"Diana, you don't mean this conflict between the tribes is due to the influence of War God Ares, do you?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.
In fact, in the Middle East, many countries are in a mess, with constant disputes. The battles over resources are inherently bloody. Moreover, there's a certain major power stirring up trouble there every day, hoping for unrest to disrupt the development of the Eurasian continent.
He'd seen this kind of situation many times. But for the inexperienced Diana, in her world of understanding, the world should be peaceful, and all wars were caused by the influence of War God Ares.
Hmm, Ares, the old villain actor!
"Of course, they could have lived peacefully in this world, but they became like this because of Ares's influence!" Diana said firmly. "I've been searching for Ares's whereabouts for some time, but I haven't found anything. Recently, however, I finally traced a batch of arms deals. I followed them here, and I really felt a surge of divine power!"
Lin Feng stroked his chin. Although he didn't believe this divine power came from Ares himself, he didn't doubt Wonder Woman Diana's judgment.
There must be divine power exerting influence, but which god could it be? Ever since he had a full-blown fight with Thor, Lin Feng had completely removed the rose-tinted glasses when it came to the gods of this world. Most of the gods might not even be as powerful as some of the mutated monsters on Earth.
But soon, a surge of divine power churned, and even Lin Feng, who wasn't a god, felt the air around him solidify.
A figure slowly descended from the sky.
It was a middle-aged white man, and his body contained terrifying energy.
"Ares!"
Diana was the one who immediately called out the identity of the middle-aged white man.
"That's right, it's me, my dear sister. Shouldn't you be happy to see me? I'm your only family in this world!" The white man, Ares, smiled slightly, saying.
"Happy, of course I'm happy!"
Diana's warrior instincts were immediately triggered, and she instantly thrust her sword towards Ares, hitting him instantly.
But the moment the longsword pierced him, it turned to ashes.
"How is this possible, the Godslayer Sword..." Diana looked at the longsword, now completely turned to ashes. She was still in disbelief.
From a young age, she had been instilled with the idea of ending Ares.
She had always believed she was the chosen one, and being a superhero was just something to do when she was bored.
But when she actually encountered Ares, her prized Godslayer Sword turned to ashes.
"Godslayer Sword? Of course, there's no such thing as a Godslayer Sword. My dear sister, you, the child of Zeus and the Amazon Queen, are the weapon that slays gods. Only a god can kill another god!" Ares said arrogantly, looking at Diana as if she were a disobedient child.
"Impossible..." Diana said in disbelief.
"The moment you appeared, I knew. I could have killed you directly, but I didn't. I chose to let you see the true and cruel side of this world, to see how those filthy humans created by Zeus destroy our gods' lands time and time again!" Ares smiled slightly, saying. "These filthy humans are greedy, foolish, ignorant, and arrogant, possessing almost every negative quality in the world. They took the world from us, but look at how they treat it. You've seen the two wars that caused casualties of hundreds of millions, and they're still constantly starting wars, in the name of justice!
You were deceived by Zeus. It wasn't me who incited them to wage war, but they themselves. For their own interests, water, land, minerals, even sunlight, they want it all. Such greedy creatures simply shouldn't exist."
"I carefully designed your next route, leading you from America, so you could witness what this superpower has done to the people of this land, and what kind of inherent flaws lie within their hearts. The human race is a species that shouldn't exist."
Ares waved his hand, and the people below fought even more fiercely, fearlessly, their eyes bloodshot, determined to erase their opponents from the world.
"Look at them. These people are nearly wiping out the young and strong of their own tribes in the fight for this oil well, but do they care? That's humanity!" Ares said, looking at Diana. "I am not the God of War; I am the God of Truth!"
"I could have killed you directly, but I changed my mind. I believe you are different from the other gods. You can see what those hypocritical gods cannot see. You can understand the essence of this vile species, humanity. So, Diana, join my ranks, and together, as my queen, we can rule this world. We can eradicate humanity and restore the world to its original state, forever!"
Ares waved his hand, and the surroundings plunged into an illusion. Countless towering trees sprang up, transforming the area into a scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Hearing this, Diana fell silent. Along the way, she had seen too much of humanity's inherent flaws. She had thought it was all due to the influence of Ares, the God of War.
