Ch: 268-274 - Marvel: Loot from the heavens

In the morning, as the sun shines high.

A ray of sunlight shines into a large luxurious bedroom.

"Um"

Diana rubbed her eyes and opened them.

Glancing at the sky, she quickly came to her senses.

"Oops, I'm going to be late again."

Looking at Luo Ming who was still sleeping beside her, Diana felt distressed.

Recently, Luo Ming's body has suddenly become much stronger for some reason.

Even she couldn't hold on and had to struggle for a long time every time.

As if noticing her gaze, Luo Ming, who was still sleeping, moved his eyelids, then opened them, revealing his dark eyes.

"Diana, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. I'm going to work."

Diana collected her thoughts and began to wash.

She is not slow, and once she gets serious, she is very fast.

Luo Ming looked at Diana busying around, feeling a little puzzled.

"We are not short of money, why are you still going to work like a worker?"

Diana rolled her eyes at him.

"This is a hobby. Besides, I have to find something to do, otherwise it will be too boring."

"No more talking. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Diana took her bag and left the room.

The moment she left the room, the space was stirred up like a calm water surface into which a stone was dropped.

Luo Ming and Diana were used to this scene and were not at all disturbed.

This room, or this place, in addition to the materials, is also equipped with many shock-absorbing and buffering formations.

Otherwise, with the noise they made, the whole city would be shaken.

Fortunately, with the protection of the magic circle, most of the noises within the coverage area of the magic circle can be basically smoothed out.

Soon, Diana left and only Luo Ming was left.

Seeing this, Luo Ming also got up and packed up.

Now he wasn't sleepy anymore.

After putting on the special clothes, Luo Ming moved his mind and flew into the sky.

"call out!"

Because the speed was too fast, a trace appeared in the air.

However, this strange scene was not seen by anyone or any surveillance camera.

Luo Ming flew higher and higher, and soon passed through the clouds and the atmosphere and arrived in outer space.

Luo Ming came to space not for fun, of course, but to bask in the sun.

Now, as long as he basks in the sun, he can become stronger quickly.

You can bask in the sun on Earth, but the effect is better in outer space.

Because the sunlight reaches the earth's surface, it is weakened by the magnetic field, atmosphere, ozone layer, etc.

Coming directly to outer space, the sunlight has a better effect.

He is now changing with each passing day.

For example, in terms of strength, his strength has increased to tens of millions of tons, and in terms of speed, he has finally surpassed the speed of light.

In one second, he can circle the earth eight times.

Facing the sun and choosing a suitable direction, Luo Ming then floated in the space.

Then, he connected his force field with the Earth's magnetic field.

By doing this, he is making himself rotate with the earth and the sun.

Otherwise, if he stood still in the void, the earth would soon drift away from him.

After making all the preparations, Luo Ming entered into meditation practice.

He can become stronger passively, but if he does it actively, it can be faster.

In outer space, he had nothing to do but meditate and practice.

Luo Ming, floating in outer space, cannot be seen by any satellite.

This is because Luo Ming distorted the force field and magnetic field near him, concealing his own figure.

In this way, Luo Ming began his meditation practice day after day.

...

The other side.

Diana came to the Museum of Natural History in Washington.

She works here.

Arriving at the workplace, Diana started her work.

The people here were not surprised at Diana's lateness and even took it for granted.

Just because of Diana's strong background, the people in charge here all welcomed her with a smile.

Diana remained calm about this.

Since there are shares of Luo Group here, it is like she is working in her own company.

She wanted to keep a low profile, but she didn't come here to be bullied.

In addition, Luo Ming has a somewhat overbearing machismo, so he can't keep a low profile even if he wants to.

At the same time, she was also thinking about whether it was time to change her job location.

Apart from the fact that people here are becoming more and more awed by her, the problem is her own.

As a demigod, she has a very long lifespan, so her appearance remains basically unchanged.

If you work in one place for a long time, people around you will definitely notice it, so changing jobs is only a matter of time.

She initially worked in major museums in Europe.

Later, after staying there for a long time and visiting several museums, I came to the Ugly Country.

...

After finishing her own affairs, Diana came to the office area to see if there was anything worth her researching.

As a demigod, Diana is interested in the history of the past and the stories buried in history.

This is also the reason why she often works in major museums, so that she can make things convenient for her.

It can be said that our majors and interests are consistent.

As she was walking, Diana suddenly saw a girl wearing a red top and glasses squatting on the ground picking up documents.

I have an impression of this woman, Diana. It seems that she just joined the company recently.

I heard that she was clumsy, and now it seems to be true.

Seeing that the other person was in a panic, the kind-hearted Diana took the initiative to squat down and help.

"Hello."

While saying hello, help the other person pick up the documents.

"Hello, thank you."

In response to Diana's help, the woman quickly thanked her.

"I'm Diana Prince, and I study anthropology and archaeology."

"My name is Barbara Minerva. I study geology, gemology, petrology, and I moonlight as a cryptozoologist."

The two introduced themselves to each other.

Diana was a little surprised when she heard about Barbara's various studies.

Because Barbara doesn't look that smart at all.

Moreover, each subject takes a long time for ordinary people to study. Barbara looks less than 25 years old, but she is able to conduct research in multiple areas at the same time, which shows that she is very capable.

When Diana handed the documents to Barbara, Barbara felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, it's all because of these high-heeled boots, they're so stupid."

"I don't know why I wear high heels. Scientists don't wear high heels."

Diana answered silently as she watched the other person examine himself.

"Sometimes I wear it."

For example, now she is wearing a pair of leopard print high-heeled boots.

"Wow, those shoes are so pretty on you."

"Thank you, and have a nice day."

"Haha, do you want to have lunch together today?"

Looking at Barbara who suddenly invited her, Diana paused.

Today was the first time they officially met, and the other party invited her to dinner. It seemed a little inappropriate.

"I"

As if she noticed Diana's hesitation, Barbara quickly changed her words.

"Of course not now, it's still early, evening is also fine."

Ch 269

"I have a lot of work to do today, how about another day?"

