Chapter 234: Intrusion into DC, the Women of Paradise Island
Pictured: Wonder Woman.
Let's go, there's no need to provoke him."
Gwen Stacy tugged on Aaron's sleeve and whispered.
According to Marvel's settings, The Impossible Mangenerally doesn't act recklessly; he just likes to play some jokes.
But if it really comes to a fight,
it's definitely not worth it.
After all, The Impossible Man truly possesses world-destroying power.
He just likes to play; that doesn't mean he's weak!
Even the Dimensional Demon Gods probably pose less of a threat than The Impossible Man.
Although Aaron is also incredibly formidable,
there's no need to fight such a powerful enemy to the death.
Aaron understood this principle.
Moreover, trying to melt the opponent wouldn't be so easy.
Just as Aaron was about to leave with Gwen Stacy,
The Impossible Man, with a smiling face, called out from a safe distance, "Hey, do you like to play games?"
Aaron didn't even turn his head, saying, "Not interested."
As he spoke, Aaron opened a portal and stepped into the light gate with Gwen Stacy.
"This game is really fun! It's called 'Saving Another World'!"
The Impossible Man shouted from behind.
However, Aaron paid no attention.
As they passed through the teleportation channel and stepped out of the portal,
they found the teleportation destination was a bit off.
Gwen Stacy looked around; the sea breeze blew, and seabirds occasionally frolicked overhead.
"Where is this?"
Gwen Stacy was bewildered.
Aaron's expression shifted slightly, and he sharply turned his head to look.
The portal had already vanished.
Gwen Stacy realized something. "Is The Impossible Manplaying tricks?"
Aaron nodded. "Do you know Superman?"
"Superman? The one from DC? Wait, we're not in the Marvel Universe anymore, are we?!"
Gwen Stacy was alarmed and immediately tried to use her fourth wall ability.
However, in this universe, her ability was unresponsive.
She had lost the possibility of returning!
Gwen Stacy's face paled slightly. "My ability isn't working!"
"Your power relies on the Marvel World itself. Now that we're in a world outside Marvel, it's normal for it to fail."
Aaron wasn't surprised. Gwen Stacy is a character from the Marvel Universe; her editing permissions are built upon Marvel.
Naturally, she can't use them in DC.
Unless she's a purely comedic character or an omniversal existence.
Omniversal gods are embodiments of rules, possessing omnipotent power in any universe.
The premise is that the rules between the two universes do not conflict, otherwise there will inevitably be a battle.
"So, what should we do?"
Gwen Stacy was quite worried about not being able to return,
but Aaron didn't care at all. He raised his hand and swiped forward.
A deep light gate tore through the darkness, appearing before Gwen Stacy.
And through the portal,
Gwen Stacy also saw The Impossible Man on the other side, his face filled with horror.
Clearly, he was astonished by Aaron's ability to open a passage between two worlds.
When The Impossible Man saw Aaron's cold expression, he shivered all over, ignoring any words, and transformed into Tom Cat, with wind-fire wheels appearing under his feet, plunging into space and vanishing.
Aaron only had time to generate a black sword that sliced through the void, heading straight for The Impossible Man.
A moment later, a faint cry of alarm echoed from the void, "Ah, my butt! What an evil move!"
With the sound, The Impossible Man's figure completely disappeared.
"He runs fast, actually crossing eighteen thousand six hundred universes in one breath."
Aaron shook his head, quite disappointed.
Gwen Stacy's mouth twitched slightly at the sight.
To make The Impossible Man suffer like that, Aaron was probably the first.
However, seeing Aaron's disappointment, Gwen Stacyinstantly felt that Aaron regretted not truly harming The Impossible Man.
After all, such an existence is almost immortal.
So Gwen Stacy comforted him, "It's okay, he is The Impossible Man after all, not so easy to hurt. We'll talk about it next time we meet."
"Next time we meet? He probably won't dare to appear before me again."
"The Impossible Man will probably need to walk on his hands from now on."
Aaron said meaningfully.
Although The Impossible Man didn't harm him, Aarondidn't like being schemed against.
Even if it was just playful in nature.
So Aaron gave the other party a small lesson.
Sure Hit (Ability) + Eye of Death (Flaw Strike) + Blade of Death
Aaron aimed at the only few "lines" on The Impossible Man's body, striking across time and space, hitting him.
Although it only damaged one point,
it caused terrible harm to The Impossible Man.
Aaron firmly believed that even for someone like The Impossible Man, recovery would be extremely difficult.
Lines are not that easy to heal.
Gwen Stacy was a bit confused.
However, tens of thousands of universes away,
The Impossible Man was upside down, hands on the ground, head bent ninety degrees, looking at the terrifying greatsword in his buttocks, wanting to cry but having no tears… He endured the pain and pulled it out, causing another flurry of chaos.
A few minutes later,
"What's going on?"
The Impossible Man looked at the gruesome wound that wouldn't heal for a long time, and he panicked a little.
His abilities were surprisingly unable to heal the wound. Aaron's sword seemed to have directly damaged his origin, causing a loss of origin, so the wound couldn't heal for a while.
"No, no, how could this happen?!"
Thinking that he would only be able to use his hands to move around from now on, and would have to look at people upside down for the rest of his life,
The Impossible Man suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I'm not a Hanged Man!!"
The Impossible Man's mournful scream seemed to travel across countless universes to this side.
Aaron's ears twitched, and a smile played on his lips.
Gwen Stacy's heart itched at the sight, really wanting to know what happened to The Impossible Man.
But… "Who are you?"
A group of agile women in ancient Greek armor emerged from the pirate jungle.
They held swords or spear-shields, gradually closing in on the two in a encirclement.
Leading them were a middle-aged woman and a heroic young female warrior.
Gwen Stacy instinctively gave a French military salute, "Don't misunderstand, we're not good people… Ah, no, no, we're not bad people."
Everyone's mouths twitched slightly.
The leading middle-aged woman did not lower her guard. She looked at Aaron, her eyes lighting up.
What a handsome man!
Having never touched a man and not knowing a woman's joy, a flame ignited in her heart at this moment.
Not just her,
the other women who approached also stared intently at Aaron,
like hungry wolves with terrifying eyes fixed on a delicate lamb.
Gwen Stacy realized something and retreated behind Aaron. "It seems I'll have to trouble you to use your honey trap."
Aaron looked at the leading young woman. Although it was their first meeting, he could confirm that she was Wonder Woman Diana!
Hearing Gwen Stacy's words, he nodded seriously, "If I don't go to hell, who will? Leave the rest to me!"
Gwen Stacy's face was filled with emotion. "You are too great!"
As for Diana opposite them, she was also attracted by Aaron's handsome face, subconsciously taking a few extra glances.
Then, as she kept looking, she suddenly noticed that her sisters around her were acting strangely.
Hey, hey, hey, why are you all drooling?!
Chapter 235: The Power of Truth, A Shamed Diana
Living on Paradise Island since childhood, isolated from the world, Diana saw her usually kind and amiable sisters looking so hungry for the first time.
The sound of swallowing saliva occasionally reached her ears.
Even her most respected aunt, Antiope, the second-in-command and general of Paradise Island, was quite disoriented at this moment.
It was as if she had never seen a man before.
Wait, it seems that besides Antiope, no one else had ever seen a man?
Diana was stunned, and her gaze towards Aaron was filled with an odd expression.
She seemed to know the reason now.
It turned out her sisters were truly hungry.
But… calm down, everyone, and show some restraint!
Even if you've never seen a man, you shouldn't be so rude!!
Diana secretly nudged Antiope, who reacted, coughing twice to cover her embarrassment.
Then, under Diana's bewildered and confused gaze, Antiope spoke in the gentlest, mildest voice she had ever used, "Sir, do you need help?"
"Ah?!"
Diana was dumbfounded. Antiope's voice just now had been very decisive and majestic.
Now, it's as gentle as a soft breeze.
Is this still the iron-blooded general she remembered?
Before Aaron could speak, Gwen Stacy poked her head out and replied, "This beautiful older sister, we were ambushed by a green-skinned guy and sent here. We can't go back for now."
Antiope was initially a bit displeased with Gwen Stacy's quick answer, but hearing this, her eyes lit up.
Can't go back? That's wonderful!
Antiope couldn't help but smile, "That sounds terrible. Why don't you stay on Themyscira for now, and we can all figure out how to get back together?"
The other Amazons also nodded in agreement.
There was nothing they could do; they were truly hungry.
Normally, Themyscira might not see a man for hundreds of years.
At least in all the years Diana had lived, this was the first time she had ever seen a so-called "man."
Aaron thought for a moment, noticed Diana's scrutinizing gaze, and smiled, nodding at her, "Then we'll trouble you."
"Please follow us."
Antiope greeted them warmly.
