Chapter 321: Borrowing a Knife to Kill, the Warship Sinks

~10 min read 1,858 words

"So, it's going to take some time..."

Gwen had a sudden inspiration. She ran to the side of the ship and pointed toward Themyscira: "Then why don't we land on the island first? I just made a new friend there; you can go over and clear up the misunderstanding with her people."

"Misunderstanding?"

Ye Li walked over, stood beside her, and let the sea breeze blow. He took a piece of fried fish he’d grabbed from a plate and stuffed it into her mouth: "What misunderstanding?"

"Mmph... not tasty."

Gwen’s mouth was stuffed full. After chewing a few times, she briefly recounted her experience on Themyscira to Ye Li.

"Oh? They bullied you?"

"133"

After listening, the look in Ye Li’s eyes as he gazed at Themyscira became displeased.

"No, no!"

The girl wiped her smooth pink lips and said hurriedly: "Diana is very kind, and her people just misunderstood. We just need to explain it."

[Diana? Is that Wonder Woman... I suppose I should land on the island and see.]

Thinking this, Ye Li looked at the Amazonian attire Gwen was wearing, gently stroked her smooth, fair abdomen, and laughed: "This outfit of yours has a unique charm."

"Why~" Gwen gave a coquettish pout and lightly swatted his hand away, "Haven't you touched enough already? Let's handle the business first."

"Right."

She said, looking at the surrounding navy soldiers, and asked suspiciously: "What's going on with these German soldiers and this warship?"

"Just picked them up on the way."

"They're bringing the ship over again!"

Seeing the warship about to dock, the female warriors hurriedly raised their bows and arrows again.

"I knew that person was a spy!"

Antiope said angrily to Diana: "Diana, look, what excuse do you have left? She said she was leaving just now, and now she’s bringing these people over. If she isn't a spy leading the way, what is she?"

"This... maybe she’s bringing people to explain..." Diana wasn't so sure this time.

After all, she had only just met Gwen.

Although Gwen had been very friendly, Diana wasn't a fool; she couldn't be without any precautions.

Seeing her apprentice wavering, Antiope ordered the archers: "Fire! Don't let them get close!"

"Wait!" Diana wanted to say something else, but it was too late.

The archers received the order and immediately released their fully drawn bowstrings, sending arrows flying out—

A sky full of arrows covered the area like a giant net, shrouding the coastline. ### CHAPTER 856

Ye Li had sensed it in advance. Under his mental control, he made the navy soldiers form human shields to block the front.

*Pfft... pfft...*

The sound of arrows piercing bodies rang out one after another, and the soldiers fell down without any resistance.

Blood flowed like a river on the deck. Gwen stared, stunned, and covered her mouth: "They are..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm controlling it."

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Ye Li’s eyes: "They tried to attack me earlier, it's time to deal with them now."

This was why he had approached with the warship instead of teleporting directly with Gwen.

Letting the Amazons help him kill people—how fun~

And this move of Ye Li’s, borrowing a knife to kill, shocked the Amazons on the cliff.

"What brave warriors, to so loyally block the arrows for their leader!"

Antiope was shaken, feeling immense admiration for the navy's spirit...

Hippolyta also nodded: "Enemies with terrifying willpower, though their defensive methods seem lacking..."

"What enemies! They haven't even done anything yet!"

Seeing so many corpses fall on the ship in an instant, Diana said, unable to bear it: "You are being too rash. You should have waited for them to send a message."

"We Amazons cannot be that soft, Diana."

Antiope lectured her: "They were too close. We had to attack at this distance, otherwise, it might have been our own people who died!"

"This..." Diana wanted to argue, but couldn't find a reason.

She could never have imagined that all of this was intentional on Ye Li’s part.

*Ka—!*

Just then, a dull sound of metal twisting rang out from the sea.

Hippolyta and the others immediately looked closely and discovered that the iron ship was starting to sink to the bottom of the sea, gradually disappearing from their sight.

!!?

What is going on here?!

Since when did our arrows have such power?

Everyone was confused, unable to understand the situation.

"No—! Gwen!"

Only Diana shouted anxiously, wanting to jump off the cliff again to save people in the sea.

But just as she took a step, a voice behind her made her stop in her tracks.

"I'm right here. What's wrong, Diana?"

Diana immediately turned around and saw Gwen looking at her with a smile... ### CHAPTER 857

"Gwen!"

Diana called out happily and hurriedly stepped forward, touching Gwen here and there to check on her: "Are you okay? You scared me to death just now."

"Aiya, stop poking me."

Gwen blushed and swatted her hands away, glancing at Ye Li, who was standing by, looking composed, and said: "My boyfriend is still watching..."

"So this is a boyfriend..."

Diana whispered beside Gwen, her amber eyes curiously sizing up Ye Li.

She had never seen a man before and didn't understand what a boyfriend was, only feeling... although Ye Li was quite handsome, he was different from the pretty girls on the island, giving off a strange feeling...