If you don't agree, it means you have refused.

"Okay, I'm busy today too."

Barbara tactfully found an excuse for herself.

At this time, a somewhat obese woman came over and asked:

"Diana do you know who Barbara Minerva is?"

Hearing this, Barbara's expression froze. It felt really bad to be ignored.

However, in order to avoid further embarrassment, Barbara answered before Diana.

"Hello, Carol, it's me. I'm Barbara, remember? You hired me, and I just started working last week."

Following Barbara's words, the fat woman Carol reacted quickly.

"Gemologist."

"Yes, also a zoologist. We interviewed him several times."

"Yes."

After a few polite words to ease the awkwardness, Carol got to the point.

"The FBI will be dropping off some items this afternoon."

"Investigation Bureau? They're coming here?"

Barbara was immediately surprised.

"Yes, in yesterday's mall robbery, it was said that the jewelry store was a cover."

"What's the cover?" Diana couldn't help but ask.

Because it was she who dealt with the criminal yesterday.

"They are a black market, selling stolen jewelry and artwork to private buyers."

As she explained, Carol looked at Barbara.

"Because there is one thing I can't figure out, I need your help to identify it."

"Need me?"

Barbara was stunned at first, then immediately showed joy.

"Okay, I'm willing to help the Bureau and do my best."

"So you agreed?"

"Yes, I do."

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

After saying that, Carol left in a swift and decisive manner.

"Have a nice day."

After leaving these words, Diana also left.

Seeing this, Barbara packed up her things, took care of her work, and began to wait.

It was soon afternoon, and the people from the Investigation Bureau sent all the stolen goods to the museum for identification.

A house was specially set aside to store the stolen goods.

Barbara performs classification and identification.

After looking for a long time, she didn't find anything unknown.

Most of the things here are rarely seen on the market, but for a professional like her, they are not something mysterious.

Just as she was about to continue checking, Diana came over.

She gestured to a silver necklace.

"This is the Empress of Siam, originally found in the wreckage of the Lady Akato."

Seeing Diana's very skilled appearance, Barbara was stunned.

"Excuse me, I couldn't help but come and see."

"fine."

Barbara turned back to continue the identification.

When she opened a box and saw the stone crystal inside, Barbara's expression changed.

"Found it."

"What is it?"

Barbara examined it carefully, even using a magnifying glass to look at the words on the iron ring surrounding the crystal, but she still couldn't figure out the origin of the crystal.

"I don't see."

"This is a stone that has been widely used in counterfeiting since ancient times. I think it is worth no more than 75 US dollars."

Barbara gave her analysis.

"How about you come and take a look?"

"Identifying counterfeit items is not my specialty, but you can take a look."

Taking the crystal stone from Barbara, Diana examined it carefully.

Soon, she saw something.

The text on the iron ring is in Latin.

Barbara was a little surprised that Diana could speak Latin.

"Of course, languages are my passion."

She knows hundreds of languages.

Then they talked about the yellow crystal.

"It's an antique after all. Maybe I bought it last week at a stall on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Who knows?"

Diana said humorously.

Looking over the text, Diana translated it.

"Take this and you can make a wish."

"Really? If this were true, would you make a wish?"

"No way."

Diana put the topaz down.

Now she has no regrets or anything special she wants, so naturally she won't make a wish.

"Sorry to bother you. If you need anything, you can always contact me."

She had been worried that there might be some dangerous items among the stolen goods, but now that there weren't any, Diana was ready to leave.

"It's okay, thank you for just now."

"It's okay, it's my job." Diana thought Barbara was thanking her for helping to identify the items.

However, this is not what Barbara is thankful for.

"Thank you for talking to me."

As soon as she said this, Barbara laughed at herself.

"I'm so sorry, I'm talking nonsense again."

Because she was a little clumsy, Barbara was always discriminated against and almost no one talked to her or helped her.

Seeing the other person looking dejected, Diana hesitated.

Finally, she softened her heart and took the initiative to speak.

"Maybe we can go to dinner early and talk about how boring this rock is."

"Really?" Barbara's brows suddenly lit up.

"Of course, this piece of citrine, who can be fooled?"

"Yeah, this crystal is super boring"

The two chatted as they left the office and went to a restaurant for dinner.

The two women chatted at the dinner table, and Barbara complained to Diana that many people said bad things about her behind her back.

Those people thought she didn't know, but in fact she heard it clearly.

At the same time, Barbara also envied Diana's popularity and the fact that her life seemed easy and happy.

In this regard, Diana could only comfort her.

"My life may not be as good as you say. We all have our own difficulties."

In daily life, it is also very hard to hide your identity.

Moreover, she would occasionally do justice.

She wasn't having such a good time.

Of course, these things cannot be told to Barbara.

Afterwards, the two talked about men's problems.

Barbara asks Diana if she has ever been in a relationship.

Luo Ming's figure suddenly appeared in Diana's mind.

"Of course, I have a great boyfriend."

"..."

Diana briefly talked about their happy life.

Barbara felt unhappy after hearing this.

Because of being unpopular and other factors, she has some inferiority complex.

Deep down, she wanted to be like Diana, live in the spotlight, and get everyone's attention.

However, this is just wishful thinking.

After finishing their meal, the two women left the restaurant and prepared to go home.

Just as the two of them walked to the door, they found that someone seemed to be waiting for them.

Before Barbara could speak, Diana spoke first.

"Why are you here?"

"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Luo Ming."

Barbara was stunned, and looking at Luo Ming, who had black hair, black eyes, a slender and strong figure, and was handsome, she finally came to her senses.

"Hello, my name is Barbara."

Ch 270

"Hello."

Luo Ming answered casually.

Barbara knew that in the original movie, the villain was born because of the influence of the wishing stone.

Now she has not used the wishing stone to make a wish, she is just a person with low self-esteem.

Luo Ming didn't care much about this. He looked at Diana.

"I'm here to pick you up and pick up something from the museum."

"What?"

Diana was a little confused.

"A yellow crystal."

After listening to what Luo Ming said, Diana and Barbara were both stunned. At this time they both knew what Luo Ming was talking about.

