I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

"Diana, only another god can kill a god!"

Even if the so-called killing merely refers to driving a god away from this world, only another god could do that.

“Although that outsider was powerful and close to a god, I know very well that he does not have the aura of a god. He is not a god from any of the civilizations on this planet.”

"Is he destined to fail?"

Diana frowned.

"good."

Hippolyta said that this was an impossible task.

"So when this outsider who invaded Paradise Island and arrogantly wanted to conquer us exhausted a portion of Ares' power and was killed by Ares."

My daughter, princess of the Amazons, it is you who will accomplish the great task of slaying the god of war.

"I?

But Mother, didn't you just say that only another god could kill a god?

Diana pointed at herself, full of doubt, somewhat confused by her mother's words.

“Diana, this was actually your mission... This sword was a gift from Zeus to our Amazonian race, and it also has another name: ‘Godslayer’.”

Hippolyta hesitated for a long time before finally saying a sentence. Then, as if suddenly stuck, her eyes flashed a few seconds later, and her words became fluent.

"The Godslayer?"

"This sword is an exception."

Zeus gave it to us so that it could be used by the most powerful warriors of the Amazons to slay the evil god of war.

……

David was somewhat surprised to have spent a night in the Amazonian palace.

He released Wonder Woman, but the Amazons did not take advantage of his sleep to gather forces again to try and attack him.

"Is it because they disdain doing so, or do they believe they are certain to win?"

David smiled in the bright morning sunlight.

He raised an eyebrow as Diana appeared on the island's shore, surrounded by her people and looking completely new.

Diana, dressed in a battle dress, wearing a flying crown and battle boots, with a sword on her back and a round shield in her hand, looked every bit the female war goddess about to ride a chariot and gallop across the battlefield.

Her striking beauty and heroic spirit captivated all who beheld her.

"Divine shield, Hephaestus' sword, Hermes' flying shoes..."

"After just one night, he has acquired three more divine artifacts."

David took a closer look at the Sword of Vulcan.

This is a divine weapon capable of cutting at the subatomic level, possessing immense power that even the physical defenses of Kryptonians cannot ignore. Diana once used it to sever Doomsday's arm.

On the beach, Diana saw a man in the sunlight, casual and handsome, who looked like the legendary sun god Apollo, and felt a mix of emotions.

Her mother had told her everything. The man in front of her thought he had a chance to conquer the Amazons, but he didn't know that he was doomed to lose.

"but……"

Diana turned and looked back at her mother and people who were looking at her with expectant eyes.

Why does everything before my eyes feel so strangely familiar?

Just like the epics and myths that have been passed down since ancient times.

"A despicable king sets trials for great heroes that he deems impossible, perils that even the risk of death cannot describe, like Hercules and the Twelve Trials, Jason and the Golden Fleece, Perseus and Medusa..."

They all believed that the hero could never accomplish the task or return alive, and the story often ended like this…

After a moment of déjà vu, Diana glanced at David again with a hint of regret and reluctance towards the man who was about to conquer her people.

"Not enough, the outcome might be different this time."

The man was unaware that he had fallen into a trap, unaware of his predetermined fate.

"As a mortal, I am destined to be unable to kill a god."

There was a slight delay in updating; I'll make up for it this afternoon or tomorrow.

Recently, due to some issues arising from an elderly family member's serious illness, I've been physically and mentally exhausted. I'll maintain a basic daily update of 4,000 words, and occasionally try to write more, around 4,000 to 5,000 words, but I can't seem to manage more for now. I hope you can understand. <(＿＿)>

Chapter 88. God, what's going on?

The Middle East is the most war-torn region on this planet.

The civil war in Kandak lasted for several years. After someone took control of the country and brought the chaos to a temporary halt, it broke out into a war with neighboring Korwick.

The war has lasted for a year.

Like a quagmire, both countries are deeply mired in it, constantly locked in a tug-of-war, unable to break free.

Streets in the capital of Kandak.

Residents, their eyes sunken and faces weary from living under high pressure for so long, hurried by. Armed soldiers could be seen patrolling the streets from time to time, and a depressing atmosphere permeated the streets and alleys.

David and Diana strolled down the street, attracting some attention.

Putting aside their outstanding looks and temperament, their relaxed and natural aura was almost out of place in this country mired in war, making them stand out from the crowd.

In addition, Diana's ancient female warrior attire made her hard to miss when walking through the bustling city.

"The clothes outside have changed to this now?"

Almost everyone turned to look at her. Diana, brimming with inner strength and confidence, was dashing and showed no sign of discomfort. On the contrary, she found the modern people's clothing strange.

Won't they feel uncomfortable?

Compared to the ancient Greek style that Diana envisioned, it was anything but relaxed and natural; the sleeves were pulled up to her legs, and the collar was tightly pressed against her neck, making it look uncomfortable.

"Goats find it strange to look at donkeys, and donkeys find it strange to look at goats."

David said calmly.

The city of Kandak is relatively underdeveloped compared to some modern cities, but it can also be said that it has preserved a considerable amount of its original flavor and ancient relics.

Stone-built buildings are everywhere.

If it were a real steel jungle, Diana would probably feel even more awkward.

Is Ares in this country?

Diana sensed that David thought she was fretting over unnecessary questions, so she turned to the important matter at hand.

After leaving Paradise Island, David took her across the ocean straight to this country, as if they had a precise destination in mind.

"Not necessarily, but it's very likely."

David told the truth.

The two walked through the city towards the base outside the city.

He hadn't read many comics, but he knew a little about Ares's methods.

"The firstborn of the Father likes to support a weak nation to compete with a strong nation, or support two weak nations, manipulating the situation like playing a card game, and disregarding countless human lives."

The goal is to keep both sides evenly matched and embroiled in an endless war, so as to extract strength from the war in the long term.

"If he's not here, he's in neighboring Korwick."

The country swiftly ended its internal strife within a year, and a small warlord rose to power and took control of the entire territory.

"Another country went from being poor and backward to having a large amount of funding, buying weapons like they were free, and its war power increased dramatically."

Two countries that initially had only minor border skirmishes have been at war ever since. Today I occupy a piece of your territory, tomorrow you capture a city of mine, and the cycle continues endlessly.

It all sounds like a joke, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of troops have died to date.

"There is an unseen hand manipulating everything from behind the scenes."

Diana looked skeptical as she learned from David about the changes that had taken place in the two countries in such a short time.

"You're not that stupid."

David nodded.

He had been following news from these two countries for some time, because of the familiar name Kandak—the hometown of Black Adam—but he hadn't paid much attention to it before.

When talking about Ares, which likes to start wars, these two countries immediately come to mind.

“Mother is right. Ares is cruel and bloodthirsty. He loves to hear people’s painful cries in war. Wherever he goes, he brings chaos and war.”

Diana's face showed hatred, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.

Since her mother said that Zeus left behind a god-slayer to kill Ares, the most powerful female warrior of the Amazons, she would certainly not fail the divine sword she carried.

"The evil god of war must be put to an end!"

David glanced at the Vulcan sword on Diana's back.

This weapon was incredibly sharp, but it seems that when Diana encountered Ares in the movie, she stabbed him with the sword, but the blade condensed like ashes and crumbled at Ares's touch.
