Chapter 564 Paradise Island
In the North Sea, on the paradise island descended and protected by the lost old gods.
This is the paradise where the Amazons live, an island that cannot be observed by human technology. Even airplanes and aircraft carriers cannot detect it, let alone get close to it.
It has been two years since Kandak's unique divine power broke out. During these two years, all kinds of strange things happened all over the world.
More and more super criminals, increasingly conflicting border conflicts, and evil organizations are ready to take action. Everything is impacting the peace maintained by the Justice Society.
However, these did not cause any disturbance to the Amazons who had been living outside the human world for thousands of years.
Since the old gods retired, the Amazons have not left Paradise Island for a long time, and they will not take the initiative to contact unfamiliar human societies. These small countries composed of women live a self-sufficient and peaceful life.
On the beach, Hippolyta, the current Amazon Queen of Paradise Island, was standing alone on the beach, her eyes fixed on the barrier in the distance, in a daze.
That translucent barrier is a barrier specially set by God King Zeus for Paradise Island to protect the safety of Paradise Island and to prevent some interested people from discovering the existence of this island.
Originally, the Amazons had lived like this for a long time, but now, slowly, Hippolyta began to think about whether they should make changes.
While she was deep in thought, a question suddenly came from behind her.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this familiar and pleasant voice, Hippolyta slowly turned her head with a smile on her face. "Diana, aren't you supposed to be training?"
"I have completed today's test with flying colors, so the instructor gave me a day off. She asked me to prepare for the next stage of training." Diana was a little excited. She quickly came to Hippolyta and waved He shook his fist. "finally!"
If Zhang Yi were standing here at this moment, he would definitely recognize this little girl. However, Diana at this time is not the Wonder Woman that everyone will know in the future. She is still too young now and looks like a High school student.
Looking at the young girl who was just as tall as her shoulders, Hippolyta smiled lovingly and then spoke. "You have this talent, I believe your future achievements will be even higher."
"Let's talk about the rest later. By the way, you haven't told me what you are doing here yet." Diana looked at Hippolyta curiously.
"me."
Hearing Diana's question, Hippolyta's smile flashed with a hint of imperceptible bitterness. She turned her head to look at the sea, quietly watching the waves crashing on the shore.
After staring at Hippolyta for a long time and seeing that she didn't say anything, Diana crossed her arms and continued with a smile. "I know even if you don't tell me, you are thinking about the outside world."
Hearing this, Hippolyta looked a little surprised, and she tilted her head. "How do you know I'm thinking about the outside world?"
"It's very simple. Ever since the threat posed by the Kryptonian, you have been coming here frequently. It has even become more and more frequent during this period. If I remember correctly, the war provoked by the Kryptonian is in the outside world. So I guess you are becoming more and more interested in the outside world."
Diana spoke seriously, and she puffed up her chest after speaking, as if she was very confident in her own wisdom.
"The war started by the Kryptonians seems to have never been made public on the island. Diana, can you explain where you heard this information?" Hippolyta raised the corner of her mouth.
"Uh, me." Diana was speechless now, shrinking her neck and not knowing what to do.
"You, you eavesdropped on our meeting again, right? I told you before, when you grow up and become a real warrior, my position will be handed over to you, and you will be the new king of the Amazon. ”
Hippolyta walked up to Diana and put her arm around her shoulders.
I thought Diana would be very excited and happy after hearing this, but what Hippolyta didn't expect was that Diana just looked at the horizon calmly.
"Tell me, what is the outside world like?"
"The outside world." Hippolyta was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly. "It is a very dangerous world. Even the most outstanding warriors among the Amazons cannot guarantee their own safety 100%."
"Not even you?" Diana raised her head and looked at Hippolyta.
Noticing Diana's gaze, Hippolyta shook her head. "Diana, this world is not as simple as you think. The reason why our people live on Paradise Island without contact with the outside world is a forced decision."
"Then since the outside world is so dangerous, what if those people lose, what if they fail to stop the invaders, will our world be the next one?" Diana asked seriously.
