The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 234 Neither Side

As Li Zhen's body touched the land of the divine realm, a visible filth instantly stained everything around her, which was originally pure, black.

Marble bricks turned into foul-smelling sand, and the flowers and plants used to decorate the environment withered and rotted in the blink of an eye.

Before Hermes could utter another word, Li Zhen darted inside.

"There was a disgusting dark sorcerer in the mortal realm who tried to harm my family, and in a moment of panic, I killed him."

Li Zhen, seemingly simple-minded, scratched the back of his head, his face revealing the same indignation as Hermes.

"That evil sorcerer cast a vicious curse on me before he died—Olympus can remove it, right?"

Hermes subconsciously took a few steps back. This divine messenger seemed to have a severe case of mysophobia. His usually cold facial expression finally lost control, and he looked at Li Zhen with annoyance and disgust.

What he saw was Li Zhen's expression, which was full of innocence and a sense of shared hatred, as if she were one of his own.

Hermes narrowed his dark, gem-like eyes, and after a long pause, finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"The divine realm has a way to purify what is merely a curse of the mortal world."

"Ah, that's wonderful."

Li Zhen leaped forward, and her spirit automatically detached from her divine body, leaving the filthy, cursed body to Hermes.

"I'll trouble you to go to your aid, Your Excellency. If I still need to descend to the mortal realm—"

Hermes watched as the filthy body continued to spread contamination, and he was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth to dust.

"Only one set of the custom-made version can be provided. If you want to go to the lower realm, you will only be able to use the more common and lower-level universal version."

"Really? That's great, I'm not picky."

Li Zhen winked at Diana.

"Professor Prince, before going down to the lower realm, I'd like to take a look around Olympus first. I didn't get a good look around last time I came."

Diana looked at her strangely.

Nonsense, last time Li Zhen came, he only caused destruction, leaving the realm of gods in ruins. It was only because Zeus wasn't really angry that the Justice League could leave so easily.

However, she also noticed Li Zhen's gaze and could only helplessly glance at Hermes, who was currently burning with rage around that seemingly ordinary body that was actually frantically emitting all sorts of filthy curses.

"Okay, I'll show you the way, but just so you know, I don't come here often."

Diana eventually caught up with Lee Jung.

"There is no guarantee that I will be a qualified guide."

Watching the two walk away, Hermes pinched his nose to calm himself down, and finally, with great reluctance, moved the body away.

Li Zhen stopped paying attention to Hermes and instead strolled around casually with Diana, chatting idly.

The content is all-encompassing, jumping from one topic to another, asking about almost everything.

From the customs and traditions of Olympus and the preferences of the gods, to the two chief gods and their respective personalities.

At first, Diana seemed to handle Li Zhen's endless questions with ease.

Having grown up on Paradise Island, Diana had been exposed to stories of the Olympian gods for centuries.

But soon, Li Zhen's problems began to go astray.

Li Zhen revealed many fabricated Greek anecdotes and details about the private emotional lives of gods and demigods.

Diana's mind, full of serious knowledge, was no match for these things.

Especially things like how many goddesses and mortals Zeus slept with, Hera's recent relationship with Zeus, and whether Hercules had homosexual tendencies.

The princess of Paradise Island was greatly shocked, her mind buzzing from the questions. She could only try to answer what she had heard or what she could say.

For the remaining questions, either shut up or glare at Li Zhen fiercely to make her shut up on her own.

Finally, Diana even pulled out the Vulcan sword with a "clang".

"You're getting more and more irresponsible, always focusing your attention on these trivial things. I think you need some long-awaited special training."

Li Zhen looked down at her spirit body and pursed her lips.

I won't ask anymore.

Diana smiled victoriously and casually put the Vulcan sword back at her waist.

After a few seconds of calm, Li Zhen suddenly brought up a topic that was completely unrelated to what had happened before.

"Professor Prince, I already found out when I went down to the mortal realm that Batman killed me."

Diana's steps suddenly stopped.

Li Zhen also stopped and looked back at Diana, her face no longer showing the smile she had when she was inquiring about the gods' gossip.

"So, teacher, you were deliberately avoiding this matter before, right?"

But those eyes were as still as water, revealing no possible intentions whatsoever.

"Bruce, he really thinks he killed you. That's a blow to him, believe me. In the coming days, he'll be going through more mental anguish than ever before."

Ok?

Li Zhen's expression remained unchanged, but doubts began to creep into her heart.

Ms. Prince's first sentence can be interpreted in two ways. One is that she knows the true cause of Lee Jung's death, but also wants to teach the headstrong Batman a profound lesson.

Li Zhen decided to test the waters.

"He did kill me, and I don't think my death would have been a bigger blow to him than Jason's."

Diana clearly knew about Jason's situation, and her expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.

She made her prediction too early; Jason and Li Zhen's attitude towards Batman—it seems self-evident.

But what Li Zhen is saying now is very dangerous!

"Wait, I don't think it can all be blamed on Bruce. You know, he's like that with everyone. It's that weird virus—"

Well, as soon as these words were spoken, Li Zhen immediately realized that Diana did not have the information he wanted.

"There's no need to make excuses for your former friends, teacher. All you need to do now is stay out of it, and I will be extremely grateful for your fairness."

Lee Jung interrupted Diana almost rudely and walked forward alone.

"After that, I will observe in Gotham for a period of time, and I will travel more frequently between the realm of gods and the human world. My communication with Olympus will require more effort from my teacher."

"Don't let me know that Zeus is still plotting against my body, or I will make choices that are not what the gods expect."

Li Zhen took a few more steps, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

"If the teacher still has things to do on Paradise Island, I would like to request that Hercules take me to get acquainted with the divine realm next time. That big guy is quite to my liking."

Diana stood there, watching Li Zhen walk away, her gaze filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Li Zhen's words implied that his next trip back to Earth was to settle scores with Batman.

She couldn't easily take sides; her former comrades and students seemed to favor one side over the other, and besides, she had almost no stance on Batman's side, since Wonder Woman had already left the Justice League.

Diana, feeling utterly overwhelmed, finally decided to go and have a chat with her best friend, Athena.
