Chapter 171: Huge Consciousness Spreads Like Ocean Waves
After all, with their own abilities, although they could indeed charm gods, it wouldn't last long; their abilities ultimately had limits.
Therefore, to extend the time they could charm gods, they had to continue enhancing their magic energy.
Although the time they could charm gods was not long, it could at least achieve the desired effect. However, Arthurwas completely unaffected.
They couldn't even charm Arthur; given their current situation, it was impossible to control Arthur.
Therefore, what they needed to do now was to enhance their magic power, so that one day they could use some means to make Arthurobey their commands. After all, if a powerful human like Arthurcould be used by them, wouldn't they become the rulers of this World?
Thinking of this, they became even more excited and continued to immerse themselves in their research. Only then could they obtain everything they desired.
"You're right, sister, my current strength is far from enough. We're so beautiful, yet Arthurshows no reaction at all, preferring to stay with those gods."
"Those gods are uglier than the last, not even a fraction as good as us. How can such strength compare to ours? Although I can't make Arthursubmit to us yet."
"But I think, if we keep practicing like this, Arthurwill eventually be ours."
"Exactly, since you understand, I won't say more. For now, as long as we continue to strengthen our research into magic energy and master that skill to the extreme, Arthurwill eventually be ours."
"As for other matters, there's even less to say."
Just as the two sisters were still lost in their fantasies, a familiar voice came from afar.
"Yo, so serious, still researching your charming magic? It seems ever since Arthurdefeated you last time, you've really started to shape up."
"I thought you wouldn't care too much, after all, Arthur's strength is indeed very strong, and with your current abilities, he's very difficult to deal with."
"But honestly, I still feel a bit of sympathy for your situation, because I've encountered similar things before."
Indeed, the speaker was Loki. Because they were in the same place, just different locations, and they often cooperated, they could freely enter each other's residences, only needing to give advance notice.
Amora and Lorelai stopped what they were doing and looked at their long-unseen partner, feeling a bit confused as to why Loki would suddenly appear here.
Because their last collaboration was a long time ago, logically, there shouldn't be any contact between them. Yet now, Loki had directly barged into their palace without anyone announcing him, which made them feel very strange.
"Loki? Why are you here? Why do you have time to visit us today? You suddenly coming here surely isn't just to chat, is it?"
"Or do you have another mission that requires our cooperation to complete? It's been so long, and you're still the same, not even greeting us when you arrive, not even an announcement. Did you anger him again...?"
Amora said, her tone not accusatory, but with a hint of curiosity.
Logically, they shouldn't have any special relationship now.
Lorelai immediately added, "Are you here for my sister? Then I'll leave you two alone, I'll go out and wait for a bit?"
"But honestly, I haven't seen you in a long time. You two talk, I'll go out first."
Just as Lorelai was about to walk out of the laboratory, Loki suddenly called out to her.
"Wait, you stay here. I didn't come specifically for your sister this time, but for both of you."
"Oh? For both of us? Has my sister already stopped satisfying you? Do I have to be included too?"
"I thought you only wanted my sister, after all, every time you came before, you only looked for my sister and kept me out. I thought it would be the same this time."
Lorelai said this, her tone playful, but with a hint of reproach.
Although Loki often cooperated with Witch, this only concerned his sister and himself, and didn't involve her too much.
But this time, Loki even asked her to stay, which surprised her a little.
Amora, however, was a bit displeased and continued, "If you have something, just find me. Don't drag my sister into it, after all, she's still too young, it's not quite suitable."
At this moment, Loki looked confused, unable to understand what they were talking about for a while.
"What? What are you saying? What do you mean 'not suitable'? Do you know the purpose of my visit this time?"
"I don't know, but every time you come to me, which time isn't it...?"
"What isn't it?"
Amora looked at him with charming eyes, swaying her body as she walked to Loki's side and reached out to touch his face.
This made even Loki, a demon, struggle to control himself. After all, Amora herself was a Witch; even without using magic, just by looking into her eyes, he could be affected by her.
Soon, Loki couldn't hold on and was about to be charmed by Amora when her sister quickly spoke up: "Enough, sister, stop teasing him. Look at this big oaf, he's no fun at all."
Loki quickly regained his senses and immediately pulled away from Amora.
Because he suddenly remembered that both of them were Female Witches, and he could easily be affected by their abilities if he wasn't careful.
Plus, their looks and figures made it hard for people not to have ideas.
Seeing Loki regain consciousness, Amora walked away from him and returned to her spot, muttering, "Tsk, how boring, he won't even play. I wanted to see what kind of reaction you'd have, after all, I haven't tried this ability on you yet."
"I wonder if you'd obey me if you were charmed by me."
"Stop! I don't care what you do to others, but if you dare to touch me, that's no fun."
"Besides, I came to you this time with a key, not just to waste time."
Amora's spirits lifted, and she looked at Loki, continuing, "Alright, how boring. Then hurry up and tell me, what do you really want from us? But let me make it clear first, if it's that kind of thing, forget it, after all, my sister is still young."
"That kind of thing isn't suitable for her yet, and I think I'm enough."
"Sister, what are you saying? What is it, exactly?"
Loki looked helpless: "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. I'm not like she says. Besides, if it were that kind of thing, there's really no need."
"Haha, just kidding, lighten the mood, no need to be so tense, right?"
"And you've been here so long, you haven't said what you're here for. Tell us now, what kind of matter requires both of us sisters to get involved? If it's not serious, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Tsk, only you would think that."
"Alright, I'm not messing with you anymore. Actually, I came here to cooperate with you."
Hearing the word "cooperate," Amora immediately became serious: "Oh? Cooperate? Don't tell me it's about attacking another god again? But let me say this first, you know that last big battle, both of us sisters were injured."
"We're still in recovery, so fighting might be a bit difficult, otherwise we wouldn't be here researching our magic right now."
"And those gods are now being looked after by Arthur, so it won't be easy to touch them. I need to tell you this beforehand."
At the same time.
Arthurwas rarely alone, lying on the sofa, enveloped in a faint blue glow, a playful smile on his lips.
He knew that Loki and his ilk would certainly not give up.
But Loki and his little minions, in his eyes, were nothing more than insignificant mosquitoes, trying to bite a few small holes in his iron wall, completely meaningless.
Their threats, to him, were more like seasoning in life, adding flavor to mundane days.
"Loki, come on, bring your unwillingness and anger, I will be here, and with my strength, I will show you what despair is." Arthurmurmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with a desire for challenge and disdain.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind and was quickly replaced by a stronger urge—the desire to explore the unknown. He didn't want to waste time on boring waiting; for him, the entire Multiverse was the true playground.
