Chapter 869: Dai Anna awakens! The potential of the God of War!

The sword light was cold, slashing down with overwhelming power!

But the eyes under Ares's helmet showed contempt; the war blade in his left hand vanished, and his left palm, wrapped in divine power, met the sword blade without fear!

The moment his palm touched the tip of the sword, the "God-Killing Weapon" in her hand immediately crumbled like dry wood, turning into black ash and drifting away in the blink of an eye!

Dai Anna landed on a nearby piece of floating broken building, looked at the remaining hilt in her hand, then at the unscathed Ares, her eyes filled with disbelief, "How can this be! The God-Killing Weapon!"

"My dear child, that is not the God-Killing Weapon..."

"Hoo~"

Blowing gently on the remaining white smoke in his palm, Ares entered his classic villain explanation mode, glancing sideways at Dai Anna, calmly answering for her: "You are. Only a god can kill another god. Zeus left the child he had with the Amazon Queen as a weapon to deal with me."

"Zeus's child..." Dai Anna thought of how Ye Li had said the same thing earlier, and couldn't help but believe this statement a little more.

Could it be... that she was indeed the true God-Killing Weapon?

Dai Anna didn't fully believe it, so she whipped out a golden rope from her waist with her right hand, throwing it out to bind him, and asked sternly: "I command you to tell me the truth!"

This was the "Lasso of Truth," a supreme treasure of Themyscira; those trapped by the lasso could not help but tell the truth. Ares also knew the effect of this lasso, but he did not dodge, allowing the golden rope to wrap around him, and answered calmly: "This is the truth."

"I am not the God of War, Dai Anna; I am the God of Truth."

"Humans snatched this world from our hands, destroying it day by day, and I, the only god who saw through this, was powerless to stop them. For so many years, I have been fighting alone."

"I whispered in their ears, bringing them inspiration, inventing poisons and weapons, but I never forced them to use them; they were the ones who started the wars."

"All I did was plan an armistice agreement they would never follow, letting them head toward self-destru..."

"Alright, stop spouting nonsense."

Suddenly, accompanied by a strange mist, Ye Li appeared instantly beside Dai Anna, looking at Ares with eyes that saw through everything, "You claim you aren't the God of War? Ridiculous. Without the authority of the God of War, you would have died at the hands of Darkseid long ago."

In just a few short sentences, Ares, who had been calm, suddenly lost his composure, staring at Ye Li with wide eyes, "How do you know... who on earth are you!"

Ye Li provocatively raised his left hand, hooked his arm around Dai Anna's shoulder, and chuckled, "I'm your sister's man, of course."

"You will regret your attitude..." Anger welled up in Ares's eyes. He had no feelings for Dai Anna as a sister, of course, but Ye Li's heartfelt contempt was truly infuriating.

As soon as he finished speaking, blinding blue-white divine thunder "crackled" and condensed in his left palm, instantly turning into a lightning spear. Ares raised the lightning spear and thrust it fiercely at Ye Li's chest; in his eyes, Ye Li was the trouble that needed to be solved first.

This move was also Ares's trump card, an embodiment of the lightning authority he inherited from Zeus, the Father of Gods. Its power was terrifying, with the divine thunder connecting to countless tiny lightning bolts, crazily tearing through the void!

"Li!! Dodge quickly—!"

The Guardian Bracelets suddenly bloomed with golden divine radiance brighter than the lightning. Seeing that Ye Li was about to be hurt, Dai Anna finally erupted with the true power capable of slaying gods, her whole body wrapped in holy radiance, stepping sideways quickly and crossing her arms to block in front of him!

At this moment, time seemed to slow down; countless tiny lightning bolts hit the golden radiance and instantly shattered and dissipated, unable to break through even a fraction!

Ares got exactly what he asked for, successfully awakening Dai Anna, this 'God-Killing Weapon,' and his expression shifted from his previous composure to one of slight panic.

"Yee-ha—!!" Dai Anna swung her crossed arms forward with force, and a massive shockwave exploded, sweeping away everything in front of her!

Affected by this impact, the floating ruins within hundreds of meters fell toward the ground like a meteor shower, plowing through the earth and leaving behind craters like the surface of the moon.

Ares, who bore the brunt of it, looked as if he had been rammed by a starship; in the blink of an eye, he was blasted thousands of meters away, his body scraping against the street, sending countless bricks and stones flying, creating a deep trench that stretched for several streets...

Feeling the slight increase in power in his divine body, Ye Li curled his lips into a smile. Although the increase wasn't huge, completing this mission didn't take much effort, and every little bit helps. At his current level of existence, every bit of improvement counts.

Besides, the system's reward was just an appetizer; the divine authority on Ares was the real thing he wanted to get his hands on this trip...

Don't look at how pathetic Ares is now, being beaten by his newly awakened sister with no power to fight back, and seemingly needing effort just to blow up a city. During the ancient war, this Olympian God of War was the main force that repelled the "Dark Monarch" Darkseid.

And Darkseid's status in the DC Universe is equivalent to Thanos in the Marvel Universe, and his strength is far greater than that of a standard Thanos.

To be able to repel this overlord, Ares relied on the boost brought by the "War Divinity." The scale of the ancient war was unprecedentedly vast, so as the God of War, Ares's strength was elevated to an unprecedented level.

This shows the potential of the War Divinity.

Since Ye Li had encountered it, he naturally wouldn't let it go. ===== CHAPTER 874 =====