If it were any other man, Antiope would definitely not have been so polite.
But Aaron... he was just too handsome, too charming, and clearly a very good person at first glance.
Aaron had originally thought the Amazons would be most wary of outsiders, especially men.
But now it seemed they were quite hospitable.
Aaron was given a "mansion" close to the center, along with many natural fruits and meat.
Besides that, many older sisters enthusiastically chatted with him.
If there was anything inappropriate... Gwen Stacy looked at her "shack," then at Aaron's mansion, and fell into thought, "I suspect they're showing favoritism."
Aaron patted Gwen Stacy's shoulder and comforted her, "No need to doubt, your feeling is very correct."
Gwen Stacy's mouth twitched, "Didn't they say women don't trick other women?"
"Perhaps it's because of my irresistible charm?"
Aaron looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. Gwen Stacy looked up, about to retort.
However, she was stunned. Okay, everything you say is right... Aaron was like someone who walked out of a two-dimensional world—no, he was even more perfect than that!
Even though Gwen Stacy had read so many comics and met so many people, Aaron was definitely the most handsome.
Thinking of this, Gwen Stacy couldn't help but sigh, "What a realistic society."
At this moment,
Diana, pretending to be calm, walked over from a distance and greeted them from afar.
"Aaron, are you comfortable here?"
Aaron nodded, "Not bad."
Gwen Stacy darted out from the side, "The food here is absolutely fantastic! I've never eaten such healthy food."
Well, apart from being healthy, it had no other redeeming qualities.
One couldn't expect a secluded island to have wonderfully delicious food.
Gwen Stacy's sudden appearance surprised Diana. She suddenly realized there was another person.
"Glad you like it."
Diana gave an awkward but polite smile, moving half a step to the side as she was somewhat blocking the view.
Then, she looked at Aaron with burning eyes, "Can we go inside and talk?"
Aaron subtly glanced in the direction Diana had come from, then nodded, "Of course."
Upon entering the "villa," Diana pulled out a red rope, her face full of hesitation.
Aaron's sincere, kind, and righteous eyes seemed to shimmer with light, and his magnetic voice stirred the heartstrings.
"Diana, is something on your mind?"
"Although this is our first meeting, you can still talk to me. Perhaps I can help you."
Upon hearing this, Diana's cheeks instantly flushed red, and her hands, with nowhere to go, kept fiddling with the red rope.
"That... that..."
Looking at Aaron's unguarded, gentle gaze, Dianaremembered her mother Hippolyta's instructions, feeling both nervous and remorseful at once.
What a good person he is. Why did Mother insist I do this?
Everything is for Themyscira!
But... but Aaron isn't a bad person.
All the sisters said so.
How could a bad person be so handsome, so gentle?
Aaron's warm, sun-like smile continued to blossom, making Diana even more flustered and apologetic.
"This red rope of yours looks quite nice. May I see it?"
Aaron said, reaching out and taking hold of the Lasso of Truth.
Diana bit her lip and nodded, handing it over readily.
"Diana, have you ever seen magic?"
"Magic? What's that?" Diana's attention was immediately caught.
"Watch."
Aaron held the rope and gave it a shake. The Lasso of Truth instantly vanished.
[Power of Truth: You can compel others to speak their inner truth; no one can deceive you.]
[Elemental Hand: You can bind invisible elemental forces, controlling them as if they were tangible.]
Aaron looked at them. The Power of Truth was understandable, a rule-based ability, he supposed; if he asked a question, the other person couldn't lie.
But Elemental Hand?
As a former elemental controller, Aaron prided himself on his elemental control not being weak.
What was Elemental Hand?
After a detailed understanding, Aaron discovered that
This ability was to materialize elements. Simply put, it was to walk on air, ride the wind, and control lightning.
Aaron could step on invisible wind, ever-changing clouds, swift lightning, and scorching flames, moving freely.
It wasn't an elemental control ability, but it allowed him to manipulate elements at will.
Seeing this, Aaron immediately recalled Diana using the Lasso of Truth to bind lightning and clouds for flight.
So that's how it was.
"However, if I can control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, then can I control time and space?"
A thought flashed through his mind.
Under Diana's surprised gaze, Aaron flipped his right hand, and the Lasso of Truth suddenly reappeared on his wrist.
"Wow, is that magic?"
Diana blinked her big eyes, asking with great curiosity.
Aaron shook his head, "No."
Diana wanted to say more, but a faint cough came from outside the door, making her instantly react.
Diana glanced at the Lasso of Truth on Aaron's wrist and hesitated, "That..."
The cough outside the door intensified again.
Gwen Stacy looked outside in confusion.
Seeing this, Diana bit her lip and hastily said, "Aaron, do you have any... purpose in coming to Themyscira?"
Diana's cheeks were flushed, and she dared not look at Aaron.
Aaron raised an eyebrow, "My coming here was purely accidental. A certain annoying guy said that a world-ending crisis would happen here, and he deliberately brought me over, wanting me to save this place."
Upon hearing this, Diana was startled, then felt even more ashamed and distressed.
Aaron was indeed a good person, and a savior at that!
Damn it, what had she done?!
Chapter 236: The Godslayer, The Amazon's Son-in-Law
Diana naturally wouldn't doubt that Aaron was lying.
The Lasso of Truth was right on his wrist.
As long as one was bound by it, they absolutely couldn't lie.
Diana pursed her lips, looking at Aaron's sincere eyes, and asked guiltily, "World-ending crisis? What is that?"
Aaron shook his head, "I'm not sure. Anyway, that's what he said. And it definitely won't be some family planning committee director."
Diana was a bit confused. Family planning committee? What was that?
After thinking for a moment, Diana temporarily put aside her research on new terms, instinctively glanced outside the door, and then asked, "Are you connected to Ares?"
"Ares? I know him."
Aaron nodded. Diana's heart tightened. Was he an enemy?
However, Aaron then continued, "I killed an Ares before. I don't know if it's the one you know."
"Ah?!"
Diana's eyes widened. Ares was dead?
There were also some strange noises from outside the door.
Then came a knock on the door.
Aaron had expected it, "Come in."
Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira, entered accompanied by Antiope.
As soon as Hippolyta entered, she looked at the Lasso of Truth on Aaron's wrist, confirmed that everything Aaronsaid was true, and her gaze towards Aaron was incredibly complex.
Even she felt a bit ashamed at this moment.
"I apologize, Mr. Aaron. I am Hippolyta, Diana's mother."
"Just now, you said... you killed a god?"
"Ares, the God of War?"
Aaron nodded, "To be precise, I only killed the Ares from our universe."
"He's not the same one you're thinking of."
Even if he wasn't the same one, he was still a god!
She hadn't realized that Aaron was so powerful!
Antiope looked at Aaron, then at Diana.
She was very satisfied with Aaron. For a moment, she wanted to keep Aaron and have him become The Amazon's son-in-law.
Such a high-quality man was simply a gift from the gods to Themyscira.
Antiope glanced at her sister, her look as if to say, 'See? I told you so. Aaron is a good person, he's our friend!'
Themyscira doesn't welcome outsiders, especially men.
But if it's Aaron… he perfectly fits the talent introduction strategy.
Perhaps he could even bring new life to Themyscira.
Hippolyta's breathing became a little hurried. She shot Diana a look. The latter wanted to retrieve the Lasso of Truth, but found it was still tied to Aaron's wrist and couldn't be taken back.
"Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll take this thing off now~," Aaron said with a smile.
Diana heard this, surprised and uneasy, "You knew all along? Then why did you…"
Aaron's gaze was profound. "I could see your unease and hesitation. To avoid making you feel awkward, I willingly put it on myself."
"At least… I've gained your trust, haven't I?"
Diana's face flushed even more. Her already ashamed heart now felt like ants crawling all over it; it was unbearable!
"Oh, Diana, Diana, look at what you've done!"
Aaron is so righteous and considerate, yet you doubted him and used such a despicable method to trick him into talking.
You truly deserve to die!
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have doubted you."
Diana's eyes were a little moist as she fumbled to remove the Lasso of Truth from Aaron.
Normally, this most agile and flexible female warrior now looked like a novice just starting out, making people shake their heads.
Aaron actively cooperated with Diana to remove the Lasso of Truth.
Diana became even more flustered. After finally managing to take it off, she covered her face and ran out.
At the same time, she glared at Hippolyta, thinking, 'It's all Mother's fault!'
Hippolyta was even more embarrassed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Aaron. We shouldn't have doubted you."
Aaron waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. I understand you. After all, you need to maintain the safety and peace of Themyscira."
Hearing this, Hippolyta felt completely uncomfortable.
Coupled with Aaron's handsome face, this feeling became even stronger.
What a wonderful young man, yet he was doubted and plotted against by her.