Not long ago they were still complaining together.

Diana's face turned serious. It was worth Luo Ming's personal trip.

There must be something special about that citrine.

No wonder she felt uneasy before and went to check it out herself.

"Let's go back quickly."

Luo Ming nodded.

Barbara looked confused.

Because the restaurant was not far from the museum, the three of them quickly returned to the museum.

The museum was almost ready to close at this time.

Seeing Diana and others coming back, the staff who did not leave were a little surprised.

What's even more strange is that Luo Ming, the boss behind the museum, rarely shows up.

Although they were curious, many staff members were very tactful and kept their mouths shut, watching the few people enter the storage room.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Luo Ming and others went to the storage room and found the yellow crystal.

Looking at the crystal in Luo Ming's hand, Barbara said in a joking tone:

"What on earth is this thing? Can it really make a wish?"

After looking at her, Luo Ming nodded seriously.

"What you said is not impossible."

Barbara was stunned.

Diana's face was serious.

Just as she was about to ask, Luo Ming stopped her.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Diana understood immediately that the story behind this yellow crystal that could make wishes was not suitable for an ordinary person like Barbara to know.

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

Seeing this, Barbara subconsciously spoke up to stop him.

"Mr. Luo Ming, this crystal is stored in the museum by the Investigation Bureau. You can't just take it away like that."

Glancing at her, Luo Ming smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, everything I do is legal. I'm from the Investigation Bureau."

"The person in charge here will explain it to you."

After saying that, Luo Ming took Diana away.

Before leaving, Luo Ming used his mental power to affect Barbara's memory.

Barbara watched the two of them leave, but out of duty, she still found Carol.

After Carol learned that it was Luo Ming who took the things away, she did not blame Barbara.

She told Barbara that Luo Ming had a mysterious origin and a powerful background and seemed to be an official.

It is perfectly legal to take away a stolen item.

Seeing that Carol didn't care, Barbara didn't ask any further questions.

After that, Barbara never saw Diana again for a while. After asking, she learned that Diana had resigned.

After a brief moment of doubt, Barbara put Diana's matter behind her and gradually forgot about it until she completely forgot about Diana and Luo Ming.

Moreover, she gradually forgot even the mysterious wishing stone.

After that she returned to her normal life.

...

This way.

Luo Ming and Diana returned to their home.

Diana then expressed the doubts in her heart.

"Luo Ming, what's going on with this crystal?"

Luo Ming did not rush to explain, but mobilized his magic power and attached it to the crystal.

"Buzz"

After a burst of light, a line of words made up of light appeared in the air.

"This is."

When Diana saw this, she was stunned.

Because she could see clearly, the words seemed to appear from the inside of the crystal iron ring.

She also felt that this line of text was somewhat familiar, and after a closer look, she found that this ancient text was the language of the gods.

"My dear, what is going on? Could this crystal be a creation of the gods?"

"Is it really, as you said, a wishing stone that can fulfill people's wishes?"

Luo Ming nodded and explained:

"In a sense, it does make people's wishes come true, of course, like most educational stories, there is a price to pay for making wishes come true."

"In this world, there are many gods, and they do different things for different purposes. One of them is to create this kind of item."

"They injected their own special powers into a certain container, making it possess special powers."

"For example, the Lasso of Truth, its source of power is the concept of truth, not Diana herself. The power of truth is stronger than Diana or the gods."

"This wishing stone was created by Dolos Mendasius, the god of lies in Greek mythology."

"According to current historical records, it first appeared about 4,000 years ago in the Indus Valley."

"Until 146 BC, when it suddenly reappeared in Carthage, and in 4 AD, the Kushite Empire"

"Romulus, the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, was holding this stone when he was assassinated in 476."

"The last record was in an unnamed dead city, near the ancient Mayan city."

"This wishing stone appears all over the world with no pattern. The only commonality is that the civilization that possessed the stone has ended."

Luo Ming told Diana all the information he had found.

As someone who knows the plot, Luo Ming would naturally pay attention to this culprit who caused chaos in the world in the original work.

When it appeared, Luo Ming rushed back from outer space and took it into his own hands.

The gods in the DC world are, in some ways, very powerful, because they themselves, in some ways, have become a kind of conceptual existence.

For example, Ares, the god of war, can draw strength from war, and as long as there is war, he will never die completely.

Diana destroyed him, but that was only him at that time. One day in the future, he might come back.

Similarly, the god of lies is the same. He fulfills people's wishes through deception.

In the original book, the rules of this wishing stone are roughly presented.

The way the wishing stone fulfills wishes is not by creating them out of thin air, but by transforming something that already exists into a wish.

For example, Barbara made a wish in the original book to become like Diana, and then she gained powerful strength, physique, and so on.

In contrast, Diana lost her power and gradually became weaker.

At the same time, this is also the price Diana paid for her wish.

When the wishing stone fulfills a person's wish, it will randomly draw something from the wisher.

If you make a wish to become the wishing stone itself like Max Rod, the villain in the original novel, you can control some of the power of the wishing stone.

For example, whether to agree to fulfill a wish, or specifying the price the wisher must pay when the wish is fulfilled, such as life span, health, wealth, power, strength, etc.

Ch 271

This kind of thing is not suitable to appear in the world."

"Now that it's in your hands, what are you going to do with this wishing stone?"

Diana asked this after hearing Luo Ming explain about the wishing stone.

Looking at the wishing stone in his hand, Luo Ming smiled and said:

"If you want to break the control of the wishing stone, you must first give up your wish, and second, destroy the wishing stone."

In fact, it is not that overbearing. As long as you let go of your wishes, everything will be back to normal.

And there are no time or other restrictions.

Just say that I give up my wish, and the wish will disappear.

From this point of view, this wishing stone is quite humane.

Of course, the rules and power it contains are worth Luo Ming's study.

Diana is also a deity, but her power is still drained away by the Wishing Stone and transferred to Barbara.

In addition, Max in the original work used the wishing stone to stir up trouble on Earth and almost became the master of the Earth.

