Chapter 128

"Boom!"

Ares, who had collapsed, left a long mark on the ground.

A few seconds later.

The one-armed Ares stood up unsteadily, his face pale, his eyes looking complexly at Diana, who didn't "take advantage of your illness to kill you."

"You have two kinds of divine power, one of which is the same as theirs. Is it because of that axe?"

Even though defeating Zeus and the gods had left him past his peak and his power greatly diminished, Ares didn't believe that Diana, who was only a demigod, could be stronger than him.

The only reason was the axe they each held!

What exactly was this axe, and why could it allow them to possess lightning divine power comparable to the gods?

Diana glanced at Stormbreaker, ignored Ares, and turned to walk toward Su Quan.

This disregard made Ares, who hadn't taken her seriously at all, very angry, and he directly controlled the wreckage in the distance to fly toward him rapidly.

As it flew, it changed.

In the blink of an eye, it reshaped into a sword.

"Snap!"

Ares, having completely unleashed his divine power, surged in size, grabbed the heavy sword with one hand, and his divine power turned into crackling lightning that wrapped around the blade. He seemed to turn into a cannonball, kicking up heavy sound waves and instantly catching up to Diana.

"Ding!"

A crisp clashing sound rang out; the heavy sword didn't hit Diana, but was directly shattered by another Stormbreaker that flew in from the side.

Ares had just turned around when Antiope kicked out, directly sending him stumbling back two steps.

Antiope quickly recalled Stormbreaker and pulled it forcefully downward at Ares.

"Boom!"

Lightning descended from the sky, striking Ares heavily.

This lightning divine power again!

Why!

Why could such divine power be so easily used by them!

Ares roared in anger and directly used his divine power to shake off the lightning!

"Boom!"

Someone in the Thor Corps in the distance raised their Stormbreaker and also took a shot at Ares.

Ares used his divine power to shake it off again.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning!

Ares felt stifled and directly used his divine power to form an energy shield.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Thor Corps did not show weakness, and bolts of lightning followed one after another.

A few seconds later, the energy shield shattered with a boom.

Ares gritted his teeth and retreated, vanishing with a "whoosh."

"He's here!"

Penthesilea was the first to discover Ares, who had teleported, and flew over quickly with her Stormbreaker, directly using a savage charge to knock him back into everyone's view.

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

Several bolts of lightning struck Ares almost at the same time.

One could only hear Ares scream in mid-air before being blasted onto the ground.

"Bang!"

The ground instantly caved in, and Ares's head bounced a few times on the ground and stopped moving!

The Thor Corps looked at each other, unable to help but whisper.

"He's not dead, is he?"

"Can't be, right? He's the God of War, Ares!"

"So what? We're Thors too. Being attacked by so many Thors together, even the God of War is useless!"

"You guys were too fast. I hadn't even had time to raise my Stormbreaker, and your lightning had already struck. If he's dead, I won't have a chance to fight him."

"Me too."

Good heavens, Su Quan was exclaiming "good heavens" in his heart!

They were actually complaining to each other because they had almost killed Ares?

The dignified God of War, Ares, was being treated too miserably!

Actually, the Thor Corps had originally been somewhat wary and respectful of the God of War, Ares; after all, his track record was genuinely fierce. It was just that—

From the moment he appeared, he hadn't gained any advantage. After spouting some mystical nonsense, he had been suppressed by Diana the whole time, and even had one of his arms severed.

The only highlight was probably that he destroyed the God-Killer sword.

Although the Thor Corps hadn't fought Ares, they sparred with Diana several times every day. Even if Diana used Stormbreaker, it wasn't easy for her to defeat more than two Thors at the same time.

Ares's performance had brought him down from his pedestal!

The Thor Corps was naturally eager to try, vying to fight him.

"He's not dead yet. Be careful with your attacks; the longer he lives, the longer you can play."

Su Quan gave a 'cruel' reminder, then curiously studied the divine power that had dropped when the God of War, Ares, was struck by the group lightning.

Ares's divine power merged into the divine power as usual. Judging from the amplification of the divine power, Ares's divine power was almost on par with Diana's; even if it were stronger, it wouldn't be by much.

But Ares's divine power had a special characteristic—the more war, the stronger the strength; the less war, the weaker the strength!

The characteristics of Ares's divine power were somewhat like the Ares in the New 52, becoming weak as human wars gradually decreased.

And after he died, Diana became the new God of War!

However, the old gods of the Justice League universe didn't have so-called divine offices or godhoods.

Therefore, the Diana in the movie didn't become the new God of War after defeating Ares; it was just that this battle allowed her divine power to further awaken, making her stronger!

Ares's divine power had both pros and cons, which could be seen from the changes in his strength.

In the ancient war when Darkseid invaded, there were three old gods who participated.

King of the Gods: Zeus.

God of War: Ares.

Goddess of the Hunt: Artemis.

The best performer on the field wasn't Zeus, nor was it Artemis, who blew up the spaceship with her bow and arrows, but Ares, whose strength had exploded due to the characteristics of his divine power!

In the subsequent War of the Gods, the wars Ares provoked allowed him to slaughter the gods and take down the King of the Gods, Zeus!

And after that, Ares's strength just went up and down, down, down, down, down!

The decrease in war caused his strength to decline rapidly!

To give an example that might not be accurate, the Ares of the ancient period was equivalent to Thor during the Stormbreaker period, who could hack and injure Thanos with one axe even while Thanos had all six Infinity Stones.

Then the current Ares was equivalent to the Thor who used Mjolnir when he first appeared in Thor 1!

The difference in strength between the two was quite obvious!

Come to think of it, Darkseid and Thanos were worthy of being "twin brothers"; their fate of invading Earth and being hacked by an axe was so synchronized!

Back to the point, the characteristics of Ares's divine power had only benefits and no drawbacks for Su Quan!

His cheat was destined to keep him from being far from war, so his strength would only increase, not decrease!

Even if there were no war and his strength weakened, it wouldn't affect the other divine powers of his divine power, let alone that divine power was just one of his many powers, which wouldn't affect his overall strength at all!