Hippolyta took a deep breath. "Mr. Aaron, Ms. Gwen, if you have any needs, please don't hesitate to ask. We will do our best to fulfill them."
"For the next few days, please enjoy your rest on Themyscira."
"You will be the most honored guests of the Amazons."
Then, Hippolyta pulled Antiope away, her steps hurried.
After the door closed, Aaron still heard Antiope's cold voice, as if she was quite displeased with Hippolyta's actions.
Gwen Stacy looked at all this in confusion. "What exactly happened?"
She didn't understand. They just asked a few questions, right? Why were they so remorseful and ashamed?
"That thing just now was the Lasso of Truth. Once it binds a target, they cannot lie."
Gwen Stacy realized, "So they were suspecting our motives and deliberately interrogating us?"
"Don't say that. After all, they need to consider their people."
Aaron said casually.
The footsteps outside the door became more hurried and frantic, quickly disappearing.
Aaron didn't take Hippolyta and the others' actions to heart. In fact, after he gained the power of truth, he could exempt himself from the power of the Lasso of Truth.
Of course, he didn't lie; he just embellished it a bit.
Aaron didn't dwell on it. Just as he was helping Dianaremove the Lasso of Truth,
He conveniently melted down her ability.
[DC Ancient God Power: You have acquired some characteristics of DC Ancient God Power, and your overall strength has increased.]
[Godslayer (Diana): You have acquired Diana's Godslayer characteristic. You have a special attack bonus against divine attribute beings and can unleash more powerful strength (up to ten times).]
"Godslayer? Is it because Diana's purpose of birth is to slay gods?"
Aaron recalled Diana's origin.
At that time, Ares betrayed the gods and even wounded Zeus and other deities.
He was finally exiled by Zeus.
To counter Ares's threat, Zeus deliberately left Diana, who possessed numerous divine blessings, and bestowed upon her many artifacts.
Diana's very existence was for Godslaying!
She was the Godslayer, the sharpest weapon.
Destined to kill Ares, the God of War.
"To have this gain as well is quite good."
For Aaron, this ability was even stronger than the DC Ancient God Power.
Although the Ancient Gods of the DC Universe are powerful, the Ancient Gods in this universe are clearly not the Ancient Gods from the comics.
For Aaron, this ability was not very significant.
As Aaron was thinking,
Another knock came from the door.
Perceiving carefully,
Aaron's lips curved. "Gwen, I'm going out for a bit."
Gwen Stacy looked at Aaron, then at the direction of the door, instantly realizing something.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Go on, go on. Remember to come back early."
For some reason, Gwen Stacy felt a bit of sourness in the air.
She also felt quite uncomfortable…
Chapter 237: Dark Universe? The Terrifying Ares
That night, on the beach of Themyscira,
Diana's face was flushed, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted your intentions."
Aaron said indifferently, "Don't mind those things. If I were you, facing a complete stranger, I would make the same choice."
"After all, I'm just an outsider, and you… you need to be responsible for your sisters."
Diana's expression changed slightly. "I didn't mean that. In fact, I never doubted you, it's just… it's just…"
Diana didn't say that it was Hippolyta's idea.
In fact, she also opposed Hippolyta's probing behavior.
But the other party was, after all, her mother, the Queen of the Amazon Kingdom.
"I know everything. It's all in the past, isn't it?"
Aaron's expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.
But Diana always felt a deep sense of apology.
How could they treat such a good person this way?
It was truly inappropriate.
"Mother, oh Mother…"
Diana looked at Aaron's perfect profile. Under the flickering starlight, it unconsciously captivated people's hearts.
"What are you looking at?"
In a daze, Diana was startled awake by Aaron's question.
"Ah, 497, nothing, not looking at anything."
Diana awkwardly turned her head, looking at the sea made active by the sea breeze.
"I was just thinking about what kind of world-ending crisis you mentioned earlier."
"Perhaps Ares?" Aaron guessed.
"How did you know?" Diana asked, puzzled.
"I can tell that you attach great importance to this name. When he is mentioned, your voices and eyes carry a hint of hatred."
"Is the God of War your enemy?"
Aaron looked into Diana's eyes and stated with certainty.
Diana hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Actually, this matter dates back to after the Ancient War…"
Aaron listened patiently.
It was nothing more than the story of the Ancient War, where the Greek gods, united with humans, Atlantis, Themyscira, and the Green Lantern Corps, fought against the New God Darkseid.
Ares accumulated immense power during that war, and after the victory, he developed other ambitions.
After experiencing the powerful divine power that grew during the Ancient War, Ares could no longer tolerate his weak self during peacetime.
He needed to maintain war, profit for himself, and continuously increase his divine power.
Therefore, he repeatedly incited wars between various countries, chose his spokespersons, and launched multiple large-scale battles.
He secretly provided assistance to both sides until his actions were exposed and resisted by the gods.
Ares cruelly murdered many gods, and later Zeus, at the cost of injury, personally intervened and repelled Ares.
Zeus then left the "God-Slaying Weapon" for Themyscira to guard, to deal with the lurking God of War, Ares.
"Our mission is to maintain peace and resist the God of War, Ares. According to your words, if there truly is a world-ending crisis, then it is indeed likely related to Ares."
Diana said, worried.
"No, I need to go find Mother and get the God-Slaying Weapon. Hearing you say this, I have a premonition that he might have already returned."
Aaron looked up at the twinkling stars in the distance.
"Not 'might have,' he has already arrived."
Aaron pointed to the distant red, eerie star. "That is the star representing Ares, the God of War. War and chaos have already descended."
For some reason,
Aaron always felt that this world was a bit off.
He instantly traversed thousands of miles across the ocean and saw the European battlefield.
At this very moment, the European battlefield was engulfed in flames.
World War II was in its most intense phase.
Death and smoke were the main themes of this era.
Within the hail of bullets, there was a heavy and terrifying aura.
Everyone looked incredibly insane.
They seemed obsessed with war and slaughter, praising blood and violence.
Aaron had seen World War II in another universe, but he could confirm that there were subtle differences between these two universes.
Diana noticed that Aaron's expression was a bit off.
She asked, confused, "What's wrong?"
"This world is very wrong. The dark power is incredibly active."
Under Diana's shy gaze, Aaron directly took her hand.
Diana was about to say something when her delicate body suddenly trembled. Her eyes gleamed with golden light, instantly spanning thousands of miles, witnessing the frenzied battle.
"Heavens, humans are actually slaughtering each other?"
"Are they all mad? Death... it's all Death!"
Diana heard the echoing wails of despair.
"It must be him, there's no mistake. Ares loves war, only he could do such a thing."
Aaron's gaze shifted, and as his vision changed, he saw a burly man.
The man seemed to sense something, looking in this direction, his eyes flashing red, and he gave a meaningful smile.
"Who is he?"
Diana felt an inner tremor, as if it were a primal rejection from her bloodline.
"Ares, the God of War!"
Aaron replied.
This was not normal.
The All-Seeing Eye possessed powerful concealment, after all, it was Heimdall's reliance for monitoring the Nine Realms and patrolling the universe.
Theoretically, the Ares in Aaron's memory should absolutely not be able to detect the All-Seeing Eye's prying.
But this Ares... something was very wrong with him!
At this moment, Ares vaguely sensed that the feeling of being watched had not left.
His face gradually darkened, and a black helmet appeared in his hand.
When he put on the helmet,
The energy index in Aaron's eyes suddenly increased a hundredfold!
Moreover, the invisible, strange dark power in this world surged again, becoming unusually active.
The power called light was gradually and completely suppressed by darkness.
The entire world fell into a stifling oppression.
Aaron's expression gradually darkened: "I understand."
"What?" Diana asked subconsciously.
"This is a dark world, a dark universe."
"This is the source of this universe's crisis, a doomed, evil-triumphs-over-good, destroyed universe."
Aaron finally perceived the essence of this world.
A world where evil triumphs over good is destined to be ruled or destroyed by the evil side.
No wonder it was said that this world faced an apocalyptic crisis.
In terms of threat level,
This world was only second to the zombie universe.
Boom!!
Before Diana could ask for details, the originally clear sky suddenly became overcast.
Violent lightning raged across the sky,
The sea wind, carrying seawater, roared mercilessly.
Thousands of mountains and rivers away,
Ares, wearing his helmet, leaped up.
His hundredfold increase in savage divine power transformed him into the most terrifying killing machine,
As if turning into lightning, he tore through the European battlefield, parted the sea, and approached Themyscira!
Chapter 238: The Art of Combat, Instant Kill!
"Oh no, Ares is coming."
"We must immediately prepare for battle!"
Diana's expression changed drastically. Holding Aaronwith one hand, she flung out her Lasso of Truth with the other, binding the lightning and flying towards the center of Themyscira.
"It's too late, and against a guy like Ares, your sisters won't be of any use; they'll only suffer unnecessary casualties."
