American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Hippolyta said nothing, but reminded Diana: "In that case, the King's Duel is scheduled for tomorrow. Do you have any questions?"

Diana shook her head, indicating that there were no more.

"Since there's nothing left, go down and prepare! Antiope, show the guests out!"

After saying this, Hippolyta turned her head away, looking as if she didn't want to see Diana again.

Diana was also tough. She didn't even pick up the Sword of Vulcan and just turned around and left.

The meaning is very clear. When I win, the entire Paradise Island will be mine. It doesn't matter whether I take it or not.

All parties involved have already agreed, and neither Antiope nor Menalipe can change the established facts and can only accept the result.

But from this moment on, Antiope's attitude towards Diana also changed.

Of course, she didn't hate Diana, but she was likely to become the new queen of the Amazons, and then Antiope would judge her by the standards of the new queen, and no longer treat her as a child.

"Since the Queen has accepted your challenge, I will not say anything more. Get ready for the duel in the arena tomorrow."

After saying this, Antiope glared at Dane fiercely and said, "Especially don't do anything that might drain your energy. This is a duel that everyone is watching, and we must not let it be tainted by any stain!"

Dane felt confused. Do you think I would play some two-person games with Diana at this time?

This is outrageous. At least we have to wait until she becomes queen!

Diana didn't know why, but at times like this, she could always accurately grasp Dane's inner thoughts, so she subtly twisted the flesh around Dane's waist with her fingers to remind him not to think too much.

Antiope simply ignored Diana's little movements. Although she hadn't seen a man for a long time, she was not a blank slate. She could naturally see the relationship between Dane and Diana.

Although the Amazon culture is hostile to men, if an Amazonian really falls in love with a man, they will not really break them up.

After all, men can be used to reproduce offspring, and they must acknowledge this function.

After Antiope left, Dane and Diana looked at each other, and he couldn't help laughing: "So this is what a feminist society is like!"

It's very refreshing, like seeing a patriarchal society from a woman's perspective.

Dane knows that there is a world numbered "Earth-11" in the dark multiverse. It is a matriarchal society ruled by the Amazons, and the heroes in it are all gender-reversed versions of the heroes in the main universe.

In that world, men are responsible for being handsome, while women are responsible for earning money to support the family.

It’s interesting to think about, and I wonder if Dane will ever get the chance to go there and take a look.

"Are you really going to duel your mother?" Dane asked.

Diana asked back, "Why? Do you think I will lose?"

Dane shook his head. "I just think her decision is understandable. After all, it's not easy to replenish your Amazon population, and every death in battle is a huge loss."

"And your tactics are already behind the times."

Diana was almost irritated by him and laughed: "If that's the case, then why did you come with me?"

"I'm actually interested in Amazon's artifacts," Dane said honestly. "In terms of weaponry, Amazon should be powerful enough to effectively kill space invaders."

Back then, Darkseid was defeated by the Earth Alliance using magical power, otherwise it would be completely unreasonable.

Apocalypse, a country that mainly plays with technology, actually failed to defeat Earth, a country whose civilization is still in its primitive form.

That must be the work of magic.

"I don't know anything about this. I've lived on Paradise Island for so long, and I've only found one set of equipment."

Wow, it was just one move, but this Versailles move almost broke Dane’s waist.

He has been planning for so long, but he still hasn't put together a complete set!

That night, Hippolyta came to the temple alone.

Facing the murals with statues of gods, she chanted an ancient spell.

As one of the ancient nations, the Atlanteans all knew magic, so how could the Amazons not know it too?

It’s just that Amazons advocate pure force and rarely use magic like wizards.

But that doesn't mean that Hippolyta, as the queen, won't. She knows that as a mortal, she is no match for a demigod like Diana in a normal battle, so she must seek some external help.

"Great goddess Athena, please grant me the power to defeat Diana..."

To obtain blessings in battle, one must seek out the god of war.