So, Arthurclosed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate. His consciousness seemed to transform into an invisible hand, breaking through the shackles of space and time, traversing dimensional boundaries, and freely shuttling through countless parallel Universes.
He first arrived in a Universe where Tony Stark was a painter obsessed with art, and Captain Steve Rogers had become a pioneer of social movements. In this World, wars were fewer, and the cultural atmosphere was richer.
Then, he jumped to another Universe, where the Torch Man Hulk had surprisingly become children's favorite cartoon character, bringing joy rather than fear to the World.
Just as Arthurwas about to give up and prepare to return, he suddenly encountered a powerful resistance that blocked his path.
It was a spacetime barrier made of unknown power, very solid, as if warning him not to approach. Arthurraised an eyebrow, a smile of interest appearing at the corner of his mouth. A challenge? This was exactly what he liked.
He mobilized all the energy in his body, that power surging within him like a tide, rushing towards the barrier.
After some effort, the barrier finally let out a faint cracking sound, and a tiny crack appeared.
Through the crack, Arthursaw Worlds completely different from the Marvel World, yet strangely familiar.
There, Superman, in his classic red and blue suit, drew a blue trajectory across the sky;
Batman, in the dark night of Gotham, guarded the city as a Shadow;
Flash, with speed beyond light, shuttled through the cracks of time;
And Wonder Woman, with her unparalleled strength and grace, protected justice and peace.
"Is it the DC Universe?" Arthurwhispered to himself, a glint of excitement in his eyes, "What a great discovery, it seems my playground is about to expand."
In the endless void, Arthur's consciousness, like a phantom, traversed between countless DC parallel Universes.
Each Universe had a different fate and story. He saw the twisted smile of the Laughing Batman blooming under Gotham's night sky;
Witnessed Joker dancing on the edge of chaos, weaving a melody of sin with madness;
And also saw the World under the rule of the Injustice League, twisted and struggling. But all of this, to him, was just scenery on a journey.
Arthur's goal was to find a place that truly interested him, a Universe that could become his playground.
"I'll choose here." Arthur's heart stirred, his gaze fixed on a particular DC Universe, where unknown fun and challenges lay hidden.
He gently exhaled, as if making an important decision, then his body transformed into a ray of light, traversing time and space, and suddenly descended beneath the blue sky of an unfamiliar Planet.
The moment he landed, Arthur's vast consciousness spread like a wave, quickly covering the entire Planet.
His perception pierced through the clouds, delved deep into the surface, reaching the secret corners hidden deep within the World.
Among the massive amount of information, an underground laboratory located deep within a vast country caught his attention.
This place was extremely heavily guarded, and even the smallest details exuded an unusual atmosphere. Deep within the laboratory, there was a room as sealed off as if it were isolated from the World, so tightly secured that even the cunningest fox could not escape.
In the room, a woman's figure was faintly visible. She was bone-thin, her hair short and messy, her eyes devoid of their former sparkle, leaving only endless emptiness and despair.
The identity of this woman was a mystery to others, but to Arthur, she was like the brightest star in the night sky, impossible to ignore.
"I found you, this is my first fun." Arthur's lips curved into a meaningful smile, a smile that held both the excitement of finding a new toy and the anticipation of the game about to begin.
As his words fell, an invisible force gently rippled, and the prison door opened silently, as if compelled by this force.
Chapter 172 A prophecy hidden in my heart
Subdue.
Light streamed into the dim room, illuminating the woman's pale face and signaling the imminent arrival of a new era—an era dominated by Arthur, full of unknowns and variables.
"Are you ready, my lady?" Arthur's voice echoed in the empty space, both a question and a declaration.
And this imprisoned woman, her fate, and the balance of the entire DC Universe, would undergo tremendous changes due to Arthur's arrival.
...
In the distant DC Universe, an unprecedented legend was quietly unfolding.
Arthur, the mysterious young man possessing the Phoenix Force, embarked on a journey to find truth and salvation.
His target was a short-haired woman, Kara, a Supergirl no one had ever seen, imprisoned in a secret research Base in Mao Xiong Country.
As night fell, stars dotted the sky, and Arthur, like a meteor, streaked across the night sky, silently hovering above the Base.
Inside the Base, lights were ablaze, and the busy figures of researchers cast long Shadows under the light, until Arthur's appearance broke the stillness.
"Where on Earth did he come from?" a researcher whispered in surprise, a remark that immediately caused a chain reaction in the crowd, everyone stopping their work to stare at the sudden figure.
Outside the Base, the army, already on high alert, quickly sprang into action, artillery roaring, tanks like a torrent of steel rushing towards the uninvited guest in the sky.
Arthursneered, a blazing Phoenix Fire igniting around him, as dazzling as the Sun.
The metal shells were fragile and vulnerable before him, and wave after wave of attacks vanished with a wave of his hand.
Those inside the Base witnessed this scene, filled with uncontrollable fear alongside their shock, their eyes trembling as they looked at the man high above, like a deity.
The news spread like wildfire to the Mao Xiong Country's high command, and tense discussions filled the conference room, a single name—Arthur—looming over everyone's hearts.
The decision-makers urgently mobilized more armed forces, vowing to completely eliminate this sudden threat.
Soon, the sky was filled with dense fighter jets, like a swarm of buzzing bees, flutter towards Arthurwith deadly threats.
But with a gentle wave of his hand, he unleashed the Phoenix Force, a dazzling light enveloping the fighter jets, like a black hole devouring light, and in an instant, the squadron vanished without a trace.
Following that, a dense barrage of missiles rained down, attempting to overwhelm Arthurwith sheer numbers, but he merely smiled faintly.
With a flick of his fingers, the missiles exploded in mid-air, transforming into dazzling Fire lotuses, then returning to silence.
The ground shook violently from the explosions, cracks spreading, and the secret laboratory hidden deep underground gradually revealed itself.
In this chaos, in a cell on the lowest 420th floor, a slender, disheveled woman—Kara—saw a faint glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Through the light streaming in through the cracks, she saw the person standing in the air under the moonlight.
Arthur, that tall figure, appeared to her like an Angel sent by God, traversing the darkness, solely to bring her freedom.
In the complex, ever-changing, and colorful World of the DC Universe, the legend of Superman had long been blurred, leaving no real trace on this blue Planet.
In this parallel World, Superman did not arrive on Earth; instead, he was intercepted by Zod prematurely, his genes extracted, ultimately turning to dust.
Fate is always full of twists and miracles, like a shooting star occasionally streaking across the night sky.
Another Kryptonian orphan—Supergirl Kara—unexpectedly landed on this familiar yet strange land.
But what awaited her was not flowers and applause, but the cold laboratory hidden in the Shadows of Mao Xiong Country, and the endless imprisonment and cruel experiments that followed, which became the beginning of her new life and the inescapable cage.