Diana knew this and didn't refute it,
But she still brought Aaron to the palace, landing steadily before a shocked Hippolyta and an approving Antiope.
Antiope laughed heartily, "Well done, Diana, truly a girl of my Amazons!"
Hippolyta glared at Antiope, then stared intently at Diana's hand, which was still holding Aaron, and nervously said, "Diana, I need an explanation."
"There's no time to explain, Ares is here."
"I need the equipment passed down by the gods."
Diana's face was anxious.
Currently, besides the Lasso of Truth, she had not yet acquired her other five divine pieces of equipment.
Although she had received various combat training from a very young age, in reality, Diana only obtained her first divine artifact today.
Because of this,
Her demigod power had not yet awakened, and her physical fitness was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Amazonian woman.
Facing Ares, who could part oceans, tear apart land, and make the sky roar, the current Diana was too naive and weak.
Hippolyta did not want her daughter to become a tool of the gods; she even opposed Diana receiving combat training.
If it weren't for Antiope's adamant opposition, Dianamight truly have become a mascot princess.
Hippolyta was about to say something,
Aaron looked out at the sky,
The pale lightning became more violent and intense, and the sea boiled with it.
That terrifying sense of oppression enveloped all of Themyscira!
Hippolyta realized something was wrong, "The items are here."
She immediately retrieved Wonder Woman's iconic equipment from the room.
Diana, completely unconcerned about Aaron, began to change her attire on the spot.
Having never seen a man and unaware of the differences between genders, Diana quickly removed her Amazonian uniform armor.
Aaron glanced, her figure was excellent, then he very properly turned away.
Although for Aaron, even without using his eyes, he could clearly perceive every detail of Diana's body, but well, it was better not to incur the hostility of his future mother-in-law.
"Diana!"
Hippolyta was somewhat angry to see that Diana didn't treat Aaron as an outsider at all.
However, meeting Diana's pure gaze, she shook her head helplessly, "Never mind, be careful with everything."
Diana was puzzled, looking at Aaron with confusion, "Why are you turning your back to me?"
"I'm going out first."
Aaron had already sensed Hippolyta's "I'll be watching you" gaze, waved his hand, and walked out without looking back.
He had seen what he should see, and what he shouldn't.
It was time to get down to business.
Diana felt very confused. After quickly changing into her equipment, she grabbed the sword of vulcan and hurried out.
Hippolyta sighed.
Antiope comforted her, "Look on the bright side, Dianahas grown up. You can't keep her cooped up like a caged bird forever."
"Instead of letting her be deceived by other men whose backgrounds you don't know, it's better for her to be with Aaron. He's very good, isn't he?"
Hippolyta shook her head, "Of course I know, but the problem is, Aaron is too handsome."
"If I were a thousand years younger, I wouldn't be able to resist chasing him either."
"Such an excellent man can absolutely not be monopolized by anyone."
Antiope nodded thoughtfully, "That's well said, but I believe Diana can do it."
"Don't forget, Diana has an entire Themyscira!"
"No man can refuse this place, Aaron will love it here."
Antiope was incredibly confident.
Although she had never had a partner, she firmly believed that no man disliked being surrounded by beautiful women all day.
This was Diana's greatest advantage.
Even if it meant squeezing, he had to be squeezed dry!
Hippolyta gave Antiope an eye-roll. She didn't want to talk to her and hurried out.
Just as she exited the palace,
A piercing thunderclap boomed.
Following that, countless dazzling lightning bolts tore through the sky, raining down on Themyscira like a torrent!
Then, a golden rope extended infinitely, coiling around one lightning bolt after another, attempting to pull them away.
However, at this moment, Diana was ultimately too weak.
After merely restraining three bolts, she was powerless to resist the roar of countless lightning snakes.
"This is bad!"
Diana's expression was urgent. Once the lightning struck, all of Themyscira would be silenced!
And her sisters would have no chance of survival!
However, at this moment,
Aaron flew into the air, and in the nick of time,
He spread his single hand, and countless lightning bolts seemed to gain sentience, stopping a meter away from him.
Aaron rotated his right hand, and these unruly lightning bolts converged around him like flowing water, forming a thousand-mile-long, unprecedented lightning dragon!
Diana and the others had never seen an Eastern divine dragon. Witnessing this lifelike lightning dragon, they were momentarily awestruck by its immense power, and their hearts trembled.
And in the gloomy, low sky,
Ares, with only his red eyes and the lower half of his face visible, looked down upon Themyscira.
"Who are you? How dare you look upon a god!"
"I am your father!"
Aaron waved his hand, and the thousand-mile giant dragon swung its tail, circled Aaron once, and roared as it struck Ares!
The violent energy dispelled the darkness, illuminating the entire sky.
Even Ares was sent flying by this immense power, crashing into the deep sea dozens of miles away with a beautiful parabolic arc.
Hippolyta stared blankly at Aaron's tall figure, she subconsciously murmured, "Zeus..."
Hippolyta's face suddenly darkened.
Aaron was Zeus?
No, damn it, it couldn't be that!
Zeus must not be allowed to deceive Diana, absolutely not!
Hippolyta knew of Zeus's 'glorious achievements'.
As a child of the gods, Hippolyta would not speak ill of him; she would even deliberately pick out his greatest moments and describe Zeus's greatness to Diana.
But as a mother, Hippolyta absolutely could not accept Zeus pursuing Diana.
Hippolyta wasn't sure if Aaron was Zeus, but upon closer thought, hey, it really was possible!
Who didn't know about Zeus's romantic escapades!
Diana, using the Lasso of Truth, came to Aaron's side at this moment, looking at him with adoration.
"You can also control lightning?"
"Basic skill, don't make a fuss. If you get familiar with your own power, you can do it too."
Aaron didn't say that he was using the ancient divine power that Diana would fully awaken.
If Diana could fully uncover it, her strength would be at least ten times stronger than it was now!
However,
Aaron looked at the sea.
Ares in this universe was no ordinary being.
"There's a disgusting aura about you; it's the power of Zeus..."
"How nostalgic!"
"Too bad, I'm not what I used to be."
"I'm a hundred times stronger than before!"
Ares spread open the endless ocean, powerful Telekinesis sweeping the seawater, raising ten-thousand-meter giant waves to crash down!
To fight against the gods, Ares modified his helmet, allowing his divine power to increase a hundredfold!
Coupled with his orchestrating multiple world-class wars, Ares's divine power had long since returned to its peak.
He was confident that even if the Zeus of old stood before him, he could easily crush him!
"Diana, watch carefully how you should use your power."
Aaron was not afraid; he merely used Diana's inherent ancient divine power.
Taking the sword of vulcan from Diana, in an instant, his divine body transformed into light, nimbly moving across the seawater, stepping on the giant waves.
Each time, he could precisely find the weakest point of the wave, pierce, and cut through it.
His movements were like lightning, as if a master artist was creating the most beautiful work of art.
Using only a fraction of Ares's power,
He broke through numerous obstacles, defying the terrifying Telekinesis capable of overturning rivers and seas, and quietly appeared behind Ares.
At that moment,
Ares's eyes flickered; he felt Death!
The sword of vulcan flashed with light.
Ares only felt dizzy and disoriented, and in that final moment, he saw a robust, headless body.
Was that... him?!
"How is that possible!"
Chapter 239: Hundredfold Amplification, a Dark World Destined for Destruction
"How is that possible?"
Diana watched Ares's body separate from his head, still unable to react.
The words Aaron had just said flashed through her mind.
Diana felt it was incredibly absurd.
"This is my power?"
"Of course, if you can further tap into your power, you can also reach my level."
Aaron said, melting Ares as he spoke.
[Power of War: Detected similar ability, already fused. You have gained partial authority of the God of War. The greater the war, the faster your strength increases.]
Diana saw Aaron pick up the God of War's helmet and quickly warned him:
"Be careful, this thing has the ability to corrupt the heart. Once worn, you might lose yourself and be corrupted by the power it contains."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in this thing."
Aaron said, and with a dark void, the God of War's helmet was directly melted down.
[God of War's Descent: Your strength is amplified a hundredfold from its original base, like the descent of the God of War, invincible in battle!]
Indeed!
Aaron looked at the new trait with satisfaction. "073"
Another noble percentage boost, and a hundredfold at that!
Ares had done a great deed, after all.
He died a worthy Death, one might say.
Diana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Aarondidn't put on the helmet.
But then Diana was both curious and surprised, saying, "Can my power really be this strong? I was helpless against even a part of the lightning just now."
Diana was quite skeptical of the truth of Aaron's words.
After she obtained the six divine artifacts, her divine power began to awaken, and her strength grew stronger day by day.
But the pressure Ares brought her was too strong,
Traveling from one end of the Earth to the other in a short time.
