Chapter 285: Wish power? Lie power? (First update, seeking subscriptions)

Five minutes later, a black off-road vehicle appeared in sight, guarded by several heavy-firepower tanks.

"Cough, cough—cough, cough, cough—"

In the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, Maxwell Lord covered his mouth and coughed violently with a sickly face, but his eyes were extremely excited!

He succeeded, he was about to succeed!

Although he didn't get the oil from the chieftain this time, he got all the armed forces of the chieftain. This force is enough to ensure his safety.

Next, he just needs to follow the plan to find those oil tycoons and induce them to make wishes to him—

Money, status, power, influence—everything he wants will be within his reach!

"Hmm?"

Maxwell Lord exclaimed in surprise, looking in disbelief at a woman running toward them with long legs on the highway ahead.

The speed at which this woman was running was abnormal, and her expression was also a bit wrong. There was no panic or madness at the prospect of colliding with the car; instead, there was a coldness and excitement of being about to catch prey.

"Kill her."

Maxwell Lord gave the order to the captain of the armed forces driving the car without hesitation.

The effect of 100% obedience made the captain of the armed forces directly pick up the walkie-talkie to notify the heavy-firepower tanks beside him.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out, and bullets flew toward Barbara Minerva, who was running.

In Barbara Minerva's eyes, the speed of the bullets seemed to have been slowed down countless times. She just tilted her head, and the bullets missed.

Immediately after, she used force in her calves and jumped up.

"Bang!"

Jumping high, she landed on a heavy-firepower tank. The huge downward impact caused the heavy-firepower tank to sink instantly.

A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the heavy-firepower tank was overturned directly in the fire of the explosion.

Barbara Minerva was thrown high by the force of the explosion. When she landed, the off-road vehicle and other heavy-firepower tanks had already passed her.

"Enjoy it, babies!"

Barbara Minerva squinted her eyes and looked proudly at the panicked and shocked faces of the soldiers on the heavy-firepower tanks ahead, and chased after them with a swoosh.

On the flat highway, two heavy-firepower tanks drove side by side, blocking the road.

"Da, da, da—da, da, da—"

Two heavy machine guns began to fire crazily at Barbara Minerva.

The powerful firepower coverage was like a dense net, completely blocking all paths and directions for evasion. Dense bullets flew toward Barbara Minerva like raindrops.

Barbara Minerva, whose eyes had been fascinated by power, was not afraid at all, but even more excited.

Her running speed, which was already fast, was now a few points faster. She changed direction and ran off the highway, soon catching up with one of the tanks, running parallel to it, and gradually closing the distance.

Madness flashed in her eyes. She jumped up with force, and her shoulder slammed hard into the tank.

"Bang!"

The heavy tank moved sideways directly and slammed heavily into the other tank. The two colliding tanks rolled off the highway under the powerful impact and were scrapped.

"Thump!"

On the off-road vehicle, Maxwell Lord, who was about to look back to check the situation, suddenly heard a sound from the roof of the car, and then with a bang, the car door was pulled off.

Barbara Minerva grabbed the roof of the car, threw the pulled-off door away, and showed a wicked smile at the panicked Maxwell Lord.

"Quick, shoot, shoot!" Maxwell Lord shouted at the driver in a panic.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The driver's gun had just been taken out when Maxwell Lord had already been grabbed by Barbara Minerva and thrown out.

At the same time, she kicked the car with her body leaning back.

After rolling a few times, the car soon flipped sideways and fell into the desert.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Wish Power (Maxwell Lord)"

Above the clouds, Su Quan, who had watched the whole process, lifted the corners of his mouth slightly.

Barbara Minerva's performance was much stronger than Dai Anna's performance in this segment in the movie.

Of course, Dai Anna in the movie performed so poorly because her power was fading, but how should I put it—I can understand it because the logic is correct, but it's hard for me to accept.

This is Wonder Woman!

A few mortals, a few bullets, a few cars—made Dai Anna, who had annihilated the God of War Ares, barely survive, and if it weren't for the 'resurrected' Steve Trevor, she might even have died here—

This is a bit hard to accept.

What's even harder to accept is that after obtaining the Wish Power, Su Quan discovered that this power, or the creator of the Huang Shuijing Wish Stone, the God of Lies, has the true identity of the Duke of Deception.

Who is the Duke of Deception?

This guy is the God of Lies, but he is also the son of the God of War, Ares!

The Duke of Deception in the comics is also one of Wonder Woman's villains, having joined an informal organization called 【Children of Ares】.

The name of this organization tells you what's going on; the members are all children of Ares.

The Duke of Deception is proficient in illusions and spells of magnification and reduction, often using illusions to lure humans into conflicts, crimes, and wars!

He doesn't have many scenes, and most of the time he acts as a background character.

But in this world, the strength or status of the Duke of Deception is obviously higher, and the Huang Shuijing Wish Stone is the best example.

But—

Dai Anna in the movie destroyed the God of War Ares, her strength became stronger, and then she was deprived of her power by Ares's son without him even appearing—it's really quite absurd.

But then again, although the Huang Shuijing Wish Stone was created by the God of Lies, the Duke of Deception, it is not entirely his power.

There are many universal elements in this world. The essence of the Huang Shuijing Wish Stone is the same as the Lasso of Truth. The power of the Lasso of Truth is truth, while the power of the Huang Shuijing Wish Stone should be lies.

Because before making a wish, the wisher doesn't know at all that the condition for the wish to succeed is actually an exchange.

The so-called wish is just a beautiful lie! ===== CHAPTER 287 =====