Aresbon was the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately he had a grudge against the Amazons, so Hippolyta chose to ask Athena for help.

In fact, in the history of gods, Athena defeated Ares more than once, so her power was very suitable for Hippolyta.

Perhaps because she knew that Hippolyta was her father's lover, Athena gave her face and directly agreed to her request, granting her stronger power.

Feeling a divine power filling her body, Hippolyta opened her eyes, and a divine light flashed in them, then gradually disappeared.

This power couldn't last, probably only enough for Hippolyta to fight for one battle, but it was enough.

"Diana, look carefully and see what the real Amazon is!"

The next day, when they arrived at the arena, the stands were already full of people.

The enclosure was also surrounded by a group of fully armed Amazons, who were holding spears and standing ready facing the center of the venue.

In the middle of the arena, Hippolyta was already standing there.

What Diana didn't expect was that she didn't use any magic weapon, but the Amazon's standard weapons.

As she stood in the center of the field, facing Hippolyta, she heard her voice.

"What? Are you surprised?"

Facing Diana's surprised expression, Hippolyta remained calm. She drew the dagger from her waist and tightened the round shield in her left hand.

"Diana, you may be proud of your martial arts prowess because you have demigod blood." As she spoke, Hippolyta lowered her body slightly, and her eyes began to emit a fierce fighting spirit.

“But you haven’t understood what the word Amazon means yet!”

After saying this, Hippolyta suddenly rushed over at an incredible speed.

Diana subconsciously raised her round shield, and with a "bang", the dagger hit her round shield and pushed her out.

This force not only pushed Diana out, but when she tried to stabilize her body by using her feet to push the ground, she found that the force pushed her further away.

Diana suddenly raised her head. Such power was far beyond that of ordinary Amazon warriors.

The reason why Hippolyta was able to become the Queen of the Amazons was because she possessed the strongest fighting skills among the Amazons!

She is the strongest Amazon! .

Chapter 280 For Justice!

Dane was in the VIP section of the stand, and next to him was the lieutenant Menalipe who had stood next to Hippolyta yesterday.

She followed Antiope's orders and stared at Dane, but Dane saw several times that her eyes were glancing towards the battlefield, as if there was a magical force attracting her there.

He said with a smile, "If you want to see it, just look openly. Don't worry, given my relationship with Diana, I won't do anything bad to Paradise Island."

But Menalipe didn't believe it at all. She had also participated in the battle to defend the Earth and had witnessed Asteria's sacrifice in the human world.

After the Golden Age, humans rebelled against the Amazons, forcing them to flee to the safe haven Zeus created for them.

Asteria stayed behind alone to cover the retreat and eventually sacrificed herself in the human world.

After seeing her distrustful expression, Dane didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore and turned his attention back to the arena.

When he saw that Hippolyta was able to knock Diana away by herself, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Suddenly, a magical power gathered in his eyes. He used magic to activate his magic eyes and saw the clues on Hippolyta.

There is a thin divine power in her body, very faint, but it is real divine power.

This piqued Dane's interest.

"Interesting, who gave her this power?"

He could see that the power in Hippolyta was dwindling and could only sustain this one battle, so it must have been temporarily borrowed from some god.

Despite this, while the divine power is in effect, it can help Hippolyta narrow the gap in ability with Diana.

In terms of strength, speed, endurance and even defense, he is currently on the same level as Diana.

In this way, they are truly competing in technology, awareness, and tactical wisdom, so that it can be called a fair battle with equal strength.

Antiope immediately understood what Hippolyta had done, but it was within the rules, so she didn't say anything.

So all the Amazons present had the opportunity to witness the two demigods competing in the arena.

Each of their attacks practically destroyed the site, shook its foundations.

Diana quickly adapted to Hippolyta's fighting rhythm. Just now, she just didn't react for a moment, which allowed the opponent to seize the initiative, but now she has adapted, and it is her turn to fight back!