His terrifying divine might, even across ten thousand miles of ocean, could affect Themyscira and shake the heavens.
Yet, such a formidable being could not last three moves against Aaron.
"Don't belittle yourself; after all, the power of various gods flows within your body."
Aaron came before Diana, meeting her anxious, self-doubting eyes.
"Want to learn? I can teach you."
Diana's eyes lit up at the words, and she nodded heavily, "Yes, please!"
"Then let's go!"
Aaron decided to give Diana some extra training.
He would personally teach her how to tap into her own potential.
Diana was indeed very awkward and shy,
Confused, she let Aaron guide her.
From initial awkwardness to later proficiency.
She grew stronger, gaining deeper control over her body.
Later,
Hippolyta paced anxiously in the palace.
Antiope stood by her side, "Stop pacing. Diana has grown up; she'll be fine."
Hippolyta shook her head, her face filled with worry, "You don't understand. Diana can be with anyone, but she absolutely cannot be with him."
"That's inc..."
"Mom!"
Diana's joyful voice came from outside the palace.
Hippolyta forced a smile, but when she saw the robust and handsome figure beside Diana, her smile instantly vanished.
Then a surge of anger rose within her.
Hippolyta suppressed her anger, and her voice became low: "Diana, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Aaron dealt with Ares. That guy had no chance to hurt me."
Diana felt confused.
She felt that Hippolyta seemed very off.
Was I talking about Ares? I was talking about him!
Hippolyta felt her head spin.
Hippolyta told Antiope to keep an eye on Diana, then looked at Aaron, "Mr. Aaron, may I speak with you alone?"
Aaron nodded, vaguely guessing Hippolyta's purpose in his heart.
However, when the two arrived at the side hall,
Hippolyta's first words stunned Aaron.
"Great Zeus, Diana is your child!"
"Even if she isn't your biological daughter, your bloodline and divine power flow within her."
Aaron's mouth twitched, "Hippolyta, you're mistaken. I am not Zeus."
"Do you think Zeus is as handsome as I am?"
"No, he's not."
Hippolyta shook her head. Although Zeus was also majestic, there was no doubt that Zeus wasn't fit to even carry Aaron's shoes.
If the two stood together, an uninformed person would definitely think Zeus was a servant.
Even the most handsome man would feel inferior in front of Aaron.
"But... you can clearly control the power of lightning, and what you said yesterday..."
Hippolyta hesitated.
Besides the great Thunder God Zeus, who else could so easily control the power of lightning?
Moreover, Aaron seemed incredibly familiar with Themyscira, as if it were his own home.
If not Zeus, who could it be?
"I've said it before, I come from another universe, a world with a completely different history than yours."
"Don't confuse me with Zeus; he's not worthy!"
Aaron finished speaking, ignoring Hippolyta's conflicted expression, and turned to leave.
Hippolyta watched Aaron depart with a complex gaze.
Aaron wasn't Zeus?
She was still somewhat doubtful.
Mainly because of Zeus... those who know, know.
You couldn't expect too much morality from him.
He was practically a reincarnated Teddy, bedding anything and everything.
Moreover, Diana, in a sense, had no blood relation to him.
Hippolyta wanted to observe a bit longer.
She quickly walked out of the side hall.
She saw Diana happily holding Aaron's arm, her face full of joy.
"Mom, we have something to discuss with you."
Hippolyta forced down the strange emotions in her heart, "What is it?"
Aaron said he has already discovered the true source of the crisis in our Multiverse..."
"The Amazons need to arm themselves and become stronger; a more terrifying threat awaits us."
"Didn't Ares already die? What other threat could there be?"
Hippolyta frowned, a sense of unease in her heart.
Diana looked at Aaron, who nodded, so she continued, "Ares is merely one of countless darknesses. What we are about to face might be ten thousand times more terrifying than him!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Hippolyta and Antiope simultaneously looked at Aaron.
Ares was already terrifying enough, and now you're telling me he was just an elite monster?
Aaron said seriously, "If your senses are keen enough, then you will discover that the dark aura of this world is still incredibly active."
Seeing that they were still confused,
Aaron paused, then made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a brilliant light flashed, transforming into a star map.
"If you still maintain communication with the outside world, then you should know a term: Entropy."
"Entropy?" Hippolyta murmured, repeating the word.
"Entropy is one of the parameters in thermodynamics that characterizes the state of matter. Its physical meaning is a measure of the disorder of a system."
"According to the second law of thermodynamics, in an isolated system where there is no energy exchange between the system and its environment, the system will always spontaneously move towards increasing disorder, causing the entropy of the entire system to increase."
"In other words, the disorder of this system will continue to increase until the Multiverse is destroyed!"
Hippolyta and Antiope were still very confused. Although they had lived for thousands of years, if they were to be honest, they were even less knowledgeable than elementary school students.
However, they understood the meaning of the Multiverse's destruction.
"So... does this have any connection to our world?"
Hippolyta asked humbly.
Aaron gestured for them to look at the star map.
"The red dots in the image I'm holding represent the Entropy in the Multiverse."
"Look, this is the change in Entropy of this Multiverse. The Entropy of this Multiverse is increasing exponentially."
The few of them looked at the same time and indeed saw the red dots in the image growing wildly!
In just tens of seconds, it encompassed an entire galaxy!
Aaron continued, "The rate of Entropy increase in your Multiverse is extremely abnormal, accelerating by hundreds of trillions of times compared to a normal Multiverse!"
"If it continues at this rate, this Multiverse will, within a thousand years, reach its physical demise, which is a heat Death Multiverse."
"Of course, you don't need to worry too much."
Before Hippolyta and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Aaron continue:
"According to my estimation, your Multiverse will most likely have already been destroyed by other dark factors before it reaches the heat Death Multiverse."
Ah? Wouldn't that mean dying even faster?!
Chapter 240: Artemis, Another Forest
The image shows Artemis.
Looking at Aaron's serious expression,
For a moment, Hippolyta and the others didn't know if this counted as comfort.
Antiope weighed her words, "So you mean, we don't need to worry about this so-called Entropy for now?"
"Exactly!"
Aaron nodded, lightly blew a breath, and the star map in his hand transformed into the shape of Earth.
"Now look here."
"The change in Entropy has also had some special effects on the current Earth."
"You don't need to understand what Entropy is, but you need to know that an increase in Entropy can also transform into another, more direct manifestation."
"For example, dark energy."
"An increase in Entropy also means an increase in dark energy."
"As Entropy continuously increases, the dark forces on Earth will also rapidly grow stronger."
"Just like Ares, the strength of Ares in this Multiverse is at least ten times stronger than that of Ares in a normal Multiverse!"
"Aside from him creating a helmet that can amplify divine power a hundredfold, the more crucial direct reason is the rampant increase in Entropy."
"As the God of War, the more chaotic the world, the more frequent the wars, the stronger his power becomes... Have you thought of anything?"
Diana's expression tightened, "An increase in Entropy means more chaos, so Ares's power will continue to grow!"
Aaron praised, "Smart!"
"But Ares is dead now, so there's no need to worry about his power skyrocketing again in a few decades."
"The problem now is that he was just one of the darknesses. As Entropy increases and dark energy grows stronger, there will come a day when darkness will overwhelm light, and evil will triumph over justice."
Hippolyta finally understood this sentence. Her face changed drastically as she said, "According to you, the Entropy in our Multiverse is increasing extremely fast, so our Multiverse is destined for evil to overcome good?!"
Aaron snapped his fingers, "Good."
"This is the most important point about this Multiverse. According to my preliminary estimate, dark forces will completely overwhelm forces of justice within a hundred years."
"If you don't prepare and continuously improve yourselves, then one day, you will face terrifying enemies a hundred or a thousand times stronger than yesterday's Ares!"
"And this enemy might not be a famous villain; it could also be a god you once worshipped, or a Superhero who was once righteous..."
Aaron remembered that in a similar Dark Multiverse, it was when Batman and Diana were fighting Ares that Batman put on the War God's helmet and turned dark.
He not only killed Ares but also killed all Superheroes and gods, including Diana.
And this dark Batman had another name—The Merciless!
Diana's face was filled with worry.
Hippolyta's expression changed again and again, "Perhaps we should contact the Olympian Gods; they might have a solution?"
She said this while observing Aaron's expression.
However, Aaron just scoffed dismissively.
Hippolyta's heart sank.
"Would those arrogant gods truly believe your illogical and absurd ignorant claims?"
"Are you questioning the power of the great gods?"
Aaron ruthlessly rejected her idea.
"For the gods to believe this claim, there's only one possibility!"
"What possibility?" Hippolyta pressed.
"They will die the next second!"
"..."
Well, you make a good point!
Diana said worriedly, "Then we have no other way?"
"Even you don't have a better solution?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow, "That's not it."
