Kara glanced at him and pouted.
Shen You's face darkened.
I'm so sorry, my family is still alive and well, I really apologize for being so unsociable.
Just then, Diana Prince came in from outside.
Three of the seven founding members of the Justice League have already gathered in this small restaurant.
"Sister Diana!"
Carla stood up with delight. Diana nodded to her, then sat down without a word.
"Huh? Sister Diana, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"
The female warrior had a stern face, and indeed, her expression seemed to show her unhappiness.
Shen You also instinctively noticed that her demeanor seemed a little different today than before.
how to say
If she previously gave off a strong and valiant Valkyrie vibe, now she exudes more of a queenly aura.
Diana glanced at them and said softly.
"I feel like I'm about to become the King of the Olympians."
Chapter 236 God Queen Diana?
"They found me."
Diana stared at the coffee cup in front of her, somewhat lost in thought.
She was not awakened until Clark called out to her.
"Who? Diana?"
Who found you?
Diana then came to her senses and looked up.
“Olympus, those gods, Clark,” she said. “All the gods.”
few days ago.
At the time of the incident, Diana was restoring an ancient Greek-style artwork. A sudden blue light appeared in her studio, and a figure abruptly materialized.
"Hermes?"
Diana turned around and was surprised to find Hermes, the messenger of the twelve Olympian gods, in her room.
"You want to see me for something?"
“I’m afraid so, Wonder Woman,” Hermes said, “but not me, but the gods. Olympus is holding a council of the gods, and it has been a long time since the last council of this caliber.”
They are about to talk about something very important.
“What does that have to do with me?” Diana frowned. “I’m not a god. If you’re going to say it’s because I’m a descendant of Zeus? Forget it. If you took all the descendants of Zeus on this planet, Mount Olympus wouldn’t be able to hold them all.”
“Indeed, but this is the decision of the gods. They decided that you are different from the other offspring. Let’s go quickly, we can talk about it when we get there.”
Without giving Diana a chance to refuse, he reached out and grabbed her wrist. The next moment, a flash of light, a dizzying spin, and when she came to her senses, she was on Olympus, among the gods.
The gods surrounded the suspended platform, with the vast starry sky above them. A magnificent throne stood at the highest point of the steps, but no one was on it.
That represents the position of a god-king.
Diana glanced around and saw many familiar faces. Her old friend Hephaestus was there, as were Hera and Apollo. However, Apollo's gaze was somewhat evasive, as if he didn't want to meet her eyes. Hera's eyes still held hostility, but it wasn't as intense anymore.
Diana found it strange.
"What do you want?"
"It's nothing, Princess."
It was Poseidon who spoke. But his appearance was that of a fat aquatic animal, with blue skin covered in scales, tentacles on his shoulders, and a trident in his hands.
No one can even be sure if this is Poseidon himself.
“We just had a debate about what you know is the only issue that matters to everyone right now regarding Olympus.”
Wonder Woman looked up, following everyone's gaze, and her eyes fell on the throne at the very top.
“No.” Diana’s pupils contracted. “That’s impossible, you wouldn’t.”
“If you ask me, I certainly think it’s ridiculous too.” Poseidon snorted. “In fact, my brother Hades thinks so as well. The position of the king of the gods can only be between the two of us, but obviously the other gods don’t think so.”
Especially Ares, it was he who mentioned your name, and we were all quite surprised, considering the past conflict between you two.
A hunched old man beside her chuckled. That was Ares, one of the gods Diana knew best, though their relationship had been more conflict-ridden than friendly.
“You nominated me? Why?” Diana asked.
“Personally, I am not interested in a god-king, for reasons I have told you before, and my thoughts have not changed. Only war is eternal,” Ares said calmly. “And similarly, I do not believe that the ascension of Zeus’ two ambitious brothers would be a good thing for Olympus. I believe the other gods share this view.”
The other gods remained silent, but their expressions said it all.
“We held a vote just before you arrived,” Poseidon said coldly. “I still don’t agree with the result, but more gods did choose you.”
"Why?" Diana asked in surprise. "But I'm not even one."
“Gods? It doesn’t matter. Anyone with his blood is qualified to inherit Zeus’s position,” Ares said. “I know you, little one. Even though you’ve tried to stop me time and time again, even though you may have misunderstood the war and thought I was on your side.”
