When the voice came, Ares couldn't help but stand there in a daze, as if he had understood something.

The next second, Diana crushed the ground and instantly came in front of Ares.

The golden light that permeated his body condensed together under the influence of the thunder power, turning into a golden long sword exactly the same as the God Slayer's sword. Then the sword body was wrapped with blue and white thunder and turned fiercely towards Ares' neck.

Ares came back to his senses instantly, roaring and thrusting his left palm, which was filled with thunder and lightning, towards the sword.

But just before it touched the sword, the divine power of thunder lingering on his arm suddenly collapsed and dissipated.

Ares finally realized the thoughts of Zeus hidden in the power of thunder, and immediately roared.

"Old man, it turns out to be you——"

“Puff——”

Before he finished his words, a golden sword filled with lightning slashed down diagonally, easily cutting off his palm, and then slashed all the way from his neck to his ribs.

Endless electric light containing the power of thunder rushed into Ares' body, wreaking havoc inside him and destroying his internal organs.

"Goodbye, brother..."

Diana looked at Ares with cold and complicated eyes.

The next second, dazzling lightning burst out from the sword mark, and countless blue and white thunders tore at Ares' body, entangled with the thunder power in his body, and then exploded with a loud bang.

"boom!!"

The deafening roar swept in all directions.

Diana was caught off guard and was instantly flung away by the exploding thunder.

Before she could fly far, a big warm hand stopped her in mid-air.

The familiar silver wave spread out, easily confining the space and keeping the raging thunder and lightning outside the shield.

Diana stood on an invisible platform made of solidified air, staring at the ground below in a daze.

I saw a dazzling blue-white lightning blooming on the ground, like a small blue-white nuclear bomb exploding in the center of the military camp. Countless military camps and arsenals built of reinforced concrete were instantly destroyed by the spreading lightning, turning into fragments and powder that were swept in all directions with the shock wave.

All the soldiers who were hiding in the German camp with a fluke mentality were affected by the terrifying lightning. Their flesh and blood bodies along with the surrounding houses were instantly destroyed and burnt, and finally turned into ashes in the scorching lightning.

Gradually, the lightning dissipated, and a huge crater with a diameter of more than a thousand meters appeared on the ground.

The charred marks spread in all directions with the crater as the center. From above, it looks like a black sun tattoo.

Lin Zhongtian and Diana slowly landed on the ground.

As soon as she landed, Diana fell to the ground as if exhausted. The sword in her hand turned into golden light and returned to her body. Then she looked dazed and stared at the void in front of her with unfocused eyes.

At this moment, a barely detectable arc of electricity burst out from the bottom of the pit and shot towards Diana's body.

But before it could enter Diana's body, Lin Zhongtian blocked its path and snatched it away without making a sound.

Afterwards, Lin Zhongtian waved his hand again and took away Ares' broken soul in the blind spot that Diana could not see.

Although Ares' soul is not as good as the traveler from the source universe, he is also the god of war of a single universe after all. I believe that the big guy next door should like this gift...

"Don't be afraid, kid. Stay here with your uncle first."

"Uncle has a good relationship with your father, and I will take you to interview for another job in a while!"

Lin Zhongtian communicated with Ares' soul in a friendly manner.

He swore that his original intention was just to appease Ares' soul, but the patricidal god of war was guilty and when he heard that he had a good relationship with Zeus, he immediately struggled violently, as if trying to break free from Lin Zhongtian's control.

But Lin Zhongtian would not give him a chance to escape, and immediately threw him into an independent space in the ring.

After doing all this, Lin Zhongtian walked behind Diana, gently raised his hand to ruffle her silky black hair, and said with a smile: "I saw the battle just now. You performed well. It seems that you have not slacked off in the thousands of years I have been away..."

A familiar voice came from above. Diana did not turn around, but suddenly said, "Teacher."

"Um?"

"I am the child of Zeus in order to deal with Ares. Zeus also has a backup plan for my thunderbolt power. My mother said that you and my biological father were old friends thousands of years ago. Did he also ask you to come to Paradise Island to teach me swordsmanship?"

Diana's tone was calm and without any ripples, but Lin Zhongtian could feel the sadness in her heart.

Lin Zhongtian looked at her with amusement.

This kid has seen too much of human nature and darkness since leaving the island, and now people are suspecting him!

"Is he worthy?" Lin Zhongtian said unhappily, "It is my personal decision to teach you swordsmanship. It has nothing to do with Zeus."