"In fact, I control Entropy and Negentropy Power, which can accelerate or alleviate this process."
"But this is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental cure."
"While an increase in Entropy represents an increase in dark power, it doesn't mean that a decrease in Entropy will prevent dark power from increasing."
"I can slow down this process to some extent, but you still need to work hard and strengthen your own power."
Aaron was already certain that this world was one of the infinite Dark Multiverses.
This was a failed world, a dark world destined for destruction.
The underlying logic of this Multiverse was that good could not overcome evil.
"I can reverse it for a time, but not forever."
"Unless I stay in this world forever."
Aaron said so.
Hearing this,
Antiope's heart stirred, and she looked at Diana with a strange gaze.
Diana pulled Aaron's arm, "Then can you stay for me?"
Aaron shook his head, "I'm sorry, I have a home in another Multiverse, and there are people waiting for me there too."
Diana bit her lip, her eyes dimming.
Yes, Aaron was so excellent and powerful. She was merely a newcomer; what right did she have to ask Aaronto stay forever?
That would be too selfish!
Diana really wanted to say that they could make Amazona bigger home and bring the people from his other home here.
But considering how dangerous their Multiverse was,
How could she, out of her own selfishness, bring innocent people who could enjoy light into this chaotic and constantly threatened world?
Aaron patted Diana's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will come to this world periodically to help you reduce some Entropy, but during this process, you must improve yourselves as much as possible. Only then can you resist the stronger dark forces."
"Or, you can all move to my world. At least I can guarantee that as long as I am there, you can live in peace forever."
"Think about it carefully!"
Aaron saw that they were unsettled, so he deliberately gave them space to discuss and turned to leave.
Just as Diana and Hippolyta were pondering,
Antiope called over a beautiful Amazon Warrior with long golden hair.
She was Artemis, the Amazon Warrior second only to Diana on Themyscira.
She was also Antiope's most capable and trusted subordinate.
"Artemis, we have some important matters to discuss, so from now on, you will lead Mr. Aaron on a tour of Paradise Island."
"If he has any requests, you must fulfill them, understand?"
"Yes, General!"
The Amazon Warrior named Artemis could not hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, accepted the order, and withdrew.
When Antiope turned back, she was met with Diana's incredulous gaze and Hippolyta's look of surprise and uncertainty.
"Please forgive me. Everything I do is for Paradise Island, for this world!"
Antiope showed no sign of guilt, looking at her favorite niece with sincere earnestness.
"Antiope, you..."
"Aaron will not abandon a forest for one tree, but what if we give him a bigger forest?"
Antiope's expression was serious, her tone resolute and sincere.
"Even if we can't make him stay forever, at least it can make him remember that there is another home in this world."
"Sorry, Diana, as a general, I must do this."
Diana opened her mouth; she felt that her most respected aunt was so unfamiliar.
She actually called another woman to guide Aaron right in front of her.
Diana only felt a green hue above her head, as if it were another Paradise Island.
Diana looked at her mother, Hippolyta, hoping she would say something.
However, Hippolyta, facing her gaze, looked away and said nothing.
Everything was understood without words.
"Diana, perhaps... this is a necessary sacrifice."
Chapter 241: The Evil Witch Circe, Anyone Who Doesn't Drink Coconut Juice Is an Undercover Agent
Picture: Circe.
"You finally decided to come back. Did you have a good time last night?"
When Aaron returned, Gwen Stacy immediately came over, asking curiously.
"I heard there are only oxen that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to ruin. Who won last night?"
Aaron glanced at her, "Do you even need to ask? Do you think I would lose?"
Aaron pushed Gwen Stacy's face aside, and with his right hand, created a virtual image where red dots representing Entropy Power were densely spread throughout the entire Multiverse.
After some thought, Aaron used Negentropy Power, a force of justice, order, and peace, to spread outwards from himself, sequentially covering the entire Earth and even the Multiverse.
The red dots in a corner of the virtual Milky Way Galaxygradually disappeared at a visible speed.
However, compared to the vast space, it was still too small.
But as Aaron continued to exert Negentropy Power,
the Entropy Power in the Milky Way Galaxy was curbed, and the dense red dots became sparse and peaceful.
This indicated that the level of chaos in this Multiverse was decreasing, and order was beginning to take over the underlying logic of the Multiverse.
"What is this? A match-three game?"
Gwen Stacy was quite curious.
Aaron casually repeated the essence of the Multiverse that he had just explained to Hippolyta and the others.
Gwen Stacy's eyes widened upon hearing this: "That green-skinned guy was actually right; the situation in this world is indeed so severe!"
"Hey, wait, you can actually reverse Entropy Power? Does that mean you can reverse the second law of thermodynamics? No way, that's too unscientific!"
"Scientific? Do you think your abilities are 'optional'?" Aaron replied without looking back.
Gwen Stacy thought for a moment, "Alright, then let's trample on science together."
"Oh! Look at these red dots, they're starting to increase again!"
Gwen Stacy pointed at the virtual Milky Way Galaxy and exclaimed.
Aaron had already stopped injecting Negentropy Power, but in the next instant, the red dots in the previously sparse Milky Way Galaxy surged again.
It was like a rebound after hitting rock bottom, increasing even more wildly.
Aaron frowned slightly.
Although he had known this outcome for a long time, he didn't expect the problem to be even more serious than he had imagined.
The Multiverse itself seemed to be parasitized by a dark consciousness. When he reduced entropy, this dark consciousness would deliberately control the rate of entropy increase, attempting to restore it to its previous state.
"The underlying logic of this Multiverse, where evil triumphs over good, is indeed a bit troublesome."
Gwen Stacy scratched her head upon hearing this, "Does that mean this Multiverse is really beyond saving?"
Aaron shook his head, "Not necessarily, but it would be quite troublesome."
The Dark Multiverse itself was a failed Multiverse product created by the World Forgers.
Originally, these universes should have been destroyed, crushed, and melted down for re-forging.
But for some reason, they were deliberately left together to evolve, eventually forming the Dark Multiverse.
However, due to congenital deficiencies at their birth, they had many flaws compared to normal universes.
And they were destined to become resources for some guys to improve their strength.
To save these universes, the best approach would still be to fix their flaws.
But with that effort, it would be better to create new universes.
Moreover, although Aaron possessed the ability to create new universes,
that was for the Marvel Universe. For the universes of the DC world, the underlying logic was somewhat different. At least for now, Aaron had no way to fundamentally cure the flaws of these universes.
"Even you can't solve these problems?"
Gwen Stacy was quite surprised. She had learned about some of Aaron's great achievements through her secretaries.
"I need more samples. At least I need to analyze a complete and normal Multiverse first."
Aaron said truthfully.
Gwen Stacy secretly clicked her tongue. Listen, it's always about analyzing a Multiverse.
This is a true scholar, a god of learning.
If she had had this ability back then, she wouldn't have failed to complete high school.
"Knock, knock, knock, is Mr. Aaron in?"
"I am Artemis. General Antiope has instructed me to guide you on a tour of Paradise Island for the duration of your stay."
Aaron heard this, waved his hand to erase the virtual Milky Way Galaxy, and opened the door, only to see a tall, curvaceous woman with perfect abs smiling at him.
Artemis bowed slightly in deference, then revealed a pair of enormous, wicked assets.
Paradise Island was isolated from the world. The Amazons, without men, were usually quite casual in their attire.
Many Amazon Warriors, like Artemis, were completely natural-born succubi.
"Mr. Aaron, if it's convenient for you now, I can take you to see the most beautiful places on Paradise Island."
Artemis wore a pure and sincere smile on her face, her gaze towards Aaron filled with admiration.
It was admiration for the strong.
The Amazons revered strength, and powerful warriors always won their hearts.
What's more, Aaron was handsome and powerful, practically the ideal man.
Artemis's strength was considerable. She even had the ability to compete with an unawakened Diana for the championship.
She was unwilling to lose to Diana, in any aspect.
This was also one of the main reasons Antiope called her.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Aaron closed the door with a backhand, leaving only Gwen Stacy pouting.
She smelled the scent of estrus from over ten meters away.
The local women were simply too impolite. Didn't they know that she was the first woman by Aaron's side?
How could each of them raise their hoes high in front of her!
Wife-stealing in front of her eyes?
So annoying!
It must be said,
the Amazon women were truly too enthusiastic, too hospitable.
Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen a man for many years.
Everywhere Aaron went, many young and beautiful girls would gather around, boldly pointing at Aaron and commenting.
Some girls even actively sought opportunities to create chance encounters or touches.
Regarding such behavior,
Artemis never stopped them.
Antiope and Hippolyta also turned a blind eye.
This situation continued for several days.
Even Diana pretended not to see it.
And on the second night,
Artemis actually took the initiative to find Aaron to discuss the mysteries of life.
