Chapter 210 Freedom and the Future (Please subscribe, read, and comment on the monthly ticket)

"I can't argue with you!"

Diana gave up on the verbal battle with Martin. Although she had the blessing of Athena, she could never win. She glanced at the silent Queen of the Underworld, but in the end she said nothing.

After all, Persephone is the Queen of the Underworld, and Hades would never watch his nominal wife being taken away, especially into the human world.

Even though there is no love between them, Hades will launch a thorough revenge for the sake of face.

But Diana knew that this reasoning would not convince Martin.

In Martin's eyes, there is no queen of the underworld, no goddess, only a life that was robbed, forced into marriage, and forced to leave his mother and live in loneliness for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

He would never let Persephone go back to that prison-like life.

This has nothing to do with the "collusion" that Hippolyta mentioned. It is simply an act of justice to stand up and punish the strong and help the weak.

With such worries, Diana walked on the road opened by Martin's magic, silently planning in her heart how to resist Hades' revenge.

Martin could think of what Diana could think of, but he didn't care much.

When Hades opens his eyes tomorrow, he may not remember who took Persephone away.

Even if they remember, they may not have time to fight back. The abyss is changing, and it will definitely have an impact on the underworld. If the land of death is turned into a cradle of fresh life, that would be a lot of fun.

What's more, Mount Olympus would not sit idly by. Zeus had long been dissatisfied with his two brothers and wanted to get rid of them.

Between a woman and the safety of his own nest, Martin was sure that this ambitious Pluto would choose the latter.

The changes in the abyss cannot be completed overnight. By the time Hades has dealt with his lair, the human world may have been hundreds or thousands of years later.

Martin knew more than Diana, so he was more optimistic. He took Persephone on the road to Paradise Island, and the space on the road folded rapidly.

A few seconds later, they stepped onto the land of Paradise Island.

The rose-red sunset emitted a magnificent light, shining on Martin and the others.

"it is finally over!"

Martin felt the sunlight on his face. The evening sun had lost its temperature, and the wind blowing from the sea was slightly cool.

He stretched out his stiff body, sat down on the rocks on the shore, looked at the waves rising up, and decided not to go to the island.

Persephone's reaction was even more exaggerated than Martin's.

The moment the goddess was illuminated by the sun, her whole being was sublimated.

This is not a description, but a fact.

The seeds of Persephone that had endured for months in the snow under the sun finally got the nourishment of the sun and rain, broke through the darkness and began to sprout.

Her black gauze dress changed quickly, from a thin gauze dress to an intricately styled evening dress, from the monotonous and cold black to a colorful one, like a rainbow, illuminating the surroundings.

The divine power of the Seed Goddess began to sprout, and the entire Paradise Island was covered by her power. All the power hidden in the land was born, rushing up to the sky, and dyeing the sky of Paradise Island into a painting.

This painting is messy, with countless colors thrown randomly in the sky, like a primary school student's graffiti, but there is a primitive and majestic vitality gushing out from it.

"I'm finally free!"

Persephone opened her arms and spun around wildly, even though the movement made no sense, she just couldn't help but do it.

There was no longer any aura of death on her. Her long golden hair fluttered in the wind and a sunny smile was on her beautiful face.

Martin leaned against the huge reef, looking at the free Persephone, and finally did not disturb the woman who had finally escaped from the cage.

He looked at the divine power gushing out of the sky and said to Diana, "I originally planned to let Persephone stay in Paradise Island for a while before going to human society. This way, a lot of trouble can be avoided."

"But now, she can't live on Paradise Island. With such a huge surge of divine power, the gods of Mount Olympus are not blind. They will definitely come to investigate. By then, Persephone may not be able to stop Zeus's majesty, and the Amazons will be caught between the two and find it difficult to make a decision."

Diana sat on the reef next to Martin, looking at Persephone who had set herself free, and said to the people around her, "In fact, you can just leave the Queen of the Underworld here and put Paradise Island in trouble. Then use me to persuade my mother to join your side."

"I would never do anything like that to force anyone to join a gang."

Martin answered without thinking: "You started with this and you will end with this. If you force people to join, they will eventually be unwilling to do so. When the critical moment comes, they will cause a lot of trouble."

Diana nodded: "Okay, I will try my best to persuade my mother to open Paradise Island and try to integrate into this world."

"You don't have to rush. It's actually better to enter Paradise Island later."

Martin was thinking about the enemies that might appear in the future, and had no intention of exposing all his strength in advance.

The war with Zod made him realize that someone was watching the Earth. But they didn't know much about the Earth, so they sent Zod's Kryptonian stray dogs who had nowhere to go to be his vanguard to scout the situation.

Zod and the Sky Eye have cooperated and must have stolen a lot of intelligence and gained a deep understanding of the countries on Earth. But they may not be aware of the organizations hidden deep inside and the various superhumans.

The Atlanteans, the Amazons, the mysterious wizards, and the aliens who fled to Earth have not yet revealed their powers.

Therefore, before the real enemy appears, Martin does not want to reveal his cards too early and let the other party develop special tactics to deal with them.

Martin said to Diana: "Let Batman and Superman take the lead now. With the power of superheroes, they are enough to fight any enemy who comes to Earth alone. You can also seize this opportunity to reform the military system of Paradise Island."

"It doesn't matter what kind of weapons you use. The key is to improve your organization and discipline. Don't continue with the nomadic era's 'courage only theory'. Otherwise, even if all the Amazons survive, you won't be able to win on the battlefield."

Diana was no stranger to war and the army, but she didn't expect Martin to be so familiar with military training. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "How many times have you become a general? How come you are so familiar with military affairs?"

"I have no talent for war. I am just copying what others have said. If you don't mind me saying I'm wrong, just use it!"

