stammered: "Picked her up from the sea..."

Gwen: "..."

"Picked her up from the sea!?"

Antiope couldn't believe it: "When?"

"Just a short while ago... when a meteor flashed across the sky."

Diana looked at the expressions of the crowd, seeing that they didn't seem very happy, lowered her head, and told the truth.

"After I ran into the sea, I discovered... Gwen was that meteor.

She seemed like the kind of... child of a god that Mother talked about in her stories, so I brought her back."

"Child of a god?" Hippolyta’s brows furrowed even tighter, "She told you that?"

"No... I guessed it myself..."

Antiope: "Did you ask about her background?"

"Didn't have time to..."

"So you brought such a suspicious person with an unknown background into Themyscira! And believed what she said so easily?"

Antiope’s face turned black, and she scolded: "What if she’s a spy sent by the people on that ship!"

The female warriors also agreed one after another—

"Yes! How could Diana bring someone she just met onto the island!"

"This person fell from the sky, it’s too weird! Could it be that Ares, the God of War, sent her to find us..."

"To be safe, hurry up and arrest her!"

Gwen curled her lips upon hearing this.

Although she was a good person, she had to admit that Diana was indeed a bit too innocent...

"Don't be like this. I don't think Gwen is a bad person."

Diana spread her arms, shielding Gwen, and turned her head to whisper an apology: "I'm sorry, Gwen. I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

"It's fine."

Gwen gave a sweet, bright smile: "I've long been used to being misunderstood. This is nothing~~"

Back when she first started as "Ghost-Spider," wasn't she misunderstood too?

But later, she still became a world-famous superhero idol.

So Gwen believed that misunderstandings would always be cleared up.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, let's tie her up and use the Lasso of Truth to find out!"

Antiope waved her hand, and the female warriors swarmed forward to capture Gwen.

Diana tried to stop them, but was pulled aside by Hippolyta and her men.

Yet, facing the encirclement, Gwen did not panic.

The young girl waved her hand to swat away the leading warrior, then wove through the crowd with ease, even arching a brow at Antiope: "I'm afraid that won't work, my lady."

"You!" Provoked, Antiope was about to fly into a rage.

But at this moment, Gwen waved at Diana to say goodbye: "Alright, no more playing. Goodbye, Diana~ Thanks for the hospitality. I hope we have a chance to meet again."

Hearing this, everyone looked suspicious.

Surrounded like this, how did she expect to leave?

"Gwen..." Diana was also stunned.

Just as everyone was confused.

Gwen blinked her azure eyes, and her body rapidly sank, merging into her own shadow.

"This..."

The Amazon warriors watched, dumbfounded.

To be able to escape through a shadow—could this girl really be a child of the gods?

Hippolyta dismounted, stepped forward, and crouched down, staring solemnly at the spot where Gwen had vanished: "Shadows... could this be related to Narcissus? I hope it's not a plot by Ares..."

(PS: Narcissus, the flower god in ancient Greek mythology associated with shadows, was born handsome and narcissistic; he fell in love with his own reflection in the water, jumped in, drowned, and turned into a narcissus flower.)

"We cannot pin our hopes on prayer, Hippolyta."

Antiope said sternly: "If Ares has truly found Themyscira, it will be a catastrophic disaster for us."

Hippolyta’s gaze faltered; she looked up and asked: "What are you trying to say?"

"We should strike first, send our strongest warriors out to investigate if there are any signs of Ares's activity."

Antiope’s gaze swept over the Amazon warriors and finally landed on Diana: "This is also Diana’s chance to make up for her mistake. She is the best among us; she defeated me in the trials."

"Me...?" Diana pointed at herself, slightly dazed.

But she was bold by nature, and thinking of the safety of Themyscira, she quickly volunteered: "If it concerns Ares, I am willing!"

"No!"

Hippolyta stood up and firmly denied it: "Diana is different from us. She is special. As Queen, I will not allow any harm to come to her!"

·· ·Seeking flowers·· ·······

"It is precisely because Diana is special that only she can deal with Ares." Antiope countered: "This is her destiny; you should not stop her!"

"She is my daughter!" Hippolyta retorted, "Ares's potential plot is only a guess; you cannot send her out because of that."

The two argued endlessly, leaving Diana feeling at a loss...

Fortunately, at this moment, a warrior responsible for observing the sea suddenly shouted: "That iron ship has stopped!"

Hearing this, the two stopped arguing and led everyone to the cliff edge to look.

"It's that girl from before!"

The Amazons had excellent eyesight; Hippolyta spotted Gwen at the bow of the ship.

Antiope glared at Diana: "See? She really is in league with those people!"

Diana pouted and muttered: "I told you, Gwen’s boyfriend is on that ship, of course she had to go over..."

On the other side, on the warship.

Gwen jumped out from a shadow and saw Ye Li still lying leisurely on a chair. She couldn't help but feel both angry and amused: "Didn't you say Gnarrk and Penny were lost? How are you still so relaxed?"

"Don't be anxious. Haste makes waste... er, no... being anxious won't help."

Ye Li naturally sensed Gwen’s arrival and rose from the lounge chair.

"They likely fell into other time nodes. To find them, I have to use the Web of Destiny to search the entire River of Time. This isn't something that can be done in a moment." ### CHAPTER 855