And Diana lived in the room next door.
The next day, when Diana was seen, she looked listless, as if she hadn't slept all night.
Gwen Stacy, in the other adjacent room, simply had panda eyes, glaring at Aaron with a resentful, peeping gaze.
However, with Aaron's composure, he naturally wouldn't care about these things.
He vaguely guessed Artemis's thoughts.
Regarding this,
Aaron naturally accepted with a smile.
Who made him kind-hearted and unable to bear seeing women suffer?
However, the peaceful time was very short.
Just as Aaron was enjoying his days of being surrounded by women,
dark forces quietly descended.
"Intruders!"
"All warriors, assemble immediately!"
The clamor broke the thousand years of peace on Paradise Island.
When Aaron arrived at the square with Diana, Gwen Stacy, and Artemis,
Antiope and Hippolyta were leading people to surround two ewes.
Gwen Stacy drank natural coconut juice, curiously watching the drama unfold.
"What are you doing surrounding two sheep?"
As soon as she spoke, Gwen Stacy exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, when did Paradise Island get sheep?"
Antiope's sharp gaze swept around, "They are not sheep, they are our sisters. An evil witch has infiltrated Paradise Island!"
"Now she might be disguised as someone else, mixed among us."
Hippolyta frowned tightly, "It's the evil witch Circe, there's no mistake. Only she has this magic."
"We must find a way to discover her, otherwise more people will suffer..."
Gwen Stacy was still sipping her coconut juice.
Aaron had a flash of inspiration, "This is easy."
Hippolyta looked over, surprised: "What method?"
A coconut with a straw appeared in Aaron's hand, "Whoever doesn't drink coconut juice is an undercover agent."
"Ah?!"
Everyone's expressions were strangely peculiar.
Although the women of Paradise Island all drank coconut juice,
could this really identify who was an undercover agent?
But since Aaron said it, they couldn't openly deny it.
Hippolyta said tactfully, "Perhaps we can think of other methods."
Aaron (Wang Nuo Zhao) said nothing, took the coconut, walked up to an Amazon Warrior who was watching, and handed it to her.
"You drink the first one."
The Amazon Warrior pointed to herself, "Me?"
She looked at the coconut in Aaron's hand, her expression uncertain and surprised.
Don't you like coconut milk?"
The Amazon Warrior hesitated for a long time, then suddenly took a step back and flew out of the crowd.
And in mid-air, she completed her transformation, becoming a woman in purple armor with long, wavy purple hair, her surging magic power swirling freely.
Circe stared intently at Aaron, "How did you know it was me?"
Aaron shook the coconut in his hand, "I already told you."
Hippolyta and Antiope exchanged glances, both seeing the absurdity in each other's eyes.
No way, the undercover agent really doesn't drink coconut milk?!
Circe was silent for a moment. She felt her intelligence being trampled on the ground and ruthlessly abused.
What kind of undercover identification uses coconut milk, you super handsome bastard!
PS: My throat has been uncomfortable these past few days, so I went to the hospital for a laryngoscopy and gastroscopy. It took a whole day, but thankfully there are no major issues, just chronic gastritis (Helicobacter pylori exceeding normal levels). I also ate too much last night and my stomach is uncomfortable, so I really don't have the energy to do more. So today there will only be one chapter for now. I currently owe two updates, which I will make up later.
Chapter 242: Dark Alliance, Poaching in Broad Daylight
"Circe, retract your magic, or you'll be staying here permanently!"
Antiope pointed her long spear at Circe.
As she moved, the other Amazon Warriors drew their bows and arrows, surrounding Circe.
As a race blessed by the gods, the Amazons generally possess superior physical qualities to ordinary humans.
The weapons in their hands were also extraordinary, more powerful than common iron weapons.
As a sorceress, Circe naturally could not be immune to these weapons.
"Oh dear, don't be so violent. I was just playing a little joke with you."
Circe wore a fake smile, gazing deeply at Aaron as she pointed a finger.
The two little ewes instantly reverted to human form with a bang, revealing themselves to be two Amazon Warriors.
"Queen…"
After they rose in shame and anger, they immediately took weapons from the side and aimed them at Circe.
Hippolyta breathed a sigh of relief at the sight, then looked at Circe and questioned, "Circe, what do you want to do on Paradise Island? You are not welcome here!"
Circe didn't even look at Hippolyta, her gaze still fixed on Aaron.
Diana directly stood in front of Aaron, glaring at Circe.
These women were truly shameless; she was here first.
Artemis was at least her sister, but Circe, a mere outsider, was dreaming.
Seeing this, Circe couldn't help but chuckle.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to still be thinking about romance. Don't you know you're in big trouble?"
"Such a handsome man, it's a shame to waste him like this. Why don't you give him to me? I'll cherish him well."
Circe said with a laugh, covering her purple lips. Gwen Stacy whispered, "Who is this woman? She looks so arrogant."
Aaron said thoughtfully, "A princess from a small country who received a divine blessing, capable of some unique dark magic."
"Like turning people into sheep?"
Gwen Stacy's eyes gleamed, but unfortunately, she lost her abilities after coming to this universe, otherwise she would have liked to try.
"Handsome, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Under Diana's furious gaze, Circe smiled charmingly at Aaron, deliberately flaunting her figure.
Paradise Island currently had no other men besides Aaron, so the scale of her display was slightly larger.
Aaron raised an eyebrow, unashamedly appraising her, even commenting, "Nice figure, I'll give you a nine point five. It's just your brain is a bit lacking; it probably grew elsewhere."
Circe's smile faltered slightly, then she deliberately puffed out her ample chest, "Oh, isn't it better if it grows in that place? It looks great, and feels even better to the touch!"
"Want to try it?"
Circe had never seen a man as handsome as Aaron.
This ruthless Dark Sorceress felt at first sight that Aaronwas her awaited "Prince Charming."
Princess and prince, a match made in heaven!
Diana was furious, radiating an aura of indignation!
She snorted, then charged forward with her sword of vulcan.
Circe raised her hand and conjured an invisible magical shield, enveloping herself.
With a thud, Diana, despite her full effort, could not break the shield.
"You must be Diana, the Daughter of Zeus, that those fellows speak of? A mere demigod, and this is all the ability you possess? They truly overestimated you."
Circe made no attempt to hide her contempt.
Diana was an Amazon Princess, but compared to her, a princess who had long since become independent and struggled in the outside world, Diana was truly too naive.
It was hard to imagine that Diana, with the blood of Zeusand the blessings of the gods, possessed only this much power.
"If this is all the power you have, then Paradise Island is doomed."
"You changed the cosmic balance without having the strength, and now those great beings have set their sights on you."
"I am merely a small vanguard; it won't be long before doom descends upon this place!"
Circe flicked her finger, releasing a magic projectile the size of a basketball. Diana raised her sword to meet it, splitting the magic projectile with difficulty.
Aaron instructed, "Diana, carefully recall what I taught you before, and truly feel your own power."
Diana nodded heavily, the Guardian Bracelets on her wrists erupted with brilliant golden light, and the divine power within her surged dramatically.
Recalling Circe's contempt and her raised hoe in her mind, filled with endless anger, Diana unleashed power far exceeding her past self, splitting the magic shield with one swing of her sword, and continuing her momentum, the sword glow heading straight for Circe.
Circe was quite surprised, and quickly retreated to avoid the sharp edge. Dark purple magic surged, forming a magical telekinetic force that briefly bound Diana with powerful control.
But Diana twisted her body and broke free from the telekinetic hand, closing in again, and with a single sword strike, split Circe in two.
Feeling the feedback from the blade, Diana instinctively sensed something was wrong and withdrew her sword to defend. However, Circe had appeared in front of Aaron at some unknown point.
An invisible allure emanated from her.
Circe winked at Aaron, her voice laced with a seductive gasp, exhaling a fragrant breath.
"My dear, come with me. Let's establish a new order of the gods together. You will be the new king, and I… will be your queen."
This was Circe's charm magic. She usually used this move to control those overconfident men, turning them into cannon fodder.
In the past, this move was always successful.
And this time, Circe set her sights on Aaron, wanting to repeat the trick.
As the reconnaissance vanguard, once Circe was discovered and exposed, this operation had already failed.
If she could abduct Aaron, it would still be a worthwhile effort.
Such a high-quality man shouldn't die with this group of unromantic Amazonian tomboys.
That would be too much of a waste.
However, facing Circe's charm, Aaron showed no signs of being enchanted. Instead, his eyes lit up slightly, and an invisible power emanated from him.
Circe instinctively sensed something was wrong, yet her eyes, looking at Aaron, suddenly became hazy and shy.
Immediately after, a majestic voice, impossible to refuse, rang out.
"Kneel!"
"Yes, Master."