Kara's eyes were full of confusion and surprise, like a traveler lost in the night.
"Who is this person? Why does he possess such superhuman power, appearing like a god descended from the heavens? And stranger still, why would he save me? Is it out of sympathy for the weak, or does he have other intentions?"
Despite her heart full of questions, when Arthurextended his hand, she seemed to see a glimmer of warmth and trust in his firm gaze, like the first ray of Sun after a cold winter.
She unhesitatingly grasped this sole hope, allowing herself to be carried by this sudden courage from her place of captivity, flying towards the sky of freedom.
Behind them, the angry roars of the Mao Xiong Country guards gradually faded into powerless echoes in the void.
They could only watch as Arthurheld Kara, soaring through the clouds like an eagle, until they became a distant speck of light on the horizon, leaving only anger and unwillingness.
Arthurcarried Kara through the clouds, over countless mountains, finally landing on the other side of the blue Planet, a secluded place far from crowds and untouched by modern civilization—a small island surrounded by golden beaches.
The Sun here shone unreservedly, like a generous gift from nature. The golden sand stretched into the distance, the Water was crystal clear, and the warm Sun seemed to have the power to heal all wounds.
Standing on the soft sand, Kara slowly closed her eyes, allowing the long-lost Sun to gently envelop her.
Every ray of light was like a loving mother from the Universe, caressing her almost withered body, which had been imprisoned for so long, in the gentlest way, dispelling accumulated fatigue and awakening the dormant Kryptonian power within her.
Her skin became smooth and delicate again, her previously pale cheeks regained their rosiness, and her dazzling golden hair shimmered in the breeze, like the radiance of the Sun.
A long-lost and genuine smile appeared on Kara's lips, a joy of rebirth and an anticipation of the future.
"You... you pulled me out of the abyss of despair." When Kara opened her eyes again and looked at Arthur, her deep blue eyes were full of gratitude, like scattered stars on the deep sea at night, shimmering with a longing for life.
"In that cold, endlessly dark cage, I almost believed that freedom was just an unreachable dream. It was you who broke my chains and gave me a second chance at life."
Arthursmiled faintly, his eyes both gentle and firm: "Each of us, in this vast Universe, is but a lonely star. But when two stars meet, they can illuminate each other's World."
His eyes were as deep as still Water, reflecting not only Kara's figure under the moonlight but also seeming to contain a gentle Universe. His affectionate gaze was enough to melt the hardest winter frost, slowly dissolving the indifference and barriers between people.
His words were soft and lingering, like a spring breeze caressing the face; every word was like a love poem written deep in the heart, refined by the soul, transforming into moving songs that gently fell upon Kara's heart lake, stirring layers of gentle ripples and waves of love.
On a night of thunder and heavy rain, Arthurdescended like a god, carving a path to survival from the chaos.
He bravely rescued Kara from the surging waves.
At that moment, he was not just a hero, but a lighthouse guiding the way.
He pierced all the darkness and despair with his light, illuminating the path of hope for Kara.
From then on, Kara's heart, like a quietly blooming bud, slowly opened under Arthur's careful nurturing.
The former caution and reserve gradually disappeared in the face of this deep affection, replaced by unprecedented trust and deep reliance.
Their island was like a paradise lost outside the World, where time became blurred, leaving only countless sweet and joyful memories intertwined.
At dawn, the two walked hand in hand on the golden beach, the fine sand sparkling in the morning light, like a path strewn with stars;
In the evening, they snuggled in the Shadow of a coconut tree, heads resting together, gazing up at the starry sky, every star seemingly whispering their secrets.
The air was filled with warmth and romance, creating a carefree dream paradise belonging only to the two of them.
In this paradise, Arthurmeticulously understood everything about Kara, with deep soul-level communication and various forms of intimate contact between them.
Every touch, every embrace, silently left deep imprints, connecting their souls more closely.
Their lives were often filled with conflict, like the collision of two Worlds, intense and frequent, such struggles often lasting for days, from night to Day, and then from Day to night.
Kara, this woman with superhuman recovery ability, could always quickly regain vitality under the Sun.
Her strength and resilience both surprised and impressed Arthur, and made him feel that he had met a rare opponent and partner in his life.
During these dreamlike days, Arthuractivated the power of the [Thought Superman Template], a legendary power almost reaching that of a god, thrilling him.
He "683" knew that Thought Superman was an existence that could transcend time and space, capable of freely traversing every corner of the Universe.
Although he had only integrated one percent of the ability now, Arthurcould already feel the powerful, convention-defying strength hidden within him.
It was a control and insight beyond common sense.
Looking at Kara's perfect figure, like a work of art, Arthur's eyes became even firmer, and his heart filled with infinite anticipation for the future.
"As long as we keep fighting more and talking more, this integration with Thought Superman will deepen," he thought to himself, full of anticipation for this unknown power.
Every time he held Kara's soft, warm body, Arthurcould feel the indescribable tacit understanding and connection between them, a feeling he particularly cherished.
He held her tightly, as if to engrave this moment of happiness forever deep in his soul, and whispered excitedly:
"Let's go to the DC Universe first, my choice was truly right!"
His tone was full of longing for the upcoming adventure and unwavering confidence in victory. Then, Arthureffortlessly lifted Kara, as if holding the most precious treasure in the entire World, embarking on a new journey towards hope and dreams.
In that vast and profound abyssal Universe, the blue Planetwas like a brilliant blue sapphire set on black velvet, quiet and peaceful.
However, this tranquility was broken by a sudden, shocking Shadow—a gigantic, unprecedented spaceship, its size awe-inspiring.
It hung silently at the edge of the horizon, like an aerial city built with future technology, its surface gleaming with a cold and captivating silver light.
Like an uninvited visitor in the Universe, silently observing this vibrant blue Planet....
The Master of this spaceship was the famous general in Kryptonian history—General Zod.
His flagship traversed countless star systems, carrying the mission and wishes of an ancient race.
Crossing the distant starry sky for a clear and firm goal.
Zod harbored a prophecy in his heart, about Superman—
The child chosen by the stars, the hope for Kryptonianrevival.
And within him might be hidden the genetic code, the key to unlocking Kryptonian destiny.
In a meticulously planned, power-demonstrating space chase, Zod swiftly intercepted Superman, hoping to find the long-lost 5.5 code from this last son of hope.
But things did not go as planned; the code seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving the battle-hardened general with an unprecedented sense of failure and anger.
This frustration prompted him to turn his attention to another possibility, Kara, another Kryptonian orphan stranded on the blue Planet; perhaps the crucial answer lay hidden in her bloodline.
