"After you left, the new king of… uh… Paradise Island took care of Darkseid alone."
The image switches, and Darkseid's battleship explodes into a fireball in space.
"And then?" Barry's hand holding the Coke trembled slightly.
"And then you came back."
Shazam shrugged, "That's all that happened."
...........
Inside the main hall of Paradise Island, golden sunlight shines into the hall.
Queen Hippolyta was discussing border defense matters with several generals when suddenly there was a spatial fluctuation and Xiao Han appeared out of thin air with Diana.
"New King!"
Hippolyta immediately stood up and saluted, and the other Amazon warriors also knelt on one knee.
Xiao Han nodded slightly and glanced at every soldier present.
His eyes glowed with a faint golden light, and his super vision instantly saw through the physical fitness of these soldiers.
"Your bodies are too weak," he said softly.
Hippolyta was startled: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Han didn't answer, but just raised his hand and waved.
A green light flashed, and a serum with an emerald luster appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened.
The serum began to replicate itself, one became two, two became four, and in the blink of an eye, it split into hundreds of identical sera, neatly suspended in the center of the hall.
"Let everyone get these injected." Xiao Han ordered briefly.
The Amazon warriors looked at each other.
Diana stepped forward, picked up a tube of serum and examined it carefully in the sunlight: "Is this, the strengthening serum?"
"Yes, human enhancement serum."
Xiao Han said calmly, "Add a little of my energy."
The youngest female warrior, Antiope, was the first to step forward.
Without hesitation, she injected the serum into her arm, and as the emerald green liquid flowed into her veins, her skin began to glow.
"Ah!" Antiope suddenly fell to her knees, her muscles convulsing.
The other soldiers nervously wanted to step forward, but Xiao Han raised his hand to stop them.
The pain lasted only a few seconds.
When Antiope stood up again, her pupils had turned the same emerald green as the serum.
She clenched her fist in disbelief, the air crackling between her fingers.
"I feel like I've been blessed by Ares!"
She threw a punch excitedly, leaving a deep fist mark on the stone pillar ten meters away.
Hippolyta took a deep breath and immediately bowed deeply to Xiao Han.
"Thank you for your gift, new king. The Amazons will always remember this gift."
Xiao Han waved his hand nonchalantly: "Use it to improve your strength so that you won't be bullied."
Chapter 195 Are You Here to Rewrite My Story?
Queen Hippolyta solemnly took the suspended serum, her eyes full of excitement.
Although the Amazon warriors have undergone years of training, they are still just slightly stronger humans.
Apart from Diana, there are almost no decent fighters.
If Xiao Han had not appeared, they might have died in the battle with the demon-like creatures.
She turned to the warriors in the hall, her voice solemn and authoritative.
"Warriors of the Amazon, line up to receive the gifts of the new king."
The female warriors quickly formed neat rows, and the collision of armor made crisp sounds.
Xiao Han sat casually on the throne, supporting his chin with one hand, watching Hippolyta personally inject serum into each soldier.
Every time a dose of serum is injected, a emerald green light will light up in the hall.
"what!"
A blonde female warrior suddenly knelt on one knee, her muscles expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing her armor to creak.
Xiao Han snapped his fingers lightly, and the female warrior's pain was immediately relieved.
She stood up and looked at her powerful arms in disbelief.
"I feel like I could tear a cow apart with my bare hands!"
Hippolyta nodded with satisfaction and turned to Xiao Han.
"New King, please allow me to take my leave and go oversee the distribution of the serum."
Xiao Han waved his hand casually.
Hippolyta led the strengthened warriors out of the hall in a procession, and the heavy door slowly closed behind them.
Now, only Xiao Han and Diana were left in the empty hall.
Diana stared at Xiao Han's profile and suddenly laughed softly.
"New King, you treat us better than Zeus did."
Xiao Han turned his head and looked at her with interest: "Have you seen Zeus?"
Diana shook her head, pursing her red lips.
"In human terms, Zeus is like an illusory god. We believe in him, but have never actually seen him. If it weren't for the fact that Athena's statue can actually perform miracles, I might have thought he was fictional."
"what about me?"
Xiao Han suddenly moved closer, and the distance between them was so close that Diana was a little uncomfortable.
