Chapter 394 So the myths are all true?



Hearing Steve's incredible exclamation, Lin Zhongtian smiled faintly and turned his gaze to the direction where Diana left.

A bright silver light shone in his dark eyes, and his deep gaze seemed to be able to cross space and see the figure of the girl rushing into the castle.

"After thousands of years, the little Diana has grown into a big girl now..."

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, Diana has fully grown. Her delicate and beautiful face is even better than that of Gal Gadot, who plays the role in the movie, and her slim figure is closer to the image in the comics than the actress.

Whether in figure, appearance, identity or character, they are almost perfect.

She doesn't seem like a character that could exist in real life, but more like the perfect heroine in a fairy tale.

Looking at Diana's heroic back, Lin Zhongtian suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in growing up as a girl.

But at the same time, he also slightly took on the role of father.

Therefore, she couldn't stand the man who abducted Diana in the original plot.

At the same time, Steve was staring blankly at Lin Zhongtian in front of him.

He recalled several conversations he had with Diana on the boat when they escaped from Paradise Island.

Because the boat was narrow, he was embarrassed to sleep side by side with Diana.

Diana, on the contrary, seemed very generous. Not only did she give him all the space on the ship and sit on the bow to keep watch, she also teased him for being too shy and not like a real warrior.

Steve smiled bitterly, trying to explain that today's warriors are different from those in the past.

But before he could open his mouth, Diana started talking about the past.

She said that the first man she had ever met in her life was her teacher, and then she told many stories about learning swordsmanship when she was a child, saying that she really missed her teacher...

Steve was fascinated at first, but soon he came to his senses.

[Didn't you say that I was the first man to land on Paradise Island in hundreds of years? ]

【yes!】

【What happened to your teacher? 】

[Oh, that was more than two thousand years ago...]

[Ahem... What, you are already over 2,000 years old? ]

Is this the point?

[…Okay, let’s continue talking about your teacher. ]

[My teacher... Actually, it doesn't matter if we count him, because he is not a human. ]

【……ah?】

【He is God! 】

Recalling the matter-of-fact look on Diana's face at the time, Steve suddenly came back to his senses and said quickly: "Mr. God, Diana has gone to find Ares alone. I'm worried that she is no match for Ares. Please go and help her!"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him with some surprise.

"Don't you believe in the existence of Ares?"

"It's different now, it's different now!"

Steve's expression remained unchanged. As an excellent spy, flexibility was his greatest strength.

That is why, after experiencing the Paradise Island incident, he quickly accepted the fact that Diana existed in the world.

Now, the other god mentioned by Diana has appeared in front of Steve. He has reason to believe that the existence of the so-called God of War Ares may be true!

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, looked Steve up and down, and suddenly said, "Promise me a condition."

After these words came out, Steve was stunned for a moment.

But Lin Zhongtian did not give him time to react, and simply handed the baby girl in his arms over.

"Adopt her. From today on, you are her father!"

"……ah?"

Steve was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hands and shook his head to refuse.

"This...how can this be possible!"

"I've never been married, and I have no experience raising children, and... I'm also a spy. The war isn't over yet, and I still have many difficult missions to accomplish. I'm really not suitable for adopting a child!"

Steve waved his hands and shook his head, refusing incoherently.

But Lin Zhongtian only notified him and did not give him the power to refuse.

Under the control of the authority of space, Steve unconsciously reached out and took the baby girl in the cradle.

"Very good, then it's settled!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and patted Steve's shoulder, then soared into the sky, turned into silver light and disappeared in front of him.

Steve stood there stupidly for a long time before he came to his senses and smiled wryly at the sleeping baby girl in his arms.

Suddenly, a whimpering sound came from my arms.

Steve looked down quickly and saw that the baby girl in the cradle had woken up at some point and was blinking her red eyes, looking at Steve's face curiously.

Looking at those eyes that were as pure and innocent as Diana's when she just left the island, Steve's heart softened, and he suddenly felt that adopting a daughter didn't seem like a bad thing.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away.

Steve frowned and turned around, only to see a familiar figure riding a black horse galloping towards him.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was one of his comrades-in-arms whom he had brought with him for the surprise attack on the enemy camp, an Indian man codenamed Chief.

"It's the Chief!"

Steve's eyes lit up and he quickly waved his arms and shouted loudly.

The Indian man riding the black horse heard his voice, turned his head and looked over, then exerted force with his arm muscles, turned the horse's head and ran towards where Steve was.

Soon, the chief stopped the dark horse precisely in front of Steve and jumped off nimbly.

"Steve, what the hell is going on?"

"What's that in your arms?"

"Where's Diana?"

The chief's eyes widened and he uttered a series of doubts one after another.

But Steve didn't have time to explain to him at this moment. When the chief came closer, he decisively handed the swaddling clothes in his arms to him.

"Take good care of my daughter!"

"…your daughter?"

The chief was stunned for a moment and couldn't help looking at the baby in his arms.