"You seem to have gained power equal to mine, which is even better!"

Diana said, then she jumped and chopped down with all her might.

Hippolyta reacted quickly and raised her head to block, but she had forgotten how terrifying the power of a demigod was, and she had not yet adapted to the thinking of a normal person.

So when Diana's sword hit the shield, Hippolyta immediately realized that she had made a big mistake!

Knowing that Hippolyta had the power to fight against her, Diana did not hold back at all this time!

She swung her sword, and the ordinary round shield was instantly cut in half by her huge force, and then it went down and scratched Hippolyta's arm.

Hippolyta immediately retreated quickly, but Diana chased her closely!

Hippolyta had no choice but to hold the sword in one hand and continue to deal with Diana's attack, while quickly using magic to heal the injury on her arm.

There was an uproar in the stands, especially when they saw the queen, who had always been high and mighty and out of reach, being chased and beaten by her own daughter. This shook the faith of many people.

The Amazons are a martial people, so the strong are naturally respected here.

Especially since the person who had the upper hand was not an outsider, but Diana.

Many people here have watched her grow up, so Diana's defeat of Hippolyta will not cause them dissatisfaction, so all the Amazons cheered for her!

Antiope stood on the sidelines feeling a little anxious.

As Hippolyta's sister, she naturally hoped that her sister would win, not because of the throne, but because she agreed more with Hippolyta's ideas.

The Amazons can no longer afford any further losses, and they have already done their best for this world and humanity. There is no reason for them to die for a group of people they don't even know.

But there was no point in her being anxious, because in the end, Hippolyta had to fight this battle herself.

In just these few minutes, Hippolyta managed to buy herself enough time with her superb fighting skills.

Her injured arm has recovered as before. Although she has lost some divine power, it is still within the controllable range.

Hippolyta began to hold the sword with both hands and fought with Diana again, restoring the situation to a evenly matched one.

In fact, according to Hippolyta's current usage, as long as Diana can hold on and wait until the opponent's divine power is exhausted, she can naturally win easily.

But Dane knew that with Diana's pride, she would never do that.

Sure enough, after Hippolyta recovered from her injuries, Diana not only did not change her fighting mode, but instead increased the speed of her attack.

Under the fierce attack, Hippolyta could only try her best to protect herself with her sword. Without a round shield, she was indeed at a disadvantage in blocking.

But she was patient, she knew Diana's shortcomings, and she was waiting for an opportunity.

And this opportunity soon presented itself.

Seeing that she couldn't take the city after a long time of attack, Diana simply threw away her round shield. Since she couldn't use it anyway, she chose to focus on attacking.

However, it was this act of discarding the round shield that gave Hippolyta an excellent opportunity to counterattack!

She took advantage of the moment when Diana threw away the shield and slashed at Diana's waist with a sword, as if she was determined to cut her in two.

Diana couldn't ignore this determination, so she let go of the shield and defended with all her strength, and the shield fell between the two of them.

In a blind spot that Diana couldn't see, Hippolyta reached out and grabbed the shield she had discarded, then pushed it forward.

The round shield hit Diana directly in the face, pushing her out again.

This time Hippolyta would not make the same mistake again. She held the round shield tightly and continued to block Diana's vision with it.

In her other hand, she held the sword and waited for the opportunity to attack Diana violently when she landed, just like what Diana had done to her before.

But this was also the opportunity Diana was waiting for. She was not in a hurry when the shield changed hands, nor was she in a hurry when Hippolyta took the initiative back. Even if the other party deliberately blocked her sight, she was still not panicked at all.

The moment she fell to the ground, Diana smashed the ground with one hand, and the huge force pushed her body back in the air. This was beyond Hippolyta's expectations, and the advance preparation she had just calculated was ineffective.

What Hippolyta didn't realize was that when she blocked Diana's vision with her shield, her own vision was also blocked.