“…”

Diana's expression was slightly moved, and she couldn't help but raise her head and look at Lin Zhongtian: "Really?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded without hesitation: "Of course, have I ever lied to you?"

Diana's eyes lit up again, and then, as she did when she was a child, she leaned her head gently on Lin Zhongtian's thigh and said in a sad tone: "Teacher, Steve is dead."

As she spoke, Diana's eyes became red, and her tone was filled with a hint of grievance and sadness.

Lin Zhongtian gently rubbed her head and sighed, "This is his own choice."

"I know... I know why he did this, but..."

As Diana was speaking, tears suddenly began to flow uncontrollably, and she cried like a tearful pear blossom.

In terms of character, the current Diana is not yet the mature Wonder Woman who she will be decades later.

But even so, the Amazon blood flowing in Diana's body would not allow her to show such a vulnerable look in front of outsiders.

In the entire earth, or even in the entire universe, it is estimated that only Lin Zhongtian and Hippolyta can make Diana open her heart and vent her emotions like this.

Seeing Diana so sad, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but feel sad.

The cabbage at home was finally taken away by the pigs...

How come he is dressed so cleverly?

He failed to stop Diana from meeting Steve, but he had to save Steve for Diana's sake.

Lin Zhongtian felt regretful, but he still smiled and patted Diana on the head.

"Aren't you going to ask me when I'll be back?"

Diana paused for a moment, then quickly wiped away the tears on her face and stared at Lin Zhongtian with wide eyes: "When did you come?"

Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and said, "When you killed Ludendorff."

"So early?!" Diana seemed to understand something and couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Then Steve..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and waved his hand. A silver light flashed on the ground, and a handsome man with a confused face appeared in front of the two.

The moment he saw Diana and Lin Zhongtian, Steve Trevor's face was filled with surprise.

"Diana, God?!"

"Thank God, I'm finally out of that damn place!"

"That damn place was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I stayed there for a long, long time, so long that I almost went crazy..."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Zhongtian said unhappily, "It will only take ten minutes at most."

Steve was stunned for a moment: "Really? But why does it feel like ten years is so long..."

Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow rushed over and hugged him tightly.

Steve widened his eyes, then looked at Diana in his arms helplessly, then looked at Lin Zhongtian in front of him with a frown on his face, and quickly raised his hands to indicate that it was none of his business.

Another straight guy...

Lin Zhongtian rolled his eyes and simply disappeared from here, out of sight, out of mind.

Without Lin Zhongtian's presence, Steve hesitated and finally placed his hand gently on Diana's back.

The atmosphere suddenly became charming.

At the moment of death when facing despair, Steve finally clarified his deepest feelings. What he was most concerned about before his death was not his mission and country, but this girl whom he had just known for a month!

As a soldier who died to save humanity, Steve felt he had done a great service to his country.

But he felt extremely guilty towards the girl he took away from Paradise Island.

It was he who brought Diana from the fairyland-like Paradise Island to the outside world.

But now, he was going to abandon the girl to die alone, leaving Diana to face the world alone.

Thinking of this, Steve, who was sitting in the driver's seat, almost lost the courage to detonate the poison gas bomb.

However, it was this beautiful girl who gave Steve the courage to die.

Steve felt a pang of sadness when he thought of Diana's distraught and helpless look when she learned the truth about the war.

He really didn't want to disappoint Diana. He wanted to let her know that although humans were not all as good as she thought, they were definitely not hopeless as Ares said.

With this feeling in mind, Steve pulled the trigger resolutely.

All the new poison gas bombs were ignited instantly, and the entire plane exploded with them.

Steve was about to die here, but just as the aftermath of the explosion was approaching, a silver light suddenly appeared on his body, and then he was transferred from the cockpit of the plane to a dark space with a confused look on his face.

Steve can still remember the shock, astonishment, relief and joy he felt at that time...

All kinds of complicated emotions were mixed in, and finally all turned into the fear of escaping death and flashing in Steve's mind, which finally made him no longer hesitate like before.

Looking at the quiet and heroic girl in his arms, Steve suddenly hugged her tightly and said softly, "Diana."

"Um?"

"Sorry... I'm back."

…

In the mirror space, Lin Zhongtian was frowning and looking at the two people hugging each other with an unhappy look.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian decided to change his mood, so he waved his hand and summoned the thunder that wanted to flow into Diana's body.

In an instant, thunder burst out, and a familiar majestic divine thought emerged.

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and asked leisurely, "Old friend, do you still recognize me?"