But to be honest, I like you, little one. We don't need an ambitious god-king who always wants more, or someone who might cause any change to the godhood and authority of others, or the existing order.
Neither Poseidon, Hades, nor even Apollo could guarantee this.
As he spoke, he glanced at Apollo beside him. The latter, who had seemed intent on minimizing his presence the entire time, immediately shook his head upon being mentioned: "No, I didn't, I'm not interested in that position, don't talk nonsense."
No one knows what happened to him during this time, but he was completely different from the ambitious sun god he used to be.
Perhaps he suffered a harsh lesson from society.
“So you all chose me?” Diana said. “That’s ridiculous.”
“That’s your seat now, no matter what,” Ares said. “Go, take your seat.”
Diana shook her head: "No. Whatever your reasons for making that choice, thank you. But I don't think that's where I belong."
“Okay, if you don’t want to sit, you can stand. It’s the same.” Ares smiled. “Anyway, that seat is yours now.”
"Wow."
Kara expressed her surprise.
"So... that's it? You're the Queen of the Gods now? It sounds weird, but it also sounds pretty cool."
“It’s not that simple.” Diana shook her head. “A divine position is not just about power, but also about responsibility. It brings not only power, but also authority, which in turn changes the person who occupies that position.”
“You’re worried that this position will change you,” Clark said knowingly. “But you rejected them, didn’t you?”
“That’s the problem, Clark. I’m not sure if there’s an option to refuse in this,” Diana said. “Like Ares said, that position was already mine, even though I didn’t take it. But who knows?”
In just a few days, I've already started to feel something is off. Sometimes I feel agitated, and other times I find my thoughts are changing.
I began to become indifferent, my emotions ceased to fluctuate, as if nothing could arouse my interest or even stir any emotion within me.
Shen You handed over a copy of A Song of Ice and Fire: "Want a copy?"
"Yes." Diana's eyes lit up, as if by reflex.
Shen You smiled.
"See, there are still people who want it."
Diana paused, thought about it for a moment, and realized it made sense.
Perhaps only ice cream is special to her?
"You're just anxious about change because you don't know what will happen once you accept it, which is normal. Perhaps the divine position will bring about change, but ultimately it is the person sitting on it who decides."
Shen You patted her on the shoulder.
“And we all know what kind of person you are. So just be Diana Prince. Maybe it’s a good thing, that you can make Olympus a decent and valuable place for the first time in thousands of years.”
He has his reasons for saying that. Diana is, after all, Diana, one of the Justice League's three leaders. In the original comics, she killed Ares to take over the God of War. Although she was initially influenced by the divine position, she ultimately stayed true to herself.
If she can't do it, then no one else can.
“Thank you. In fact, I’ve been thinking about that too these past couple of days. Maybe you’re right,” Diana smiled.
"But before that, there's another question," Shen You pondered. "Would the Olympian gods, especially Apollo, Poseidon, and Hades, really be so willing to give up this position to you?"
The position of God-King is not just a fancy title; it is the true throne of all gods. In the comics, Apollo, who briefly ascended to this throne, even had the power to depose Hera and banish her to the mortal realm.
This position not only possesses corresponding divine authority and power like other divine positions, but also has the authority to arbitrarily confiscate the divine power of other gods.
In other words, if other gods want to defeat the God-King and overthrow him, they cannot use the divine power of their own divine positions, but can only fight by relying on the power brought by their innate bloodline.
Of course, this doesn't mean there's absolutely no chance of winning. After all, in the comics, Apollo, who wielded the power of the gods, was killed by a son of Zeus through brute force.
“I do have some doubts,” Diana frowned. “Even though they explained the reasons to me, I still feel like something’s not quite right.”
At that moment, the door opened, and a strange man with an ugly appearance, tall stature but dwarf-like proportions walked in.
"Excuse me, is Miss Diana Prince here?"
“Hephaestus?” Diana stood up. “He’s here. Is something the matter?”
"It is indeed here."
Hephaestus stepped forward, glancing around mysteriously, as if to make sure no one was watching him.
Then he lowered his voice and whispered.
"You must be careful, Diana. There's more to the story of the God King than meets the eye!"
Chapter 237 Laughing Like That Is Unlucky
Olympus.
"I thought you were just joking, but it turns out you were serious. The Olympian King, that Amazon? Are you sure there's no problem?"
The goddess of discord sat on the steps below the throne, munching on an apple while watching the gods gathered below.