Chapter 173: Reaching the Depths of Linghun
Zod stood by the spaceship's panoramic window, gazing at the approaching blue Planet, his surface calm, but his eyes surging with hidden currents.
His plan went far beyond this; he wanted to use this opportunity to declare the Kryptonian's existence and will to the entire Blue Planet.
Using advanced electromagnetic wave communication technology, his voice pierced the night sky, resonating through every continent, every city, and every family's radio receiver on the Blue Planet. It was a powerful force that could not be ignored, both cold and irresistible:
"People of the Blue Planet, listen to me, I am General Zodfrom Kryptonian. From this moment on, your World will belong to Kryptonian. I will lead you into a new era. Whether you are willing or not, your fate is already tightly bound to Kryptonian."
These words exploded like thunder, shaking the hearts of the Blue Planet's people, causing widespread panic and unease, as if a Shadow cloud had enveloped the entire World.
But amidst the despair and fear, two resolute figures stepped forward: Arthurand Kara, their appearance like Fire in the Shadow night.
Upon learning of Zod's declaration of invasion, the two did not hesitate, clasping hands and transforming into two streaks of light that pierced the night sky, heading straight for the core of Zod's flagship.
Facing Zod, Kara's eyes burned with rage, a determination to defend her dignity and protect her home.
"Zod, your blindness and arrogance have made you lose your reason. The Blue Planet is a miracle full of life. Your desire to turn it into a replica of Kryptonian is a trampling of the essence of life and a great insult to countless civilizations."
Her words were firm and powerful, filled with deep affection for this second home and a determination to defend it to the death.
Zod's face twisted with anger, yet a hint of disdainful smile lingered at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking Kara for being too foolish. "Kara, have you forgotten that Kryptonian blood flows in your veins? Your roots, your true belonging, will always be the land of Kryptonian."
Arthurcould no longer bear it. Zod's arrogance and provocation made him completely erupt. The power accumulated within him surged out like an enraged phoenix, and the powerful energy fluctuations made the surrounding void tremble, as if time itself had stopped.
"Shut up, Zod! You talk too much! You're delaying my enjoyment of life. I'll just blow you up!"
Arthur's voice echoed like thunder in the void.
As soon as he finished speaking, before his voice had completely faded, he suddenly shot out from stillness like the brightest meteor in the night sky, transforming into a Shadow, flying out like lightning. The surrounding air instantly solidified, then was torn apart by the powerful aura emanating from him, creating clear, small ripples. These ripples spread out from around him, like waves generated when a stone is thrown into a lake, both shocking and spectacular.
This sudden energy fluctuation, like an invisible hand gently clenching, caused a sensation of oppression in everyone's chest, making even breathing heavy. An indescribable tension filled the air, and even tiny particles in the air seemed to tremble under Arthur's irresistible will.
In that instant, Arthurhad silently appeared near Zod. His speed was so fast that even the keenest eyes could not discern how he traversed space. Then, his clenched fist, as if possessed by an ancient war god, gathered endless power, and with the force of thunder, violently smashed into Zod's sturdy chest. This strike was not just a collision of forces, but more like a fierce confrontation between two primal powers, followed by a deafening roar that echoed through the sky.
Zod's body was struck by this punch like a kite with a broken string, flung far into the sky by an irresistible force. He traced a long and desperate trajectory in the air, finally crashing heavily into a solitary mountain like a meteorite. The mountain could not withstand the Impact and collapsed with a roar, accompanied by dust flying everywhere and rolling rubble, forming a desolate scene reminiscent of the end of the World. In the dust, a bottomless pit appeared.
This scene was shocking, like the most magnificent yet cruel chapter in nature, with mountains collapsing, the earth splitting, and the sky changing color, the aftershocks lingering. The entire World seemed to fall into a brief silence at this moment, and all creatures held their breath.
Just after the brief calm, Arthur, as if controlling time and space, once again crossed that seemingly insurmountable distance, instantly standing before Zod again. Every one of his movements seemed to challenge the limits of physics, tearing the surrounding air and emitting a piercing and urgent sound, containing both the frenzy of energy and the lament of space.
This time, Arthur's fist was no longer empty; it was enveloped by a surging red energy. This power churned like an angry sea, instantly engulfing the sky, dyeing it blood-red, as if the ancient mythological duel between gods and demons was about to unfold. This scene sent a chill from the bottom of their hearts to all onlookers. The World seemed to lose its color, leaving only that terrifying red, foretelling the coming of the end, making people shudder, and even time seemed to stop, awaiting the final judgment.
Every time Arthurpunched, the earth would tremble, as if experiencing a series of miniature earthquakes. Cracks spread out from beneath his feet, crisscrossing like a spider web, demonstrating the submission of natural laws before absolute power. Plants snapped under the Impact, and sand and stones were thrown high, scattering like raindrops in a storm. Every piece of land, every leaf in nature cried out under the devastation of this power, witnessing a battle beyond human imagination.
Zod, this seasoned veteran, was already scarred and battered under Arthur's continuous fierce attacks. His armor, once a symbol of glory and protection, appeared incredibly fragile under these successive Impacts of power. Every strike from Arthurshattered this proud armor, metal fragments flying everywhere, like autumn leaves falling, quietly lying in the dust, silently narrating the unspeakable pain and torment his Master was enduring.
Under the physical pain and mental shock, Zod felt an unprecedented fear and confusion for the first time: "Who exactly is this guy? How can he possess such an illogical and powerful force that can shake heaven and earth?" This question was not only a reflection on his own failure but also a shock to his soul. Even though Zod had experienced countless battles, facing such power, he couldn't help but feel awe.
22:52 36.0%
From deep within Zod's throat erupted a deafening roar, his voice filled with unquestionable pride and defiance:
"I am a born warrior!" These words seemed to pierce the clouds, echoing between heaven and earth, making everyone who heard them involuntarily tremble.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes, attempting to adapt to the unfamiliar sunlight of this strange Planet—the Blue Planet. The warm and unfamiliar light, like a newly met friend, gently bathed his skin.
Surprisingly, as the Kryptonian's son, Zod's body was bathed in this golden sunlight, he clearly felt that his Kryptonian cells, under the sun's rays, were rapidly evolving and growing, like ancient power being awakened.
The powerful energy within Zod was awakened, his entire body's blood boiled, and every muscle was filled with unprecedented strength. This sudden change filled Zodwith an uncontrollable excitement.
He felt his power continuously soaring, like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon, ready to spread its wings and fly.
The unwillingness and humiliation from his previous defeat now seemed to be ignited by a great Fire, burning fiercely, incinerating all negative emotions completely.
"I will kill you! Don't forget, I am General Zod of Kryptonian!"
He roared, this was not just a threat to his enemy, but also a defense of his own dignity.