The princess of Themyscira did not know that this feeling was actually the perception a girl has only for the opposite sex.

"And who are you?!"

At this moment, Queen Hippolyta and the instructor Antiope led the Amazon warriors to surround Ye Li and Gwen, their dense spears surrounding them completely.

Seeing this, Gwen didn't look panicked at all. She crossed her arms and smiled lightly at Hippolyta: "Your Majesty, you should know that this won't work on us, right? You'd be better off putting down your weapons and talking properly."

As she spoke, she playfully raised an arm and draped it over Ye Li’s shoulder: "Otherwise, I’m not sure... what this young man beside me might do~"

Ye Li cooperated with her posturing, raised his hand, and made a gripping motion. All the Amazons' weapons flew out of their hands, twisted and tangled in the air, and were crushed into a ball of scrap metal.

"You’ve seen the gap in strength. If I want to, I can deal with you at any time.

Themyscira has been able to last until now; you should know how to respect the strong."

The Amazons looked at each other. Some looked indignant, others wary. However, for the time being, no one dared to bristle at Ye Li and Gwen again.

Only with a hard fist does one have the right to speak.

This is an eternal truth.

Hippolyta hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward, bowed with her hand on her chest, and performed a guest-welcoming ritual to Ye Li: "May I ask who you are, why you have come to Themyscira, and what your purpose is?"

"Don't overthink it."

Ye Li wrapped his arm around Gwen’s slender waist and laughed: "My partner fell onto your island, I’m just here to find her."

"Is that all..."

Hippolyta’s eyes flickered, and she asked another question: "Are you gods?"

Antiope couldn't hold back anymore and asked urgently: "What is your relationship with the God of War, Ares!"

"I say... you have a lot of questions."

Ye Li was a bit annoyed, but considering Diana had taken care of Gwen, he said: "Strictly speaking... I am indeed a god, but I have nothing to do with your Olympian pantheon."

He was a dignified Dimensional Demon God; how could a minor god like Ares compare?

Diana looked surprised, scanning Ye Li from head to toe: "So you are the legendary god. No wonder you feel different..."

"Maybe different from what you imagine."

Ye Li waved his hand, and the sky seemed to tear open, revealing a vast, purple-gold cosmos.

He had no more reservations about connecting to the Weaver Dimension now; after all, no matter how powerful the Living Tribunal was, it couldn't reach into the DC Universe.

As for why he could still connect to the Weaver Dimension in DC, it was because the Weaver Dimension had long since become his inner universe.

The divine kingdom shrouding the sky over Themyscira radiated powerful pressure, weighing down on everyone below.

Facing such awe-inspiring divine might, the Amazon women dispelled the last of their doubts, their eyes turning to complete reverence as they looked at Ye Li.

"Respected Heavenly God..."

Hippolyta spoke with difficulty, apologizing: "I apologize for the previous offense. The orders were all given by me. Please do not vent your anger on Themyscira. I am willing to pay with my life for your brave warriors..."

She thought Ye Li was displaying such power to avenge the navy soldiers who had died earlier. Clearly, the Queen hadn't quite turned her thoughts around... If Ye Li had such power, why would he need those navy soldiers to block arrows for him...

"Brave warriors?"

Ye Li shook his head and sneered: "They were just guys who didn't know their own limits. Come to think of it, they also had some connection to the God of War, Ares, that you speak of..."

"Ares!"

Hearing this name, Queen Hippolyta didn't care to ask about the navy soldiers anymore and hurriedly asked him: "Do those people have any connection to Ares?"

"Aiya... I'm not in a very good mood right now."

Ye Li put away the phantom of the divine kingdom in the sky and naturally placed his hand on Diana’s bare shoulder, then continued in a very natural tone: "Even if I knew news about the God of War, Ares, so what? Why should I tell you? I’ve already been very tolerant by answering so many of your questions just now."

Seeing him wrap his arm around Diana without any sense of boundaries, Gwen was speechless and pouted, muttering: "Big pervert, so thick-skinned..."

Hippolyta’s eyes twitched... What did this mean? Was he asking her to offer her daughter as an apology?

As for Diana herself, she didn't have much of a reaction.

The girl just looked at the hand on her shoulder, stared for a few seconds, then turned to look at Ye Li, asking with pure eyes: "What are you doing?"

[Yo~ Wonder Woman at this stage is quite cute...]

Ye Li felt a bit playful and teased her: "My hand is tired, I'm borrowing your shoulder to rest for a while."

"Hand is tired?"

Diana still looked confused... Do gods get tired so easily?

However, she didn't dislike the feeling of being in contact with Ye Li, so she didn't swat his hand away.

It’s just... why does Gwen look so unhappy? The Princess thought to herself.

Hippolyta, as a mother, finally couldn't watch anymore. She stepped forward quickly, took Ye Li’s hand, removed it from her daughter’s shoulder, and then kissed the back of his hand to show respect and that she meant no offense. ### CHAPTER 858
