A light smile hung on Ares' face as he raised his palm toward the stabbing God-Killer Sword.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"

The stabbing God-Killer Sword shattered inch by inch under Ares' palm and turned into ashes.

Diana stared blankly at the remaining hilt, somewhat incredulous: "This, this is a weapon for killing gods."

"It is not a weapon for killing gods, you—"

Ares just wanted to use words to disturb her mind and provoke Diana's stance, but saw that Diana had already woken up from the shock and directly used the glowing Lasso of Truth to bind him.

Diana pulled the Lasso of Truth with one hand and reached behind her with the other, summoning the Stormbreaker.

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

"Humans snatched this world from our hands, they are 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, whispering in their ears, bringing them inspiration, inventing poison and weapons. But I never forced them to use them; it was they themselves who started the war. All I did was plan an armistice agreement they would absolutely not abide by, leading them toward self-destruction."

"But these have never been enough, until you came."

Ares said, seducing her with the tone of an uncle taking you to see goldfish.

"If you can see things that the gods have never seen, then you will stand with me! When we unite, we can end all the pain, all the torture, and the destruction brought by humans."

"We can make this world return to the paradise it was before humans appeared, forever!"

Ares looked at Diana with a smile, and the divine power flashing in his hand had already let her see the changes in the world through the Lasso of Truth.

The world being destroyed bit by bit by humans, and the world regaining natural vitality after humans were gone.

He could feel Diana's hesitation and wavering!

"Come, join me, let us join hands to make the world return to the human-less—"

"Pfft!"

The late-arriving Stormbreaker interrupted Ares' seduction and hacked directly onto his shoulder with one axe blow!

The cycle of heaven is good!

In the ancient war many years ago, Ares, whose strength was at its peak, hacked and injured the posturing Darkseid with one axe blow. As time passed, the person posturing became him, and the person hacked and injured by the axe also became him!

"You talk too much nonsense!" Diana held the Stormbreaker and suddenly urged her divine power.

"Bang!"

The Stormbreaker erupted with powerful thunder power, directly blasting Ares, who had a look of astonishment and pain, away.

His seduction did indeed make Diana waver for a moment.

Not counting the accidental invasion of those humans before, Diana's understanding of humans was basically limited to some stories told by her mother, Hippolyta.

In these stories, the big villain was Ares, and humans were just seduced, so when Ares spoke of human nature, Diana was indeed somewhat wavering.

Is such humanity worth saving?

And then, she woke up.

Not to mention whether humanity is worth saving, the main purpose this time wasn't to save humanity anyway; they were just here to defeat Ares!

Saving humanity and defeating Ares are not opposing relationships; you can only choose one!

Looking at Ares, who was getting up hideously in the distance, Diana rushed up directly.

Ares stared angrily at Diana, who was approaching rapidly, and raised his arm to wave it forcefully at her.

In an instant, the fragments of surrounding car wrecks and airplane wrecks flew toward Diana like raindrops.

Diana swung the axe and released a bolt of thunder, instantly blasting the debris and wrecks in front of her into slag, and immediately following, she leaped high and slammed the Stormbreaker down toward Ares.

"Bang!"

Powerful energy impacted and scattered, and the ground cracked and wound like a spider web.

Ares, who had teleported to another position, urged his divine power, and some metal wrecks nearby instantly floated up, and immediately following, they changed rapidly and landed on his body.

Ares used his divine power to reshape these wrecks into a suit of armor.

"Bang—"

Diana rushed in front of Ares like an arrow off a string, and the Stormbreaker slashed down again.

"Plop!"

Ares, who had just put on the armor, had his arm cut off directly!

This was because he reacted quickly and took a step back, otherwise, it wouldn't have been his arm that was cut off.

The pain and anger of the severed arm made Ares shout loudly, and his remaining arm directly urged his divine power to turn into crackling thunder and blast toward Diana.

Diana held the axe with both hands in front of her.

"Zzzzt—zzzzt—"

The Stormbreaker hit by the thunder didn't look like it was at a disadvantage at all; instead, it also flashed with thunder.

The two bolts of thunder collided, crackling; the two divine powers stalemated, hard to distinguish who was stronger.

However, with Diana's loud roar, her own divine power erupted!

In an instant, the tide of divine power poured out.

The thunder of the Stormbreaker grew suddenly, directly blasting Ares' thunder away.

Ares was even blasted flying backward by the joint impact of the Power of Thunder and divine power. At the same time, the armor on his body shattered inch by inch under the impact and turned into ashes.

Just like the God-Killer Sword before!