Under Diana's astonished gaze, Circe knelt straight before Aaron, her eyes watery as she looked at him, filled with worship and love.
"She… what is she doing?" Diana's eyes widened.
"Magic backlash. She tried to cast charm magic on me, but it backfired after failing, and this is the result."
Aaron gently stroked Circe's purple long hair. The latter closed her eyes greedily, intoxicated and lingering like a cat.
Everyone else gasped upon hearing this.
Especially Hippolyta; Circe was a notorious Dark Sorceress, yet she was subdued by Aaron in a single encounter.
Could Aaron's magic be even more powerful?
Diana pursed her lips, and her Lasso of Truth, turning into a golden light, shot out, binding Circe round and round.
The other end of the rope was in Diana's hand.
Circe merely glared at Diana, then struggled to get closer to Aaron, "So fragrant."
"Circe, what exactly is your purpose for being here? Who sent you?"
Diana flicked the rope, causing Circe to lose her balance slightly while kneeling, clearly doing so intentionally, fueled by her recent emotions.
Circe's magic could not exempt her from the power of the Lasso of Truth. While looking at Aaron with a dazed expression, she said:
"Just a few days ago, an inexplicable power affected the cosmic balance. The rapidly expanding dark power was curbed, which enraged the Titan and another faction of gods dissatisfied with the status quo."
"Moreover, you killed Ares, so the Sons of Ares took the opportunity to claim that this power originated from Paradise Island."
"Although those gods didn't believe it, given the special nature of Paradise Island, they sought me out, wanting me to explore its secrets."
Under Diana's fiery gaze, Circe finished her answer and then whispered to Aaron with deep affection:
"My dear, I am not deceiving you. I truly like you. Come away with me. Once those fellows descend, Paradise Island will surely be destroyed!"
Diana was furious. Under the binding of the Lasso of Truth, everything Circe said was true.
So, Circe really wanted to poach her man!
Chapter 243: Attack by the Sons of Ares, Circe is a Simp
Pictured: Donna Troy
Diana was distracted by Circe's antics, but Hippolyta was not.
"It's those Titan… They've also set their sights on Paradise Island."
Hippolyta's expression was complex.
When Zeus defeated the Titan Gods and sealed them, those fellows still hadn't given up.
They had been secretly accumulating power and recruiting some individuals, attempting to reignite war once more.
If it was them, then it wasn't surprising.
However… what power had disrupted the cosmic balance?
Hippolyta instinctively looked at Aaron.
She thought of the entropy Aaron had spoken of!
Seeing Hippolyta's expression,
Antiope and Diana, who had recovered, also realized this point.
They had also heard from Artemis that Aaron had curbed the growth of entropy.
Aaron nodded, admitting to the matter.
Circe was stunned, "Ah, it really was you?"
"The Sons of Ares actually guessed correctly?"
Speaking of this, Circe was a bit conflicted, "But it doesn't matter, as long as we kill everyone here, only you and I will know."
"You don't say, I don't say, they will never find out it was you who did it."
"When we find an opportunity to get rid of them, this world will belong to us."
Circe's eyes glowed with pink hearts.
Her entire being was fixated on Aaron; even if she had to die for Aaron now, she would not hesitate.
"Thank you for everything you've done for this world. We'll take it from here."
Hippolyta made up her mind, not wanting to involve Aaron further.
She looked at Circe and demanded, "Who else is involved in this operation?"
Circe answered without hesitation, "There's Eris, Goddess of Strife, Phobos, God of Fear, Deimos, God of Dread, and the imprisoned Titans."
"Besides them, there are two other evil individuals: one is Cassandra, daughter of Zeus, and the other is The Firstborn, rumored to be a son of Zeus!"
"The Firstborn? A son of Zeus!"
Hippolyta was shocked.
Diana looked over, "Who is he? I've never heard of him."
Hippolyta hesitated, pondering for a moment. Under Aaron's gaze, she stammered, "I once heard a rumor that Zeus had another child, The Firstborn, a deity who perfectly inherited the potential of Zeus's bloodline."
"However, on the day he was born, Zeus received a prophecy that The Firstborn would step over the corpses of the gods and ascend to Zeus's throne."
"Zeus, fearing the prophecy would come true, abandoned him."
"I thought it was just an unfounded rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"And… I heard The Firstborn was cast into the center of the Earth by Zeus. He's actually not dead?!"
Hippolyta suddenly looked at Diana, as if realizing something.
Circe also said, "You're right. The Firstborn is filled with rage. He wants to prove that Zeus abandoning him was the biggest mistake, and he spent thousands of years climbing out of the Earth's core."
"At the same time, he learned of Diana's existence and deeply resents her life, attempting to kill Diana to prove that he is Zeus's most outstanding child."
Hippolyta's face was full of worry; it was Zeus's fault again.
Aaron, at this moment, was thoughtful: "The Firstborn? Brute? What a name!"
Hippolyta and the others were quite speechless at his words.
But Circe nodded furiously in agreement, "My dear is absolutely right, he is a brute!"
"…"
Gwen Stacy looked at the other party in surprise, a word flashing through her mind: bootlicker.
"Circe!"
Just as everyone was worried about the impending crisis,
An angry roar came from beyond the sky.
Upon hearing the voice, Circe froze, her face turning pale as a corpse.
"Brute! Brute!"
"Bitch, you deserve to die!"
The owner of the voice grew angrier. He didn't expect that after his warning, a mere Circe would still dare to curse him!
Accompanied by a thunderclap in the sky,
Several figures descended from above.
The leader wore a specially made beast-hide armor. His body, over two meters tall, was incredibly muscular, and his deep, weathered eyes were slightly red, filled with endless killing intent.
Beside him were two men and two women.
One of them was his sister, Cassandra, and the other three were Sons of Ares.
Everyone was quite surprised by The Firstborn's arrival, only Aaron's expression remained normal.
Before anyone could react, The Firstborn stretched out his calloused, cracked hand.
Circe felt her blood boil, her breathing became difficult, and her face grew even paler.
No one could tell what means The Firstborn had used.
However, Aaron merely patted Circe's shoulder lightly, and she immediately returned to normal, gasping for air.
At the same time, the Lasso of Truth automatically retracted.
"My dear, I knew you wouldn't watch me die."
Circe, as if given new life, ran behind Aaron, looking at The Firstborn with lingering fear, "Be careful, he can control blood like a Vampire, and his strength is extremely formidable. Even the Titans are quite wary of him."
Everyone was awestruck.
Controlling blood was minor; the Titans' wariness was what truly needed attention.
Those Titans were a powerful force capable of contending with Zeus for dominion over the world. An existence that could make them wary, even if not as strong as Zeus, was still more powerful than ordinary main gods.
At least, other main gods besides Zeus, including Hadesand Sea King Poseidon, still lacked some experience.
"You actually helped a spy."
The Firstborn stared intently at Aaron, his killing intent undisguised.
"You have to look at the owner when you beat a dog. Who gave you the guts to act recklessly?!"
Aaron glanced at him indifferently. In that instant, The Firstborn actually felt a hint of fear within him!
He quickly suppressed it, then glared angrily at Phobos, God of Fear, behind him, "Keep your power in check, or I'll kill you!"
Phobos, who was eyeing the Amazon Warriors like a hawk and a wolf, was full of questions.
No, it wasn't me who provoked you, why are you getting angry at me?
The Firstborn finished speaking without waiting for a reply, then looked at Circe, only to see that she wasn't angry at all, but rather clinging to Aaron even more.
As if becoming Aaron's dog was her honor.
Even someone as fierce as The Firstborn couldn't help but feel speechless at this moment. How did he not notice Circe was so… despicable before?
When he first met her some time ago, Circe was very arrogant.
Tsk, women!
The Firstborn felt that getting angry with Circe was too foolish. He didn't want to talk to such an idiot, so he turned his gaze to Diana.
"Daughter of Zeus… are you the god-slayer he left behind?"
"Let me see what abilities you truly possess!"
The thought of his excellent self being abandoned while the weak Diana was entrusted with great responsibility by Zeus filled The Firstborn with an uncontrollable rage.
He wanted to personally kill Diana and declare war on Zeus!
Boom!
The Firstborn's entire body shot out like a cannonball, instantly appearing before Diana. She barely reacted, crossing her arms and using her Bracelets of Submission to block the furious attack.
However, Diana was too young at this time. Facing The Firstborn, who surpassed ordinary main gods, she was instantly sent flying.
The Firstborn pressed his advantage, continuing the pursuit.
Hippolyta and Antiope quickly tried to intervene, but their speed couldn't keep up with The Firstborn's movements.
Just then, a lithe figure emerged from behind the crowd. She flung out a rope, firmly binding The Firstborn.
Then, a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed somewhat similarly to Diana, jumped out.
Hippolyta exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer: "Donna Troy!"
