Chapter 371 Zatanna's Love and Protection
"Where are Loki and Star-Lord?"

Peter, who rushed back from London, found that Star-Lord and Loki were not there, and asked McBee in confusion.

"I don't know. I've been in charge of cooking. Maybe you can ask Kara or Hera, the Queen of Gods who has been doing nothing but watching TV."

The vixen put the question to Kara and Hera.

"I don't know. They have their own legs. Why would you ask a woman who is imprisoned?"

Hera held the remote control and spoke to Peter indignantly.

She secretly checked it last night using Peter's computer.

The handcuffs he was wearing were the kind of sex toys used between couples.

She was feeling ashamed and annoyed, and now she wished she could just kill Peter.

Before she even becomes the queen, she wants me to play this kind of erotic game with him.

With the dignity of a queen of gods, I will never surrender!

"is it?"

Peter saw Hera watching the TV angrily without blinking, so he walked over and snatched the remote control from her hand.

This woman can't get her attitude right and still wants to watch TV. She's simply dreaming.

"You don't seem to know your place, Hera."

Peter held the remote control and glared at this woman who never looked people in the eye and always acted arrogantly.

When the remote control was taken away, Hera's attitude immediately softened and she begged Peter: "Don't take my remote control, don't change the channel."

"That depends on your attitude."

Peter glanced at the remote in his hand.

Is this thing so attractive to the Queen of Gods?

He looked towards the TV suspiciously, and the program on TV was about a black person's journey to find their roots.

A black man who was abandoned by his father since childhood is trying hard to find the father who abandoned him.

What's so good about this thing?!
He was lost in thought about his life, and when he saw the Queen of Gods pleading, a sense of déjà vu suddenly occurred in his mind.

I am now holding the remote control, and the Queen of Gods is begging me not to press it.

Why do I feel like the villain in an island romance movie? !
Peter coughed and put the strange feeling out of his mind.

"Okay, let's get back to business. Diana needs you to take her to Demeter. She needs to find Hermes and the child."

Hera was stunned when she heard Peter's words.

Then she raised her head and said proudly, "No, I won't take you there."

"what?"

When Diana heard the other party reject her, her face immediately turned bad.

"I didn't kill you, I took you under my protection, why did you refuse?!"

Before Hera could answer, an old man's voice came from outside.

"She's not rejecting you, Diana, she's just powerless."

Under the astonished gaze of Peter and others, a white-haired old man suddenly walked in from outside the farm.

The bald old man with a white beard and blood on his legs and feet said to the stunned Diana: "She is a mortal now. Only the gods of Olympus can travel between different realms."

"Ares?!"

Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared on the farm, Diana's eyes showed shock.

She didn't expect to see the God of War Ares at Peter's place.

Moreover, the other party looked weaker than ever.

Ares, the god of war, had a close relationship with Diana.

Ares had been training Diana since she was very young, and their relationship was like that of father and daughter.

However, when Ares ordered her to kill a Minotaur, Diana refused him.

As a result, Ares believed that Wonder Woman was a loser and gave up on her.

In a sense, Ares is Diana's teacher in preaching.

"You look a little surprised to see me here, Diana."

Ares greeted Diana.

"Also, you are Peter Padrick, right? I heard that someone caused a big disturbance in the underworld, defeated Youming, and stole his wife."

Ares said as he looked towards Peter.

Peter: "."

Am I so notorious among the Olympian gods?
"No, I just want revenge for my daughter. As for the Queen of the Underworld, she followed me voluntarily, so the news that I heard from others cannot be trusted."

Peter felt he had to explain his reputation.

Perseneph, who had been feeling uneasy, nodded and said to Ares, "Yes, I escaped from that cage of my own accord."

"No need to explain, I think you did the right thing."

Ares said to Hera, who was sitting on the sofa with her head held high, "Mother, how have you been lately?"

Hera snorted and ignored him.

"I've always been my mother's least favorite child. I'm used to it."

Ares, who was in the image of an old man, gave everyone a bitter smile, then looked at Diana, "Diana, come on, let me take you to Demeter to find the child."

Seeing Aresken helping, the Queen of the Underworld quickly came up and asked, "Can you take me with you? Maybe I can convince my mother."

She thought maybe she could convince her mother not to be enemies with Peter and Diana.

Ares, the god of war, shook his head and refused: "No, no, it can only be Diana."

Zora grabbed Diana's hand, "No, Diana, don't let him do this, he can't be trusted."

"He is my teacher. It's okay, Zora. I will return safely."

Diana smiled at Zora, then walked over to Peter, “Peter, wait for me to come back.”

After Lady Xanadu predicted Peter's wife, Diana's mentality changed slightly.

"Of course, protect yourself and contact me directly if you have any questions."

Peter said to the other party.

