Chapter 5163-5166 [The Devilish Siblings]

After Diana mastered the ability to fly, her round-the-world trip with Xiang Nan became much easier.

Because you can be free and go wherever you want.

Moreover, they fly very fast; for example, Diana's flight speed reached supersonic levels.

As for Xiang Nan, he surpasses even Sun Wukong, reaching approximately 30,000 kilometers per second. Although still much slower than the Flash, he surpasses most superheroes.

Therefore, it would only take them about a day and a half to fly around the world, which undoubtedly made their round-the-world trip much easier.

However, Xiang Nan and Diana didn't fly around all the time. Wherever they went, they were willing to learn about the local customs, scenery, and food.

I especially enjoy listening to locals tell their history and various thrilling stories.

After all, this is what travel and adventure should be called, not just a superficial sightseeing trip.

Later, Xiang Nan and Diana learned in Guatemala that there was an ancient Aztec pyramid built in the dense tropical rainforest in the south.

Legend has it that the pyramid was built with gold and was priceless, so countless people have gone to the rainforest to search for it over the years. But all of them have never returned.

"That's a pyramid cursed by an evil god. No one has ever been able to bring the gold out alive," the locals said to Xiang Nan and Diana in a mystical tone.

Xiang Nan and Diana were naturally happy to go and find out.

……

Soon, the two of them entered the dense Amazon rainforest using their ability to fly.

When exploring the rainforest, flying in the air is much easier than walking through the rainforest.

No need to worry about being bitten by snakes, insects, or rodents; no need to worry about having your eyes blocked by leaves; and no need to painstakingly cut a path...

Therefore, they found the legendary Pyramid of the Sun without much effort.

Contrary to the legend, the Pyramid of the Sun was not made of gold, but rather constructed using massive rocks.

Even so, Xiang Nan and Diana were still deeply moved upon seeing the pyramid.

Because the Pyramid of the Sun is over sixty meters tall, a human standing in front of it looks like a tiny speck.

"Wow, it's really spectacular," Diana couldn't help but exclaim.

It's truly admirable that the ancient Aztecs, without metal tools or animal power like horses and oxen, built such tall and magnificent pyramids through their wisdom and strength.

"Yes, it's hard to imagine how they did it," Xiang Nandu remarked.

Even in modern times, conquering the rainforest is no easy task for humankind. It would have been even more unimaginable in ancient times, when productivity was extremely low.

They then climbed up the Pyramid of the Sun and took photos there.

"It's truly magnificent," Diana exclaimed.

"Wait, I sense a dark power lurking underground," Xiang Nan suddenly said to Diana.

"Dark power?! Does it exist? I didn't sense it," Diana asked, puzzled.

“Believe me, Ilúvatar is the God of Justice, and as His messenger, my perception of dark forces is much sharper,” Xiang Nan said. “Come, I can sense where this power is coming from.”

With that, Xiang Nan led Diana and jumped off the top of the pyramid.

Beneath the Pyramid of the Sun, there was a bottomless hole, pitch black as ink, constantly spewing out chilling air. "That dark power is emanating from here," Xiang Nan said to Diana.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Diana nodded.

……

Xiang Nan and Diana then entered the underground cave.

Xiang Nan specially cast a light spell, so they could see everything in the cave clearly.

The cave entrance was not very large, only about one meter in diameter, but the cave was extremely deep. It took a long time to descend to the bottom of the cave.

"Oh my God!" Diana exclaimed in surprise.

At the bottom of the cave, there were countless human and animal skulls piled up, the white bones gleaming with phosphorescence, sending chills down one's spine upon seeing them.

Amidst the layers of piled bones stood a bizarre shrine, upon which rested two wooden figurines in the typical Aztec style.

"It seems that a very evil being is sealed within these two dolls," Xiang Nan said after sensing the presence of the shrine.

Diana nodded.

“I recognize them. This is the Enchantress, and this is the Nightmare Demon. They are siblings, and they are the evil gods worshipped by the ancient Aztecs,” she explained to Xiang Nan.

"Both of them possess extremely powerful magic and are immortal. The elder sister, the Enchantress, can teleport, communicate telepathically, manipulate the weather, and transform humans into bizarre creatures."

The younger brother, Nightmare, possesses immense strength and an invulnerable body. He also has superhuman regeneration and powerful telekinesis.

Xiang Nan nodded.

He also recalled that there was indeed a pair of demonic siblings in the DCEU cinematic universe's "Suicide Squad".

The older sister is an enchantress, and the younger brother is a demonic nightmare. Both of them are incredibly powerful, and they almost used their dark magic to destroy the Earth.

In their presence, even the national treasure, the aircraft carrier, was as fragile as paper and was easily torn apart.

"Then how were they sealed away?" he asked curiously.

"According to historical records, both of them were extremely evil and enjoyed using people for sacrifice. Moreover, their power also originated from humans."

The ancient Aztecs, deeply oppressed by these people, were forced to devise a plan to poison them. Then they removed their hearts, the source of their strength.

"Then they sealed their souls inside two puppets," Diana explained. "So never open the puppets, or they might come back to life."

"I see." Xiang Nan nodded, then put the two dolls into the storage room.

He searched carefully in the cave and found a heart-shaped object that appeared to be woven from weeds but was shimmering with an eerie green light.

"What is this? Could it be the heart of the Enchantress?" Xiang Nan asked, handing the item to Diana.

“It’s possible, perhaps.” Diana nodded.

"Then keep it safe," Xiang Nan said with a smile, and put it away again.

The demon siblings are incredibly evil and powerful; in "Suicide Squad," they nearly destroyed the Earth. Therefore, we're taking them into custody now to prevent them from causing further harm in the future.

Diana nodded, then left the cave with Xiang Nan to continue their adventure.