All of this is enough to illustrate the power of the wishing stone.

"This thing must be destroyed, but it might be a good idea to keep it and study it for now."

Hearing this, Diana frowned, but then relaxed.

"Then you have to be careful. The God of Lies is no small player."

She knew that Luo Ming was definitely not a selfish person.

There must be a limit to what you can do when studying the wishing stone.

"How about we go back to Paradise Island? We've been out for a long time."

Of course, in order to prevent this thing from being lost outside and causing greater harm, it would be better to return to Paradise Island for research.

There, there is a magic circle left by Zeus, which can effectively curb the power of the God of Lies.

"Besides, this place is not suitable to stay anymore."

The wishing stone involves many people, and in order to avoid attracting more attention, they can no longer stay in the Natural History Museum.

It just so happens that she has been here for quite some time, and it is time to leave.

Luo Ming did not reject Diana's suggestion.

Moreover, he could almost guess what Diana was thinking. She was just worried about him.

However, he is no longer the same person as before.

This thing is just worth his curiosity to study, so as not to fall into lies.

"Well, this is really not a suitable place to stay."

Just go.

Then the two of them packed up their things, and Luo Ming used his power to erase their traces.

Mainly Diana's whereabouts.

Afterwards, Luo Ming opened the space wormhole and returned to Paradise Island.

The Amazons of Paradise Island were somewhat happy about the return of the princess and her husband.

After reminiscing about the past, Loming and Diana met Hippolyta.

In the palace.

Diana happily hugged her mother.

"Mother."

"Um."

Hippolyta was also happy and patted her daughter on the back.

After a loving conversation between mother and daughter, everyone got down to business.

"Your Majesty, we came back this time mainly to obtain the remains of Dolos Mendasius, the God of Lies."

I told Hippolyta about the wishing stone in general.

Hippolyta's face looked a little serious.

"This guy is not a good guy either. You should not have too much contact with his stuff."

As Hippolyta has survived the Age of Gods until today, she knows many things and secrets.

And this is what Luo Ming needs.

"I am not interested in the fact that the wishing stone can fulfill wishes, but in its operating rules and nature."

"Is there any information here about the power and authority of the gods?"

Draw strength from a certain concept, and even in the sea of death in the mortal world, you can still absorb and accumulate strength through various means and return in the distant future. In a sense, this is an immortal existence.

This kind of thing involving rules and concepts is something that Luo Ming will definitely come into contact with after he becomes strong enough in the future.

Otherwise, once you encounter some powerful enemy, and the enemy goes back to the past and kills the weak you, it will be a big trouble.

Now that he has the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of power, Luo Ming doesn't mind preparing for a rainy day.

Hearing Luo Ming's plan and request, Hippolyta looked at Luo Ming deeply.

Luo Ming's idea was bold.

Don't focus on the surface of power, but explore the essence of power.

Once successful, Luo Ming is fully capable of replacing one of the gods and becoming a deity.

These things are the foundation of the existence of the gods. Once they are cracked, they will pose a very serious threat to the gods.

Therefore, she hesitated about Luo Ming's request.

Although she didn't know a lot, she also knew a lot. Once she handed it over to Luo Ming, it would be like handing her lifeline to Luo Ming.

Looking at the hesitant Hippolyta, Luo Ming took the initiative to speak.

"If it's inconvenient, don't force it."

He probably understood Hippolyta's thoughts.

Although I am interested in this kind of power, it is not necessary.

Besides, even if Hippolyta didn't tell him, he would know it sooner or later.

He now has enough potential, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the level of a single universe.

At that point, studying the power of rules and concepts becomes easy.

Telling Hippolyta now is just to inform her.

There was silence for a moment, then Hippolyta sighed.

"I have some information. I'll give it to you later."

She was a smart woman and knew she couldn't stop it.

On the road to pursuing power, when you reach a certain point, you will study this kind of thing.

In that case, you might as well do them a favor.

Of course, the main thing is that Luo Ming is not a bad person.

The two parties have known each other for many years, and she thought she had a certain understanding of Luo Ming's character and personality.

That's why she handed the information to Luo Ming so readily.

Since Hippolyta said so, Luo Ming naturally expressed his gratitude.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Diana left with Hippolyta. After a while, she came back to find Luo Ming with the information.

Luo Ming accepted it with a smile and began to study it.

...

The other side.

Max was furious when he heard the news that the wishing stone had disappeared.

The Black Gold Company he founded is on the verge of bankruptcy.

After accidentally learning of the existence of the wishing stone, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the wishing stone.

Recently, I finally got the whereabouts of the wishing stone from a channel and was preparing to trade it on the black market.

As luck would have it, the wishing stone was stolen by criminals and became stolen property that fell into the hands of the authorities.

After some inquiries, he learned that the wishing stone was sent to the Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.

He visited the museum and, after asking around, discovered that the wishing stone seemed to have been taken away by the authorities again.

After hearing the news, he continued to search without giving up, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

Finally, if you really can't find it, you can only let it go.

Not surprisingly, his company went bankrupt.

He also became an ordinary person.

Ch 272

1985.

Paradise Island.

In the research room.

Luo Ming looked at the wishing stone in his hand and smiled faintly.

The palm began to exert force, and the wishing stone was suddenly squeezed by a huge force, and the surface made a cracking sound.

The next second, a strange force emerged to protect the wishing stone.

Moreover, it also affected Luo Ming along his arm.

"Whatever you wish for, I can help you realize it. Whether it's endless wealth, stunning beauty, overwhelming power, or great strength, I can give it to you."

A demonic voice appeared in Luo Ming's mind.

Luo Ming turned a blind eye to the power of this temptation.

With a thought, the mental power shattered it.

Moreover, the strength has been increased.

Finally, the power protecting the wishing stone gradually collapsed and began to slowly shrink until it finally disappeared.

"Click."

The power of lies disappeared, and the wishing stone could no longer hold on. As Luo Ming exerted force, it broke into pieces after making a crisp sound.

Seeing this, Luo Ming avoided future troubles and used thermal vision to carry out deep destruction.

