Chapter 406 Diana in the Dungeon

In the blink of an eye, Yang Le had floated to the bedroom. When he came here before, there were only ruins. Now, not only have the debris been cleared, but a luxurious palace has even been built.

Yang Le sneaked his head into the palace, and when he looked up, he saw two graceful figures lazily lying on their respective rattan chairs. One of them was unfamiliar to Yang Le, but the other was a familiar face to Yang Le - the witch Cersei.

Between the two rattan chairs was a table woven from the same material, on which were placed various fruit delicacies and a golden wine jug.

Circe lifted her finger slightly, and the wine jug slowly floated up and poured a glass of wine for each of them, and then slowly returned to its original position.

"Thank you very much for your help, Princess Nephthys." Circe first handed the wine glass to the woman opposite, and then picked up her own glass of wine.

Nephthys took a sip of the wine. The scarlet wine hung on her lips, making her face look even more charming.

After putting down the wine glass, Nephthys opened her mouth and said, "This isn't just to help you, it's also to help ourselves. Thanks to the opportunity you provided, we were able to step out of our corner and take over this place with dignity."

"It can be seen that you have been dissatisfied with your previous situation for a long time." Circe picked up a grape and put it into her mouth.

"It's more than just dissatisfaction." Nephthys placed her wine glass on the table. "I've long harbored the thought of overthrowing them, but because of the gods' beloved child, I've been forced to suppress it."

"The gods' favorite child?" Circe scoffed. "Now she's nothing more than a prisoner. As a loser, she's been stripped of everything."

Before Circe finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Troy, fully armed, walked in.

"Troy, my pride, come here." Circe stood up and opened her arms like a mother welcoming her child.

Troy did not refuse. He took a few quick steps to meet Circe's embrace. The two hugged each other for a moment before letting go of each other.

"How is it?" Circe smoothed Troy's hair and asked gently, "Have you dealt with our prisoner?"

"I've taken care of it. I put her in the underground prison of Amazon." Troy answered honestly, but then she asked doubtfully.

"Why don't we just get rid of her? It will save us a lot of trouble."

"My silly child." Circe chuckled and tapped Troy's forehead. "We haven't tamed those Amazons yet. If we rashly execute their princess, it will surely provoke their wrath. Once they rebel, we must suppress them. But if we destroy them, wouldn't that be more trouble than good?"

In fact, this is just the simplest reason. There is a deeper reason why Circe did not kill Diana. It is because Diana is a child cared for by the gods. Although these gods will not come out to interfere for no reason, if Diana is really killed, even Circe is not sure whether there will be any gods to take action.

After all, the Olympian gods' favorite thing is to do things behind the scenes. This is a tradition that has been passed down since ancient Greece.

So Circe really didn't dare to attack Diana for the time being. She decided to use Diana to test the bottom line of the gods first. Although she couldn't take her life, she must humiliate her. The first step was to throw Diana into the dungeon.

"Don't be ashamed, my child." Circe comforted the ashamed Troy. "As a newly crowned queen, you still have much to learn. You must unite the two tribes into one and become the king of all the Amazons."

"Unify the two tribes?" Circe had just finished speaking when Nephthys behind her could no longer sit still. She immediately stood up from the wicker chair and questioned Circe.

"Circe! What nonsense did you just say! This is not our…"

Nephthys felt a cramp in her stomach, and then something rushed out of her throat. Nephthys bent over, holding her stomach, and vomited a mouthful of blood with a wow.

"What is this?" Troy looked at everything happening in front of her in shock. Just as she was about to check on Nephthys' condition, she was stopped by Circe.

"Relax, Troy." Circe smiled and hugged Troy. "I'm just helping you remove the obstacles before you ascend the throne. I know you're a warrior, so let your mother handle this kind of dirty work."

"Circe..." Nephthys fell in a pool of blood, looking at the witch with a ferocious face. The pain of her pierced intestines further aroused her resentment.

"I...curse you! Curse...you..."

After struggling for a few times, Nephthys finally died. The proud queen finally fell in a pool of blood and died miserably.

Circe didn't care about Nephthys' curse. She just clapped her hands a few times, and the corpse and the blood disappeared without a trace. Circe turned around and turned into the appearance of Nephthys who had just died.

"How's it going, my dear?" Circe, transformed into Nephthys, showed off her body. "Doesn't it look exactly the same?"

Troy finally came to his senses and replied woodenly, "Ah, yes, mother."

Seeing that Troy was distracted, Circe just smiled, then hugged Troy again and comforted him, saying, "I'm doing this for your own good. This is an indispensable part of your becoming the Queen of the Amazons. Only in this way can we live a good life."

Yang Le, who had watched the whole process from the side, was speechless. Isn't this the legendary PUA? The inexperienced Troy was indeed easy to be manipulated.

After enjoying a classic European and American drama of seizing the throne, Yang Le left with the location of Diana he had obtained from a few words. As he said before, the internal strife among the Amazons had nothing to do with him. He only came to obtain Diana's location, and now that he knew it, he could leave.

According to Troy, Diana is now being imprisoned in a dungeon. Although Yang Le doesn't know where the dungeon is, it must be underground. As long as he goes underground, he will be able to find her.

After great effort, Yang Le finally found a staircase underground. He floated down the stairs and found a dungeon. He walked past the guards as if no one was around, and found Diana deep in the dungeon.

At this time, Wonder Woman no longer had the majesty of the past. All her armor and weapons had been removed, and she was only wearing a torn linen shirt. Her hands and feet were shackled with iron chains. Because of the chains, Diana could only choose to kneel on the shackles or sit on the ground. Even lying down was impossible.

When Yang Le saw this scene, he felt a sudden palpitation for no reason and immediately revealed his figure. Although his body was locked up, Diana's perception was still sharp. She immediately noticed that there was an extra person in the cell.

She raised her head with difficulty and saw Yang Le who had turned into a ghost. When she saw the Omnitrix logo on the ghost's chest, she immediately knew that it was Yang Le who had come.

"Honestly, the last thing I want you to do is see me like this." Diana smiled bitterly.