An irrepressible urge surged within Zod, the honor of a warrior, making him unwilling to admit defeat, deciding to fight with all his might, challenging the power that overwhelmed him.
But reality was exceptionally cruel. Just as Zod mustered his courage, preparing to unleash a punch imbued with Kryptonian power, Arthur—this seemingly ordinary person with astonishing power—had already anticipated his movement.
Arthur's fist, wrapped in scorching red energy, met Zod's not-yet-fully-unleashed counterattack without hesitation, like a meteorite, directly striking it.
The moment the two forces collided, the air seemed to tear apart, emitting crackling sounds.
Arthurmercilessly pressed Zod's head, as firm as iron tongs, then, punches like a downpour rained down, each carrying astonishing power, heavily smashing against Zod's defense.
With each successive heavy blow, the earth seemed to groan, the ground constantly trembled, and cracks spread like a spider web, bearing witness to this battle of vastly unequal strength.
Zod's heart, which had just begun to shine and was full of ambition, was like a small seedling that had just emerged, full of yearning for the unknown World.
However, under the continuous heavy punches, this small seedling was mercilessly ravaged by the storm. Each strike was like a hammer hitting a tender leaf, making it tremble uncontrollably, gradually losing its vitality.
Until the last shred of perseverance was completely shattered, leaving only a dead silence.
His body, once an impregnable fortress, now swayed like a small boat in the raging storms and waves of the deep Universe.
This was not just a physical blow, but also an uncontrollable force and anger from the distant stars.
They intertwined, forming invisible chains that tightly bound Zod, slowly draining his will and resistance.
Time slowly passed, and Zod's figure gradually blurred, like a mountain in the morning mist, its outline becoming more distant.
The surrounding air warped due to this heavy energy, and light danced within it, refracting strange colors.
Finally, in a suffocating moment, Zod's body vanished, leaving only a wisp of smoke slowly rising,
Like the last sigh of a weary traveler, gently dissipating over this land he had once been curious about but ultimately despaired of.
The clamor of battle gradually subsided, and the Worldreturned to calm. Only a faint and imperceptible tremor remained in the air, the lingering aftershocks of the battle, low and prolonged, like an elegy for an ancient war, telling a story of bravery and defeat, lingering for a long time.
In this tranquility, however, lay a chilling power.
"General Zod!!" This roar was like thunder in the Shadownight, shaking the heart of everyone present, and making the surrounding air seem to freeze for a moment. An ominous premonition quietly grew in everyone's heart.
Zod's subordinates, these battle-hardened warriors who had experienced countless wars, witnessed their seemingly indestructible leader collapse in this battle without warning, like a great tree struck by lightning, instantly broken.
Their eyes were wide, filled with shock and despair. Tears and sweat mixed together, silently sliding down their faces, leaving clear traces—a testament to their sorrow and powerlessness.
Sorrow, like a sharp knife, fiercely cut their hearts; anger, like a volcano deep underground, hot magma churning within, ready to erupt at any moment, burning all injustice to ashes.
But in this despair and ruin, they could not find an outlet for their emotions.
As for Kara, this beautiful and powerful female hero, her eyes now flickered with a complex and unusual light, like the brightest star in the night sky, holding both hope for the future and helplessness towards reality.
She gazed deeply at the man who had just been dancing with her under the stars, light as the wind, gentle as moonlight, but in a blink of an eye had become a fearless war god, standing on the smoke-filled battlefield.
Her feelings were more than just admiration; they were an unspeakable pride and respect.
The man's bravery in the face of enemies, his determination to stop at nothing for justice, made her feel as if she saw a power that transcended the stars and reached the end of the Universe.
This power was enough to break the shackles of fate and write an Eternity legend.
Amidst these complex emotional fluctuations, Arthur, the hero who single-handedly changed the tide of battle, his eyes cold as ice, sharply swept over the faces of Zod's subordinates.
That gaze seemed to penetrate all hypocrisy and cowardice, reaching deep into their souls.
"Don't worry, I'm coming to deal with you now. You can't escape."
These words had no emotional fluctuations, cold as iron. Every word seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, foretelling an unavoidable final judgment, making people tremble involuntarily.
Zod's subordinates faced this sudden verdict, their hearts filled with fear, despair, and anger. These strong emotions intertwined, like an impenetrable net, almost suffocating them.
Their legs felt heavy as if filled with lead, their minds blank, unable to even conjure a thought of resistance or escape.
In that instant, Arthur's figure, like a ghost in the forest, silently appeared among them, moving so fast that people couldn't even blink.
...
He slowly raised his hand, with an indescribable elegance and calmness in his movement, and lightly snapped his fingers. This seemingly casual action, however, triggered the most shocking change between heaven and earth in the next moment.
Chapter 174 Not Only an Excellent Warrior
Snap!
Though the soft sound was faint, it was like the first roar at the beginning of the Universe, the start of disaster and new life. In an instant, red energy surged from Arthur's fingertips like a raging tide.
It was an ancient and powerful force, seemingly from the dawn of the Universe, containing the will of both destruction and creation. This energy transformed into an unstoppable torrent, sweeping over everything and dyeing the surroundings blood-red.
It was like the fires of the apocalypse, carrying the power to destroy everything, mercilessly devouring all of Zod's remaining subordinates. Even their massive spaceship, which they were so proud of and which had once led them to conquer stars, trembled and warped in this energy, finally disappearing with a loud bang, leaving only a lingering Shadow that dissipated into the boundless Universe.
Wherever this terrifying energy reached, even space trembled, cracks appeared in the void, and time became blurred, as if the entire Universe was mourning the end of this moment.
In a blink of an eye, all the clamor and resistance subsided into silence, leaving only the lingering warmth of battle in the air.
Kara's gaze pierced through the silence, fixed on Arthur, her eyes gleaming with unconcealed astonishment. Standing before her was the most glorious hero in Kryptonian history, yet he was now like an opponent easily defeated in a children's game. At this moment, a complex emotion surged within Kara, a mix of awe and deep admiration, which lingered for a long time.
"Arthur, your demeanor is unmatched. That calm composure and earth-shattering power make my admiration surge like a tide. My... my feelings for you have deeply permeated my bones; my love is profound." Her words were like a clear spring in the mountains, each word sincere and full of passion, softly echoing in the air.
Arthurslowly turned, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, which seemed to see through everything. He softly said, "Kara, my feelings are the same as yours. Your bravery and beauty have already left an indelible mark on my Heart." His voice was soft yet firm, like the spring sunshine, gently enveloping Kara.
Around them, a delicate yet intense emotion quietly spread, forming an invisible connection. Arthurgazed at Kara with deep affection, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He then eagerly took her hand, and the two ascended into the sky together, flying towards that distant, secluded island. There, a journey filled with passion, power, and tenderness was about to begin.