Under the destruction of high temperature energy, the wishing stone turned into powder and fell to the ground.

As the wishing stone disappeared, Luo Ming clearly sensed that a strange force was escaping into the dark void.

Luo Ming knew that this was the original power of the God of Lies.

Just when the other party was about to disappear into the void, it suddenly stopped.

It's like there is a barrier blocking each other.

This force tried to break through the barrier, but it couldn't.

Seeing this, he immediately changed direction and tried to leave from another direction.

However, a specially targeted trap has been formed in this void, and no matter which direction it turns, it cannot escape.

Moreover, the trap array is still shrinking and compressing its space.

After the trap was compressed to the size of a finger, it had to break away from the void and come to the real space.

At this moment, in front of Luo Ming, a small round ball of yellow light trapped a trace of gray energy.

Luo Ming smiled slightly, and with a thought, he took it in his hand.

This trap was specially built by him by combining the magic of Kamar-Taj, the magic circle left by Zeus, and the magical knowledge of the Amazon.

Since he gained the ability to evolve infinitely, he has developed in all aspects, and it has become very easy for him to master magic.

If he wanted, becoming a magic superman wouldn't be a problem.

"Show yourself, Doros, the god of lies."

Upon hearing Luo Ming's words, the gray energy immediately stopped agitating.

Then, after a tremor, the gray energy turned into a gray little man.

This man has long hair, a haggard appearance, and gloomy eyes.

"Are you Dolos?"

Seeing the other person looking malnourished, Luo Ming was a little surprised.

Is it because of weakness or lack of strength?

Thousands of years ago, the gods suffered heavy losses after fighting Darkseid.

Later, there was a civil war, and the losses were even greater.

Dolores looked at Luo Ming solemnly.

In response to Luo Ming's inquiry, he did not deny it, which meant he agreed.

"Who are you? Why did you destroy my keepsake?"

The Wishing Stone is a vehicle for him to gather strength and faith.

Luo Ming destroyed it directly. It was impossible to say that he had no intention of killing Luo Ming.

However, the opponent is not a weak character, and this carrier only carries a trace of his will and is not strong. Even if he wants to fight against Luo Ming, he is not able to do so.

Nowadays, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

As an ancient god, he could sense the amazing aura within Luo Ming's body.

He knew that even if he returned to his original form, he might not be a match for the man in front of him.

What's more, his body was injured and he had been recuperating, otherwise he would not have been able to gather power on Earth through the wishing stone.

Luo Ming looked at Dolos, who was a little humble, with some amusement.

"Let's not beat around the bush. I want to explore the source of your power. Why don't you tell me about the power of lies?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Doros' face darkened. Looking at the probing look in Luo Ming's eyes, he immediately made a decision.

The next second, his body began to collapse and disintegrate.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into pure energy again and remained in the magic cage set up for him by Luo Ming.

In this situation, even Luo Ming was a little stunned.

After carefully sensing it and discovering that Doros' will had indeed disappeared and only a stream of energy remained, Luo Ming silently dispersed the magic circle.

"This guy is still decisive and runs really fast."

Although he wanted to explore the existence of rules and authority, he had no intention of plundering.

Who knew that Dolos would commit suicide without saying a word.

The power of the gods varies, and in terms of the destructiveness of their power, most of them are not as powerful as he is now.

It's just that the rules have been touched and there is some special power.

Since Doros disappeared, Luo Ming put it out of his mind.

Now that the concept of gods and their authority was gone, he was ready to study something else.

As his eyes turned, he saw a square box placed in a forbidden magic circle somewhere deep in Paradise Island.

There are a lot of fine lines on the box, and the technology involved is complicated and extremely profound.

This thing is the Mother Box.

A tool made with Apocalypse technology can open a "sonic channel", through which people can achieve ultra-long-distance movement, for example, directly from the Earth to Mars.

It's similar to a space wormhole.

In addition, the Mother Box has many other abilities, such as tracing the source of energy and changing the gravitational constant of an area.

Transferring energy from one place to another, sensing danger, life.

Create force fields, rearrange the molecular structure of matter, attract or project powerful shock bursts, create electronic grids, control mental state subjects, communicate telepathically with other life forms through subjects.

Taking over and controlling unconscious, conscious machines, life forms that sustain the subject in a hostile environment.

This thing was left behind when Darkseid led his Apokolips army to invade Earth thousands of years ago and was defeated.

There are three Mother Boxes in total. After the Earth Alliance defeated Darkseid, they were handed over to humans, Greek gods, and Atlantis for safekeeping.

The Mother Box kept by humans has been lost in history and no one knows where it is buried under the land.

It was not until the future that it was accidentally obtained and fused by Cyborg.

The Mother Box, kept by the Greek gods, was eventually placed on Paradise Island and guarded by Amazon warriors.

The Mother Box kept by Atlantis is kept by the royal family.

In the future, Darkseid's subordinate Steppenwolf will invade the earth with an army of demons to search for the Mother Box, thereby opening a space channel and guiding Darkseid to come to Earth again.

However, in the end, Steppenwolf's plan was thwarted by the Justice League and he died.

Luo Ming naturally wanted to study the mother box.

But Hippolyta probably wouldn't give it to him easily.

After some thought, Luo Ming made a decision.

Ch 273

Deep in the Atlantic Ocean.

There is a civilization here, the Atlantis civilization.

Atlantis was not in the sea before, but on land.

Before Atlantis sank into the ocean, it was a unified country, which could be called the Atlantis Empire.

Under the rule of King Atlan, the empire's national strength reached its peak, and science and technology, military, and economy ushered in a period of rapid development.

But the rapid development led to the political division of the empire.

In the end, the Atlantis Empire was actually divided into seven countries.

At the beginning, they maintained peace with each other and no large-scale civil war occurred. At the same time, the other six countries nominally accepted the leadership of Atlantis.

However, after the war against Darkseid, Atlantis suffered heavy losses.

The king of Atlantis at that time, in pursuit of power, over-exploited the power of the Golden Trident, which caused a series of disasters.