Hippolyta opened her mouth. She wanted to find an excuse to excuse her, but looking into Diana's eyes, she didn't know how to speak.
The Kryptonian War five years ago had sounded the biggest alarm bell for her. That event was definitely not just a crisis for the human world, even Paradise Island was also in disaster, but they didn't know it at the time.
If General Zod really killed Kara and used the Genesis Engine to transform the entire earth, then not only the humans on the earth, but also the Amazons on their paradise island would not be able to survive.
In a sense, she should really thank those humans who stopped General Zod.
After getting the specific news and the ins and outs of that battle, Hippolyta felt only fear and happiness in her heart. This time on their paradise island, they really missed death.
Since Paradise Island has not been in contact with human society for many years, they have not received any news about the Genesis Engine and General Zod. By the time they react, the war has been over for more than half a year.
Although the crisis has passed, the thorn in Hippolyta's heart still remains.
The safety of Paradise Island cannot be left to those humans to protect. If they fail, then the city gate will be on fire and the fish will be affected. Paradise Island, which is also a part of the earth, will naturally not be spared.
so.
She wanted to get out.
She wanted to see the outside world, establish an alliance with the humans who protect the earth, and contribute her own strength to the safety of all life on the earth.
This is not only for other people, but also for the people of Paradise Island and Diana who has not yet grown up.
At first, this was just an immature idea, but the energy reaction that happened in Khandak two years ago made her feel a little anxious.
The terrifying auras of the six hell demon lords and the divine power of the Egyptian gods appeared at the same time. This meant that major changes were taking place in the entire world. The power of the ancient times was reawakening. Hippolyta was very clear about the impact this would have.
After all, she had personally experienced the war in ancient times, and she knew very well what kind of dangers there were outside the earth.
If Kandak brought Hippolyta only a sense of urgency two years ago, then the arrival of Shazam, who belongs to the lineage of Zeus some time ago, completely confirmed her idea of leaving Paradise Island.
Since ancient times, the relationship between the Amazons and the Olympus gods has been particularly deep, and the child who inherited the power of Zeus and other gods can naturally be regarded as an 'old friend' of their Amazons.
It can be said that for her, the child named Billy is one of the 'legacies' left by Zeus, just like Diana. What she has to do is to protect these two warriors before they grow up. personal
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Hippolyta hadn't finished speaking for a long time, Diana asked.
"Oh sorry I got distracted."
Hippolyta wiped her face and sighed deeply.
"Diana, you are a smart child and the most talented one on Paradise Island. The future of this world is destined to belong to you. Before that, I will block all dangers for you."
"Is there another intruder? What are you going to do?" Diana's expression changed.
"It's just a feeling. I've always been a little flustered these days. Maybe something big is about to happen. I'm going to leave Paradise Island in a few days and go find the guardians from the outside world to warn them of the upcoming dangers." Xi. Polyta said.
She was still hesitant before, but now the situation is no longer optimistic. More and more clues are warning her that a terrifying catastrophe will come to the earth, and they must prepare in advance.
"You want to leave Paradise Island!?" Diana was shocked when she heard this. "But, you are Her Majesty the Queen, how can you leave here?"
"It's my responsibility, Diana."
Hippolyta smiled and rubbed Diana's head before continuing.
"In order to protect Paradise Island and protect you, I must-"
Before she could finish speaking, an inexplicable feeling rose from Hippolyta's heart.
A trace of confusion first flashed in Hippolyta's eyes, but was soon replaced by surprise. She turned her head sharply and looked up into the sky.
Just when her eyes moved upward, a faint blue cylindrical light suddenly fell from the dome, crossed the barrier and landed straight into the interior of Paradise Island.
"that is"
Diana's eyes widened, wondering what was going on.
But Hippolyta's face froze for a moment as she stood next to her. She recognized this light. It was the same technology as that of the invaders back then.
Looking at the direction where the light fell, Hippolyta suddenly thought of something, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes.
"Oops!"