Martin didn't want to talk about the past events on the battlefield. He just talked about some theories and cases and then stopped talking.

Persephone finally had enough of her anger and stopped spinning and jumping. Instead, she came to Martin in her long rainbow skirt and thanked her.

"Forget about thanking me. Just follow Diana to the Amazons' palace and rest. Tomorrow, if I'm still here, I'll take you away from Paradise Island. Otherwise, just follow Diana's arrangements. You won't go wrong."

Martin waved to Diana. He didn't want to go deeper into Paradise Island, so as not to continue the argument with Hippolyta in the underworld.

Although this responsible queen would never make a wrong decision at critical moments, under normal circumstances, she would still compete with Martin for victory before giving up.

"And?" Diana knew that Martin was a man who would not back down, especially when arguing with others. She even suspected that Martin was addicted to arguing, and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't debate with others for a moment.

"Besides, I'm too lazy to move! The temperature on Paradise Island is neither too high nor too low, and the breeze blowing by the sea is just right for me to fall asleep."

Martin didn't hide it, he was just too lazy to move.

"Then I'll accompany you. Gods don't need to sleep anyway. I'm also curious about the process of your transformation into a new identity."

Persephone snapped her fingers, and her heavy dress turned into a slim-fitting long skirt, and she sat directly next to Martin.

Diana's heart was filled with alarm bells. Looking at Persephone with a naive smile on her face, she gave up the idea of returning to the palace and sat on the other side of Martin.

"You two perverts, you actually want to watch me sleep?"

Martin was stared at by the two beauties' bright eyes. He felt very uncomfortable and felt as if he was pricked by needles all over his body. He suddenly became restless.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you say it again?"

Diana put her hands on Martin's shoulders, only a dozen centimeters away from his neck. With just a little force, she could break his neck.

So, even though Diana said this with a smile, Martin felt a chill down his spine.

Persephone shook her head slightly, "Martin, it's not a gentleman's thing to say to a girl like that."

Although the Seed Goddess tilted her head gently, her dissatisfaction with Martin was visible to the naked eye.

"My ancestor, my two aunts! I was wrong. You should go to the palace and have a rest. Don't bother me with this rough old man."

Martin really didn't dare to mess with these two women, one was a true god and the other was a demigod. If he made them angry, who knows what would happen.

Diana and Persephone were not really angry, and seeing Martin begging for mercy, they did not continue to pester him.

The two women held each other's hands, walked across the rocks step by step, and soon left the beach.

Martin breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with the two of them was no easier than dealing with Hades.

After seeing them off, he leaned against the reef, let out a long breath, looked at the sea dyed red by the setting sun, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

"Martin fell asleep, but I didn't feel any different!"

Persephone held Diana's hand. They were still sisters by blood, but they had never met each other.

Diana replied: "It's not always possible to see such earth-shattering scenes."

"Did you know that he once became a priest of Quetzalcoatl?"

Persephone did not answer, for she was certain that her half-sister was provoking her in this way.

Kandak, an ancient country, is deeply influenced by Egyptian culture.

Perhaps it is the influence of some mysterious force that this ancient but small country has always changed with the rise and fall of Egypt.

In modern times, when Egypt was occupied by colonists, Kandak also did not escape the fate of being colonized, even though the country did not have any rich mineral deposits.

However, international capital still used various means to support a so-called democratic government, launched neoliberal reforms, and packaged and sold various national assets to international asset tycoons.

Since then, Kandak has been still under the rumbling of artillery fire, without a moment of peace that should have belonged to them.

However, those multinational corporations try every possible way to exploit the human resources of this small country, but are unwilling to assume any obligations. Even if they just use charity as a fig leaf, they are too lazy to do it.

Only when charitable organizations come and donate money to them will these people do some superficial work.

"I really don't know what these people are doing. Do they think we are blind? They are using these things to fool us."

Adriana Thomas looked at the luxurious hotel in front of her and felt indignant.

Although she is a historian, she also knows that in a country where most people live below the poverty line and can only make a living by farming, building roads, reservoirs or a few fertilizer plants is more useful than building a luxurious hotel.

The other people from the charity organization had no reaction. They followed the hotel staff in, handed their luggage to the waiters, and started enjoying the luxurious facilities like emperors.

Adriana, who is now 30 years old, could not accept this absurd thing at all. She said to all the rescue team members:
"I really don't know whether you are here for vacation or to seek death. You are still in the mood to enjoy this environment at this time. Aren't you afraid that people outside will rush in and tear you to pieces?"

Adriana's bold words had no effect on the charity organization members who were traveling with her.

They fell on the sofa and said shamelessly: "We are here to work, not to suffer. Before we start working, of course we need to have a good rest so that we can be motivated to work."

The person in charge of the hotel also took the opportunity to interject and said, "You are right. If we want to completely change the face of this backward country, we need international investment. We now have a luxurious hotel like this one, just to make those investors feel at home and encourage them to pay quickly."

"hehe!"

Adriana didn't even have the energy to blame these guys for their sophistry.

"Since you love to enjoy yourself so much, I hope you will die in the process of enjoying yourself!"

After uttering this curse, Adriana turned around and walked away. Even carrying a heavy backpack could not stop her fast pace.

After leaving the hotel, the historian hailed a car at the door, gave an address, and prepared to continue his work.

Her job is to study the cultures around Egypt, especially the pyramids and secrets that hold the pharaohs.

She came to Kandak this time because a friend discovered a special ancient tomb in which a pharaoh was buried.

This was such a rare story that she didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she followed the charity organization to Kandak.

But what he saw and heard along the way was really disappointing to him.

I hope everything in that tomb is worth her efforts.