Diana's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she didn't step back.
"You are a true god, a god walking among the earth."
Xiao Han smiled, stood up and walked down from the high seat.
"You don't have to call me the New King, just call me Xiao Han."
He walked towards the palace gate and said, "Take me to see the scenery of Paradise Island."
Diana was startled, then smiled: "The scenery of Paradise Island is beautiful."
She stepped forward quickly, "Please follow me."
“The most beautiful view of Paradise Island is on the other side of the cliff.”
The two walked through the winding white stone corridor, and the Amazon warriors along the way saluted them.
But Xiao Han noticed that their eyes were no longer filled with awe as before, but instead contained a bit more sincere gratitude.
"do you know?"
Diana suddenly stopped and pointed at a deep sword mark on the pillar.
"This is from when I was twelve and I defeated the instructor for the first time. Hippolyta was so angry that she almost put me in detention."
Xiao Han reached out and touched the mark, his fingers glowing faintly.
In an instant, as if time was reversed, the cracks on the stone pillar slowly healed, and finally a vivid picture emerged.
Young Diana held up a wooden sword with a stubborn look on her face.
Diana's eyes widened in surprise, "Is this also time magic?"
“It’s just materializing images from the past.”
Xiao Han withdrew his hand, and the image immediately disappeared. "Want to see more of your childhood stories?"
Diana smiled slightly and quickened her pace: "I think it's not necessary. The observation deck is just ahead."
After turning the last corner, the view suddenly opened up.
The white viewing platform on the cliff extends to the blue Aegean Sea, and in the distance, the place where the sea and the sky meet is glowing with golden rays of light.
A breeze blew by, carrying with it the salty scent of ocean waves.
Xiao Han walked to the railing, and wherever his eyes went, the sea suddenly rippled with strange waves.
Countless luminescent marine creatures rise from the depths and perform a gorgeous dance in the sunlight.
"What is this?" Diana stared at it intently.
"A little trick."
Xiao Han waved his hand casually, and the clouds in the distance began to change shape, gradually forming the outlines of the Olympian gods.
"You said you've never seen Zeus, so what about this?"
The image of Zeus formed by clouds is majestic and vivid, with lightning flashing in his hands.
Immediately afterwards, Hera, Apollo, Athena and other gods appeared one after another, forming a spectacular scene in the clouds.
Diana stared at all this in disbelief.
"It's so similar. That's what I saw on the statue. But Xiao Han, why do you know so much about the Greek pantheon?"
The clouds suddenly dispersed, Xiao Han turned around and leaned on the railing, his black cloak rustling in the sea breeze.
"Because I've seen the real Olympus."
Reading the comics should count, Xiao Han added in his mind.
Soon, they continued to move forward.
She led the way in front, and Xiao Han followed slowly behind.
The two walked through the winding white columns and came to a bay.
The azure Aegean Sea stretched out at her feet, and the sea breeze blew through Diana's hair.
"This is our training ground."
Diana pointed to a stretch of beach ahead where dozens of Amazon warriors were training. The newly injected serum made their movements as fast as lightning.
Xiao Han's gaze passed beyond the training ground and looked further away.
His pupils contracted slightly, and his super vision penetrated the clouds, allowing him to see scenes that ordinary people could not imagine.
"It's beautiful."
She spoke softly, but it wasn't clear whether she was commenting on the scenery or the female warrior beside her.
Diana turned to look at him, the sunlight gilding her features.
"Want to see other scenery? That's the most spectacular view on Paradise Island."
Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Lead the way."
Diana flew up and Xiao Han followed her with a smile.
The figures of the two passed by in the sunlight.
The setting sun casts a warm golden glow over Paradise Island.
Xiao Han and Diana stood on the top of the hillside, with rolling olive groves at their feet and the blue Aegean Sea in the distance sparkling like scattered diamonds.
"This was my favorite place when I was a child." Diana said softly, the sea breeze ruffling her long black hair.
“Whenever training gets too hard, I sneak out here to watch the sunset.”
Xiao Han leaned against an ancient olive tree, his eyes fixed on Diana's profile outlined by the setting sun.
"So you've longed for the outside world since you were a child?"