The entire Atlantis was submerged in the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Afterwards, under the impact of history, various changes occurred in the seven kingdoms, and accidents occurred in three of the kingdoms, leading to the demise of civilization.

Today, only four of the seven kingdoms still retain civilization.

The Kingdom of Atlantis is the cultural and historical center of the Atlantis civilization and preserves the most complete Atlantis culture.

After sinking to the bottom of the sea, the Kingdom of Atlantis quickly adapted to the new environment and rebuilt a new civilization on the ruins.

In the following thousands of years, the technological development of the Kingdom of Atlantis has been very rapid, and it is the most powerful among the four existing countries.

In addition to technology, the Kingdom of Atlantis has a deep foundation in magic, especially water magic.

Now, in 1985, something big is happening in the Kingdom of Atlantis.

That was their princess Atlanna, who had escaped.

Atlantis dispatched a large number of soldiers to hunt them down.

In the sea.

Atlanna, wearing a white fish-scale uniform and with blonde hair, holding a pentadent, was swimming at high speed in the sea.

Behind her, there were three soldiers in white armor, chasing her non-stop.

Seeing the pursuers behind her, Atlanna looked grim.

She had gone through untold hardships and had escaped from Atlantis. As long as she could get rid of these pursuers, she could hide.

However, now she is almost exhausted.

It's not easy to get rid of these pursuers.

However, no matter how difficult it was, she had to face it.

Because the pursuers are already here.

The pursuers came to Atlanna and warned her, "Princess Atlanna, please come back with us immediately and marry King Owak, or we will not be polite."

Three warriors, holding energy cannons, aimed at Atlanna.

This is a special weapon of Atlantis. It can transform water into an energy cannon with great power.

Atlanna's face was cold.

"I'm not going back."

"It's impossible to marry Owak!"

She had managed to escape from her marriage with great difficulty, so how could she possibly go back with these soldiers now?

In order to avoid dragging the situation on, reinforcements arrived and Atlanna didn't waste any more time and took the lead in launching the attack.

With the pentadent in hand, she took the lead in the attack.

A halberd thrust out, piercing a soldier and killing him instantly.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately pulled the switch, releasing an energy beam.

Because they were afraid of killing Atlanna and thus failing to complete their mission, these soldiers could only aim at non-vital parts.

Atlanna twisted her body to avoid the attack.

He dodged one of the beams, but was scratched on the right side of his waist by the other beam.

Atlanna endured the pain and continued to attack, taking advantage of the moment when the two men failed to fire a second shot, and stabbed them to death one after another.

Then she swam quickly and left the sea.

Because she sensed that there were pursuers coming again, she didn't dare to stop.

After swimming for a distance towards the land, she finally couldn't help but faint due to her injuries.

Before she fell unconscious, she cast a water magic and let the water drag her towards the land.

The ocean is basically Atlantis' territory. Given her current situation, if she continues to stay in the ocean, she will be discovered sooner or later.

Therefore, escaping to land is the only chance of survival.

After performing the magic, she fell into a coma.

However, before she fell into coma, she seemed to see a ship sailing steadily on the sea.

At the bow, there was a tall man.

Seeing this, Atlanna fell into a coma.

Her body gradually floated to the surface of the sea and was washed towards the land by the waves.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would be carried to the shore by the sea at night.

However, an accident happened now. A strange ship appeared in this sea area.

The people on the boat seemed to have noticed Atlanna, or perhaps he had deliberately sailed here.

Suddenly, Atlanna in the sea and the pentadent in her hand were wrapped in infinite power, then broke away from the water and came in front of the man.

If Atlanna was awake, she would be able to see this man's true face, a young man with black hair and black eyes.

This young man was naturally Luo Ming.

Looking at the injured and unconscious Atlanna, Luo Ming's face was calm.

With a thought, he activated Skynet and left here.

After a few seconds, the boat's appearance changed and turned into a small spaceship.

After activating the stealth function, it gradually rose into the air and headed towards the eastern coast of the Ugly Country.

Ten seconds later, the spaceship quietly arrived at a luxurious sea view room on the beach.

Luo Ming was not surprised. He moved his mind and used his telekinesis to drag Atlanna into the room and give her treatment.

His mental power shook, and at the same time, he guided the seawater out of Atlanna's mouth and nose.

"Ahem."

As the sea water gushed out, Atlanna coughed violently several times and then gradually woke up.

Seeing this, Luo Ming put it directly on the floor.

"Hoo!"

After a few rapid breaths, Atlanna finally woke up.

Seeing the person so close, she was startled, thinking that it was someone with bad intentions towards her.

She got up from the floor and suddenly reached out to grab Luo Ming's neck.

She did this because she intended to subdue the person in front of her first and then ask about the situation.

Just before her slender little hand was about to grab the man's neck, a big hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Feeling the powerful force coming from the other party, Atlanna's heart was shocked.

"Is this how you treat your savior?"

Hearing this, Atlanna looked at Luo Ming and saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of attacking her, and her expression gradually softened.

From what the other party said, he saved her.

She had a vague memory of what happened before she fell into a coma.

She was about to speak, but a painful expression appeared on her face.

Her hand subconsciously covered her injured waist, where blood was flowing.

Finally, before Atlanna could say anything, she passed out due to excessive blood loss.

Seeing this, Luo Ming was speechless.

With a thought, he used his telekinesis to hold her back.

Then a water-repelling magic was cast, and the sea water on the surface of Atlanna's body was removed.

Then he used his telekinesis to clean her wound and bandage it to stop the bleeding.

He didn't provide direct treatment because he didn't know the people of Atlantis very well, and using medicine rashly might not be appropriate.

There are certain differences between Atlanteans and humans.

There might be a rejection reaction.

Moreover, for Atlanna, who has a strong physique, this injury can be healed by herself in no time.

After doing everything, Luo Ming threw her onto a bed.

Then he went outside and closed his eyes to rest.

In a blink of an eye, a day passed.

The next morning.

Atlanna's eyelids twitched, and then she opened her eyes.

Sitting up and checking her surroundings, she remembered what happened before.