She believed that if Ares was eliminated, everyone could return to a state of peace.
However, now, someone was revealing a cruel truth to her.
Humans didn't become this way because of the influence of the war god Ares, or rather, Ares only unleashed the evil within them.
This was undoubtedly a huge shock for the fledgling Diana. But for Lin Feng, who was listening on the side, it was useless. It was the same old theory about humans having original sin, which he didn't even want to hear anymore.
It was a typical scare tactic used by Western monotheistic religions.
However, in the eyes of a true Huaxia person, it was just laughable. Humans were the only intelligent beings in this world. What kind of insignificant evil god dared to judge humanity?
In the Huaxia lands, gods were meant to serve people. If you were told to make it rain, you had to make it rain. If you were told to bless childbirth, you had to bless childbirth. If you were told to bless promotions and wealth, you had to bless promotions and wealth.
If a god wasn't effective, it was considered light if no one worshiped them. If they encountered someone powerful, they would directly use cannons to blast them.
The land of China doesn't support idle gods!
You think it's easy to pass the civil service exam for immortals? Even the Jade Emperor had to constantly undergo reincarnation and arduous cultivation, experiencing suffering before succeeding.
This is the simple, down-to-earth view of divinity held by the people of Huaxia.
So, as far as Lin Feng was concerned, this whole setup was almost identical to the way fortune-telling swindlers operated. They'd start by telling you that you were in big trouble, that you were guilty of something, and then offer a solution. Otherwise, you'd have to pay up, or offer your faith.
They were all just making a profit off of human suffering!
And this Ares was truly indiscriminate, even willing to lay a hand on his own sister. But considering his father Zeus had slept with his grandmother, sisters, daughters, and even some male gods, some handsome men, and certain animals, it was all pretty much understandable.
The gods in Greek mythology were generally like that.
So, Ares inviting Diana to be his queen was perfectly understandable.
"Hold on a moment, you two!" Lin Feng suddenly interjected.
Both parties turned to look at Lin Feng. Ares, in particular, looked at the Asian man in the black uniform. To be exact, Lin Feng had been too low-profile before, making it impossible for him to notice.
"So, you're the war god Ares, huh? Do you know a bald guy named Kratos?" Lin Feng asked casually.
"I don't!" Ares replied, but when he heard the name, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine for some reason, as if the name held a very bad omen for him.
"You haven't become Ares's True Form yet because you haven't met that bald guy who taught you a harsh lesson, huh? What makes you look down on humans?" Lin Feng sneered.
He thought of the Olympian gods in a certain world, who were all wiped out by Kratos.
"I don't know what the situation is in your DC Universe, but this is the Marvel Universe, and humans weren't created by your Olympus!"
Lin Feng said.
He originally thought it was all just Diana's delusion, after all, they had already left the DC Universe, but who knew that this version of the war god Ares would still appear.
But it didn't matter. Since this war god Ares's goal was to destroy humanity and human civilization in order to achieve his goal of ruling the world, then he was an enemy.
And Lin Feng couldn't figure it out either. If you kill everyone, what are you going to rule?
But it seemed that this Ares probably didn't know how deep the water on Earth was. It was possible he was also separated from the DC Universe, just like Diana.
"You filthy humans, you should be proud to hear the most supreme secrets of this world, yet you dare to desecrate the gods?" Ares, the God of War, was shocked and enraged to see that Lin Feng didn't obediently prostrate himself at the feet of the gods and dared to resist.
Before he could finish speaking, with a wave of his hand, a pile of scrap iron in the distance flew high into the sky and turned into a spear, shooting towards Lin Feng.
In an instant, Diana reacted first. She directly held up her shield in front of Lin Feng and shouted, "Ares, I will never allow you to hurt my friend!"
Clang!
As soon as she finished speaking, the spear slammed directly onto the shield in her hand. The terrifying force shook out a shocking sound wave, instantly blasting Diana away.
Diana, who had not yet grasped love and justice, could not yet unleash the true power of Zeus within her.