From the first ray of morning sun to the starry night, and then to the dawn of the next day illuminating the Earth again, their figures intertwined and collided on this isolated island, as if time and space had become blurred.
Every punch, every leap, was a profound mark of their intertwined emotions and destinies, a silent ode to their deep relationship.
Facing such high-intensity, almost endless combat, anyone else would have collapsed long ago.
But Kara was different. As Supergirl, her body was far more resilient than an ordinary person's. Not only could she endure such extreme training,
but under continuous sun exposure, her Kryptonianbloodline was silently strengthening, and her body was becoming even tougher.
Under Arthur's guidance, this contest became a crucible for Kara's growth. Arthurunreservedly imparted his many years of combat experience and skills,
patiently guiding Kara to master various complex tactics and advanced skills,
allowing her strength to make a qualitative leap.
Days and nights passed; half a month slipped away in sweat and laughter, as if in an instant.
This period of high-intensity training not only significantly boosted Kara's strength,
but also unknowingly brought Arthur's integration with the [Thought Superman Template] to an unprecedented 36.5%,
which meant he had made substantial progress in both power and wisdom.
However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a sudden piece of news, like a dark cloud, descended, breaking the original peace and plans.
"Who would have thought that even Supergirl would have relatives visiting!!!" Arthursaid with a wry smile.
"What's wrong, my dear?" At this moment, Kara walked over.
The two stood by the sea, bathed in the sunlight.
"Kara, I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do. I'll be back soon." Arthursaid earnestly.
"Okay, no matter what you do, I will support you." Kararesponded with a serious expression.
"Hmm, I'll be back very soon."
Arthurnodded seriously.
...I'll come back when your relatives leave.
As for now, there's no need to waste time.
Arthurthought about where to go next to enjoy life.
"Since I've come to the DC Universe, this place must also be visited."
Sunlight pierced through thin clouds, scattering across the shimmering sea, gilding this journey with gold. The salty sea breeze blew across a young man's face. His name was Arthur, a stranger who had accidentally arrived in the DC and Marvel Universes. He wore a simple yet technologically advanced black tight-fitting suit, his eyes filled with both curiosity for the unknown and determination in the face of challenges.
Not long ago, Arthurhad just helped the Superman family thwart a conspiracy in Metropolis. Supergirl Kara was a bit tired after the battle, but her smile was still warm. "Arthur, thank you. You also need to be careful and rest well," Kara said. Arthurnodded in response: "Don't worry, Kara, you also recover your strength, and wait for my good news when I return."
Bidding farewell to Kara, Arthur's Heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, for he was about to journey to a legendary place—the Amazon island, home to an all-female warrior society. There lived a legendary hero, who was not only a symbol of justice but also the embodiment of power and wisdom—Wonder Woman Diana.
The boat slowly approached a lush green island. The natural scenery on the island was pristine and beautiful, and tall temples were faintly visible in the distance, like a fairyland on Earth. As Arthurstepped onto this land, he felt an ancient and mysterious power permeating the air.
"Welcome to Amazon Island, stranger." A majestic yet melodious voice sounded behind him. Arthurturned around and saw a tall woman in golden armor, her eyes deep and bright, her dark hair flowing in the wind. It was Wonder Woman Diana. The moment she appeared, it was as if a goddess had descended to the mortal World, inspiring involuntary reverence.
"I am Arthur, a traveler from afar." Arthurpolitely introduced himself, bowing slightly to Diana, demonstrating his World-spanning cultivation. "I am here to learn your strength, and how to use it to protect this World."
Diana looked at Arthurfor a while, seeing sincerity and determination in his eyes. "Your courage is commendable, Arthur," she said with a smile, "Then, let me take you to meet our sisters."
Arthurfollowed Diana through the dense jungle to an open area where Amazon female warriors in various armors were gathered, practicing different skills. Swords flashed, arrows flew, and each skill demonstrated astonishing power and grace.
Arthur's arrival caused quite a stir. These female warriors stopped their training and cast curious glances at him. They were not as wary as outsiders might be, but rather full of welcome and interest, perhaps due to Diana's introduction, or perhaps because of Arthur's own aura—his well-defined face, with an exotic air not belonging to this place, yet exuding an indomitable will, coupled with his modern-looking equipment, made him particularly striking.
"Sisters, this is Arthur. He comes from a distant place and wishes to learn our combat techniques." Diana introduced him to the female warriors, her voice clear and resonant, echoing across the training ground.
Arthur's gaze quickly swept over the group of tall figures.
He marveled in his Heart: "As expected of Amazon female warriors, each one is so beautiful! What's even more amazing is that there are only women here, no men!"
"They've never seen men since childhood!"
"It's completely a World of women!"
Hearing this, the female warriors gathered around. Some gave him friendly smiles, others curiously examined his equipment, and some even directly challenged Arthurto a match to see his abilities.
Facing these brave Amazon female warriors, Arthurfelt no tension; instead, he showed a confident smile. "I am honored, and I accept the challenge," he said, his tone devoid of arrogance, but full of respect and a desire for exchange.
In the following days, Arthurand the Amazon female warriors engaged in multiple contests. Whether it was sword fighting, archery competitions, or hand-to-hand combat, he displayed strong adaptability and combat wisdom. Every dodge, every counterattack, demonstrated his understanding and innovation of different fighting styles, earning the praise of the female warriors.
As the sun set, Arthurstood amidst a cheering group of female warriors, sweat dripping down his strong arms, but a brilliant smile was on his face. At this moment, he not only felt the clash and enhancement of power, but more importantly, he found a sense of belonging there, a friendship and trust that transcended time and space.
"Thank you, Diana, and all the Amazon female warriors." Arthursaid sincerely, "I have learned a lot, not just combat skills, but also unity, courage, and love. I promise to use this power for justice, to protect everyone who needs help."
Diana nodded, smiling as she looked at him, her eyes full of approval. "We believe you, Arthur. Now, you are our friend. Whenever and wherever you need us, we will stand by you."
Thus, Arthur's experience on Amazon Island not only brought a qualitative leap in his strength but also found a new direction in his Heart. On the road ahead, whether it's fighting the powerful Titans in the DC Universe or facing unknown enemies with Marvel heroes, Arthuris ready, with an even more determined stride, to embark on that endless heroic path.
As night deepened, Amazon Island was illuminated by the gentle moonlight, and the entire island seemed to be immersed in tranquility.
A serene and sacred atmosphere permeated the air. After the training, the Amazon female warriors gathered around the bonfire, eating and chatting. Arthurnaturally became the center of attention. He conversed cheerfully, recounting his strange experiences of traversing Universes and his stories of fighting alongside various superheroes. The female warriors listened with great interest, occasionally exclaiming and laughing, making the atmosphere lively and warm.