She seemed to be rescued by someone.

Suddenly, she felt something strange in her body.

When I looked down, I found that my waist was wrapped with several circles of white cloth.

The blood seeped through the white cloth and some red could be seen.

This let her know that the person who rescued her gave her bandage treatment.

Her physical weakness made her want to eat some tonic food.

After getting out of bed, she left the room and went to the hall.

After arriving at the hall, Atlanna immediately saw Luo Ming, who was lying on a lounge chair on the balcony with his eyes closed.

Under the sunshine, Luo Ming exuded a bright and peaceful aura from head to toe.

It seems that there is a divine glow.

A strange light flashed in Atlanna's eyes, and she engraved this scene deeply into her mind.

Then she came to her senses, with a hint of caution.

She didn't know the person in front of her, and he was extremely powerful, so it would be strange if she wasn't alert.

Of course, she knew that the other party had saved her and should not have the intention of harming her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been treated.

Coming back to her senses and looking at Luo Ming who seemed to have no intention of opening his eyes, Atlanna had no choice but to speak first.

"Thank you for saving me. May I ask where is this place? What is your name?"

Hearing this, Luo Ming finally opened his eyes.

Looking at the pitiful Atlanna, Luo Ming said calmly:

"This is the East Coast. As for my name, before asking others' names, shouldn't I first tell them my own name?"

Atlanna was stunned for a moment, then answered.

"My name is Atlanna, the queen of Atlantis."

"Luo Ming."

Luo Mingyi's simple words were shocking.

"Atlanteans, that's an ancient civilization."

"From your situation, it seems that something bad has happened to you, the Queen of Atlantis."

Atlanna ignored the rest of the words, her face turning pale.

From Luo Ming's words, she realized that the person in front of her seemed not simple.

"Do you know Atlantis?"

Atlantis has no contact or communication with the human world today, and humans should not know about Atlantis.

If an ordinary person meets someone who claims to be from Atlantis, 99% of them will think that the other person is joking.

In the human world, Atlantis, like the legend, is not believed to exist.

"Yes, Amazon knows."

"What, are you from Amazon?"

Atlanna looked at Luo Ming in surprise.

She had heard about Amazon from the older generation.

The Amazons, it seems, are in seclusion somewhere, just like Atlantis is today.

"No, I'm not an Amazon. I'm just me."

Luo Ming denied it.

Atlanna's expression froze.

At this moment, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

"If you are not from Amazon, then why are you talking about Amazon?"

She had the urge to beat Luo Ming up.

Sensing a hint of resentment in Atlanna's eyes, Luo Ming smiled slightly.

"I won't tease you anymore. You can tell me your story."

After glaring at Luo Ming, Atlanna did not directly explain her situation, but requested:

"Can you give me some food? I'm injured and need some replenishment."

Because of her high consumption and injuries, she needed food to replenish her body.

As she spoke, her stomach responded with hungry noises.

"It's no problem to provide you with food, but I always follow the principle of equal exchange."

"Bang!"

Luo Ming snapped his fingers.

The next second, a robot maid appeared in the corner and began to prepare food.

Although cooking by hand can increase Atlanna's favor, Luo Ming doesn't like cooking.

Atlanna turned her eyes and looked at the robot maid for a while.

Atlantis' technological level is not weak. She can see that this is a robot containing high technology.

However, this kind of robot that looks no different from a real person is definitely not owned by humans in the outside world.

Just because Atlantis had no contact with the outside world doesn't mean it didn't know about what was happening outside.

Almost every once in a while, someone from Atlantis would come to the outside world to observe and record the situation outside and bring it back to Atlantis.

In view of the various performances shown by Luo Ming.

Inevitably, she became curious about Luo Ming.

His origin is mysterious, his skills are strong, and he also has high-tech products.

Luo Ming ignored Atlanna's thoughts and said unkindly:

"The food is lent to you. You can exchange it for something else."

Atlanna was stunned, but not excited or anything.

She was not a spoiled and unreasonable woman. It was the first time she met Luo Ming.

Luo Ming saved her and had already done her a great favor.

Providing food for free is a favor, and exchanging food of equal value is normal.

"I have nothing of value on me."

All she had except her clothes was her pentadent.

There was no way she could exchange these things with Luo Ming.

However, just because she doesn't have it doesn't mean she has no other options.

"Can I trade you for the treasure from the shipwreck or the pearls?"

She can go into the sea at any time to look for valuables.

Money is worthless to her.

"Can."

Luo Ming smiled slightly, with no intention of making things difficult for the other person, after all it was just some food.

It's just a way of communicating.

Then the food was ready and Atlanna couldn't wait to start eating.

In fact, the people of Atlantis eat fish raw.

They live in the sea, so it is normal for them to eat raw fish, but it is rare for them to eat cooked fish.

After eating and drinking, Atlanna kept her promise and immediately set out into the sea to search for some shipwreck treasures and pearls and gave them to Loming.

A meal doesn't cost much, but she still wants to stay with Luo Ming for a while and hopes that Luo Ming can take her in.

Luo Ming did not refuse and agreed without hesitation.

Ch 274

On a busy street.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman were shopping on the street.

The woman came to the street with curiosity in her eyes. When she saw anything interesting, she wanted to go up and check it out or experience it.

Men are always calm.

The places where women lingered most were in front of various snack stalls.

After buying a lot of snacks, the woman came to the man and said excitedly:

"Luo Ming, the food in your human world tastes really good."

As she spoke, the woman ate a lot of food.

Looking at Atlanna eating voraciously, Luo Ming smiled slightly.

"It's okay. They each have their own characteristics."

The civilization of Atlantis had a much higher level of technology than the human world today.

However, because it is an underwater world, most of the food is eaten raw and the taste is very ordinary.

Human beings have developed over the years, and various snacks and delicacies are endless. Unlike Atlantis, Atlanna is just a place to try something new.

After all, she had never lived on land before leaving Atlantis.

After enjoying the delicious food, Luo Ming took Atlanna to continue shopping and experience various things.

I walked around from day to night and then went back to rest.