"How come I didn't know you had a daughter in the enemy-occupied area?"

The chief complained and looked up, then he found that Steve had taken this opportunity to turn over and jump onto the horse's back.

Sensing Steve's intention, the Chief couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Hey, what are you doing?!"

Steve pulled the reins, controlled the black horse to turn around, turned his head and gave the chief an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, I still have some things to do and can't stay here to take care of her, so I'll leave it to you!"

"drive!"

After saying that, Steve galloped off on his horse, leaving the chief standing there alone, staring at the baby in his arms.

Soon, Steve rode to a German camp.

At this time, the place was in chaos. Hundreds of German soldiers gathered under a high tower in the camp and fired wildly at the top of the tower.

Bullets rained down like rain, continuously hitting the tower, making holes in the already dilapidated tower one after another.

All the German soldiers were shouting loudly, looking nervous, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Behind them, more German soldiers were wearing gas masks, busy carrying metal bottles and cans that looked like poison gas bombs.

...What about Diana?

Steve's heart tightened and he quickly picked up the telescope from the horse's neck.

Through the telescope, Steve could clearly see the scene on the tower.

The girl in a golden and red skirt and armor sat on a chair in a daze, with a silver heavy sword that had fallen to the ground beside her. Hanging on the wall in front of her was a man in military uniform with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

It was General Ludendorff who was the biggest supporter behind the new poison gas plan!

“Swoosh—swoosh—”

Accompanied by the whistling sound of air, countless bullets shot out and passed by Diana and General Ludendorff.

But neither Diana nor General Ludendorff showed even the slightest reaction to this.

The former is because they are distracted and unable to pay attention to what is happening around them.

The latter wanted to react, but was powerless...

Because at this moment, he had been pierced through the chest by a silver sword and was nailed to the wall.

From his wide-open eyes, unwilling expression, and the deep and long scars on his palms, Steve could fully imagine him gripping the blade tightly and struggling desperately before his death.

...Diana really killed General Ludendorff!

But what can this change?

Looking at the distraught Diana on the high tower, Steve sighed softly.

He knew that this simple-minded girl naively believed that as long as she killed General Ludendorff, the incarnation of Ares, all the disputes in the world would end.

But the war will not end so easily...

It is never the fault of any one person, and naturally it will not end simply because of someone's death.

Looking at the distraught figure on the tower, Steve gritted his teeth and dismounted.

He sneaked into the camp, knocked out a lone German soldier, changed his clothes, and then avoided the German army's sight as if with divine help, and successfully sneaked into the tall tower in the center of the camp.

When he came to the distraught Diana, Steve took off his helmet and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Diana..."

“…”

Diana's eyes finally lit up. She grabbed Steve's arm, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, and looked at her helplessly and asked, "Why?"

"Why is the war not over even though I have killed Ares?"

"Why haven't the humans outside stopped shooting?"

"Why did they even carry the gas bombs on that plane?"

“Why…why…”

Diana murmured distraught.

The series of whys left Steve speechless.

He took a deep breath and finally said out all the words that he had kept in his heart for a long time.

"Because this is humanity, this is war!"

"War is cruel, complicated, and dirty, but it is not simple. I also want to tell you that all this is just the fault of a bad guy, but the reality is not like that!"

"People aren't all as kind as you think."

"Whether Ares exists or not, we will kill each other..."

Diana stared at Steve in a daze. She was just a little naive, not stupid.

During the time she had been away from Paradise Island, she had already vaguely realized that something was wrong.

But until she saw it with her own eyes, she was willing to believe that human beings were essentially good.

Until Steve said this to her...

"Mother is right!" Diana shook her head and took a step back, looking at Steve with disappointment, "She is right, the human world is not worth saving."

Steve smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is not a question of whether it is worth it or not..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Steve.

"You're right, Diana..."

"The human world is indeed not worth saving!"

When the voice came, Steve and Diana were slightly startled and turned around quickly.

A man in a gray suit walked into the room at some point, stood in front of the dead General Ludendorff, took off his hat, and turned to look at Steve and Diana.

"Sir Patrick Morgan!"

Steve looked at the man in front of him in amazement.

Sir Patrick Morgan was the only one among the senior members of the British Intelligence Agency who supported their efforts to destroy the poison gas program.

Logically speaking, he should still be at the Intelligence Agency's front-line headquarters at this moment. How could he appear here?

Steve's pupils gradually shrank. He suddenly remembered Mr. God whom he had met not long ago, and also remembered the words that he had refuted when he just appeared -

Ares is real...

This is the answer given by another god.

But would Ares, the god of war, really die so easily at the hands of Diana?

Steve didn't have time to think about why Lin Zhongtian, who left before him, did not appear here.

He looked at General Ludendorff who was nailed to the wall by a sword, and then at Sir Patrick Morgan who seemed to be smiling in front of him, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"Diana, I think we may have the wrong person."

"Ludendorff is not Ares..."

"He is!"
