Crete, on the coast.
The white ancient temple has stood here since who knows when. Because the exterior and interior of the building are well preserved, it is still a major relic of civilization that many archaeologists are obsessed with studying.
It is late at night.
As local firefighters began extinguishing the flames around the ruins, two figures, one large and one small, wandered freely within the temple ruins. They were a black-haired woman wearing a strange ancient battle suit and weapons, and a silver-haired boy wearing a simple long white trench coat.
Sensing the traces of divine power remaining in the temple.
Wonder Woman and Xinian soon came to an open-air fire room, where flames were still blazing and spewing out. It was obviously the source of the fire in the Amazon Temple.
As if sensing the arrival of the supreme being of the gods, the flames in the temple's fire chamber suddenly slowed down and went out, revealing the most central object in the room.
Xinian, in demigod mode, immediately walked into the room, bent down, and pulled out an arrow that was stuck diagonally in the floor.
The arrow head gleamed with the chill of the starry night sky, and the arrow seemed to be coated with a layer of dark gold. The arrow body had mysterious inscriptions of ancient Greek characters, just like the material and workmanship of the various artifacts on my aunt's body.
Another artifact?
When Xi Nian held it in his hand, he could clearly feel a vigorous and fiery divine power lurking and hiding.
Wonder Woman looked at the arrow in his hand and whispered, "That's Artemis's Arrow, capable of piercing the barrier of Paradise Island and reaching the human world here. Queen Mother shot it here from Paradise Island and lit the ancient beacon fire, presumably to give us a warning."
"Foreign invasion?" Xinian whispered to himself, holding the magic arrow in his hand as a weapon.
"That's right. As for who the enemy is, there may be information left here." Wonder Woman walked into the innermost part of the temple's fire room and suddenly placed her slender palm on the wall.
The divine power was activated at this moment, triggering a mechanism that caused the solid, sealed stone wall on one side to sink inward. Countless pieces of gravel and dust fell off, opening up a tunnel that had not been opened for thousands of years.
The tunnel is so deep underground, dark and silent, filled with the breath of ancient times.
"Let's go." Wonder Woman took out the Lasso of Truth with one hand and reached out to Xinian with the other.
Xi Nian held the hand that was as cool as jade.
Trample!
Xi Nian and the other man jumped into the tunnel, fell twenty meters, and arrived at the underground space under the temple.
Wonder Woman raised her left hand slightly, and the Lasso of Truth swirled like a firefly, its own golden light providing dim illumination.
Xi Nian touched the inner pocket of his windbreaker, took out his cell phone, and turned on the flashlight mode.
The phone immediately emitted a dazzling daylight, like a small flashlight, illuminating the white stone steps leading down ahead.
Mobile phone, the eternal god!
"Times have changed, aunt." Xinian blinked proudly.
Wonder Woman calmly retracted the Lasso of Truth and flicked her finger on the boy's smooth forehead, causing Xinian to shut his mouth tactfully.
Under the light provided by the mobile phone.
Xi Nian and Wonder Woman went deeper and deeper down the stone steps, and finally arrived at a truly secret underground dark room.
Wonder Woman had an idea and said, "Use your phone to take a picture of the wall."
Xinian did as he was told and raised his phone towards the huge dark room, instantly illuminating the huge mural printed with strange patterns and ancient Greek characters.
Xi Nian opened his eyes wide. Although he couldn't understand the words, he recognized one of the patterns at a glance.
Isn't it the metal box he saw on the stone altar in the main hall of the building where he lived on Paradise Island?
The only difference is that there are three boxes on the mural, and they are connected together in a trinity composition.
Xi Nian continued to look to the side, and what came into view was a mural depicting a grand scene that looked like an ancient battle.
Well, an ancient battle with giant space battleships.
Wonder Woman looked at the ancient Greek text, her delicate and beautiful face becoming increasingly solemn. She began to explain, "It records an ancient battle that took place long, long ago. The invading enemy is a dark and ancient cosmic force that wants to invade Earth and conquer the world. The leader of the invading alien fleet is named Darkseid!"
"Darkseid..." Xinian pondered for a moment.
Wonder Woman looked at the mural and said, "This name is cursed and feared throughout the universe. At that time, the guardians of the Earth fought a great battle with Darkseid. The old gods, humans, Amazons, guardians from the stars, Atlantis and other forces participated in the battle."
"And just as Darkseid was provoking a war, he discovered a secret on Earth, a power hidden in infinite space!"
"What power?" Xi Nian frowned, and suddenly remembered the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter he had obtained. The power hidden in those two mysterious items was unfathomable.
"We have no way of knowing what secret he discovered." Wonder Woman shook her head and continued, "But it's clear that Darkseid is desperate to gain control of it, so he used the three Mother Boxes created by their Apocalypse civilization—the living, indestructible products of Apocalypse technology. When the three Mother Boxes are combined into a trinity, the power they generate is enough to refine the entire planet, making Earth completely a world controlled by Darkseid!"
"He failed." Xi Nian said.
After all, if the other party had achieved their goal, the Earth would no longer exist as it is today.
Wonder Woman nodded: "Yes, the ancient guardians of the earth united together and drove Darkseid and his fleet out of the earth."
"As for the three Mother Boxes, to prevent it from calling Apocalypse again, one was controlled by the human forces at the time, one was handed over to the nation of Atlantis, and you know the whereabouts of the last Mother Box. It is hidden on the paradise island of our Amazon tribe."
"The situation is not optimistic." Xi Nian's eyes narrowed slightly. Paradise Island would light the beacon fire to issue an early warning. Obviously, the mother box had been obtained by the Apocalypse Star forces that had infiltrated the earth.
If the other party finds the remaining two mother boxes, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Aunt. What do you want to do next?" Xi Nian looked at Wonder Woman beside him.
Wonder Woman raised her heroic eyebrows and said, "We can't delay any longer. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will go find the two people I mentioned earlier and ask them to join the Justice League. We must assemble a strong enough team as soon as possible to prepare to deal with the infiltrating forces of Apocalypse."
"Don't forget me. I can fight as long as you are here." Xi Nian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Of course, you are the real trump card. If I need you then, I will not forget you." Wonder Woman smiled slightly and reached out to touch Xi Nian's black hair.
However, Xi Nian did not notice at this time that a strange and determined look flashed in her eyes!