The same thing happened the next morning, and a week later, Atlanna's enthusiasm faded.

At the same time, her relationship with Luo Ming gradually improved.

As she gradually gained trust, she began to open up and tell him her story.

It's nothing more than an imperial princess who was forced to marry someone she didn't like after her father's death through a marriage alliance.

The princess had no choice but to flee her hometown.

Atlanna also learned about Luo Ming's situation from daily communication.

A human being with some opportunities.

Of course, what Luo Ming said to her was seven-tenths true and three-tenths false.

After all, he was coaxing the little girl.

After spending some time together, Luo Ming could clearly feel that Atlanna had feelings for him.

In this regard, Luo Ming let it go.

With his current abilities, it would be easy for him to attract someone like Atlanna who was relatively simple in some aspects.

Seeing that everything was almost familiar, Luo Ming suggested that it was time to return to Atlantis, restore order, and regain everything for Atlanna.

Hearing Luo Ming's proposal, Atlanna shook her head repeatedly.

Although she knew that Luo Ming was extremely powerful, she didn't want Luo Ming to take any risks.

In this regard, Luo Ming did not insist on proving how strong he was on the spot, but explained:

"I am not going to suppress Atlantis myself, but to assist you."

"You are a member of the royal family of Atlantis, and you are qualified to be the king of Atlantis."

It is not surprising that Hippolyta could become the queen of the Amazons and Atlanna could become the queen of Atlantis.

Atlanna couldn't help but be tempted by this proposal.

However, she quickly calmed down.

"No, Owak is already the king. If I want to become the king, I can only become the king by taking on the King Challenge and defeating him."

"However, I can't beat him. The difference in strength is too great."

She thought she was quite powerful, but she had no chance of winning against the king.

In response to this, Luo Ming smiled slightly. Not to mention that he had various ways to improve Atlanna's strength, Atlanna's own potential had not yet been fully developed.

Moreover, Atlantis has a treasure, the Trident of Aquaman.

This is a sacred artifact held by the King of Atlantis long ago.

The owner can gain the divine power from the trident and greatly increase his strength.

"We can find the trident, and then you will be the rightful King of Atlantis."

The golden trident is the symbol of the king. With it, there will be no problem for Atlanna to sit on the throne of King of Atlansis.

"The trident is a legendary artifact. It disappeared along with the king who sank Atlantis into the sea. Where can we find it?"

In response to this, Luo Ming laughed and said lightly:

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean I don't know."

Seeing that Luo Ming didn't seem to be lying, Atlanna couldn't stop the shock and curiosity in her eyes.

"Do you really know the whereabouts of the Trident?"

"certainly."

As someone who knew the plot, he naturally knew the whereabouts of the trident.

"Where is the trident? This is of vital importance to the royal family."

Atlanna was a little impatient.

"It's in the Trench Kingdom."

"What!"

Hearing Luo Ming's words, Atlanna was stunned.

She didn't think Luo Ming would lie to her on purpose.

Luo Ming is so sure, he must have something to rely on.

The mystery of Luo Ming deepened in her heart.

Then she frowned again. The current situation in the Trench Kingdom was not very good.

The Trench Kingdom was once one of the seven kingdoms of Atlantis.

However, when the Atlantis civilization sank to the bottom of the sea, the Trench Kingdom fell even deeper.

In order to adapt to the deep sea environment, all the people in the Trench Kingdom have undergone tremendous changes in their physiological structure.

All the people in the Trench Kingdom turned into strange fish, and their intelligence was severely degraded, making them no different from ordinary animals.

Their kingdom and civilization thus disappeared.

Rumor has it that outsiders who enter the territory of the Trench Kingdom will be attacked by a large number of Trench people.

The four remaining countries used this place as a place of sacrifice.

"You know where the Trench Kingdom is, right?"

"Know."

"Then let's go."

"Are you sure? Even if the trident is in the Trench Kingdom as you said, it would be extremely dangerous to obtain it."

Luo Ming didn't care about this.

Nowadays, there are few people on Earth who can pose a threat to him, let alone some underwater monsters.

For him, the Trench Kingdom was nothing surprising except that it was swept away.

Of course, to avoid worrying Atlanna, he wouldn't be taken with him.

Luo Ming had no choice but to show off his strength.

For example, flying Atlanna rapidly in the air, or suppressing Atlanna at will.

After seeing all these performances, Atlanna realized that Luo Ming was far superior to her.

Therefore, she brought Luo Ming and found the location of the Trench Kingdom in her memory.

Mariana Trench.

Loming took Atlanna on a spaceship and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the Mariana Trench.

In the sky, Atlanna could hardly hide her shock in her eyes.

Atlantis' technological level is not weak and is far ahead of humans.

Thousands of years ago, Atlantis developed advanced technology to convert seawater into energy.

It is only now, after the world war, that human technology is booming.

The technological level of humans is Atlantis, but Atlantis is far behind Luoming.

Atlanna had never seen a spaceship this fast before.

After coming to her senses, Atlanna analyzed while looking at the dark sea below.

"Should we go straight down? This place is very dangerous."

Beneath the sea, there are many members of the Trench Tribe, ready to go.

If someone accidentally falls here, there is a high probability that not even a trace of it will be left.

However, this monster was useless to Luo Ming.

"Of course I just jumped in. It was just a sea monster, so I suppressed it easily."

With a thought, Luo Ming used his super vision to check the situation here and then dived into the seabed first.

Seeing this, Atlanna followed closely behind.

With two splashes, the two men fell into the sea one after another.

Once in the ocean, Atlanna changed her breathing pattern to draw oxygen from the water.

As a native of Atlantis, Atlanna can survive and breathe underwater or on land.

Turning around, he found that Luo Ming was the same. The sea water did not cause any interference to him.

It seems that Luo Ming can also breathe on his own in the sea.

"How did you do that? Ordinary humans can't breathe freely in the sea."

"Of course it's evolved."

As a man with infinite evolution, Luo Ming had already experienced various harsh environments.

And through this, your body will be able to develop more abilities.
