The Death Knell

With the starry sky at her feet and the green mountains and green waters above her head, Diana sighed as she walked on the inverted staircase in space. She even felt that the Azeroth ice cream specially prepared for her by Deathstroke was no longer sweet.

Now she gets a headache when she hears things related to her mother or Olympus. The key is that her mother always has an exaggerated respect for the gods on the mountain, as if she has been brainwashed.

It is true that they have been brainwashed. The Amazons have always lived in the closed environment of Paradise Island, and the education and propaganda they received were all about the glory and righteousness of the gods, and the responsibilities that everyone shouldered as the blades of the gods.

The channels for obtaining information are limited. If they don’t believe it, what else can they believe? God?

Before Diana became queen and built a base station for Paradise Island and popularized mobile phones for the sisters to open up channels of knowledge, most of the girls on the island didn't even know that God existed or that the earth was round.

Because their world is just a small island.

"I'm too lazy to guess what my mother is thinking. I only know that now I am still Wonder Woman, still protecting the best people among the greatest superhero group on earth."

Xiao Dai's expression and tone pretended to be relaxed, and he took a big bite of the ice cream, but he chewed it through gritted teeth, making his cheeks bulge.

Hearing Diana say that Zhenglian was good, Artemis just pursed her lips and blew out a little breath from her nostrils. It was obvious that she didn't agree with this, but she didn't express her opinion out of politeness.

Although the original cause of the bullying was indeed a misunderstanding, the culprit Batman never meant to apologize to her. He didn't seem to have the ability.

She is willing to go with Zheng Lian today just for the sake of Jason and Dai. Otherwise, she would definitely turn around and leave when she sees the other members of the Justice League. Well, except for Superman and The Flash, they are still pretty good. .

"Okay, you just have to know it yourself. Well, regarding Darkseid's daughter Greer, I'm sorry that I couldn't be of much help." The female warrior shook her head and pulled her thoughts back from the past. Talking about recent hot events.

A few days ago, in order to find the whereabouts of Darkseid and the Anti-Life Equation, Deathstroke wanted to find Greer. Diana took the initiative to ask Ying to negotiate with the African Amazon. In fact, she asked Artemis at that time.

But unfortunately, she is now a mercenary and has not been back to her hometown for a long time. After contacting the other sisters and asking about it, she found out that Greer had left long ago. It was around the time when Barbatos invaded the earth. No one was there. Know where she went and how she left.

After Xiao Dai and the female warrior exchanged some views on the matter on the phone, they believed that Greer had obviously returned to the real Darkseid and became everyone's enemy.

"We all have our own choices. Maybe Greer has some reasons." Diana bit her lip and said something she didn't quite believe, but she still defended the other sister: "It's like your tribe. , just like choosing to convert to the Egyptian goddess Isis after leaving Paradise Island, wouldn’t she be living a good life.”

"I don't believe in any gods now, I only believe in this." Artemis smiled and took out a few US dollar bills from her pocket, patted the papers on her belly with obvious muscle lines, and stuffed them again Back in his pocket: "What the gods didn't help me with, the green Mr. Franklin did, so I convert to him now, hehe."

Diana glared at her angrily and amusedly, but after observing that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered:

"Actually, I don't believe in the gods after I encountered the 'Newborn'. It's just that I believe in fairness and justice more than money... Please don't tell other sisters what you think. If you are too ahead of your time, you will be isolated.”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Besides, I usually play with Donna and Cassie. They obviously don't believe in God either, just like us."

The female warrior stuffed the remaining cone into her mouth, swallowed it almost wholeheartedly, and continued vaguely:

"The more you come into contact with today's human society, the more you will understand the hypocrisy of the gods. Not only are they not noble at all, they are even darker than most ordinary people, and they have no lower limit and are disgusting."

Of course, Donna didn't believe in gods anymore. She was a humanoid weapon that betrayed the Titans. She already knew what the gods were.

And Cassie is the apprentice of Artemis in front of her; it is Donna who usually plays with her and sends her to a human school; it was Xiao Dai who recommended her to join the Young Justice League. The girl is now no different from an ordinary human girl.

For an adolescent girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, she doesn't care about things like gods at all. She cares more about handsome movie stars or handsome superheroes. She looks at the stars at night and imagines what her Prince Charming will be like.

"Yes, but it is undeniable that the blood of Olympus flows in our bodies. Sometimes, it is difficult to separate clearly." Diana looked ahead, where Superman and Bizarro were fighting monsters and clearing the way. , the two people seemed to be chatting happily, and then said: "In addition, not all gods are bad, at least the God of Fire is very good to me."

Wally and Green Lantern John walked together and talked, and Hawkgirl naturally followed Ron. The atmosphere between Jason and Batman, who was leading the way, was strange. The former would rather turn his head and talk to Arthur, who was a few steps behind him, and ignore his adoptive father.

"Well, he's really good. Look at this gun I got from Vulcan not long ago. It's made of divine gold. It never jams and is extremely accurate."

Artemis wiped her hands and took off the golden AK47 from her back to show it to Diana, with a look of fondness on her face.

The African Amazon tribes have slightly more contact with the outside world. Among them, arms and pickup trucks are the most popular items, compared with the swords and horses on Paradise Island.

"Well, it's good, but I don't know if it can be used against Darkseid... Do you know that all the Essence members are dead?" Diana first praised the opponent's weapon, but then the topic Then he turned back to business.

"What? When did this happen?" Obviously, Artemis didn't know, because in her opinion, although the people in the Essence Society had problems as people, their strength was there.

So Diana told her sisters some analysis of Deathstroke and Batman, so as to improve her chances of survival.

After listening to her story, the red-haired female warrior obviously didn't understand much. She just found that Diana always talked about "death knell", so she showed a gossipy look, and her train of thought went astray:

"It seems that you and Deathstroke from another world are very sweet. He is not here, but you keep mentioning him, tsk tsk."

But before the blushing Diana could respond, everyone arrived at their destination, and then everyone heard a scream from Jason who was leading the way:

"No!!! Saru!!!"

Hearing her boyfriend's screams, Artemis left Diana behind and rushed to the front of the line with a worried look on her face, which could be called extremely caring.

Diana, who was alone, rolled her eyes speechlessly. She didn't know why her sisters had the nerve to talk about her. She was just thinking about men now, right?

But one step after another, the business at hand was still important. She drew out her sword, took off the shield from behind, and walked to Batman's side with Superman, looking into the hall.

It turned out to be the last survivor of the large caste, Saru, the eternal guardian of the Hall of All Things. At this time, he fell on his sofa with eyes open, with two parallel black holes on his chest.

Apparently Jason had a good relationship with this guy, and he was mourning at this time.
