Chapter 285

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

"Cough, cough—cough, cough, cough—"

In the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, Maxwell Lord covered his mouth and coughed violently, his face pale, 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 of the chieftain's armed forces. This force was enough to ensure his safety.

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

Money, status, power, influence—everything he wanted would be within his reach!

"Hmm?"

Maxwell Lord exclaimed in surprise, looking in disbelief at a woman running quickly towards them on the road ahead with her long legs.

The woman's running speed was abnormal, and her expression was also wrong. There was no panic or madness of someone about to collide with a car; instead, there was a coldness and excitement of someone about to catch prey.

"Kill her."

Maxwell Lord issued 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 pick up the walkie-talkie directly to notify the heavy-firepower tanks beside him.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out, and bullets flew towards the running Barbara Minerva.

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 flipped over 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 yourselves, babies!"

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

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

"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, impenetrable net that completely blocked all paths and directions for evasion, and dense bullets flew towards Barbara Minerva like raindrops.

Barbara Minerva, who had already been fascinated by power, was not afraid, but even more excited.

Her already fast running speed was now even faster. She changed direction and ran off the road, soon catching up to one of the tanks, running parallel to it and gradually closing the distance.

Madness flashed in her eyes. She jumped 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 road under the powerful impact and were scrapped, lying upside down.

"Thump!"

On the off-road vehicle, Maxwell Lord, who was about to turn back to check the situation, suddenly heard a sound from the roof of the car, and then with a 'clatter', the car door was actually pulled off by someone.

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

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Just as the driver took out his gun, Maxwell Lord had already been grabbed by Barbara Minerva and thrown out.

At the same time, she leaned her body back and kicked the car.

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

"Ding!"

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

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

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

Of course, Diana 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 Diana, who had annihilated the God of War Ares, have a narrow escape. 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 the true identity of the creator of this power, or the Yellow Crystal Wish Stone, the God of Lies, is 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 induce humans to engage in conflict, crime, and war!

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

But in this world, the Duke of Deception's strength or status is clearly higher, and the Yellow Crystal Wish Stone is the best example.

But—

In the movie, Diana 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.

However, having said that, although the Yellow Crystal 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 Yellow Crystal Wish Stone is the same as the Lasso of Truth. The power of the Lasso of Truth is truth, while the power of the Yellow Crystal Wish Stone should be lies.

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

The so-called wish is just a beautiful lie!
