To be honest, Steve was a staunch atheist for the first half of his life.

It was not until he arrived at Paradise Island and saw with his own eyes the beautiful girl angrily swinging two golden whips as thick as buckets, smashing the two cruisers whose displacement was no less than 9,000 tons, that Steve suddenly felt that if there really was an omniscient and omnipotent God in the world, it would not be a bad thing.

At least when facing God, everyone is equally powerless.

Unlike him at that time, he could only look up at the strong and beautiful girl in awe.

Of course, these were just Steve's thoughts at the time.

It didn't take long for Steve to change his mind completely.

Because he discovered that if God really exists, then He is a really fucking biased creator.

Not only did He give the girl beauty and great power, He also gave her an innocent and kind heart.

When Steve heard the beautiful girl trying to persuade her mother, the queen, and blaming the cruel war among humans on the instigation of the god of war Ares, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a stone to hit himself to death.

He wanted to tell her that not all human beings were as just, intelligent, kind, and simple as she thought.

But when he met the girl's eyes that were as pure and clear as the sky, he felt so ashamed that he couldn't speak.

So, under the temptation of the girl's firm attitude and beautiful appearance, Steve dazedly admitted her statement and escaped from Paradise Island with her in a daze.

It was not until he set foot on the land ruled by humans that Steve seemed to wake up from his dream.

After Steve figured out what he had done, his clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He actually brought a girl who was as powerful as a human tank to the chaotic human world!

Not to mention that the identity of this girl is a mystery and she also has a vague background as a god, the power she has demonstrated alone is enough to subvert the inherent worldview of the outside world and arouse the covetousness of countless national governments.

After realizing this, Steve's scalp suddenly went numb.

He began to take care of and conceal the power of the girl while completing his mission.

But this is obviously a bit difficult.

Because she did not come to the human world empty-handed, but was wearing an exquisite medieval-style golden-red skirt and armor, carrying an extremely exaggerated giant sword on her back, and holding a long box made of unknown wood in her hand.

This style is quite eye-catching in today's human world where suits and windbreakers are everywhere.

Steve repeatedly asked her to change her outfit, but she didn't cooperate.

After much effort, the girl was persuaded to change into a windbreaker, but she was unwilling to put down the giant sword, saying that it was the coming-of-age gift given to her by her most respected teacher.

Its significance is very important and must never be separated from us.

There was no other choice, Steve could only put her in a hotel and then went to the Intelligence Agency alone.

In any case, the gas plan is of great importance and Steve cannot ignore it.

He handed Dr. Poison's research notes to his superiors in the Intelligence Agency, but Germany had just agreed to sign a surrender agreement, and the top leaders of various countries did not want to create any more trouble at this point in time, so they asked Steve to give up pursuing the matter.

But Steve had witnessed the power of that poison gas with his own eyes, so he naturally couldn't give up.

So he openly agreed to the request of the higher-ups, but secretly organized his own people and brought the powerful girl to the front line of the war, intending to completely destroy the plan with his own hands.

Steve thought this was a very good idea.

With the help of this powerful girl like a god, they will definitely find the poison gas very easily and destroy General Ludendorff's conspiracy.

But in this chaotic world, not everything goes as planned.

When he saw with his own eyes that the girl was invincible on the battlefield, and forced her way through the no-man's land under a hail of bullets, and easily split the thick gun barrels and indestructible tanks in half with the giant sword, Steve hesitated again.

He felt extremely guilty, thinking that he was dragging a pure and kind girl into the bottomless abyss of war.

However, the girl was obviously more adapted to the battlefield than he thought. She was a natural warrior with a pure heart, but she would not show mercy to enemies of the opposite side.

After watching Diana destroy another German line of defense, Steve made a decision.

He stopped Diana and planned to tell her the real reason for the world war so that she would not be obsessed with the so-called illusory god of war Ares.

But Diana remained firm and said she had smelled the power of Ares.

As long as she rushed into the German headquarters and killed General Ludendorff, who was the incarnation of Ares, she could stop the war.

Steve smiled bitterly and was about to explain that this was not the case when yellow poisonous smoke floated in from the village ahead.

There is no doubt that Dr. Poison has struck again.

She planned the village as a testing ground for a new type of poison gas and tested it on the villagers without mercy.

Seeing this scene, Diana struggled to break free from Steve's restraints like a madman, then threw away the giant sword in her hand, ignored the yellow poisonous smoke floating in the air, and rushed into the village alone, wanting to save those innocent villagers.

