The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning
Chapter 41 Heroes Lead the Way
The Vulcan Sword shot straight in through a spatial rift torn open by the power of the God-King, landing precisely in Diana's hand.
The sword hilt was warm to the touch, and the familiar divine power spread from her palm to her limbs and bones. Diana subconsciously gripped the longsword tighter.
Almost simultaneously, another silver light rushed from the depths of the temple, and the divine power shield adhered firmly to her left arm.
But at this moment, the gods standing in the shadows of the ruined temple turned their gaze to the sky.
The spatial rift high in the sky not only failed to heal, but continued to expand.
Beneath the ripped traces of space, amidst the distorted light, Superman's blue figure flashed by, still fiercely battling the remaining divine power of Zeus.
A vast expanse of divine space began to ripple with fine waves.
Immediately afterwards, Shazam's red figure rushed in with the force of thunder. He immediately saw Li Zhen floating in the distance, covered in blood, looking as if she was about to collapse at any moment.
There were two corpses, one large and one small, lying at his feet, which made him gasp in shock.
"Watfar? What on earth happened here?"
Shazam's exclamation echoed across the ruined square. He darted to Li Zhen's side, grabbed her arm and put it on his shoulder, his voice filled with disbelief and admiration.
"Dude, you're amazing! You took down two gods all by yourself? You're definitely the coolest guy I've ever met!"
Li Zhen looked at the two corpses and shook her head with some suspicion.
Leaving aside the God of War, the Justice League clearly states that as long as the concept of war exists in the world, Ares will not truly die.
But even Li Zhen himself found it hard to believe that he had killed Hercules and Atlas.
Throughout the entire process, the gods who were watching were all too calm, especially since there were two of Zeus's sons among them. If they had really been killed by him, Zeus wouldn't have been so composed.
Wonder Woman, standing opposite the two, still held her sword pointed at Li Zhen, unable to withdraw from the battle due to her divine oath.
But Diana was still able to speak.
"They were all just sending out an avatar made of divine power, just like the Goddess of Conflict—otherwise, how could mortals compete with gods on the same level?"
Seeing that Shazam still seemed somewhat skeptical, Diana was speechless.
"If he could really kill the true forms of the two gods who gave you strength and stamina, what makes you think you'd still be standing here?"
Shazam finally stopped questioning, but he still couldn't help but stare at the two corpses, muttering to himself.
"So, these two are Atlas and Hercules? Wow, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen them like this, in such a strange way."
Shazam awkwardly raised his other free hand.
"Aren't they cold lying on the ground like that? Should I say hello to them?"
Li Zhen closed her eyes and turned her head away. Diana couldn't turn her head; she was still in a state of "going all out" and could only roll her eyes at Shazam with all her might.
Zeus ignored the three people talking, or perhaps he simply didn't have the energy to spare any more attention.
The God King stared at the spatial rift that Superman kept widening, remained silent for a long time, and then suddenly gave up on continuing to suppress the space with his divine power.
The rift expanded once again into a massive portal, and Superman quickly appeared in the realm of gods.
Superman's blue eyes swept over Li Zhen's entire body, his X-ray vision penetrating through layers of blood and tattered armor. After confirming that although his injuries looked horrifying, he was not actually in mortal danger, he slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on Zeus in front of the temple, his expression solemn.
The surrounding air pressure seemed to be decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"You're the legendary Zeus, the king of the gods, attacking a child?"
Before Zeus could speak, Athena stepped out from the shadows of the temple.
"Superman, that's not how it is. The divine realm is just..."
"No explanation needed, Athena."
A pair of enormous eyes flashing with lightning appeared in the sky, and Zeus's voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
"Superman, if you insist on disrupting the divine realm's ritual today, then there will be no more peace between the divine realm and the human world."
Zeus's figure on the ground had disappeared, and Superman looked up at the sky, showing no sign of backing down.
"If the God-King means waging such a war to harm a child, then all gods, step over my dead body first."
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the roar of the Bat fighter finally rang out from behind the spatial gate, and then, like a black arrow, it pierced through the spatial rift and landed steadily on the gravel ground at the edge of the plaza.
The hatch opened, and Cyborg, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash, and others filed out. When they saw the scene before them, they all instinctively stopped in their tracks.
The once magnificent temple was mostly demolished, the dome collapsed, the stone pillars broke, and the ground was covered with huge pits of varying depths. The rubble and dried divine blood were intertwined, and Superman seemed to be confronting a pair of huge eyes in the sky.
"Li Zhen actually managed to tear things apart like this. I thought we'd at most negotiate with the divine realm after we came in—is there even anything left to negotiate now?"
Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, instinctively gripped his green lantern ring, feeling a dryness in his throat.
The Flash, his body crackling with Speed Force lightning, stared at the enormous eyes in the sky with a pained expression.
"I swear this is one of the biggest scenes I've ever seen since I joined the Justice League. We've actually broken into the realm of the Olympians. Don't tell me that's Zeus's eye in the sky."
Despite their individual criticisms, the Justice League quickly chose to confront the Olympian god-king.
Even Aquaman silently raised his trident.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Li Zhen's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tension.
"Professor Prince, the premise of going all out is that both sides are at least in a state where they can exert their full strength. Besides, we haven't agreed on a battlefield or a specific time."
The enormous eyes formed by interwoven lightning bolts in the sky suddenly turned to Li Zhen.
"You personally agreed to challenge seven gods!"
A strange smile appeared on Li Zhen's face.
"Who said you have to keep your promise? Besides, I'm so badly injured, I just don't want to fight today."
"Hercules said this was a hero's ritual, so at the very least, the people you're testing should meet the criteria for a hero, right?"
"Unfortunately, I don't fit the criteria at all, whether it's the classic heroes defined in your mythology or the modern superheroes of the Justice League."
Upon hearing this, all the gods, including Zeus in the heavens, were completely stunned.
Zeus seemed completely unprepared for this, his enormous eyes fixed on the equally dazed Diana.
"You were Diana's student. You defeated the goddess of discord who stirred up trouble head-on. You didn't steal the Apple of Goddess, yet you still dared to venture alone into the realm of the gods to save your teacher..."
Even Athena, the goddess of wisdom, couldn't help but step forward.
"You are immune to magic, and we cannot verify your condition using magic at all. It is useless for you to try to escape with your cleverness. Diana's divine oath was also made based on the fourth ring of the Hero's Ritual."
Diana seemed to be both amused and exasperated.
"If the most basic condition for the hero's ritual is that the gods must recognize the test taker as a hero, then..."
The divine oaths binding Diana's hands and body shattered silently, and her sword and shield fell to the ground.
"I can only admit that he is indeed my student."
Not far away, the bodies of Hercules and Atlas drifted in the wind, and the bloodstains seeped into the ground. Even the temple, which had been torn to pieces, began to gradually recover.
In the shadows of the temple, Hercules nudged Atlas's knee.
"I told you Zeus wouldn't succeed; he's taking a shortcut."
A moment later, the Justice League members, all with bewildered expressions, along with Lee Jung, were roughly kicked out of the God Realm.