But in this joyful atmosphere, Wonder Woman Diana's mood was somewhat complex. She sat on the other side of the bonfire, silently gazing at Arthur, a subtle emotion stirring in her Heart. As the Amazon Princess, she was accustomed to being the center of attention, but now Arthur's arrival seemed to unintentionally steal her spotlight. She couldn't help but think to herself: "I met Arthurfirst, so why do I feel like I've lost something important now?" This inexplicable feeling made her uncomfortable, yet she couldn't articulate it.
Arthur, amidst a group of beautiful women, indeed felt very comfortable, but his Heart remained clear. He noticed the subtle change in Diana's mood; her eyes, usually full of power and warmth, now seemed to hide a hint of imperceptible loss. He realized that while the Amazonfemale warriors were friendly and open to strangers, Diana, as their leader, might have deeper thoughts and emotions. So, after telling a lighthearted story, Arthurskillfully shifted the topic to Diana, praising her bravery in battle and her dedication to preserving Amazonian culture, successfully redirecting everyone's attention back to Diana.
"Actually, everything today is thanks to Diana. It was she who brought me into this mysterious and powerful World, giving me the opportunity to learn Amazonian combat techniques." Arthursaid sincerely, his gaze gently meeting Diana's, as if silently expressing his understanding and gratitude.
Hearing Arthur's praise, Diana's lips curved slightly upward, and her previous jealousy slowly dissipated. She felt Arthur's thoughtfulness and subtlety. This consideration from the traveler from another Worldwarmed her Heart. "Arthur, you are not only an excellent warrior, but you also have a keen and considerate Heart." Diana stood up and walked to Arthur's side. The two exchanged smiles in the firelight. At that moment, an unspoken understanding seemed to flow between them.
Afterward, Diana suggested that everyone participate in an ancient Amazonian tradition—a round dance ritual—to celebrate the arrival of their new friend. Music began, and the female warriors held hands, forming a circle. Arthurwas enthusiastically invited to join. Following the rhythm of the music, they danced lightly, the firelight illuminating happy faces, and the distance between them gradually closed in the dance. In this moment, all barriers melted away in the warm flames, leaving only pure friendship and trust.
When the dance ended, Arthurand Diana sat side by side by the bonfire, their conversation growing deeper. Arthurconfessed his worries and hopes for the future to Diana, such as how to find his place in two Worlds and his sense of responsibility to protect the innocent. Diana, in turn, spoke of the burdens of being an Amazon Princess and her longing for peace. The two experienced an unprecedented spiritual resonance.
Chapter 175 Even if I die, I want to see the outside world
"Arthur, remember, no matter where your path takes you, the most important thing is to maintain the purity and righteousness of your heart. You have proven your worth, not just as a warrior, but as a trustworthy friend." Diana's words were full of encouragement and expectation, warming Arthur's heart.
As night deepened, the bonfire slowly extinguished, and the Amazon island returned to tranquility. Arthurlay on the soft grass, looking up at the stars, his heart filled with anticipation for future adventures. He understood that although his encounter with Diana and the other Amazon Warriors was just a stop on his journey, this experience would become the most precious part of his memory, giving him the courage and strength to continue moving forward.
More importantly… the Amazon Warriors were too charming!
Arthursighed with emotion.
Each and every one of them could be described as all-natural, additive-free!
Both mentally and physically, they were cleaner than the last!
And perhaps because of their divine lineage.
These Amazon Warriors, whether in terms of figure or appearance, could be considered top-tier!
Most importantly, don't forget, they are all Amazon Warriors!
Every one of them was agile and graceful!
Full of power!
Completely different from those delicate girls, it was a whole new feeling!
It made one want to conquer them!
"The strong only defeat the strong!" Arthurthought to himself.
And… Amazon has many formidable Amazon Warriors!
Conquering them one by one would surely be a different experience!
Just on this peaceful night, a sudden crisis was quietly approaching, foreshadowing the unprecedented challenges that Arthur, Diana, and the Amazon Warriors were about to face. Their friendship and belief would be put to the most severe test in the upcoming battle. But Arthurwas ready, taking everything he had learned from Amazon and the deep friendship he had forged with Diana, he unhesitatingly threw himself into the next adventure, guarding the peace and justice of both Worlds.
"For me, being able to greet a new day with the morning light of Amazon is more meaningful than any sleep," Arthursaid sincerely, his eyes earnest, making it impossible to doubt his words.
The two continued to stand side by side, enjoying this rare tranquility. Arthurnoticed a hint of worry still hidden between Diana's brows. He gently asked, "What are you worried about, Diana? Is it last night's conversation, or is something else bothering you?"
Diana shook her head slightly, then seemed to hesitate for a moment: "No, it's just… sometimes, I feel that as a Guardian of Amazon, this responsibility is too heavy. We pursue peace, but there are always those who want to destroy it. I don't know what the future holds, I just feel an invisible pressure."
Upon hearing this, Arthurgently took Diana's hand. His hand was large and warm, giving a sense of security. "Difficulties and challenges are always there, but you are never alone. Diana, do you remember? You have your sisters of Amazon, and friends like me, willing to fight for you. We will face it together, bear it together."
Diana felt the warmth of Arthur's palm, and the worries in her heart slowly dissipated. She looked up at him, her eyes full of gratitude and trust: "Arthur, thank you. You are like a distant lighthouse, reminding me that even in the darkest times, I can find my way."
Arthursmiled and gently stroked her hair with his other hand, "Then let us be each other's lighthouses. No matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as we are together, there is nothing we cannot overcome."
At this moment, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them, an emotion quietly growing. Just then, an alarm sounded in the distance, breaking the brief tranquility. Diana and Arthurimmediately put aside their emotions, exchanged glances, and quickly rushed in the direction of the sound.
Upon arriving at the scene, they saw an injured Amazon Warrior, who weakly told them a shocking piece of news—a powerful enemy was about to attack the Amazon island, and this person was the villain Storm Woman, who had the ability to control the weather. Faced with the sudden crisis, Arthurand Diana did not hesitate, immediately organized the Amazon Warriors, and launched the battle to defend the island…
…
However,
While all the Amazon Warriors were extremely nervous, Arthurremained unusually calm.
He looked at Storm Woman with her silver hair flying in the sky, silently evaluating her in his mind.
"Although she belongs to the N-word, I have to say, her figure and appearance are indeed good."
He thought to himself: "Even if she's Black, she's like a Black pearl! Speaking of which, I've never played with a Black one before, this is a good chance to try."
Arthurlooked at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds and rumbling thunder.
"Most importantly, this little one is too disobedient. Suddenly making the weather so bad, I haven't even put away my clothes yet! How naughty!"
