Chapter 320: Return to Heaven after Despair
Diana was knocked down by Ares again and again, and stood up again and again.
Scars were already starting to appear on her body.
The death of Antiope was her motivation to keep fighting.
Under Leon's illusion suggestion.
At this time, Diana had forgotten that she had a companion named Leon who had not appeared for a long time.
All she had in her heart was the belief in protecting humanity and the endless sadness of losing her aunt.
"what!!"
Another sword chopped down.
Ares dodged it again with ease.
Diana felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart and began to doubt whether she could really defeat Ares.
At this moment the earth suddenly began to shake.
The continuous sound of horse hooves swept in like a storm.
Queen Hippolyta arrives with her army.
"Prepare!"
The queen leaped out from behind the horizontal line of the hillside, sword raised high, pointing diagonally toward the sky.
"emission!!"
At a command, a dense rain of arrows rose into the air behind Hippolyta, accurately covering the area around Ares.
"Mother!"
When Diana saw the reinforcements arriving, a hint of joy appeared on her sad face.
But that look of joy was immediately replaced by panic.
"No, everyone back off, get out of here, don't get close to Ares!"
She distanced herself from Ares, raised her hands and shouted loudly.
But it's too late.
Ares raised his right hand towards the sky, and the arrows in the sky suddenly stopped as if the pause button was pressed.
He waved his hand again.
The arrows immediately changed direction and shot back at the Amazon army.
A dense rain of arrows fell mercilessly.
The female warriors were shot by arrows one after another and fell off their horses.
Hippolyta used her sword to pierce and chop at the falling arrows.
She tightened the reins, and her pupils trembled when she saw Ares.
"Ares, it's really you!"
Queen Hippolyta was only briefly shocked.
She didn't hesitate in her movements.
When the worst situation like now comes.
What she needs to do is to protect her daughter!
"Diana, get out of here!"
Queen Hippolyta rode her horse towards Ares, "Everyone else, charge with me!"
"No, mother, stop!" Diana threw away her sword and shield, trying to stop her mother.
But Ares began to grit his teeth the first time he saw Hippolyta.
"Hippolyta, we meet again after all these years!"
He was no longer calm, and rushed to Hippolyta like a madman, grabbed the queen by the neck, and lifted her off the horse.
"You didn't expect that I would come back and land on Paradise Island, right?"
Ares held Hippolyta up and looked at Diana.
"Diana, if you are willing to join forces with me now, I can let your mother go."
"I...I..." Diana was at a loss.
There was no way she was joining forces with a war god who wanted to exterminate humanity.
But it was impossible to watch my mother die.
She fell into deep entanglement and contradiction, and her heart was full of confusion.
However, she always opposes her search for Ares' mother.
At this moment, he suddenly struggled and made a hoarse sound.
"Go... Diana, go, leave here... become who you... think you are, and then... kill... Ares!"
Diana stared at her mother in a daze.
Ares's face turned gloomy.
"After all these years, you still don't understand that humanity cannot be saved, Hippolyta."
"Since you can't figure it out, then go and sleep with Zeus!"
Ares used his knuckles to break Hippolyta's neck with a crisp sound of bone cracking.
He threw the queen's body aside and waved his hand violently at the remaining Amazon army.
The terrifying divine power exploded.
The ground in front of Ares rose up and rolled back like a blanket, covering the sky and pressing down on the Amazon warrior.
Diana, whose eyes were empty due to her mother's death, felt her heart tighten. She ignored her sadness and rushed to the army to save people.
However, Ares swung his other hand at her, and the power of God knocked her down on the spot.
Even Diana also used her divine power to get up quickly.
But once again it was too late.
All the warriors were buried deep under the earth.
Amazon, no one survived.
thump.
Diana fell to the ground in despair.
A few dozen minutes ago.
She was still an innocent girl preparing to carry her mother on her back and head to the human world.
But now, she has lost all her relatives and friends.
She looked down at her muddy palms.
There was only endless sadness and despair in his eyes, as well as anger that was burning with fuel from these sadness and despair.
The flames of anger flickered and grew.
Finally it turned into a raging fire.
When Diana raised her head again, her cold face was filled with anger and ferocity.
"Ares..."
She stood up slowly.
The divine power in his body poured out like rivers converging into the sea.
The clear sky suddenly became cloudy, the sea breeze howled, and the dirt and debris on the cliff floated upwards as if gravity was reversed.
Ares looked at Diana who was walking slowly towards him and his expression suddenly changed.
He realized that things seemed to be beyond his control.
But she didn't lose any momentum: "Diana, this is what happens when you go against me. Now, you have to follow in your mother's footsteps!"
Ares raised his hands.
There was suddenly lightning and thunder in the sky, and lightning fell from the sky and kept gathering in his hands.
At the same time, the warship that had sunk to the bottom of the sea was broken into pieces.
The steel flew from the bottom of the sea and was reorganized into a solid armor on Ares.
"You will die!!"
Ares no longer hoped to recruit the demigod before him.
He summoned thunder and struck Diana with great power.
However, Diana simply raised her arms and blocked them in front of her.
The lightning that seemed to be able to penetrate the world disappeared in an instant and all gathered on her arms.
Diana looked down at her arm. The tremendous energy attached to it could not cause any fluctuations in her heart.
"This is impossible!" On the contrary, Ares was so shocked that a trace of fear appeared in his heart.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He began to frantically use any force he could to attack Diana.
Sand and rocks are flying, iron is being smelted into swords, and the earth is hanging upside down.
Ares used all the means he could.
But all these methods were useless to Diana.
Her divine power is incredibly strong.
Any attack that reaches her will be eliminated by the invisible divine power.
She walked step by step towards Ares.
The lifeless eyes looked at Ares, and his arms clasped in front of him.
A huge burst of divine power, absorbed from the thunder of Ares.
The world seemed to be blank at this moment.
When Diana lowered her arms.
Ares disappeared.
The island in front of her... disappeared completely. Paradise Island was destroyed by her divine power, leaving only the area under her feet.
Diana stared blankly at the new cliff in front of her, then sat down on the ground, listening to the waves hitting the rocks below.
Ares died, revenge was achieved, and humanity was saved.
But she had nothing left.
Two lines of tears quietly slid down from Diana's empty eyes.
Snapped.
Suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder.
Diana looked back.
Leon's quiet face appeared before him.
The guy smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Good job, Diana. Congratulations on defeating Ares."
"Le...Leon?" Diana looked at Leon blankly.
Some things that she had previously subconsciously ignored reappeared in her mind
Is Leon okay?
It was a good thing he wasn't killed by Ares.
Diana did not question where Leon had gone, but felt relieved.
But Leon patted her head again.
"In fact, I saved all your family members, even Paradise Island."
"what?"
Diana followed Leon's finger and lowered her head in confusion.
The cliff in front of her that was destroyed by divine power turned into an intact island again.
Look back again.
Hippolyta, Antiope, and others.
Every face in her memory was looking at her with distressed eyes.
"Mother, mother, and Antiope, and everyone, you, you..."
Diana burst into tears: "That's great, you are all okay!"
