Devils Island.
After killing Ares and seizing his power, the entire magical power of Devils Island was simultaneously controlled by Dane.
The Amazons of this World were created by Ares, so their souls, legally speaking, should be subject to Ares's dominion.
This is also one of the Western theological laws: the created should obey the creator.
So when Ares was unsealed, Hippolyta dared not resist him at all. If he wanted to kill this Amazon Queen, Hippolyta could only offer her neck to the blade.
And the same situation applied to Dane; being able to kill Ares and use Ares's battle axe, Dane naturally became the legitimate ruler on Devils Island, where the strong are respected.
And at this moment, this newly ascended ruler was sitting in the temple, watching the Syndicate's movements displayed by a magic crystal.
That's right, all of the Syndicate's actions to subdue Mazahs were observed by Dane.
At the critical moment, it was his doing that Owlman's stealth plane malfunctioned.
Devils Island had always monitored the outside World through magic. Although they couldn't leave the island because they needed to guard Ares's seal, they had never given up their ambition for the outside World.
Superwoman left Devils Island ostensibly because Hippolyta wanted her to become a qualified Queen, returning with her Army to reclaim it... Speaking of which, it's worth noting that the succession to the throne on Devils Island is also through a challenge for the throne, but it's even more brutal.
Only when the victorious challenger kills the other competitor can she fully possess the right to the throne.
So if Superwoman were to return to inherit the throne, she would have to come back with an Army and kill Hippolyta.
The challenge for the throne is not limited to one-on-one duels; legion battles are also a permissible form of competition under the rules.
Hippolyta used her status as Queen to gather the entire Amazon force to fight against Superwoman.
Even Superwoman couldn't kill everyone by herself; otherwise, once she ascended the throne, she would have no one left to serve her, and what would be the point of being Queen then?
So they made a pact: Superwoman would go to the Human world to gather her Army, and if she could defeat Hippolyta with a grand and proper military force, then she would be the new Amazon Queen.
The Amazons believe in ruthlessness and coldness. This agreement meant that Superwoman would have to kill Hippolyta upon her next return.
And Superwoman is now a member of the Syndicate; she is, in fact, already capable of returning to seize the throne.
But in reality, Hippolyta had other plans; Devils Island alone was not worth Superwoman bringing those metahumans back to occupy.
Her true intention was to use Superwoman and the Syndicate to kill Ares, lifting the mountain that had loomed over the Amazons for thousands of years.
At that time, even if Hippolyta eventually died, Superwoman would surely be able to lead the Amazons to conquer the World and occupy the vast lands of the Human world.
It must be said that even though the Queens of the two Worlds had different personalities, they were remarkably similar in their selflessness towards their race.
Dane wondered if, by correcting Devils Island's ethos of "fearlessness, ruthlessness, and mercilessness" and introducing "love and justice, honor," it could become another Themyscira.