He comforted himself in his heart: "When a child makes a mistake, of course, they need a good lesson."
"Hey, what is that man saying?" A young Amazon Warriorwhispered to her companion next to her, her eyes fixed on Arthur, her face full of surprise.
"I… I don't understand either," her companion shook her head, frowning, "At this time, shouldn't he be thinking about how to defeat the enemy and protect us? Why is he still talking about the enemy's appearance?"
Not far away, another older Amazon Warrior heard their conversation and sighed: "Young people are always puzzling. However, My Lord Arthurhas his own thoughts, we just need to trust him."
"197"
Just as everyone was discussing, Arthursuddenly looked up and laughed loudly, his laughter unrestrained, instantly suppressing the surrounding noise. "Haha, don't worry, my friends! In terms of appearance, I admit Storm Womandoes have some charm, but in this World where strength matters, no matter how good-looking a face is, it can't withstand one punch from me!" He turned his head to look at Diana, his eyes full of the excitement of anticipating battle, "Besides, we Amazons are never afraid of challenges, right, Diana?"
Diana's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a subtle smile, with a hint of cunning in her eyes: "That's right, Arthur. But you have to remember, this opponent can control the weather, so fists alone won't work. However, I have my own way of dealing with such people." Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for those around to hear, especially the phrase "dealing with such people," which made the Amazon Warriors laugh softly, and the atmosphere immediately lightened considerably.
"Oh? Then I'll have to watch closely." Arthurraised an eyebrow, then turned to face the gathered Amazon Warriors and said loudly: "Everyone, although the storm is powerful, we have each other, and the support of this land! Now, act according to our plan, and let this uninvited guest know that Amazon is not so easy to bully!"
"For Amazon!" The Amazon Warriors responded in unison, their morale high.
The battle quickly began, with Storm Woman using her abilities to summon strong winds and heavy rain, attempting to submerge the Amazon island. But Arthurand Diana, leading the Amazon Warriors, showed astonishing unity and courage. They cleverly used the terrain, combined with Arthur's "special" strategy against Storm Woman, and Diana's deep understanding of nature, gradually turning the tide.
"Look over there! Mr. Arthurand Diana seem to have found a way to deal with that Storm Woman!" A civilian excitedly shouted, pointing at the battlefield. Hearing this, the previously tense expressions of those around slowly relaxed, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.
"I never thought that man could come up with such a brilliant counterattack while mocking the enemy," an old man sighed, while a young person next to him covered their mouth and chuckled: "Perhaps, that's just his style, always bringing surprises in the most dangerous moments."
The battle entered a heated phase, and Storm Woman's power seemed to reach its limit. The dark clouds in the sky began to disperse, revealing a glimmer of dawn… Arthurconfronted Storm Woman directly, every move of his full of power and wisdom, making those watching from the sidelines exclaim repeatedly.
"It seems the outcome is already decided." Diana stood on a high place, looking at the gradually calming sky, and said to the warrior beside her, "But this battle has given us much more than just a victory."
"Indeed." Arthurslowly walked over from a distance, a calm smile on his face, "This is a lesson, a growth, and a reminder for the future. We must be more careful and constantly improve ourselves, because this World always has more formidable enemies than we can imagine."
"What should we do next?" Diana asked, her gaze firm, as if she already saw new challenges.
Arthurtook a deep breath, looked at the Sun rising on the horizon, and slowly said: "First, we must restore everything on the island to normal, and then… find out Storm Woman's true purpose behind her actions, and any greater threats that might exist. Because, guarding Amazon and maintaining peace has always been our duty."
"Guarding Amazon, maintaining peace." Diana repeated, their eyes met, and they both understood in their hearts that their determination had never wavered.
"Then, let's set off, towards the unknown, towards the future." Arthurextended his hand, Diana gripped it tightly, and they walked into the morning light together, leaving behind a trail of firm footprints, and the exclamations and expectations of the people behind them.
"Hey, have you heard? My Lord Arthurand Diana not only defeated Storm Woman, but they are also going to uncover the secrets behind her!" In the town tavern, a traveler in worn clothes excitedly shouted, causing those around to start discussing animatedly.
"Really? Storm Woman was someone even the kingdom's knights couldn't handle!" A bearded man holding a wine glass asked, his face full of surprise.
"Absolutely true! I saw them fighting side by side with my own eyes, they were just like heroes from legends!" The traveler excitedly waved his arms, as if he had also participated in that battle.
An old man sitting in the corner stroked his White beard and slowly said: "These two, I'm afraid they possess some unknown power. In the history of Amazon, no one has ever fought against the forces of nature with a mortal body like them."
"Strength is important, but more important are their sense of responsibility and foresight for the future." A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar pushed up his glasses thoughtfully and said, "Their actions remind me of an ancient prophecy, about the Guardian leading Amazon into a new era."
"Guardian? New era?" Everyone around looked over curiously, and the topic suddenly became lively.
Just as everyone was discussing, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and a young warrior rushed into the tavern, panting. Without wiping his sweat, he shouted: "Everyone, good news! My Lord Arthurand Diana are back, and they are inviting everyone who is willing to follow them to investigate the secrets behind Storm Woman!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the tavern immediately erupted, people looking at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. For many residents of Amazon, this was not just an adventure, but also an opportunity to realize their self-worth.
"Ah, young people are truly great, to be able to act with heroes, just thinking about it makes one's blood boil!" The big man finished his drink in one gulp, sighing with emotion.
Arthurfinished his drink in one gulp and slammed the glass heavily on the table, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"I've decided, I'm going! Even if I die, I want to see the outside World!" A thin young man stood up, his eyes shining with unprecedented determination.
"I'll go too, even if I can only carry their shoes, I'm willing," a girl said softly, blushing, and those around her laughed.
Just as everyone was expressing their support, a You-Know-Who wearing a cloak slowly walked in. His voice was low and powerful: "True heroes are not omnipotent, but those who choose to move forward even when they know the road ahead is difficult. Arthurand Diana have proven what bravery is through their actions. So, are you ready? To face the unknown challenges with them?"
The noisy sounds in the tavern gradually quieted down, and after a while, someone said firmly: "Ready! For Amazon, for peace, we are willing to follow them to the end of the World!"
As night fell, outside the tavern, Arthurand Diana stood side by side, watching more and more volunteers gather, complex emotions welling up in their hearts. Dianawhispered: "It seems our journey will not be lonely."
Arthursmiled and looked back at those expectant faces: "Yes, with so many people willing to accompany us, what else can't be overcome?"
"But, Arthur, have you ever thought that along this journey, we face not only external enemies, but also… internal trials?" Diana's eyes deepened, as if she had already seen some future difficulties.
