Chapter 121: Invaders of Themyscira! (Fourth update, please subscribe!)

~6 min read 1,034 words

On the shore, Su Quan, completely unscathed, watched the incredulous gazes fixed upon him, the corners of his mouth slowly curling upward.

Diana’s strike just now shouldn't have been as strong as the one in the movie that finally defeated the God of War, Ares!

After all, by that time, Diana was fully equipped with divine gear and had a much more proficient grasp of divine power. In particular, before that final strike, she had absorbed the lightning transformed from Ares’s divine power, whereas the lightning she had just absorbed was merely ordinary lightning drawn down by the power of Odin; the two were not in the same league!

The divine power Diana had just released had, unsurprisingly, merged with the power of Odin. The name of the ability had also changed, shifting from the single-pointed "Power of Odin" to the unified concept of "Divine Power," with its potency and functionality improved to a certain extent!

Hippolyta sighed inwardly and walked toward Diana and Su Quan.

"Mother."

Diana looked at her with burning eyes.

Hippolyta stroked Diana’s cheek lovingly: "Diana, I will tell you, but I hope you understand that I only wanted to protect you!"

Diana looked at her mother, puzzled. Does my origin have anything to do with my safety?

Hippolyta shook her head gently, her gaze deep as she looked at Su Quan.

"You—"

Just as Hippolyta was about to speak, Su Quan made a shushing gesture with his finger, then pointed thoughtfully toward the distant sky.

"Someone is coming."

No sooner had he spoken than Hippolyta and Diana heard a rumbling sound.

Immediately after, an old-fashioned airplane trailing thick smoke passed through the energy barrier and plummeted straight into the sea.

Diana was stunned for a moment, then turned, preparing to head into the sea and swim toward the direction of the crash to see what was happening.

Before she could even turn around, Diana was frozen in place by an invisible force.

"What are you doing?"

Diana questioned Su Quan, confused. After all, he was the only one capable of controlling her so strangely.

"If you go into the sea, you'll really be going into the sea," Su Quan replied indifferently.

This sentence sounded like nonsense at first glance, but in reality, it had a deeper meaning.

Inside the crashed plane was a pilot named Steve Trevor.

Both were plane crashes, both were during a world war, and both were named Steve, but this guy wasn't as popular as the Captain next door!

The reason was simple: this guy turned Diana from a goddess into a woman!

"Rumble—rumble—"

Just as Diana was looking puzzled, not understanding what Su Quan meant, a sound even more thunderous than before erupted.

This time it wasn't from the sky, but from the sea.

On the rippling blue surface, several small boats filled with soldiers were escorting a warship, speeding toward the shore.

"It seems the barrier Zeus left for you isn't all that great; it's so easy for people to get in," Su Quan teased Hippolyta.

Hippolyta’s expression was grave; she didn't retort, but instead raised her voice to give an order.

"Archers, ready!"

With a series of *swish* sounds, the Amazon warriors drew their bows and notched arrows in perfect unison.

"Fire!"

Hippolyta shouted. The scene of ten thousand arrows being fired simultaneously appeared once more, only this time the target had changed from Su Quan to the German soldiers who had pursued Steve Trevor.

There was no need to elaborate on the archery skills of the Amazon warriors; there was only one word: accurate!

The soldiers on the small boats screamed one after another; some were used as human shields by their companions, others fell into the water after being struck. In an instant, they were in total chaos.

However, the German army of this era was quite strong. After a brief panic, the soldiers on the boats quickly began to react.

Is a bow and arrow faster, or is a gun faster?

Does a bow and arrow have a longer Detection Range, or does a gun?

Is a bow and arrow more powerful, or is a gun?

The result was obvious.

As the dense sound of gunfire rang out, Amazon warriors began to be hit and fall to the ground.

Hippolyta grabbed a sword and shouted, "Prepare to charge!"

The German boats were almost at the shore.

"Charge, charge, charge! That's all you know how to do!"

Su Quan reached out and pulled Hippolyta’s sword down, scolding her bluntly: "How is charging like this any different from mindlessly throwing your lives away?"

Su Quan’s reprimand left Hippolyta at a loss. She was the Queen of Themyscira, the leader of the Amazons; when had she ever been scolded like this?

Besides, I have led my people through countless battles, large and small; by what right do you criticize my command?

Hippolyta was about to retort, but Su Quan had already turned to look at Diana.

"You go. Give them a wave of divine power shock!"

"Okay!"

Diana didn't even think; she rushed out. She was agile and fast, and the bracers on her arms seemed to have eyes, precisely deflecting the bullets fired at her.

Immediately after, Diana raised her arms and slammed them together in a cross.

"Boom!"

A powerful divine shockwave instantly blasted outward.

The German soldiers who had just landed had never seen this kind of attack; they were almost all knocked down in a single encounter.

The dense, crackling gunfire suddenly went quiet, with only a few sporadic sounds persisting intermittently. A few seconds later, those were silenced by the arrows of the Amazon warriors.

Looking at the corpses of the enemies strewn across the shore, and then at the casualties of her own people, Hippolyta fell silent.

"The times have changed; your way of war is no longer the mainstream of the era!"

Su Quan said indifferently, then gave a light tug toward the warship in the distance that seemed to be trying to turn around and flee.

The warship was lifted directly out of the sea, flying into the air, and then, with a loud *clatter*, it landed on the sandy beach. *** **CHAPTER 243**