But when he heard Diana's tone, it seemed a little too intimate.
After Diana and Ares left, Zatanna walked up to him and said hesitantly, "Sir, can I talk to you alone?"

"of course."

Peter nodded and led Zatanna to the study.

"Actually, I got into some trouble in Gotham."

After struggling for a long time, Zatanna finally decided to tell Peter about her experience in Gotham. "Yeah, I know, it's the '10 million dollar' case you were involved in, right?"

Peter handed her a cup of coffee that McBee had prepared.

"You know? Sir."

"Not only do I know, I also guess that the real thief is someone else."

Peter took a sip of the hot coffee. "And you, Zatanna, you're not so bad at magic that you don't know someone is performing a magic trick on you."

Peter had seen the news about Zatanna in Gotham on the Internet before.

"You always know my mind, sir, just like when we were in the secret room."

Zatanna smiled and said to him, "Yes, I know who did it, but I didn't expose him immediately. I used my magic to replace the money he stole and then transferred it to the Social Welfare Institute. This money originally belonged to the welfare institute, but it was frozen by the bank."

"So you help them in this way?"

"Yes, magic should bring happiness to people, but the decay and pain of life, and the inevitable march toward death, are the most intuitive feelings that magic has brought to me during my years of traveling."

Zatanna thought of the countless magicians she had seen heading towards destruction and death, "But I have always believed that magic should have some warmth."

Looking at the slightly moved Zatanna, Peter put down the coffee cup in his hand.

"You should understand, Xiao Zha, that the magicians in this world are all a bunch of selfish bastards. If you try to be a kind magician, you will get hurt easily."

"But what about you, sir?"

"Me? I'm not a magician, and I'm not a good person either."

"If I get hurt, sir, will you protect me? Just like when we were kids in the secret house?"

Looking at Zatanna's eyes that showed expectation, Peter nodded, "Of course, we haven't changed."

"Thank you, sir."

Zatanna let out a smile and stretched out her arms, gently hugging Peter.

The aura of Peter gave him the same feeling as when she was a girl.

Yes, I haven't changed, and Mr. Patrick hasn't changed either.

the other side.

Ares, the god of war, left the farm, walking with Diana.

"It pains me, little friend, when I see that you have made no progress in years."

Ares said to Diana: "Or in other words, it's no worse."

Diana raised her eyebrows and replied, "Ten years is just a snap of the fingers for you, isn't it?"

The two had not seen each other for more than ten years.

"Ten years? It feels longer! My life."

Ares stroked his snow-white beard, "It feels like I'm experiencing life in reverse. When I was young, the end of the day was marked by the arrival of night, but now that I'm old, they continue."

Listening to Ares' words, Diana didn't know how to reply to him.

After a while, she asked the other party: "Where are you going?"

From the look on his face, she knew he was planning to sneak into Peter's cornfield.

"Just follow me. I think there must be something to see here."

As he spoke, he led Diana into the cornfield.

Ares walked to a damaged flowerpot containing foxtail grass and pulled the grass off.

Diana asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Setaria."

As he said this, he looked into the flowerpot where the weeds had been pulled out.

Diana followed his gaze and looked inside, only to see that there was an infinite space inside the flowerpot.

A staircase made of mud leads from the top to the bottom.

"Let's go and save that child."

Looking at the magical scene in front of her, Diana followed the other party into the flowerpot with surprise.

In the magical space made of mud, Diana saw countless fireflies flying in the air, lighting up the surrounding road.

There was a fresh smell of earth and grass all around.

As they walked together, Ares asked Diana, "What will you do when you get the child?"

"I will return him to Zora."

"But it comes at a price. This kid means something to a lot of people."

Ares said to Diana: "Even though that Zora is as sharp as a knife, can she protect the child?"

"No."

"So are you willing to devote your entire life to being a protector?"

Facing Ares' question, Diana was silent for a moment and said, "I will find a way."

"I'm sure Apollo thinks the same. He doesn't have the love and emotions for humans that you do. The gods of Olympus never consider too much about human nature."

"Your self-hatred, it offends me, God of War!"

A phrase that sounded extremely familiar to Diana rang in her ears.

"Oh!"

The next moment, a divine power came out from Hermes' hand, directly knocking Ares away.

In Diana's eyes of shock and hatred, Hermes slowly walked towards her.

Holding a magic sword in his hand, Hermes looked at her coldly.

"I have been waiting for this day, Wonder Woman. In fact, I am dreading it."

A complicated look flashed in Hermes' eyes. "For such a long time, I could imagine what you were going to say to me and what you thought of me."

He raised his sword and pointed it at Diana, "The best thing I can think of to respond to you is that I'm sorry."

"but."

Hermes changed the subject, "My guilt disappeared when I saw who you allied with."

"Boom!"

Holding the sword, Hermes slashed at Diana fiercely.
