save the bachelors

Chapter 5141-5144 [The Lasso of Truth]

Seeing Xiang Nan bravely fight the enemy, Diana also woke up from her dream and immediately jumped out from behind the reef, picked up the bow and arrows of her dead tribesmen, and launched an attack on the remaining German troops.

Although it was her first time participating in battle, her marksmanship was still very accurate, killing German soldiers one by one with each arrow.

Just then, the Amazonian queen cried out in alarm, "No!"

It turned out that she had been observing her surroundings and had spotted a German soldier aiming at Diana.

The battle she had just witnessed taught her that this weapon was extremely powerful; once it hit, there was no chance of survival. Therefore, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to her daughter.

"Bang!" The German soldier pulled the trigger again.

Upon seeing this, an Amazonian warrior immediately leaped forward and stood in front of Diana, trying to stop the bullet for her.

Just then, Xiang Nan pulled the trigger with a bang.

With a snap, the bullet he fired hit the bullet aimed at Diana.

The two bullets collided and then fell to the ground together.

The Amazon queen also rushed forward, and with a swift stroke of her sword, she severed the head of the German soldier.

With his last shot, Xiang Nan finished off the last remaining German soldier, then rushed to Diana's side. "Are you alright?"

"I'm alright." Diana shook her head and rushed to the Amazon warrior who had shielded her from the bullet. "Antieope, are you alright?"

Antiochus was her martial arts instructor and, besides the Queen, the person she was closest to. She really didn't want anything to happen to her.

“I’m fine too,” Antiochus said, waving his hand as he stood up.

"Thank you," Diana said to Xiang Nan.

She knew that if it hadn't been Xiang Nan who fired the shot, Antioch would likely have been killed by the bullet.

"No need to be so polite," Xiang Nan said, waving his hand.

……

"You! Outsider!" The Amazonian queen glared angrily at Xiang Nan. "You are the one who caused all this death and injury. You will face our wrath!"

“No, Mother, no. He’s on our side. He just fought alongside us,” Diana quickly interjected.

"Who would betray their own people?" an Amazonian female general said disdainfully.

"I'm not with them," Xiang Nan quickly waved his hand and said.

"Then why are you all wearing the same clothes?" the Amazon queen demanded sharply.

"I can't tell you that," Xiang Nan said, shaking his head.

"Say it now, what is your name!" the Amazon queen demanded again.

"I can't tell you that either," Xiang Nan refused again.

“Kill him now to prevent future trouble,” suggested an Amazonian female general.

“If we kill him now, we’ll never know who he is or why he came,” another general advised.

"Take him to the hall and use the Lasso of Truth; he will surely confess," the Amazonian queen immediately ordered.

The Amazonian warriors then surrounded him. They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, as if they would tear Xiang Nan apart if he didn't cooperate.

Although Xiang Nan possessed the strength to easily annihilate the entire Amazonian tribe, he feigned defeat, laid down his weapons, and chose to cooperate obediently.

...A moment later, Xiang Nan was taken to the Amazon clan's council hall, and a rope was tied around his body.

After the rope wrapped around his body, it emitted a golden light.

"Tell me, who are you, and where do you come from?" the Amazonian queen asked.

Xiang Nan suddenly felt a force seeping into his soul, urging him to tell the truth.

He knew this was the power of the "Lasso of Truth," and that once entangled by it, one was forced to tell the truth. If one resisted or lied, one would experience pain on a spiritual level.

Moreover, the Lasso of Truth is unbreakable; once entangled, even Superman would find it difficult to break free.

"..." Xiang Nan refused to answer, and thus immediately felt the impact and damage that the Lasso of Truth had caused to his soul.

However, for him, such shocks and injuries were like trying to lift tofu with a horse's tail—not worth mentioning.

According to the comics, the Lasso of Truth was forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire, from the golden belt of Gaia, the goddess of earth.

Whether it's the God of Fire or the Goddess of Earth, they are nothing special to Xiang Nan, who is a creator-level being. He could even create a whole bunch of such deities.

Therefore, the divine artifacts they created could not harm Xiang Nan at all.

But at this moment he had to pretend to be an ordinary person, so he still pretended to be in pain.

"Hiss~" Xiang Nan frowned in pain, letting out a helpless groan, "I can't say, I really can't say, you can't force me like this, oh dear~"

"You must confess," the Amazonian queen demanded, quite surprised by the resistance Xiang Nan had shown, knowing that no one had ever been able to resist the power of the Lasso of Truth.

"I can't say..." Xiang Nan continued to resist, then looked at the ropes binding his body, "Hiss, what is this thing? Why is it so hot?"

"Do not attempt to resist; the Lasso of Truth will lead you to speak the truth," the Amazon queen explained. "Resistance is futile and will only increase your suffering."

"Ah, I can't take it anymore, you win." Xiang Nan pretended to be unable to bear it any longer and finally spoke, "I am Captain Steve Trevor, belonging to the American Expeditionary Force, number 8141921, dispatched to British intelligence on a classified mission." And after he told the truth, the Lasso of Truth indeed stopped burning his soul.

However, this may show that the Lasso of Truth is not a panacea. It can only get people to speak the truth, but not necessarily all the truth.

"What secret mission?" the Amazonian queen continued to ask.

“Hiss... I can’t say…” Xiang Nan stubbornly resisted, “You have no idea what kind of danger you are facing.”

"Tell me, what exactly is your mission?" the Amazonian queen pressed.

"I am...I am...I am a spy," Xiang Nan finally shouted. "Yes, I am a spy."

"A spy?" The Amazonian queen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, British intelligence received information that German Army General Ludendorff was heading to a secret military base in the Ottoman Empire."

I disguised myself as a German pilot and went with them. According to intelligence, the German army was in complete disarray, with no funds and no supplies.

But our intelligence was wrong; the Germans were having the Turks manufacture explosives for them. And not only explosives, but also new weapons, secret weapons.

This weapon was developed under the supervision of Dr. Isabel Maru, Ludendorff's most notorious psychopath. Frontline soldiers called her "Dr. Poison," and for good reason.

She developed a highly toxic biological weapon. In my judgment, if Dr. Maru succeeds in developing it, millions will die, and the war will never end.

My task was simply to observe and report from the shadows, nothing more, but I had to take action…

Once the DC universe is finished, the story will be complete.

I'm not very good at writing fight scenes, and when I do, they don't look good, and people don't enjoy reading them.

My next book will also be about traversing countless worlds, but I'll try to focus on the real world as much as possible.