Steve knew that the poison gas could break through the gas mask, so he could only wait outside with a wry smile.

Not long after, Diana's distraught figure slowly emerged from the yellow poisonous smoke.

That pretty face that used to be full of innocence now contained an expression of confusion and helplessness.

Steve sighed softly, smiled bitterly and walked over to Diana, grabbing her silver wristband and comforting her: "Diana, calm down, their death is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself so much..."

"Of course it's not my fault!"

Diana struggled to break free from Steve's grasp and glared at his stunned face.

"It's your fault, it's you!"

"I had a chance to save them. If you hadn't stopped me and let me enter the castle and kill the incarnation of Ares, those soldiers wouldn't have released poison gas in the village, and they wouldn't have been poisoned to death!"

Steve smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Diana, you can't sneak into the enemy camp and assassinate the German generals directly. We must first find the storage location of the poison gas bombs. Otherwise, even if you really kill General Ludendorff, it will be useless!"

"How can it be of no use?"

Diana looked at Steve in disbelief: "Don't you believe me yet?"

"All of this was caused by Ares. He bewitched the Germans and Dr. Poison, so humans..."

Before she finished speaking, Diana's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she took two steps back under Steve's puzzled and distressed gaze, and murmured, "I understand, I finally understand...Ares has not only bewitched the Germans, but also you, all of you!"

"I'm going to find Ares, kill him, and end all wars in the world!"

Diana's face was determined, and then she turned around, bent her knees, stepped on the ground, jumped up, and disappeared from Steve's sight.

Looking in the direction where Diana left, Steve opened his mouth, but finally closed it and leaned weakly against the tree next to him.

"Diana, have you ever thought that perhaps not all humans are kind..."

"Perhaps, there is no Ares in this world at all?"

Steve muttered to himself, a complex expression of many emotions on his handsome face.

"some."

Calm words suddenly came from the poisonous smoke.

Steve was instantly alert and quickly pulled out his pistol, aiming it in the direction of the sound coming from the yellow smoke.

"Who? Where is who?!"

"Relax, kid."

A slightly magnetic voice came from the poisonous smoke, and a tall figure slowly emerged.

The man was wearing a gray tight-fitting suit. He was tall, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament.

Under Steve's vigilant gaze, the young man in a suit strode out of the deadly yellow poisonous smoke leisurely, just like the powerful girl from the fairyland just now, ignoring the invasion of the surrounding poisonous smoke.

“You… who are you?”

Steve swallowed, his voice trembling.

Although he knew that the mysterious figure who walked out of the poisonous smoke was very likely to possess a powerful force beyond his imagination, just like the girl who walked out of it before, he still raised the pistol firmly and pointed the muzzle at the forehead of the young man in the suit.

The reason was simple: the young man in the suit was holding a baby in his arms.

"Put that kid down!"

Steve shouted loudly, and his arm holding the gun shook slightly.

Obviously, his inner turmoil was not as calm as he appeared.

On the contrary, the young man in a suit facing Steve's gun seemed very calm.

He shook his head and said, "If you put her down, she will die..."

Steve was slightly startled, then gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

"Then leave her to me!"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian glanced at the gun Steve raised, and then really handed over the swaddling clothes in his arms.

Steve quickly took it and checked the condition of the baby in the cradle while being wary of Lin Zhongtian's actions.

But for some reason, the baby who was sleeping soundly in Lin Zhongtian's arms just now started crying loudly in Steve's hands.

Looking at Steve who was frantically trying to comfort the baby, Lin Zhongtian raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "It seems that you have never taken care of a child..."

Steve automatically replied, "Of course, I'm not married yet!"

Lin Zhongtian seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his face faded. He said expressionlessly: "Just give it to me!"

Steve looked at him in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and returned the baby to Lin Zhongtian.

Sure enough, in Lin Zhongtian's arms, the crying baby quickly calmed down and then fell into a deep sleep.

Steve was amazed: "Amazing! How did you do that?"

"It just requires a little experience and skills." Lin Zhongtian replied calmly, then looked at the baby's sleeping face and said softly, "I'm sorry, I came a little late and couldn't save your parents..."

Steve was slightly stunned when he heard Lin Zhongtian's slightly apologetic words.

When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said in a light tone: "My name is Lin Zhongtian. If you have a good relationship with Diana, you should have heard my name from her..."

Lin Zhongtian...Lin?

Steve's eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out in disbelief.

"You are Lin, Diana's teacher, the god who taught her thousands of years ago?!"
